Chapter 19: Ba Xia Takes Human Form

“Roar…”

A low roar rang out.

Finally, after Chen Fan had spent tens of thousands of points, Ba Xia slowly opened its eyes, a powerful pressure spreading from it.

A low growl, akin to a dragon’s roar.

“Hoo…”

Seeing Ba Xia awaken, Chen Fan let out a heavy sigh of relief.

“Roar…”

Another low growl. Ba Xia looked at Chen Fan, its eyes filled with gentleness and gratitude.

“My master… thank you…”

Ba Xia spoke softly. Its voice was still incredibly weak.

However, it was gentle and carried a sense of age and antiquity.

It seemed that it had spent too long in that world. It had grown too weak, so much so that it had been reduced to something the beastmen viewed on par with dragons.

In Chen Fan’s impression, Ba Xia had only barely been able to exert its strength, unable to cast any spells at all.

“No need to thank me.”

“Are you feeling any better?”

Chen Fan asked gently.

Now that Ba Xia had been restored and bound to him, it was essentially a completed contract—it had fully acknowledged him as its master.

“A bit better…”

“But… I think I’m finally back…”

“Back in the Eastern World…”

Ba Xia’s voice trembled—it had wandered for far too long.

That world had constantly weakened it, stripping away its power.

Now, that sensation had vanished—completely gone.

“Yes.”

“Welcome home.”

Chen Fan said with a smile. He had some understanding of what Ba Xia had experienced, and could empathize with its emotions in this moment.

“That’s wonderful… truly wonderful…”

“Thank you, my master…”

Confirming it had returned, Ba Xia was so overwhelmed it nearly burst into tears.

“Don’t get too excited—don’t jostle the fetal energy…”

The Medusa Empress offered a kind reminder.

She could sense that Ba Xia had exhausted an immense amount of vitality to conceive, but even now, the divine egg still lacked sufficient energy.

If things went wrong, it might just become a dead egg.

“My child…”

“My child has finally been saved…”

Ba Xia murmured, overwhelmed with joy.

“By the way, why did you choose to conceive in that world?”

“Even the strongest dragons over there aren’t worthy of you, are they?”

Chen Fan frowned slightly but still asked.

“My master, I did not mate with anyone.”

“In that world, I was nearing the end of my life.”

“But I refused to let my corpse remain in that realm after death.”

“So, I stole the Elves’ Water of Life. After drinking it, I conceived a child…”

Ba Xia explained softly: “Just as you said, my master, the beings of that world are far too weak. If I had truly mated with any of them, it would have tainted my bloodline…”

“Good.”

Receiving a satisfactory answer, Chen Fan felt quite at ease.

“Next, focus on recovering your strength.”

“This is all I can do for now.”

Chen Fan advised sincerely.

“Many thanks, my master.”

“What you’ve done for me is already more than enough.”

“Now that I’ve returned, I can gradually recover through cultivation…”

Ba Xia was brimming with confidence.

“Right—can you take human form?”

“Or at least shrink your body?”

“Your current size is too big—my house can’t accommodate you for now.”

Chen Fan looked a little embarrassed.

Inwardly, he decided that as soon as he auctioned off the dragon, he’d immediately buy himself a big villa.

It needed to have a martial practice field, a garden, a courtyard, and even a swimming pool.

Maybe that frozen mermaid could still be revived.

“I can.”

Ba Xia nodded, then chose to take on a human form.

In an instant, that immense body vanished. In its place stood a woman in green robes before Chen Fan.

The woman was incredibly tall—easily over 180 cm.

Her belly was slightly swollen, possibly due to pregnancy, and her chest was astonishingly ample.

But wait—wasn’t Ba Xia an egg-laying creature?

Chen Fan remembered—it was oviparous.

What surprised him even more was that after Ba Xia took human form, her appearance was shockingly exquisite, worthy of being called a divine maiden.

Perhaps it was because she was originally an ancient divine beast—she exuded innate divine might.

Though there were no wrinkles on her face, her overall demeanor felt ancient, radiating the aura of bygone ages.

Her long silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

“Her black hair has turned silver…”

“She must have suffered a great depletion of her life force.”

Chen Fan thought silently.

As an ancient divine beast, Ba Xia’s peak power had to be at least at the Divine Realm’s pinnacle.

Even now, in her weakened state, she probably still held extraordinary power.

Chen Fan was a little excited.

This meant he now truly had a transcendent powerhouse at his side.

“Ba Xia, could you move aside a bit? Make some room for me.”

Chen Fan snapped back to reality and spoke to Ba Xia.

He was planning to take out the dragon corpse. Even if he meant to auction it off, the dragon pearl definitely had to be extracted.

Dragon pearls contained immense, refined energy.

This kind of treasure—he’d definitely use it to boost his strength.

Moreover, Chen Fan had kept the five largest magic cores, planning to try fusing them together later.

He wanted to see what kind of good things might come out of it.

“Boom…”

After Ba Xia stepped aside, Chen Fan directly summoned the dragon corpse from his storage ring.

The massive body hit the ground, shaking the surrounding floor violently.
