CHAPTER 1298  LIANG QINRU

Eventually, Liang Dishan and Liang Qinru returned to their household.

"What took you so long?!" Liang Xiaosheng yelled at them on sight the moment they returned.

"Grandpa! Please help me! Father has gone crazy! Because of him, my breakthrough was disturbed and I experienced a spiritual energy outburst! My cultivation even dropped all the way to Spiirt Lord because of the outburst!" Liang Qinru immediately began begging for help.

However, to her surprise, Liang Xiaosheng dismissed her complaints and said, "It's just a mere spiritual energy outburst! Your cultivation will eventually recover! However, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime event! Quickly, come with me!"

Liang Qinru couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her grandfather, who treasured her more than even her father and was known to move heaven and earth at her slightest request, was dismissive about the injustice she'd experienced. Seeing how she wasn't moving, Liang Xiaosheng resolved to take matters into his own hands. He firmly seized her arm and proceeded to guide her away.

As they approached the guest room that was occupied by Yuan, Liang Xiaosheng warned her, "When you meet the Dragon Emperor, make sure you don't say or do anything offensive, as that could literally cause the death of our entire family."

As they approached the guest room that was occupied by Yuan, Liang Xiaosheng warned her, "When you meet the Dragon Emperor, make sure you don't say or do anything offensive, as that could literally cause the death of our entire family."

"Is this Dragon Emperor really that important? I can't believe you're going to sell me to him," she sighed with a distressed look on her face.

If her cultivation base hadn't been harmed, she wouldn't have to endure such humiliation. "What the hell are you talking about? Who said anything about selling you?" Liang Xiaosheng frowned.

"Huh? Then why did you force me to come back? And why are you so desperate to let him see me if you're not trying to sell me?"

"You foolish girl! Do you have any idea what kind of power a Dragon Emperor possess? One from the Xi Family, no less! The Dragon Emperor is a benevolent and charitable person, and he agreed to help you improve your bloodline!"

"What? My bloodline?" Liang Qinru's eyes widened with surprise.

"He was originally going to help me, but I requested for him to help you instead. After all, you're the most talented in our family with the brightest future."

"B-But the spiritual energy outburst could've affected my talents!"

"That kind of minor setback will become irrelevant once your bloodline improves! Even if it increases by a single grade, your talents will soar to unimaginable heights— to levels that even if all of your talents are gone, it would still make you far stronger than before."

Liang Qinru swallowed nervously after hearing such words that sounded quite exaggerated.

Upon reaching their destination, Liang Xiaosheng issued one final caution, his voice weighted with concern. "Please, remember not to take any action that might incur his displeasure. If he makes any requests of you, simply acknowledge them with a nod."

He then knocked on the door and announced, "Your Majesty, my granddaughter, Liang Qinru, has arrived. We apologize for the delay. Qinru needed treatment after expericing a spiritual energy outbreak because we disturbed her seclusion to rush her here, and she was in the midst of a breakthrough."

'Spiritual energy outbreak?' Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this unfamiliar term.

He wore his mask and opened the door a moment later. Content © .

'This is the Dragon Emperor…? Why is he wearing a mask?' Liang Qinru wondered to herself.

"Qinru greets Your Majesty," she said as she bowed her head in a respectful manner.

"What happened to you?" Yuan inquired for more information.

"I was in the middle of a breakthrough when my father came to get me. A spiritual energy outburst occurred when I lost my concentration, and I ended up losing more than half of my cultivation base." Liang Qinru explained, hoping to gain some sympathy from him.

"..."

Sure enough, Yuan felt bad for her.

"That is truly an unfortunate incident."

Since it was entirely Liang Dishan and Liang Xiaosheng's fault for rushing her return, Yuan didn't feel guilty about her incident. However, he definitely pitied her.

"Although I cannot return your lost cultivation, I can try to improve your bloodline. What do you say?"

"My cultivation will eventually return, but improving my bloodline is a different story. If you could do such a thing for me, I would be forever grateful to Your Majesty." Liang Qinru raised her head, revealing her face to him.

Yuan's eyes widened when he saw Liang Qinru's face, as she greatly resembled somebody that he knew.

'Dragon Goddess Yeyou?'

Although she looked much younger, Liang Qinru resembled Dragon Goddess Yeyou. Of course, it could be a coincidence.

Yuan contemplated to himself, 'The other Azure Dragon Family possessed the scale of Dragon Goddess Yeyou, which contained a fragment of her memories.'

With this revelation, the notion of a profound connection between the Azure Dragon Family and Dragon Goddess Yeyou seemed increasingly plausible.

"Your Majesty, may I inquire if something is bothering you?" Liang Xiaosheng asked when Yuan suddenly became silent.

Yuan snapped out of his daze and said, "No, I was just thinking about the process."

"Anyways, let's get this started."

"If there's anything you need for the ritual, our family will cover all of it." Liang Xiaosheng then said.

"Ritual? There's no need for a ritual." Yuan shook his head.

"Eh? Then how are you going to improve her bloodline?" Liang Xiaosheng was quite puzzled, as it usually required a ritual to improve one's bloodline.

"You'll see in just a moment," Yuan gestured for them to enter the room behind him.

Once they were all inside the room and closed it, Yuan picked up an empty cup from the table and began filling it with his blood.

The grandfather and granddaughter duo watched with wide eyes.

When the cup was nearly filled to the brim with his blood, Yuan offered it to Liang Qinru, who had a baffled look on her face.

Noticing her hesitation, Yuan spoke with a chuckle, "Don't worry, the cup is unused and clean."
