Rise Of Void Dragons - Chapter 22

“Yes Elder Chen, Please tell the second method.”

“Mhm” Elder Chen nodded his head and then turned towards Wang Ming who had just recovered from his internal struggle, “Little Ming, are you ready to listen to the next method?”

“Yes,” Wang Ming nodded his head without any expressions. It’s not like he can still kill himself to treat someone else while the other party is not willing for it.

Wouldn’t his life be wasted, then?

“The second method to treat Princess Jinying is to let her and Little Ming get married.” Elder Chen said solemnly.

“…”

This simple sentence from him bombarded the minds and bodies of several elders present in the room.

But the most affected were Ning Qiang and Want Ming.

Ning Qiang’s tense and serious expression from earlier changed to a shocked yet incomprehensible expression.

Hmm? Did I hear wrong?

What did Elder Chen say?

I am getting old?

On the other hand, there was no expression on Want Ming’s face. His face expressionless and calm, yet his mind was in complete turmoil.

Damn! Where’s the almanac? Let me see my today’s status.

Why the heck is everything going on like a rollercoaster ride? First, dragons standing in front of me, then I became a dragon myself and even my ancestors were proved to be a dragon, but again, everything changed and suddenly I was asked for my life and my world view changed.

But heck! Now I am asked to get married to a dragon princess. Is this a fairy tale?

The more he thought about it, the more his sense of the world became twisted. He really can’t comprehend everything that was happening. What’s the relation of his marriage and disease of the princess?

In his life till now, he was never this confused. Not even when he came out unscathed after a truck hit.

Elder Chen chuckled, “Don’t take me wrong. This really is a requirement for the treatment process. Let me first explain and then you can decide whether I am wrong or right.”

“Mhmm,” Ning Qiang and Want Ming both nodded at the same time. They need to know why this High Preist was telling such illogical stuff.

“It’s like this, after eating the core of the Dragon God Fruit, Little Ming’s soul is being nurtured by the wisp of Dragon God’s spirit stored in the fruit. So his soul is really good medicine for us dragons. But, since his highness didn’t choose the first option, there’s only one way left to treat the princess. And that’s by using soul nurturing.”

“Soul Nurturing? High Priest, you mean” An elder amongst the crowd spoke but his voice shuddered in disbelief.

“You got it right, Elder Guo,” The High Priest chuckled again, “I am talking about the method to nurture the soul of a person by mixing it as one with the soul of another person We will need to mix the souls of the princess and Little Ming to treat her spirit wounds.”

“But isn’t this method quite risky?” Another elder chirped in.

Everyone knows how risky it is to take the soul out of one’s body, much less mixing it together with another person for a period of time. It was like committing suicide! If the other person wants they can easily kill the soul of the patient and consume it as a nutrient.

How can the High Priest suggest such a method? How can they hand over the soul of their princess to another person? And that to a complete stranger? What if he harms her?

“I know, it’s indeed quite risky. But our Ning clan found a method to increase its success rate by 20%” Elder Chen replied proudly, before turning towards Ning Qiang.

“Increase in success rate by 20%?!” An uproar broke out in the room.

In this ancient, long-forgotten method, an increase of 5% can already be considered heaven-defying. But the Ning Clan increased the rate of success by frigging 20%! Wasn’t this already heaven destroying?

Ning Qiang nodded his head in acceptance when he saw Elder Chen facing him. While looking for methods to treat his daughter, he read many formulas and manuals. Thus his knowledge base increased tremendously within this period of time, helping him to increase the success rate of this ancient formula by 20%.

“May I know what’s the trick to increase the rate of success?” Elders who were getting super excited asked out.

“It’s the soul acceptance of Spiritual Partners.” Without hiding anything from his own people, Ning Qiang answered.

“Oh I see. Then it’s really necessary for Princess Jinying to get married with this brat.” The elder who asked the question previously paused for a few seconds, thinking and then nodded.

“So…Little Ming and Dragon King Ning, are you two accepting this method? I’ll say in prior, I don’t have any other methods left.” Elder Chen looked at both Wang Ming and Ning Qiang.
