Rise Of Void Dragons - Chapter 23

‘No’

Wang Ming howled internally and was about to speak out and deny resolutely.

However, midway through the process, he heard Ning Qiang’s word.

“I believe Elder Chen. But, isn’t the minimum requirement for soul nourishment, a cultivation base of Spirit Fusion Low?”

“Yes, it is” Elder Chen replied affirmatively, accepting the statement said by Ning Qiang.

“But.. isn’t this boy too weak?”

“Oh you are talking about this?” As if coming to a realisation, Elder Chen patted his forehead and then continued, “Yes, he’s indeed far too weak. But we can’t do anything about it. Princess Jinying doesn’t have much time left with her and if we don’t even try doing this, then nothing else can be done. Maybe heavens take pity and help Little Ming to reach a cultivation level of Spirit Fusion Low before her time is over.”

Ning Qiang’s face paled and he remembered the crux of this matter, Time!

His daughter is left with just more than 2 years. And now, after losing the Dragon God Fruit, there’s nothing more he can do.

But, still reaching a level of Spirit Fusion Low in just two years is like trying to cut through a mountain single-handedly.

“I know what you are thinking. But, can you do anything better than hoping for a miracle to happen? So, it’s better to prepare something and then hope for miraculous help. Even the heavens only help those who try.” Elder Chen said, sighing.

There wasn’t much he could do after the loss of the Dragon God Fruit. These two methods were already his limit. Now it was up to Ning Qiang, what method to choose.

“Ok, I agree for the marriage of my daughter and this boy,” Ning Qiang gritted his teeth and made his decision hastily.

Wang Ming, who was hoping for Ning Qiang to reject the proposal first, was stumped by the sudden change of events.

Fuck! What’s this? How can you sell your daughter to anyone so fast?

“No, I refuse. Why do I need to get married? Just kill me if you want!” Wang Ming didn’t waste much time and rejected it firmly.

If he marries someone else, wouldn’t it be betraying Qiqi?

I’ll rather die than betray her. Wang Ming made a firm decision.

“No?” Everyone in the room felt like a bolt of thunder passed through their body.

Can anyone reject being the son in law of the Ning clan?

“Yes, I reject this proposal. Just take my blood and soul after killing me if you want to treat your princess.” Thinking that no one believed him, Wang Ming declared again.

He even looked into the eyes of everyone, showing his confidence, in case they think that he is kidding.

At last, it was his fault to eat the Dragon Fruit from that shady seller. If not, they can still use it to save their princess.

“Little Ming, a king doesn’t go back on their words. Since King Ning said that he won’t kill you, then he won’t kill you even if his own daughter dies.” Elder Chen spoke slowly to let him understand each and every word.

“Uh” Want Ming paused for a while but then he was at a loss of words.

Are there any other kings like that? Rather letting their children die, than going back on their words and taking the life of an innocent?

Not knowing what to do he gritted his teeth and said, “Explain to me, the other method. Maybe I can help. But I won’t marry anyone.”

Even though everything was said in front of him, he barely understood a few words.

It was already a miracle that he adapted and quickly accepted the fact that he was a dragon, now.

“Ok,” knowing it’ll be hard for the other party to understand, he explained it again, slowly.

“You’ll have to use a unique method, the Soul Nourishment method to nourish the soul of the princess once you have cultivated your own power till the level of Spirit Fusion Low.”

“Just this? But, why do I need to get married?” Still not completely understanding, yet after getting a part of it, he still didn’t find anything that’ll require him to get married to the princess.

“It’s like this, for the soul nourishment method, both the individuals have to join their souls into one and then, through the excess energy of one, the other’s soul will get healed. But even after the process of healing is over and their souls get separated, their senses will still be linked forever. Letting one feel and understand what the other feels and thinks even if they are in another world.”

“Little Ming, do you think that after this process, they’ll be able to live separately?” Elder Chen asked as he chuckled lightly, looking at the shocked expression on Wang Ming’s face.

Wang Ming shook his head in denial, subconsciously.

Is this still following laws of the world?!

“However, this reason isn’t the reason alone, for you two to get married. For this process of Soul Nourishment to occur, both of the parties should be able to believe each other unconditionally, they should be able to hand over their own life to the other, without any hesitation. In our Dragon terms, it’s called soul acceptance of Spiritual Partners. And in your oh sorry, in normal human terms it’s called loving each other unconditionally.”

“Do you think that this process is possible if you aren’t in love? And if you are in love, what’s hesitation in marriage?” Elder Chen with his explanation and knowledge stumped him again.

“I know what you mean.” Wang Ming nodded his head, getting into deep thought.
