The Ultimate System · 第820章 请继续你的表演
Suddenly, heaven and earth fell silent.
Chick tilted its head, staring at the Dragon Ancestor God before it, while the Dragon Ancestor God's indifferent expression now showed great disturbance.
Lin Fan watched the scene before him, feeling quite confident that this chick was indeed the offspring of the Dragon Ancestor God.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
Chick let out a low cry, turned sideways, and gave Lin Fan a meaningful look, making it clear that the Dragon Ancestor God was its father.
Lin Fan's heart nearly leaped out of his chest; if this were true, they would be rich. He then winked.
Since it was confirmed, why not seize the moment and cling tightly to this powerful figure?
Chick nodded silently and even shot Lin Fan a glance.
"Don't worry, big bro. With me on the case, it's a sure thing."
Lin Fan was full of confidence in Chick's look. Although Chick wasn't much, after his training, its skill at latching onto powerful figures was solid.
In an instant, the atmosphere around them changed.
Chick screeched, and its demeanor shifted abruptly.
Its chicken eyes, though small, underwent a tremendous change in that brief moment.
Excitement, disbelief, shock, joy...
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
Seeing the Dragon Ancestor God before it, Chick suddenly spread its wings, as if spotting something incredible, and its short legs moved instantly, lunging toward the Dragon Ancestor God.
Suddenly, Chick tightly hugged the Dragon Ancestor God's thigh, rubbing its chicken head against it as if filled with nostalgia.
"Cock-a-doodle..."
Though Chick couldn't speak yet, its cry was unmistakable.
"Dad..."
The Dragon Ancestor God was now completely dumbfounded.
His majestic eyes stared fixedly at Chick, as if confirming something.
The Dragon Ancestor God was certain that the bloodline of this creature before him was remarkably close to his own.
At that moment, Lin Fan stepped forward, raised a finger slightly, and said with astonishment, "Could it be that you are Chick's father?"
Instantly, the surrounding dragon clan members were all shocked.
Especially the older generation of dragons, whose hearts churned with turmoil, showing utter disbelief.
They knew that the Dragon Ancestor God had once had a relationship with the Phoenix Clan, but that was a very, very long time ago.
Now, seeing this chick, they could also sense the dragon bloodline within it, and even a part of the phoenix bloodline.
What they couldn't understand was how the offspring of the Dragon Ancestor God and the Phoenix Clan could turn out like this.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a slight unease.
The Dragon Ancestor God seemed too calm.
If Chick were truly the Dragon Ancestor God's descendant, meeting now should be an emotional reunion. How could there be no reaction at all? Could something be wrong?
Moreover, Chick's expression was spot-on, perfectly mimicking a child who had been alone and miserable for years, finally finding a relative.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
Chick was now displeased. It had been clinging to the thigh for so long, yet this guy showed no response at all, which seemed unscientific to Chick.
Then it let out a particularly pitiful screech, like a homeless child, as miserable as could be.
"Caw!"
Just then, the distant sky suddenly flushed crimson. Within that redness, a phoenix spread its wings and flew over, appearing before the Dragon Ancestor God in an instant.
Lin Fan was startled when he saw the phoenix—wasn't this the same phoenix he had seen in the Xuanhuang Realm?
Now, the phoenix transformed into a human form, draped in a red phoenix robe. Her lively eyes, upon seeing Chick, flowed with boundless affection.
Noble, elegant, majestic—all these auras instantly shifted into deep maternal love.
In an instant, the woman embraced Chick, her voice soft and filled with infinite longing, "My child..."
Chick, who had been performing for Lin Fan, was stunned. It let go of the Dragon Ancestor God's thigh and stared blankly at the woman, not even reacting when she held it in her arms.
"My child..."
Just those two words made Chick burst into tears. It spread its wings, buried itself in her arms, and wailed loudly.
"Don't cry, don't cry. It's Mother's fault for letting you suffer so much outside." Tears streamed from the woman's eyes, as if she too were stirred by painful memories.
The surrounding dragon clan members exchanged glances, knowing that something big was about to happen.
The Dragon Ancestor God looked around, frowned, and said, "Let's talk about this back home, back home."
The woman held Chick, her heart churning, then glared at him. "Talk back home? Let's settle this now."
"Zi Feng..." The Dragon Ancestor God's heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble.
"Huang Wusheng, what were you doing just now? Your son was hugging you, and you showed no emotion. Are you ashamed of him?" Zi Feng scolded.
"Zi Feng, I..."
"Don't speak. What did you say ten thousand years ago, and what do you say now? If you truly don't want to see him, then let me leave, and I'll live with my son." Zi Feng's expression was displeased.
Ten thousand years ago, because she was with him, she was suppressed by the dragon clan. Later, Huang Wusheng became the Dragon Ancestor God, reaching the pinnacle, and only then did he want to bring Zi Feng back.
But to Zi Feng, driving her out when it suited him and bringing her back when it suited him—what did he take her and her son for?
"I'll ask you just one thing: do you acknowledge him or not?" Zi Feng asked.
The Dragon Ancestor God looked at Chick, then at his fellow clansmen, and finally nodded.
"I acknowledge him, I do. Can we talk slowly back home?" The Dragon Ancestor God was now on the verge of exploding. The moment he first saw Chick, he knew it was his son.
But its appearance was something he couldn't accept for the time being. If not for the blood relation, he wouldn't have believed that a creature looking like this could be his son.
At this moment, Lin Fan stood aside quietly watching, finding the turn of events rather rapid.
He hadn't expected Chick's mother to show up, and it seemed the Dragon Ancestor God was somewhat henpecked.
Lin Fan didn't want to pry into the messy history between Chick's parents, but based on what he had just heard, he had a rough idea.
The Dragon Ancestor God hadn't reached such a high status back then, so he couldn't make his own life choices. Eventually, Zi Feng couldn't bear it and left the upper realm for the lower realm.
...
To Lin Fan, this clichéd drama was utterly entertaining.
At this moment, Lin Fan had only one thought in mind, and that was...
Chick, please continue your performance.
