My Dad Is the Galaxy’s Prince Charming - chapter 169-bloodling-from-elsewhere
Chapter 169: Bloodling from Elsewhere
The corners of Yao Si’s lips twitched. Turning to a certain nanny dad,
she asked stiffly, “Would you believe it if… I told you he wasn’t
referring to me?
“…” Mu Xuan.
“Ahem, who could that possibly be? Go straight to the point.” Yao Si
coughed, diverting the topic of the conversation. “Why exactly did you
harvest the king beast? When you said you wanted to go back, what did you
mean by that?”
Lin Long pouted as he slumped back lifelessly. Without hiding anything,
he began to explain in a low voice. “Where else could I go back to? My
home! Back to my universe. Since I can’t find my contractor here,
doesn’t it mean that she’s elsewhere?”
“Another universe!” Even though Yao Si had held her suspicions, she
hadn’t expected him to really be from another world.
“Heh! You’re speaking as though it wasn’t where you came from.”
He rolled his eyes. “I understand if you refuse to return since you
found your contractor, but why the f*ck are you stopping me? Didn’t I
just borrow your contractor for a while? Did she loose a strand of hair
or some fur? Was there a need to take revenge against me? Are you trying
to kill us single dogs?”
“What do you mean?” Yao Si’s face was full of confusion. “What do
you mean by Mu Xuan refusing to return?”
“Don’t all the bloodlings that have found their contractor have no
intention of going back?” His voice increased in volume, but when he
turned around, he was startled by confusion written all over both their
faces. “Wait a minute! Don’t you guys know that the real bloodlings
originate from another universe? Aren’t you a pure breed?”
“I was originally a fourth generation bloodling,” Mu Xuan replied
truthfully when he sensed that something was wrong.
“You’re an earthling!” Lin Long jumped, staring at Mu Xuan in
disbelief. “How can that be? Your aura… is clearly that of a pure
bloodling! How could you be an earthling converted by the old man, and a
f*cking fourth generation at that! Where did your perverted abilities
come from?”
“I awakened the ancestral bloodline.” Mu Xuan frowned, pulling Yao Si
behind him subconsciously. He had to cherish the young cub and avoid
doing anything stupid!
“Nonsense! What f*cking ancestral bloodline!” Lin Long exclaimed in
agitation and began pacing about in the room. “Did I not know your
ancestor? That old man was a complete weakling that was constantly
wreaking havoc for me to clean up! You’re trying to tell me you used
his ability to win against me? That’s nonsense!” The memory of the
one sided beating from three days ago brought an ache to his bones.
“How can you not be a pure breed?”
“What does pure breed mean?”
“You really aren’t?” Lin Long was clearly in shock, disbelief
clouding his vision. Sucking in a deep breath, he started to explain
everything in detail.
There were countless universes present at one time, and the universe he
came from only had one race—bloodlings. The pure breeds weren’t like
the various races in the Galaxy who needed reproduction or an
inheritance. They were produced naturally by their universe.
They were similar to the present day bloodlings in terms of their
immortality, but they didn’t possess single or double abilities like
the average bloodlings. Instead, they were all full series bloodlings
just like Lin Long. Simply put, that universe had an entire nest of
ancestors.
Yao Si felt as though she had become a cabbage.
-_-|||
The only difference between the two types of bloodlings was that the ones
on another universe didn’t possess bloodline suppression among
themselves. Even though there were still differences between each
individual’s ability, self-healing was possible. In theory, they
embodied the true meaning of an immortal being.
Similar to the bunch on the Red Planet who wrecked their brains trying to
convert a cub for themselves, their people spent their entire lives
trying to find their one true contractor. But they were hit a lot worse
since they had no idea where their contractor could be or who they were.
They could be of any race, and the only way to find them was to locate
them.
It was purely coincidental! If one managed to bump into their contractor,
they’d lose their single status, but if not, they’d continue to bark
by themselves.
Due to their long lifespan, the technology in their universe had reached
an unbelievable state. It was thus commonplace for bloodlings to travel
through the different universes to look for their contractors. Lin Long
and Wang Erma were like that, but even so, the chances of finding their
contractors were akin to locating a needle in a haystack. There was only
the tiniest chance of succeeding.
That explained the common consensus within the race to treat contractors
that had appeared with unbelievable tolerance and to spare no effort in
their protection. It was regardless of how the contractor treated them!
It also explained why even though Lin Long had insulted Yao Si since the
beginning, he had still went through with her requests.
“Why must you find your contractor?” she asked. The bloodlings on the
Red Planet did it due to the bloodline connection they would gain, but it
probably didn’t exist for the contractors, right? There had to be a
reason why they held the contractors in such high regard.
Lin Long paused, then glanced over at her with a surprisingly solemn
expression. She could even catch a glimpse of something sacred there.
“Because the contractors… are the only ones in the world that can
grant us death.”
“…”
What?
(⊙_⊙)
“Only with the contractor’s approval can we conclude the blood
contract.” He raised his fingers toward the marking on her forehead.
“There isn’t an end to our lives, but those that have concluded the
blood contract can pass on with their contractors, entering an eternal
rest. That is the highest form of honor for our people.”
“…” What’s with that ridiculous stipulation? Doesn’t it mean
you spare no effort in search for a contractor ultimately because
you’re seeking death?!
Aren’t you guys too big-hearted? And you call yourselves real
bloodlings? You should be renamed to people that have grown frustrated
with their long life!
There was still a glazed look in Lin Long’s eyes. “The contractor is
the one true partner in our lives. They are a person that cannot be
replaced.”
“…”
Wait a minute! Mu Xuan, why are you nodding? Don’t be influenced by
this maniac!
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Lin Long sighed, sinking back into his lifeless state. He then glared at
Mu Xuan, his gaze full of hatred.
“When I first saw him, I thought he had sealed his memory due to
boredom and so had the misconception that he’s a bastard. After all,
it’s quite a common practice. I was waiting for him to recover so that
I could tap into his ability to open up a portal back. But after I
realized that you were actually his contractor, I continued with my
research on the king beast, hoping its space ability could be used to
open up a universe portal.”
The anger within him thickened as he explained everything. “As a fellow
pure breed, I could forget about how you didn’t help, but how could you
kill my king beast? Do you think it was easy for me to rear that pet? Who
gave you the right to kill it!”
“Are you sure… that’s the correct way for rearing pets?”
Weren’t you rearing pets as big as a planet?
“What was wrong with it?” he as in a rage. “All I did was dig a bit
in a few planets to build the breeding farms! After they started to form,
I didn’t let them roam around the planet but rather sent them over here
to the uninhabited abyss to grow.”
“But you dug… other race’s mother planets.” It isn’t right to
rear your pet on someone else’s planet, right?
“Bullshit!” he exploded. “Those breeding farms have been around for
a few million years, and those races weren’t even around at the time
they were built. How can you blame me when they decide to plant
themselves over my farms?”
“…” F*ck, those breeding farm have been around for such a long
time? He’s the real indigenous race!
“Those lowly races killed off two or three of my galactic beasts that
decided to go for a stroll, but I endured it since I was breeding a ton
of them. But you f*cking killed my king beast this time, and what for?
Who did I offend? Why are you bullying a single dog?”
“…”
So the yearly trips for galactic beasts happened when he let his pets out
for a stroll? Why was the truth so absurd?
Yao Si had the sudden urge to go forth and soothe Lin Long’s ruffled
dog hair.
○| ̄|_
“Heh! If the old man didn’t get into trouble, we would have opened a
portal to another universe together and I might have already found my
contractor. This is all your fault!”
“Old man?” Yao Si was suddenly reminded of the ancestor with the odd
name. “Oh right, aren’t you guys immortal? How did the ancestor…
die?”
