Suddenly, the world fell silent.
The chick tilted its head, staring at the Dragon Ancestor God before it. The Dragon Ancestor, usually so composed, now showed immense surprise in his expression.
Lin Fan observed the scene, feeling a surge of confidence. He was now certain—the chick must be the descendant of the Dragon Ancestor God.
“Ooooo-kaaa!”
The chick let out a low crow, turned its body slightly, and gave Lin Fan a meaningful glance. The message was clear: *This Dragon Ancestor is my father.*
Lin Fan’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest. If that were truly the case, he might just strike it rich. He winked subtly, already plotting his next move.
Now that it was confirmed, what else could he do but rush forward and cling tightly to those powerful legs?
The chick nodded silently and gave Lin Fan a knowing look.
*”Bro, don’t worry. When I, the mighty chick, step in, it’s as solid as it gets.”*
Lin Fan felt reassured by the chick’s expression. Although the chick wasn’t much to look at, after Lin Fan’s careful training, it had mastered the art of currying favor—this was going to work.
In an instant, the atmosphere shifted.
The chick let out a sharp cry, and its entire demeanor changed.
Those small eyes, though tiny, transformed dramatically in that brief moment.
Emotions surged—excitement, disbelief, shock, joy…
“Ooooo-kaaa!”
Suddenly, the chick spread its wings and, as if it had seen something incredible, dashed forward on its short legs and leaped toward the Dragon Ancestor God.
In a flash, the chick tightly embraced the Dragon Ancestor’s leg, rubbing its head affectionately against it, as if overwhelmed with nostalgia.
“Ooooo…”
Though the chick couldn’t speak, its cry carried a clear message:
*”Dad…”*
The Dragon Ancestor was completely stunned.
His majestic eyes locked onto the chick, as if trying to confirm something.
The Dragon Ancestor was certain—the life before him carried a bloodline nearly identical to his own.
At that moment, Lin Fan stepped forward, slightly raising his finger, his face filled with shock. “Could it be… you are the chick’s father?”
In an instant, shock rippled through the assembled dragon clan.
The elders, in particular, were shaken to their core, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
They knew the Dragon Ancestor had once had a relationship with the Phoenix Clan, but that was ages ago.
Now, seeing the chick, they could feel the dragon blood within it—and even a trace of phoenix blood.
But what puzzled them was—how could the offspring of the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Clan look like *this?*
Lin Fan, watching the scene unfold, felt a strange unease.
The Dragon Ancestor was being *too* calm.
If this truly was his long-lost child, wouldn’t he be overwhelmed with emotion? Could this be a mistake?
Meanwhile, the chick’s expression was spot-on—like a long-lost child who had finally found his family.
“Ooooo-kaaa!”
The chick was growing impatient now. It had been clinging to those powerful legs for so long, yet the Dragon Ancestor hadn’t reacted at all. That was unnatural, even suspicious.
It cried out again, this time with a pitiful tone, like a lost child abandoned in the world—so heartbreaking it was hard to bear.
“Screeeech!”
At that moment, the distant sky turned crimson. From the red glow, a phoenix soared forward, arriving in an instant before the Dragon Ancestor.
Lin Fan’s heart jolted. This was the same phoenix he had seen in the Xuan Huang Realm.
In a flash, the phoenix transformed into a human figure, draped in a red phoenix robe. Her beautiful eyes, upon landing on the chick, overflowed with infinite tenderness.
Her aura—noble, elegant, and commanding—shifted instantly into one of deep maternal love.
In a blink, the chick was in her arms. Her voice was soft, filled with longing. “My child…”
The chick, who had been acting so dramatically with Lin Fan moments ago, froze. It loosened its grip on the Dragon Ancestor’s leg and stared blankly at the woman. Even as she embraced it, it remained dazed.
“My child…”
Those two words shattered the chick’s composure. It burst into tears, flapping its wings and burying itself in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
“There, there… it’s not your fault. It was my mistake. I shouldn’t have let you suffer so much out there.” Tears streamed from the woman’s eyes, as if painful memories had been awakened.
The surrounding dragon clan members exchanged glances. They sensed something major was about to unfold.
The Dragon Ancestor frowned at the scene. “Let’s go back and talk about this.”
The woman held the chick tightly, her emotions in turmoil. She shot the Dragon Ancestor a sharp glare. “Talk? We’ll settle this now.”
“Zi Feng…” The Dragon Ancestor’s heart sank. A bad feeling crept over him.
“Huang Wusheng, what were you doing just now? Our son was hugging you, and you didn’t even react. Do you despise him?” Zi Feng scolded angrily.
“Zi Feng, I…”
“Save it. Ten thousand years ago, you said one thing, and now you say another. If you truly don’t want to see him, let me leave. I’ll raise our son on my own.” Her expression darkened.
Ten thousand years ago, she had been cast out due to pressure from the dragon clan. Later, when Huang Wusheng became the Dragon Ancestor and reached the peak of power, he tried to bring her back.
But to Zi Feng, it was unbearable—being cast out when convenient, and summoned back when needed. What did that make her and their child?
“I’ll ask you one thing—do you accept him?” Zi Feng demanded.
The Dragon Ancestor looked at the chick, then at his kin around him. Finally, he nodded.
“Yes. I accept him. Can we go back and talk about this calmly?” The Dragon Ancestor was nearly at his breaking point. The moment he saw the chick, he had known the truth—it was his son.
But the chick’s appearance was hard to accept. If not for the unmistakable blood connection, he would never have believed this strange creature could be his offspring.
Lin Fan stood quietly to the side, watching the rapid developments unfold.
He hadn’t expected the chick’s mother to show up, nor had he expected the Dragon Ancestor to seem so cowed by his wife.
As for the messy family drama between the chick’s parents, Lin Fan had no interest in prying. But from what he had overheard, he now understood the situation.
Before Huang Wusheng had risen to his current status, he had been unable to control his own fate. Zi Feng, unable to endure that life any longer, had left the upper realm and descended to the lower world.
…
To Lin Fan, this ridiculous drama was nothing short of hilarious.
At this moment, only one thought echoed in his mind:
*Keep going, Chick. Keep acting.*
