The Miracle Brought Forth by Three Sun Gods

The panel appeared instantly: —————— [Dongjun Bracelet] [Rank: Dragon] [Ability: When equipped, forms an energy cloud garment upon being attacked to protect the wearer. Additionally, consumes 1 point of energy daily to gently stimulate a wearer possessing the Dongjun bloodline, awakening their bloodline abilities.] [Energy: 1,000,000 / 1,000,000] [Recovery Rate: Naturally recovers 10 energy points per day.] [Summary: A bauble crafted casually by that esteemed lady.] —————— After reading the attributes, a question mark popped up in Yu Xian's head. He immediately took out the other bracelet and used Appraisal once more. —————— [Xihe Bracelet] [Rank: Dragon] [Ability: When equipped, forms an energy sun ring upon being attacked to protect the wearer. Additionally, consumes 1 point of energy daily to gently stimulate a wearer possessing the Xihe bloodline, awakening their bloodline abilities.] [Energy: 1,000,000 / 1,000,000] [Recovery Rate: Naturally recovers 10 energy points per day.] [Summary: A bauble crafted casually by that esteemed lady.] —————— His Super Brain was not just for show. He instantly deduced that these two bracelets were meant for Su Zhuo and Nora, one each. In other words, both Su Zhuo and Nora still possessed dormant bloodlines that had yet to be awakened. "Auntie, is the Dongjun Bracelet for my aunt or for Nora?" Yu Xian asked Zhenwo Changjing directly. Zhenwo Changjing replied, "The Dongjun Bracelet was crafted for your aunt. Her body harbors the dormant bloodline of Dongjun. After wearing the bracelet, she will be able to awaken the bloodline's power within a year." To a powerhouse of her caliber, this world held no secrets. One could even say that toward everything in this world, she existed in a state of limited omniscience. "Then do I have the dormant bloodline of Dongjun in me too?" Yu Xian looked at her and pressed immediately. His mother was Su Zhuo's elder sister by blood. Reason dictated that if Su Zhuo possessed the Dongjun bloodline, it was impossible for him not to. "You did originally, but no longer," Zhenwo Changjing replied. Yu Xian reacted swiftly, immediately guessing, "Does it have to do with me being a vampire?" "Your innate talent, Light Eater, is actually a mutation produced when your mutated vampire lineage absorbed the Flame Emperor bloodline, the Dongjun bloodline, and the Xihe bloodline. Such beneficial mutations with an exceedingly low probability are exceedingly precious," Zhenwo Changjing said with a nod. In fact, most people across the country possessed dormant bloodlines; it was nothing rare. What was truly rare was that the Flame Emperor bloodline in Yu Xian's body held authority over fire and the sun, the Dongjun bloodline possessed the authority of a sun god, and the Xihe bloodline in Nora's blood likewise held the authority of a sun god. Only when three sun gods came together did they miraculously give rise to the Light Eater talent. In truth, Nora's Daywalker talent had also mutated because her mother harbored the dormant Xihe bloodline and she herself was an extraordinarily rare live-born vampire. And her mutated lineage had driven Yu Xian to mutate even further—a beneficial mutation against minuscule odds. Without a doubt, no ability ever arose out of nowhere; it was simply that most people lacked the means to investigate and uncover the truth. If Yu Xian had not encountered Zhenwo Changjing, it likely would have taken a very, very long time before he learned where his abilities actually came from. "Auntie, could our family's familial ALS be related to the Flame Emperor bloodline?" Thinking from the Flame Emperor bloodline to his and his father's condition, Yu Xian could not help asking. Since the Dongjun bloodline came from his mother, the Flame Emperor bloodline surely came from his father. The more he thought about it, the more he felt their illness might be linked to the bloodline. However, Zhenwo Changjing answered, "There is no connection between the two. Your condition is merely familial ALS, unrelated to any transcendent bloodline." "..." Yu Xian was struck speechless. Fine, it seemed he had overthought things. Next, he quietly inspected the necklaces and earrings. However, they had no special functions, simply boosting the wearer's defensive capabilities further. Once this entire set was equipped, as long as no monster above Dragon-rank appeared on Earth, the wearer could be considered extraordinarily safe. Having good things, naturally he wanted to deliver them to both of them right away to avoid complications from delay. What if an accident happened just because he dragged his feet for a moment? If anything really went wrong, he would regret it to death and never be able to forgive himself. Therefore, after thanking Zhenwo Changjing, he immediately teleported to the front gates of PaleoTech and pulled out his phone to contact Su Zhuo. Then an idea struck him, and he took a detour to Bamboo City, packed up a bowl of noodles, and returned to Tianjing City. When he returned, Su Zhuo happened to be coming downstairs. Su Zhuo then led him back into the company building and into her office. After both sat down, Yu Xian set the packed noodles in front of Su Zhuo and smiled. "Aunt, you definitely haven't eaten yet, right? Give this a try—Bamboo City's specialty, old chicken broth bamboo-scented noodles." "Xiao Xian, what about you? Have you eaten?" Before she was controlled by the Namo race, Su Zhuo had been all alone in Tianjing City for a long time. This kind of care from family touched and delighted her. She smiled as she opened the takeout container and asked. With his hands behind his back, Yu Xian quietly produced the ring, bracelet, necklace, and earrings while answering, "I ate already. Grilled skewers at Big Mouth Barbecue. That place is really good. You should come try it next time, Aunt." "All right. Once I finish getting everything sorted out, I'm definitely taking a proper vacation, and we'll go together then," Su Zhuo agreed with a nod. Then Yu Xian stood up with a mysterious smile. "Aunt, give me your right hand." "What for?" Su Zhuo set down her chopsticks and curiously held out her hand. Yu Xian smiled and slipped the Dongjun Bracelet onto Su Zhuo's wrist, then took out the ring and placed it on her ring finger. In Silver City's custom, the left ring finger on a woman symbolized marriage, while the right ring finger warded off evil. He hoped his aunt would never face danger again, which was why he placed the ring on her right ring finger. Under Su Zhuo's surprised and delighted gaze, he flashed behind her, carefully fastened the necklace for her, then removed the earrings she was originally wearing and put on the new ones. "This is a set of transcendent gear. It can withstand attacks below Dragon-rank. For any attack not exceeding Dragon-rank, it would take at least five million strikes to harm the wearer. Do you like it, Aunt?" Yu Xian flashed back to his seat and smiled at the touched Su Zhuo. Su Zhuo had initially thought they were just ordinary pieces of jewelry. Only after hearing Yu Xian's explanation did she realize just how precious these ornaments were. She hurriedly moved to take them off, saying, "No, this is far too valuable. Working in Qilin is much more dangerous for you than it is for me. You should be the one wearing these things." "Aunt, don't! Look, I have my own." Yu Xian quickly stopped her, simultaneously manifesting the Dragon Shield. Instantly, a giant red dragon made of countless scales coiled around Yu Xian. Seeing the colossal dragon, Su Zhuo immediately felt a soul-deep shiver. Only at this moment did she truly realize Yu Xian had grown up. His abilities far exceeded her imagination. He was no longer the little kid who needed her protection, but a towering tree capable of sheltering his family from the wind and rain. "All right, Aunt, I still have things to do, so I'll be off." Fearing Su Zhuo would continue to refuse, Yu Xian didn't wait for her to react and vanished instantly the next moment. In the blink of an eye, he appeared outside Nora's house and sent her a text message, asking her to come out and meet. Three minutes later, the front door opened. Nora walked out wearing a white sleeveless dress. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder—or rather, in the lover's eye, even an ordinary woman looks like Xi Shi. But what if she was already Xi Shi? In her lover's eyes, she was practically an immortal fairy. Under the bright moonlight, Nora's fair skin gave off a hazy halo, the veins beneath her skin faintly visible. Her hair, originally golden, looked almost silver beneath the moon. Yu Xian had never seen this side of Nora before. It was like seeing a celestial maiden from Guanghan Palace descend to the mortal realm; even his Super Brain went on strike. Seeing Yu Xian staring blankly at her, Nora shyly lowered her head. That flash of bashfulness directly locked Yu Xian down for a solid minute, and Nora, feeling his gaze, grew shy all over again, which locked Yu Xian down for another full minute... After a good while, the front door quietly cracked open again. A woman in a suit poked her head out with an air of pure sneakiness to check on the situation, instantly shattering the romantic atmosphere. Yu Xian withdrew his gaze. Nora quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Did you need me for something?" "Do you want to go to Ice City?" Looking at Nora right in front of him, an inexplicable urge welled up in Yu Xian's heart, and he asked in a soft whisper.
