Chapter Nineteen: Abao Is Born and Bestowed the Cherished Nickname "Baby Dragon"

Page 1/3

Maple Yun was somewhat intrigued by Elex’s necromancy. Necromancy, long lost among humans and despised by them, was an extremely malevolent magic capable of transforming people into undead beings, neither fully human nor ghost. Meanwhile, Bai Yue had already entered the first stage of the first level in the Tower of Eternity and begun her trials. The first level was simple; with her seventh-rank power, Bai Yue cleared it entirely within three hours.

At the seventh level of the Tower of Eternity, the summit of the tower, lay a vast hall. In the center of the floor was a gigantic golden hexagram, from which a faint golden mist rose. At the heart of the hexagram stood an enormous coffin, encrusted with various magical crystals, elixirs, and gemstones. On either side of this golden coffin were two figures, using a golden crown as a table to play cards.

On the left was Maple Yun, clad in a black robe. On the right was not exactly a person, but a grayish-white soul. This figure bore a handsome countenance, dressed in a simple gray robe, with white hair and blue eyes, intently gazing at the playing cards in his hands. Undoubtedly, this golden coffin belonged to Elex. Such a splendid coffin had now become a mere card table for the two of them.

“Senior, your niece is quite fast; she’s already passed the first trial,” Elex said lightly.

“My niece should naturally be a prodigy,” Maple Yun replied, then played three cards.

The venerable progenitor of the demon clan, the very scourge of the undead, was here playing cards! But life was long, and Maple Yun had no choice but to find some amusement to while away the hours. She had brought over many pastimes from her previous life—playing cards, Monopoly, mahjong...

“Make the upcoming trials a bit harder for my niece; don’t let her pass too easily.”

“Of course,” Elex responded.

Bai Yue: ???

During these brief three hours, Maple Yun and Elex enjoyed a pleasant conversation. Elex taught her his necromantic magic, while Maple Yun shared her insights on the laws of light with him. Soon, Maple Yun played her last card.

“This round’s over; you lost again.”

Elex examined his hand repeatedly. “Sigh? How did I lose again?”

It was already his third defeat.

Maple Yun rose. “It’s getting late; I should be going. Also, are you sure you don’t want me to help you reconstruct your physical body?”

Elex shook his head gently. “Thank you, Senior, but I feel fine as I am. Rebuilding my body can wait.”

According to the information Maple Yun revealed, the once-mighty Radiant Church, which had been his enemy, had long since fallen. Over six thousand years had passed since that glorious era. He no longer belonged to this age; his sole focus now was to nurture Bai Yue as his successor.

Maple Yun nodded slightly, choosing to respect Elex’s wishes. In the next moment, she vanished from the spot.

The Tower of Eternity was an excellent place for real combat training. Elex intended not just to help Bai Yue but to train several protégés—Abao, Leng Xiao, Mendi, Long Haochen... Maple Yun planned to send them all here for rigorous training.

At the first level of the Tower of Eternity, just as Bai Yue was about to enter the second level, she heard Maple Yun’s voice transmit into her mind.

“Yue’er, it’s late. We should leave now.”

Bai Yue nodded and immediately dashed toward the exit. “Alright, Aunt, I’m coming right away.”

Soon, the two returned to the heart of the Demon Capital. The Tower of Eternity, now a divine artifact, became Bai Yue’s equipment. Maple Yun gained much as well, acquiring the necromantic magic she desired.

Upon their arrival at Bai Yue’s chamber, a maid hurried forward respectfully.

“Progenitor, Your Highness, the Demon Queen has gone into labor. The Second Prince is expected to be born tonight. His Majesty requests your presence.”

Bai Yue’s footsteps halted instantly. She nodded. “Understood. We’ll be there immediately.”

A joyous occasion indeed—truly double blessings tonight!

“I wonder if it will be a brother or sister,” Bai Yue said excitedly.

“Let’s go and see,” Maple Yun said, taking Bai Yue’s hand and striding swiftly toward the Demon Emperor’s chamber.

In the Demon Emperor’s bedchamber, thanks to the careful preparations by Feng Xiu and Bai Lingxuan, the birth went smoothly. Bai Lingxuan’s cultivation had reached the first level of the ninth rank, so childbirth brought no side effects or pain. Almost immediately after giving birth, she was able to walk around.

Without a doubt, the child was a boy.

Bai Yue looked curiously at the infant cradled in Bai Lingxuan’s arms. “So it’s a little brother. Mother, may I hold him?”

Carefully, Bai Yue lifted the baby. Like her, the infant bore a sun-shaped demonic mark on his forehead. Unlike Bai Yue, who was a human-demon hybrid, this child was a pure-blooded Transcendent Demon Dragon.

This baby boy’s bloodline of the Transcendent Demon Dragon had completely consumed his human bloodline, leaving him with pure Transcendent Demon Dragon heritage.

The baby was adorable, irresistibly cute, bearing a strong resemblance to Feng Xiu—especially those jet-black eyes, as dark as ink. Father and son seemed cast from the same mold.

So adorable!

Bai Yue pinched the baby’s cheek and then smiled mischievously. This little brother might just become a fine servant to his sister.

Feng Xiu gazed tenderly at the infant. “Lingxuan, what shall we name him?”

Without hesitation, Bai Lingxuan looked toward Maple Yun. “Sister, please choose a name for the child.”

“Yes, Auntie will name little brother,” Bai Yue chimed in.

Feng Xiu: ...

The world may isolate me and mock me...

“Let’s call him Abao,” Maple Yun said, giving him the name he was meant to have, meaning “Precious Treasure.”

Bai Yue giggled. “Abao, Baby Dragon, hahaha, that’s a great name.”

“Baby Dragon, from now on, big sister will spoil you!”

At these words, Bai Lingxuan’s eyes brightened. “Baby Dragon—that’s a cute nickname. We’ll call Abao ‘Baby Dragon’ from now on!”

Feng Xiu: ...

The mighty and imposing Transcendent Demon Dragon reduced to ‘Baby Dragon’—the contrast was just too great.

Still, seeing Bai Lingxuan and Bai Yue so happy, he dared not object.

If wife and daughter were pleased, then the son would just have to endure.

From then on, Abao would carry the embarrassing nickname of Baby Dragon.

Watching this warm scene, Maple Yun’s thoughts drifted back more than six thousand years, recalling the days she spent with the three original Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Demon Gods—those were equally tender times.

She smiled faintly. Life here wasn’t bad at all.

In that instant, she felt herself more deeply integrated into this era.

…

P.S. The ages of the characters in the original work and the anime are quite inconsistent—even within the original, Bai Yue’s age fluctuates. I have no choice but to set my own ages. T_T Not only Bai Yue’s age but all characters’ ages are vague and inconsistent, some older, some younger at different times—it’s enough to drive me crazy calculating them. T_T Therefore, I decided to assign my own. Here, Bai Yue is set to be fourteen years older than Abao, who is the same age as Mendi.
