Chapter 725: Chapter 539 The Newly Born is Wise_1

The young dragons are quite unstable in form during the hatching process, and generally, they are not affected by any external influence that causes a change in form unless someone forcibly breaks the shell, which can lead to developmental deformities.

The shell of a dragon egg is itself a strong filtering protection shell, which can basically filter out pollutants from the outside world. Even the blood of a Demigod poured over it would be filtered by the eggshell, with the dragon egg absorbing the beneficial parts.

However, this method also depends on the dragon egg itself. Ordinary dragon eggs may not withstand this influence, leading to abnormal changes in the young dragons that emerge from the shells.

Such situations are caused by external Divinity influence. If they are affected, it means that ordinary dragon eggs are not sufficient to filter out the parts of the Divinity that could influence the young dragon.

However, dragon eggs that have awakened Divinity have stronger filtering abilities.

But Zheng Yichen was even more extraordinary; just the scent of Divinity in his blood brought her some unconventional influences.

She was still a white dragon, but the red claws and the pupils were not characteristics of a white dragon. A white dragon’s eyes are usually silver or golden, and the claws are a bit darker than the scales, but still white.

One can imagine, if Zheng Yichen’s blood really contained strong Divinity Power, then after she hatched, she would not be a white dragon anymore, but some kind of alien species dragon with its nature changed by too strong of an external influence.

Mutations are not necessarily beneficial, and because the change happened at the time of hatching, it means the change is innate and irreversible. If forced back, that would be the real ’mutation’ for her.

Fortunately, the mutations she now experienced were not on the negative side. Although she gained some characteristics that were not intrinsic to white dragons, these features were the result of external ’nourishment,’ which also demonstrated Zheng Yichen’s own strength.

"My name is [——]." After a while, the young white dragon introduced herself to Zheng Yichen with great solemnity, an important step for a young dragon, secondary only to the hatching process but also decisive for life.

When it comes to the dragon names, they inherit elements of their parents’ names, but also have parts unique to themselves, hence dragon offspring introduce themselves after hatching, typically to their kin who are the onlookers.

"..." Zheng Yichen blinked, not understanding the Dragon Language.

The young white dragon understood this too, but still completed this important step. Moreover, Zheng Yichen found that, although he could not understand that sentence of Dragon Language, the ’self-introduction’ remained in his memory, creating a special impression of the young dragon.

A vivid memory and impression; Zheng Yichen could even try to actively pronounce those complex and awkward syllables to the human ear, deepening his empathy for the intense rage in Klakauska’s heart.

Even when the dragon he cared for was forcibly separated from the life of the fire dragon due to a curse.

"In the common tongue, it would be: Firlo Tanshia Olive Alicrissy Welleford Narwelgellin."

"...Are all dragons this intelligent at birth?" The white dragon nodded. "Young dragons are very smart after hatching for a while. This helps us quickly assimilate some inherited memories and also deal with potential dangers around us."

"You may call me Tanshia Firlo. You are neither my birth parent nor of the Dragon Tribe, but you are my caregiver and the witness to my true name. Our kinship can be ultimately confirmed after I reach adulthood."

Zheng Yichen thought of the unique customs of the Dragon Tribe, which do not share the values of the human race. It is common for adult dragons to raise a dragon egg and take it as a wife, although sometimes they end up raising it like a daughter or son.

But this does not hinder the development of the Dragon Tribe. Because dragons have long lifespans, raising one generation of dragon eggs might be one way, but the next egg could be different.

Also, due to the long lifespan of dragons, the difference in age becomes insignificant. Zheng Yichen once heard from a fire dragon that some dragons raised from eggs by adult dragons may not outlive their caregiver.

Tanshia Firlo doesn’t worry about Zheng Yichen’s lifespan. How could someone who could, with just their blood and the Divinity aura it carries, complement her own missing essence, allowing her to hatch normally and causing her constitution to change, be surpassed in lifespan by the Dragon Tribe?

If he was, then such an existence must have been cursed by something.

"Please allow me a brief period of sleep. It won’t seem long in human perception of time," she said.

Zheng Yichen watched as the young white dragon closed her eyes slightly and placed her on the ground. As the young white dragon curled her tail and fell asleep, he could see with Life Perception and thermal vision that her life state was becoming more vigorous.

In this heightened state of vitality, her body was growing rapidly, not in size, but in strength. Through the thermal vision, the previously unbalanced heat sources became balanced.

Let’s just say that the ’heat sources’ and Life Force of the recently hatched young white dragon were mostly concentrated in the head. But now, with this sleep, the heat and Life Force, which were primarily in the head, began to redistribute.

Was this the young dragon confirming the safety of its surroundings before it started to grow properly? Zheng Yichen looked toward Liu Hongzhao and the others, whose provided blood was mostly digested, the surrounding mist of blood beginning to fade, and they would be waking up before long.

Liu Hongzhao was the first to wake up, and she immediately saw the white creature coiled at Zheng Yichen’s feet.

"Is this a dragon??" The redhead had never seen a giant dragon with wings, her world did have legends of winged dragons, but even those differed in form from the young white dragon she was now observing.

"Yes, it’s a giant dragon, the kind related to magic, not the serpent-like kind."

"So we should be able to see more of such dragons in the future, right?" Liu Hongzhao glanced once more at Lin Yaoyao and the others who were still not awake.

"We’ll definitely see them," Zheng Yichen assured her with a smile, reaching out to stroke the young dragon at his feet, who unconsciously nuzzled his palm with its head in its slumber, lacking the ’sapience’ it had right after hatching.

In place of that was a dopey sense of adorability like that of a kitten.

He could already imagine what the small white dragon would be like when it woke up. Thus said, dragons are truly unique creatures, born with ancestral memories and sufficient intelligence to deal with potential troubles during infancy, only returning to normal once the environment was deemed safe—their capability for survival was maxed out from the start.

After a while, Lin Yaoyao and the others also began to wake up, one by one.

"Wow, is this a dragon? Why does it look nothing like what I’ve seen in books?"

"Because it’s from a different system. It’s late, you should all rest too, and we’ll set out when the day breaks," Zheng Yichen stood up and walked over to the shell of the dragon egg, which had split neatly in half from the center. He observed the size of the dragon egg.

A person could easily fit inside if folded up. When the egg was reassembled, apart from a tiny crack, there were almost no other flaws to be seen.

He tapped on the eggshell; it had not become fragile due to the hatching of the young dragon, its strength remained as before, and Tanshia Firlo had not crunched up the eggshell as food.

Zheng Yichen figured this object might be useful.

He collected the shell of the dragon egg—regardless of its utility, such a large eggshell could serve as a collectible.

Deep into the night, Lilith perched on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder and said, "Boss, the growth cycle of a young dragon is very long, you shouldn’t have too high of expectations for her in the short term."

"That’s not an issue, there are many ways to grow, and she will become formidable," Zheng Yichen was unconcerned with the speed of the young dragon’s growth; just by looking at its initial state, he knew this dragon’s achievements wouldn’t be insignificant.

The life force of a newly born was almost comparable to Klakauska’s, and moreover, this young dragon even had innate Divinity, not the kind directly inherited from its parents.

Tanshia Firlo had awakened Divinity within the egg, though related to lineage, her parents and grandparents were neither demigods nor Divinity creatures, meaning hers was a natural demigod status.

Hence, after hatching, she did not have the unique Divine Runes typically found on other demigods’ bodies. Tanshia Firlo had no issues with her body handling the Divine Power inherited from her parents, and as there was no leakage of the Divinity Power, there was no need for such runes.

Not to mention how fast she could grow staying with Zheng Yichen; would her kin in the Dragon Tribe look down on such a young dragon?

As for the slightly ’rebellious’ features on Tanshia Firlo, well, that probably wasn’t too big of an issue. Zheng Yichen, with his sensory abilities, did not detect any abnormality in her, not even the slightest trace of mutation.

This young dragon was perfectly healthy.

"It’s late; I’m going to rest too."

After a glance at the three girls sleeping side by side, Zheng Yichen directly lay down on the motorcycle to rest, activating his holographic camouflage which silently enveloped the surroundings, while the force field generator subtly influenced the environment, making the night breeze gentler.

The next day, Zheng Yichen put his hand on his forehead and opened his eyes to see White, the white ball that always acted as a vehicle hanging ornament, which had inched its way onto him and had been bouncing around since dawn.

This creature didn’t need to eat anything specific; as Lilith had observed, White could normally extract ambient free energy to maintain its own state, and its preferred food was substances of chaos.

For example, if they encountered a chaos-attributed demon, throwing White at it would result in a scene of it heartily gnawing on the demon.
