56: Chapter 56 Chameleon
"Sister Zi, look over there quickly! Such a huge Yao Beast!"
"Sister Tao, Sister Tao! This small island is several times bigger than our Wanhua Island!"
"Wow! Someone is fighting over there, look!"
He lay on the rocking chair on the deck.
Little Strawberry's excited, chattering shouts filled his ears.
Ever since they left Wanhua Island, she had not stopped for a moment.
At the time, neither Yuan Chen nor Luo Li could convince the other.
In the end, they let Little Strawberry make the decision herself.
Subsequently, amidst Luo Li's sighs.
Little Strawberry chose without hesitation to play with her sisters for a while longer.
Just as Yuan Chen was bored and deep in thought.
He felt someone pat his shoulder.
He lazily opened his eyes and saw Luo Li standing before him.
"Follow me. Mother has something to discuss with you."
After speaking, she turned and headed back to the room she shared with Yuan Ji on the flying boat.
Yuan Chen tilted his head.
He did not know what she wanted.
After a moment's thought, he got up and followed her.
Once inside the room.
Yuan Ji and Luo Li were already sitting opposite each other, looking solemn.
Yuan Chen did not stand on ceremony.
He casually found a seat and sat down.
"Dad! Mom, what do you need me for?"
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table and began to fiddle with it.
After Yuan Chen finished speaking.
Luo Li and Yuan Ji fell silent.
They exchanged glances, unsure of how to begin.
Luo Li looked deeply troubled.
She had long wanted to bring this matter up with Yuan Chen.
It was regarding Yuan Chen's offspring.
Usually, when others have children, the offspring resemble either the mother or the father.
Generally, they resemble whichever side has the stronger Bloodline.
Although cases of strange mutations occurred, they were pitifully rare.
But Yuan Chen was different.
Every child he sired was bizarre.
Not a single one was normal.
And that wasn't even the worst part.
At least it was a mix of Yuan Chen's Bloodline and his daughters-in-law's Bloodlines.
While the probability of every single offspring being a mutation was extremely low.
Who was to say that Yuan Chen's Physique wasn't special?
She could tolerate that for the time being.
However, when Yuan Yun—also known as Luo Xinyi—gave birth, she was truly stunned.
Yuan Yun's appearance and aura were more like a hybrid of a Silver Dragon and a human.
It had absolutely nothing to do with their Azure Dragon Clan.
An Azure Dragon.
Giving birth to a child carrying a Silver Dragon Bloodline.
That was completely absurd!
Yet, after carefully investigating, she discovered that the child was indeed connected to their Bloodline; there was no issue there.
So where was the problem?
Troubled, she could only turn to Yuan Ji to discuss it.
When the two met, Yuan Ji looked equally troubled.
However, he felt embarrassed to ask in front of so many daughters-in-law.
So, today, he had specially set aside time to ask about the situation.
Yuan Ji sat silently behind Luo Li.
At this moment, if he were squatting at the doorway, puffing away on a cigarette, it would probably better match the expression on his face.
Seeing her husband remaining silent, Luo Li sighed and had to speak up herself.
After some hesitation, she looked at Yuan Chen cautiously and asked.
"Chen'er, is there... something wrong with your health?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen was completely stunned.
The teacup he was fiddling with stopped moving.
He stared at his mother with a strange look in his eyes.
What on earth had happened?
To make his mother say such nonsense.
With over a dozen little ones babbling outside, how could she say there was something wrong with his health?
Not to mention that he wouldn't accept that, the children's mothers wouldn't either!
From Yuan Chen's expression, Luo Li realized something and said awkwardly.
"Mother didn't mean that!"
"It's your offspring..."
She then explained her concerns.
Yuan Chen nodded in understanding.
So that was what this was about.
"Well..."
Just as Yuan Chen opened his mouth.
Luo Li and Yuan Ji widened their eyes, staring intently at Yuan Chen.
Their ears were pricked up high.
Yuan Chen gave a dry cough.
He leaned forward and beckoned his parents over.
"Dad, Mom, I have a secret I need to tell you..."
Seeing Yuan Chen's mysterious demeanor.
The couple exchanged glances; Chen'er truly did have some secret they were unaware of.
Their curiosity grew even stronger.
They couldn't help but lean their heads forward.
The three heads leaned in together.
Yuan Chen whispered, "Actually... I am not an Azure Dragon!"
"What on earth? You're not an Azure Dragon?"
Upon hearing Yuan Chen's first sentence, Yuan Ji could barely sit still.
He exclaimed aloud.
His eyes were wide with shock.
He had watched Yuan Chen crawl out of the Dragon egg with his own eyes.
How could he not be an Azure Dragon!
This was not only an insult to him, but also an insult to Luo Li.
Luo Li couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She reached out and flicked Yuan Chen on the forehead.
"You child, what nonsense are you spouting?"
However, no sooner had she struck him than she was taken aback by Yuan Chen's serious expression.
Yuan Chen looked at them with a straight face.
"I am not spouting nonsense."
He then said in a low, serious voice.
"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary Dragon."
"I didn't expect that it would only bring you anxiety and confusion."
"Forget it. I won't pretend anymore. I'm laying my cards on the table."
"I am a... I am a mutant Divine Beast Chameleon!"
Yuan Chen raised his voice by two decibels for the last sentence.
Yuan Ji and Luo Li were frozen in place.
After they recovered, Yuan Ji exclaimed.
"Chameleon!"
Two seconds later, Luo Li echoed him.
"Chameleon!"
After the exclamation, she looked at her husband with confusion.
"Yuan Ji, what kind of Dragon is a Chameleon?"
Hearing the question, Yuan Ji looked equally puzzled.
He turned to look at Yuan Chen.
It had sounded pretty impressive just now.
But he had truly never even heard of the Chameleon species within the Dragon Clan.
Yuan Chen straightened his posture.
He scanned the two of them.
He leisurely began to spout nonsense.
He furrowed his brows and spoke in a deep voice!
"A Chameleon is a mutant Top-tier Divine Beast of the Dragon Clan."
"It is not strange that you do not know; I also found this information within my Legacy memories."
"Dad, Mom, do you remember when my head hurt inexplicably when I was fifteen? That was when my Legacy memories were Awakening."
Luo Li and Yuan Ji exchanged glances.
Yuan Ji nodded hesitantly. "It seems there was something like that!"
Yuan Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Both of them had lived for several hundred years.
He did not believe they could remember everything that had happened every single year clearly.
He continued.
"From my Legacy memories, I learned that I am not part of the Azure Dragon Clan, but a Chameleon, which only appears once every million years."
"The characteristic of a Chameleon is that as its strength improves, the entire Dragon can transform into various species within the Dragon Clan."
"You also know that I couldn't Cultivate before; that was because the power within my body had not fully undergone Awakening."
"Now, look at my current strength."
As he spoke, Yuan Chen suppressed his strength to the Golden Core Peak stage and demonstrated it to his parents.
"Golden Core Peak stage!"
Luo Li sat up from her chair in shock.
She looked at her son in disbelief.
In two years, he had leapt from the Golden Core Initial Stage to the Golden Core Peak stage.
Could he truly be a Top-tier Divine Beast?
She trembled all over.
A Top-tier Divine Beast!
That was a Top-tier Divine Beast!
