Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030
Ye Yanqin had no objections, though she was still in a dazed state.
In front of so many people, Bai Peng dared not proceed with the blood test himself, as he was shaking uncontrollably.
"I’ll do it!" Bai Hao said.
However, his hand also trembled slightly. Despite that, drawing blood was a minor task and didn’t seem to be affected.
Two drops of blood fell into the blood-testing artifact. In less than a blink, the result was clear.
The artifact emitted a brilliant red light.
This confirmed that Ye Yanqin was undoubtedly Bai Peng’s biological daughter!
Bai Peng, despite having prepared himself mentally, couldn’t hold back his tears as they poured down. His mouth curled up into a smile, which looked somewhat comical.
"I’ve finally found you!"
He walked over and embraced Ye Yanqin, overwhelmed with emotion.
Ye Yanqin, still in shock, tried to grasp the situation. She had lost her master and her fellow disciples, but now she was back in the arms of her family?
Bai Peng’s hot tears fell onto her neck, and it was then that she realized everything wasn’t a dream.
Bai Xiangyu and the others were overjoyed.
The Bai family people congratulated, "Congratulations, Patriarch, congratulations to the Third Miss for returning home!"
"Home?" Ye Yanqin mumbled, "I... I have a home. I’ve come home!"
She went from being in a daze to being overcome with emotion, crying just like Bai Peng.
Cinian, recalling the actions of the parents in Futian Town, couldn’t help but sigh.
The onlookers, though not part of the family, also had tears in their eyes at this touching family reunion.
But suddenly, there was a loud cry, "So... so moving!!"
They turned to see Ao Zhaozhao from the Dragon Clan, her eyes swollen from crying.
Ao Zhaozhao, as a member of the Aqua Clan, wasn’t just shedding a few tears. Her crying caused a massive emotional outpouring, as her tears began to form puddles on the ground.
Siheng was the first to notice and was slightly taken aback. His words stumbled, "Wh... what’s happening?"
Nanli turned her head, and her expression changed. "This is bad. When a Dragon Clan member cries, it causes flooding!"
She quickly motioned for Ao Zhaozhao to stop.
However, Ao Zhaozhao, overcome by emotion and her youth, was unable to control herself.
Shaking her head, she spoke haltingly, "I... I can’t... I can’t stop..."
Outside, the weather rapidly changed. Dark clouds gathered, and it seemed like a torrential rain was about to fall.
The Bai family, still caught up in their joy, were startled by the sudden change in the sky. They hadn’t yet reacted when—
A thunderous roar echoed, followed by large raindrops the size of beans falling from the sky.
In an instant, the entire Bai family estate was enveloped by the torrential rain.
Inside the main hall, a small pool of water was already forming on the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Hao’s eyes widened as he looked at Ao Zhaozhao, who was still crying. The water level was rising, and he couldn’t even speak coherently.
"She... she has no grudge against us, right? Why... why is she flooding my Bai family?"
Bai family’s estate was still settling down, with many things not yet properly arranged. If the water continued to rise, it would be a catastrophe.
Frightened, he raised his hand, "Stop it! If you keep crying, I’ll—"
But Ao Zhaozhao, remembering the centuries of suffering at the hands of the Carp Demon, shivered even more and began to cry harder.
In no time, the water had risen to her calves.
Although Siheng had his reservations about Ao Zhaozhao, seeing Bai Hao threaten a child made him scowl deeply.
"Try hitting her," he said coldly.
Bai Hao immediately paled. "I dare not, I dare not. But Celestial Sovereign, please think of a way. We can’t let her keep crying."
The rain outside intensified.
They swore they had never seen rain this heavy before.
Siheng was at a loss for a solution. He turned to Nanli.
Nanli also frowned. She said decisively, "Pick her up."
She took out a Transfer Talisman.
Without hesitation, Siheng scooped Ao Zhaozhao up in his arms.
As soon as the Transfer Talisman was activated, the couple, along with Ao Zhaozhao, were transported away.
While the water inside the main hall continued to rise, the heavy rain outside soon stopped.
However, the rainfall had been so intense that there was still considerable water accumulation both inside and outside the Bai family estate.
Bai Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, "That was close! If it had lasted another quarter of an hour, our estate would have been flooded."
Bai Peng asked, "Uncle, Ao Zhaozhao has cried before, and we didn’t see rain then. Why did it happen this time?"
Bai Hao was stunned for a moment. This was completely outside of his expertise.
The rest of the family, eagerly waiting for an answer, looked at him with expectant eyes. He was so frustrated that he glared at Bai Peng.
"As the head of the family, you don’t even know such a simple thing? Humph, I think it’s time for you to go back and study again!"
He flicked his sleeves in annoyance and left.
Bai Peng scratched his head, looking bewildered and innocent.
Meanwhile, on the East Sea, Siheng also asked the same question.
Nanli replied, "Before, she had lost half of her Dragon Horn and was injured, so her abilities were weak. But as she grows older and learns to control her powers, this won’t be an issue."
At this moment, they were standing on the back of a mythical rhino, holding umbrellas.
However, Ao Zhaozhao’s crying on the East Sea didn’t just bring rain; it also stirred up powerful waves on the sea.
Even the mythical rhino, which had been floating on the water, was beginning to struggle.
The mythical rhino sighed, "I’m feeling dizzy. I want to go back to the ocean floor."
Nanli, with a deep look of concern, pleaded, "Please, hang on a little longer."
The mythical rhino sighed again, "This little dragon girl has pure blood, but you should stop her from crying. Although we are far from the shore, the waves will eventually reach it."
This was the innate power of the Dragon Clan.
That was why they were able to command the Aqua Clan and rule the seas.
Nanli had no choice. She turned to Ao Zhaozhao and said, "You are the last of the Dragon Clan. You must be strong and not cry at every turn. Remember your father and mother’s teachings—Dragon Clan cannot cry freely. Otherwise, the human world will suffer."
Ao Zhaozhao faintly recalled her parents’ teachings.
Though she didn’t want to cry, her emotions had gotten the better of her, and she couldn’t control them.
However, her tears began to subside.
Finally, after a while, Ao Zhaozhao managed to stop crying, wiping her face.
The winds and waves on the sea gradually calmed, and the sky cleared.
Ao Zhaozhao, still with tears in her eyes, looked up at Nanli and said, her voice choked, "Auntie, do you think I’m not worthy of being Dragon Clan? Not worthy of being my father and mother’s daughter?"
It was the first time Ao Zhaozhao had called Nanli ’Auntie.’
Nanli raised an eyebrow, her eyes shining with affection. "No, it’s just that if you keep crying and cause a disaster, I will have no choice but to step in. But you’re part of Dragon Clan. With your abilities, you have a responsibility."
She patted Ao Zhaozhao’s back.
It wasn’t that she had high expectations of the child; it was just that the Dragon Clan’s immense power came with an equally great responsibility.
Ao Zhaozhao, hearing this, bit her lip and worked hard to calm herself, eventually managing to stop her tears.
Gratefully, she wiped her eyes and gave Nanli a huge smile. "Auntie, I stopped crying! I didn’t cry anymore!"
