Jiang Yao observed Luo Xiao, who was being treated gently by the energy. His entire body was shrouded in light, and the demon prince's suspended heart slowly settled in its rightful position.
The energy was gentle and soft; it did not try to destroy Luo Xiao's body. Seeing this, Jiang Yao felt so relieved that he was unable to hide the smile on his face. Only he himself knew how horrified he had been previously when he had seen the energy ball in front of them.
It was not any common energy ball; it was a dragon heart.
Dragon hearts were very rare. In fact, Jiang Yao had never in his wildest dreams thought that he would ever encounter one. In fact, he had assumed that they were things that came from legends, but now that it was right in front of him, he knew that he was not dreaming.
A dragon heart was the remnant energy of a divine dragon. It did not belong to any specific race of dragon; however, it had to have reached the level of a divine dragon before it was capable of creating such a heart upon death.
This dragon heart did not only contain energy; it also contained the heritage of a dragon: their inherited skills and their memories. However, only another dragon would be able to benefit from these memories and skills, so Jiang Yao was a little confused as to why Luo Xiao was the inheritor.
Jiang Yao had fully forgotten about the small egg that had been bought by him back on the journey. For him, it was merely a small gadget for Luo Xiao to play with, and he did not think further about it.
The time was moving slowly. The energy within the dragon heart was slowly entering Luo Xiao, but it was no longer as rapid as at the start.
It was as if the small egg was almost satiated with energy, but the dragon heart was not willing.
Luo Xiao had a connection with the egg and the creature within. He could sense the satisfied beast's emotions, but he understood that the dragon heart wanted to push the egg to the point where it would hatch.
Luo Xiao was a little worried. He felt that the small beast within the egg had been injured for so long; was it truly ready to hatch?
He could feel the energy within the egg. The beast was bursting with vitality, and the worries he had before slowly ebbed away.
He did not fight against the energy that was being poured in from the dragon heart, and while he was enshrouded in the light, he took the egg out from his storage treasure.
The moment the egg appeared in Luo Xiao's hands, the shine of the dragon heart increased so much that Jiang Yao was almost blinded by it.
He noticed the small egg that appeared in Luo Xiao's hands, and he was enlightened. While he had not remembered it before, the moment it appeared in his sight, it reemerged in his memories, and things started making sense for him.
Back then, Jiang Yao had given him the technique called Twilight's Blessing, which helped Luo Xiao establish a connection with the beast within the egg.
This was not the standard contract that was being used on beasts. Where most of these contracts were slave contracts, and the beasts were nothing more than tools to the owners, this was a contract that connected the soul of the owner with the soul of the beast.
Should the beast die, then the owner would follow it to death, and vise versa. This was a very solemn contract, but it had some benefits. The beast and human had connected their souls, and their cultivation would also increase faster, as they could boost each other's cultivation speed.
They would be able to locate one another, no matter how far apart they were, and were able to communicate with one another.
While these benefits were quite amazing, not many were willing to do such a thing. The fact that their souls would be connected, combined with the fact that they might die alongside their beast, was simply not acceptable. So even if there were some advantages, they would not go for this solution.
Luo Xiao had done it, and Jiang Yao had been against it back then. He knew the risks, but he could not convince Luo Xiao otherwise, and now he felt much more comfortable.
The egg had been on the verge of death when Luo Xiao had used the Twilight's Blessing, but now that it had encountered a dragon heart, the future of this beast would be unimaginable.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom It seemed that Luo Xiao's good luck was out of this world. Even Jiang Yao had never been able to gain such benefits, but he understood that it had something to do with Luo Xiao's personality.
Those who did good deeds would be repaid in kind. He had selflessly saved the egg, and now this kindness was being repaid to him.
Jiang Yao was not jealous. Although he could also use this dragon heart, he had no intention of doing so. This was Luo Xiao's, and he only felt great satisfaction whenever he thought of how Luo Xiao's strength would become much higher.
Even so, he dared not relax. This cave was relatively safe, but right now, Luo Xiao was truly like a sitting duck. If anyone had some evil thoughts towards him, he would not be able to protect himself. Therefore, Jiang Yao kept observing the surroundings, and the situation at hand.
Jiang Yao did not rest, even though the hours ticked by, one after another, and the days came and went. After three days, a loud cracking sound finally appeared in the silent area, and Jiang Yao's eyes were drawn towards the hatching egg in Luo Xiao's hands.
