"You… what's your relationship with my sister?" The Dragon God inquired as he stared at Yuan with raised eyebrows.
"She's my follower—" Yuan stopped mid-sentence as Dragon Goddess Yeyou shot him a dangerous glare, her eyes warning him not to continue.
"Ahem!" Yuan quickly cleared his throat before correcting himself, "She's my lover."
"?!?!" Hearing this unexpected answer, the Dragon God's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets from shock.
The Dragon God turned to look at Dragon Goddess Yeyou for confirmation. Although Dragon Goddess Yeyou appeared nonchalant at a glance, her eyes flickered with delight.
"No way…" The Dragon God could feel his knees weakening. He had never felt so weak and vulnerable before.
"H-how did it happen?" he asked a moment later.
Dragon Goddess Yeyou frowned and said, "Stop inquiring. It's none of your business, anyway."
"How can you say that to your twin brother? What if the two of you produce another Dragon God's descendant? We may have split, but we're both still considered 'Dragon God'."
Dragon Goddess Yeyou sneered, "Even if we do, it's still none of your business."
The Dragon God wore a shocked look on his face before asking in a trembling voice, "D-don't tell me… you already have a child?"
Dragon Goddess Yeyou's body trembled in anger. "You're lucky I don't have a physical body to beat you up right now…" she growled.
"..."
The Dragon God stopped joking and became serious.
"Speaking of your condition, what happened?"
Dragon Goddess Yeyou ignored him and looked at Yuan instead.
"Do you remember your last moments—how you died?" she asked.
Yuan closed his eyes and responded, "Not everything. It's still a little fuzzy, but I can make out the silhouette of several inhuman figures, and I was engaged in a fight with them."
"Then forget it. We can talk about this once you remember."
"You can't just tell me?"
"If you want to risk your soul shattering, I don't mind telling you."
Yuan's eyes widened at her words.
"Why would telling me have such a dangerous risk?"
"There exists forbidden knowledge which could trigger something akin to a curse or heavenly law if you reveal them to someone who doesn't have the authority or capability to hear it," she explained.
"It's like teaching a mortal an immortal technique so profound that it overwhelms and collapses their mind." freewёbnoνel.com
"I see…" Yuan muttered with a look of understanding. "Well, I'll eventually remember."
"By the way, Yeyou, what are you doing inside this Soul Weapon?" he asked her next. "And do you know what happened to the others?"
"We were with you when you died. Some of us perished alongside you, but some survived. I barely survived with my soul. After escaping, I met with the Dragon Ancestor, who placed me inside this unoccupied Soul Weapon."
Yuan clenched his fists after hearing that some of the Nine Divine Supremes had perished. "Do you know who died and who survived?" he asked.
