A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6463

"It carried the scent of the Nightfox bloodline.

It carried the beast-race royal house's bloodline aura."

"And though that trace of the bloodline was weak, it was pure.

There was no mistaking it. It came from the core blood of the Nightfox line."

"Morgana straightened in her seat.

The lazy ease that had hung over her vanished, replaced by a grave, deliberate bearing."

"Her gaze locked onto that violet soul.

When she spoke, her voice had weight in it, each word falling like it carried a thousand pounds."

"How does your spirit contain the bloodline aura of my people? And not just any trace, but the Nightfox royal bloodline's aura, pure to this degree?"

Jared went silent for a moment.

"This was the key to obtaining the Elderheart Soulwood.

There could be no half-truths here."

"He spoke slowly.

His voice came low and clear, with a softness buried so deep it almost went unheard."

"When I was in the Ethereal Realm, I had a lady companion. She was the Fox Queen. Her name was Catina, and she belonged to the Nightfox line."

"When we were together, our bloodlines once fused. That is why her bloodline aura remains in my spirit—the same Nightfox royal bloodline's aura Your Majesty just mentioned."

"Catina? The Ethereal Realm?"

"Morgana repeated the two names under her breath.

A distant light moved through her amber eyes."

"Then the corner of her mouth lifted into a faint smile.

It was soft, almost relieved, nothing like the cold authority she had shown before."

"That child is one of my descendants. Tens of thousands of years ago, I ascended to the celestial realm, and from then on, I lost contact with the descendants I had left in the Ethereal Realm."

"I thought they had all died out. I never expected that after tens of thousands of years, I would still hear news of them here, still sense their bloodline aura. This is truly good."

"Jared's spirit shook.

The pale violet glow around his soul rippled hard."

"He had never imagined Catina would turn out to be a descendant of Beast Sovereign Morgana.

Even less had he imagined that, here in the Seventeenth Firmament, he would meet Catina's ancestress."

Countless memories of Catina surged up at once.

"He remembered the Ethereal Realm.

He remembered Catina's gentle smile."

He remembered the days when Catina had forced him into bloodline-fusing dual cultivation.

He remembered the scene of her saving him, spending her own cultivation without hesitation, nearly dying for it.

He remembered the look in Catina's eyes when he left the Ethereal Realm, the way she could hardly bear to let him go.

He had believed the distance between him and Catina had become impossibly far.

Yet here, in this place, he had actually met her ancestress.

"Warmth tangled with the ache of her absence and ran through him.

Even Jared's soul began to tremble under it."
