Right after, Lin Feng didn't hide anything and explained to Zi Yan, "Inside Hall of Souls, there are massive amounts of soul bodies and Soul Origin. We want to collect them to strengthen our soul power."
"Oh, so it's that."
Hearing it was something related to soul power, Zi Yan pouted and said dismissively, "Stuff that boosts soul power? Our clan's old geezers have, like, more than ten warehouses full of that.
They say it's enough to push me to peak Heaven Realm soul. And they said they'll keep collecting more so that before my three-thousandth birthday, I'll reach Emperor Soul Realm."
She sighed regretfully. "Too bad those old men won't let me touch any of it right now. Otherwise I'd just bring it out and give it to you."
The moment she finished, Lin Feng and the girls all twitched their mouths violently, a collective urge to spit blood rising in their chests.
They were out here risking their lives, raiding Hall of Souls, almost getting killed just to get a LITTLE bit of soul essence…Meanwhile Zi Yan?
She literally sleeps at home and people deliver truckloads—no, warehouse loads—of soul treasures to her doorstep. Even Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes turned slightly red with envy when she heard about the Ancient Void Dragons' treatment of Zi Yan.
Their Heaven Demon Phoenix clan also had natural treasures that strengthened the soul But those were always monopolized by the clan leader, the oldest elders, and the extremely pure-blooded heirs.
People of Qing'er's level—basically mid-tier in the hierarchy—might get rewarded with a tiny amount only if they rendered huge merit. Yet the treasures she considered priceless were things this little female dragon could casually snack on.
Truly, as the old saying goes: compare beasts to beasts and you'll die from anger. As for Ye Xin Lan, she was completely stunned the moment she heard "a few warehouses," and didn't recover for a long while.
Seeing their expressions, Zi Yan scratched her head.
"Huh? Is that stuff very valuable? The old men said thousands of years ago, our clan had over a hundred warehouses stored up. But my father used up most of them when breaking through to Emperor Soul Realm, so now there isn't much left."
Hearing her innocent tone, Lin Feng was both shocked and amused.
This little girl truly had no idea what "precious" meant. She had no concept of how many supreme treasures were required to train a soul to that level. Of course, he didn't feel surprised about the old Dragon Emperor possessing an Emperor Soul Realm.
After all, near the end of the original story, the Dragon Emperor's presence alone was enough to trouble Hun Tiandi, who had an Emperor Soul and peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng body.
Unless he also had an Emperor Soul, the Dragon Emperor could never have made Hun Tiandi wary.
Relying on beast physique alone without Emperor Soul Realm? Impossible.
As for Feng Qing'er, her jaw practically hit the ground as she stared at Zi Yan. Her own strength wasn't considered top-tier in her clan, but she was well aware that even Dou Sheng elders mostly had late-stage Spirit Realm souls at best.
As for the clan leader, she didn't know exactly, but she guessed maybe early or mid-stage Heavenly Soul Realm. But Zi Yan's father… was Emperor Soul Realm!?
As a magic beast herself, she understood better than humans what kind of weight that carried.
"This little dragon's father… is he seriously the Ancient Void Dragon Clan Leader…"
Muttering to herself, Feng Qing'er shook her head in speechless disbelief.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yixian could only let out a helpless smile at Zi Yan's complete lack of awareness.
She said gently, "Take a guess why, after your father used up the storage thousands of years ago, it took your clan so long to gather just ten or so warehouses again?"
Hearing that, Zi Yan blinked, then suddenly slapped her fist into her palm.
Seeing everyone staring at her in shock, she suddenly realized and said, "Ohh, you guys mean those old geezers were just slacking off. They didn't bother searching seriously and tried to fool me!"
"Zi… Zi Yan, you're truly a genius."
After holding it in for a long while, Lin Feng finally twitched his lips and forced those words out.
"Zi Yan, Sister Xian'er meant that thing is extremely precious and unbelievably hard to find."
At this moment, Xin Lan finally came back to her senses, pulled Zi Yan back onto the cushion, and explained gently with a soft smile.
"Oh, why didn't you just say that earlier."
Hearing Xin Lan's explanation, Zi Yan nodded as if she had suddenly understood everything.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly moved past this topic that made him a bit jealous, then asked curiously, "Zi Yan, do they know how old you are now?"
"Oh, they said I should've hatched about twenty years ago, but because I was undernourished before hatching, my strength was really low at the start, and I got bullied by weaker magic beasts."
As she spoke, Zi Yan gritted her teeth, her expression filled with anger. From her look, she was clearly furious at her parents for randomly leaving her egg somewhere.
"Uh, so you Ancient Void Dragons are actually oviparous."
Hearing the girl talk about before and after hatching, Lin Feng couldn't help looking surprised. It was the first time he'd ever heard of this.
"Tch, look at you acting shocked."
Zi Yan pouted, then pointed at Feng Qing'er beside her and said, "Their Heaven Demon Phoenix clan too. You already mated with her. Who knows, the child she gives birth to might also be a bird egg."
Hearing that, the image of Feng Qing'er holding a beast egg and telling him it was his child flashed across Lin Feng's mind, and his whole body trembled. Feng Qing'er's beautiful face instantly darkened.
She pointed at Zi Yan and snapped, "Stop talking nonsense! You're a magic beast yourself, don't you know that whether a beast lays eggs depends mainly on the father's bloodline? Egg my ass! Your whole family is eggs!"
If Lin Feng weren't here today, she swore she would've beaten Zi Yan until even her mother couldn't recognize her.
"Ah, so that's how it works!"
Hearing Feng Qing'er say that, Zi Yan was instantly shocked.
She really didn't know. After all, she had only returned to her clan a few years ago, and she didn't like reading much. After several years, she still hadn't even fully understood the Ancient Void Dragon clan's history, let alone something like this.
But in Feng Qing'er's eyes, that expression was nothing but blatant provocation. After all, Zi Yan had extremely high bloodline purity. Obviously, the clan would've arranged tutors for her since childhood.
How could she possibly not know something so basic!
"Alright, let's put all that aside for now and get back to serious matters."
Seeing that Feng Qing'er was about to explode, Lin Feng hurriedly stepped in. After speaking, he turned to Zi Yan and warned her sternly, "And you, if you run your mouth like that again, I'm not letting you join these meetings anymore."
"Don't! Fine, fine, I'll shut up, okay?"
Hearing that she might be excluded, Zi Yan instantly backed down and smiled ingratiatingly.
