Chapter 4 The Heart of the Demon Dragon, My Lord Has Become Gentle!
[The Heart of the Demon Dragon: A top-tier heart comparable to a divine artifact, capable of greatly enhancing various physical abilities and increasing cultivation speed.]
[The Heart of the Demon Dragon can form a mental shield, protecting divine consciousness and granting immunity to mental attacks.]
[At the same time, the Heart of the Demon Dragon can provide the host with the "immortality" characteristic, greatly enhancing recovery ability.]
To ensure Qin Feng was unaware, the system thoughtfully provided a detailed explanation of the Heart of the Demon Dragon.
At this moment, the Heart of the Demon Dragon was not a reward given upon birth.
Qin Feng closed his eyes, feeling his heart.
"Thump thump!"
"Thump thump!"
A strong and powerful vibration.
However, since he hadn't been born yet, he hadn't experienced many of the Heart of the Demon Dragon's functions.
For example, the increased cultivation speed.
If this increase could overlap with the effects of the Demon Dragon Ring, Qin Feng's cultivation speed would be like riding a rocket.
More importantly, Qin Feng's current Heart of the Demon Dragon could provide the characteristic of immortality.
This characteristic was extremely terrifying.
If he had possessed this Heart of the Demon Dragon in his previous life, why would he need to be reborn?
The mere Tang God King could be killed so easily.
Even if his underhanded tactics succeeded, the Heart of the Demonic Dragon possessed immortality.
Qin Feng only needed a little time to recover quickly.
Tang God King's underhanded tricks could only be used once, right?
Qin Feng would immediately show him what cruelty truly meant.
Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."
This time, with the Heart of the Demonic Dragon, Qin Feng couldn't imagine the possibility of disaster.
"Not bad, not bad."
Not bad, this reward is quite good.
It seems that as long as he gains Gu Yuena's favor more, he might unlock more unique rewards.
But he can't rush this.
Right now, he can only call her "Mom" at most.
He'll interact with Gu Yuena more when he's more fully developed.
For now, he just needs to quietly wait for each sign-in.
These sign-in rewards are quite good themselves.
Developing like this, Qin Feng himself doesn't dare imagine how terrifying he could become.
In the following days, Qin Feng continued to sign in.
After a week of continuous sign-ins, his agility and speed improved significantly. After
a month of continuous sign-ins, he unlocked another unique reward: enhanced mental power.
Almost every day's sign-in reward was different.
If it weren't for the near-infinite space within the Demon Dragon Ring, Qin Feng wouldn't know where to put all these rewards after they were distributed at once.
His current task was simply to continue signing in and developing...
…
Time passed.
Gu Yuena was no longer staying under the tree stump in the core area, but had gone to rest deep within a cave.
Pregnancy was much harder than she had imagined.
Di Tian had come many times during this period, but hadn't seen Gu Yuena.
Whenever a soul beast approached, Gu Yuena would warn her that she was in seclusion.
Therefore, no one had seen Gu Yuena these past few days.
If Di Tian hadn't been able to confirm her identity through her aura, he probably would have rushed into the cave to investigate.
Now, deep within this cave, Gu Yuena gently stroked her belly.
She tried many ways to communicate with the child inside.
At first, Qin Feng didn't want to respond, but he felt that if this went on for too long, Gu Yuena might suspect it was stillborn, which would be troublesome.
If she miscarried, Qin Feng would die without knowing why.
So sometimes, he would choose to respond. For example, he would place his hand on his belly, leaving a small handprint.
Gu Yuena would then extend two fingers and touch it.
This was considered communication.
Qin Feng had pondered for a long time whether or not to tell Gu Yuena his true identity.
He was worried that Gu Yuena's mentality would collapse if she knew.
If that happened, he might lose his special reward.
The special reward items were all exceptionally good and crucial for Qin Feng's development.
Therefore, he should remain cautious for now and not reveal his identity as a demonic dragon.
All of this was to maintain Gu Yuena's favorability, for the system reward, and also for Qin Feng's cultivation.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng spoke.
"Mommy~"
"Mommy~"
Upon hearing the voice, Gu Yuena immediately and gently lifted the veil covering her belly, her eyes sparkling with tenderness.
"Good child, good child, Mommy is here."
Gu Yuena responded.
Her words were full of love for her unborn child.
Even she herself didn't realize that she had become even gentler during this time.
It was a gentleness that came from within.
Although revenge remained her top priority, Gu Yuena's heart was no longer solely burdened by hatred.
There was also love for the child in her womb.
This was an emotion entirely different from hatred.
Gu Yuena knew she had changed.
Changed by the child in her womb.
…
Meanwhile, within the inner circle, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and others were gossiping.
The most frequent topic of conversation was naturally their lord, Gu Yuena.
"Have you noticed how gentle our lord has become lately?" Zi Ji exclaimed.
"Indeed…" Bi Ji nodded, deeply agreeing, "I've noticed it too. It's strange, like we've suddenly changed our lord."
"I wonder what happened," Zi Ji frowned thoughtfully, "Something just doesn't feel right."
"Sigh, but I quite like our current lord. The old lord was good too, just too cold. I didn't dare breathe in her presence," Bi Ji sighed.
Suddenly, her demeanor shifted, and she smiled, "Hehe, Zi Ji, do you prefer the fierce and cold-blooded Master, or the Master who's gentler now?"
Zi Ji was taken aback, then seriously considered the question.
Both of them were dressed in purple and emerald green gauze dresses, looking exceptionally beautiful.
"I prefer the old Master," Zi Ji said, looking up at Bi Ji. "After all, with such a change, I wonder if Master will still lead us..."
Bi Ji was startled.
Indeed, she hadn't considered this question.
"Is it because Master is under too much pressure..." Bi Ji sighed.
"You... can you stop guessing..."
Di Tian watched Zi Ji and Bi Ji speculating about what had happened to Gu Yue Na that caused her personality change, and couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Master becoming gentler isn't necessarily a bad thing for us."
Di Tian knew the pressure Gu Yue Na was under.
Leading all the soul beasts to rise was no easy feat.
She was indeed under immense pressure. There
wasn't much they could do to help her; Gu Yue Na was still recovering from her injuries.
Everything would only be clear after she recovered.
"We must believe." Di Tian took a deep breath, his words filled with unwavering conviction. "Believe that our lord will surely lead us to rise again!"
Bi Ji and Zi Ji were moved by Di Tian's certainty and nodded in agreement.
