Fuck, my body is still hiding a huge secret?
Seeing Du Qiuniang’s mysteriously amused smile, Qin Tian instantly felt a tightness in his heart.
Although Qin Tian always felt that he was extraordinary, the extraordinariness Du Qiuniang referred to was not ordinary at all—not only mixed blood but a mix of the Dragon Flame Clan and possibly an even more powerful race... Fuck, this really feels like a plot straight out of a fantasy novel!
"Hiss... So, my body is actually worth some money then."
Qin Tian sarcastically mocked himself as he watched Du Qiuniang: "Qiuniang, how do you know so much?"
"My mother told me. She was a woman of great experience who spent her lifetime searching for people from the Dragon Flame Clan. Unfortunately... she never found a man from the Dragon Flame Clan to break the seal, so she was doomed to a mediocre life."
"Do you know where your mother is? I’d like to meet her and ask about the four great mysterious clans."
"My mother... has been... dead for many years..."
"It seems to be the fate of our Phoenix Clan."
With eyes slightly red, Du Qiuniang looked at Qin Tian: "The fate of our Phoenix Clan is to find someone from the Dragon Flame Clan to break the seal. If the seal can’t be broken, we can’t live past forty."
Qin Tian took a sharp breath and said in shock, "How is that possible, it goes against common scientific knowledge!"
Du Qiuniang offered a wry smile: "There are many mysteries in the world that defy scientific understanding... My mother died when I was eighteen, not making it to her fortieth birthday. Since then, I’ve wandered the world, desperately searching for people from the Dragon Flame Clan... Master, I am truly fortunate to have found you in my thirties. If I hadn’t, I probably wouldn’t have many years left..."
As she said this, Du Qiuniang became melancholic.
"Qiuniang, don’t be sad. Fate is meant to be broken. Our meeting, just like what your mother said, must be destiny..."
Qin Tian sat on the edge of the bed, drew Du Qiuniang into his arms with one hand. After hearing about Du Qiuniang’s past, he somehow felt a strong kinship with her and wanted to cherish this ’big sister’.
He asked, "So, if I help you break the seal, will you be able to have a normal person’s lifespan?"
Du Qiuniang, cradled in Qin Tian’s arms, looked at him and explained, "If Master helps me break the seal, I will acquire a vitality beyond ordinary people. My mother said that the maximum lifespan could reach over two hundred years, and that’s not even the limit..."
"Heh, it’s indeed one of the four great mysterious clans of the world, so mysterious and strange. But it’s fair too. If you can’t break the seal, you only live to forty; break it, and you deserve to live longer than most."
As Qin Tian said this, he wondered what other strange secrets the Dragon Flame Clan might have.
When he asked Du Qiuniang, she replied that she wasn’t sure either. She only knew how to identify the characteristics of people from the Dragon Flame Clan, not much else.
"Qiuniang, has your mother ever seen a Phoenix Clan woman whose seal was broken by a Dragon Flame Clan man?"
Qin Tian thought of a question: since Dragon Flame Clan men are so hard to find, if one is found, the women of the Phoenix Clan could well share him to continue the lineage and extend life; surely other considerations like ethics and morality would have to take a back seat, right?
Qin Tian voiced his doubts to Du Qiuniang, who laughed and said, "If only it were so simple... It’s just..."
"Just what? Is it that a man from the Dragon Flame Clan can only break the seal for one woman from the Phoenix Clan?"
After asking the question, Qin Tian seemed to have already guessed the answer.
"Yes, a man from the Dragon Flame Clan can only break the seal for one woman from the Phoenix Clan."
As Du Qiuniang nodded, she continued, "Master, you can look at your right wrist. There is a black mole exactly above your artery — that is the Bloodline Mole that controls your Dragon Flame Yang Qi. Once you help me lift the seal, that mole will disappear... meaning you’ll lose the ability to break seals."
Hearing this, Qin Tian looked at his right wrist and indeed, he saw a small black mole just above the artery.
What he had thought was a natural birthmark now seemed to be a distinctive trait of men from the Dragon Flame Clan, a controller of lineage?
Just that, once he lifted the seal of a Phoenix Clan woman, his bloodline task would be complete and the mole would disappear, which was somewhat regrettable.
"Okay, I understand. Let’s do this."
Qin Tian had thought about becoming a stud in the future, freely breaking seals for the women of the Phoenix Clan, sleeping with beauties, and being thanked for it, and all for free... Thinking about it was a little exciting indeed.
But now, it seemed that was just wishful thinking. Without the mole, women from the Phoenix Clan would probably treat him as a fraudster, wouldn’t they?
"On the other hand, the Phoenix Clan being so rare, I’ve only ever encountered Qiuniang, and even if I wanted to find more, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know where to start, as they don’t have any distinctive features..."
Qin Tian mumbled to himself, thinking it made sense.
The eyes of men from the Dragon Flame Clan would noticeably redden when angry, so for Phoenix Clan women, they were easy to spot.
But hunting for Phoenix Clan women by Dragon Flame Clan men? What’s he supposed to do, approach a beautiful woman and say, "Hey beauty, mind taking off your pants so I can check if there’s a Phoenix on your butt?"
That would probably get him beaten up in the streets for being a hooligan!
"Master, are you sure, really willing to give your one and only chance to break a seal to Qiuniang?"
When Qin Tian and Du Qiuniang were undressed and lying together, Du Qiuniang asked with overwhelming disbelief and excitement.
"You’ve been calling me ’Master’ for a year, who else would I help break the seal for if not you? Qiuniang, from now on, you’re my person, it’s our racial destiny." Qin Tian said.
"Mm, Master, Qiuniang will serve Master well. Thank you, Master!"
With grateful tears, Du Qiuniang clung tightly to Qin Tian’s body.
"Come on, Qiuniang, let me help you lift the seal."
Qin Tian saw that at this moment, Du Qiuniang’s body was adorned with a mysterious glow taking shape, and he too felt a bizarre current spreading throughout his body!
