CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 38 SATAN YE’S DREAM

"Satan Ye had a long dream... In the dream, she was a Crimson Dragon, flying high in the sky, with beautiful clouds passing by her.

*Although it was beautiful, she couldn’t touch them, only feeling... so cold.*

*She couldn’t tell if it was the cold wind of the sky or the water vapor in the clouds. Anyway, she could feel her body was very hot, while the surroundings were somewhat cold... so cold.*

""Ugh..."

Satan Ye groaned as she opened her eyes. She lightly exhaled a small flame. She blinked her eyes, looking for Hilena, who should have been by her bedside...

But all she saw was Yila, reading a book by her bed.

"..."

""Mr. Yila..."

After Satan Ye’s voice grew louder, Yila, who had been hearing her, confirmed she was awake. He placed the book aside, looked at Satan Ye, whose face was beet red, and responded, "I’m here."

As he said this, Yila reached out to touch Satan Ye’s forehead... It was very hot, and not just her forehead, but her neck and cheeks were all red, emitting white vapor.

*Satan Ye seemed like she had just been taken out of a steamer.*

""Running a fever?"

Saying this, Yila was actually seeing a professional run a high fever for the first time... Technically, after becoming a professional, one usually wouldn’t get sick unless infected by a plague spell.

*After all, from the moment one becomes a professional, their physical qualities differ from ordinary people.*

""Mm, so hot~"

Satan Ye said softly, wrinkling her nose. She tried to lift the blanket. Wearing thin pajamas, she exposed her now crimson arms and legs...

Not just that, the tip of her tail burned like a little fire dragon, creating a sizable hole in the blanket, burning since who knows when... probably since she woke up.

""Is this normal?"

Not very familiar with Crimson Dragons, Yila asked this. He wasn’t sure if this was a normal symptom for a sick Crimson Dragon. He also couldn’t determine if Satan Ye needed to sleep with a blanket... or if her temperature should be lowered.

But what Yila didn’t understand, Satan Ye didn’t either.

""I don’t know either... But I had a dream; I dreamt I turned into my dragon form, flying in the sky, hiding in very cold clouds... Now I feel the environment is somewhat cold, but my body is very hot."

"..."

*Yila frowned, unable to comprehend the situation... He could only shake his head helplessly and say, "I’ll go find someone to ask, I’ll be away for a bit..."*

"As he said this, Yila looked at the succubus maid waiting with a water basin nearby and instructed, "Don’t rush to wipe Satan Ye’s body... For now, I’ll leave Satan Ye to you all."

After speaking, Yila vanished from Satan Ye’s room after chanting [Void Wing Pillar·Tikapu·Wing Spread]. In a flash, he returned through the door.

The whole process only took a few minutes, as Satan Ye had just closed her eyes, unable to communicate with the succubus maid.

In everyone’s view, Yila entered with Ernie. However, from their perspective, Wenresa Iluvita and a human woman were also present... Apart from Leonard, who was still on his way to Demon King Territory, almost everyone Yila had good relationships with was present.

It was evident that Yila indeed cared about Satan Ye.

""Mm... Body’s boiling hot, right?"

Ernie said, shaking her head under everyone’s gaze, "I’m not sure what’s happening, but the symptoms resemble a human’s high fever. Is she cold? Has she eaten something unclean?"

*Indeed, there are just a few causes for fever. But as the Demon King, with Hilena and the maids’ meticulous care, it’s absurd for Satan Ye to catch a cold or eat dirty food.*

*Satan Ye wasn’t a messy child.*

Ernie was clearly unreliable, and the blank-faced human woman wasn’t helpful... In crucial moments, Wenresa was slightly more reliable. Making a simple assessment, she said, "It’s a bloodline awakening."

Hearing Wenresa Iluvita’s voice from the void, Satan Ye showed a surprised expression, gasping for air while reaching towards the sound... but she grasped nothing.

Before Yila could ask [what is a bloodline awakening?], Wenresa, who disliked leaving sentences unfinished, immediately explained, "This phenomenon isn’t rare among mixed-blood races."

"Let me give a Half-Elf as an example. When a Half-Elf encounters certain situations, like being recognized by the World Tree, its Elven bloodline strength tier might completely replace the human influence... leading to a bloodline awakening phenomenon."

"As Wenresa Iluvita spoke, she looked toward Satan Ye and said, "It’s not necessarily bad, but it does carry some risk; so it’s also not entirely good... The Crimson Demon Dragon bloodline is gradually overtaking the Silver Dragon part."

Regarding what sounded like a topic on Mana Genetics, Yila wasn’t particularly versed. He simply asked, "If there’s risk involved, how do I eliminate it?"

For the straightforward question, Wenresa gave several concise answers—

"Ask her parents. If they don’t know, see if there’s any record in the books; Starlight Body might also know, or you could ask them ... Or leave it alone; the mortality rate for bloodline awakening is very low, about one in a thousand might die."

But even with such odds, Yila wasn’t willing to take the risk.

""Thank you." Yila said.

"It’s fine~" Satan Ye said.

Yila went silent.

"Not fine at all!"

Yila retorted, gently flicking Satan Ye’s forehead, saying, "I’ll call Hilena over, then I’ll visit the theocratic country. If that doesn’t work... I’ll go straight to Dragon Realm to ask your mother."

*After all, Satan Ye’s father had already died. Even if he hadn’t, he probably couldn’t be relied upon. That guy wouldn’t possibly know, nor would he consider such matters.*

* (Favignano: ...) *

Upon hearing Yila’s words, Satan Ye blinked... Dragon Realm?

Satan Ye struggled to keep her eyes open, eager to raise her hand in a volunteering gesture, saying, "I want to go too, I want to go too!"

But almost immediately, she received Yila’s rebuttal, already anticipating her reaction, "No, you’re not going. I’m going to Dragon Realm just to clarify your bloodline awakening... After that, we’ll go together."

"Alright~"
