Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2570

"Oh yes, I need to imprint on it." Darryl remembered and hastily cut his finger, dripping his blood onto the dragon egg. Little did he realize that the soul within the dragon egg belonged to Jewel and she would have followed him for life even without imprinting.

Instantly, a blinding light was emitted from the dragon egg that lit up the entire side hall, signalling the success of imprinting. A relieved smile appeared on Darryl's face but deep down, he was not overly thrilled as he was reminded of the scene where he imprinted Rocky ten years ago in an underground private room at the Incandescent Sect. He had thought at the time that Rocky would be by his side for the rest of his life, it was least expected for Rocky to end up getting killed in cold blood by Laura Hanson just as it was close to breakthrough to its peak strength. He had shared so much with Rocky that it was no longer an enchanted beast, but his family. That was why despite the familiar feeling he felt from the dragon egg before him, he still couldn't help but miss Rocky.

"Snap!"

Just as Darryl was drowning in his own thoughts, a crisp sound of eggshell cracking was heard. Cracks began to appear on the surface and soon a hole was opened up, followed by an adorable little head that squeezed through the hole. It was a charming baby dragon. It had pale green skin and because it was still in its birth state, its scales had yet to develop. Its blue eyes reflected the lights that came into the room as it looked around. It was indescribably enduring.

Both surprised and excited, Darryl took the baby dragon into his hand so delicately as though he was scared he would drop it. The baby dragon looked intently at Darryl like it's known him for a very long time. It squeaked and leaned into Darryl with its tiny head. Indeed, the baby dragon's soul once belonged to Jewel. Diaochan had merged her soul into the dragon egg with a special technique and hence, Jewel's soul still existed within the realm and was overwhelmed with joy at the sight of Darryl. However, dragons were the most powerful enchanted beast in the world with long lifespan and formidable powers. Their growth could be extremely slow in the eyes of a mortal and so it was normal that it couldn't speak at the moment.

"Huh? By Diaochan?" Zhu Bajie jumped in shock as he tried to process that piece of information. ‘Dragons are the most powerful legendary creature known to human history. What is Diaochan doing, giving it away to Darryl instead of imprinting on it herself?’ he thought.

Sensing Zhu Bajie's disbelief, Darryl chuckled before changing the subject and asked, "By the way, Brother Zhu, you said earlier that you've gotten updates, how was it? Are the Carter Family and Jewel alright?"
