Chapter 1109 - It Could Have Been Worse (1/2)

While Hua Lin Yu was acting shy, Huo Cheng and Huo Hai were once again at a loss of words. Their whole idea of the situation had been based on the fact that they thought Xin Lan was actually their little junior's uncle. Now, it turned out that all of this had just been a misunderstanding.

They … should probably accept him now? Both of them pondered that conjecture and their expressions worsened. No, they still felt uncomfortable with the situation. They might not have a reason yet but there definitely was one! They just refused to believe that that wild man was good enough for their little junior.

”So you're not blood-related.”

Hua Lin Yu nodded happily. ”Not at all! He's not even human.”

The two Huo brothers stared at him, unable to understand what was going on for a moment. He … ”What do you mean? He isn't human?”

”Well, he's of the dragon race. Isn't that obvious?” He had known even back then that Xin Lan wasn't human since he had never made a secret out of that and his family had also been pretty open. But even if he hadn't, he had lived in the Jian Yi Sect for the past decade. He had learned a lot not only about cultivation but also about the different immortal and semi-immortal races.

The kind of appearance that Xin Lan had was obviously not that of a human. Even if cultivators would look young even at a higher age as long as they had reached the corresponding stage early on in life or used some pills and potions to revert some aging if that wasn't the case, there was still a difference between them and the other races.

Humans just … looked decidedly human. Xin Lan though … He obviously didn't. That kind of silvery-white hair just didn't appear in the human race. Not to mention that he often didn't bother hiding his claws. Even today, he hadn't actually retracted them when they met. To him, that was only a bother and he might even feel like it was beneath him to hide his race's features around humans.

Hua Lin Yu really couldn't understand why his senior martial brothers were so surprised. Shouldn't they have noticed as well?

Huo Cheng and Huo Hai exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat torn when they heard that. Not being human might generally be a problem but from what their Master told them, dragons tended to be monogamous just like humans and their moral compass was pretty similar as well.

That kind of person would probably be a good fit. But … how could they just give their little junior away? There had to be something wrong with that guy!
