Liao Ning’s eyes widened in astonishment as she gazed at the elder. The elder’s eyes radiated kindness and affection as they met hers.
With a tender touch, the elder gently stroked Liao Ning’s hair. “Your white hair is truly exquisite, much like your mother’s.”
Liao Ning was taken aback. “You… can you see my true appearance?” She felt a mixture of surprise and trust towards the Sea Demon elder.
The elder responded with a warm smile. “It’s not just you. There’s another, too.
The Multi-Feather Butterfly possesses the power to deceive, but my Sea
Demon elder’s eyes can pierce through illusions.”
Liao Ning observed the elder’s deep blue eyes and sensed an unspoken connection to her clan. Perhaps this was the inexplicable bond she felt with her own people.
“Don’t fret. With your mother gone, apart from me, I’m afraid you’re the only one who can perceive the truth. No one else can glimpse your genuine self.”
The elder, still recovering, let out a cough after speaking a few words. Liao Ning hurriedly assisted her in reclining.
“I’m alright,” the elder reassured her with a wave of her hand.
Contemplating the current state of affairs among the Deep Sea Demons, Liao Ning hesitated momentarily.
She asked with a hint of uncertainty, “Was my mother a Sea Demon? Was she the Patriarch? Then what happened to her… I’m sorry, I’m not sure how to respond.”
Aware that her background had been bestowed upon her by the system, Liao Ning was unsure of her next steps. However, one thing was clear: her mission in this world was to prevent the two young rebels from embracing evil. Everything else seemed secondary.
The elder sighed. “If it weren’t for the antidote and your appearance, I wouldn’t have been certain of your identity as the Patriarch’s daughter. Sea Demon blood possesses the power of purification, but it’s most potent in pure-blooded Patriarchs and elders. Therefore, upon taking the antidote, I immediately recognized you as the Patriarch’s offspring.”
Liao Ning pressed her lips together, grappling with a flood of emotions and questions, unsure of what to say next.
Zhou Ling was quick to inquire, “Is knowledge of the Patriarch’s bloodline a well-guarded secret among the Sea Demons, or do all the clan members possess this information?”
The elder, though puzzled by Zhou Ling’s question, trusted that Liao Ning had chosen to keep him informed and thus nodded in affirmation.
“The Deep Sea Galaxy Water carries a certain level of toxicity. Sea demons have command over the sea, but only the Patriarch can purify this poison. There’s also myself, an aging elder.”
A hint of sorrow played on her face. “However, I’m getting on in years, and I haven’t identified a younger generation member with the potential to become an elder. Mika’s bloodline has imperfections, and we’ve been patiently awaiting the Patriarch’s return.”
She gently clasped Liao Ning’s hand. “Dear child, the Patriarch possesses the capability to rectify bloodline flaws and select the next elder.”
“But I’m unsure if I possess such abilities, ” Liao Ning admitted hesitantly.
“Moreover, I cannot transform. I haven’t been able to since I was young. The Liao family can shift into wolves, but I cannot. Additionally, I’ve never undergone the transformation into a sea demon.”
Despite never having transformed, Liao Ning appeared to share some resemblance with most sea demons.
“It appears the Patriarch did leave with him after all,” the elder mused thoughtfully. “The two pure bloodlines tend to suppress each other, so you may not be able to transform immediately. Nevertheless, this isn’t a concern. You’ve returned, and as long as you possess the Heart Crystal, it can awaken your latent powers. You will be able to transform and wield the abilities of the sea demons. ”
Liao Ning conversed with the elder about Deep-sea Planet and the Sea Demons before departing from the sea demon race’s castle.
Mika graciously accompanied them back to the airship. “Worry not; I will send the fuel tomorrow morning. If you have any other requests, don’t hesitate to ask! ”
The awakening of the elder was a stroke of good fortune for the sea demon race, and they all gazed upon Liao Ning and her companions with profound gratitude.
However, Liao Ning had no intention of departing immediately. With the newfound ability to transform, her mission was halfway complete. Furthermore, she no longer needed to worry about being powerless in certain situations.
Furthermore, she had numerous system missions to complete and the responsibility of overseeing the affairs of the Liao family. Avoiding transformation was simply not an option.
Zhou Ling, perceptive as ever, led Liao Ning to the lounge and inquired, “Do you intend to assist the elder in reclaiming the Heart Crystal? What are your intentions
