Chapter 49 Part 2

This time, Shen Changze woke up after sleeping for a day and a half, just as before. It seemed that the duration of his unconsciousness was directly proportional to the energy expended during his transformation.

Tang Tingzhi took Shan Ming and Shen Changze to a separate room and got straight to the point. “You had contact with William House in the United States, right?”

“You know him.”

“Of course, he’s one of the more successful Dragon Blood Kins cultivated in the United States. Although his blood purity isn’t particularly high, his personal training has made him more formidable than many Dragon Blood Kin with higher purity.”

“The strength of Dragon Blood Kin is determined by blood purity?”

“To a large extent, yes. However, it also depends on one’s innate talent and training. But, blood purity does possess inherent advantages. Take you for an example,” Tang Tingzhi looked at the child. “You are the only Dragon Blood Kin whose blood purity comes closest to that of the Sea Dragon. Your scales are a light golden color, providing optimal hardness and flexibility. Your blood pH level is closest to 0, making it the most acidic among all Dragon Blood Kins. Your wound healing ability surpasses that of other Dragon Blood Kins. As you grow older and undergo training, your strength, speed, reaction time, and even cognitive development will far exceed those of other Dragon Blood Kins. In fact… we predict that your dragon wings can grow to a size sufficient for flight, something that other Dragon Blood Kins cannot achieve. This is the genetic advantage you possess. No one can compare to you.”

The two of them were a bit stunned. These seemingly miraculous abilities and characteristics, if they hadn’t experienced them firsthand, would be difficult for anyone to believe.

Shen Changze said, “Am I really the only one? Why?”

“Of course. His significance to the country is even greater than you can imagine. We couldn’t simply let him be. However, to avoid triggering negative emotions in him, we refrained from taking action and instead observed from the shadows. I know you hold hostility towards me, which hinders our communication with him. We need a soldier who is loyal to the country and its people, not someone who sees us as enemies and monsters. Since no matter how I explain it, you won’t understand, I can only wait for you to realize my true intentions on your own.”

The child coldly responded, “Do you think that knowing your intentions would make me let my guard down? What makes you any different from House?”

“Of course there is a difference. You are Chinese, and your parents were once loyal to the country. They simply succumbed to personal emotions. You should strive to restore the honor of your parents and serve the country. This is your destiny, and the purpose of your existence.”

Shan Ming exclaimed sternly, “Bullshit, spare us your righteous preaching, you have no right to dictate how others should live, unless you can defeat him yourself.”

Tang Tingzhi lowered his gaze and replied, “I cannot defeat him. As I’ve said before, the country needs a loyal soldier, not a monster filled with opposing emotions.”

The child responded, “Then why are you wasting your time? I don’t believe you. If even my parents didn’t want me to fall into your hands, then they must have had my best interests in mind.”

“They were too weak. They succumbed to parental emotions. They hoped for you to grow up as an ordinary person, which is simply naive. You can never be an ordinary person.”

“It’s not up to you to decide what kind of person I want to be!” the child exclaimed fiercely. “And my parents… where… where are they?”

“I cannot disclose this information unless you return to China with me.”

“No way!” both of them exclaimed simultaneously.

Tang Tingzhi closed his eyes and let out a sigh. “Alright, let’s change the topic. Tell me about your previous transformation. How did it feel?”

Shan Ming remained silent for a moment and then replied, “It felt like gaining superhuman strength. My wounds healed incredibly fast. Initially, I would go into a rage, attacking anyone I see, without recognizing anyone. After waking up, I don’t remember it at all. Now, I can stay conscious during the transformation, but I still experience periods of unconsciousness afterward.”

“Mn, these are all normal reactions. Every Dragon Blood Kin goes through such stages. So far, what were the triggers for your transformations? Have they all been due to your life being threatened?”

The child was stunned for a second, feeling a slight warmth on his cheeks. He knew that it wasn’t just when his life was being threatened, but he didn’t want to mention the fact that he transforms when he has thoughts about his dad. He felt that he will be done for if he said that.

Tang Tingzhi continued, “Apart from Dragon Blood Kins who have gained self-control through training, the triggers for involuntary transformations typically involve medication, life-threatening situations, extreme anger, and sexual impulses. These are all very instinctual and understandable. I knew that we will meet soon because firstly, the nature of the business you are involved in constantly puts your life at risk. Secondly, you will start experiencing sexual impulses at ages twelve to thirteen the latest, and now the earliest. Sooner or later, you will discover your true identity, and when that happens, you will undoubtedly need my help.”

Shen Changze was taken aback by the repeated mention of sexual impulses.

He has sexual impulses… toward his dad?

Why… why is this? This shouldn’t be. Despite scraping through all the knowledge he had learned, there was never any book that could explain having developed sexual impulses towards his own dad. He knew it was wrong, unacceptable, and shameful. He couldn’t even comprehend why such thoughts would arise within him. At that moment, he felt overwhelmed by guilt and fear.

Tang Tingzhi glanced at him, sensing confusion in his eyes, and explained, “The first few triggers are easily understandable, right? As for the last one, you don’t need to feel ashamed. Sex is inherently a highly stimulating activity. If you have studied related knowledge, you should know that males exhibit extraordinary courage when seeking a mate. This is all thanks to sexual hormones. Given that reproduction is an animal instinct, you don’t have to feel guilty about your physiological desires. It’s simply one of the triggers for your transformations. However, I must warn you that a Dragon Blood Kin without self-control cannot maintain their human form during sexual intercourse, and it’s easy to unintentionally harm their partner. Which is why I said that you will need my assistance.”

The child suddenly lifted their head and said, “You mean I’ll… I’ll…”

Tang Tingzhi nodded. “That’s right, you will transform into a Dragon Blood Kin during sexual intercourse. Although it’s a bit early to tell you this now, in a few years, this will become a serious matter.”

Shen Changze lowered his shoulders and glanced at Shan Ming with a perplexed expression.

Shan Ming felt that his gaze was somewhat strange, but he didn’t take it to heart. After all, having to turn into a monster as soon as he gets into bed was too damn unfortunate. Not only would it scare the women but there’s also a need to deal with the aftermath. What joy could there be in such a life?

The child lifted his head and asked, “How are you going to help me?”

Tang Tingzhi supported himself with both hands on the table and looked at him earnestly. “Come back to China with me.”
