Veridia looked at Ryu, speechless.

For one, this boy had just admitted to having the Chaotic Silk Meridians, and that was its own can of worms. Although she was a beast and they didn't have the same talent system or structures, how could she not know the value of this pair of Meridians?

Even Selheira was surprised because Ryu had never told her exactly what his talents were. She could vaguely feel them, but she didn't know the exact specifics.

In fact, whether it was Veridia, Lysander or Selheira, they all thought that Ryu's Embryonic Qi was a product of a lucky encounter and not something he could quite literally produce with his body.

Other than his Spacetime Soul Nature and his Dao, much of everything else about Ryu was a mystery to her. And even then, she still thought that Ryu only had a Space Soul Nature and she wasn't aware of the time portions at all.

Suddenly, Selheira smiled. It seemed that Ryu wasn't trying to hide such things from her, they just didn't come up in conversation so there was no need to care so much about it all.

"Boy, do you have any idea what you're saying right now?"

"Of course I do," Ryu nodded. "But I just got a master to back me, if I don't take advantage, won't I be wasting her good will?"

Veridia's gaze sharpened as she suddenly realized something. Her son-in-law's name was Ryu, could his last name be...?

"You're the Tatsuya."

"Yes, that's my name," Ryu nodded.

"You're a Fire Dragon."

"I'm a human." 𝑓𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"You're a Fire Dragon," Veridia repeated. "If the Dragon Emperor knew your name, he probably wouldn't have let you go so easily."

Ryu frowned. "Why's that?"

"Because of who your great grandfather is."

Ryu's expression became placid. He had heard that he had a weird lineage, but he didn't really understand how that could be possible.

He had learned earlier that his lineage was a bit odd, but Primus was from Sacrum. If he wasn't from Sacrum, it was impossible that he would be able to live for the trillions of years he had, at least not without becoming a Dao God first.

It didn't make any sense.

But since this was the second person who was telling him this, it would be foolish of him to ignore it.

"Can you explain this matter to me? I'm not aware of these matters."

Veridia blinked then looked Ryu up and down.

"... Primus was born in the True Martial World. He left because he fell in love with a woman of a smaller world and he shed away his foundation, weakening it considerably so that he could match their lifespans. His wife died and he chose to return many years later."

Ryu frowned. This was the first he had heard of such a thing, but wasn't this Fire Dragon mother-in-law of his a bit too straight forward? He understood getting right to the point, but shedding away all the details like that made it feel like the entire story had no context at all.

"Can you explain... more than that?" Ryu asked, his lip twitching. He wasn't used to asking people questions, let alone fishing for them.

Veridia frowned. "I don't like speaking in his human-"

"Mother, husband understand Dragon Tongue, just speak in it."

"Are you sure? Dragon Tongue spoken by me could kill him."

"Husband will be fine."

Veridia hesitated then began to speak again.

"Primus isn't a human, he's a real Dragon. In fact, he was once meant to become our Dragon Emperor. Unlike Pyrothos who was obsessed with battle, though, Primus has always been obsessed with experimentation, of breaking the shackles of our Bloodlines and improving them further. He was more of a craftsman than a Dragon, and his approach was incredibly odd for a Fire Dragon to have. Just by virtue of his existence, he shouldn't have had an interest in such things, but he forged his Dao down a... novel path.

"His studies took him across Existence and he visited many worlds. This left many of the elders feeling extraordinarily unhappy because in order to do this, he was always restraining his cultivation and limiting its strength so that he wouldn't be rejected by these worlds.

"Unfortunately, even with all of this, there was still no one in Primus' generation capable of defeating him, even when he was multiple cultivation levels below him. His innovation in combat and in the methods of applying our Bloodline Talents were akin to something never before seen. freewe(b)novel

"In fact, it could be said that it was because of Primus' existence that the elders felt the Crystal Dragons were no longer necessary. There was no need for the Crystal Dragons to potentially be a thorn or hidden pitfall at their side if Primus could do their job even better than them while also being of their lineage.

"During one of his expeditions, though, Primus met and fell in love with a woman. It was said that she was a mortal, and after meeting Primus, she managed to become a Dao God through the Great Art of Painting. It turned out that Primus was the inspiration she needed to take that step and she was Blessed by the Heavens with a never before seen physique.

"Primus used this as his own inspiration, breaking free of the shackles of beasthood completely and became a human with a Dragon Bloodline rather than a pure Dragon.

"However, rather than taking advantage of this new path, one that was undoubtedly astoundingly powerful, he chose to use his new flexibility to do away with much of his foundation, living out his days with his new wife.

"Dragons do not have surnames. However, Primus created one of his own, which is why Tatsuya literally translates to Dragon. I guess in this facet, he wasn't very creative.

"Unfortunately, Primus' efforts were mostly useless. After a short time relative to what he thought he would get after such a sacrifice, his wife died."
