First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Daughter?!

The little girl tilted her head cutely, clearly perplexed as she blinked at him. After considering for a moment, she asked innocently again, "Then should I call you papa?"

Orion immediately felt a surge of internal despair and frustration, the corners of his mouth twitching even more violently.

He had barely stepped into adulthood and hadn’t had any bed action, yet here he was, suddenly saddled with the responsibility of a little girl calling him papa.

He took a deep breath to calm himself, his voice carrying a helpless resignation, "No, you can call me Big Brother Orion. I’m neither your mama nor your papa."

She stared up at him with an adorably stubborn gaze, pursing her small lips slightly. It was clear she wasn’t entirely convinced.

Orion felt another wave of helplessness wash over him, remembering the moment the little girl hatched from that enormous, cursed egg.

At that time, Orion had no idea how to react, everything he knew about reality seemed to shatter. Especially when she first called him daddy, his heart nearly stopped from sheer panic.

He wanted to steel his heart and leave her behind to someone more qualified to care for a child, but the bitter irony was that he didn’t even possess the strength to abandon her.

Using the Eye of Revelation, he had discovered that she was born directly as an Exalted Grade being, a truly unbelievable existence.

Just glimpsing further details about her origins or nature required an astronomical amount of SP that Orion wasn’t currently willing to sacrifice, or rather he didn’t have that much.

Resigned to this reality, Orion had accepted his fate. The silver lining was that her presence cleanly repelled any mana beast along their path, allowing them to travel peacefully and swiftly. Within just a few days, they had already entered the outskirts of the Thunderpeak Kingdom.

Despite this fortunate turn of events, Orion couldn’t quite summon the strength to be happy. His heart was still crying out internally, ’Ahh! Who did I provoke to end up stuck with this disaster?! Why am I forced to become a caretaker for this child?!’

Lumi, meanwhile, took immense delight in Orion’s internal torment, teasing him relentlessly. Her mischievous laughter echoed frequently in his mind,

[Hahahahaha! Master, you really need to man up and accept responsibility! You poured your essence into that egg, she’s technically half yours whether you admit it or not. (¬‿¬)]

As if to reinforce Lumi’s words, the little girl peered up at him curiously once more, her green eyes sparkling earnestly. "Big Brother?" she repeated thoughtfully, then shook her head decisively, smiling sweetly, "But I really like calling you papa!"

Orion nearly stumbled again, tears threatening to form in the corners of his eyes from sheer helplessness. They had this discussion countless times already, but the little girl hadn’t budged a single inch in the past few days.

In his Sea of Consciousness, Orion couldn’t help but inwardly lament, ’We still don’t know her species, and I honestly don’t get how any creature can hatch at the Exalted Grade! This is ridiculous!’

Lumi giggled knowingly,

[Hehe, you don’t need to vent your frustration by sounding ignorant, Master. Beings nurtured in exceptional environments or left to develop over countless years can naturally be born at higher cultivation grades. Even among the Dragon Clan, there are dragons who hatch directly at Exalted or higher grades.]

[Some dragons with diluted bloodlines might never even reach that level throughout their lifetimes. Clearly, she must have remained dormant in that cave for an unimaginably long period, absorbing energy and nurturing herself to an extreme level, resulting in her astonishing birth grade. But her Origins must not be simple since she can be born directly at Exalted Grade. Her future achievements should at least reach the limit of this world.]

Hearing Lumi’s explanation, Orion merely shook his head softly, deciding it wasn’t worth the headache to dwell on the matter further.
