"A drop of blood?" Yabemiya was a little perplexed as she turned to Elizabeth.
"I want to verify something. If you don't want to, then I won't force you." Elizabeth nodded.
Yabemiya looked at Elizabeth and hesitated momentarily before mustering up the courage to ask, "You're a dragon; are you trying to help me find my father?"
"You can think of it that way, but I'm just trying to verify something for myself. I can't promise that I'll help you find your father." Elizabeth nodded before shaking her head.
"Alright, I'll do whatever you need." Yabemiya nodded and extended her hand.
"I don't know why you're looking for Mia, but I still want to ask why you're looking for her." Sally stood in front of Yabemiya and asked Elizabeth, who was making her way toward them.
"I can't tell you that, but I can promise you that I bear no ill will toward her." Elizabeth stopped in her tracks and looked at Sally with a serious expression.
Sally stared into Elizabeth's eyes for a while before stepping aside. Dragons were a proud race, so they wouldn't lie for no good reason.
Elizabeth made her way over to Yabemiya, and a thin ice needle appeared on her fingertip. She looked into Yabemiya's expectant and nervous eyes, then pricked her fingertip with the ice needle.
"Ah ~"
Yabemiya let loose a faint moan, but quickly suppressed it. She looked at the drop of golden blood that slowly rose from her fingertip, and her eyes widened with incredulity.
The drop of golden blood was enshrouded in a layer of translucent ice, and it slowly rose until it was level with Elizabeth's eyes.
"A golden bloodline. It's surprisingly pure. The bloodline of a Golden Dragon is also golden, but if you're a Golden Dragon, then the bloodline power within your bloodline should be even more powerful." Y'lisabet looked at the blood bead in front of her with a puzzled look in her eyes. Her left hand gently swiped the ring on her right hand, and a palm-sized silver crystal fell into her hand. She then threw it out, and it landed just below the blood bead, and it also floated in mid-air.
The drop of blood suddenly lost its support, and it plummeted to the ground before exploding on top of the silver crystal. The drop of golden blood scattered in all directions and was absorbed by the silver crystal.
"Hum ~"
The crystal, which was glowing with a faint silver light, suddenly lit up and began to spin rapidly.
A ray of light shot out from the crystal like a projector, and an image appeared in the air.
The image gradually became clearer, and a sweet-looking woman appeared. She looked to be about thirty years old, and she was wearing an old floral dress. Although her face was a little pale, it was still difficult to hide the gentleness and delicacy in her eyes.
"Mother!"
Yabemiya looked at the woman in the image, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward. She stared at her in a daze, and tears were already flowing down her cheeks.
"How could this be?" Elizabeth was also surprised when she saw this. She had gone back to the Dragon Island to get the Photographic Stone. Its special effect was that it could reveal the origin of one's bloodline through blood. That was why Yabemiya gave her a drop of blood.
But now, the Photographic Stone only showed the image of a woman. That was not normal at all.
But when she saw Yabemiya's expression, her gaze softened. If it was her mother who appeared in the image, she would be even happier. She had even forgotten what her mother looked like. The Photographic Stone would not show her mother's face.
The Photographic Stone didn't last for long, and the image gradually darkened. In the end, a dragon-shaped shadow appeared for a moment, but it disappeared in a flash. It was so blurry that only a rough outline could be seen. It was impossible to tell what kind of dragon it was.
"Sorry, it seems that my bloodline is not pure enough. I can't tell what kind of bloodline I have." Yabemiya stared at the image for a while before coming to her senses. She looked at Elizabeth with an apologetic expression. There were still two streaks of tears on her face, and she looked very pitiful.
"It's okay. Perhaps you are a very special existence. We may meet again." Elizabeth shook her head. Although her voice was cold, there was no blame in it. However, she could not hide the disappointment in her eyes. She put away the Photographic Stone, turned around, and left. A large snowflake rose from under her feet, and she disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Yabemiya stared blankly in the direction Elizabeth had disappeared. After a while, she suddenly began to sob.
"Mia, it's okay. Your father will come back for you." Sally looked at Yabemiya and hesitated momentarily before patting Yabemiya's shoulder in a consoling manner.
"Aisha, am I useless? I don't even know what my father looks like, where he is, and what kind of person he is," Yabemiya sobbed as she looked at Sally.
Sally shook her head, and looked at Yabemiya with a serious expression as she said, "Of course not. It's not your fault. He didn't let you see what he looks like, and he never told you anything about himself. You're not the useless one. If he comes back to you one day, perhaps you can ask him whose fault it is."
"Aisha, you're the best." Yabemiya immediately dove into Sally's arms, and sobbed as she said, "I saw my mother. It's been so many years, and I've almost forgotten what she looks like. She's still the same …"
Sally spread open her arms, and her stiff expression gradually softened as she listened to Yabemiya's words. She slowly hugged Yabemiya, and patted her back gently. She didn't say anything, and simply listened to her.
"There's no way a dragon bloodline that's been suppressed by a human bloodline could be a Golden Dragon. The Golden Dragon bloodline is no less inferior to the Frost Dragon bloodline, so there's no way she's her … It's a pity …" Elizabeth murmured to herself as she walked down a long alley. She suddenly turned to the side, and her eyes narrowed slightly. A translucent ice scimitar appeared in her hand, and she pushed open the door beside her.
…
"The final rankings of the Aden Square food competition this month are going to be announced today. I wonder if there'll be any big changes."
"Tsk, what else could there be? It'll definitely be based on yesterday's rankings. It's the last day; there's no way any restaurant will be able to make it into the top 30."
Under the magic screen in the Aden Square, many people were waiting for the official announcement of this month's Aden Square food competition.
"What a pity. Mamy's should've made it into the top 100 with all five of her dishes, but she didn't make it off the rankings. I don't think there's any need for this ranking anymore," Harrison sighed in a forlorn manner.
"Indeed, what a pity." Gjerj nodded in agreement.
"This is great, Boss! Our restaurant is definitely going to take 29th place this time! Business is going to be even better next month! "The employee turned to Ricky with an excited expression.
"Of course! I told you that our rotisserie would definitely take 29th place this month." Ricky was also unable to contain his excitement, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the flashing rankings board.
"Mamy's made it onto the rankings board again!"
