This time, Jona Velli did not sense any traces of lying.
She soon realized that the person before her likely knew nothing of her own background.
It made sense; if she knew, she wouldn't be this weak.
Yes, weak. Jona Velli could clearly sense that her bloodline hadn't been activated, which was why she was only at the Diamond rank.
Activating her bloodline was actually quite simple: beat her to the brink of death to trigger her potential.
Or, subject her to immense mental anguish.
Alternatively, capture a Demon and have her absorb its blood to break the internal balance, triggering the "purge evil" command etched into the genes of the Angel bloodline.
This way, both bloodlines would be fully activated, and her strength would be elevated to a terrifying level.
But that was for later; Jona Velli felt that if she activated her power now, she might not be able to stop her.
After all, Angels, Demons, and Dragons were all top-tier races.
"Continue. You cannot deceive me."
"Okay..."
Ai Fa Ni Er stole a glance at Jona Velli. With just one look, she felt that Jona Velli's demeanor bore a striking resemblance to a figure in her memories.
But she didn't dare think too much or look too long, answering honestly instead.
"I... my true name is Ai Fa Ni Er Yizeliya. It is... the name etched into my soul."
Her father had once warned her never to reveal her name easily.
She wanted to keep it secret, but she felt that if she didn't speak, the Dragon before her might kill her.
Ai Fa Ni Er didn't know that she was actually very hard to kill.
How terrifying!
And there was another reason: she felt that Jona Velli was a bit like her mother, of whom she had few memories.
"Continue."
"Okay..."
Ai Fa Ni Er took on a reminiscent look.
"I come from a human kingdom, but I've forgotten exactly where it was.
I only remember there were slaves, so many slaves and servants, and they sold lots of delicious food, though I rarely got to eat any.
In my memories, Father was always tall. I often saw him wearing a dark robe and a crucifix necklace, with a bottle always hanging from his waist.
And Mother was a virtuous blonde woman who often wore a plain white dress. She loved to smile, and I loved watching her smile.
Mother was very gentle; she often helped me dress and told me stories.
But she was also very anxious, often knitting her brows and looking up at the blue sky.
She would mutter, 'I hope they haven't woken up yet. I will explain everything to the Lord. Chrysler is special.'
Whenever that happened, Father would go to comfort Mother."
As she spoke, Jona Velli could clearly sense the nostalgia, reminiscence, and longing in Ai Fa Ni Er's voice.
Ai Fa Ni Er was lost in her memories; those were among the few precious moments she had from her childhood.
Seeing Ai Fa Ni Er dazed, Jona Velli cleared her throat.
"Ahem, continue."
Hearing Jona Velli, Ai Fa Ni Er snapped out of it. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jona Velli's expression change abruptly.
"This... this is!"
Jona Velli looked down at herself in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
"Is it because of [Weekend]? Damn... I didn't expect it to be this fast."
Saying this, Jona Velli quickly deactivated the [Weekend] passive.
But she already felt a slight sensation. Her expression was very unnatural, and her breathing grew heavier.
Her legs pressed together instinctively, and she looked around uneasily.
Seeing Jona Velli like this, Ai Fa Ni Er looked confused.
"White Dragon Lord? What... what's wrong?"
Ai Fa Ni Er watched Jona Velli nervously, sensing that something was wrong with her.
Jona Velli waved her hand.
"It's nothing. You... you continue."
Jona Velli quickly adjusted her posture. Such things could be endured until they passed.
"Oh, okay."
"Those days lasted until one day, when everything changed after a group of people wearing loose white-and-gold robes arrived.
That day, Mother was restless, and Father looked tense.
At noon that day, the sun was brighter than usual, even blinding.
I was playing in the garden when a beautiful music suddenly rang out from the sky. It was sacred, sounding so divine that it smoothed away all anxiety, making one lose themselves in it.
Then, a group of people in white-and-gold robes descended from the sky. They had two pairs of pure white wings, looking holy and inviolable."
At this point, Jona Velli roughly understood what had happened. Most likely, an Angel couldn't bear the loneliness, sneaked down to the mortal realm for fun, and fell in love with a Demon.
"A love story between an Angel and a Demon? Truly interesting, but... why did this happen? How strange."
Jona Velli began to ponder, but since she lacked more details and history, she couldn't reach a definitive conclusion.
Meanwhile, Ai Fa Ni Er seemed immersed in her story and continued on her own.
"Even though those people were beautiful, they were bad.
They barged into my home and started beating my father without a word. Even my mother was bound by golden chains.
I was so scared. Finally, they looked at me, and my father grabbed one of their ankles, begging them not to hurt me."
"In the end, they left, taking away my support. I was also driven out by a group of cultists, even expelled from the human kingdom.
Out of desperation, I came to the Jesup Continent."
After finishing, Ai Fa Ni Er's eyes were slightly moist.
She hadn't seen her parents in decades.
Receiving no response, she looked up at Jona Velli, only to be dazed by what she saw.
She saw that beautiful dragon tail... devilish steps... rubbing... (Suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, boohoo)
Noticing Ai Fa Ni Er's shocked gaze, a faint, abnormal flush appeared on Jona Velli's small face.
"I understand the situation. From now on, White Crystal City is your new home."
"This is a contract. Sign it and you live; refuse, and you die."
As she spoke, Jona Velli urgently condensed a contract.
Seeing the contract and Jona Velli's urgent manner, Ai Fa Ni Er decisively signed it.
"In a moment, a Dragon-blooded Kobold will come to find you. When that happens..."
Before she could finish, Jona Velli irritably pinched her own arm.
Her fair arm turned red from the pinch.
"Damn it..."
Muttering to herself, Jona Velli spread her wings and fled quickly.
She transformed into her true form mid-air, used [Weekend] to speed up, and flew far away.
Watching the massive white Dragon fly away, Ai Fa Ni Er still hadn't processed what had happened.
"What on earth... happened?"
