Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 16 - Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Mommy Vyvyan also soon woke up . Well, not exactly soon, since she was out until night time . Although I still had my flesh, my scales felt a little stiff at night . My limbs and fingers felt stiff when I moved about .

I sat next to the fire . Vyvyan and the dragon did their best to stay as far away from each other as possible . Vyvyan still didn’t like the dragon whatsoever . Instead, Vyvyan was brimming with hostility toward Dragon Mom . If I wasn’t present, she probably would’ve attacked her . Mommy Vyvyan was apologetic to me, because she nearly strangled me to death . She was very scared and even afraid of getting close to me as a result .

I didn’t intend to make a fuss over it . In fact, my feelings for Mommy Vyvyan hadn’t changed in the least . For me, nothing she ever did was unforgivable . To the contrary, it was me who was in the wrong in the first place . Fortunately, she was feeling guilty toward me, so the three of us could sit together in peace .

With that said, the dragon was always unfriendly to Vyvyan, but that couldn’t be any more normal . Vyvyan did team up with Ying and kill her once, after all . Nobody would like the person who murdered them . As for Ying, the dragon was even more vigilant of her, since Ying was able to pierce her scales that she was proud of .

Ying was very obedient next to me . She did ask that we get back to the lighthouse as soon as possible, since Xia’s body was there . Ying was afraid something bad would happen if she was separated from her body for too long . While there was nobody else present, she was still very worried without her most important person by her side .

I looked at the stuff in my hand . There was a black ball-shaped object . Actually, it wasn’t completely black but purple . It was unmoving . They were the organs that Dragon Mom left for me . Additionally, there was a yellow eyeball . My organs and eyes weren’t included in what she gave me . I pumped dragon blood around my elven organs . That meant the dragon blood wasn’t of much use to me .

“Son, this is a dragon’s heart . An elf’s heart isn’t that big in reality . If you continue using an elf’s heart, the function of the dragon’s blood won’t be that important . You need to switch yours out for a dragon’s in order for the dragon’s blood to take full effect . If possible… I can help you…”

Vyvyan seemed to have something she really wanted to say to me . She leaned in toward me . She looked at me somewhat fearfully and nervously, not daring to approach me and hug me . She appeared to worry that I’d push her away . Eyes on the heart in front of me, I asked, “What can this do for me…?”

“Immortality . ”

The dragon suddenly spoke up, leading to Vyvyan spitting as an expression of contempt . She angrily looked in the dragon’s direction: “I don’t care what business you have, you just shut up! I’m speaking to my son, understood?! He’s my son!!”

“It is my heart! Mine!” Dragon Mom almost roared at Vyvyan .

I didn’t think the dragon was in the wrong… It was what she left for me . Dragon Mom explained to me, “It does not provide you with immortality but a long lifespan, nevertheless . Thou are a dragon, so thou should have a dragon’s blood . By having a dragon’s blood, thou can have the lifespan of a dragon . ”

I nodded, and then looked to the heart in front of me . Previously, I was just an ordinary hybrid of elven and human genetics, and my lifespan was shorter than a human’s . I didn’t want a long lifespan, though . A long lifespan wasn’t a blessing but torture to me .

I saw Dragon Mom lose everything she loved due to her long lifespan . For me, who was initially human, a long lifespan wasn’t a very blissful thing . Having a short lifespan would make me cherish every moment . My lifespan might be short, but that was what gave value to all of the blissful things that happened around me . That was what would allow me to pass on with my eyes shut and a happy smile . A dragon’s lifespan might be long, but my moms, my wives and my children were whom I cherish . Without them, living was meaningless to me .

“If you use a dragon’s blood and heart, you’ll be able to heal most wounds . You’ll even be able to return from the dead as long as you have an intact corpse . Damaged organs can be repaired . Of course, that isn’t revival . It’s just turning you into a puppet of your own mana by using the dragon’s blood and heart . ” Vyvyan seemed to want to ingratiate herself with me . She did her best to explain the dragon’s heart to me at my side .

I spaced out as I looked at the dragon heart in front of me .

You could revive a dead person as long as you have a bit of mana, a heart and dragon blood . To be precise, they’d become a belonging of the mana supplied . That meant I could use my mana to activate the dragon’s heart, subsequently making the dragon’s blood flow . Then, I’d use the dragon’s blood to repair damaged organs and what have you . In other words, they’d basically become my slave . They weren’t alive, but they weren’t dead . Basically, they were an existence that I forcibly commanded to live .

“Come on, Son . Come . Mommy will help you put this heart inside, and you’ll have the lifespan of a dragon . You’ll be able to live as long as Mommy . You can live with Mommy forever . ”

Mommy Vyvyan seemed to be crazy about pleasing me . She looked at me with excitement . She tried to approach me and put the heart into my body .

“I’ll pass, Mom . ” I shook my head and placed the heart downIn a soft, but resolute voice, I explained, “A long lifespan is meaningless to me . In my opinion, life is about how you live, not how long you live . As you once said, not everybody once lives . Death is very simple . Mom, I’m not afraid to die . The only thing I’m worried about is being unable to live a perfect life . My meaning in life is my family . If they’re no longer in this world, I don’t have any desire to live . Further, I will do everything I can to do things as soon as possible, since I have a short life . ”

Mommy Vyvyan was stupefied . She didn’t expect me to reject the proposal . Everybody, particularly those who have families, wealth and power, will continuously search for a way to extend their life . That was just instinctual, and it applied to all species . You could only enjoy the beautiful things life had to offer if you were alive . You could only enjoy everything you had if you were alive . You spent so much time to acquire it all, which was why you need longer to enjoy it .

I didn’t want that, though . I wanted somebody else to live instead of extending my lifespan . I want to give my life to her; or should I say, return to her?

Luna once saved my life . She died, because she tried to protect me . I had always been very grateful for her sacrifice, but also very guilty . I never gave her anything . I never gave her any promises and never possessed anything from her . Instead, I always used her to find salvation and to find nice things .

Luna never asked me for anything . She had the right to obtain things and even ask for a title, but she never did . She always stayed by my side with a smile and fulfilled the duties of a personal servant . She never leveraged her position as my personal servant to run amok . She always did things for my sake, yet was happy just being able to stay by my side . She always wore that smile that was as bright as the sun .

I solemnly said, “I want to save Luna . She saved my heart, so I must use the remainder of my life to repay her . ”

“But, Son… this is… a dragon’s heart…” Vyvyan was startled . She desperately wanted to stop me from giving the heart away, but didn’t dare to oppose me, for she was afraid I’d get angry .

I nodded: “To me, I want to see my Luna more than I want to live a long life . It’s meaningless for me to have a long life . I just want to see my Luna once again . I can give up everything for my Luna . Moreover, this doesn’t belong to me . ”

I looked at Dragon Mom, and then solemnly added, “This is her heart . ”

“I do not mind . Thou can do as thou likes . It is thy heart . Thou can do as thou likes . ” Dragon Mom shook her head, indicating she wasn’t going to interfere with my decision .

I nodded then looked back at Mommy Vyvyan, who was next to me . I sincerely said, “Mom, I really want to give this to Luna . I want to revive her even if she’s just a puppet . I’ll be fine as long as she’s by my side . I want to see Luna’s smile again . Her smile is the gift I want more than anything . ”

Mommy Vyvyan didn’t reply . She, instead, looked at me with hopelessness . Her eyes were filled with sorrow . She looked at me in silence for a long time . She wanted to speak up but didn’t . I knew she was afraid of angering me, so she was very reluctant to let me go through with it, but she didn’t want to stop me . I carefully put the heart away to avoid damaging it . I finally managed to get myself some clothes and my backpack with Mommy Vyvyan and Dragon Mom’s help . I finally looked my usual self .

“There are still the eyes . You can give yourself the dragon eyes, right? After all, you’ve switched everything out for new parts . Only your elven eyes aren’t up to par, right?”

I picked up the eyes that were akin to large glass balls . I didn’t know what to say; but nevertheless, did I really need a new pair of eyes?
