The holy light enveloped Joey's small body, making his adorable face even more so in the radiance.
"Human-dragon hybrid?" Lin Yan couldn't help but ask. She finally understood why a descendant of the dragon race would be congenitally weak.
The human body flowing with dragon blood would surely not be able to support it.
If someone hadn't been constantly regulating his internal energy and sealing his bloodline power, his body would be even weaker now.
"Yes, his father is human," Morris replied.
As for who the dragon was, he did not say. He believed Lin Yan already knew his identity.
Seeing Lin Yan again this time, he noticed her strength had advanced further; she was now an eighth-level mage.
At her age and with her ability, her talent was likely among the very top in the entire human race.
"Morris, it's warm." Joey felt comfortable and warm when enveloped by the holy light.
A touch of color even appeared on his usually pale little face. He liked this feeling very much and began to feel a bit of fondness for the person in front of him who could emit such light.
Morris felt that Lin Yan should be able to cure Joey.
Anita had also been watching them. Seeing the change on Joey's face, she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although she had always felt that Joey's body had no problem, as long as his dragon bloodline awakened.
But before the awakening, she had seen his weakness.
The reason she had always entrusted Joey to others for care was her fear of accidentally hurting him with her strength.
She was too careless, and her child was so fragile that she truly hesitated to get close to him.
Dragon cubs were usually very strong, and dragons were generally careless with their young. It was the same for Morris when he was little.
Before he hatched, she would often roll his egg around. After he hatched, she would carry him around on her back as she flew, and many times he would get caught on branches and fall off.
Hadn't he also grown up normally? Many dragon cubs grew up like this. She had never imagined that instead of laying an egg, she had given birth to a human baby.
A fragile human baby left her unsure of where to start. Fortunately, her husband was a nobleman and there was no shortage of caregivers around.
Her own brother was also a very meticulous person, which allowed Joey to be taken care of well as he grew up.
As the holy light disappeared, Lin Yan had a better understanding of Joey's condition. She crouched down and placed her hand on Joey's wrist.
"Angelina, Joey he..." Morris asked nervously.
Anita also turned her gaze to this former Saintess of the Church. This person was not simple. Just by looking at the Holy Light technique just now, few in the entire Church could surpass her.
She couldn't understand why the Church would exile such a powerful weapon to such a place.
"It's not serious, I can cure him." Lin Yan held Joey's hand, pulled him up, and then walked to Morris, returning Joey to him.
"Are you serious?" Anita spoke first.
"Yes, Your Excellency can rest assured, but Joey's dragon bloodline has not fully awakened. Do you want to awaken it?"
Joey's problem was not very serious, but it was also quite troublesome. His mother was a red dragon, a fire dragon. But his father was human, a water mage.
Being born as human meant that his human bloodline occupied a larger proportion, but the dragon bloodline was too dominant, which made his body so weak.
There were two ways to treat him: one was to proceed gradually, improving his physical fitness, allowing the two bloodlines within him to slowly fuse.
However, their two affinities were somewhat conflicting, requiring constant guidance.
The other was to directly awaken his dragon bloodline, completely suppressing the human bloodline within him, truly becoming a little dragon with a robust body, which would then be able to withstand the pull of the two affinities.
Lin Yan explained both methods to them, leaving the choice to them.
"You can awaken his bloodline?" Anita now began to take the woman in front of her seriously.
She had previously only thought that Angelina would use her light element to improve Joey's physical condition, not that she could achieve this.
"Yes, but it requires quite a few materials. Of course, these materials are nothing to dragons." Lin Yan would not have spoken if she couldn't do it.
"Don't worry about the materials. Just list them out, and I'll have them sent over as soon as possible," Anita said expansively.
"So, you're going to entrust Joey to me for treatment?"
"Yes!" Anita found the former Saintess of the Church increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Lin Yan also stated her other condition: "Awakening the bloodline takes a considerable amount of time, so he might have to stay here for quite a while."
Joey was still quite young, and she didn't think Anita would feel comfortable leaving such a small child here.
"It's fine, Morris will stay by Joey's side, won't you, Morris?" Anita raised an eyebrow at Morris.
Morris had been holding Joey, feeding him water and food, and listening to their conversation.
Hearing Anita directly assign him a task, he felt a little helpless, but he was also very worried about Joey.
"Yes, I will stay here to accompany him. The servants who look after him on his father's side will also be arriving soon," Morris gently stroked Joey's little head.
"That's right. I'll send over Joey's usual necessities as soon as possible. Just list any materials you need," Anita decisively agreed.
"Since you trust me, then entrust Joey's body to me." Lin Yan agreed.
Afterward, she had a maid prepare rooms for Morris and the others.
In the afternoon, Morris appeared before Lin Yan alone.
"Anita is usually quite assertive, please don't hold it against her." Her own little cub needed her help, and he didn't want to anger her.
"Doesn't Her Excellency Anita have the qualifications to be so?" An eighth-tier dragon, she didn't need to bow to anyone.
"I'm glad you're not upset. Is there anything you need me to do here?" Morris asked.
Although the reward for treating Joey hadn't been mentioned, Lin Yan was confident they wouldn't treat her unfairly. Moreover, building a good relationship with two dragons was the greatest benefit.
"You'll be staying here until Joey's bloodline awakens, which will take a long time. I won't be polite," Lin Yan said, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
"As you wish!" Seeing her smile, Morris suddenly felt his heart race.
He couldn't describe the feeling; it was a surge of adrenaline, an excitement he had never felt before.
