I Can Control Resources

...

The White-faced King’s soul was torn to shreds by a single claw.

In midair, a full twenty-nine shimmering rings appeared.

These rings were filled with war supplies for two hundred thousand soldiers of the Alien Race Alliance Army, but Gao Neng didn’t spare them a single glance.

Because his eyes were fixed on the white dragon before him.

’Gao Xiaomeng called her "Mom"?’

’Did she misspeak?’

’No. Gao Xiaomeng only started calling me "Brother" after our battle in the Demon Abyss. Before that, she always just called me Gao Neng.’

’If that’s the case, Gao Xiaomeng wouldn’t just call any random person "Mom."’

’Unless...’

’This person is...’

’Xu Zilan?!’

The answer was already obvious.

And reality was just as Gao Neng had judged.

The white dragon transformed into a human before his eyes.

She wore a set of plain clothes, her face was ordinary, and there were even faint wrinkles on it.

But this was the face that had been with Gao Neng for eighteen years.

Yes!

She was Xu Zilan!

There was no mistaking it!

"Mom?!" Gao Neng spoke, finding it utterly unbelievable that his mother, who had always been as ordinary as could be, was a Strongest.

"Neng’Er, you’ve grown up," Xu Zilan said, brushing her bangs from her forehead.

However, off to the side, Bloodthirst’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Xu Zilan reappear in her human form, with that ordinary face.

For a second...

Bloodthirst looked like he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn’t speak.

He simply watched Xu Zilan quietly as she stood before Gao Neng.

"Mom, what... what’s going on? Why are you a Strongest? And the Fairy Dragon... Bai Feixue?! That dragon you turned into..." Gao Neng spoke again.

"Neng’Er, don’t ask me any questions right now. I’ll give you an explanation after we’ve dealt with the matter at hand," Xu Zilan said, looking at Gao Neng seriously.

"But..." Gao Neng hesitated.

He wanted to ask.

But Xu Zilan had told him not to.

If this were the past, he definitely wouldn’t have asked.

After all, it was a habit he had formed over eighteen years.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, he had never gone against Xu Zilan’s wishes.

Just like when Xu Zilan said he could only visit her during winter and summer breaks, Gao Neng had done as he was told, even though he didn’t know the reason why.

But now, Xu Zilan had suddenly turned into the Fairy Dragon Bai Feixue. The secret hidden within this was clearly not something that could be covered up with a simple ’don’t ask’.

"It seems you really have grown up... Fine. I am human!" Seeing Gao Neng’s hesitation, Xu Zilan suddenly sighed, glanced at the surrounding Blood Race, and spoke.

"..." Gao Neng was speechless.

Yes.

This was actually one of the biggest questions on his mind.

Xu Zilan had answered him directly.

And she’d answered him in front of the Blood Race, no less.

So, what else could he ask?

Gao Neng fell silent.

However, the moment Xu Zilan said, "I am human," a glint flashed in the eyes of both Bloodthirst and Gao Xiaomeng at almost the exact same time.

"Mom, Brother, he..." Gao Xiaomeng seemed unable to hold back from speaking.

"Xiaomeng, your brother is different from you. He needs some time to accept this," Xu Zilan gently interrupted Gao Xiaomeng.

"Mm..." Gao Xiaomeng nodded, then looked at Gao Neng. "Brother, Mom was the one who helped me escape the City of Hope, and she also helped us take over the Blood Pool. She’s a Strongest. Even though she hid her strength, shouldn’t you be happy? We’ve successfully taken control of the Blood Race! Look... The Blood Race’s Strongest, Bloodthirst, has already pledged his loyalty to us!"

"Happy? Yes, I suppose I should be happy," Gao Neng muttered, even though the whole situation felt strange.

The ordinary Xu Zilan had suddenly become a Strongest.

But he really had no reason to be unhappy.

The Blood Race was under their control.

This powerful race, which occupied the Twelve Main Cities of the North District and one Royal City, and even controlled the High Mountain Race, had now pledged fealty to them.

Why wouldn’t he be happy?

"Neng’Er, I know what you’re thinking. A Strongest of the Blood Race died at your hands, and now the North District Fortress is facing the frantic retaliation of the other Strongests," Xu Zilan spoke again.

"Mm... yes," Gao Neng nodded.

The battle with the North District’s Strongests.

It was indeed a weight on his mind.

"Don’t worry, I will resolve this problem. Although I wasn’t the one who caused it, since someone impersonated me, I will be the one to calm things down." Xu Zilan reached out and gently stroked Gao Neng’s forehead. "I will make the Blood Race give up on their revenge voluntarily!"

’Give up on revenge voluntarily?’ Gao Neng naturally believed Xu Zilan could do it.

After all, the entire Blood Race was now under her control.

So, as long as the Blood Race’s Strongest who participated in the battle voluntarily withdrew, the other alien Strongests, like the Faceless Snow Demon and so on, would all retreat to their own clans.

"Auntie, are you really the Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue?" Just then, Fang Tangtang, who had been silent this whole time, finally spoke up.

"Yes, I am. And Uncle Guan used to be my subordinate," Xu Zilan said with a light smile, then pointed down at the pool of water. "There are quite a few good things in the Blood Race’s Blood Pool. Want to go drink some? It would be very helpful for your current cultivation."

"Uncle Guan was your subordinate? That’s amazing!" Fang Tangtang immediately grew excited. "Gao Neng, I can’t believe your mom is so incredible! What are we waiting for? Let’s go take a sip... no, I’m going to take ten sips! HAHAHA... I heard that Lin Ying was lucky enough to get a single drop of blood from the Blood Pool, and then he gained the Blood Rage Berserk ability. Today, I, Death God Fang Tangtang, will go berserk too!"
