Chapter 143 Another Snake Egg
Luan Zhi knelt beside Quan Xiu as usual, slowly grinding ink.
After half an incense stick's time, she could no longer restrain her thoughts. A soft, slender hand slowly reached towards a certain part of his lower body, her嬌 voice filled with longing, "My Lord~ Luan Zhi wants to bear you a child of your own blood. Please grant me this favor."
Quan Xiu grabbed her wrist, his voice calm, "Don't forget your place."
Luan Zhi bit her lip, gently twisting her thirsty body, her body and mind burning with desire, "My Lord, since you disappeared for several months and then returned, you haven't touched me again. Have you lost interest in my body...?" She used to be able to ignite his desire so easily.
Quan Xiu threw her off, his eyes icy cold, "You overestimate yourself. With your talent, you are not qualified to bear my child."
Luan Zhi fell to the ground in a disheveled state, seeing a flash of murderous intent in the man's eyes. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, and the desire in her body instantly vanished, "I'm sorry, Lord Quan Xiu! I shouldn't have overstepped my bounds. I will take good care of the Little Highness and be a good mother to it."
"You are no longer useful. Leave the manor tomorrow."
"What?" Luan Zhi was stunned, "Has the Little Highness found a new 'mother'? Is it that female who arrived today?"
Quan Xiu stopped looking at her and continued to review the documents in his hand, "Who gave you the sachet on your body?"
Previously, Xiao Qi liked to have Luan Zhi take care of him personally, and Quan Xiu didn't pay much attention to it. To him, Luan Zhi was no different from the other servants who served him closely. If his son really liked her as a beast mother, he could marry her and keep her in the manor. But after hearing what Xiao Qi said last time, he felt that something was wrong and sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and discovered the clues.
Luan Zhi's face turned slightly pale, and she forced a smile, "What sachet are you talking about, my Lord? I love incense, and I always carry a few sachets with me when I go out. They are all ordinary sachets bought outside, or given to me by friends..."
"I don't like wasting time with dead people."
Luan Zhi's legs suddenly went weak, "My Lord, spare me! I don't have anything. This sachet was... given to me by the Old Beast King!"
"Take it out."
Luan Zhi quickly handed over the sachet hidden in her waist.
After Quan Xiu saw the ingredients inside, a violent look flashed in his long eyes. This was a kind of spiritual herb with hallucinogenic properties, Snake Incense Grass, which had a strong seductive effect on snake beastmen, especially young snake cubs who had no resistance to it. Prolonged sniffing might even make the cubs addicted to it. In the future, it could be used to control it.
The Old Beast King of the Teng Snake clan was naturally suspicious and had always distrusted Quan Xiu, his adopted son. The last time he blocked a sword for him in the forbidden area, he finally let down his guard against this adopted son.
He didn't expect the Old Beast King to hide such a trick in secret, wanting to completely control him through his offspring!
Quan Xiu threw the sachet into the brazier and burned it directly.
Luan Zhi's face was as pale as paper.
"Get out."
...
Midnight.
After Quan Xiu finished reading the documents, he appeared in front of the bed.
Looking at Sang Luo sleeping soundly on the bed, she was still wearing the clothes she had worn during the day, slightly curled up, sleeping not very peacefully, with half of the quilt falling on the ground, only covering her stomach.
Xiao Qi had been released from the cage and was also curled up, sleeping soundly on her chest. Usually, it was never so stable.
These two... they really look like a mother and child.
The corners of Quan Xiu's lips curled into a faint smile. Even he himself hadn't noticed it.
He had people investigate her origins.
Sang Luo...
This name seemed a little familiar...
When he gently bit it out between his teeth, his soul seemed to ripple slightly, and when he saw her, his emotions were always difficult to keep calm.
She called him Caesar last time...
Was that his former name?
When he woke up from the darkness, he had no previous memories. Only the two offspring in the space who were related to him by blood indicated that he had once had a relationship with a female. Could this female be her?
Was she a lost memory of his?
The man sat on the edge of the bed, covering Sang Luo and the little snake with the quilt. Although he had no memory of her, his body gave a instinctive and pleasurable response.
"Mmm..." Sang Luo frowned, humming softly, showing signs of waking up.
He quickly left again.
On the other side, Luan Zhi had been worried and frightened all night after leaving the study.
At that moment, Quan Xiu really had murderous intent towards her.
But as an informant, she had a mark planted on her by the Old Beast King. Once she died, the Old Beast King would be able to sense it immediately, so she escaped a disaster and barely saved her life.
But there was no guarantee how long she could keep her life.
She couldn't stay in the manor any longer.
Before leaving, Luan Zhi didn't want Sang Luo, who had ruined her plan, to have an easy time either.
Early the next morning, Luan Zhi sent her trusted male servant to inform Sang Luo that Lord Quan Xiu had something to discuss with her in the cold cave of the underground palace.
The male servant said in surprise, "Isn't that place...?"
The servants who had been in the manor for a long time knew that there was also a cold cave of the underground palace under the manor. That place was strictly forbidden to anyone, and only Lord Quan Xiu could enter. None of the outsiders who had entered had come out alive, and it was known as a forbidden area.
Sang Luo was basking in the sun in the courtyard with Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi was sleepy from the sun, lazily curled into a ball, with the tip of its tail resting on its head, blocking the overly dazzling light.
Cubs are the sleepiest.
Sang Luo sent Xiao Qi back to the house. As soon as she went out and turned around, a beastman came to report that Lord Quan Xiu had something to discuss with her.
Sang Luo thought that Quan Xiu was looking for her to discuss important matters, so she didn't ask any more questions and followed him to the backyard.
...
Cold cave of the underground palace.
The temperature here was not low. Seemingly a pool of ice condensed from cold ice, one would discover that it was filled with crystal cores, a huge and shocking number.
In the center of the "ice pool" was a stone platform, slightly recessed in the middle, and in the recessed area was a beast egg the size of half a head, with a circle of dark purple lines on the eggshell.
The lines were light and gray, with almost no energy fluctuations.
There was also some damage at the top of the beast egg.
Quan Xiu stood in front of the stone platform, looking at this white egg that had not hatched for a long time, his mood heavy.
Most of the beast crystals he had obtained over the years had been used to hatch this beast egg. The beast egg had not hatched for a long time, and the life force inside was getting weaker and weaker...
When he woke up more than a year ago, only these two children were with him.
He didn't know what had happened before, but both children were in bad condition. Xiao Qi hatched when he woke up, but was obviously stimulated and born prematurely. He was unconscious and almost died. He spent countless divine soul power and energy to raise it back to life. He had only just woken up from his slumber half a year ago, and his body had not had any problems since then, and he had grown very healthy.
Only this damaged white egg had not hatched for a long time.
He had an obsession in his heart to hatch it as soon as possible and show it to someone.
If it was a stillborn, she would be sad.
But he could no longer feel the vitality in this egg...
