Chapter 164: An Invitation from the Teng Snake Clan
“Xiu’er, time is of the essence. Quickly refine the Dragon Blood, and when the time comes, you and I—”
“Pfft!”
Quan Xiu stepped forward, a jet-black longsword appearing in his palm, directly piercing through him.
“I really must thank you, Father King. Your life was not wasted on me either.” The man's cold and indifferent voice echoed in his ear.
Quan Gang lowered his head and saw a wisp of invisible black mist instantly spreading outwards from his pierced chest. Wherever it passed, flesh and bones instantly turned into a pool of black water.
He widened his scarlet, bulging eyes, staring fixedly at the cold and ruthless black-robed youth before him, gnashing his teeth, “You! You are not Quan Xiu!”
“Father King… no, I should respectfully call you Uncle. Have you forgotten that there is another child with this face?”
“You are—Quan Jin!” Quan Gang’s face showed panic, “No! How could you still be alive!”
“You can go to the afterlife and ask my mother.”
“Quan Yu? Hahahaha!” Quan Gang suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, his eyes filled with sinister venom, “She deserved to die for giving birth to you and Quan Xiu, these two bastards, with that monster! Especially you, with the monster’s blood flowing in your veins, I will absolutely not let you obtain the Dragon Blood… Ah!”
The longsword was pulled out, and Quan Gang instantly turned to ashes.
Kaisar casually threw the longsword on the ground, and an invisible and powerful mental force rippled out, turning all the ambushing men outside the cave into nothingness.
This old thing’s days were numbered, so how could he resign himself to dying? He originally wanted to seize Kaisar's Divine Blood body when he was least prepared during the refinement of the Divine Blood, to be reborn. But he did not expect to be a pawn of the other party himself.
After Kaisar cleaned up the scene, he took out the damaged white egg from his space and placed it in the blood pool.
Dragon Blood and the Teng Snake clan originally belonged to the same source. This powerful Divine Blood power might allow Xiao An to survive.
The little black snake crawled out from his wide ink-sleeves, looked at the blood pool, then looked at Kaisar, raised its small head and flicked its tongue, “Dad, when are you going to find Mom? I haven’t seen Mom in months!”
Mentioning that female, Kaisar's expression became dazed, and he lowered his eyes in loneliness.
“Your mom… she probably doesn’t want to see me anymore.”
“How could that be? Mom likes Dad a lot! Her eyes are full of love when she looks at you!”
“...Do you know what love is?”
“Hmph! Of course, I know.” Xiao Qi shook his tail tip, speaking with great seriousness, “Dad is usually very cold to me, but I know Dad loves me very much, and his eyes are full of tenderness every time he looks at me!”
“Mom’s eyes are even gentler when she looks at Dad than when Dad looks at me.”
“Mom must love Dad very, very much.”
Kaisar felt a flutter in his heart. He didn't have many emotional fluctuations when he previously knew that she was the child's beast mother and his former partner. It was nothing more than having someone to share a bed with and the child having a mother.
But, since the two separated last time, Kaisar had a thought he had never had before. He wanted to find the lost memories of the past.
It wasn't that he didn't have a way to restore his memories, but he had always been too lazy to look for them.
“After you and Xiao An refine the Divine Blood, I will take you back to find her.”
“Dad, it’s a deal. This time, we must bring Mom back!”
“Yes, good.”
The little black snake got the guarantee and slipped into the blood pool, soaking in it.
Kaisar watched the two children slowly absorb the Divine Blood in the blood pool.
There didn't seem to be any rejection.
He set up formations inside and outside the tomb.
This place had rich spiritual energy, and it was a good place to cultivate.
More than half a year passed in a flash.
Kaisar opened his eyes again.
A newly awakened black snake hung on his arm.
Its size was twice as big as it was half a year ago. It should have shed its skin once in the middle. The scales all over its body were even blacker and more lustrous, and faint golden lights flowed around the edges of the black scales. The two small horns on the top of its head were more obvious, leaning slightly back on its head.
Kaisar took the little black snake into the space to rest, and then looked at the blood pool, his long eyes flowing with surprise.
The blood in the pool was completely dry.
The originally broken part of the white egg was intact as before, and it was a little bigger than before.
On the eggshell, the dim light purple patterns turned into dazzling purple-gold patterns, exuding an indescribable mysterious halo all over its body.
The almost disappearing vitality had been renewed and was even more powerful than before.
Kaisar walked into the dry pool and took the beast egg back into the space.
Before leaving, he swept across the tomb, picked up the tomb key that fell on the ground, and left with the child.
The heavy tomb door closed with a rumble, hidden in the deep valley cliff.
…
Sang Luo returned from the Northern Continent.
Seeing Si Ye holding a black and gold invitation in his hand, his face was unhappy.
“What is this?”
“The new patriarch of the Teng Snake Clan has taken office. He is a Beast Emperor. The southern region, which has been turbulent for a hundred years, has finally welcomed a new Beast Emperor. The new Emperor should naturally feast on guests from all directions. Beast Emperors and Beast Kings from various regions, people with status and faces, have received invitations to the banquet.” Fei Yuan walked over and said, he also held an invitation in his hand.
Sang Luo originally wanted to ask him what he was doing here, but suddenly thought of something, “Teng Snake Clan? Could it be that the Beast Emperor of the South is…”
She looked at Si Ye. A flame ignited from his jade-white fingertips, and the invitation was burned to ashes in an instant.
“I hate that snake beast, so I won’t go to the banquet. Do you want to go?”
Sang Luo was surprised, “The South didn’t send me an invitation, so can I go?”
“Guests can bring a family member to the banquet. If Little Luo’er wants to go, I can take you there.” Fei Yuan, as the Beast Emperor of the Central Region, must personally go to send gifts and celebrate the birth of the new Beast Emperor in the South, both in terms of affection and reason.
Fei Yuan saw her entanglement and asked another question, “Do you want to go?”
Sang Luo didn't say anything for a while. To be honest, she didn't know either.
She and Kaisar…
Do the two still have a relationship?
They even have children, so they are definitely not strangers, but the feeling Kaisar gives her now is really stranger than strangers…
It's been almost a year, and he hasn't come to her. Maybe he has already forgotten her. What's the point of her being sentimental?
“I don’t even have an invitation, so what’s it to me? I’m not going.” Sang Luo went straight back to the room, the sound of the door slamming shut crisp.
Fei Yuan and Si Ye glanced at each other, thoughtfully, “Is she a little upset?”
Si Ye was happy, “That snake beast deserves it.”
Fei Yuan, “Hmm? Does she also have a relationship with the new Beast Emperor of the South?”
“They even have children, what do you think?” Si Ye was lying on the sofa, his eyebrows sullen and unhappy.
If you really want to talk about first come, first served, they are both the snake beast's “juniors”.
Si Ye hoped that the relationship between the two would break down.
“Her little appearance doesn’t look like she’s relieved, but rather like she’s sulking.” Fei Yuan thought for a while, walked to the door of the room, and lightly knocked on the door with his fingers, “Is Little Luo’er asleep?”
“…”
“The birth of every Beast Emperor throughout the ages is a major event that shakes the world. The enthronement banquet of the Beast Emperor can be said to be quite magnificent and lively. Anyway, you are idle at home and have nothing to do, why not go to the South with me for two days? How about considering it as broadening your horizons?”
