Kaisar wiped the black blood stains on his hands with disgust. He was about to step forward and walk out, but suddenly stopped, his expression slightly moved as he looked at the mother and son not far ahead.
Xiao Qi quickly swam forward, wagging his tail wildly, "Mother, I finally see you again! Father didn't lie to me!"
Sang Luo hugged the little black snake in her arms. It was always a bit heavy, and it looked a circle bigger than before. She also touched the pair of hard black horns on its head. They had grown a lot. They weren't obvious before. "Is your father coming to find me?"
"Yes, yes! Father promised me that as long as I take a good bath, he would bring me to find Mother!"
"…" He didn't even give her a glance at the banquet just now.
That dog of a man was just pretending to comfort the child.
He could even do something like finding a random stepmother for the child, so it's not that he doesn't care about her, but rather that he doesn't care at all.
Sang Luo kissed the little snake, feeling much better. "Mother only wants her good son, doesn't want your father!"
Kaisar's purple eyes darkened, and he turned to leave.
The tip of the little black snake's wagging tail paused, a little at a loss. "But… but Father was just standing behind us. He came to find Mother. Why doesn't Mother want Father anymore?"
Sang Luo stared blankly, and hurriedly turned around with the little black snake in her arms, but there wasn't a single figure.
"Your father was just here?"
"Father left after hearing what Mother said."
"…" Sang Luo pursed her lips and said dryly, "He came to Changle Palace, definitely to find you. He probably didn't expect to run into me here. He didn't want to see me again, so he turned around and left."
The little snake's body became even stiffer. So, the reason Father never brought it to see Mother was because he hated Mother?
The relationship between Mother and Father is actually not good.
Xiao Qi suddenly clung tightly to Sang Luo's arm, on the verge of tears, "Then! Mother, take me away! I don't want Father anymore!"
"Your father loves you very much. Staying by his side will allow you to grow up better."
When Sang Luo returned to the banquet again, it was already late.
Fei Yuan had already peeled several plates of fruit for her, as well as a whole bowl of melon seeds. "Why did you come back so late? If the tracking mark I left behind didn't show that you were wandering around the palace, this Emperor would have thought something happened to you."
"I got lost. The scenery of the palace is nice, so I took a walk."
"Oh? Is the scenery of the Phoenix Emperor Palace better?"
"No." Sang Luo said honestly, "But the mimosa tree at the entrance of Changle Palace is growing well. It's more than ten meters tall, and the pink flower balls are hanging all over the branches. It looks quite beautiful."
"Heh, if you like it, I'll specially create a garden in the Phoenix Emperor Palace and plant a whole garden full of them for you."
Today's banquet is coming to an end.
Sang Luo asked Fei Yuan, "You should have finished presenting the gifts, right? Shouldn't we leave?"
Fei Yuan said, "The Beast Emperor's enthronement should be celebrated for at least three days. The attendants have already prepared accommodation for us. We'll probably have to stay in the palace for two nights."
"That's fine too." It's good that she can see Xiao Qi more.
Otherwise, should she bring the little snake to her side tomorrow?
As a mother, it's only natural for her to want to see her child more.
If it weren't for Kaisar putting so much thought into the child, Sang Luo would have wanted to snatch the child away and raise him herself.
The residences prepared by the attendants for the Beast Emperors were all the best side halls.
The facilities in the palace were gorgeous and very large.
The only drawback was…
There's only one bed.
"The empty palace across the way is the residence arranged for the Northern Beast Emperor. He didn't come, so I'll go sleep in his room," Sang Luo said.
Fei Yuan was calm and composed. "You better not go over there."
"Why?"
Before Sang Luo could finish speaking, a dark shadow flashed past the window. Fei Yuan flicked a wind blade with his fingertip, and the assassin instantly fell to the ground, torn into countless pieces and thrown into the soil outside the palace where trees were planted.
Sang Luo was shocked. There's an assassination!
That's right, the big shots are gathered together, who doesn't have a few enemies?
The arch-enemies of the big shots are also big shots.
The assassins sent out won't be weak either… Tonight is destined to be uneasy.
"The security of the Teng Snake Imperial Palace is so poor. I really don't know how he became the Beast Emperor!"
Fei Yuan smiled and didn't speak, looking at the window thoughtfully.
Sang Luo followed his gaze and suddenly became alert. "You don't have any enemies, do you?"
"Yes, and quite a few." Fei Yuan turned to look at her, the corners of his lips slightly raised. "How do you think the Gu poison in my body came to be?"
"…"
"Moreover, the person who poisoned me in secret is quite powerful, capable of manipulating everything. This Emperor has investigated for so many years, but still hasn't found out the real identity of the person behind the scenes."
"Stop talking." Sang Luo felt a burst of fear, afraid of being implicated by him. "Didn't you bring me here to broaden my horizons? You don't want me to lose my life here, do you? … Staying by your side seems even more unsafe. Forget it, I'd better go to the Northern Beast Emperor's room."
"With this Emperor here, what are you afraid of?" Fei Yuan pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Staying by my side, naturally nothing will happen."
He was only tricked at that time because he was still young and pure-minded. Now, no one is his opponent anymore.
"Then I want to sleep on the bed." She doesn't want to sleep on the floor.
"Alright."
Fei Yuan summoned a servant and asked for another quilt. He went to sleep on the couch in the living room.
Dark clouds covered the moon, and the twilight was deep.
The entire Beast Emperor Palace was shrouded in darkness.
In the back garden of the palace, there was a clear pond, like a glass mirror, with the moon reflected in the water, forming two images on its own.
In the main hall.
Alma walked out from the shadows in the corner and knelt on the ground, respectfully speaking to the purple-robed man standing at the door, "Your Highness, are we going to make a move tonight?"
Another black mist fell into the hall, transforming into a tall, slender, and enchanting man.
Gong Zhou, "Your Highness, tonight is the best opportunity to make a move. Don't miss the chance."
Alma, "It's a pity that the Northern Beast Emperor didn't come, but it doesn't matter. Several hundred King Beasts, plus the power of the three Beast Emperors, can also tear a corner of the seal after being sacrificed together."
Kaisar didn't speak. He looked at the night outside, somewhat absent-minded.
A wicked and handsome black-clothed, brown-haired man suddenly appeared outside the hall, his physique particularly tall and strong, the fabric in front of his chest faintly bulging, but the evil aura surrounding him made him appear somewhat sinister and strange.
"Lord Mi Xing."
Gong Zhou and Alma saw the person who came and respectfully saluted. They were both a little puzzled. Weren't this lord and Your Highness always at odds? Why did he have time to come over tonight?
Mi Xing teleported into the hall and went straight to the point.
"Quan Jin, if you and I join forces to take down these three Beast Emperors, the credit will be split fifty-fifty afterward, how about it?"
He raised his chin slightly, his eyebrows slightly raised. "This time, I'm kindly coming over to help you. It might be a bit difficult for you to take down these three Beast Emperors with your own strength."
"I saw that Phoenix Emperor during the day. This person is not simple," Quan Jin said lightly. "Not to mention that the Phoenix True Fire itself has a restraining effect on demonic energy, even I can't see through his strength."
"Him? Not worth fearing! I've already inquired about it. The Phoenix Emperor was poisoned with Gu poison in his early years, and the toxicity has already penetrated deep into his limbs. His strength is less than 10% of his peak," Mi Xing said arrogantly and scornfully. "The other two Beast Emperors are not worth fearing either. If you and I join forces, plus this Chaos Imageless Mirror, even if we can't kill them, we can trap them and capture them alive, and bring them back to the Demon Realm!"
"I have my own decisions about this matter, so I won't bother you to advise me," Quan Jin's tone was even colder.
"Tsk, are you rejecting my cooperation?" Mi Xing narrowed his eyes, meaningfully. "This really doesn't seem like the you I know. You're not a timid and fearful person, could it be… you have other concerns?"
Mi Xing thought of the servant he controlled during the day, who encountered that lost little female. She, an outsider, actually knew Quan Jin's son?
He originally wanted to lure her out of the palace, but he didn't expect Quan Jin to take the initiative to solve it, saving that little female's life… What is the relationship between the two?
