Chapter 167 Hidden Crisis
Caesar wiped the black blood stains on his hands with disgust. Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly stopped and looked at the mother and son not far ahead with a slightly moved expression.
Xiao Qi swam forward quickly, wagging the tip of his tail wildly, "Mom, I finally see you again, Dad didn't lie to me!"
Sang Luo held the little black snake in his arms. It felt heavier now and bigger than before. He touched the pair of hard black horns on its head. They had grown a lot and were not noticeable before. "Is your father coming to see me?"
"Yes! Daddy promised me that as long as I take a bath obediently, he will take me to see Mommy!"
"..." Just now at the banquet, he didn't even give her a glance.
That bastard was just pretending to comfort the child.
He was willing to do something like finding an unrelated stepmother for his child. It cannot be said that he didn't care about her, but that he didn't care about her at all.
Sang Luo kissed the little snake and was in a good mood, "Mother only wants a good son, she doesn't want your father!"
Caesar's purple eyes darkened and he turned and left.
The tip of the little black snake's tail paused, a little at a loss, "But... but Daddy was standing behind us just now, looking for Mommy, why doesn't Mommy want Daddy anymore?"
Sang Luo stared in amazement, and turned around holding the little black snake, but there was no one in sight.
"Did your father just come over?"
"After Dad heard what Mom said, he left again."
"..." Sang Luo pursed her lips and said dryly, "He came to Changle Palace to look for you. He probably didn't expect to run into me here and didn't want to see me again, so he turned around and left."
The little snake's body became even stiffer. It turned out that Daddy never brought it to see Mom because he hated Mom?
The relationship between mother and father is actually not good.
Xiao Qi suddenly clung to Sang Luo's arms, about to cry, "Then! Mother, please take me away. I don't want a father anymore!"
"Your father loves you very much. If you stay with him, you will grow better."
It was already late when Sang Luo returned to the banquet.
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 it weren't for the tracking marks I left showing you wandering around the palace, I would have thought something had happened to you."
"I got lost. The palace has a nice view, so I took a look around."
"Hmm? Is the view from the Phoenix Palace good?"
"No." Sang Luo said honestly, "But the tree at the entrance of Changle Palace is growing well. It is more than ten meters high, and the branches are full of pink flowers. It looks very beautiful."
"Oh, if you like, I will open up a garden in the Phoenix Palace and plant a whole garden for you."
Today's banquet is almost over.
Sang Luo asked Fei Yuan, "You should have finished your gift, shouldn't we leave now?"
Fei Yuan said, "The Beast King's ascension to the throne will take at least three days of celebration. The waiter has already prepared accommodation for us. I'm afraid we'll have to stay in the palace for two nights."
"That's fine." It was just right for her to take a closer look at Xiao Qi.
Otherwise, she will bring the little snake with her tomorrow?
It is understandable that as a mother, she wants to see her children more often.
If it weren't for the fact that Caesar had put 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 waiters for the beast kings were all side halls of the best specifications.
The facilities in the hall are magnificent and large.
The only downside is.
Just a bed.
"The empty palace opposite is the residence of the Northern Beast King. He didn't come, so I went to sleep in his room." Sang Luo said.
Fei Yuan was calm and composed, "You'd better not go over there."
"why?"
As soon as Sang Luo finished speaking, he saw a dark flash outside the window. Fei Yuan's fingertips shot out a wind blade, and the assassin fell to the ground instantly. He was torn into countless pieces and thrown into the soil where trees were planted outside the temple. Sang Luo was shocked. There was an assassination!
Well, with all the big shots gathered together, who doesn’t have a few enemies?
The mortal enemy of a big shot is also a big shot.
The strength of the assassins sent out would not be too low... Tonight is destined to be a restless night.
"The security of the Teng Snake Palace is so poor, I really don't know how he can be the Beast King!"
Fei Yuan smiled, said nothing, and looked toward the window thoughtfully.
Sang Luo followed his gaze and suddenly asked with alertness, "You don't have any enemies, do you?"
"Yes, and quite a lot." Fei Yuan looked back at her, his lips curled slightly, "Where do you think the poison in my body came from?"
"..."
"And the person who secretly poisoned me is very powerful and can cover the sky with one hand. I have been investigating for so many years, but I still can't find out the true identity of the person behind the scenes."
"Stop talking." Sang Luo felt a little scared, afraid that he would implicate her. "Didn't you bring me here to broaden my horizons? You don't want me to risk my life here, do you?... It seems even more unsafe to stay with you. Forget it, I'd better go to the room of the Northern Beast King."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Fei Yuan pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Just stay with me, and everything will be fine."
He fell for it then only because he was still young and his mind was pure. Now no one can match him.
"Then I want to sleep on the bed." She didn't want to sleep on the floor.
"Row."
Fei Yuan summoned the servants and asked for another quilt and bedding, then he went to sleep on the couch in the living room.
Dark clouds cover the moon and the evening mist is deep.
The entire Beast King Palace was shrouded in darkness.
In the back garden of the imperial palace, there is a clear pool, like a glass mirror. The bright moon in the water forms two images.
In the main hall.
Alma walked out from the shadows in the corner and half-knelt on the ground. She respectfully said to the purple-robed man standing at the door, "Ni, are we going to take action tonight?"
Another black mist fell into the hall and transformed into a tall and charming man.
Gongzhou, "Ni Xia, tonight is the best time to take action, don't miss the opportunity."
Alma, "It's a pity that the Northern Beast King didn't come, but it's not a big deal. A few hundred king beasts, plus the power of the three Beast Kings, can tear a corner of the seal after being sacrificed together."
Caesar didn't say anything. He looked at the night outside, somewhat absent-mindedly.
A wickedly handsome man in black clothes and brown hair suddenly appeared outside the hall. He was exceptionally tall and strong, with the fabric on his chest slightly bulging. However, the evil aura lingering around him made him look somewhat sinister and weird.
"Lord Mi Xing."
Gongzhou and Alma saw the visitor and saluted respectfully, feeling somewhat puzzled. Didn't this gentleman and Nixia always have a bad relationship? Why did he have time to come here tonight?
Mi Xing teleported into the hall and said straight to the point,
"Quan Jin, how about you and I team up to take down these three beast kings and split the credit 50-50 afterwards?"
He raised his chin slightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, "I came all the way here to help you this time out of kindness. It may be difficult for you to take down these three beast kings by yourself."
"I saw the Phoenix Emperor in the daytime. He is not a simple person." Quan Jin said calmly, "Not to mention that the Phoenix True Fire has a restraining effect on the devil's energy. Even I can't see through his strength."
"Him? Not to be feared! I have already inquired about it. Feng Huang was poisoned in his early years. The poison has already penetrated into his limbs and bones. His strength is less than one tenth of his peak strength." Mi Xing sneered arrogantly, "The other two beast kings are not to be feared either. With the combination of you and me, and this Chaos Mirror, even if we can't kill them, we can trap them alive and bring them back to the Demon Realm!"
"I have my own decision on this matter, so you won't have to bother with my advice." Quan Jin's tone became even colder.
"Tsk, are you refusing my cooperation?" Mi Xing narrowed his eyes, intriguingly, "This is really unlike the you I know. You are not a timid person. Could it be... you have other concerns?"
Mi Xing thought of the slaves he controlled during the day, and the lost little female he met. How could she, a foreigner, know 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 the problem and save the little female's life... What is the relationship between the two?
