Chapter 46: Yellow Dragon Scales Zhu Huai said to Liu Xiang in front of him...

Zhu Huai said to Prime Minister Liu, "Let's make this clear first. He just wanted to see me. I agreed to come because I wanted to know what he wanted to do."

He looked at the water-shaped incarnation in front of him, which had transformed into a human form and had a slightly cold gaze, and heard it say, "What if he has evil intentions?"

He looked like a bully staring at his treasured possessions, eager to chase everyone else away. He would even gouge out the eyes of others if they even glanced at him.

Zhu Huai said, "You can't let me hide from Him forever, right? Besides, I just calculated that His destiny isn't with me, but with someone else."

Shui Xiang's character is paranoid and overbearing, and he will not be easily persuaded. Zhu Huai looked at him with no intention of giving in. He had realized that he could not indulge Liu Xiang forever.

If we know that Liu Xiang has a paranoid and twisted personality but don't restrain him, then if he gets into other troubles later, wouldn't that also be Zhu Huai's fault?

In this case, we must try to seize some initiative at this time and not let Prime Minister Liu think that whatever he does is his right.

Although it is difficult for this feudal and powerful old antique to change his mind, Zhu Huai is now one with Liu Xiang. Since this is the case, he must also take some responsibility.

We also cannot let this guy think that Zhu Huai is his private property and then repeat the same actions as in his previous life.

Zhu Huai put down his tea, a smile on his face. "But speaking of which, it seems that the deity didn't come to see you, Prime Minister Liu. Since you don't want to see him, then it's fine for him to come and see me."

Liu Xiang's expression turned extremely cold almost in an instant.

"You still want to go see Him alone?" His voice was so cold that it seemed as if he wanted to skin Zhu Yingxue alive.

Zhu Huai said, "I have hands and feet, and I just want to go see someone. Since I've figured out that he has no ill will towards me, what's the harm in meeting him?"

Liu Xiang stared at Zhu Huai intently, his eyes making his hair stand on end, almost sending a chill down his spine.

But Zhu Huai continued to confront the beast. After a moment, Liu Xiang took a step back and said, "You are my pledged wife..."

"Why? When did I ever say I wasn't your adopted wife?" Zhu Huai said, "Even if I didn't agree, you still tied me up and brought me to the Liu family."

Thinking of what happened before and the bad things Liu Xiang had done, Zhu Huai couldn't help but stretch out his finger and point at his eyebrows.

Liu Xiang reached out and grabbed the human's fingers. They were small, with brittle bones and were very soft. His strength instantly weakened for fear of hurting the person.

Liu Xiang said, "You are my pledged wife." A satisfied expression appeared on his face: "You are mine."

Zhu Huai patted his face gently. Liu Xiang seemed to have never felt such emotions before. He felt unhappy and depressed. The moment he knew that Zhu Huai had invited another god to come here, he wanted to rush out and tear Zhu Yingxue into pieces alive.

Anyone who wants to compete with him, poses a threat to him, or has ever coveted Zhu Huai should die. He stared at Zhu Huai with only one thought in his mind: mine, my wife.

Liu Xiang had never experienced such feelings since he was born. It was like pouring a bucket of bitter water into his empty chest, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

He was just extremely unhappy. If he could drive away everyone around the human and hide him in the deepest part of the Liu family, perhaps no one would be able to see him anymore.

At that time, for Liu Xiang, it was completely monopolistic.

Why not do that?

Zhu Huai's face was reflected in Liu Xiang's golden eyes. Zhu Huai stroked his face and smiled at him: "Besides, what are you worried about? Even if you meet someone else, you are still my favorite sacrificial deity."

The boiling bitterness in Liu Xiang's heart poured out in a rush, and was suddenly filled with light icing. He felt light, and his originally cold and sharp eyebrows faded, as if he was being held in the palm of a human hand, gently rubbing and hugging him.

He couldn't help but curl his lips and smile: "My adopted wife loves me and depends on me, it's only natural."

"Are you willing to listen to me now?" Zhu Huai said.

Liu Xiang couldn't help but hug Zhu Huai and kiss his lips hard, wanting to please him, even temporarily suppressing his previous unhappiness. He wanted to taste whether there was honey hidden in Zhu Huai's mouth, why it was so sweet.

Zhu Huai said that he kissed her for so long that his tongue hurt. He struggled to free himself and heard Liu Xiang say, "What did you drink? It tastes so sweet."

Zhu Huai placed the tea in front of him and said, "Pour yourself what you want to drink."

Zhu Huai sighed. Sometimes Liu Xiang was indeed difficult to deal with, but sometimes he was indeed easy to coax. Perhaps he was not a tolerant person, but when facing Zhu Huai, there was always a trace of tolerance that belonged only to him.

Zhu Huai was the same. Who could resist the bias and selfishness towards the one they loved? Those who could truly do that were either true saints who treated all things equally, or fools who couldn't even distinguish their own feelings.

Therefore, Zhu Huai always wanted to indulge Liu Xiang a little, and also wanted to see Liu Xiang be more tolerant for him. Even if he just loosened his grip a little and let go of his paranoid and twisted possessiveness, Zhu Huai would feel gratified by it.

"But...if He continues to stare at you after He comes, if He looks at you even once more, I will gouge out His eyes; if He touches you, I will tear off His hands."

Liu Xiang said that he looked very serious. Thinking of how Liu Yao had been treated in the past, Zhu Huai couldn't help but worry about the Zhu family's sacrifice to the gods.

"I'm not gold, how is it possible that everyone is staring at me? And they like me."

Zhu Huai said helplessly. Liu Xiang showed dissatisfaction on his face. He said: "You are the best. I don't think anyone dares not to like you."

"What if you really like me?"

"Then I will kill Him." Liu Xiang sneered.

Very good, very domineering, very bad.

Zhu Huai said helplessly: "That's fine, but I don't think He can take care of me. When He comes, we can have dinner."

"You still want him to eat what you made?" Liu Xiang immediately expressed his dissatisfaction. Zhu Huai said, "A guest is a guest, and this is what I made. Why are you angry?"

Liu Xiang was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to suppress his unhappiness. His thin eyebrows were squeezed together. Seeing that Zhu Huai had no intention of taking back his words, he gritted his teeth and suddenly turned and left.

When he came back again, the incarnation of Mu Xiang with black hair and green eyes appeared in front of Zhu Huai. Mu Xiang yawned and looked at Zhu Huai with eyes as pure as water. He seemed a little lazy, as if those beautiful eyes could only accommodate Zhu Huai, and he just stared at him.

His aura seemed much calmer. Mu Xiang said, "I know you are hospitable, but as a sacrifice to the god, Zhu Yingxue usually eats very special food. I'm afraid it would be a waste of your cooking skills to let him eat your food."

His voice was calm and pleasant, like a spring breeze. Zhu Huai's eyes were attracted to him. When he was illuminated by his gentle eyes, he seemed to hesitate: "You seem to be right... When you first met me, it seems that you didn't eat ordinary food either."

Liu Xiang chuckled softly, and said lazily, "In that case, why not give it all to me? I will never waste anything you give me."

Yeah?

Zhu Huai felt somewhat happy. Mu Xiang sat beside him, coaxing him softly. Zhu Huai softened a little when he was touched by the aura emitted by the older man. Somehow he leaned on Liu Xiang's arms. After a while, Zhu Yingxue came with You Yao slowly.

Along the way, Zhu Yingxue said something to You Yao, which caused You Yao, who was following him, to raise his head and stare at him from time to time, as if he was a little nervous and a little scared.

He keenly felt that the aura of Zhu Yingxue was even more terrifying than that of Xu Xiuwen. He was like a puppy encountering a ferocious beast. He was speechless and followed the person here in a daze. He saw the adopted wife who rescued him.

You Yao seemed to have found a savior, and then he saw the black-haired priest holding Zhu Huai in his arms. At that moment, he shuddered, and an unprecedented sense of danger came over him, making him lower his head almost at that moment.

Even though Liu Xiang didn't even raise his head to look at him, You Yao still gritted his teeth and shivered.

So scary.

He... he once saw a fiery red figure from afar. It was like a natural disaster, more terrifying than Xu Xiuwen and Zhu Yingxue beside him.

Even though he fainted after just one look and couldn't even see the whole face, You Yao still remembered the fear that went deep into his bones, like an ant facing a dragon.

At this moment, he felt the fear again.

At this moment, Zhu Yingxue looked at the shivering You Yao. He seemed to stand beside You Yao inadvertently, blocking his sight.

You Yao immediately hid behind him. Liu Xiang didn't care about anyone other than Zhu Huai. Zhu Huai also raised his head at this time. He finally saw the god of the Zhu family.

He had snow-white hair, a cold demeanor, and a white robe. A faint smile played on his lips, but his demeanor was not kind, and he seemed to be aloof and distant. He was extremely tall, with an upright and elegant figure, like a string of icy, precision-operated gears and machinery.

The first time he saw him, Zhu Huai felt that this was a completely different person from Liu Xiang. Zhu Yingxue looked at Zhu Huai, as if sizing him up for a moment, and then quickly looked away as if he sensed something.

Huh?

Zhu Yingxue said, "I'm sorry, but if I look at you any longer, I'll probably have to fight with the gods in the Liu family's ancestral home."

He was truly extremely perceptive. After all, the murderous intent and hostility emanating from Prime Minister Liu were so clear that they were enough to freeze the air.

Zhu Yingxue seemed to be interested in Zhu Huai at first, but now that she has actually arrived at the Liu family, she seems to have completely lost that idea.

This is also a good thing.

Zhu Huai said, "Welcome, this priest, did you invite me to the Zhu family to treat your illness?"

Zhu Yingxue sat at the seat farthest from Zhu Huai and said calmly, "This is an old illness from many years ago, but I have already given up the idea.

Prime Minister Liu, please put away your murderous intent. After all, I don't have any interest in stealing other people's wives."

Liu Xiang did not answer. He supported his face with one hand and looked at Zhu Yingxue. If Zhu Yingxue moved at all, Liu Xiang would really tear his hand off.

"If you want to heal my injuries, I must have a adopted child to bond with me and help me remove the pollution. Now I already have another candidate."

Zhu Yingxue said sincerely. You Yao behind him seemed a little at a loss when his name was suddenly called.

"You Yao, that's your name, right?" Zhu Yingxue's gaze fell on You Yao. "Will you help me heal my wounds?"

"Ah?" You Yao didn't know what an adopted son or wife was, he didn't know what healing was, and he didn't even know what offering sacrifices to the gods was.

Facing Zhu Yingxue's words, he tried to force out a no for a long time, but then he felt his body turn cold, and the words in his mouth became: "Can I think about it again?"

Zhu Huai's eyes swept over the two of them, and he suddenly realized the cause and effect he had seen before. Zhu Yingxue's true love actually fell on You Yao.

Zhu Yingxue raised her head and glanced at him at this moment. After the two of them exchanged glances, Liu Xiang suddenly said, "You want to take this person away?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on You Yao. You Yao, who was suddenly stared at by several big men, felt a lot of pressure. He said, "Master Qiqi, thank you for saving me."

Zhu Huai said, "You're welcome."

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the most reliable among these people.

Zhu Huai said, "Have you felt something is wrong staying here these past two days? Your situation is very special, so you can't leave the Liu family for the time being."

You Yao said: "I know. I've been having nightmares recently and feeling very uncomfortable, as if someone is calling my name."

He raised his hand, and beneath the skin covered by clothes was a faint lotus tattoo, but the tattoo was very shallow, so it was not clear.

You Yao said, "I don't know what the abbot did to me, but what happened to me was definitely done by him!"

Hearing this, Zhu Huai already knew what had happened. He coughed lightly and asked, "Did that guy draw something on you?"

"Yeah, he seemed to have given me a few lotus tattoos!"

You Yao became a little angry as he spoke: "How could he do this? Doesn't he know that if he has a tattoo, he won't be able to pass the political review?"

Zhu Huai couldn't help laughing. You Yao realized what had happened and wanted to find a place to hide. He heard laughter next to his ears and saw Zhu Yingxue staring at him and laughing softly.

When You Yao looked at the beautiful pair of heterochromatic eyes, he suddenly realized that Zhu Yingxue's eyes were black and white, which looked really beautiful and unique.

Zhu Huai said, "I know what he did to you."

Zhu Huai told You Yao about the contract. When he heard that signing the contract would become a sacrifice to the gods and his wife, his face turned pale.

"What does he mean? How is this any different from robbing a man?" You Yao said, "Why would he target me?"

You Yao couldn't understand why, so Zhu Huai said, "Until we deal with him, you should stay here. With the contract, he might be able to find you no matter where you go."

You Yao's face turned pale with fear, but soon, as if he had thought of something, he said to Zhu Huai, "If that's the case, then the abbot was so badly injured, shouldn't he be hiding? Why did he come to me?"

"Because you are his." Unexpectedly, it was Zhu Yingxue who answered You Yao's words: "You have been marked by Him. Even if he dies, He will retrieve his things and drag you to death with him."

You Yao was so frightened that he started to tremble.

Zhu Huai didn't expect Zhu Yingxue to be so direct, it was as if she was threatening You Yao.

Before he could say anything, Zhu Yingxue continued, "But He is now at the end of His strength. Liu Family's wife is offering sacrifices to the God. You seem to have a grudge against that God. Why don't you... let me handle this matter."

Zhu Huai's gaze fell on him, with a meaningful look: "You want to intervene in this matter?"

"Although the heir of my Zhu family has been removed from the family, he was deceived and committed serious mistakes. Naturally, I have to deal with this matter."

Zhu Huai always felt that Zhu Yingxue didn't come for Zhu Die.

It's more like he was going after someone else's wife.

However, in the case of You Yao and Xu Xiuwen, since the contract has not yet been fully established, they are not yet a real couple.

You Yao realized in an instant that the people in front of him seemed to have a grudge against Xu Xiuwen. If Xu Xiuwen died, could he go home?

"However, my injuries have not yet fully healed, so I still need a foster child to help me."

Zhu Yingxue sighed. You Yao spoke at this moment, vaguely realizing something: "Sir, do you still mean what you said before?"

"I can help you heal."

You Yao had taken the initiative to invite Zhu Yingxue. He was fed up with the current situation and had no choice but to boldly ask for help. He certainly trusted Zhu Huai more, but Zhu Huai didn't need him.

"You?" Zhu Yingxue's gaze fell on You Yao, as if she was considering something. This made You Yao almost straighten his back. Being scrutinized by those strange eyes, after a long look, Zhu Yingxue said, "Come back to the Zhu family with me and give it a try."

You Yao breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Zhu Huai said, "Are you really going to go with him? He is the Zhu family's deity."

Zhu Huai knew that the two people in front of him were destined to be together, but he always felt that Zhu Yingxue had some bad intentions. You Yao looked at him gratefully and said, "If I follow him, can I survive?"

Zhu Huai calculated and said, "Okay."

You Yao said, "Thank you. I will listen to you. Lord Zhu Huai, you are such a good man."

Zhu Yingxue chuckled softly, seemingly without a trace of displeasure. "The Zhu family is a good place. After you help me heal my wounds, I'll help you deal with your contract. Don't worry... you won't feel uncomfortable staying there."

After hearing what He said, You Yao hesitated, but the arrow was on the string, so he could only nod.

Zhu Huai always felt like he was watching the whole process of Zhu Yingxue abducting the adopted son, but they were both willing to fight and suffer, which was better than Xu Xiuwen dying and You Yao losing half his life inexplicably.

After getting what he wanted, Zhu Yingxue stood up and prepared to leave. He left as quietly as he came.

"I'll bring you Xu Xiuwen's head." Zhu Yingxue led You Yao away, but suddenly stopped. "By the way, stop randomly predicting the fate of the gods."

The following words of his only fell into Zhu Huai's ears. These gods were quite perceptive. This did not sound like a threat, but more like a reminder.

Zhu Yingxue had once spied on Zhu Huai without his knowledge, and Zhu Huai had also calculated Zhu Yingxue's fate.

A treasure box flew towards Zhu Huai, and inside it was a golden scale. Looking at the scale, Zhu Huai's eyes changed.

As his fingers touched the scale, he seemed to see a yellow dragon bound by layers of chains, trapped deep underground, and falling into a deep sleep.

This is... a scale belonging to the earth element!

How did Zhu Yingxue get this scale?

Zhu Huai stood up and looked at Zhu Yingxue, then heard her voice from afar: "During this period of time, many interesting things seem to have happened in the Ghost Cave. Not only that, I also found this item in my treasure house. The aura on it seems to be related to the Liu family."

This deity of the Liu family seems to have some shocking secret.

Since Zhu Yingxue handed this scale to them, it means that Zhu Huai has found the clue to the last phase!

Zhu Huai took a deep breath. He turned around and looked at Liu Xiang in front of him. He saw Mu Xiang stretched out his hand. The scale was held in his hand and gradually melted in his palm.

Liu Xiang slowly clenched his hands, and he curled his lips into a smile: "The clue to the last phase is right here, in the human world."

Hearing this, Zhu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. The human world... If that's the case, then even if Xiangliu dug out the underground of the ghost den, he would not be able to find the last Xiang.

This time, their luck was even better. However, Zhu Yingxue had already hurriedly taken You Yao away, and Zhu Huai hadn't had time to invite him to stay for dinner. Zhu Huai said, "Prime Minister Liu, are you hungry?"

He was really excited, and in his high spirits, he felt his stomach growling with hunger. Liu Xiang also smiled. They sat together and enjoyed a big meal. Apart from Liu Xiang, there was no Zhu Yingxue or You Yao who came to snatch the food made by Zhu Huai from him.
