Chapter 172 The King’s Doubts

Seeing Gu Zhihan suddenly looking over, Yu Cang laughed dryly.

Why does it feel like there's something wrong with my aunt's eyes?

Did she misunderstand something...

Gu Zhihan's mood at this moment was very complicated.

She couldn't ask directly, it would be so embarrassing if it really happened.

but……

Thinking of the scene she saw when she just arrived at the hospital, Gu Zhihan's eyes softened slightly.

Gu Jieshuang's consciousness was summoned away by an unknown existence, and everything about the other party was unknown. According to the doctor, Yu Cang had basically no hesitation at that time and immediately followed into the summoning channel.

To be fair, no matter who it is, they would be a little scared when facing this situation, but Yu Cang was able to put all of this aside, which shows that he is really serious about Jie Shuang.

Moreover, Yu Cang was lying on the bed at that time, sometimes frowning, sometimes bleeding from the mouth and nose, which really made her feel distressed. It can be imagined that they must have experienced a very difficult battle in that space.

Seeing Yu Cang like this, Gu Zhihan actually felt a little guilty.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhihan retracted his gaze: "Jie Shuang, you can't take Yu Cang's things for nothing."

"I know..." Gu Jieshuang said quickly, "I am seriously paying back the money!"

"That's good." Gu Zhihan returned the Frost Sky Slash to Gu Jieshuang, "Treat Xiao Cang well. Now that it has come to this, you should control your temper. When two people are together, mutual understanding is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jieshuang was stunned.

This step? Which step?

She could only nod confusedly and said, "Oh... I know, I'm not a child anymore..."

Gu Jieshuang didn't realize anything, but Yu Cang's face suddenly turned red.

He seemed to know what Aunt Gu had misunderstood... After all, he was also a card maker, and he knew a little about some of the weird resonance methods.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to explain, I heard Gu Jieshuang had already agreed. Aunt Gu also looked normal, as if she didn't care...

Forget it, I won’t explain it.

Yu Cang looked away.

In this situation, it seems that it would be even more wrong to explain it seriously.

...That's not right. I'm innocent, why do you feel so guilty?

Gu Zhihan gently patted Gu Jieshuang's hand, smiled, and said nothing.

Yu Cang is indeed a very outstanding young man with a good personality. No matter what, she has no dissatisfaction with him.

"Okay, in that case, Xiao Cang, you should put in more effort and try your best to summon Frost Wings." Ren Zheng said, "I know it's not easy for you to make a legendary soul card now. Try to simplify it. I believe you can do it."

"Okay, I understand." Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it felt strange, Aunt Gu didn't seem to ask any further questions, so that was fine...

Suddenly, Yu Cang thought of something. He turned around and asked, "Oh right... I don't think your being summoned to the Bloodline Empire is a sudden event. Jie Shuang, I remember you went to the Liegong Ancient Cave a few days ago. Did you encounter anything strange in there?"

Gu Jieshuang thought carefully for a moment and shook his head: "No... I just walked around the periphery normally, and didn't go deep."

Yu Cang frowned slightly: "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

Yu Cang was silent for a while.

It doesn't matter? Did I guess wrong?

Meanwhile, Ren Zheng, standing by, waved his hand and said directly, "Regardless of whether there's any connection or not, since we have suspicions, we can't just let it go... I'll go back and tell some of my old buddies to seal up the Liegong Ancient Cave for the next few years. No one should enter."

Yu Cang glanced sideways: "Old man, you...is this okay?"

Although there are many dangerous tombs in the ancient capital, the Liegong Ancient Cave is one of the more important ones. Many powerful soul cards have been produced in it. Is it really okay to seal it up all of a sudden?

"It's okay, don't worry." Ren Zheng said as a matter of course, "The opening of dangerous areas must ensure that the danger within cannot spread. Now that the frost has happened, it is reasonable to seal off the Liegong Ancient Cave."

Ren Zheng said this, but he felt a little depressed in his heart.

As a guardian of the country, he had many privileges. As a person, he didn't have that many privileges to use. The only one who could use them was Yu Cang, but he always refused.

He could sense that Yu Cang was afraid that he would abuse his power... No, that was just the beginning. He had barely used the privileges of defending the country many times. Was there any need for you to worry about me?

Ren Zheng was really speechless and helpless.

How can you want to help but have no place to go?

But fortunately, he can finally be used this time.

Yu Cang did not refuse: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Ren Zheng waved his hand: "It's okay."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Gu Zhihan and Ren Zheng stood up tacitly and left the ward.

You have learned almost everything you need to know, so leave the rest of the time for the young people to be alone.

After the two left, the room fell silent for a moment.

Yu Cang turned to look at Gu Jieshuang, and after a moment, he said, "Jieshuang, next time you encounter something similar, tell me first, okay?"

Gu Jieshuang pulled up the quilt to cover her slightly flushed face.

She didn't dare look at Yu Cang, and uttered a mumbling voice: "I know..."

What are you doing? So domineering.

On the bedside table, the weeping girl manipulated the little doll and poured warm water into the two people's cups.

…

Bloodline Empire

Above the sea of ​​blood, below the heavens.

Yaoqi was standing in the air. At this moment, he withdrew his hand and gasped for breath.

"Finally... it's cleaned up." Yaoqi checked carefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was indeed nothing missing.

Before his eyes, the pale sun had disappeared, and all the white candlelight had been carefully cleared away by him.

However, a massive spherical cavity, created by the flames, still floated in the sky, filled with distorted light and shadows, like an alien space. This spherical cavity was the only place in the entire Bloodline Empire devoid of blood.

However, although this hole looks scary, it is only a minor problem. As long as some hybrids are consumed, this hole can be easily filled.

Yaoqi turned his head and his gaze fell on another thing, a hint of distress flashing in his eyes again.

In his eyes, this small thing in front of him was much more difficult to deal with than the remnants of the mythical power.

This is a blood-colored liquid ball, only the size of a thumb. It is inconspicuous in the Blood Empire. Once thrown down, it will surely dissolve in the sea of ​​blood soon.

But Yaoqi didn't dare to do that. From the beginning until now, he had been using his strength to control the ball of blood in the air, not daring to let it touch anything.

This small ball of blood is naturally Qi'er's wild beast bloodline.

Although it is just a small amount, if it is left unchecked, it is enough to pollute the entire bloodline world.

This was the first warning in the inherited memory, and he had to take it seriously.

"Damn it, how could there be a hybrid of a wild beast in this world!" Yaoqi cursed inwardly.

Isn't the wilderness a natural enemy of life? Even if the Mortals had some way to avoid being infected by the wilderness, they shouldn't have mixed blood with them.

Putting aside other things, just looking at Huang's horrible appearance, who could have the heart to do that to him?

But no matter how much he cursed, now that the blood was in his hands, he had to deal with it.

It was too late to throw it out. There was no conditional True Blood Channel to form now, and the only imperial portal was still a young man...

He now only has one descendant who can open and close the portal freely, and he dare not send out something as dangerous as the bloodline of a wild beast through this only descendant.

Although the human race is not afraid of Huang's infection, this is something that will pass through the blood in the body after all, and he dare not take the risk.

Then... I can only take it in myself first.

Fortunately, the Demon King Seal is not afraid of the wilderness.

Thinking of this, he slowly fell down and fell into the sea of ​​blood together with the Demon King Seal that was pulled on the sea by thunder.

I don’t know how long it took.

Boom!

The Demon King's Seal fell to the bottom of the sea with a loud noise, and countless blood-colored sea sands were shaken up and scattered.

Looking around, the Demon King Seal is located in a building made of huge stones. Thick iron chains connect the stone pillars. In the distance, there are some huge building shadows stacked on top of each other, forming a simple palace complex.

call……

The giant creature swam across the seabed, bringing up waves of water. Yaoqi looked up and saw a huge fish-shaped monster swimming leisurely.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he suppressed his anger and said, "You are awake? Why didn't you help just now?"

The strange beast swam past and said, "Just woke up."

Then it swung its huge tail fin and swam out of sight.

Yaoqi was almost angry to death.

At this moment, he really had an urge to directly activate the authority of the Demon King's Seal and teach this disobedient minister a lesson.

...Forget it, just bear with it.

After all, he didn't disobey my orders, so I shouldn't put too much pressure on him.

He has his own policy on governing.

However, some spirit beasts do rely on their own strength and usually ignore my orders.

I can't open the Demon King's Seal all the time... I'm not the kind of king who oppresses his subjects at will!

At this time, the sea sand under his feet slowly dispersed, revealing a wriggling wall of flesh, from which a human face emerged.

It was Jie Ting.

"Your Majesty," Jie said, lowering his head and looking pleased, "please do not be angry. Your wisdom and ability are known to all. They simply have not yet seen your achievements. Once our great cause is accomplished, all the beasts will naturally return to their hearts."

Yaoqi calmed down a little: "That's natural."

After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and the drop of blood in his palm flew out automatically. Protected by an inexplicable force, it isolated all the blood and flew into a crack in the Demon King's Seal.

The Demon King's Seal is not afraid of desolation. The only solution now is to temporarily store this drop of blood in it.

Yaoqi stood at the bottom of the sea, looking at the seal in front of him, and fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jie Ting just stayed by his side silently.

Suddenly, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, and he said, "Jie Ting. Am I really the King of All Monsters?"

Jie Ting answered decisively: "Of course."

"But why are there so many spirit beasts who have never heard of my name?"

Frostwing was not the first person who had never heard of the name of the Demon King. Before, he had summoned many similar spirit beasts, and the stronger the strength, the more likely this situation would occur.

Jie Ting explained, "After all, death is too difficult to endure. Under the defilement of human bloodlines, many spirit beasts' inherited memories have been lost over a long period of time. It is reasonable that they can't remember them for a while. Moreover, those powerful spirit beasts were also arrogant and proud when they were alive. After death, they lost their memories, so it is normal for them to neglect you.

"Think about it, after you revealed the power of the Demon King Seal, didn't they all remember it all at once?"

Yaoqi's expression softened a bit: "You have a point."

"And, think about it," Jie Ting continued, "the existence of the Demon King Seal proves the existence of the Demon King. And if you're not the king, how could you control the power of the Demon King Seal? Look, isn't the spirit beast carved on the Demon King Seal your own race?"

"...Then why did Frost Wing say this was the Emperor's Seal?"

"Humans also have similar seals, but they're merely status symbols, not powerful. Since seals often look similar, it's understandable that they could be mistaken."

"Their seals also have images of my race engraved on them?"

"You know, the history of spirit beasts is much longer than that of humans. Many human cultures were imitated from spirit beasts. As the symbol of power among spirit beasts, the Demon King was naturally imitated as well."

"Yeah." Yaoqi nodded, obviously believing it.

Immediately, his expression became somewhat indignant: "Why didn't my elders do anything about it? The powerful image of the Demon King was just taken away by the human race?"

Seeing that he finally believed it, Jie Ting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "This... I dare not comment on the late king's actions..."

He couldn't help but feel emotional.

Fortunately, this guy is stupid and easy to deceive. If it were some smart spiritual beasts, I'm afraid they wouldn't be fooled today.

"It's alright, I'm the Demon King now." Yao Qi waved his hand, very magnanimously, "If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it's beneficial to the spirit beast tribe, I'm willing to listen to anything!"

"Wang is wise." Jie Ting bowed his head.

Yaoqi coughed lightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction, and it was obvious that he was very pleased with Jie Ting's praise.

"By the way." Yao Qi changed the subject, "You've been researching the human race's Soul Card for a while now, right? How's the progress?"

"King," Jie heard, "Now, with the help of soul cards, some weaker spirit beasts can already come to the real world to take a breath. Stronger spirit beasts can also temporarily use soul cards to display some of their power."

Although the Bloodline Empire prevented them from being completely destroyed by the infection of the wild beasts, they were now only conscious and had no way to leave the Bloodline Empire.

Fortunately, humans have developed a good thing called Soul Card, which gives them hope of leaving here.

However, the brains of spirit beasts have never been very good. Jie Ting is considered smart. He has been studying here for almost a thousand years before he barely understood the system of soul cards.

Yao Qi was a little dissatisfied: "Then how long do I have to wait before I can go out for a walk?"

"Your Majesty, research progress is only one aspect," Jie Ting explained. "Right now, Wu Chen's cultivation is the main factor restricting our arrival. According to the division of power on the human side, Wu Chen must cultivate to at least the eighth level of state defense to support your arrival."

The Wu Chen he was referring to wasn't a spirit beast, but a half-blood. He was the aforementioned "gateway" that could open and close freely within the Bloodline Empire.

"So what's his current level?"

"It's only level five now..."

"Isn't this fast? Only three levels away."

"Uh..." Jie Ting looked worried, not knowing how to explain to Yaoqi.

"Let him come as soon as possible. He will have the merit of welcoming us and will have a place in the empire in the future."

“Yes, yes…”

"Okay, go down."

"Yes." Jie Ting lowered his head slightly, then drilled into the flesh wall and disappeared.

Yaoqi still stood there.

Looking at the Demon King Seal in front of him, he gently opened his arms and closed his eyes.

"The present world... what kind of place would it be?"

His consciousness is different from those awakened spirit beasts.

Most of the spirit beasts had died before, and came here for various reasons. They had all seen the scenes of the present world.

And he... has been in this bloodline empire since the day he was born. Everywhere he looks is blood-red. He has never seen a colorful world.

"Just wait..." Yaoqi opened his eyes, "I will bring my empire back to the real world - be prepared to welcome the king!"

This is not only his wish, but also his duty as a king.

…

"Senior, I'm here to see you." Lin Yunqing pushed the door open carrying a basket of apples.

Behind him, Jiang Lou and a few others followed.

Seeing this, the weeping girl quickly controlled the little dolls to jump to the side, took out a few paper cups, and poured water into them one by one.

"Thank you." Wang Chang took the cup and said thank you subconsciously.

"You're welcome. This is what a weeping girl should do." The little doll put its hands together in front of itself and bowed very appropriately.

These words actually scared Wang Changzhi.

Jiang Lou was surprised and asked, "This...it can talk?"

On the hospital bed, Yu Cang explained: "Oh, I don't think I've introduced her to you yet - her name is Weeping Girl, and she's my new partner."

Wang Changzhi's eyes widened. "Partner... just like Ye Lai?"

Yu Cang nodded: "Yes."

"Wow, Master." Jiang Lou's eyes lit up. "Have you matured your pet card skills? Master, I want one too. I want one too. My requirements aren't high. Just a curvy half-dragon will do. It would be even better if I could customize its body and outfit myself!"

Upon hearing this, the polite expression on the weeping girl's face immediately turned into a subtle disgust, and she couldn't help but take a step back quietly.

Oh, what disgusting humans.

How could the master know such a disgusting guy?

"Master, don't listen to him." Qiu Ding stepped forward and pushed Jiang Lou aside. "You're not as vulgar as me... Master, do you have a pet card that can transform? Like a pet that looks like a maid on weekdays, but turns into a machine gun when it comes to battle?"

The disgust on the weeping girl's face became even stronger, and she secretly exclaimed in her heart.

You're not much better.

Yu Cang rolled his eyes: "Don't give me that... If I could make a card pet maid, I would have made it myself a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, the weeping girl's expression immediately became serious.

Well... the master likes to pet the maid, remember that!

It seems that I will have to ask Master Qi'er to find more video materials about maids so that I can secretly learn from them...

Gu Jieshuang: “…Boss.”

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but there were so many people around that she couldn't speak.

What do you do if you like maids and want to find pet cards?

Who do you think is cleaning your card-making room every day? Damn it!
