Agares frowned, then followed closely behind. The air raid siren hadn't sounded above his residence, and he hadn't sensed any danger. Yanliu's shouts were so loud that they must have been about something else, not something that threatened his life.

Yan Liu's scream was loud and clear, especially deafening in the early morning before sunrise, and echoed for a long time. It not only woke up Jiang Si, but also woke up everyone else.

Jiang Si was the first to run over, barefoot, with her hair down, wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown, looking petite, delicate, innocent yet alluring: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Yanliu jumped up and down, pointing to her door, looking like a child who had never eaten candy before and was suddenly given a huge pile of candy: "Master, look, look, look! Ah, look, look!"

Jiang Si paused slightly, then looked in the direction the woman was pointing and saw a large basket placed in front of her door.

A large basket that could hold three or four of her, filled with zombie crystal cores of varying sizes, shapes, and colors!

A basket full of zombie crystal cores. I don't know how many there are, but I estimate it weighs at least three or four hundred pounds.

"My goodness!" Jiang Si walked over, reached out and picked up a zombie crystal core, held it up. The most primitive zombie crystal core had not been polished. Although it was not very crystal clear, it shimmered with fluorescence and was full of energy. It was incredibly beautiful: "My little Yanliu baby, you went out and got so many. Are you going to wipe them out? There won't be any to eat next time."

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me." Yan Liu grabbed Jiang Si's arm and shook it, explaining, "Master, it's not mine, it's not mine. I have a space, and I can eat, how could I leave it outside?"

That's true!

Yanliu has space; it can hold not only three or four hundred pounds of zombie crystal cores, but also three or four thousand pounds.

Jiang Si suddenly realized and asked her, "Who put it here?"

"I don't know either..."

“Whoever put it here, it’s yours now that it’s at your doorstep.” Agares interrupted Yanliu, walked over, took out slippers from his spatial storage, bent down, knelt on one knee, held Jiang Si’s ankle, lifted her foot, wiped it, and put it in the slippers. After her foot was in the slippers, he took a coat and put it on her, looking at Yanliu and saying, “This basket of star diamond ore, now that it’s here, is it yours, isn’t it?”

Yan Liu slapped her forehead, her beautiful black eyes sparkling with brilliance, even her green hair radiating joy: "Yes, it's placed at my door, if it's not mine, then whose is it?"

“Master, master, this basket of things is mine. Here, here, this level 45 item is for you, this level 35 item is for you, this level 30 item is for you, and this level 50 item is for you too.”

"This level 20 one is barely acceptable, you can have it too. Here's another level 35 one that slipped through the net, you can have it too, you can have it too. Quickly pack it up, quickly pack it up and take it back to eat slowly, use slowly, play slowly."

Yan Liu acted swiftly and decisively, turning the basket full of zombie crystal cores upside down, and giving all the zombie crystal cores of level 20 and above to Jiang Si.

With his hands stuffed full and his coat pockets full, Agares, the tool, silently pulled out a basket from his spatial storage.

Yan Liu threw the crystal cores she found into the basket, and in no time the basket was full.

Yanliu shook the basket and said, "Master, I've only found this much that you can eat for now. Take it back and eat it first. Later, when I find something of better quality, higher quality, and purer, I'll bring it to you."

"Don't worry, I've calculated it. There are at least 100 million zombies in the Sichuan Basin. I can kill tens of thousands of them every now and then, and that can last for many years."

"Besides Sichuan, there are other places. More than 3,000 years ago, the total population of the earth was seven or eight billion. Only a few million or tens of millions survived. After deducting those who died and those we killed in the past, there are probably at least two or three billion zombies left."

“They must be hiding somewhere on Earth. Now that we’re back, I’ll go out and search whenever I have free time. I’m sure I can find their hideout and bring you the highest-grade, purest zombie crystal cores to eat.”

In Yanliu's eyes, nothing is more important than her master, not even her little master. When she has something good, the first person she thinks of is her master, just as the first person her master thinks of is her.

Jiang Si looked at the excited Yan Liu and poured cold water on her, reminding her: "Little Yan Liu, don't even think about the highest level and purest zombie crystal core, you can't get it."

Yan Liu glared and patted her chest fiercely: "Master, what are you joking about? As long as there's a crystal core in my brain, there's no zombie I can't take down. Whoever you say it is, I'll find it and eat it for you."

Jiang Si casually tossed out three words: "Shu Xubai!"

Yan Liu fell silent instantly, then exclaimed, "Oh, him? He's not purebred, he's a hybrid, so he doesn't count."

Agares, carrying a basket full of zombie crystal cores, mischievously reminded her from the side, "Your Highness Yanliu, Jiang Jiang said that Shu Xubai is the King of Zombies. Are you sure his crystal core isn't the most powerful one?"

Yanliu snorted and began waving her hands to shoo them away. She couldn't be mean to her master, but she could be mean to Agares: "I said no, and that's it. Why all this nonsense? Alright, alright, alright, you take my master back to sleep. Go, go, go!"

Who can defeat that old codger Shu Xubai? Even if his blood is drained and he becomes a dried-up corpse, he can come back to life as long as he gets a drop of blood. He's not easy to die, he's really not easy to die.

Especially with that skeleton bat beside him, a bat with holes all over its body and no flesh or blood, but it stored Shu Xubai's life-saving blood. As long as Shu Xubai was drained of blood and died, it would come forward and give him a drop of blood to keep him alive.

If the master really fought him, it would be a bit difficult. She would have to fight him to the death, and it wouldn't be impossible if neither of them could gain the upper hand.

Agares put the basket into his spatial storage, bent down, and pulled Jiang Si onto his arm: "Princess, let's go."

Even though Jiang Si knew his arm was strong and steady, and his other hand was supporting her back, she still habitually reached out and hugged his neck, saying to Yan Liu, "Yan Liu, my little darling, you should absorb more too, and make yourself stronger and stronger."

Yanliu waved to her: "Okay, okay, Master, you should go back to sleep now, I'm going inside too."

Jiang Si nodded, but didn't speak to her. Instead, she told Agares to slow down.

Yan Liu picked up the large basket placed at the door, opened the door and went inside. With a splash, she dumped the entire basket of zombie crystal cores onto the ground.

The colorful, uniquely shaped zombie crystals emitted a dazzling light and an alluring aroma of spiritual energy under the illumination of the lights.

Yanliu kicked off her shoes and flung them off, then, like a kite with a broken string, she crashed into a pile of colorful zombie crystals, transforming into a tiny Yanliu with countless roots.

The countless roots sprouting from the tiny willow saplings entwined around the zombie crystal core, absorbing the energy within it—one, two, three, four, countless…

With the replenishment of energy, the branches of the willow tree became stronger and the leaves became greener. Many leaves were like jade, a translucent, beautiful green that was dazzling.

Jiang Si was being carried by Agares. Along the way, they encountered many people who had heard Yan Liu scream and ran over. She explained the situation to them.

After listening to the story, one by one they went back to sleep, still wearing their pajamas or nightgowns, their hair a mess, yawning.

When Jiang Si passed by the courtyard where Cangying and Quanjian lived, she smelled a faint scent of dragon blood. Given her distance, the fact that she could smell it even from the closed doors and windows indicated that Cangying was seriously injured.

Jiang Si didn't say anything and went back to her room. Agares carried her to the bathroom, where she brushed her teeth, washed her face, and after changing her clothes, she deliberately asked Agares, "Marshal Agares, who gave our little Yanliu her zombie crystal core?"

Agares took out the zombie crystal core that Yanliu had given him, picked up a stool, sat down in front of Jiang Si, took out a cloth and spread it on his lap, put on gloves, picked up a zombie crystal core, disinfected it, and then placed it in Jiang Si's hand: "The answer is obvious, Princess Consort, you know the answer but are asking a question."

With a snap, Jiang Si crushed the zombie crystal core in her hand, absorbing its energy and turning a priceless stone into dust: "What do you think he's trying to do? He doesn't love our Yanliu, and our Yanliu doesn't love him either. He risked his life, got injured, to bring this thing over and put it at her door. What's the point?"

Agares's words, though brief, conveyed a sense of awe: "Joy is yet to be known!"

"Is it possible that you're already happy?" Jiang Si's back straightened instantly, her gaze fixed intently on Agares: "Are you referring to our Yanliu, or him?"

Agares glanced at his princess, took out a bucket, pried open her fingers, and shook the zombie crystal core fragments from her hand into the bucket. He then placed the second zombie crystal core in her hand and said slowly, "Of course, it is possible that the High Priest of the Deep Sea Mermaid Clan, Lord Cangying, has already taken a liking to our Princess Yanliu."

"No way!" Jiang Si crossed her legs, looking like she was listening to gossip. "How come I didn't see it? I didn't see a single clue. How did you figure it out?"

Agares tapped her hand, reminding her to quickly absorb the energy from the crystal core, saying, "There's a sign. The flames were still burning just now, didn't you see?"

Jiang Si, like a little fool, crushed the second crystal core in her hand, absorbed the energy inside, threw the crumbs into the bucket, and asked in confusion, "No, you've been by my side since I woke up, and I haven't seen Cangying. Where did this idea come from?"

Agares waved the cleaned zombie crystal in front of her eyes: "Isn't this a sign? If you don't like someone, would you give her something?"

Jiang Si nodded, then shook her head: "That's not right. I give things to other people every day. Does that mean I have a crush on someone? There's something wrong with what you're saying."

Agares placed the crystal core in her palm: "It's different. When you give things to others, do you do it secretly?"

Jiang Si's eyes suddenly lit up: "I'm perfectly aboveboard!"

Agares tapped her nose: "Isn't the difference obvious? Isn't the clue obvious? If someone likes you but isn't good at expressing it, they might be secretive because they don't know what's going on. If they don't like you, they'll be open about it, calling each other brothers, and even lying in the same bed without any problems."

"Lord Cangying is the High Priest of the Deep Sea Mermaid Clan, who has served as the Queen of the Deep Sea Mermaid Clan for two and a half dynasties. He is proud, aloof, and unapproachable. At the same time, he is stubborn, obstinate, and obstinate. Once he has made up his mind about something, he rarely listens to the opinions of others."

"He believes in fate, destiny, and his own calculations, yet he is also extremely responsible and doesn't shirk responsibility. So I guess Yanliu was just teasing him, saying she slept with him, and he took it seriously. Even when Yanliu explained later, he didn't listen."

Jiang Si exclaimed, "No way! Yan Liu was just teasing him. Not only did Yan Liu explain to him, but I also explained it to him. He just wouldn't listen to either of us."

Agares raised an eyebrow: "Most likely."

Jiang Si gasped and grabbed Agares's hand: "Honey, you said he didn't believe Yan Liu when she said she slept with him as a joke. Then, then, my Yan Liu treats him like a tool dragon for incubating eggs. Will he think your lovely nephew or niece is his child?"

Agares coughed suddenly: "You gave the little green dragon's second egg to Yanliu, and Yanliu went to him to incubate the egg?"

Jiang Si nodded with difficulty: "Yes, Yan Liu gave the egg to Cangying to hatch so that it could become her cool mount as soon as possible. It's probably been two days."

As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, Agares flicked her head, saying helplessly yet indulgently, "Not only are these things unclear, but he's also absolutely certain that he's treating my nephew or niece as his own offspring."

"Therefore, it makes more sense that he gave Yanliu so many zombie crystal cores. This high priest of the deep-sea mermaid clan felt that he could not give Yanliu a marriage, so he compensated her in other ways. He was so concerned about compensating himself that he did not even know it himself."

"What should we do then?" Jiang Si asked Agares. She knew Cangying was stubborn and old-fashioned, but she didn't expect him to be so inflexible and to make up his own ideas like this.

Agares paused for a moment: "It's really not easy right now, the key is that our second child, the little dragon egg, likes him!"

Jiang Si was speechless: "Isn't it normal for people of the same clan to like each other?"

Agares shook his head slightly: "Dragons are a domineering race. They have only one partner for life, and their possessiveness towards their partners is beyond imagination, unmatched by any other race."

"Among the dragons, some dragons do not like their own dragon eggs. After laying the eggs and letting them hatch, they let them die on their own. Most of them prefer to have only their mate and themselves in the nest."

"Therefore, there isn't much mutual affection among members of the same kind. Whether it's a young dragon or an adult dragon, unless it's a mate, if our second egg clings to someone else and they want it to be incubated, it will feel like this is my child, that we are naturally close to each other, that we are of the same bloodline, and that I must hatch it!"
