"Wah!" Xiao Bao's cries were incredibly powerful.
Not only those inside the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but also those outside, could hear it clearly.
Hearing Xiao Bao's cries, Xuan Yuanzhan and Duanmu Junyu both frowned.
Although Xuan Yuanzhan also felt sorry for her, he still looked at Duanmu Junyu and comforted her, "Grandpa wanted Xiaobao to also have the Azure Dragon mark engraved. It seems that it has been engraved. Children have a weak sense of pain, so it will be fine in a while."
"Hmm." Although Duanmu Junyu felt sorry for him, as the Empress of Xiliang, she could understand the old man's feelings.
Besides having the children acknowledge their ancestors, the old man was probably also thinking about summoning the Azure Dragon mythical beast.
However, such things are rare and can only be encountered by chance. Neither Xiao Bao nor Yun An may be able to summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast.
He heard Xiao Bao's wailing and curled his lip in disdain: "This old man heard that the little boy summoned the Xuanwu divine beast, and now he's desperately trying to make him acknowledge his ancestors. Isn't he just trying to get him to summon the Qinglong divine beast for Northern Wei? But this little boy is the crown prince of Eastern Chu. How could he possibly summon our Northern Wei's divine beast? The old man is dreaming!"
In fact, they all knew what the old man was thinking, but how could the Azure Dragon Divine Beast be summoned so easily?
Helian Zheng frowned, feeling somewhat irritated: "I hope they can't summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast."
The situation is already very serious for them.
If they were to actually summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast again, then they wouldn't even need to fight for the throne; they would definitely not be able to win it.
Hearing Helian Zheng say this, Helian Qin also became uneasy.
"Hiss!" As Xiao Bao's cries grew louder and louder, a gigantic beast suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The people below had never seen such a scene before, and they were all terrified.
"What is that?"
"It looks like a monster!"
"Could it be our Azure Dragon divine beast?"
"The Azure Dragon divine beast shouldn't look like this!"
"Look, it has a dragon's head, a tortoise's body, a snake's tail, and giant wings—it's the Black Tortoise!"
"That's the Xuanwu divine beast!"
"So this is the Xuanwu Divine Beast! It's huge!"
"But this is Northern Wei! Isn't the Xuanwu divine beast the guardian beast of Eastern Chu? How could it appear in Northern Wei?"
"You've forgotten that the Empress of Western Liang and the new Emperor of Eastern Chu are both in Northern Wei, and they're currently in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. What's so strange about the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise appearing here?"
"Did you hear the baby crying in the ancestral temple? The baby that His Highness the Crown Prince's daughter was holding just now is the Crown Prince of Eastern Chu. I heard that he was the one who summoned the Xuanwu divine beast, so when he cries, the Xuanwu appears on his body."
"I see! When I first saw this giant beast, I thought it was our Azure Dragon divine beast!"
Not to mention the common people, even Helian Zheng and his group were terrified when they saw the giant beast suddenly appear in mid-air.
They also thought it was the Azure Dragon divine beast that had appeared.
Heaven knows, if they really did summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, then they really wouldn't be able to seize the throne.
After all, the Northern Wei also believed in divine beasts. Even if the divine beast had not yet appeared, whoever could summon the Azure Dragon divine beast would surely have the throne. No matter who tried to take it, it would be useless, and the people would not accept it!
Just as the Xuanwu mythical beast was about to rush into the ancestral temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xuanyuan Zhan quickly called out to it: "Xuanwu."
The Xuanwu divine beast turned back and glanced anxiously at Xuanyuan Zhan, seemingly worried about Xiao Bao's condition.
Xuanyuan Zhan quickly explained, "Don't worry, Xiaobao is fine. He's imprinting the Azure Dragon mark, and he'll stop crying soon."
"Hiss!" The Xuanwu Divine Beast seemed to understand Xuanyuan Zhan's words and snorted disdainfully, seemingly very dissatisfied with them making Xiao Bao imprint the Azure Dragon mark.
Xuanyuan Zhan comforted him, "Anyway, it's not just you who has the Xuanwu mark. It doesn't matter if you have one more or one less. Don't get angry."
"Hiss!" The Xuanwu divine beast grumbled again in dissatisfaction, but it did not force its way into the ancestral temple.
However, it did not leave, but instead lay prostrate beside Xuanyuan Zhan, seemingly waiting for Xiaobao to come out.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at the unusually docile Xuanwu divine beast and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
This Xuanwu beast really cares about Xiaobao. With it protecting him, Xiaobao is truly safe.
The Azure Dragon mark inside had been imprinted, and Xiao Bao cried for a while before gradually stopping.
Su Xuening kissed Xiaobao tenderly, comforting him while applying ointment to his wound.
Su Yun'an and Su Renzhong also came to help. The three of them applied the medicine and comforted Xiaobao.
Looking at the bright red mark on Xiao Bao's back, Su Yun'an felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
He still remembers the pain he felt when he made the Vermilion Bird mark; it was so painful, he had never experienced such pain in his life.
Now he has to go through it all again, what a tragedy!
After Helian Rong finished making a copy of the Azure Dragon mark for Xiao Bao, he excitedly ran out to take a look.
Su Yun'an looked at Helian Rong strangely: "What is Great-Grandfather looking at?"
Su Xuening glanced at Helian Rong and said with a wry smile, "Perhaps he's checking if he can summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast."
"The Azure Dragon Divine Beast?" Su Yun'an asked in surprise.
Great-grandfather actually hoped that Xiao Bao could summon the Azure Dragon divine beast, but Xiao Bao had already summoned the Black Tortoise divine beast, so how could he summon the Azure Dragon divine beast?
Su Xuening didn't want Su Yun'an to feel pressured, so she smiled and said to him, "You don't need to worry about these things. He asked you to make a copy of the Azure Dragon Mark, so just make a copy of the Azure Dragon Mark. Don't worry about the Azure Dragon Divine Beast."
Su Renzhong patted Su Yun'an's head and said, "Your sister is right. Whether or not you can summon the Azure Dragon Mark is up to fate. You don't need to worry about it."
Su Yun'an naturally didn't care about any Azure Dragon Divine Beast; he was just afraid of pain!
Helian Rong waited for a while but the Azure Dragon Divine Beast did not appear. Instead, he saw the Black Tortoise Divine Beast and could only say enviously, "It is the Black Tortoise Divine Beast that has come, not the Azure Dragon Divine Beast."
Su Xuening was amused by his hesitant expression and explained, "Because Xiaobao summoned the Xuanwu Divine Beast, the Xuanwu Divine Beast will protect Xiaobao. It must have heard Xiaobao crying just now, which is why it appeared."
Helian Rong nodded and said helplessly, "It seems that our Northern Wei is not fortunate enough to have this."
Su Xuening and Su Renzhong exchanged a glance, unsure how to comfort the old man.
After all, summoning a divine beast is something that can only be done by chance. No one can guarantee who will eventually summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast. Perhaps it will be the next emperor, or perhaps it will be an emperor many, many, many years from now. No one can say for sure!
Helian Rong took a deep breath and fixed his last gaze on Su Yun'an: "We still have An'er, we still have a chance!"
