On the other side, Zhu Lei had just finished explaining her upcoming seclusion when she immediately sensed an extremely strong aura of the Ancestral Dragon surging towards her from afar.
She suddenly widened her eyes and looked in the direction of the Candlelight Palace.
"This...this is another one..." The woman was silent for a moment before finally sighing, "I knew it...I knew he wouldn't be so kind, there was another drop..."
"Leah, what did you say?"
Before Zhu Lei, Wei Qiushuang also sensed the powerful but fleeting aura of the Ancestral Dragon, but this did not arouse her suspicion.
"Mother, please do not put any more pressure on Zhuli while I am in seclusion. We will make arrangements after I emerge from seclusion!"
Wei Qiushuang did not refuse, nodded and then asked, "Leier, tell your mother what happened? You and that boy..."
"Mother..." Zhu Lei lowered her head, a dark and unfathomable light shining in her eyes, "I've made up my mind, I must snatch him from Seventh Sister's hands! I've been searching for a man who can make me stronger, nothing else matters!"
"..."
This time, Wei Qiushuang once again saw that terrifying obsession in her daughter's eyes.
...
Shen Yunhao flicked out a finger and excitedly scratched the little white snake's chin.
"Huff... huff..."
Although the little white snake was sleeping soundly, it still squinted its eyes and comfortably rolled over under Shen Yunhao's "technique".
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao poked the little white snake's bulging belly again until the slender tail tip flicked into his palm, and then he laughed heartily.
Halfway through his laughter, he suddenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. He looked up and, sure enough, found Mei Yu'er, Zhu Hong, and Bing'er staring at him with strange eyes. He quickly put the little white snake back into his sleeve and coughed twice.
"That's how it is! Anyway, if Zhu Lei is smart, she won't bother me again... Finding a place to digest that drop of dragon blood is the most important thing."
"You mean, you gave her the last drop of dragon blood?"
Everyone was quite surprised that Shen Yunhao, who was not a dragon, could obtain dragon blood from the will of the ancestral dragon. But what puzzled them the most was why Shen Yunhao would give such an important thing to his rival, Zhu Lei.
"Actually... I originally intended to give it to Senior Zhu Hong..."
Zhu Hong, on the other side, was taken aback upon hearing this. "Me? Sigh... I'm already quite old. Even if I absorbed this stuff, I could only break through to the late stage of the Spirit Void Realm at most. Reaching the Void Realm would be practically impossible. It's more cost-effective to give it to the younger generation!"
"That's only one of the reasons!"
Shen Yunhao said in a deep voice, "The most important thing is still the power behind Zhu Lei... If she keeps causing trouble for Sister Li'er, it will also give me a headache. Why not let her shift her focus to the position of Dragon King... After all, given Sister Li'er's personality, she is unlikely to compete for this position."
"..."
Mei Yu'er remained silent for a long time without refuting.
Shen Yunhao was absolutely right. For a little white dragon who sleeps in every day, as long as he can live happily, that's the best way out.
Letting her seize the throne... it's kind of ridiculous to even think about it.
Even worse, if she were to become the Dragon King, her subordinates would probably all start to give up...
"As for Zhulei... she's ambitious and resourceful, but her obsession runs too deep, making her prone to going astray. Someone has to keep her in check... This is also what Uncle wanted..."
"Hmph!" Mei Yu'er snorted coldly. "He, as the father, can't handle it, so he asks you to? Besides, what makes you think that brat won't betray her promise and continue to target Li'er after accepting the benefits?"
“First, Sister Li’er absorbed the Holy Soul, so she definitely won’t be afraid if we really fight! Second…” Shen Yunhao took out a small stone from his copper ring.
"Soundstone?"
Bing'er paused for a moment before answering.
"You actually recognize this?"
"Yeah! I saw it once in the tribe before, and I thought it was quite interesting, so I remembered it."
Shen Yunhao nodded and said, "When I gave her the dragon blood, I offered to make her my dog. She agreed and called me 'master,' which I recorded!"
"!!!"
Mei Yu'er immediately widened her eyes, stood up and scolded, "How could you do such a despicable thing! If your uncle finds out, you'll be in big trouble... Quick! Let me hear it! What does that little slut call her master sound like!"
Shen Yunhao: "..."
Zhu Hong: "..."
Bing'er: I'm used to it...
Shen Yunhao shook his head with a wry smile, "Later, my uncle actually found out about this, and the sound recording stone was destroyed..."
"Damn it! That old bastard!" Mei Yu'er scolded angrily, "He never cares about anything, but he always messes things up at crucial moments! He's driving me crazy!"
"..."
Not the eldest sister?
Is this really something that can be said?
"Ahem... Well, anyway, Zhu Lei doesn't know that the recording stone has been destroyed. Given her personality, she shouldn't dare to do anything reckless... At least, we can live in peace for a few days before she exposes it!"
Zhu Hong nodded. "As long as the other party doesn't cause trouble, we'll live a comfortable life... As for the dragon blood, we'll give it to them. To be honest, with a little polishing, Wu Gong is indeed a good candidate to become a dragon king!"
"Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird! Let's not talk about her anymore!"
Mei Yu'er waved her hand and looked at Shen Yunhao, saying, "You really deserve credit for helping Li'er obtain the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Soul this time! This girl is incredibly lucky, she even gets a Sacred Soul fed to her while lying down..."
"Forehead……"
Shen Yunhao scratched his head. Actually, Zhu Li obtained this Sacred Soul through her own abilities. Someone else might not have been able to get it...
"In that case, you'll be in charge of taking care of this girl for a while! Anyway, she likes to stick close to you, being a silly snake isn't so bad..."
Shen Yunhao nodded. "Don't worry, I guarantee it... Hmm?"
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his eyes widening as he said, "No... that's not right. Uncle said that Sister Li'er will be sleeping for another six months. Shouldn't we find her a place to cultivate in seclusion? What if something happens to her while she's with me?"
“What could possibly happen if you just stay in the Dragon Palace?” Mei Yu’er said. “Besides, if she wakes up and can’t find you, she’ll cause trouble for me again… I really can’t be bothered with her anymore, entrusting her to you is just fine!”
"..."
Seeing Shen Yunhao's lips twitch, Mei Yu'er narrowed her eyes and asked, "What? You don't want it?"
"Huh? No, no! How could that be? I'm... I'm overjoyed! Hehe... hehe..."
"That's good!" Mei Yu'er nodded with a smile. "Don't leave Beihai again until Li'er wakes up! Stay here and you'll be perfectly safe!"
"I...I understand..."
Shen Yunhao forced a laugh, but a dilemma lingered in his heart.
"If I stay here for more than half a year, what about Yao'er? Should I send her to Beihai as well?"
In my mind, a slender girl stands atop a snow-capped mountain, sword at her side.
Finally, she suddenly turned her head, a soft smile blooming on her face...
"My husband..."
