Chapter 820: Chapter 649: Born a Beauty
Baili An lightly coughed, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, “I think the main point shouldn’t be this.”
Lin Zheng had one foot on the chair, reaching out to tear a chicken leg off the oily large roasted chicken, and stuffed it fiercely into his mouth.
Chewing on the chicken leg, his cheeks bulged twice, and soon he spat out a bare chicken bone, his eyes wide open: “How is that not the main point? I’ve heard this Female Demon Lord has lived for thousands of years. Taking a royal consort would be just like taking a concubine for her.
Who knows how many boy toys and lovers she’s got in her hands, at least our Emperor chooses won through a proper selection process to take as consorts.
But she, she’s directly playing tyrant and getting her way. Brother, let give you a heads-up, if you really end up on that king’s embroidered couch, be ntally prepared to be drained. With your small fra, you’ll be plundered thoroughly!”
While saying this, the Young Marquis shivered, patting his own face with that greasy hand, and bemoaned to himself:
“Being this handso, I’d better hide myself well, lest that old da with a taste for handso n takes by force.”
Ye Shu held his forehead, his expression full of pain.
While the Young Marquis worried for his chastity, his eyeballs turned slyly, one hand cupped beside his mouth, looking as if he were gossiping:
“Brother Si Chen, I’ve heard that during the ancient Immortal Demon war, this Demon Lord was beheaded and dismbered by the Golden Immortals in the heavens, with her head and body sealed separately in the two polar lands of yin and yang.
You see, how rciful and tender-hearted those Immortals were; even when the Chaos Beast wreaked havoc, when defeated, turned out to be a beautiful maiden upon a closer look.
These Immortals didn’t kill her, just brought her back to the Gusheng Palace and sealed her beneath the Emperor’s throne, where she listened to the Emperor’s words for a millennium and eventually developed an immortal body. In the end, she was even accepted by the Emperor as a Heavenly Consort, and her days couldn’t be more comfortable.”
Seeing Lin Zheng’s gossiping reach the Nine Heavens, even narrating the past romances of the Immortal Venerable, Baili An raised his hand to interrupt, but Lin Zheng, in his excitent, lifted his greasy hand and blocked his arm, continuing to speak:
“Look, even the ancient ferocious Chaos Beast was spared by these Immortals. If that Female Demon Lord looked good, how could she end up being beheaded?
I think this Demon Lord must have been born with a face that offends both gods and n, one that people would love to chop her head off at first sight.”
Baili An: “…”
Ye Shu pressed the throbbing vein on his forehead back down, saying coldly, “Don’t worry. If the Demon Lord truly had her eyes on you, you wouldn’t be lying here without anyone asking about you now.”
Lin Zheng was taken aback, touching his cheek: “That makes no sense.”
Baili An suddenly laughed, “Young Marquis seems to be skirting around.”
Ye Shu picked up a teacup and took another careful sip. He loved tea, but unfortunately, having spent years with Lin Zheng at the War Slave Camp, he hadn’t slled the fragrance of tea for a long ti.
Whenever worry arose, he especially enjoyed sipping tea while contemplating: “The Netherworld Dragon disaster is over; with Si Chen’s disposition, he surely won’t continue to languish in the Demon World.”
Ye Shu was a smart man, he clearly understood that he and Lin Zheng were still alive due to the relationship between Baili An and the Demon Lord.
But at the sa ti, he also understood that Baili An wasn’t willing to beco a woman’s royal consort. The aning behind his words was simple.
If you intend to leave, though my strength is minuscule, I am willing to fight for you.
Baili An’s expression shifted slightly, his gaze steady, “Young Marquis Lin.”
Lin Zheng blinked, “What orders?”
“There’s a pot of taro and rib soup simring in the small kitchen, could you please take a look at the fire?”
Baili An spoke straightforwardly, not bothering to hide his obvious intention to send him away.
Lin Zheng naturally understood, glancing at Ye Shu and then at Baili An, he had no intention of eavesdropping.
Yawning, he said, “Taro and rib soup, ah, haven’t had it in a long ti. I don’t know if it’s as good as my mother’s cooking. I’ll go check it out.”
Once Lin Zheng left, Ye Shu brewed another pot of tea and filled Baili An’s cup.
Before Baili An could speak, Ye Shu took out a deep blue pearl from his waist, placing it beside Baili An’s hand.
Baili An was not unfamiliar with it; it was indeed the Dragon Ball ford from the Netherworld Dragon’s heart!
Baili An’s fingertips touched the cool pearl, surprised, “I didn’t an this.”
Ye Shu smiled, “This is my intention.”
Baili An shook his head, “You and Young Marquis Lin endured hardships for decades for this Dragon Ball.”
Ye Shu said, “That was his goal, and my goal, you have already fulfilled for .”
Baili An said, “I’m not interested in this Dragon Ball.”
Ye Shu looked at him for a while, then smiled again, “If you are worried that I won’t have a good account to give Lin Zheng, you need not worry. Though I do hope the Marquis Mansion can thrive in his hands, a re Dragon Ball is not enough to change the grand trend of today. On the contrary, this Dragon Ball might very well ruin Lin Zheng.”
Baili An understood his aning; the Dragon Ball’s role for Lin Zheng seed not as he had imagined.
Born from the Dragon Heart, the Dragon Ball was particularly sensitive to Lin Zheng’s aura, stealthily absorbing his life force and energy to grow stronger.
If this Dragon Ball stays with Lin Zheng for too long, there’s no telling if in ten or a hundred years, the pearl will regain spiritual wisdom.
