Chapter 479 Guan Longzi (2/2)
With Lei Nuo's vast knowledge, he could clearly see that the gourd is just an ordinary one, but he did not know what was so special about the water in it.
He smiled forcefully and said, ”I'll take this.”
Shen Lian looked at him seriously, saying, ”I hope you can drink this.”
He delivered the gourd to Lei Nuo and his tone sounded like he would not allow any intervention.
Lei Nuo could feel that the surrounding space was about to collapse instantly and that he would be shattered into pieces at any moment. He would not die if he drank this water, but if he refused to, he might have to die immediately.
People would die in the end but at least, he did not want to die at this moment.
He spoke with much hesitation, ”I drink.”
The lethal threat vanished after he said that. Then, Lei Nuo carefully drank the water from the gourd.
Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction and said, ”you have to know that the water that I presented to you originates from the Zimu River in our Xi Liang Kingdom. That was the foundation of our established kingdom. This water was not only taken from the Zimu River, but it was also specially made by me. Now do you feel that your entire body's Qi and blood start to move towards your abdomen and agglomerating?”
Lei Nuo had indeed felt it. His entire body's Qi and blood essence started to move towards his abdomen and was agglomerating and he actually did not have any idea how to turn this around.
Qi and blood essence was his source of energy. He could clearly feel that he was weakening. As time passed by, this weakening feeling was getting stronger.
He asked with fear, ”what's the harm of this water from the Zimu river?”
Shen Lian smiled while saying, ”there's golden elixir Yuan Ying in Daoism. I'm just gifting you a chance to have a child. Moreover, I'm actually very curious about why your bloodline can make you possess such strong power. Thus, when the time comes I'd help you to extract the Qi and blood essence but you shouldn't take it out yourself without permission.”
Lei Nuo was grinding his teeth while asking, ”what will happen if I take out myself?”
”Before you take it out, it'd explode. You should be clear about how terrifying it would be once your Qi and blood essence explodes. Or it could crush you into pieces and also raze the surrounding of your study room,” Shen Lian was still smiling gently, whereas for Lei Nuo, he would rather face the Yecha King from San Yue Demon Kingdom than to see this young lad ever again.
”If you want me to be your slave, I can tell you it's impossible. I'd rather die now,” Lei Nuo spoked with hatred.
”Don't worry. I'm not interested to make you my slave. Now I want to know, if I want to stay in Diqiu quietly for a period of time and not to be disturbed at all, where should I go?” Shen Lian asked while clasping his hands behind his back.
”I can authorise an instructions, and you can go to the Dynasty School in South City to look for Guan Longzi. He can help you to lead a stable life in Diqiu. But it's better for you to not stay in Diqiu for too long,” Lei Nuo was in silence for a moment and finally said it.
”Who's Guan Longzi?”
”He's the imperial astronomer.”
”Isn't imperial astronomer supposed to be staying by the side of Emperor Xia to record about the lifestyle and country issues?”
”He's been kicked out by the Emperor Xia.”
Shen Lian said, ”Fine. Then I'll ask you another question.”
”You can ask anything.”
”About eight to nine years ago, did you take this girl in?” Shen Lian eyes were staring at Lei Nuo.
There was an image of a little girl's surfacing in his heart. Take a closer look, she actually looked somehow similar to the Shen Lian in front of him.”
