C74 (2/2)
”Then … what about that royal lady?” Chen Chu could not help but ask.
Prince sighed. ”If I can be called a genius, then Yanran is a peerless genius. The blood in her body is many times more vigorous than mine. If she is not a princess but a prince, I'm afraid that her bloodline is enough to give birth to two or three children. ” Speaking to here, the Prince paused. ”However, since she is born a princess and has such a dense bloodline, coupled with the fact that our family has always been cold and ruthless. Then there was only one possibility, the time to unify the continent with Fire Phoenix Empire had come! It is precisely because of this that my royal father found out about this matter, preventing me from touching the throne. He directly passed the position of emperor to Yanran, thus becoming her great female emperor.
”Why are you telling me this?” Chen Chu stared fixedly at the Prince, a wave of ominous foreboding arose in his heart. Why would he tell this kind of secret of the Empire to an outsider that had nothing to do with him? Was he going to kill him to keep his mouth shut?
Prince looked at Chen Chu calmly, and only after a long while did he say, ”The first reason I'm telling you this is to dispel your thoughts towards Yanran, the reason why I'm stopping you is to save your life. Your father and your family died because of my mistake. I have always kept this in mind, so I don't want to kill you because of my daughter. Secondly, I'm leaving. You have to take care of yourself in the future. If you are willing to listen to my advice, then leave the imperial city and become an ordinary person. ”Since ancient times, both fortune and misfortune have depended on each other. I don't know what the appearance of such a peerless genius like Yanran means. From the bloodline point of view, I naturally hope for the Empire to unite the continent.
Chen Chu was shocked, ”You want to leave? Where are you going? ”
”The fire phoenix, a primordial divine beast, still has a few enemies that have yet to die. In these few days, my bloodline's perception has already found out where they are, so I've decided to do something for Yanran.”
”You ~ ~ ~ You ~ ~” Chen Chu was excited, he did not know what to say, but the two of them understood that going to Prince was equivalent to suicide. Naturally, the opponents of the ancient Divine Beasts weren't mediocre, and his bloodline wasn't sufficient to begin with. Now that he was openly challenging them, what was the difference between this and courting death?
Prince waved his hand lightly, ”You don't have to worry about me, this is also not something that you can meddle in. Although the blood in Yanran's body was vigorous, her awakening was also extremely slow. She needed a guide. I will do my best to lure that opponent to the vicinity of the imperial city so that Yanran can experience it. If we can conveniently weaken the opponent's strength, then that would be the best thing to do. ” At this point, his face looked bitter, ”As a father, I have to do something for my daughter.”
Chen Chu was silent for a long time, then asked softly, ”Then, can you tell me a bit about the other party?”
Prince shook his head: ”To be honest, I don't know much. I only know that the other party is hiding in the Moqiu State, one is called Qiong Qi, and the other is called Taotieh. Furthermore, the other party didn't carry out such a Bloodline Inheritance. The enemies I faced were still the same original body that the divine beast, the Flamephoenix, had faced back then. There are differences between the two inheritances, so I can't comment. ”
Chen Chu wanted to ask more but Prince had already stood up. ”Little Chu, I've said what I need to say. You can go back first. ”Take good care of yourself in the future.”
Chen Chu knew his temper, and seeing his resolute expression, it was useless to speak any further. When he thought about how he had always taken care of himself as if he were his biological father and how he had stolen him from the guillotine, Chen Chu retreated two steps and lifted his clothes to kneel before heavily kowtowing to this Prince who would never be able to ascend to the throne. Only then did he turn around and leave. When he walked out of the stone room, he clearly heard a soft sigh.
Three days later, the sound of thunder could be heard from the northeast of the imperial city. After an incense stick of time, the thunder had stopped.
The next day, the crown prince's household reported back to the Her Majesty, and the Prince died. Her Majesty shed tears on the spot, but after a few days, she replied. According to Prince's wishes, the matter of the funeral was simplified.
Speaking to here, Chen Chu suddenly turned his head to look at Xiu'er, and asked softly: ”Lord Xiu, I remember you saying before that you were going to Peacock Ridge to find a family?”
Xiu'er stared blankly for a moment. Not knowing why he suddenly asked about this, she subconsciously nodded, ”Yeah, I once checked the time my adoptive parents rescued me. More than ten days before that, a natural disaster had happened to my Peacock Ridge. But when I went to Peacock Ridge, I realized that I was unable to find it, so I turned around to the northeast. ”
Chen Chu smiled faintly: ”After that lightning storm, I was the only one who went to the secret room in the crown prince's residence, it was empty.”
Xiu'er still had not reacted, ”Then why did you suddenly ask me about Peacock Ridge seeking a family? Prince will go fight the Demonic Beast first, what does that have to do with me? ”
Chen Chu tilted his head and looked at Xiu'er, and said after a long while, ”Ten days after the thunderstorm, some officials from the Phoenix Province reported that a natural disaster happened in the areas under his jurisdiction, causing the farmers to become homeless. Later, I unintentionally found out that other than leaving many people homeless, there was actually another victim from the Sky Disaster that was the wife of Lord Kong Sheng, the current commander of Phoenix City Pass. By that time, Ye Qing was already pregnant. ”
Xiu'er frowned: ”What exactly do you want to say?”
”Lord Xiu hasn't found any coincidence?” Chen Chu said indifferently, ”The northeastern part of the capital is toward the Peacock Ridge. A thunderstorm occurred, which is when the previous Prince fought with the Ancient Demonic Beast, and it was also when Lord Kong's wife was killed. Furthermore, this time was very close to the abandoned time that Lord Xiu had mentioned. Lord Xiu, don't you think that there are too many coincidences? ”
Xiu'er's eyes widened, and only after a long while did she reply with a slight hint of panic. ”Impossible ~ Impossible ~ the time doesn't match ~ I, I don't look like a two or three year old child right?”
Chen Chu leisurely said, ”Whether it is the primordial divine beasts or the primordial Demonic Beast, how can us mortals understand their bloodline and their world? Just like your God Power Lord Xiu, how can it be something that an ordinary person can possess? ”
Hearing Chen Chu's words, Xiu'er's heart suddenly thumped. There were some things that Chen Chu would never know, things that he had only said based on his conversation with the previous Prince and his half-understanding of Moqiu State. On the other hand, she herself had communicated with the real Taotieh Divine Beast before, and many of the details were exactly as Chen Chu said. What did this mean? Xiu'er didn't dare to think too much about it.
Although Chen Chu had proven that the Taotieh's words were correct from another angle, the matter had become even more complicated in Xiu'er's heart. She already did not understand what was going on with her, whether it was her complicated and bizarre background, or her inherent strength.
Seeing that the Xiu'er did not speak for a long time, Chen Chu misunderstood. He got up and knelt down on one knee in front of Xiu'er. ”Please do not panic, Lord Xiu. Other than the grace of being raised by the previous Prince, this lowly general does not have a single shred of emotion towards the northern empire. For example, the Lord Xiu possesses the bloodline of the previous Prince, so if you want to do something, this lowly general is willing to follow you and swear loyalty to the north! ”
