“How would I know about that?”
One could hear the anxiousness and impatience from Kong Rui. Kong Yao didn’t understand and also felt helpless.
She didn’t have much interaction with Zong Shou. Although she was a concubine, most of the time she was ignored by him.
Moreover, regarding things like secluded meditation, outsiders couldn’t interrupt and they could only leave it to the person himself.
“Sister Ruoshui said 3 days, so probably this secluded meditation won’t be too long. In a few more days he should come out…”
Hearing Kong Yao’s explanation, Kong Ruo frowned slightly. He took a close look at Kong Yao, her bottom half was tightly locked and Yin energy was still firm. His daughter was still a virgin.
What was happening? Didn’t they say that this Gantian Mountain Monster King was really lustful?
However, why was it that not only Kong Yao, even this Ruoshui wasn’t touched by the Monster King?
This was really weird. Logically speaking, for Zong Shou to pull these kinds of tricks he should be craving for Kong Yao’s beauty. However, why to date had they still not done it?
He continued thinking this way before he suddenly saw a ball of golden light speed into the building.
Then, a pale yellow puppy chased after it and jumped into the building.
They bounced around all over and the entire place was in a mess. Then, it stepped onto the table and knocked over all the tidbits and tea.
“You animal!”
Kong Rui was furious, he was caught off guard and the table in front of him was flipped.
Although he had energy protecting his body such that none of the tea splashed on him, he was still in an untidy state.
What made him furious was that the leisure and elegant environment of tea time was gone.
He casually cast a spell and stopped the puppy on the spot.
Kong Rui felt weird. These two things were Zong Shou’s Protector Spirit Beasts.
The human-shaped golden Spiritual Pet was okay, but why did he accept such an unassuming puppy?
Xiaori seemed to know that the situation wasn’t good but he wasn’t worried. Recently he and Little Gold had caused many problems within the palace as they bounced around. However, the female head just scolded them a little and it was finished.
He cried out as he looked innocently at the people in the building. When he looked at Kong Rui, it had deep meaning in its eyes.
Just as he tried to struggle free, Kong Yao sighed and hugged him in her arms to console him.
She took out a bottle of blue liquid and placed it beside his mouth to feed.
Qilins were born from energy, they didn’t eat normal food. However, that bottle consisted of the most pure dew, mixed with a few spiritual herbs and was sweet to taste. It was given by Xuanyuan Yiren and was what Xiaori loved the most.
Kong Rui shook his head as he looked on, “It is just a Spiritual Pet, why are you doing that?”
He only felt the few women in the palace were adoring the puppy known as Xiaori too much.
In terms of cuteness, the little fellow was actually really ugly, there was really no visible reason why he deserved adoration.
Moreover, it was really bold and playful…
When Kong Yao heard this, she broke out into a laugh. Her father actually had a time when his judgment failed him.
This was a Pure-Blood Qilin, a Top God Beast, how could they not adore him and treat him well?
Although this fellow looked unassuming, his strength had reached Spirit Realm long ago. Only Zong Shou wasn’t willing to make use of its power now which was why he suppressed it.
Just now the little fellow was just unwilling to argue with Kong Rui.
Hugging him in her arms, Kong Rui scratched Xiaori’s chin which made the little fellow moan comfortably. He stayed in her arms in a well-behaved manner. Even if Little Gold was flying in the air and provoked him, he wasn’t bothered.
The building regained calmness once more.
Moments later, a crisp laughter echoed into the building, “Concubine Yao, your husband has arrived. Aren’t you coming over to serve me?”
Kong Yao was startled, coming back to her senses after a long while. The voice belonged to Zong Shou. Then, her snow-white face flushed red.
She only felt her head go dizzy, why did he have to come at this moment?
Kong Rui’s brows rose, roughly guessing who the person who came was. His eyes froze, his expression turning solemn. He instinctively placed the few Wen King Divination Coins in his small Heaven and Earth bag into his hands.
Then, he found it awkward. Wasn’t it inappropriate for him to continue staying here?
However, when he saw the Gantian Mountain Monster King that he waited so long for enter the building, he was surprised once more.
He was really young. It was said that Zong Shou broke through to Grade-7 at 16 years old which was why he didn’t look old. Now he wasn’t even 18. He looked really elegant and gentle, however, he didn’t wear normal casual clothing but battle armor.
The red armor appeared really firm and humble but it emanated a sharp energy as well as vicious strength.
At this moment, Zong Shou also noticed that the situation was a little off. His eyes looked at the middle-aged male, one look and he knew that he was definitely Kong Yao’s father.
Their looks were 30% similar.
He couldn’t help but cry out tragically. It was okay if he joked with her about this when there was no one. Who knew that he would bump into Kong Rui. To say these words at such a time was really a loss of reputation.
However, he was really calm. Anyway, Kong Yao’s reputation was already largely destroyed by him so one more time didn’t matter.
He also felt pitiful for the girl, she was really harmed by him such that she wouldn’t be able to marry in the future…
“So Father-in-Law is here, Zong Shou greets you!”
The moment he finished saying this, the building was totally silent. Zong Shou didn’t find it awkward, waving his hands in a thick-skinned manner to tell Kong Rui who was about to leave not to mind them.
Following this, he smiled under the killing gaze of Kong Yao, “It is just a joke don’t treat it seriously. I haven’t reached the level of doing those things in the day. I came to ask Concubine Yao about Huizhou Island.”
Kong Yao took in a deep breath, only then did she calm down.
She could hear the seriousness in Zong Shou’s words as she frowned and thought about it seriously. She shook her head, “I don’t know about the specific situation. However, these few years our Great Shang increased the troops there to 200,000. A year ago the Privy Council wanted to increase troops, but the few Council Ministers and the Grand Commandant argued and it didn’t end in a solution. After this, they wanted to find someone to take over. Coincidentally, at that time, Gantian Mountain had already risen up…”
At this time she had nothing to do with Great Shang. Even her father was in Gantian so saying these words wasn’t inappropriate. A few sentences pointed out the situation there. Following this, she hesitated for a moment, “His Majesty sent me over here to push this problem to other people.”
Zong Shou’s brow rose and then he laughed. The situation was as he expected.
No wonder Great Shang would be so generous. When Kong Yao met him she promised to provide much armor and resources.
No wonder Daoling Vast Habitat would be so generous and hand over a few Mind Stone mines…
He had once read the history books that Kong Yao was a famous jinx. As expected, the calamity had arrived and couldn’t be avoided.
Huizhou was at the forefront. Then the Night Demon race would with 99% certainty, turn their eyes to Donglin which only had 50 provinces.
It was obvious that the place was dangerous but he had to go. This problem was one he had to accept too.
If the Great Shang Emperor was vicious and pulled out all his troops, the outcome would be unfavorable.
Standing on the spot, Zong Shou was in deep thought. His brow furrowing deeply.
Kong Rui’s face changed several times. The 6 coins in his hands trembled, trying their best to struggle out of his control.
However, at this moment his mind wasn’t here. His mind was totally blank.
The teen in front of him really shared the burden of his daughter’s death calamity.
Without using the Divination Money to see, he knew that the broken mark by his brow and the area between his eyebrows were grey.
The calamity was about to arrive!
However, his aura was still brilliant and noble… It was still really strong, Extremely pure, such that one wouldn’t have any other thoughts. Every action of his would draw from the energy around.
He gathered the thoughts of tens of millions of people but his aura was still pure and flawless.
The Confucians saw the 3 Cloud Desolate Emperors as their examples. If the Ruler did anything they were unhappy with, they would say what the ancient Saint Emperor did to persuade them.
However the one who could truly compare to them were standing here. He was seen by the orthodox Confucians in the Central Continent as barbaric, preposterous and immoral…
Whilst he was distracted, he forgot to control the Divination Money in his hand.
However, these 6 knife coins seemed to have used up all their energy. After they broke free, one could only hear a series of clangs as they all dropped to the ground.
Zong Shou was alerted by the noise, walking over. After he took a look, his brow furrowed, “This is Wen King Divination Money?”
Kong Rui’s heart sunk slightly. Zong Shou could actually recognize it?
In the next moment, he heard Zong Shou laugh, “The Divination is greatly negative?”
He was curious about Divination in the past and read many books. He didn’t deeply study it but he could read a little bit.
Kong Rui quietly looked at the ground, deducing the location of the 6 knife coins, it was indeed greatly negative!
Divination books mentioned: there are many despicable people, not fit for rule as king, one would lose a lot only to gain a little. It also said the small things would leave and the big things would return prosperity.
When one received an extreme amount of bad luck, good luck will then arrive.
Although this Divination was filled with killing intent, it also was filled with good signs. It would depend on how Zong Shou was going to face the situation.
His daughter and his calamity were joined together.
However, he felt that the person in front of him didn’t care at all. There was no fear in his eyes. Instead, that sharp energy became clearer and sharper.
Even if it was a calamity he would give it a shot and try to slash it open and break it.
Kong Rui looked towards Kong Yao, the purple energy was thicker and black energy continued to gather. He looked outside the window, only to see that Alkaid star was shining brightly.
Even the blazing sun in mid-air couldn’t cover its glow. It resonated with Kong Yao.
At that moment, Kong Rui felt his heart tense up.
