659 A Family Together, Asura Rises! (2)
In other words, why was Nangong Li still alive after refining three in one go?
At the mention of this, Nangong Li was in high spirits. He smiled and could not hide his smugness as he said, “This is all thanks to Gu Elder Meng controlling their minds with Gu worms. Don’t worry, Grandpa. They’re loyal to me and won’t hurt me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he sized up the Emperor’s expression. He knew that the Emperor did not say anything, but he was already shocked by the fact that he had three Asuras. The holy artifact was rare, but wasn’t it rare for Asuras to appear in a hundred years?
For the sake of Asura, his grandfather would definitely forgive him.
As expected, although the Emperor’s expression was still very ugly, he did not say anything about dealing with Nangong Li.
“It’s a good thing that you have Asura, but I don’t want you to use them to kill the innocent. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Yes, Li’er will obey your orders.”
Wasn’t it just to ask him not to send Asura to kill Xiao Zhenting and Yan Jiuchao? Ha, he would have a way to get rid of them openly!
If the Emperor wanted to protect Xiao Zhenting, he naturally would not expose him to the public. If he wanted to protect Nangong Li, he had to let him appear here openly.
The next day, the Emperor issued an imperial edict. The Empress’s health was not good, and he ordered Nangong Li to return to the Capital.
The Emperor and Empress were deeply in love. No one doubted the authenticity of this imperial edict. As for whether the Empress was pretending to be sick, it was not within everyone’s consideration. So what if she was really pretending to be sick? He was her biological grandson. How could she watch him die in front of Xiao Zhenting?
If Nangong Li wanted to pretend to rush over from the border, he would have to delay “a few days” for the trip. These few days were the golden period for them to train Asura.
Losing all his strength overnight had caused Asura far more damage than he had imagined. To reignite his fighting spirit, the most important thing was to overcome the fear in his heart. But now, he didn’t even dare to step out of his door—
The three little black eggs woke up at dawn. The first thing they did when they woke up was to go next door to look for Asura.
“Asura.” Xiaobao pushed open the door and walked in.
Asura curled up under the blanket.
Xiaobao slipped onto the bed and pulled open his blanket. “You can’t stay in bed. A baby who stays in bed isn’t a good baby.”
“Asura, flower.” Er’bao picked beautiful flowers for Asura.
Dabao also presented his gift—an ugly Nepenthes.
The three of them pulled Asura up.
Xiaobao tilted his head and said, “Today, we’re going to learn martial arts from Master Ah Wei.”
Asura hugged his head, turned around, and curled up into a ball.
Asura did not want to learn martial arts.
Asura doesn’t want to go out!
Dabao walked around to him and held his rough fingers. He looked at him without blinking. It didn’t hurt. It did not hurt at all to practice martial arts with Master Ah Wei.
“Dabao, are you in there?” Yu Wan’s gentle voice came from outside the door.
Asura seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. He crawled onto the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.
The three little fellows slipped over.
Xiaobao raised his little hand and imitated his mother coaxing him. He gently patted Asura’s shoulder. “Don’t be afraid, it’s my mother. My mother is a very good person.”
Er’bao lay on the bed and said softly to Asura’s big head under the blanket, “It’s Mom. Don’t be afraid.”
Asura slowly pulled open the blanket, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.
Er’bao smiled sweetly and rubbed his head like his father. “Be good.”
Ever since Asura woke up, he had refused to let anyone approach him, except for the three little fellows. However, Yu Wan was not sure if they could really coax Asura out.
Yu Wan gripped the cold Langya stick in her hand tightly. For the sake of everyone’s lives, she could only go all out. If Asura refused to come out himself, she would beat him out no matter what!
From time to time, Er’bao and Xiaobao’s gentle murmurs could be heard in the room. Yu Wan did not want to admit that she was jealous. She had never known that these little fellows had such a gentle and patient side. Were they still her sons? Were they really not someone else’s son?
But…
It didn’t seem to be working very well.
Asura did not move for a long time.
Yu Wan gritted her teeth. Son, I’ve let down your good friend! Yu Wan raised her Langya stick and strode to the door.
“Mother?” Xiaobao said with wide eyes.
The three little fellows looked at her in confusion. In their hands was Asura, who finally had the courage to take the first step.
