Chapter 1910: Chapter 175: Offering Myself in Gratitude! Repaying the Life-Saving Favor (Part 4)
“Not so. Just now, the sword from the Immortal Ruolan completely shattered the true spirit of the Dragon Blood Demon God,” the King of Zhennan’s expression was slightly complex, “but part of the Dragon Blood Demon God’s memories, cultivation techniques, and bloodline brand have all fused into my divine soul. The method just used is called [Demonic Body Resurrection Technique], which can use one’s own bloodline brand to reconvert the body of the human race or extraterrestrial demon into the demonic god body of the Dragon Blood Demon God.”
“However, I am also a Transcendent Void Realm cultivator, and my own bloodline brand is very complete and clear, so I can use the Demonic Body Resurrection Technique to convert back.”
“This…” King Chaoyang’s gaze was complex and hard to understand, “During the Divine Martial Era, the Red Lotus Demon Lord didn’t achieve such a thing, yet you have managed it.”
“Red Lotus Demon Lord? Isn’t he the ancestor of today’s Shentu Clan of the Demonic Dynasty?” the King of Zhennan looked puzzled, “Was he also invaded and possessed by a spirit remnant of a demonic god?”
“Not so. You were forcibly possessed, while he attempted to actively draw the spirit remnant of a demonic god into his Purple Abode Spiritual Platform for devouring and fusion.” King Chaoyang showed a trace of apprehension, “As everyone knows, the [Red Lotus True Demon Sutra] of the Demonic Dynasty, its core cultivation is derived from the Red Hellfire system of extraterrestrial demons. Back then, the Red Lotus Demon Lord conducted many outraging experiments to create cultivation techniques, leading to extremely dire consequences, and was thus hunted by the Saint Emperor.”
“It is also recorded that the Red Lotus Demon Lord later allied with other demon lords to take down a demonic god of the Red Hellfire system, capturing the demonic god’s divine soul, and was preparing to draw the demonic soul into himself for devouring and fusion, aiming to achieve a state of having both the true spirit of human race origin and the body of a demonic god of the Red Hellfire. Why it didn’t succeed later is unknown, and there is no detailed record.”
King Chaoyang has lived long enough, not only battling for years outside territories, but as a princess, she has the privilege to peruse the royal family’s collection, naturally knowing many secrets.
“Old Ancestor Fengwei, will there be any aftereffects for me from this?” the King of Zhennan’s face looked somewhat weak.
“It’s hard to say now.” King Chaoyang frowned, “In any case, just stay with the Wang family recently, don’t run around, and let Shouzhe watch over you.”
“Yes, Old Ancestor Fengwei.”
The King of Zhennan naturally agreed.
He glanced around for a moment, then his gaze fell on Wang Luomiao. He immediately stepped forward and greeted, “Xiaoyang thanks Miss Luomei for the rescue.”
Wang Luomiao also returned the greeting, “In our shipping business, we help those in distress. Your Highness shouldn’t place this on your heart.”
“Actually, I was conscious the whole time.” The King of Zhennan’s expression was a bit complex.
He still remembered the disdain on Wang Luomiao’s face when she saw him.
“…” Wang Luomiao looked slightly embarrassed, “I hope Your Highness won’t take my words to heart.”
“On the contrary, I think Miss Luomei is a girl of true character,” the King of Zhennan said with a smile, “And, during my ‘unconscious’ state, Miss Luomei did her best to save me, even personally escorting me back to the Wang family. This grace, this virtue, Xiaoyang will remember forever.”
“…” Wang Luomiao was speechless.
Could she say that the reason she was so eager to save him was entirely because of his status as a Duke of the Immortal Dynasty, worrying that something happening to him on the Wang family’s territory would cause a lot of trouble?
“Master Shouzhe, may I ask if your sister is betrothed?” The King of Zhennan suddenly looked towards Wang Shouzhe, feigning nonchalance as he inquired.
“As of now… not yet.” Wang Shouzhe’s eyebrows slightly twitched.
Hearing this, the King of Zhennan’s eyes immediately lit up, and his entire demeanor became energetic.
He adjusted his appearance, speaking seriously, “Master Shouzhe, don’t be fooled by the beard I’ve grown, it’s to show the dignity of being in a high position. In fact, I’m only two thousand and ninety-eight years old now, similar in age to Jade Spirit True Monarch. My consort passed away more than two hundred years ago. The grace your sister showed in saving my life, I have no way to repay, except…”
Before he could finish, Wang Shouzhe’s face had already darkened.
He grabbed the King of Zhennan’s arm and interrupted him, “Your Highness, when I took your pulse earlier, I found there was still some lingering Demonic Qi.”
“Master Shouzhe save me…” The King of Zhennan immediately became nervous.
“Unfortunately, my Mysterious Energy is weak, and I need Li Xian’s help to treat you. Come with me.” Wang Shouzhe said, and without another word, he dragged him to the main trunk of the Immortal Plant Wang Lixian.
With a casual slap, he opened a large pit in the ground, and he swiftly dumped Yun Xiayang into it, filled it with soil, leaving only his head out.
“Is this also a treatment?” The King of Zhennan looked bewildered, “I’ve never heard of such a treatment method.”
“Does Your Highness not trust me?” Wang Shouzhe’s face sank.
“No, no, I trust you. Master Shouzhe, please proceed with the treatment.” The King of Zhennan nodded repeatedly, then asked, “By the way, Master Shouzhe, how about my character…”
His words were cut off, as even his head was buried by Wang Shouzhe.
“Your Highness, do not speak much. The Demonic Qi lingering on your body is extremely entangled, and it will take seven days to pull it out completely with this method,” Wang Shouzhe said with a calm face, also pressing the soil down firmly, and then turned to the big shots who had followed him, bowing to them.
“Gentlemen, now there’s no problem. You continue playing, continue having fun. Luomei, come with me, I have some things to ask you.”
With that, he left with Wang Luomiao.
The big shots stared in astonishment at Wang Shouzhe’s series of actions, then cast sympathetic glances at the mound of soil.
Ah, everyone could see clearly that Wang Shouzhe was obviously annoyed, taking the opportunity to torment him.
However, he deserved it, who told him to covet someone else’s sister? The age difference is close to two thousand years, shameless.
If it were them, they probably wouldn’t let this kid off either.
Anyway, staying by Li Xian’s main body is only beneficial, and with his Transcendent Void Realm physique, he could be buried until time immemorial without a problem.
The big shots exchanged glances for a while, then tacitly left the King of Zhennan and returned to the courtyard to resume their card game.
“Ruolan, that sword you used just now…” Hundred Refinements True Monarch asked a question he had wanted to ask all along while playing cards, with a bit of weakness in his voice, “What kind of trick was that?”
“Just a casual strike, Nine Bamboos.” Liu Ruolan casually played a card with ease.
“Eat the Seven Bamboos.”
The Hundred Refinements True Monarch didn’t dare to ask any more questions, and continued playing cards, muttering to himself.
All those big shots were so polite to Liu Ruolan, even King Chaoyang didn’t treat her with the air of an elder. The Wang family seemed peculiar, even Hua Rui, who seemed odd enough, fell slightly short when compared with Liu Ruolan.
Never mind~ just play cards~
On with their own thoughts, the group of big shots continued to play their card game, while on the other side, Wang Shouzhe had already brought Wang Luomiao back to the courtyard.
He first showed some concern for her, asked a few questions about the King of Zhennan, and advised her to rest at home for a while.
Seven days later.
The “lingering Demonic Qi” inside the King of Zhennan was completely extracted, and after Wang Shouzhe’s nod, he was finally dug out of the ground.
After that, he began to pursue Wang Luomiao with the banner of “repaying saving grace with my life” with great zeal.
Wang Luomiao felt trapped with no way out and was extremely annoyed, finally having to turn to her brother Wang Shouzhe for help.
Seven days later.
The King of Zhennan’s inner “lingering Demonic Qi” was completely removed, and upon Wang Shouzhe’s nod, he was finally dug out of the earth.
After this, he began to pursue Wang Luomiao fervently under the pretext of “repaying the life-saving grace with his own life.”
Wang Luomiao was so harassed that she had nowhere to run or hide, utterly exasperated, she finally had to seek help from her brother Wang Shouzhe.
“Shouzhe,” Wang Luomiao asked pleadingly, “can you help me with the King of Zhennan?”
“Of course,” Wang Shouzhe heard her request and agreed immediately.
After sending Wang Luomei away, he respectfully invited the King of Zhennan to the courtyard, offering the best tea and fruits.
“Shouzhe, you and I need not be so polite,” said the King of Zhennan.
Hearing this made the corner of Wang Shouzhe’s eyes twitch, but his expression remained calm. Politely, he took out a thick stack of documents and pushed it toward him across the table.
“Your Highness, let us not be so formal.”
“What plan is this? Is it about our next artifact refining collaboration? Rest assured, we are one family…” The King of Zhennan said as he was handed the documents. His words stopped abruptly, and he was unable to finish, his face froze.
On the cover of the document, it boldly read [The Feasibility and Related Plan for the King of Zhennan to Transform His Body into a Demonic God and Go Undercover in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield].
