Dragon's Origin

Chapter 634: Zhu Shaodong's Actions (Part 1)

Song Yan stared at Wang Sheng for a good while. Wang Sheng remained calm and didn't reveal any unusual expression. His excellent sniper skills allowed him to keep his heart rate steady.

After staring intently at Wang Sheng for a while and not noticing anything amiss, and seeing that Wang Sheng's gaze was also normal, Song Yan finally nodded and rested her head on Wang Sheng's chest again: "You still have a conscience."

Wang Sheng's performance at this moment was just like Ling Lingfa in 'Forbidden City Cop,' when his wife listened to his heartbeat to answer questions, and his heart wanted to thump wildly. Unfortunately, he didn't dare, because Song Yan's ear was right against Wang Sheng's chest.

"Why didn't Mei'er write a letter to ask me?" This posture wasn't actually comfortable, but Song Yan insisted. Lying on Wang Sheng's chest, Song Yan asked casually.

"Because I wanted to hear you tell me in person." Wang Sheng was also acting like a love saint, and the words just came out.

This sentence moved Song Yan's heart, and she bit Wang Sheng hard, then got up and rode him for a while before finally settling down.

This time might have been more satisfying, as even Song Yan obediently lay down next to Wang Sheng, snuggling close, no longer with that aloof attitude.

"I like peonies." Song Yan said softly in Wang Sheng's ear.

"Okay!" Wang Sheng said without hesitation, giving Song Yan a simple 'okay.' Song Yan understood that Wang Sheng would definitely help her carve a concentric ball with peonies in full bloom.

To be honest, Song Yan's personality didn't actually like these things, but Mei'er and蔷薇(Qiangwei) both had them, so why shouldn't Song Yan?

"By the way, your father's portrait is printed on the gold notes. Did he have any feelings of 'this life is not in vain' or anything like that?" After enjoying a moment of tacit quiet, Wang Sheng suddenly asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Song Yan honestly replied, paused slightly, and then asked with some anticipation: "Master, can you help him with treatment?"

Before, Song Yan would even try to be on top during intimate relations, but at this moment, she humbly addressed Wang Sheng as "Master," showing that she sincerely wanted to ask Wang Sheng for help.

Wang Sheng shook his head, and Song Yan's heart sank.

"It's not that I don't want to help, but my cultivation is insufficient." Wang Sheng sighed and said something that made Song Yan feel a little better: "He delayed for too long, and he wasn't vigilant when he was in the Thousand Absolutes Land. It's difficult to cure completely."

Song Yan wanted to say, then treat him now first, and then talk about it after your cultivation improves. But thinking of Song Hongde's attitude towards Wang Sheng back then, she ultimately suppressed the words and didn't say them.

"When I reach the Legendary Realm, I'll see if there's a way." Wang Sheng felt Song Yan's difficulty and ultimately softened a little, giving a promise that wasn't really a promise.

"Thank you, Master!" Song Yan was overjoyed and hugged Wang Sheng's arm, thanking him with surprise.

Wang Sheng still sighed in his heart. After all, they were father and daughter. No matter how big the gap, it probably couldn't sever the bond between them. However, whether Song Hongde would have this opportunity, everything still depended on fate!

Song Hongde's heavy metal poisoning was very troublesome. Even on Earth, this was a nearly incurable disease. Song Hongde had been drinking heavy metal-contaminated water that had been tampered with for a long time, and then he had delayed the best time for treatment. Even the treatment methods weren't optimal. After years of delay, it was already lucky that he could live like an ordinary person with the help of the Nine Syllable Incantation of the two Qing generation old Daoists.

Even though Wang Sheng's Nine Syllable Incantation had been cultivated to the realm of the Six Syllable Mantra, Wang Sheng didn't have the confidence to clear the heavy metal residue in Song Hongde's body.

If Wang Sheng could simultaneously comprehend the Seventh Syllable Mantra of the Nine Syllable Incantation when he advanced to the Legendary Realm, Wang Sheng would still have a glimmer of hope, but now, neither the cultivation nor the timing was the most suitable.

Moreover, Wang Sheng hadn't seen Song Hongde's attitude towards him. If Song Hongde was still incorrigible after so many years, Wang Sheng certainly wouldn't try his best.

This had nothing to do with Song Yan. Wang Sheng didn't want to waste his efforts to save a wolf with ungrateful eyes who would turn around and try to kill him. Right now, it was most important to appease Song Yan.

"Tell me the truth, is there some kind of conspiracy behind you and Mei'er's establishment of Lizhen Workshop, being so diligent in making gold notes for us?" Song Yan also knew about the discord between her father and Wang Sheng, so she didn't dwell on this issue and immediately turned to the gold notes.

"There's no conspiracy." Wang Sheng answered very directly: "It's just adding a talisman to Mei'er."

Wang Sheng didn't say exactly how it would protect her, and Song Yan cleverly didn't ask. But she knew that it must be the kind of talisman that would cause everyone to perish together if anyone touched Mei'er, and it must be something extraordinary for Wang Sheng to have spent years setting it up.

"Are the gold notes easy to use?" Wang Sheng asked back with a smile.

Song Yan didn't need to personally experience it all over the country; her many subordinates were enough to give her correct feedback. Since the gold notes were introduced, almost everyone praised them, and no one said they weren't easy to use. Worry was worry, but easy to use or not were two different things.

Just the two points of saving space and saving trouble saved countless troubles. Especially at the level of a vassal state like Song, the amount of gold coins involved every day would kill hundreds of warehouse managers if they had to count them one by one. But since the gold notes were introduced, those officials in charge of finance were incredibly relaxed. Counting the number of gold notes once a day and counting the number of gold coins once a day were two different things?

In just a month or two, the officialdom of Song had become accustomed to using gold notes. Although the original gold coins still existed and there would be a certain national reserve, the circulating currency was basically gold notes, and even official salaries and family allowances began to be paid with gold notes.

This wasn't just the case in Song; all the major vassal states were the same. Especially after Lizhen Workshop was willing to customize gold notes for their respective countries, they became even more addicted to them.

"Is there really no danger in this?" Song Yan was still a little worried. Wang Sheng was by her side, and she couldn't help but ask again.

"If you don't touch Mei'er, there will be no danger." Wang Sheng gave Song Yan another guarantee.

Song Yan was so smart. Wang Sheng only said not to touch Mei'er, but didn't say not to touch herself. Thinking of Wang Sheng's personality and the possible conflicts between the two in the future, Song Yan felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"How many days can you stay in the capital this time?" After talking about an unpleasant topic, Wang Sheng asked about Song Yan's itinerary.

"About half a month." Song Yan had nothing to hide from Wang Sheng and answered directly: "Why, do you have any arrangements?"
