The Villain Raising Cubs[Transmigration Book]

Hearing this, the Devil Emperor concentrated and fell into deep thought.

"Interrogation of Meng Yijue..."

"Yes." Gui Shou nodded, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince happens to be out of the palace right now, and he cannot protect Meng Yijue. It will be even more difficult to expose Meng's conspiracy!"

Hearing this, the Devil Emperor's throat twitched, but he still didn't make a decision immediately.

Earlier, he asked Guishou to wait for a group of imperial doctors to identify Meng Yijue, under the guise of "treating" him.Now, if he really arrests Meng Yijue for interrogation, he will no longer be able to cover up the past, and he must be prepared to officially tear his face off with Meng Yijue.

However, in that case, if Ling Yuan gets wind of it, it is likely that nine times out of ten she will turn against him.The relationship between their father and son, which has finally eased, will be in jeopardy again, and there is even the possibility of a complete breakdown.

The Devil Emperor knows very well that he has just ruled the Demon Realm, and the regime of the empire has not yet been fully stabilized, so it is time to employ people.There is constant turmoil in the territory, and undercurrents are also surging between the court and China. The forces of all parties are competing openly and secretly. A little carelessness will intensify conflicts and set off internal strife.At this time, the whole empire must unite as one, and there must be no chaos.

What's more, tonight is New Year's Eve, and a New Year's celebration is being organized in the magic palace.At that time, all the high-ranking members of the empire and the leaders of the various tribes in the Demon Realm will enter the Demon Palace and participate in the banquet.

There were so many important things to do at the grand ceremony, and the Devil Emperor was too distracted to spare energy to deal with Meng Yijue.The matter of arraignment must wait at least until the celebration is over.

After hesitating for a while, the Demon Emperor made up his mind and called out: "An Wutian!"

The dark demon hurried into the house, "The minister is here!"

The Devil Emperor asked: "Is there any movement in the East Palace? Are Lingyuan and Yingying back?"

The dark demon replied: "Your Majesty, the East Palace is calm for the time being. The red salon running errands for the prince brought a message to Meng Yijue for him today, saying that the border has been in turmoil recently, and the prince will not be able to come back tonight. The emperor set off from the fief at noon today. , is rushing towards the East Palace, and is still on the way, it may take at least an hour."

"Very good..." The Devil Emperor nodded, and ordered: "Immediately let the guards surround the East Palace layer by layer, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! After tonight's banquet is over, I will go to the East Palace in person to interrogate Meng Yijue!"

"The dumplings are ready, come and eat them all."

Holding a plate of hot dumplings, Meng Yijue walked out of the silver bracelet's cooking space.

His figure suddenly appeared in the center of the room, and Qing Yang and Chi Shalong who had been waiting by the table for a long time immediately turned their faces together and looked over expectantly.

"Oh, oh, it's finally done!"

The two sat around the table and ate the dumplings happily.

The dumplings were made by Meng Yijue himself, and the raw material was fresh animal meat specially sent by Chi Shalong by Lingyuan a few days ago - the leg meat of a kind of monster.This special minced meat has a different flavor than the pork, beef and sheep they often eat in the human world.

Qingyang chewed slowly, looking at the plate full of plump and delicious dumplings, he couldn't help muttering: "Seeing this dumpling, I remembered that when I was in Haoyuezong, Master would make dumplings for us every Chinese New Year. Our bamboo forest There are few people in the garden, five people, and sometimes six people including Senior Sister Yun, sitting in a room, talking and laughing while eating dumplings, it is very happy."

Chi Shalong opened his eyes wide, "Do you guys eat dumplings every year?"

"Well, this is a custom in our human world." Qingyang nodded, "We have to eat delicious food and wear new clothes during the New Year. There will also be fireworks in the sect, and there will be singing and dancing parties. We will go there early in the morning on the first day of the new year. Happy New Year to Master, Master always prepares a few red envelopes with different shares for us to choose by ourselves. Strange to say, Tuanzi's luck is extremely good, and he can pick the most every time..."

As he said that, he laughed himself, "Master, to be honest, I have always wondered about this matter. Why can the group pick the biggest red envelope every time?"

Recalling the warm past, Meng Yijue couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.He smiled lightly and said, "Needless to say, among you, that little guy is the one with the most eyes and the most tricks. Every year on New Year's Eve when I give you red envelopes, that little bad guy will lie on my bed He stared at the side without blinking, presumably he used some special method at that time to quietly mark the biggest red envelope."

Qingyang laughed and said: "Master knows it and let him do it, this 'preference' is the only one."

Hearing this, Meng Yijue pursed his lips, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

"He's not here this year, Master will give you the biggest and biggest red envelope tonight."

Qingyang smiled cheerfully.Chi Shalong also quickly stretched out his claws, "Meng Mei, I want a red envelope too!"

Meng Yijue took the end of the chopsticks and tapped it on the center of its claws, "My red envelope is only for apprentices, if you want it, you can worship me as your teacher."

He said casually, but who would have thought that the lizard actually fell to the ground with a puff, and kowtowed respectfully, "Master, please accept my disciple's bow!"

Meng Yijue smiled and said, "Okay, get up, I can't accept you."

"Why, why?" Chi Shalong pointed at his finger in aggrieved way, "I am also a high-rank monster, and I can speak human language!"

It crawled up to Meng Yijue a few times, looked up at him, and begged: "Just let me be your closed disciple, okay? My disciple will definitely respect you, Master! You don't have to bother teaching me, As long as I have good food to eat and red envelopes to take, I will be satisfied!"

Qingyang gave him a meaningful look, "If Master agrees to you, someone's jealousy will be overturned again."

Chi Shalong opened his mouth, not knowing why: "Who? What vinegar jar?"

Meng Yijue's face was slightly red, but Qingyang looked at the excitement and didn't think it was a trivial matter. He grinned and said, "What's the point? Isn't Shui Tuanzi the master's closed disciple? Ever since he entered the master's school, the master has never confiscated him again." You have passed any apprentice! If you want to enter the master's school, you have to pass his pass!"

"Ah, there's this one more?" Chi Shalong blinked, and the stern face of the Water Demon Prince appeared in his mind, so he reluctantly let go of his claws.

Seeing it sniffing in frustration, Meng Yijue comforted him: "I'll wrap you a red envelope later, and your little brother, I also prepared a New Year's gift for it."

Chi Shalong's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out his claws to hug Meng Yijue's calf happily: "Wow, you are too kind, beauty!" It rubbed against the hem of Meng Yijue's robe happily, muttering Muttering: "Oh, you don't need to be my master, just be my wife!"

Meng Yijue shook his head helplessly, and pulled the dazed-eyed lizard off his lap, "Okay, stop thinking about it, come over and eat quickly."

They ate and drank enough, and there was still a small half of the dumplings left in the bowl, and no one could eat any more.

Qingyang stretched his waist on the chair, and said with a casual smile, "There are a lot more dumplings this year."

He said something unintentionally, but the words came out of his mouth, but he subconsciously thought of the past, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

In previous years, the dumplings on New Year's Eve were all made by Master himself. The five of them in Zhulinyuan ate them together, and every time everyone could eat a large plate of dumplings clean.

Now, Shizun is still used to making dumplings according to the usual portion, but they used to gather and laugh together, now only he and Shizun are left, sitting opposite each other in the deserted palace.

Times have changed, things have changed.The extra dumplings lay quietly on the plate, as sad as if they had been abandoned.

"One year spent similar, each year is different."

In the past, the bamboo forest garden that hosted their happy times, now only Qingxi stays alone.

The irritable and bluffing sister, he hadn't seen her for two years.I don't know if she is doing well, will she secretly miss everyone in the silent night?

Tuanzi was busy pacifying the war on the border of the Demon Realm, and couldn't go home. I wonder if he is tired. Can he have a hot meal on the night of the New Year's Eve?

And...she, the one who made him suffer but unconsciously worried about it, where is she now?Did he look for wild beasts in the Northern Wilderness, or went to his own fief, or returned to the imperial capital?

Touching the scene, Qingyang felt soreness in his heart.

Meng Yijue was keenly aware of the change in Qingyang's mood.He glanced at the half plate of dumplings on the table, and said calmly: "Qingyang, in a couple of hours it will be the New Year's celebration of the Demon Palace, and Yingying will also participate. She should have returned to the palace by now."

Hearing that name, Qingyang raised his head, his eyes flickered, "Master..."

Meng Yijue said softly: "I'll reheat these dumplings, and you'll send them to her palace in a while, take it as a little wish from us, and wish her a happy new year."

It has been nearly two years since they first arrived in Demon Realm.During this period, in order to prevent the Devil Emperor from becoming suspicious, Yingying seldom came to Meng Yijue's side to talk.Only when she and Qingyang needed to discuss important matters concerning dealing with the Devil Emperor, would she and Qingyang have a chance to meet.

When the two get along, they are both polite and harmonious on the surface.But it seems that it is limited to this.

After coming to Demon Realm, Qingyang became much more silent, often staring blankly at the sky, sometimes whispering something in his mouth.Every time he gets something delicious or useful, he will subconsciously set aside an extra portion for that "her" who is no longer around.

On the surface, Yingying always has a flimsy and indifferent look.Those water-colored eyes that resembled Ling Yuan's were like a still pool of stagnant water, never rippled.Only when she looked at Qingyang, would there be a gleam in her eyes that she didn't even notice, just like dropping a stone in still water, causing faint ripples in circles.

Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, Meng Yijue knew that since they had been deeply deceived, hurt, and even completely betrayed, the two children would never return to the past no matter what.

But he could also feel that they still had something for each other in their hearts.It's just that those things in the past have built a high hurdle in the hearts of the two of them, and neither of them knows how to get over it.

"Master..." Qingyang's eyes were slightly red, he hesitated for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think I should be with her... Will she return to my side? After going through so many things, I haven't figured out how to do it. I know she has difficulties, but I... "

Seeing the young man's confused eyes, Meng Yijue patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Things in the past can no longer be changed. You had no choice in the past, but you have to think carefully about how to go in the future. Think carefully about what you want."

After a while, Qingyang said: "Master, I miss her. I want to find her now, and want to... meet her."

Meng Yijue raised the corners of his lips, showing a faint smile.

"Qingyang, you can choose not to let go, or you can choose to let go. No matter what you decide, Master will support you. Master just hopes that you will not have any regrets."

Qingyang took the dumplings and went out.After he left, Meng Yijue sat at the door, silently staring at the increasingly dark sky in the distance.

Chi Shalong walked to his side lying prone.Seeing him frowning slightly, looking restless, it carefully asked: "What are you thinking, is there something on your mind?"

"Chi Shalong, I still feel that there is something wrong with the ghost hand." Meng Yijue turned his eyes, "He brought a large group of imperial doctors into the East Palace, obviously specially instructed by the Devil Emperor."

Chi Shalong was taken aback, "You mean, the Devil Emperor asked him to 'cure' you, but he actually had other plans?"

It suddenly became nervous, and muttered: "I also feel strange, the devil emperor seldom cared about the East Palace before, why did he send a large group of imperial doctors in today, and even keep me and Gu Qingyang out of the door?" , won’t let us enter the house to watch? He must have discovered something and wants to verify your identity, right?”

What Chi Shalong said was exactly what Meng Yijue was worried about.

The only time he met the Devil Emperor recently was when he changed into the Quicksand Ying Yuyi that Ling Yuan sent him two days ago.At that time, the devil emperor followed him like a devil, and suddenly lost control.Although the Devil Emperor left in a hurry without further pestering him after waking up, but today he sent ghost hands, saying that he would examine him.

Thinking of this, Meng Yijue can roughly conclude that the Devil Emperor might have doubted his identity at that time.

Such a proud and arrogant demon will not tolerate his xinxing being shaken by others.He specially asked the ghost hand to test Meng Yijue's body, obviously suspecting that his physique affected his sanity, and wanted to find out the truth.

However, even Meng Yijue didn't understand, was it really because of his Wood Charm physique that the Devil Emperor lost control that time?Although the water demon and the wood charm have a wonderful relationship, why did Lingyuan, who is also a water demon, never lose her composure to herself like the devil emperor?

Recalling everything that happened back then, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked: "Chi Shalong, what is the origin of that Quicksand Ying Yuyi?"

Chi Shalong replied: "The water demon found this clothes from the ancient castle where the Yuren once lived. I also heard it when I was in Shaqiu Village. This Yuren used to be the most beautiful race in the Demon Realm. It’s like a fairy coming down to earth. Every time they appear, the monsters in this demon realm will go crazy for them, and even start a war to compete for the beautiful Yuren. Some beauty-loving monsters will also specially collect the feathers on the wings of the Yuren’s back, and use them Come to weave clothes, it is said that wearing them can charm all living beings."

As it said that, it laughed twice, "But those are all legends. The Feathermen have been extinct for a long time, and the water demon found the clothes by chance in the underground castle where they once lived."

"Charming all beings?"

Meng Yijue subconsciously opened the silver bracelet and took out the quicksand feather coat from the locker.

Feeling the silky touch slowly flowing through his fingers, he remembered that when he put on this dress for the first time, both Qingyang and Chi Shalong stared at him in a daze.At that time, he only thought that they were surprised by his attire, but now that he thought about it, there was also a small amount of obsession in the amazed eyes, which seemed to have something to do with the clothes themselves.

After confirming this point, Meng Yijue guessed that the devil emperor, as a water demon, was attracted by the quicksand-like feathers and his wood charm physique, which made him appear so crazy.

That being the case... Does the current Devil Emperor already know his identity as Wood Charm?Has the ghost hand discovered more secrets from himself?

Meng Yijue felt that his heart was beating faster and faster.He caressed the feather coat in his hand, and looked at Chi Shalong: "When Ling Yuan asked you to send this dress, what exactly did you say?"

Chi Shalong recalled it for a while, and said: "He repeatedly told me that he will hand over the clothes to you intact, and you must wear them during the New Year."

He paused again, and whispered: "Actually, when he asked me to pass the message this time, he also told me repeatedly, saying, 'On New Year's Eve tonight, Master must wear the quicksand feather coat, and he must be reminded.' But I think you don't like this dress very much, so you haven't had the nerve to mention it..."

Meng Yijue was full of doubts.

He knew that Ling Yuan was always cautious in her actions, especially when it came to matters related to Master, she was even more cautious and considerate.However, it was the clothes Ling Yuan sent that aroused the suspicion of the Devil Emperor and almost exposed his identity.

Meng Yijue couldn't understand why Lingyuan had to put it on by herself, and repeatedly emphasized that it was on "New Year's Eve"?

Is the dress that Ling Yuan specially asked Chi Shalong to send to him really just a "New Year's gift"?Did he know that this dress would have a charming effect on the Devil Emperor?If you knew, why would you risk your identity being exposed by wearing it?

Meng Yijue vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple.

He stared at the thick clouds rolling like ink in the sky, and couldn't help becoming more nervous.

This is not his illusion.Ling Yuan seemed to be trying to convey something to him.

At this moment, Qingyang came back, holding an empty plate, with a dazed look on his face.

Seeing this, Meng Yijue couldn't help being surprised: "What's the matter? What about the dumplings, are they given to Yingying?"

Qingyang's expression was a little depressed: "Master, I went to Yingying Palace, but I didn't expect her to be there at all." He walked in front of Master, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Master, I just went out for a while. I think the atmosphere in this palace is weird."

Meng Yijue was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

Qingyang said: "The number of guards outside the Eastern Palace has increased, layer upon layer, surrounding the entire Eastern Palace. There is no one in the Eastern Palace, the Yingying courtyard is empty, there is no popularity at all, only a maid is left Sitting at the door.

As soon as I passed by, the maid seemed to know that I was coming, took a bowl of dumplings from the house, and said to me, "Doctor Gu, this year is thirty, New Year's Eve, be careful on the way back to the house." some. ’ When I turned around and walked back, she yelled behind me again, ‘Doctor, it’s cool tonight, go back to the room early to rest! '"

He scratched his chin in confusion, "Master, why do I always feel that she wants to say something to me?"

After hearing this, Meng Yijue murmured unconsciously: "New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve... evening wind..."

He suddenly remembered what Ling Yuan asked Chi Shalong to bring back, and the word "New Year's Eve" was also mentioned in it.

He looked at Qingyang suddenly, "I'm afraid...something is going to happen tonight!"

Qingyang was startled, "Yes, what's the matter?" He subconsciously glanced out of the courtyard, Meng Yijue immediately raised his index finger, made a silent gesture, and let them all go back to the house.

Meng Yijue closed and locked the door, and pasted a circle of charms on the wall of the room.

After everything was completed, Qingyang hurriedly said in a low voice: "Master, the East Palace is surrounded, is the Devil Emperor planning to attack us? He has been displeased with us for a long time, and it happens that Junior Brother and Yingying are here tonight. They are not here..." He desperately recalled everything he had seen and heard, his mind was in a mess, "The maid asked me to 'go back to the house', and said twice, could it be that there will be big things going on outside later at night..."

Meng Yijue didn't say much, just said: "Qingyang, Chi Shalong, from now on, none of us should leave this room, and get ready for battle."

Qingyang opened his mouth, but he didn't ask any more questions, and he and Chi Shalong parted ways to pack things.

Meng Yijue walked to his bedroom, took off his robe, and quickly put on the Quicksand Ying Yuyi.While dressing, trying to organize his thoughts, his heart beat faster and faster.

By now, he had guessed that Ling Yuan must be brewing a certain plan.

Lingyuan didn't tell him the specific matters, probably because they were under surveillance - the Eastern Palace was right under the eyes of the Devil Emperor, and the interior layout was also instructed by the Devil Emperor himself, so it was easy to completely treat the people in the palace. Azimuth monitoring.

Chi Shalong seemed to be free to come and go in the devil's palace, but now that he thought about it, even he had already been targeted by the devil emperor.In this case, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, Ling Yuan chose to continue using Chi Shalong to convey information, and kept a normal state on the surface to dispel the doubts of the Devil Emperor.

According to Chi Shalong's message and what Yingying's maid said, he guessed what Lingyuan would do on New Year's Eve tonight, and it was very likely that Yingying would also be involved in this plan.

For a moment, Meng Yijue wondered if Ling Yuan and the others wanted to take advantage of New Year's Eve to attack the Devil Emperor.But now, the Zhige Talisman has not been fully completed, and the chances of winning rashly are not stable.This was too hasty, Meng Yijue was puzzled, but now he couldn't ask Ling Yuan for proof.

But under the circumstances that the East Palace is closely monitored, the more people who know the secret, the more danger there will be.

Meng Yijue's throat twitched.

Lingyuan's plan must have his considerations.And what he can do is to stay in the palace according to Ling Yuan's idea and protect himself.

It is a long-standing tacit understanding between them to trust each other unconditionally.

"Woo-hoo--"

The stern north wind howled through the gaps between the palace halls, and the sound of the wind was like weeping and complaining.

Thunder came faintly from the distant horizon, one after another, like rumbling drums, heralding an impending storm.

Hai time.

The generals of the Water Demon Empire and the leaders of various tribes in the Demon Realm gathered together to participate in the grand celebration held by the Demon Emperor.

The whole hall was full, and the monsters stepped forward one by one to toast respectfully to the Devil Emperor on the throne, celebrating the achievements of the past year and looking forward to a better future for the empire.

While the demon generals were toasting, the Demon Emperor caught a glimpse of the Dark Demon rushing over from the corner of his eyes, put down his wine glass, and turned his head slightly towards him.

The dark demon said in his ear: "Your Majesty, everything has been done. The minister asked the guards to surround the East Palace. Meng Yijue, Gu Qingyang and that Chi Shalong are all staying in the house right now. When the celebration is over, wait outside The guards will immediately rush in to take them down and escort them to the execution room of the Demon Palace."

"Very good. Keep staring over there and don't make any mistakes." The Devil Emperor nodded, "What's going on at the celebration?"

"Your Majesty, the celebration is going smoothly, and everything is peaceful inside and outside the Demon Palace." The Dark Demon pointed to the night sky outside, "Your Majesty, the fireworks conference is about to begin, do you want all the generals and patriarchs to go to the square outside the palace now?" ?”

The devil hummed.The dark demon immediately said to the guests in the hall: "Generals and patriarchs, the highlight of tonight's celebration is coming—please go to the square outside the hall, the fireworks display is about to begin!"

The high-ranking officials of the empire's ministries stood up one after another when they heard the words, talking and laughing as they walked to the square outside.

When the monsters in the palace had almost left, the Dark Demon saw the Demon Emperor still sitting on the throne thoughtfully, leaned over and called out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The Devil Emperor seemed to have come to his senses, picked up a wine jar, and walked outside.

In the night sky above the magic palace, bunches of bright lights shot straight into the sky, bursting out colorful fireworks.The dark night was instantly illuminated by the blossoming fireworks, as bright as day.

"Whoosh—boom! Boom!"

Intensive artillery battles soared into the sky, making a huge cracking sound, shaking the entire ground.

Not only some demon generals staggered on the spot, even the body of the demon emperor swayed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook continuously.

The Demon Emperor suddenly frowned, and turned to the Dark Demon next to him: "An Wutian, come here!"

The dark demon was looking up at the sky in fascination, admiring the masterpiece he had prepared, and after a while, he heard the devil emperor calling him from the sound of thunderous firecrackers, and hurried over, "What orders does your majesty have?"

Louder and louder explosions came from all directions, and the stone brick floor of the square shook up and down like an earthquake, and even cracked lines began to appear.

Witnessing all this, the more the Devil Emperor thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and asked the Dark Demon, "Why are the fireworks so powerful?"

The dark demon was taken aback, looked left and right, scratched his head: "Uh...today is New Year's Eve, a grand ceremony, I want to make it more grand, so I specially ordered the workshop to make 200 million volumes of fireworks, which can hold half a cup of fireworks." What time is it!"

The Devil Emperor stood in the middle of the square and stopped to listen.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "No! This is not the sound of fireworks, this is..."

Before the words were finished, four water-blue light beams slowly rose in the distance, exploding violently in the air, bursting out with incomparably dazzling light.

There was an exclamation in the square, and at the same moment, all the monsters in front of the hall were deprived of their vision.

The Devil Emperor only felt a vast expanse of whiteness in front of his eyes, and he could no longer see any clear outlines in his vision.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a dense "whoosh-whoosh-" sound coming from the front, the sound was extremely sharp, as if countless fireworks were launched into the sky at the same time.

However, the water monster's unique perception ability told him that those emitted from afar were not fireworks.

But artillery fire.

The moment the effect of the previous round of flash bullets disappeared, the Devil Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, seeing countless blazing artillery fire flying from the distant night sky, hitting the main hall of the Demon Palace like raindrops.

"not good!"

"Rumble..."

Some of the shells were blocked by the magic palace's own defensive air shield, and more of them passed through the defensive layer smoothly, and bombarded the ground one after another.

The ground shook wildly, flying sand and rocks.All of a sudden, the square was in chaos, and the demon generals were caught off guard, and fled in panic under the falling artillery fire.

The Devil Emperor clasped his palms together, and formed a huge water ball between his palms, blocking the wave of artillery fire coming towards him.

Looking around at the chaos on the field, he shouted in a low voice: "Calm down, don't panic! The enemy is attacking ahead, prepare to fight!"

As soon as the devil emperor gave the order, the soldiers who were in chaos earlier came back to their senses, and each of them looked for a cover to avoid the artillery fire flying down from the sky.

The Devil Emperor's eyes turned cold. At this time, he didn't care about who was responsible for those artillery fires, and began to command: "The targets on the square are too concentrated, and everyone left this place quickly and dispersed to various palaces! Imperial Forest Army, Assemble immediately!"

At this moment, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous gaze fixed on him, aiming at his heart.

It feels like...

The Devil Emperor turned his head suddenly, and saw a sharp beam of light coming through the air with an incomparable chill, and shot through his left chest in an instant.

The surprised expression froze on Shui Wuming's face.

Following the direction in which the missile hit, he saw a tall and thin figure quietly half-kneeling on the palace wall several miles away.

The young man held a firecracker with his shoulders and arms raised, and half kneeled on the bricks and tiles of the palace wall with his left knee bent, maintaining a sniper posture.The water-colored pupils looked at him coldly through the aiming port of the firecracker.

The Devil Emperor covered the bleeding wound under his left shoulder, gritted his teeth, and said the name that he hated so much word by word.

"Shui, Ling, Yuan...!"
