In the duke's mansion.

The Duke was lying on the bed with a pale face, looking like he was about to belch farts, but none of the mistresses and children who were always around him were there, only his justifiable Duchess was weeping silently beside the bed.

The Duke looked at the Duchess with difficulty. At this moment, he felt regretful, regretting that he had not treated his wife well over the years.

But seeing the Duchess slowly raised her head, the face that was as beautiful as when she was young was not at all sad, but rather pleased: "This day should have arrived long ago, but it's a pity that I gave you The poison started early."

Hearing this, the Duke spat out a mouthful of old blood, and passed out.

Everyone gathered around the envoy on the other side of the bedroom. In this country, the divine power is higher than the royal power. The Duke's ascension to the throne also requires the consent of the Temple of Light. The envoy chooses an heir from each of the illegitimate children according to the will of the God of Light.

But how can the God of Light really have the leisure to deal with such things, so at this time, it is usually to see which mistress can pay the most money, and the position of the Duke is whoever it is.

A glamorous woman stood on the outermost side unhurriedly, with a smug smile on her face. She was the villain little boss Ruth who had bought off various killers before. She was also the Duke's favorite mistress in the past. She was born in a wealthy family. The family is not short of money, what it lacks is power and status.

Ruth took out a space ring and handed it to the envoy, and the other three or four mistresses around her suddenly showed jealous eyes. They knew that with Ruth's action, their children had no hope of becoming a duke at all.

The envoy looked at the things in the interspatial ring, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Things will definitely develop as Madam wishes."

Ruth suddenly showed a beautiful smile, but her son Shen Yu was sitting lazily on the sofa next to him, his face was sallow, and he looked like he was overindulgent. A part of his arm looks like a hungry ghost.

The envoy left after accepting the interspatial ring. Ruth was proud when she heard voices coming from the door: "The young master is back!" "The young master is not dead!" "The young master is back!"

Ruth's expression changed in shock, she bit her lower lip, turned her head to see that Shen Yu was still looking lazy, and slapped her son on the head suddenly.The Duchess looked happy, and hurried downstairs with her skirt in hand, Ruth followed closely behind her.

Shen Jia and the others appeared at the gate hurriedly, the Duchess hugged him excitedly, tears also fell: "Jia'er, it's great that you're fine..."

Ruth's face was pale, and she didn't know why the things that had been settled had changed again, but Shen Yu cheered up and looked at Shen Jia with squinting eyes: "Brother, you are back, it's been a long time no see , let me give you a good hug."

As he said that, he rushed over, but was kicked away by the guards, and immediately covered his waist and howled on the ground: "What kind of subordinates are you recruiting, so you don't have eyes!"

"Hmph." Shen Jia said coldly, "You are the one who doesn't have eyes, I'm the only child, so I don't have any older brothers."

"What did you say?" Shen Yu looked shocked.

Ruth also pulled out a smile: "Everyone has lived together for so many years..."

Shen Jia was merciless, and directly drove these mistresses and brothers out of the Duke's mansion.

After the Duchess learned about the incident on the road, she warmly entertained Song Chen and Ge Lan, but what Song Chen cared about was not this, but the medicine of the Celestial Clan.

The Duchess thought for a while: "It seems that there is such a bottle of potion in the Duke's room. I'll go and look for it." Then she got up and walked to the side room.

"Thank you so much." Song Chen couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Shen Jia, however, had no appetite, pretended to be casual and said, "Speaking of which, where is your hometown?"

"This..." Song Chen casually said, "It's in a very far away place, and it's also very remote." Whether it's his real hometown or the hometown of this world, it's not so far away.

"Then... will you come again in the future?" Shen Jia finished the sentence with great difficulty, and then quickly added: "I just think you are a good bodyguard, there is no other meaning!"

"Of course I understand." Song Chen said, "But I'm afraid I won't come back again. After my father's illness is cured, I will probably go on adventures."

"I see." Shen Jia snorted coldly: "Then I wish you not to die outside casually."

Song Chen: "...Thank you." This blessing is really too casual.

At this time, the Duchess came over from the side, with an apologetic smile on her face: "I'm really sorry, I didn't find it in the Duke's room, and I don't know where he put it."

"It doesn't matter." Song Chen hurriedly said, "I'm not in a hurry." I just hope that the blood curse doesn't break out here...

"I'll send my maid to look for more. You can stay with us for the time being these days." The Duchess smiled and said, "I just haven't thanked you for what you have done for Jiaer."

****************

In the dimly lit room, Ruth looked at the person in front of her beggingly: "My lord, please help me with this matter, and the reward is not a problem."

The person standing in front of her was dressed in black with a mask on his face. He was obviously the priest of the Dark Temple.Although the Temple of Light in Snow Country is more powerful than other countries, but where there is light, there are shadows. People in the Temple of Darkness will always lurk in the dark, and there are many people who secretly collude with the Temple of Darkness.

Seeing that the priest in front of her did not speak, Ruth took out a space ring: "There are 50 gold coins in it. If this is done, I still have 50 gold coins."

When the priest heard the number, he nodded in satisfaction, and followed Ruth the next day, changing into a normal person's attire and going outside the Duke's mansion.

As a priest of the Dark Temple, he has a unique skill, that is, he can control people whose mental strength is much weaker than his. In this country full of warriors, his unique skill is very useful.

"Who is more suitable to control?" The priest looked at Ruth next to him coldly.

Ruth looked at the few people who came out of the Duke's mansion, and fixed her eyes on Song Chen: "It's him!" Know there is adultery.

Since she had been the duke's mistress for so many years, when Ruth thought about Shen Jia, she also subconsciously regarded him as the duke, and directly regarded Song Chen as Shen Jia's new male favourite.

"It turned out to be just a male pet." The priest frowned. Controlling such a male pet always made him feel a little ashamed, but there was nothing he could do about it. This was the most important source of income for the Dark Temple, and this sum was worth 100 million gold coins. , he couldn't refuse at all.

Closing his eyes, the priest skillfully expanded his spiritual power, slowly approached those people, and suddenly attacked Song Chen among them.

At the moment when the spiritual force touched the opponent's body, Song Chen turned his head and looked straight to this side.

The priest was startled, and then felt a shock in his mental strength.

What? !The opponent's mental strength is actually stronger than him? !As soon as such thoughts appeared in the priest's mind, he was stunned by the rebound of mental power.

Ruth looked at the priest next to him reverently, but she didn't expect that the other priest would groan and fall unconscious after closing his eyes for a few seconds.

"What's going on here?" Ruth was shocked, and saw that other people were shocked by the movement here, and she didn't care about the priest of the dark temple on the ground, so she turned around and ran away, while her heart was still dark. Hate, the priest of the dark temple is nothing but a useless piece of trash.

The guards of the Duke's Mansion arrested the dark priest, and after interrogating the other party's purpose, everyone turned cold.

Because of the strong wind at night, Shen Jia went back to the room directly, and the Duchess walked in after him.Shen Jia said coldly: "I knew I shouldn't let this stinky woman go... Cough cough cough cough..."

"It's useless to regret it now." The Duchess frowned. "I know Ruth, she will not give up so easily. She must have some tricks."

"He's just a mere commoner, do you think he's great just because he has a little money?" Shen Jia said displeased.

"Calm down." The Duchess said, "You haven't become a Duke yet, and the matter is not over yet. The envoys sent by the Temple of Light are still in the territory, so it's not easy for us to do anything."

"Hmph." Shen Jia snorted unwillingly, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Mother, is it true that the medicine of the Tianzu family has not been found? I think you look wrong."

"..." The Duchess looked serious, and said, "I found it. But the matter has not been resolved, and we still need him to stay and help for the time being. Besides, don't you really want him to leave?"

"Who doesn't want him to leave?" Shen Jia's ears turned red: "It's not me anyway."

"Hey, I also know your child's temper." The duchess said: "But I still need to tell you, after all, the other party is also a man, and cannot continue the offspring, so it's fine for you to play, and you still need to marry a wife."

Shen Jia's face turned cold again: "You don't need to tell me so many things, I don't know if I can live to that day."

The duchess' eyes turned red immediately, she hugged Shen Jia and wept: "My poor child, mother will definitely find a way to undo the poison on your body..."

Outside the door, Song Chen's expression was very complicated.He just happened to pass by, why let him know so many things!And... Is it really okay to talk about private things in such a room without soundproofing!

Grant, who was next to him, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Brother...how about we go to the Duke's room to look for the potion?"

"No need." In order to avoid being overheard by others, Song Chen said as he walked, "I don't know if the Duchess is with me... and if she tears her face, it won't be good if she drops the potion in a moment of excitement. We It's better to wait a few days, the duchess should give me the medicine after this matter is resolved."

"Yes." Grant nodded, and said in a low voice: "I asked, the Duke's Mansion not only has the potion for the Celestial Clan to solve the curse, but also the teleportation scroll to the Celestial Clan."

"Eh?" Song Chen was really shocked this time: "Who are you asking?" Is there any secret in the duke's mansion _(:з)∠)_

"It's the old butler." Grant said, "Because it's useless for them to ask for things from the Celestial Clan, so I'll tell me as soon as I ask."

"So that's how it is." Song Chen nodded: "Since you already know the destination of the scroll, do you want to go back to the Celestial Clan now?"

"I...Of course I want to go back..." Grant's expression changed, "But I'm a little scared."

Song Chen: "What are you afraid of? Aren't your relatives and friends there?"

"No..." Ge Lan bit his lower lip: "Actually, I lied to you. Actually, I... didn't..."
