Chapter 340: Chapter 341: Subduing the Divine Beast, Half a Year of Seclusion (Part 3)
Lord Bai Ze’s affection for Dan Venerate, aside from the always emotionally obtuse Dan Venerate himself, was clear to everyone, and ultimately, it was due to Zi Feng kidnapping the young master to threaten him. In order to save Dan Venerate’s son, he risked his life and fell into that woman’s poisonous scheme, trapped in Bai Gu for a thousand years without freedom.
But that was her son, and for her, he had no regrets.
Otherwise, with Bai Ze’s power, how could he have let that woman roam free for so long? And Bai Ze was precisely the person she feared the most, aside from Dan Venerate and Emperor Zi, which is why she set a trap to ensnare him.
Hong Yun and Hui Ying looked at each other with a wry smile, “Didn’t Lord Bai Ze say that Dan Venerate would come back? He asked us to wait here for her, and I believe that such a splendid and powerful woman wouldn’t just disappear from the continent. One day, she will return in the most formidable way.”
Yes, they always believed that the powerful woman would surely return to Central Province.
…
White light enveloped the entire land, and under this light, Mu Ruyue felt somewhat uncomfortable. She raised her hand to block the glaring light, and only after a moment did she lower her hand.
“Where is this place?” Mu Ruyue frowned slightly and muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a milky voice came from beside her, “This is the world of the Dan Book.”
“Dan Book?”
“Yes, what you hold in your hand is not the real Dan Book, it’s only a key to the Dan Book. Here is where the real Ancient Pill Book resides, and I am the Divine Dragon, the guardian Divine Beast of the Ancient Pill Book.”
“Divine Beast?” Mu Ruyue was stunned for a moment, her gaze piercing through layers of white light to fall upon that exquisitely carved face.
It had to be said, this baby-face was incredibly cute, with a fair little face sporting a brilliant smile, a pair of silver eyes flickering, long lashes like a dense and complex forest, and a soft little body that seemed like a squishy bun, making one want to hold it tight and plant a big kiss on it.
“You’re a Divine Beast?”
Mu Ruyue was deeply shaken in her heart, since within this continent, no Divine Beast had appeared to date.
“I am indeed a Divine Beast…” the little baby-face smiled adorably, “the child of… a Divine Beast.”
Mu Ruyue’s face darkened, “Can you speak clearly? The child of a Divine Beast doesn’t mean you’re a Divine Beast. So you’re not a Divine Beast?”
The little baby-face turned red around the eyes and said with a hurt tone, “You’re scolding me.”
“When have I scolded you?”
“You just did,” tears glistened in the baby-face’s large eyes, a look of grievance appearing, “Both my parents are Divine Beasts; I have the bloodline of a Divine Beast, and I will become one in the future.”
“Where are your parents then?” Mu Ruyue glanced at the baby-face’s delicate features and raised her eyebrows to ask.
The little baby-face shook its head, saying, “I don’t know, my parents tore through the void and left this world. I don’t know where they went to travel, but they did come back once and told me about a place with high-rise buildings, many iron rhinos that could run, big iron birds that flew in the sky, and many big boxes that showed people…”
The big eyes fluttered slightly, and longing filled the baby-face’s gaze.
“I want to grow up and become a Divine Beast quickly, so I can tear through the void to find my parents.”
“High-rise buildings? Cars? Airplanes? Television sets?” A flash of surprise crossed Mu Ruyue’s mind, and she looked astonished at the baby-face full of longing, “Could it be that your parents went to Huaxia?”
