Chapter 1449: Chapter 1449: Why Does This Feel Like Entrusting an Orphan? (4 Updates)
“If you want to make further progress, you need a fragment of the soul and a drop of Nine Refined Essence Blood from the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!” Hu Wang didn’t keep them in suspense and said with a smile.
Hiss~
Everyone, including Ye Haochuan, gasped involuntarily.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is a legendary creature, its existence is uncertain. Not only do they need a fragment of its soul but also Nine Refined Essence Blood, the requirements are too high!
The soul is the overlord of a being, taking a fragment would cause significant damage to itself, who would be willing to give it?
The soul is one thing, but the Nine Refined Essence Blood is even more frightening. Ordinary Essence Blood is already the essence of the body. One Refined Essence Blood requires the refinement of two drops of Essence Blood, Two Refined requires the refinement of two drops of One Refined Essence Blood, equivalent to four drops of Essence Blood.
Following this logic, Nine Refined Essence Blood requires the refinement of five hundred and twelve drops of Essence Blood. Even though Demon Beasts have more abundant Essence Blood compared to the Human Clan, five hundred and twelve drops of Essence Blood would be enough to kill a High-Level Demon Beast several times.
“Patriarch Hu, you’re not joking, are you? This… is fundamentally impossible!” Ye Haochuan swallowed hard and said with difficulty.
Hu Wang smiled bitterly and said, “I originally thought it was a joke too, but our Hu family’s genealogy clearly records the deeds of that ancestor. I can’t prove whether it can truly awaken, but if you’re interested, you can try yourself!”
“I say, Patriarch Hu, are your expectations for me too high? That’s a legendary demon beast, calling it a Divine Beast wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Even if I can find it, it’d be lucky not to be wiped out in one go, let alone asking for Nine Refined Essence Blood, isn’t that seeking death?” Ye Haochuan said, crying.
Hu Wang laughed and said, “Your talent and strength are worth my high expectations!”
Oh dear, I’ve only known you for an hour, and you’re already impressed by my talent to such an extent?
Ye Haochuan felt very proud, but ultimately was still somewhat in disbelief.
Hu Wang smiled without speaking. After a long while, he said to Hu Zhong, “Zhong’er, go pack up, and follow Junior Brother Ye shortly!”
“Father, isn’t it too urgent? Your condition has just improved a bit, I wanted to take care of you for a few more days.” Hu Zhong said unwillingly.
Hu Wang’s face immediately turned stern, and he said in a deep voice, “Do you really think I’m already old? Such a minor injury, yet you want to take care of me?”
“But…”
Hu Zhong wanted to say more, but Hu Wang interrupted him, “You unfilial son, usually when I ask you to come back more often, you refuse, only know to mess around. Now there’s such a rare opportunity to learn and progress with Junior Brother Ye, but you are whining, are you trying to infuriate me?”
Hu Zhong was clearly angry, and in his agitation, he started coughing again.
“I’m listening, I’m listening, Father, don’t get worked up!” Hu Zhong hurriedly approached and patted Hu Wang’s back, speaking with concern.
“Now hurry up and pack!” Hu Wang showed no gratitude and commanded directly.
Hu Zhong dared not say more, quickly went inside to pack his things.
Ye Haochuan watched, bewildered, wondering if Hu Wang wasn’t too hurried.
“Patriarch Hu, let me heal you fully first!”
“I have to trouble Junior Brother Ye then!” Hu Wang said with a smile, changing his stern tone towards Hu Zhong.
Immediately, Ye Haochuan used the Silver Needle combined with Longevity Spirit Qi to expel the remaining toxins from Hu Wang’s body. He then took out the Thunder Source Bee Royal Jelly and said, “Long-term exposure to toxins has damaged your vitality, drinking some of this can replenish vitality.”
“An item to replenish vitality?” Hu Wang looked at the Thunder Source Bee Royal Jelly with surprise and was amused, suddenly declining, “Such a good item is wasted on me. I am just weak from long illness, a bit of rest will do.”
Ye Haochuan knew that this was Hu Wang finding the item too valuable, and immediately smiled, “I can get as much of this as I want, how is it wastage?”
Ye Haochuan wasn’t bragging, with his relationship with the Purple Lightning Bee Emperor now, he could ask for Thunder Source Bee Royal Jelly at any time.
Hu Wang was surprised by Ye Haochuan’s words, but quickly turned delighted, no longer declined, and drank the royal jelly in one go.
After consuming the royal jelly, Hu Wang’s complexion visibly improved at a rate that could be seen by the naked eye, even his speech became more vigorous.
“Junior Brother Ye, we Hu family cannot repay your great kindness!” Hu Wang suddenly said with a smile.
“You gave me the family cultivation technique, I owe you the favor!” Ye Haochuan said with a bitter smile.
Hu Wang didn’t dwell on this, instead said to Ye Haochuan, “It’s getting late, Junior Brother Ye, I entrust my son to your care!”
“Why does this feel like you’re entrusting your legacy?” Ye Haochuan teased.
Hu Wang couldn’t help but smile, “You’re overthinking it, I just want my son to learn more from you, don’t hold back!”
“A Nine-Tailed Sword Qi is enough to exchange for myself, what qualifications do I have to hold back?”
After some idle chatter between Hu Wang and Ye Haochuan, Hu Zhong finished packing and returned. Hu Wang did not say much and let Hu Zhong leave with Ye Haochuan.
After they left, Hu Wang and Hu Ke’s expressions turned cold.
“Brother, it’s all because I was too impulsive, bringing such a crisis to the Hu family!” Hu Ke suddenly said with a guilty expression.
Hu Wang smiled, “Killing her is good, ever since she entered the Hu family, we haven’t had peace. This time she caused Father’s death, it’s just right to kill her for revenge.”
Hu Ke was deeply serious, he was the main cause of these events. If he hadn’t been incited by Niuzhi, his father wouldn’t have died. Now, killing Niuzhi has plunged the Hu family into crisis, and he’s filled with remorse.
“Don’t think too much, entrusting Zhong’er to Ye Haochuan is just for insurance. It’s still unknown if the Niu Family will find out!” Hu Wang consoled.
Hu Ke surveyed the people in the room and sighed, “Hope they don’t find out!”
With that, his expression turned cold, and he swung his sword towards the terrifying maids around…
…
Ye Haochuan took Hu Zhong back to the inn to settle in, while he went to find the phone repair shop again. Originally, he planned to go, but was delayed by encountering the Hu Family, spending several hours.
“Damn! My phone is finally usable!”
Ye Haochuan took the phone, paid the repair fee, and turned the phone on.
Beep beep beep~
Unexpectedly, as soon as the phone turned on, it received a series of text notifications, informing Ye Haochuan that someone had called him. Ye Haochuan checked and found out that almost all of them were from Zhu Wenjing.
Damn! This is bad!
Seeing these texts, Ye Haochuan remembered Zhu Wenjing once said if he didn’t come within a month, she would break off with him, his face instantly changed.
Damn it, in a blink of an eye, several months have passed, time sure flies!
Ye Haochuan thought bitterly about Zhu Wenjing’s tantrums, feeling a headache.
I’m going all in, can’t believe I can’t handle her!
After a mental struggle, Ye Haochuan dialed the phone.
“Ye Haochuan! You jerk, you dared to stand me up! I won’t talk to you anymore!”
As soon as the call connected, Zhu Wenjing shouted into the phone, then “bang”, hung up. However, before the line disconnected, Ye Haochuan faintly heard a soothing voice comforting Zhu Wenjing.
Oh no! Could this girl really cut ties with me?
Holding the phone with a busy tone, Ye Haochuan didn’t know what to say for a moment, not given a chance to explain.
“Haha, this girl, said she wouldn’t talk to me, yet calls again.”
Ye Haochuan curled his lips, just as he was about to put the phone away, it rang again, and upon looking, saw it’s Zhu Wenjing calling.
