As Wu Ding was playing with the Emperor-grade soul bead in his hand, the system in Lin Zhan's mind, staring at the screen before him, suddenly's eyes lit up:
"Holy crap, an Emperor-grade soul bead, good stuff. It's just what's needed to repair the host's soul and allow the host to wake up early."
Before everyone's astonished eyes, the soul bead in Wu Ding's hand slowly floated towards Lin Zhan and stuck to Lin Zhan's forehead. Waves of soul power seeped into Lin Zhan's mind.
All the Human Emperors instantly gathered around Lin Zhan. Tang and Wu Ding jointly unleashed the embers of Great Starfire, probing Lin Zhan's soul bit by bit.
"The soul bead will aid Zhan'er's soul recovery. The soul power within the soul bead is continuously mending the damage to Zhan'er's soul," Tang said to the crowd after retracting the Great Starfire.
Then, he took out the soul bead of the Emperor-grade necromancer he had slain when supporting Liu Xiu.
The moment it was brought out, this soul bead also slowly adhered to Lin Zhan's forehead.
The Black Dragon Emperor was the first to speak, "Quickly find those little brats contracted with Zhan'er and see what's happening with them."
The young Daoist Zhang Haoming, upon hearing this, ran out.
In the villa's garden, the four little ones were sitting amongst a pile of wine jars, gnawing on boneless beef ribs and chatting.
Xiao Bao, swaying his large head, said, as more than half of the wine jars scattered on the ground were consumed by this panda:
"To tell you the truth, these old guys are quite resourceful. They found a way to heal our boss so quickly. I can already feel pure soul power flowing over."
Xiao Ji yawned and said, "Brothers, do you think, with such pure soul power, we could somehow intercept a bit through our contracts?"
The other three little ones' eyes instantly lit up and they said:
"Ah, man, Xiao Ji, that's a great idea. Let's go take a look later at how many soul supplements these old geezers have prepared for the boss. First, satisfy the boss's healing needs, and then the rest we'll divide equally with the boss."
As the four little ones were plotting about Lin Zhan's grand tonic, the young Daoist, running with his short legs, called out:
"Four brothers, hurry up, the Ancestors are calling for you." Su Dan Novel Network
The four little ones stood up unsteadily and headed towards the house. Xiao Bao walked up to Zhang Haoming, casually picked him up, placed him on his neck, and walked off with the young Daoist.
The crowd of Human Emperors looked at the four little ones swaying, reeking of alcohol, and clearly having drunk their fill. Yu Longyan said irritably:
"Can you brats give us some peace of mind? Your boss is like this, and you're still in the mood to eat and drink? And that little Jin and little Hei, it's fine for Xiao Bao to stand up, but you two, one is a snake, the other is a turtle, what are you doing standing on your hind legs? Trying to show off that you're tall?"
Xiao Bao, drunk, looked at Yu Longyan and said:
"You old fossil, stop acting like you're so senior. Don't say I'll have our Ancestor deal with you later. If I get really angry, I'll directly take your little affair with Jiu Li Mei'er and report it to Ancestor Chi You."
He then walked up to Lin Zhan and carefully felt his pulse. He said to Zhang Lingxiu:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The boss is not in serious danger. If left alone, it would take two to three years to recover, but if there are enough soul beads, the boss can be fully healed in at most a month. You don't need to worry, and don't think about finding a little wife for the boss. Just listen carefully yourself, otherwise, if you bring in a bunch of messy people, our brothers won't like them either."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. When Brother Hei's level gets higher, he'll give you some Profound Water True Blood to nourish your body. Then you and the boss can have more great-nephews for us."
Xiao Bao then turned to Yu Longyan and said:
"What are you guys panicking about over such a small matter? If the boss were really in trouble, we brothers would be the first to sense it. Didn't you see we're not rushing? What danger could the boss be in? Use that time to research more Emperor-grade soul beads for the boss so he can recover quickly."
Xiao Bao looked at Yu Longyan's unfriendly gaze and said:
"What's with that look? I'm telling you, I'm the most beloved cub of our Ancestor. Think carefully before you move against me. How old are you guys, still acting so rash and reckless every day."
After saying that, Xiao Bao's huge body, like a golden mountain collapsing, fell down. Soon, loud snoring could be heard.
Yu Longyan coldly looked at the drunken, sleeping giant panda and said irritably:
"This scoundrel. Where did this generation of ruffians from his race come from in Huaxia? Why didn't Ancestor Chi You smash him to death back then?"
Tang smiled and glanced at Lin Zhan. Knowing that Lin Zhan was alright and there was a way for him to recover quickly, this Ancestor was relieved. He then lowered his head and gazed at the sleeping Xiao Bao, saying:
"Hehehehe, I must say, the personalities of these little brats are quite like Zhan'er's. Equally black-hearted, shameless, plus full of wicked schemes. They are all good children. Looking at these children, Ancestor knows they will achieve great things."
Hou Yi stood up, radiating killing intent, and said to the crowd:
"Let's go, brothers. Let's take this opportunity to descend upon the necromancer tribe. We can get some soul beads for Zhan'er, and also avenge the two times they sent Emperors to attack my Huaxia descendants."
Da Yu and the others' eyes also lit up, saying:
"Good idea. Let's directly annihilate all their Emperor-level experts. It's a pity we still need some pretexts to silence those old geezers from the Ten Thousand Races, especially since our descendants weren't harmed."
Tang thought for a moment and said, "This matter is easy. Watch me."
With that, he grabbed Liu Xiu and Ba Xia and gave them a good beating, specifically targeting their faces.
Two minutes later, everyone looked at the tattered, bruised and swollen Liu Xiu and Ba Xia and nodded, saying:
"This is about enough now. They look quite pathetic."
"Ah."
Just as the Human Emperors were about to tear through space, they heard Liu Xiu and Ba Xia's screams.
They turned back and saw Di Xin sheathing his sword. Looking down at Liu Xiu and Ba Xia again, they found that each of them had been stabbed in the backside.
Di Xin nodded and said, "I feel that what just happened wasn't realistic enough, there was no blood. Esteemed Ancestors, do you feel much better now?"
Everyone looked at the bleeding buttocks of the two and nodded, saying, "Indeed, Zixin's consideration is thorough."
As soon as everyone turned their heads, two more screams rang out.
Wu Ding looked at everyone's gazes and said, "I felt Zixin's stab wasn't quite right, so I added another one. Now they're symmetrical, which looks much better."
The Human Emperors knew Wu Ding had been stimulated and his old habit had returned, so they didn't say much.
Liu Xiu and Ba Xia, lying on the ground, said with tears streaming down their faces, "Esteemed Ancestors, why are we always the ones getting hurt?"
Da Yu said sternly, "You are the mascots, easily believed."
