The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 313 Parties
After Ding Lin finished thinking, he waved his hand to remove the restriction, looked up, and looked through the layers of water curtain at the sky that had become clear again.

I wonder how many more years have passed since this seclusion.

……

Three years.

Bibo Pool, within the Crystal Palace.

It was the same palace.

Princess Wansheng lay on her back on the couch, her hands supporting her slightly protruding belly. Her face was pale, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she could be heard groaning in pain from time to time, her breath coming in short gasps.

"Nine-Headed Nephew, hurry... my daughter has had another attack!" A hurried voice came from outside the hall; it was the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints.

The palace doors were suddenly pushed open.

The luminous pearl shone brightly, illuminating the figures outside the palace.

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints looked back anxiously. In the darkness, the sound of footsteps 'tap tap' could be heard. The Nine-Headed Insect strolled along unhurriedly, as if taking it easy, and finally arrived in front of the palace.

“Nine-Headed Nephew…” the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints urged.

"What's the rush?" Nine-Headed Insect's voice was slow and deliberate. Upon hearing the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints' urging, he not only did not speed up, but stopped in front of the palace gate.

Half of his body was hidden in the darkness. He slightly raised his head, revealing a smirk that was neither a smile nor a frown, but one that was absolutely cruel.

“Father…” Princess Wansheng gritted her teeth, “There’s no need to be subservient to him. He doesn’t dare to act like a venerable one… so he can only show off his power to me… at most… like now… using some petty tricks… A dignified Golden Immortal… actually so despicable… Father, I… I’m only in pain for a little while longer, I… in the end he will still… still have to save me…”

The smile on Nine-Headed Insect's lips vanished instantly, and his eyes turned icy cold in a flash.

“Daughter…” The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints glanced at the Nine-Headed Insect again. The latter stood still, as if rooted to the spot, not moving an inch. The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints flicked his sleeve and hurriedly walked to Princess Wansheng’s side, sitting down on the brocade stool beside the bed.

Princess Wansheng offered her delicate hand, and the Dragon King Wansheng immediately grasped it tightly, as if this could alleviate his daughter's pain.

“Princess, you have great backbone,” Nine-Headed Insect said, his eyes cold and venomous as he looked at Princess Wansheng. “Indeed, I dare not not save you, but that Venerable One only cares about the child in your womb. For the next half quarter of an hour, your life force is enough to feed the dragon offspring. You will have to endure this half quarter of an hour of marrow extraction and bone-erosion. It will happen once every ten days. If you count on your fingers, it will be about five hundred years.”

"..."

Princess Wansheng stopped speaking. After the arrival of the Nine-Headed Insect, although the pain was getting closer and closer, she stubbornly endured it and did not even want to groan anymore.

Nine-Headed Insect watched coldly. Princess Wansheng was right. He was just taking his anger out on others. He, Nine-Headed Insect, had a noble bloodline. He was a descendant of the ancient demon god Xiang Liu. Now, he had fully awakened his bloodline and become a Golden Immortal. He was a dignified man, but he was so frustrated. He was trapped in this shallow pool because of bad luck. He had no idea what would happen to him in the future.

He just couldn't understand it. It hadn't been that long, how could such a tiny fish demon...

But no matter how unwilling they were, they could only suppress it. Now that their lives were in the hands of others, they dared not speak out against their anger.

In recent days, the Nine-Headed Insect has tried to escape several times, but each time he was caught by Qingyi and brought back. The hidden trick that the carp spirit planted on him was not just a threat. He was afraid of Ding Lin and also wary of Qingyi. In the end, he could only vent his anger on Princess Wansheng in a pathetic way.

Half an hour later.

"Forehead……"

Princess Wansheng could no longer bear it. She let out a short, dying wail, but her gaze toward the Nine-Headed Insect remained unchanged.

Nine-Headed Insect clenched his fist, his heart burning with rage. It was one thing for those two to be stronger than him and suppress him, but when did a mere mixed-blood dragon dare to mock him? He channeled his demonic energy into his right hand and swung it fiercely, almost unable to resist the urge to kill Princess Wansheng.

The pearl hanging from the roof was drawn by the demonic energy and spun into the palm of the Nine-Headed Insect. He managed to restrain himself, and the next moment, as the demonic energy poured in, the pearl emitted a soft light.

Warmth and vitality spread everywhere.

Princess Wansheng let out a comfortable groan, and a trace of color visibly appeared on her face.

The Nine-Headed Insect uses the power of the Golden Immortal.

The pearl swirled in the air and hovered above Princess Wansheng's lower abdomen. She felt life force flowing into her body, and she completely relaxed, her complexion gradually regaining its rosy hue.

Three years ago, Ding Lin made the arrangements and went into seclusion. Although the Nine-Headed Insect was unwilling, he still had to take advantage of the night to steal the pearl from the Kingdom of Jisai. Such a precious pearl, a treasure of the Golden Immortal realm, was guarded by only a few minor Nascent Soul realm cultivators. He obtained it very easily.

But this unusual occurrence clearly indicates that there is a significant cause and effect associated with this precious pearl.

Despite being outmatched, the Nine-Headed Insect could only swallow his pride and endure the pain.

A quarter of an hour later.

Princess Wansheng fully recovered. She withdrew her hand from the palm of the Wansheng Dragon King and gently stroked her belly.

"Hmph!" Nine-Headed Insect snorted coldly and flicked his hand again.

brush!
The pearl spun around and naturally returned to its original position.

at this time……

Suddenly, the entire Bibo Pool shook violently, followed by immense pressure. The celestial phenomena changed. Princess Wansheng, who was holding her belly and preparing to get down, was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"Daughter!" The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints exclaimed anxiously, reaching out to help her up.

The nine-headed worm's eyes flashed, but it didn't make a move. However, a stream of emerald magic was faster than the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints, wrapping around Princess Wansheng's body, focusing on protecting her waist, and helping her up.

"Nine-Headed Insect." The woman in green looked over from the palace entrance, her eyes icy. "I asked you to take care of her, and this is how you take care of her?"

"Senior sister, we have to be reasonable. It was clearly her own carelessness that caused her to fall. How can you blame me?" Nine-Headed Insect pouted, looking somewhat guilty.

"Thank you, Great Sage," Princess Wansheng said to the woman in green.

“If she can’t save the baby in her womb, then you won’t live either.”

Qingyi ignored Princess Wansheng and looked at the Nine-Headed Insect, speaking coldly as she tried to find the source of the anomaly. She had a vague guess in her heart; Ding Lin had given her a brief explanation before he went into seclusion.

Such commotion must have led to a result, but it was unclear whether it was good or bad. Qingyi's face seemed unchanged, but deep worry was revealed in the depths of her eyes. However, no matter how she searched, her senses remained vague, and she could only vaguely feel that it was near Bibo Pool.

Within ten thousand miles.

The Taiyi realm is beyond the comprehension of even a Golden Immortal.

"Senior Sister, what's that commotion?" Nine-Headed Insect's eyes flashed as he tentatively asked, "Is it the Venerable One?"

Beside the bed, upon hearing the Nine-Headed Insect's question, Wan Sheng and his daughter exchanged a silent glance.

"Just do your own thing," said the woman in green.

……

Jilei Mountain, Moyun Cave.

The Bull Demon King, dressed in black robes, picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it down in large gulps. Princess Jade Face nestled against his side, seemingly smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Another sip of wine down his throat.

With a satisfied expression, the Bull Demon King stretched out a thick arm and hugged Princess Jade Face tightly.

Beauty in arms.

The wine is mellow and delicious.

What's even better is that both the fine wine and the beautiful woman were obtained effortlessly.

The Bull Demon King was full of pride. He had nominally married into the family, but with his skills, he had already cleared out Jilei Mountain over the past few hundred years. Now, the mountain was filled with his trusted old subordinates.

The initial agreement to marry into the family naturally turned into her becoming a concubine.

The Bull Demon King glanced down at Princess Jade Face, who, despite her resentment, had to feign a smile and serve him with utmost care.

A sense of joy welled up inside me.

"Beauty, would you like a drink?" the Bull Demon King said. He raised his wine cup, filled it to the brim, and poured it into his blood-red mouth. However, he did not pour wine for the Jade-Faced Princess. Instead, he brought his mouth close to hers, his intentions obvious.

"Your Majesty..." Princess Jade Face said with a smile.

Just then, dark clouds suddenly pressed down, thunder rumbled, and immense pressure descended.

The Bull Demon King's smug, wine-induced arrogance vanished instantly. He gulped down the wine in his mouth, put down the wine cup in his hand, shoved Princess Jade Face aside, and stood up.

"My beauty, something is wrong. You should activate the great formation and hide in the cave. I will go out and take a look. I'll be right back."

Before the Bull Demon King could finish speaking, he had already left the cave, vanished in a flash of light, and disappeared into the distance.

Princess Jade Face slumped back against the chair. As soon as the Bull Demon King left, the forced smile on her face gradually disappeared. She sat up straight, tucked in her collar, and straightened her clothes.

The Bull Demon King said he wanted her to activate the great formation, but in reality, she didn't need to do anything. His trusted subordinates had already set up a state of emergency without her having to give any orders.

Now, Jilei Mountain, to put it nicely, is still her home, and she is the mistress of this place. In reality, it has long been Lao Niu's villa, a place where he keeps his mistress. She is the caged bird hidden here.

Princess Jade Face recalled the carefree days when her father was still alive, which were now just memories. A woman's marriage is the second major choice in her life, and she had married the wrong man, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Although the Bull Demon King seemed to treat her very well, the truth of the matter was something only she could truly know.

But what could Princess Jade Face do? She could only pretend not to know. Now she was truly alone, and by putting on an act, she could at least maintain a facade of friendliness.

As for where the Bull Demon King is going now, needless to say, it must be to the Banana Cave, where his wife and child live. After that, he might go there to see what happened. As for myself, I should only be able to see him again after everything has settled down. He will come over with a smile and whisper sweet nothings, and ask me what's wrong with him.

After all, toys are only suitable for peaceful times.

Princess Jade Face glanced at the wine pot on the table, then suddenly grabbed it, turned the spout upside down, slightly opened her mouth, and poured the remaining wine down her throat.

It's not that I'm drowning my sorrows in alcohol; I just suddenly felt like drinking.

Otherwise, what else can we do?
