Chapter 449 Someone is coming
Gu Hai leaped up, raised his hand, and caught the ice block that sealed the Taotie. He supported the huge ice block with one hand and slowly lowered it down. Soon, Gu Hai landed on the ground and then put the ice block aside.
Many people gathered around, their eyes fixed on the Taotie, which was frozen inside the ice.
The Taotie's eyes were wide open and its mouth was agape, as if it were still roaring, making it look extremely terrifying.
"This ice is so cold, it's bone-chilling."
"This Taotie doesn't even look that huge, so how can it swallow so much food? Won't its stomach burst?"
"It shouldn't be snowing yet, right? Will this ice melt? What if it melts later..."
Everyone was talking excitedly, while Ye Qing'an had already descended from the clouds and landed to the side.
“General Gu.” Ye Qing’an walked up to Gu Hai.
Gu Hai pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on Ye Qing'an: "Miss Ye is amazing."
"General Gu previously said that I couldn't do anything in this camp and would only cause trouble. Now that I've subdued this Taotie, I shouldn't be considered someone who only causes trouble anymore, right?"
“Of course.” Gu Hai’s lips trembled slightly. “This Taotie will need Miss Ye to escort it all the way back to the palace to report to the Emperor.”
Ye Qing'an glanced at the Taotie: "This Taotie is what I've acquired, and I plan to make it my spirit beast."
"I can't make that decision, Miss Ye. You'll have to talk to the Emperor about it."
"Row."
Ye Qing'an nodded, without even glancing at Gu Hai, and walked over to Eleven who was standing to the side.
"Mommy, Mommy, you're amazing!"
"What kind of magic did you just use? Mother, can you teach me? It was amazing, I was completely stunned."
Ye Qing'an smiled and patted Eleven's head, replying with a smile, "Okay, I'll teach you when we get back."
As Gu Hai watched Ye Qing'an and her son walk further and further away, the veins on his forehead gradually became visible.
What are you proud of?
If it weren't for his family's Heavenly Spirit Pearl, could Ye Qing'an have become a Supreme Being? Ha...
She swallowed his Heavenly Spirit Pearl, didn't properly thank him, and even gave him a hard time. She's really something else.
Gu Hai clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, his heart filled with extreme agitation. He suddenly flicked his sleeves and ordered He Yi, "The Taotie has been subdued. I'll trouble General He to send someone to keep an eye on it. The Taotie is very destructive. It was not easy to subdue it, so we must not let anything happen to it."
"Yes." He Yi responded, his gaze falling on the Taotie, then he looked up at the tent where Ye Qing'an was staying, his eyes filled with a thoughtful expression.
With the Taotie now subdued, a cheerful atmosphere filled the camp, and even the food delivered to Ye Qing'an was much better.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the food in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "This person seems to have made it his nature to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak."
“Yes,” Shen Qingdai smiled, “it’s just human nature.”
“Yes,” Eleven chimed in. “When we were on the estate, we were miserable. It seemed like everyone could bully us. Many people we didn’t even know wanted to beat and scold us, even though we hadn’t done anything wrong. Some children even tried to shoot us with slingshots.”
“Now that Mother has become more powerful, they try every means to flatter her and give her the best of everything.”
Eleven, munching on a chicken leg, looked delighted: "So I have to find a way to make myself stronger, so that no one will dare to bully me."
Ye Qing'an laughed. The law of nature: the strong prey on the weak.
It's not necessarily a bad thing that the National Day holiday is able to learn about these things early on.
Faint sounds of laughter and chatter drifted from outside. Eleven nestled close to Ye Qing'an, blinking her eyes, and asked, "Mother, the Taotie has been subdued. Will we be able to return to the capital soon?"
"The army should break camp soon, but we cannot go back yet."
"what?"
Seeing Eleven's blank expression, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Have you forgotten? We didn't come here to subdue the Taotie."
"Ah..." Eleven finally came to her senses: "Oh right, we came to find Ye Qinghao."
Ye Qing'an's smile deepened: "Yes, we came to find Ye Qinghao. Since Ye Qinghao has not yet been found, we naturally cannot go back."
"Then..." Eleven's eyes darted around, and he lowered his voice: "What about Uncle Xu? Uncle Xu is currently disguised as a military doctor in the camp. When the army breaks camp, won't he have to go with them?"
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Uncle Xu will naturally come with us. We'll figure out a way to handle it later."
"That's good, that's good." Eleven was immediately relieved, as long as his father could be with them.
In the blink of an eye, night fell.
The faint sound of soldiers patrolling could be heard outside, and then the area around the tent gradually quieted down again.
Ye Qing'an suddenly opened her eyes.
somebody is coming.
Ye Qing'an opened her eyes and saw that the tent's blanket had been slightly lifted, and then something was thrown in from outside.
Ye Qing'an squinted at him, and after a while, the person left.
"Indigo."
Shen Qingdai lit the lamps in the camp, and without waiting for Ye Qing'an's instructions, she went straight over and picked up the things on the ground.
“It’s a bamboo tube.” Shen Qingdai glanced inside the bamboo tube. “There’s a note inside.”
Shen Qingdai took out the note and handed it to Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an took the note and unfolded it.
The note was written in Ye Qinghao's handwriting: Tonight at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), in the Monster Forest.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but click her tongue inwardly: "He's not afraid of tonight's scandalous affair. I'm sleeping too soundly to receive this note."
"Is Miss going?"
“Go.” Ye Qing’an narrowed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. “I put on such a grand show during the day, just waiting for this kind of news from him. Of course I’m going.”
Ye Qing'an stood up, and Shen Qingdai quickly draped a cloak over her shoulders.
"Would you like me to accompany you?"
“No need.” Ye Qing’an shook her head. “If you come with me, it will only make me more suspicious. Just keep an eye on Eleven while you’re in the camp. If anything happens to Eleven…”
"I understand. If anything happens to the young master, I will be held responsible."
Ye Qing'an responded and gathered his spiritual power. Shen Qingdai only saw a fleeting afterimage before Ye Qing'an disappeared from the camp.
The Demon Beast Forest was extremely quiet in the dead of night. As soon as Ye Qing'an entered the Demon Beast Forest, she saw scattered lights in the pitch-black forest.
They are fireflies.
When the fireflies saw her come in, they began to fly around her, forming a line as if guiding her.
