Chapter 275 Xuannv 140
"Immortal, do you mean Xinghuan has recovered?" Upon hearing Jiaojiao's words, Yaoling King's trembling prayer beads fell to the ground with a "clatter." He abruptly raised his eyes, which were bloodshot and sunken, appearing as if he had aged ten years in just a few days. At that moment, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in those dim eyes, urgent yet tinged with fear, as he stared intently at Jiaojiao, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"He has recovered, but his cultivation level has declined, so he still needs to cultivate diligently." Jiaojiao, dressed in pristine white, spoke softly, her expression gentle, her voice soothing like a spring breeze, calming Yaoling King's nearly broken nerves. She gently waved her sleeve, her robes fluttering, radiating a peaceful aura.
Upon hearing this, King Yaoling's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down his face. His overwhelming emotions of excitement and gratitude were like a flood bursting its banks. With a thud, he knelt heavily on the ground, his knees striking the hard stone slab with a dull thud. He kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with full force, and soon his forehead was red and swollen. "Thank you, Immortal! Your great kindness is something I, King Yaoling, will never forget! This kindness and gratitude will be forever etched in the hearts of the Yaoling clan!" His voice, choked with sobs, echoed in the empty hall.
"King Yaoling, please rise. You are a long-serving minister of the Emperor, and I only intervened to save you out of respect for him." Jiaojiao moved gracefully, slightly raising her hand. A gentle, pale blue spiritual energy emanated from her palm, gently helping King Yaoling to his feet. She thought to herself, the Peacock Clan holds a revered position among the bird clans, with numerous members and immense power. This intervention can be considered a way to establish goodwill with Donghua, even though Donghua is usually carefree and may not care about such worldly matters.
"Alright, get up. What kind of skill is this, crying and whining?" Donghua, dressed in purple, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his hands behind his back, his expression calm throughout. With his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a thin pursed lips beneath his high nose, he finally couldn't help but speak up when he saw this scene. His voice was cold, like frost on a cold night, yet it carried an innate and unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Yao Ling Wang replied immediately upon hearing Dong Hua's voice. He hurriedly stood up, hastily wiping away his tears and straightening his disheveled clothes. In his heart, the Emperor was like a god; as long as he followed the Emperor closely, he would not go astray. Yao Ling Wang was a complete "Dong Hua brain." He had lost his composure earlier because he was too worried about his grandson, but now that his grandson was safely rescued, he naturally reverted to being Dong Hua's most loyal servant, his heart and eyes filled with respect and devotion to the Emperor.
After calming down a bit, Yaoling Wang hurriedly went to Xinghuan's bedside. A short while later, Xinghuan woke up, his face pale, but his spirits were still good. He leaned weakly against the headboard. Seeing his grandfather beside him, he struggled to get up.
"Xinghuan, you're finally awake. Don't move around." King Yaoling gently pressed Xinghuan down.
Xinghuan's eyes reddened, and she said in a tearful voice, "Grandpa, it was Princess Bai Qian and Goddess Bai Zhen from Qingqiu. They injured me and stole the Vermilion Bird Egg from our forbidden area. I tried my best to stop them, but their magic was too great, and I was no match for them..."
Upon hearing this, King Yaoling's face instantly turned ashen. His hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, and veins bulged on his forehead. "Outrageous! How can Qingqiu bully us like this!" He glared at them, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. He secretly vowed to seek justice for his grandson and the Peacock Clan.
