King of Creation

Chapter 1949: Chapter 1934: Repaying Kindness

Ye Zhen, Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, Hu Qingtong and others racked their brains for half the day and still couldn’t figure out what the Black Cloud Great Sage’s intentions were towards Hu Qingtong.

Indeed, Hu Qingtong was beautiful, with a unique temperament.

But the problem was, the Demon Race’s girls, especially those from the Fox Clan, were known for their beauty.

Just in the past few days, Ye Zhen had seen several beauties in the Fox Clan whose looks were not inferior to Hu Qingtong’s. The only thing Hu Qingtong excelled in was her temperament.

However, it was impossible for the Black Cloud Great Sage to fall in love with Hu Qingtong after just one meeting.

Not to mention Hu Qingtong had a child. With the Black Cloud Great Sage’s status, he could find any kind of beauty he wanted in the Demon Race.

Moreover, though Black Cloud Great Sage was the third son of Black Tiger King, he himself was already thousands of years old.

At such an age and status, he had likely seen and been with thousands of beauties. It’s impossible for him to be captivated by Hu Qingtong after just one encounter.

After pondering for a while, Ye Zhen suddenly took out paper and pen, and started drawing on the spot. With just a few strokes, a portrait appeared vividly.

"Qing Tong, take a look at the Fox Clan Demon Commander who proposed that you make a gesture the other day. Is it this person?" Ye Zhen pointed at the portrait he had just drawn.

Hu Qingtong took a glance and was immediately surprised, "Huh, Brother Ye, how did you know? It was indeed this person who suggested it."

"This person is the think tank of the Black Cloud Great Sage, Demon Commander Fox ZiBo!" Ye Zhen remembered him very well because he had been duped by the Black Cloud Great Sage in the Black Tiger Prison.

Ye Zhen slowly withdrew the portrait, "In that case, when Black Cloud Great Sage visited Qingqiu last time and asked Qing Tong to make a gesture, it may not have been a coincidence but a deliberate plot!

Therefore, Black Cloud Great Sage’s intentions towards Qing Tong cannot be merely based on his admiration for Qing Tong’s beauty, especially since he hadn’t seen Qing Tong before this.

Nor can it be just for beauty that he wants Xuan Hu dead!

From this deduction, Black Cloud Great Sage’s intentions towards Qing Tong are likely not simple."

This was the conclusion reached by Ye Zhen and his group, but they still couldn’t understand the specific intentions of Black Cloud Great Sage towards Hu Qingtong, nor could Hu Qingtong herself figure out what she had that was worth the Black Cloud Great Sage’s scheming.

While they couldn’t fathom these intentions, they couldn’t afford any delay in rescuing Xuan Hu.

According to Sunx Ba’s plan, he would continue to hide in Zhu Hong’s belly to recover from injuries, and Ye Zhen along with Zhu Hong would go to White Tiger City, take the Dragon Saliva Peach, and rescue Xuan Hu.

No matter what, Black Cloud Great Sage is after all the son of Black Tiger King; he has to listen to Black Tiger King.

The Dragon Saliva Peach will surely be able to appease Black Tiger King. If one isn’t enough, then two. Let’s rescue Xuan Hu first.

"Qingtong, leaving you and Chi Ling’er alone here isn’t safe. Why don’t you come with us? If something happens, we can also take you far away." Ye Zhen considered and said to Hu Qingtong.

"Besides, I didn’t know before, but now that I do, I definitely won’t let you two suffer outside anymore."

"This...."

What Ye Zhen said was true, but Hu Qingtong couldn’t quite wrap her head around it just yet.

Having been a couple for only one night back then, she found it hard to suddenly start living with Ye Zhen.

Sunx Ba didn’t understand this, but Zhu Hong, who was quite meticulous in his thinking, did.

"Actually, there’s something else I’m worried about." Zhu Hong suddenly spoke.

"Our group’s relationship in the Taimeng Demon Realm isn’t a secret these years. With some investigation, the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King can naturally find out.

Unless he’s an idiot, he will definitely follow this clue down to find Brother Monkey’s whereabouts. In this situation, Qing Tong staying here isn’t very safe, especially with Chi Ling’er."

Zhu Hong’s words shocked Ye Zhen greatly, as he hadn’t thought about this in detail before. After hearing Zhu Hong, the consequences were terrifying upon careful consideration!

If something happens to Chi Ling’er and Hu Qingtong, Ye Zhen would regret it.

Hu Qingtong was also shocked. When it involves Chi Ling’er’s safety, she could not let emotions cloud her judgment and returned to reason.

"In that case, Qing Tong, it’s best we leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better, to avoid being found by the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King’s men." Ye Zhen said.

"Okay."

Hu Qingtong was extremely clever, and once she was no longer controlled by her emotions, she immediately made the right choice.

"However, before leaving, I need to say goodbye to the Great Clan Leader face-to-face and thank him for taking care of us, mother and daughter, over the years."

Hu Qingtong herself had the Green Fox Bloodline, but within her bloodline, there was also a part of the Ancient Bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, though it was somewhat mixed.

Due to her bloodline, when Hu Qingtong became pregnant, she carried for three years and six months before giving birth to Chi Ling’er.

This not only gave Chi Ling’er the Nine Veins Heavenly Meridian talent but also made it so that Ye Zhen, who had seen Hu Qingtong several times on the True Profound Continent, couldn’t have imagined Hu Qingtong would have his child.

Upon arrival in the Taimeng Demon Realm, at the Fox Clan’s Qingqiu Tushan, He Qingtong’s own origins from the Fox Clan made living there feasible.

However, Chiling, who possesses the human clan bloodline, encountered opposition from many Fox Clan elders.

She wasn’t allowed to live in Qingqiu.

At that time, as an orphan and widow, Chiling was very young and incredibly pitiful.

It was then that the Great Clan Leader of the Fox Clan, Tu Zheng, intervened and made the decision to accept Chiling and let Hu Qingtong and her daughter settle down.

When Hu Qingtong and her daughter were bullied by other members of the Fox Clan, he stood up for them multiple times to ensure fairness and protect Hu Qingtong and her daughter.

This made Hu Qingtong very grateful, always wanting to repay the kindness but never finding the opportunity.

However, before leaving, Hu Qingtong felt she must inform the Great Clan Leader first, otherwise sneaking away silently would weigh heavily on her conscience.

Listening to all this, Ye Zhen felt rather heartbroken.

It’s imaginable how difficult the situation was for Hu Qingtong and her son when they first arrived in Qingqiu.

Ye Zhen always repays kindness.

Thinking it over briefly, he handed Hu Qingtong a Dragon Saliva Peach, given to him by Sunx Ba, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, but never eaten.

"I’m still young, and this item is temporarily useless to me. Since your Fox Clan’s Great Clan Leader took care of you, we must repay this kindness.

When you say goodbye later, place this Dragon Saliva Peach in this storage ring and give it to your Fox Clan’s Great Clan Leader as a token of gratitude," Ye Zhen said.

"Keep yours, I have more here, use mine." Sunx Ba offered another Dragon Saliva Peach.

"Brother Monkey, that’s inappropriate; we’re repaying the favor, how can we use your items?" Ye Zhen said.

"What’s inappropriate?"

Turning his eyes, Sunx Ba replied, "Then tell me, what treasure did you use to dissolve the Power of Dao Realm Laws lingering around my Demon Core just now?"

"Do you really think I, Old Sun, lack insight?"

"I’ve been roaming the Taimeng Demon Realm these years and have gained some insight! Not to mention, the only power in this world that can quickly and safely dissolve the Power of Dao Realm Laws is one!"

Sunx Ba spoke slowly, "And in terms of value, your power surpasses even this Dragon Saliva Peach."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hong got anxious, "Brother Monkey, what power is it? Why keep us guessing?"

Prompted by Sunx Ba, Hu Qingtong recalled something, "Brother Monkey, are you referring to... All Living Beings’ Wish Power?"

"Of course! What else could dissolve the Power of Dao Realm Laws quickly and safely in such a short time?

Besides the All Living Beings’ Wish Power, regarded as treasures by Dao Realm and Creation Gods, what else could it be?"

After speaking, Sunx Ba continued earnestly, "Brothers, I may not know the source of your power, but to save me, you quietly pulled out such treasures.

If you weren’t keen to eat and use a few fruits from your brother, how could he feel at ease?"

"This..."

With Sunx Ba having said this much, Ye Zhen accepted it.

Indeed, he had employed the All Living Beings’ Wish Power while saving Sunx Ba earlier. In that situation, only the Wish Power could dissolve the Power of Dao Realm Laws, consuming about half a drop, which, though not much, was exceedingly valuable to some Dao Realm experts.

"I know you still have your parents on the True Profound Continent, so today I give also, and you can plan with the extra one." As he spoke, Sunx Ba handed Ye Zhen four more Dragon Saliva Peaches, which Ye Zhen could only accept one by one.

"However, once Qing Tong presents this Dragon Saliva Peach to their Clan Leader, given the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor’s Dragon Saliva Peach theft is already widely spread in the Taimeng Demon Realm, directly offering it might stir up trouble." Zhu Hong pointed out another potential issue.

This indeed posed a problem. After brief consideration, Ye Zhen placed one Dragon Saliva Peach in a storage ring, then performed some refining on it. Half a quarter-hour later, the storage ring bore a set of seamless, mysterious talisman patterns shimmering with brilliance.

"This storage ring employs a secret artifact refining method from my sect, allowing the sealing on it to be seamless and flawless.

The seal lasts for only a month, after which it automatically dissipates and loses effectiveness. However, within this month, if someone attempts to violently open the storage ring, it will trigger the restriction, damaging the internal structure and causing the internal space to collapse, obliterating its contents."

"Qing Tong, you can give this storage ring to your Fox Clan’s Great Clan Leader, indicating it’s a small token of thoughtfulness, and explain the important relationships a month later, so no issues arise."

Ye Zhen’s meticulous design solved the problem.

"Alright, I’ll head over now." Hu Qingtong took the special ring refined by Ye Zhen and left.

However, within less than an hour, Hu Qingtong returned somewhat helplessly.

"It seems we won’t be able to leave today," Hu Qingtong said.

"Why?"
