1660 Mother and Son Working Together
The high-ranking elders of the Water God Clan had all changed into the signature elder robe of the Water God Clan. The female elders were wearing long dark purple dresses, while the men were wearing purplish-black clothing. There was a black robe draped over their shoulders.
The buildings of the Infant Spirit Continent were all dark. The room was dim, and all the furniture was lavish.
The elders sat in the gorgeous banquet hall.
As soon as Yu Huang entered the hall, she had the illusion that she had accidentally entered an oil painting world. The elders had seen Sheng Xiao and Ye Qingyang before, so when they saw the three of them come in with Jiang Yuye, they stood up and bowed to them.
“You’re welcome. Please take a seat.”
The elders sat down.
Sheng Xiao’s family of three was on the right side of Jiang Yuye’s seat. Prime Emperor Jiang Chen and his wife were on the left side of Jiang Yuye.
On the Infant Spirit Continent, the right side was the prime spot, so the Water God Clan had clearly treated Sheng Xiao’s family as their most esteemed guests.
As soon as they sat down, a servant brought over the local delicacies of Other Shore Island.
Sheng Xiao picked up a purple-black fruit and peeled it before handing it to Yu Huang. After seeing that, Ye Qingyang picked up another peach-colored fruit and peeled it. After peeling it, he gave it to Yu Huang and said, “Mother, I’ve eaten this fruit before. It’s very juicy and sweet.”
Yu Huang turned around and opened her mouth to bite the small fruit Ye Qingyang handed her. As she chewed it, she praised, “It’s indeed sweet.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao picked the largest purple-black fruit again. After he peeled it carefully, he handed it to Yu Huang.
Yu Huang swallowed it without saying anything.
Sheng Xiao picked up a handkerchief and wiped his fingers as he asked, “Is it that sweet?” He sounded jealous.
Only then did Yu Huang realize that she had neglected Sheng Xiao.
She carefully savored the lingering taste on her lips and teeth before nodding as she said, “It’s sweet.” After a pause, she added, “My husband chose it, so it must be the sweetest.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao smiled, while Ye Qingyang stared at the small fruit that had just been peeled in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word. He didn’t know if the fruit was sweet, but he felt angry.
Jiang Chen, Jiang Yuye, and the elders watched the family’s interaction with impassive expressions.
Everyone thought of the same thing—
This family was really prone to jealousy.
They could tell that be it the Sky Dragon Divine Master or the Undead Divine Master, they were all focused on Madam Yu Huang, who had the weakest cultivation level.
There was no need for them to deliberately curry favor with the two of them. As long as they could satisfy Yu Huang and not let her feel neglected, everything would be fine. At the thought of this, Jiang Yuye smiled and said to Yu Huang, “Madam Yu Huang, these are all fruits produced by Other Shore Island. They have beautifying and detoxifying effects on the body. They’re even more beneficial for pregnant women.”
A pregnant woman needed detoxification. These fruits had detoxifying effects, so they were indeed very suitable for her.
After Yu Huang nodded at Jiang Yuye with a smile, she picked a transparent grape that was still stained with water droplets from the plate and ate it. Then, she praised, “It’s indeed sweet and delicious. No wonder the women on the Other Shore Island are all beautiful and charming. They grew up eating these spirit fruits, so how can they not be charming?”
After saying this, Yu Huang smiled at the beautiful woman sitting beside Prime Emperor Jiang Chen and said, “Madam Yin Qiao’s skin is so fair and rosy. It must be because she ate this fruit.”
Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Yin Qiao.
Yin Qiao was holding a handkerchief and wiping the fruit juice from the corner of her mouth. Upon hearing this, she put down the handkerchief gently and nodded at Yu Huang as she said, “Madam Yu Huang, you might not know, but I’m not a local of Other Shore Island. However, the women on the Other Shore Island are indeed beautiful and charming. I think Other Shore Island is indeed a place that produces beauties.”
“I see. I thought Madam Yin Qiao was a local.” Yu Huang glanced at Ye Qingyang and said, “On the way, we heard many love stories about the two of you. I just don’t know how trustworthy the rumors are.”
Yin Qiao said, “Rumors naturally can’t be taken seriously. If the saying ‘she likes to eat fresh meat’ spreads for a hundred miles, it might become ‘she likes to eat raw meat’ or ‘she likes to eat human meat’.” With that, Yin Qiao asked Yu Huang, “Don’t you think so, Madam Yu Huang?”
Prime Emperor Jiang Chen smiled at Yin Qiao dotingly without saying anything.
Yu Huang nodded with a smile. “That’s true.”
“Oh, right.” Yu Huang suddenly looked at Jiang Yuye and asked curiously, “Mr. Jiang, may I ask if the elders are all here?” Yu Huang frowned at the empty seat in the middle of the elders’ seat on the left as she said, “This empty seat…”
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s words, Jiang Yuye’s smile became slightly colder as she said, “That’s the position of the Third Elder. However, the Third Elder has been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years. Before he went into seclusion, he once said that unless the Water God Clan is in a critical situation, we shouldn’t disturb him. Therefore, please forgive us.”
Yu Huang stared at the empty seat for a few seconds before suddenly saying, “Prime Emperor Yu Tian said something similar to me before he went into seclusion.”
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s words, Ye Qingyang said mysteriously, “In the end, he was harmed by the great fiendish cultivator Ye Qingchen during his seclusion.”
The mother and son echoed each other.
However, the expressions of the Water Divine Clan people changed.
Prime Emperor Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly. He stared at Ye Qingchen and tried his best to suppress his anger as he said in a low voice, “Undead Divine Master, please be careful with your words. The Water God Clan is heavily guarded and ordinary people can’t break in. Besides, although the Third Elder has been in seclusion for a hundred years, his soul lamp has always been in the Elder Hall of the Water God Clan and has always been lit.”
“Oh.” Ye Qingyang leaned forward slightly and turned his head. Then, his gaze passed Yu Huang and landed on Sheng Xiao as he said, “Father, I remember that after Prime Emperor Yu Tian was harmed back then, his soul lamp also remained lit, right? That’s why Prime Master Parrot thought that Prime Emperor Yu Tian had gone to another world to travel. She went to other worlds to look for Prime Emperor Yu Tian, but she had no idea about the truth.”
“That’s why.” Ye Qingyang shook his head and said playfully, “The fact that the soul lamp is lit can only mean that the soul of the owner of the soul lamp is still there and the beast form isn’t destroyed, but it doesn’t mean that the other party is really safe and sound.”
“Father, do you think my analysis is right?”
Sheng Xiao nodded solemnly. “You’re right.”
Yu Huang nodded and said as well, “You’re right.”
Prime Emperor Jiang Chen was speechless.
Jiang Yuye and the others were shocked by Ye Qingyang’s words.
With the precedent of Cang Lang Continent’s Prime Emperor Yu Tian being harmed while in seclusion, Jiang Yuye became flustered and uneasy when she thought about how the Third Elder had been in seclusion for a hundred years. She said, “The Undead Divine Master is right. Why don’t I send someone to the seclusion place to invite the Third Elder out so that we can see what’s going on?”
