Chapter 913: Chapter 36: Miss Liciâs âSweepâ Through the Immortal Dynasty (Request for Monthly Votes)_2 Chapter 913: Chapter 36: Miss Liciâs âSweepâ Through the Immortal Dynasty (Request for Monthly Votes)_2 âThat would work,â Wang Shouzhe thought for a moment and then took out a Sky Mechanism Recording Disk. After activating it, he said, âMr. Yusong, please feel free to say anything.â
âWhat⊠should I talk about?â Jiang Yusong asked, his expression one of dismay.
âTalk about His Majestyâs current rule, discuss the Kang Commandery Princeâs character and behavior. Donât worry, just share some honest opinions; thereâs no need to hold back.â Wang Shouzhe smiled, his demeanor as gentle as jade, elegant, and showing his âthoughtful consideration.â
Jiang Yusongâs face turned slightly dark.
Wasnât this the legendary test of loyalty?
A short while later, Jiang Yusong left Wang Shouzheâs courtyard, his face deathly pale.
The cold breeze blew, leaving his back feeling chilly. Looking back at Wang Shouzheâs courtyard, his eyes filled with a hint of fear.
No wonder when he mentioned Master Shouzhe to the Wang familyâs children, it scared them into crying on the spot, calling him the âGreat Demon King.â
At the time, he was somewhat puzzled; Master Shouzhe had always been as warm as the spring breeze, exceptionally caring toward the clanâs children, even nurturing outstanding Sky Prides like Li Yao and Zongâan. How could he have earned the title âGreat Demon Kingâ?
But just now, he had finally understood what it meant to meet the âGreat Demon King.â
Those parts kept inside the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk as a test of loyalty, if heard by His Majesty, would surely lead to a gruesome execution and the decimation of his entire family.
If heard by the Kang Commandery Prince, he would unhesitatingly be ground into mincemeat.
âWell, having boarded Master Shouzheâs ship, I never intended to disembark,â Jiang Yusong said, forcing a smile and shaking his head.
Now that the test of loyalty had been delivered, from here on out, he would just need to diligently fulfill his duties.
Thinking of the first task Master Shouzhe had assigned him, Jiang Yusong felt a tingling on his scalp. Master Shouzhe really did dare greatly.
While Jiang Yusongâs thoughts drifted, a figure wearing a floral dress and carrying a beautiful bagâa Little Qinglongâmajestically floated about a yard above the ground, passing him by.
As a genuine Azure Water Dragon, Wang Lilong had the pride that came with being a dragon. Anything that could be floated through, she would never crawl.
Tailing this Little Qinglong was a young boy who seemed listless, as if heâd already given up on life.
This boy was naturally Wang Anye.
Overseeing his Grand Aunt Lilong every day, Wang Anye felt his life had dimmed, and he was too weary at heart.
This Grand Aunt Lilong was even more troublesome than Wu Yiluo, that mischievous spirit.
âIs that⊠is that a dragon?â Jiang Yusong rubbed his eyes, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest.
Of course, he knew the common knowledge that any creature referred to as a âdragonâ was at least Level Seven!
And only monsters or Spirit Beasts that reached Level Seven could transform their shape and size at will.
âWhat are you looking at? Havenât seen a dragon before? Keep staring, and Iâll eat you, roar~â
Wang Lilong âdisplayed her ferocity,â brandishing her claws at Jiang Yusong before continuing to float back to Master Shouzheâs courtyard arrogantly.
Wang Anye helplessly greeted the sweat-soaked Jiang Yusong, trying to calm him, âIâm sorry, sir. My grandma doesnât have any ill intentions; she just enjoys scaring people. You donât have to be afraid.â
Then, he hurried after her with his short legs: âGrand Aunt Lilong, wait for me.â
Moments later, the courtyard echoed with Wang Lilongâs sweet, coquettish voice: âDaddy, Iâm back from school, I want a hug~~â
âWere you well-behaved at the Clan School today, Longâer?â
âI was very good today, just ate two teachers and five classmates, teehee~â
âYou little rascal, go on, your mother has prepared âRed-Blood Eel and Mixed Nut Spirit Rice Soupâ for you to rejuvenate and nourish your brain, specially waiting for you to come back from school, to replenish you~â Wang Shouzheâs voice was especially âaffectionate.â
âDaddy, I just remembered I promised to go to a classmateâs house to do homework, see you!â
Before even finishing speaking, Jiang Yusong felt a streak of blue adorned with flowers flash past him, stirring up a series of breezes.
But before it had gotten far, that âlightningâ flash was suddenly seized by Wang Li, a prominent lady of the Wang familyâthe figure of Liu Ruolan grabbing her back: âYou girl, your academic performance has been suffering, and itâs hard at the Clan School too, how can we not nourish your brain?â
âOh, Anye is here too? What are you doing shrinking in the corner with your head bowed, Grandmother almost didnât see you. Itâs been a few days since you last visited Grandmother, perfect timing today, youâre in luck, I made extra âRed-Blood Eel and Mixed Nut Spirit Rice Soup.â Youâre also exhausted from studying daily, eat with Longâer.â
This sentence was like a thunderbolt in Wang Anyeâs gloomy life.
His heart shattered, tears shamelessly trickling from the corners of his eyes, while his face still forced a sweet smile: âYeâer loves the soup Grandmother makes the most.â
âThen why are you crying?â
âThese are tears of joy and excitement.â
âSuch a good boy⊠Grandmother loves you the most.â
Amid the ongoing voices, Jiang Yusong mechanically moved his feet, walking further and further away.
His mind was still shocked that Master Shouzhe was raising a dragon as his daughter, yet another part of him was moved by that warm scene.
As the saying goes, the devil is in the details; Master Shouzhe and his wife were so patiently caring towards their children, and the children so adoring of them. Such a warm little family, truly enviable.
Worth following such masters and mistresses!
