Chapter 160: You Become the Demon Lord! I'll Be the Demon Emperor (Part 3)
"Hehe~ Your Yuxuan is not bad, but my Liling is no worse." The deep, booming voice of the Old Dragon of Primordial Waters echoed, "After inheriting the ancestor's bloodline, her potential also reached Level Twelve. If well-cultivated, she will most likely reach Peak Level Twelve in the future."
"However, with such talent, relying solely on our Azure Dragon Clan will not be enough to nurture her. We need Shouzhe to take the lead with the funding, the pressure is immense, truly immense. East Wind!"
The Old Dragon sighed, saying the pressure was great, but between the lines, there was a clear hint of pride about his child's excellence.
"East Wind Pung, Two Bamboos. When it comes to potential, our Little Immortal is the strongest." Emperor Xiu's avatar couldn't help but boast, "One day, when she truly ascends to become an Immortal Plant, let's see who would dare to bully our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom again."
"It's not easy to ascend as an Immortal Plant," King Chaoyang was not as optimistic as they were, "Cultivating an Immortal Plant probably costs more than Yuxuan and Liling combined, and it depends on opportunity. The Wang family's current assets are definitely not enough. Just hope Shouzhe can earn more money. There are too many excellent children at home that need to develop and grow. We, the old guys, can lend a helping hand whenever we can."
"That's true, it looks like Family Head Shouzhe is under the most pressure."
After calculating a bit, the big shots couldn't help but lament the immense pressure on Wang Shouzhe. It's no wonder he was risking his life to earn money and gather resources.
With this situation, in their shoes, they probably wouldn't even be able to sleep at night from worry.
Ah~ Truly, children are debts from a past life. Worry if they lack aptitude, worry if they have too much.
Wang Shouzhe listened to their conversation and couldn't help but resonate with their feelings.
It seemed that his many painstaking efforts were appreciated by some. It's just a pity that his pressure was far greater than what these big shots imagined, and his ambitions were far bigger than they imagined.
"Your Highness, you won!" At this moment, the excited voice of Little Sister Green Fern suddenly sounded, "Quick, collect the money! Don't forget the money I won from fishing~"
"Green Fern! How come wherever you fish, that family wins? If this keeps up, you'll win all the money from the four families." Long Wuji grumbled in discontent, "Could it be that you see Shouzhe under great pressure and want to give him a hand?"
"Not to mention, I've heard that Green Fern has been frequently assisting Wang Zong'an over the years." Jiang Zhencang gossiped with a chuckle, "Little Green Fern, could that rumor be true?"
"Those are just rumors, not credible. However, I would love to have a child with Wang Shouzhe, but that annoying guy keeps avoiding it." Little Sister Green Fern's tone was filled with indignation, "I just want to borrow him for his genes; I don't even need him to raise the child. What's he worried about?"
"Little Green Fern, if you really have this plan, you should act early." King Chaoyang lowered his voice and said, "If it doesn't work, you can drug him and make it irreversible."
"His Highness speaks so sensibly; I'll consider it." Little Sister Green Fern also lowered her voice, but the excitement in her tone was unmistakable.
Wang Shouzhe was speechless.
Consider what, you silly?! Having a child with someone isn't something to take lightly! Even thinking of using drugs, what a despicable idea!
Moreover, the two of you have the lowest cultivation base of the Purple Abode Realm, and with such sharp hearing, lowering your voice was just futile. What are you so excited about?
Wang Shouzhe couldn't bear to eavesdrop any longer and went straight back to his room to rest.
At the same time, his heart was somewhat uneasy. Could Little Sister Green Fern really be crazy enough to do such a thing?
As it happened, before his departure this time, Little Sister Green Fern, as usual, came to visit the Wang family.
Wang Shouzhe thought, since she could be considered half of his own and the relic discovered by Old Ancestor Longyan belonged to the Demonic Plant Honored One, perhaps Little Sister Green Fern could benefit from it too, so he brought her along.
If he had known she coveted his body so much, he wouldn't have brought her along this time.
...
Meanwhile, the ironclad ship formation continued its voyage towards Mozhao Country.
Northeast of Mozhao Country, in the Seas of Without Desires, an armed merchant ship was swaying unsteadily in the sea.
No one knew what it had gone through, but its entire body was battered and tattered, even its four-corner sails had many holes. When the wind blew, it whistled, and the hull kept shaking, looking like it could sink at any moment.
Yet time was of the essence, and the merchant ship dared not stop. It could only make repairs as it sailed. The atmosphere on board was tense.
At this moment.
At the stern.
A woman in black, with a peerless face and a resolute demeanor, was gripping the gunwale fiercely, her expression both furious and hopeless, "Damn the Sun Clan! Traitors! National traitors! They have forgotten the glory of the ancestor, forgotten the sacred mission."
Her knuckles were turning a faint white from the force, even leaving imprints of her fingers on the gunwale. The aura around her kept surging like waves, as if it could erupt at any moment.
"Princess Haige." Seeing her like this, an old servant beside her urged earnestly, "Now is not the time for anger and resentment, you must stay strong. As long as we escape this sea area, we will be safe."
"Indeed! We will make it out, and escape to the Immortal Dynasty." The woman in black, referred to as [Princess Haige], collected her thoughts upon hearing this, her eyes gradually turning resolute, "So many clansmen and elders held off the pursuers for us, giving me a chance of survival. I will definitely go to the Immortal Dynasty, seek military support, counterattack Mozhao Country, and reclaim our Great Xia Country."
