He found nothing in Nanzhao. By chance, he met a sorcerer from the Jade Nation. That sorcerer liked his culinary skills very much and wanted to keep him by his side. He originally planned to refuse, but the sorcerer told him, âArenât you looking for your son? Follow me, Iâll bring you to the Sorcerer Clan. There are many sorcerers with powerful sorcery power there. They might be able to divine it for you.â
Just for this divination, he came all the way to the Sorcerer Clan.
Unfortunately, that sorcerer was chased by his enemies and died on the way. He had fumbled his way over for the second half of the journey. Although he did not say it out loud, Yu Wan knew what was going on.
Yu Wanâs heart ached when she thought of him, a lonely old man, walking through the desert with a walking stick and a camel.
âGrandpa Baoâ¦â Yu Wan choked.
âAlright, alright, letâs not talk about me anymore. What about you? Whatâs wrong with you? Why are you here? Also, those childrenâ¦â
Yu Wan told him about the childrenâs background. When he heard that the three little fellows were Wanâerâs own, Chef Bao heaved a sigh of relief. However, other than heaving a sigh of relief, he could not help but feel sorry for them.
âDonât worry about me, Grandpa Bao. Iâm quite good,â Yu Wan said with a smile.
The three little fellows held wooden swords and practiced martial arts in the courtyard.
âBeat, beat, beat, beat!â
Smack!
Chef Bao looked at them with a rare warmth in his old eyes. Perhaps all suffering was cultivation. If even the Bodhisattva was tempted, he would be able to complete his merit.
It had been too long since they last met, and there were too many things she wanted to say. Yu Wan picked up the important things and roughly said about Yan Jiuchaoâs illness. ââ¦He was poisoned by Southern Xinjiangâs Poison Curse and the Fragrance of Hundred Miles. The two poisons repelled each other in his body for many years, and a freak combination of factors saved his life. After that, the Nanzhaoâs Poison Curse was resolved, and the poison of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles could not be suppressed.â
Chef Bao said, âWait, youâve said Southern Xinjiangâs Poison Curse⦠Iâve heard of this. Itâs said that it will be passed down to their descendants. Are the children alright?â
Yu Wan smiled. âTheyâve all been absorbed by the Gu King. Theyâre fine.â She did not know how Little Gu did it. In short, the three little fellows were indeed safe and sound.
Yu Wan continued, âTo detoxify the poison of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles, we need four types of medicinal primer. Weâve already obtained the first three. Weâre only short of the Sorcerer Kingâs tears. By the way, the man Mu Qing carried just now was the Sorcerer King. That nine-year-old child, Zhou Jin, is his youngest son.â
Chef Bao said, âThe youngest son? Doesnât the Sorcerer King only have one son? His biological motherâ¦â
Yu Wan said, âNot the Sorcerer Queen, but a member of the Sacred Clan.â
âI seeâ¦â Chef Bao nodded thoughtfully. He had not been in the Sorcerer Clan for long, so he had not heard of some things. He only knew that the Sorcerer King and the Sorcerer Queen had a son. People called him His Highness Ye Yang. It was said that His Highness Ye Yang was twelve years old, but Zhou Jin was only nine years old. Moreover, his surname was Zhou. There must be something hidden.
Chef Bao did not ask about the Sorcerer Kingâs family matters. Instead, he said, âThe Sorcerer Clan has not been peaceful these few days. Many guards have also come to the outer village. I heard from the waiter in the restaurant that a spy had infiltrated the city. I didnât expect it to be you. Youâre pregnant. When you stood at my door, I almost didnât recognize you.â
Yu Wan was a little embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly and said, âFortunately, we bumped into you. Otherwise, we would have been discovered.â
Chef Bao thought of something and looked around. âBy the way, didnât you say that your father and mother are also here? Why donât I see them?â
At the mention of this, Yu Wan sighed. âGrandpa Bao, have you heard of a bottomless pit?â
âYou mean⦠the divine pit on the Great Locust Hill?â Chef Bao asked.
âDivine pit?â Yu Wan was stunned.
Chef Bao said, âAh, thatâs what outsiders call it. That pit is extremely deep. The person who fell in has never come up. Why? Did your parents fall into the divine pit?â
âYes.â Yu Wan nodded aggrievedly.
Chef Bao did not know how to comfort her. In his opinion, the chances of falling into the divine pit and climbing back up were not as high as the chances of the Second Madam coming back from the dead, although he did not even believe that she could come back from the dead.
Creakâ
The closed door opened.
The Sorcerer King walked out with a pale face.
âGrandpa Bao, Iâll go take a look first.â With that, Yu Wan helped Chef Bao to sit on the stone bench and walked to the Second Madamâs room.
âYour Majesty, Sorcerer King,â Yu Wan greeted.
The Sorcerer King was wearing a wide cloak, a hat, and a pair of silk gloves. He tried his best to cover his face and hands that were covered in poisonous sores.
He nodded at Yu Wan. âCommandery Princess Helian.â
âAhâ¦â He knew who she was? She hadnât told him yet!
As if seeing Yu Wanâs confusion, the Sorcerer King smiled faintly and said, âIâm the Sorcerer King.â
Thatâs right, this person was the Sorcerer King. He had supreme sorcery and knew how to view stars and divination. As long as he was willing, they had almost no secrets in front of him.
âIs Wanrou⦠alright?â Dawa asked.
The Sorcerer King sighed regretfully. âSorry, I tried my best.â
Dawa fell to the ground.
The Sorcerer King said, âHer life is saved.â
Dawa rolled on the ground and stood up!
Dawa rushed in.
The Sorcerer King continued, âBut whether she wakes up or not depends on her own luck.â
So she didnât wake up? Dawa staggered and fell!
Yu Wan:
Canât he finish speaking all at once? Was he very happy after being naughty?
However, no matter what, it was good that her life was saved. According to the Sorcerer King, she was now a living dead. She had breathing and pulse, but she could not wake up from her coma. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou⦠want the Sorcerer Kingâs tears, right?â The Sorcerer King looked at Yu Wan and said.
âYes.â Yu Wan did not ask him how he knew this time. He was the Sorcerer King. Wasnât it just a matter of calculating what he wanted to know?
The Sorcerer King said, âI can give you the Sorcerer Kingâs tears, but I have conditions. â
Yu Wan thought for a while and asked, âHelp you regain the power of the
Sorcerer Clan?â
âNo.â The Sorcerer King shook his head. âI have two conditions. First, kill the Soul Rakshasa. Second, take back Zhou Jinâs motherâs corpse. When you guys do it, Iâll give you the Sorcerer Kingâs tears.â
Yu Wan frowned. âThe second condition isnât difficult. The Saint Kingâs corpse is buried in your bedchamber. We can steal it, but the Soul Rakshasa⦠Thatâs a demonic creature that even you and the Saint King canât kill. How do you want us to kill it? Die with it?â
The Sorcerer King smiled faintly. âThis is your business. You want the Sorcerer Kingâs tears, while I want the Saint Kingâs corpse and the life of Wushang
Yueii.â
Yu Wan whispered, âWill you cry if I beat you up?
The Sorcerer King laughed. âDo you think the tears that the Sorcerer King shed are all called Sorcerer Kingâs tears?â
âIsnât that so?â Yu Wan looked at him strangely.
The Sorcerer King smiled and did not say anything. He patted Yu Wanâs shoulder and whispered into her ear, âThen donât hit my face.â
Yu Wan:
