659 A Family Together, Asura Rises! (2)
In other words, why was Nangong Li still alive after refining three in one go?
At the mention of this, Nangong Li was in high spirits. He smiled and could not hide his smugness as he said, âThis is all thanks to Gu Elder Meng controlling their minds with Gu worms. Donât worry, Grandpa. Theyâre loyal to me and wonât hurt me.â
As soon as he finished speaking, he sized up the Emperorâs expression. He knew that the Emperor did not say anything, but he was already shocked by the fact that he had three Asuras. The holy artifact was rare, but wasnât it rare for Asuras to appear in a hundred years?
For the sake of Asura, his grandfather would definitely forgive him.
As expected, although the Emperorâs expression was still very ugly, he did not say anything about dealing with Nangong Li.
âItâs a good thing that you have Asura, but I donât want you to use them to kill the innocent. Do you understand what I mean?â
âYes, Liâer will obey your orders.â
Wasnât it just to ask him not to send Asura to kill Xiao Zhenting and Yan Jiuchao? Ha, he would have a way to get rid of them openly!
If the Emperor wanted to protect Xiao Zhenting, he naturally would not expose him to the public. If he wanted to protect Nangong Li, he had to let him appear here openly.
The next day, the Emperor issued an imperial edict. The Empressâs health was not good, and he ordered Nangong Li to return to the Capital.
The Emperor and Empress were deeply in love. No one doubted the authenticity of this imperial edict. As for whether the Empress was pretending to be sick, it was not within everyoneâs consideration. So what if she was really pretending to be sick? He was her biological grandson. How could she watch him die in front of Xiao Zhenting?
If Nangong Li wanted to pretend to rush over from the border, he would have to delay âa few daysâ for the trip. These few days were the golden period for them to train Asura.
Losing all his strength overnight had caused Asura far more damage than he had imagined. To reignite his fighting spirit, the most important thing was to overcome the fear in his heart. But now, he didnât even dare to step out of his doorâ
The three little black eggs woke up at dawn. The first thing they did when they woke up was to go next door to look for Asura.
âAsura.â Xiaobao pushed open the door and walked in.
Asura curled up under the blanket.
Xiaobao slipped onto the bed and pulled open his blanket. âYou canât stay in bed. A baby who stays in bed isnât a good baby.â
âAsura, flower.â Erâbao picked beautiful flowers for Asura.
Dabao also presented his giftâan ugly Nepenthes.
The three of them pulled Asura up.
Xiaobao tilted his head and said, âToday, weâre going to learn martial arts from Master Ah Wei.â
Asura hugged his head, turned around, and curled up into a ball.
Asura did not want to learn martial arts.
Asura doesnât want to go out!
Dabao walked around to him and held his rough fingers. He looked at him without blinking. It didnât hurt. It did not hurt at all to practice martial arts with Master Ah Wei.
âDabao, are you in there?â Yu Wanâs gentle voice came from outside the door.
Asura seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. He crawled onto the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.
The three little fellows slipped over.
Xiaobao raised his little hand and imitated his mother coaxing him. He gently patted Asuraâs shoulder. âDonât be afraid, itâs my mother. My mother is a very good person.â
Erâbao lay on the bed and said softly to Asuraâs big head under the blanket, âItâs Mom. Donât be afraid.â
Asura slowly pulled open the blanket, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.
Erâbao smiled sweetly and rubbed his head like his father. âBe good.â
Ever since Asura woke up, he had refused to let anyone approach him, except for the three little fellows. However, Yu Wan was not sure if they could really coax Asura out.
Yu Wan gripped the cold Langya stick in her hand tightly. For the sake of everyoneâs lives, she could only go all out. If Asura refused to come out himself, she would beat him out no matter what!
From time to time, Erâbao and Xiaobaoâs gentle murmurs could be heard in the room. Yu Wan did not want to admit that she was jealous. She had never known that these little fellows had such a gentle and patient side. Were they still her sons? Were they really not someone elseâs son?
Butâ¦
It didnât seem to be working very well.
Asura did not move for a long time.
Yu Wan gritted her teeth. Son, Iâve let down your good friend! Yu Wan raised her Langya stick and strode to the door.
âMother?â Xiaobao said with wide eyes.
The three little fellows looked at her in confusion. In their hands was Asura, who finally had the courage to take the first step.
