The Sorcerer Queen brought Zhou Jin to the Yuehua Palace. That was where the Sorcerer Queen and the Sorcerer Kingâs son, His Highness Ye Yang, lived.
Seeing that the Sorcerer Queen had arrived, the maidservants and apostles in the palace knelt on the ground. No one dared to spy on the Sorcerer Queenâs face, nor did anyone dare to ask who the little boy brought by the Sorcerer
Queen was.
âWhereâs His Highness?â The Sorcerer Queen asked indifferently.
The in charge said, âSorcerer Queen, His Highness Ye Yang has had lunch and has just fallen asleep.â
âCall him to the study,â the Sorcerer Queen said seriously.
âYes.â A trace of shock flashed across the in charge womanâs face, but she still agreed respectfully.
The Sorcerer Queen held Zhou Jinâs hand and went to the study.
The furnishings of the Yuehua Palace were much more normal than the Sorcerer Harem and the Sorcerer Kingâs Palace. It was spacious, colorful, and had exquisite pavilions and relief sculptures. At a glance, it was a palace suitable for luxury and comfort.
If the Harem and the Sorcerer Kingâs Palace were like the dark night, then the Yuehua Palace was the day.
When Zhou Jin entered, he finally revealed some innocence and inexperience that belonged to someone his age. He looked around curiously.
The Sorcerer Queen looked at him in satisfaction. âIf you like, I can give you a similar palace.â
Zhou Jin did not reply. He retracted his gaze and walked forward without looking sideways.
The Sorcerer Queen smiled. No matter how much he pretended to be mature, he was still a nine-year-old child. There would be times when he inadvertently revealed his true nature.
âMother!â
In the study, Ye Yang saw the Sorcerer Queen. His eyes were red, as if he had just woken up from his sleep. He was wearing a sky-blue cloud-patterned robe. He was tall and handsome, and his black hair was tied behind his head.
The twelve-year-old Ye Yang was taller than children his age. When the nine-year-old Little Zhou Jin arrived in front of him, he was a head shorter.
âMother, who is he?â Ye Yang pointed at Zhou Jin curiously.
âYour fatherâs guest,â the Sorcerer Queen said meaningfully.
Ye Yang widened her eyes in shock and sized up Little Zhou Jin. âFatherâs guest? Why does Father have such a young guest?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Sorcerer Queen smiled gently. âHeâs here to help you. With his help, you can have your own sorcery power. The sorcery power that is inherited from your father is most suitable to cultivate into the Sorcerer King.â
âHuh?â Ye Yangâs eyes widened. He knew that he did not have any sorcery power. His father was the Sorcerer King and had supreme sorcery power. However, he did not inherit any of it. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, but he was not too disappointed. The inheritance of the Sorcerer Clan did not rely on bloodline to begin with. Even if he cultivated to the Sorcerer King Realm, there was less than a hundredth of a chance of passing down the sorcery power to his descendants. Moreover, it was not a deliberate inheritance, but a coincidence.
All these years, his mother had been thinking of a way for him. Unfortunately, he could not absorb the sorcery power of others.
The reason might be related to his royal bloodline. If the sorcery power was too low, it would be rejected by the royal bloodline.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Yang looked at the Sorcerer
Queen. âWho is he? Why can I use his sorcery power?â
âAs I said, heâs your fatherâs young guest.â The Sorcerer Queen patted Ye Yangâs head. âMotherâs Ye Yang will soon have his own sorcery power.â
Ye Yang did not get the answer he wanted, but the last sentence stirred up endless longing, and he even forgot what he was asking.
âThen can I also become the Sorcerer King?â He asked expectantly.
The Sorcerer Queen patted his head dotingly and said, âOf course, Mother will definitely let Ye Yang become the Sorcerer King.â
There was a secret room in the study. The Sorcerer Queen let the two of them enter the secret room and asked the maidservant to bring hot water and soak the herbs.
âTake off your clothes and sit in it,â the Sorcerer Queen said to the two of them.
The two of them obediently took off their clothes and sat in their wooden buckets.
The Sorcerer Queen had been waiting for this day for a long time. Everything was complete. She was only waiting for the Great Elder and a few powerful
Great Sorcerers to come and convert the sorcery power for the two of them.
It was impossible to say that there was no risk. In order to minimize the rejection of their bloodline and to prevent Zhou Jin from fainting halfway, the Sorcerer Queen soaked the two of them in the best medicinal liquid of the Sorcerer Clan.
They had to soak for a full two hours. She wondered if the Sorcerer King would be very surprised when he heard this news. The Sorcerer Queen smiled coldly, picked up Zhou Jinâs clothes, and left the Yuehua Palace elegantly and charmingly.
âIâm Ye Yang. Whatâs your name?â Ye Yang turned around and asked Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin ignored him and only quietly soaked in the medicinal liquid with a calm expression.
Ye Yang said, âHey, if your sorcery power is really useful, I definitely wonât treat you badly. Anyway, sorcery power is useless to commoners like you. Why donât you give it to me and Iâll give you the position of Great Deity?â
The Great Deity was an important minister in charge of the ritual in the palace. His status was only lower than the Elder Hall.
Zhou Jin still ignored him.
Ye Yang was angry. He was the prince of the Sorcerer Clan! It was already this kidâs fortune that he was willing to lower himself and talk to him. This kid actually dared to ignore him?!
âAre you deaf?â Ye Yang splashed a handful of water at Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin suddenly looked up at Ye Yang!
Ye Yang was caught off guard by the cold gaze. His body stiffened and his hand trembled, causing the water to splash on the ground. Zhou Jin did not stop there. He grabbed his chest with his little hand and grabbed a white light, throwing it straight at the dumbfounded Ye Yang.
âSorcerer Queen! Sorcerer Queen! Something bad happened!â
Just as the Sorcerer Queen stepped into the bedchamber of the Sorcerer Kingâs palace, she saw an envoy from the Yuehua Palace hurriedly walk in.
The Sorcerer Queen frowned impatiently. She retracted one of her feet that had already stepped in coldly and turned to look at the maidservant. âWhat happened to make you shout in the Sorcerer Kingâs palace?â
The maidservant ran too quickly and lost her balance. She staggered and fell to the ground. She couldnât care less about the pain and said in a sorry and panic,
âHis Highness Ye Yang is missing!â
The Sorcerer Queenâs expression changed!
The Sorcerer Queen hurriedly left the Harem and headed for the Yuehua Palace. Yu Wan, who was behind the wooden curtain, heaved a sigh of relief. That was close, that was close. She had almost been caught by the Sorcerer Queen!
Suddenly, Yu Wan realized something. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she said, âThe Sorcerer Clan only has one prince, right? Why is the Sorcerer Queenâs son missing? Also, the Sorcerer Queen came by herself just now. I didnât see Zhou Jin. Where did Zhou Jin go?â
Swish!
A small white light flashed into Yu Wanâs arms. Yan Jiuchao reached out to block it. Little Gu hit Yan Jiuchaoâs palm and stuck to it for a second. It rolled its eyes, stuck out its tongue, and fell to the ground.
âEh?â Yu Wan looked down at it. âArenât you with Zhou Jin? Why are you here? Whereâs Zhou Jin?â
Little Gu worm got up from the ground in a daze and pointed outside the door with its little claws.
Yu Wan opened her mouth. âOutside the Sorcerer Kingâs palace?â
It pointed again with its little claw. Yu Wan broke out in cold sweat. âOutside the Harem?â The little claw pointed again.
Yu Wan gritted her teeth. âHe left the palace?!â
Little Gu retracted its claws and nodded like an old man.
The Sorcerer Queenâs son had just disappeared when Zhou Jin left the palace⦠It couldnât be such a coincidence, right? Yu Wan covered her chest. âNo, it canât be what I think, right?â
Little Gu raised its little claws. Hoo hoo ha ha!
This was it knocking down Ye Yang.
Little Gu raised it up and kicked it!
This was it poisoning Ye Yang with Gu.
Little Gu flipped over!
This was it controlling Ye Yang.
Ye Yang was like a doll that could be played with. He held Zhou Jinâs hand and walked out of the palace openly as a prince of the Sorcerer Clan.
After understanding the truth of the matter, Yu Wan was stunned. âYou, you, you, you, you, you⦠You have this function?â It could actually bewitch people?!
Little Gu pointed its claws adorably.
I have all kinds of things you like.
Yu Wan was going crazy, crazy, crazy! This child was quiet and honest. Who knew that he would have done such a big thing!
âItâs good that he was kidnapped, â Yan Jiuchao said as he looked at the unconscious Sorcerer King. âIt saves us the trouble of taking action.â Yu Wan calmed down and thought about it. That seemed to be true.
Their original plan was to obtain the Sorcerer Kingâs tears and let Zhou Jin pretend to agree to the Sorcerer Queenâs request. Then, he would fake his death during the process of outputting his sorcery power. With a spy like Dawa around, they did not have to worry about not being able to transport Zhou Jin, who had faked his death.
With Zhou Jin dead, the Sorcerer Queenâs hatred would end here. However, that was before they saw the Sorcerer King. After seeing the Sorcerer King, they realized that Zhou Jinâs fake death was not valid.
As long as the Sorcerer King was still hit by the backlash of the sorcery power, it meant that Zhou Jin was not dead.
This was probably why the Sorcerer Queen still firmly believed that Zhou Jin was still alive even after he had disappeared for so many years. He could not hide his fake death from the Sorcerer Queen at all.
This was one of the changes. The second change was that the Sorcerer Kingâs tears were not easy to obtain. If she wanted the Sorcerer Kingâs tears, she had to make him cry first. However, how could the Sorcerer King cry now?
So the original plan was already useless. It was not a bad thing for Zhou Jin to kidnap the Sorcerer Queenâs son out of the palace at the last minute.
Next, the person who was threatened was going to become the Sorcerer Queen!
