Chapter 381: Chapter 381 - My Wife Is Indeed Smart

When Caro Zhengyang heard that Madam Sheng had taken the initiative to sacrifice her Monster Core to save her husband, he naturally thought that Lan Yao was dead. Today, he came to the Sheng family and didn’t see Madam Sheng’s tablet, so he couldn’t help but ridicule Sheng Lingfeng.

Unexpectedly, Madam Sheng had only turned into her original form and hadn’t really died.

However, now that he had spoken, Caro Zhengyang had to bow.

Caro Zhengyang stared at the smiling Young Madam in front of him with a sinister gaze, but he still received the Soul Returning Incense.

Caro Zhengyang chuckled and said, “Although Madam Sheng is a divine demon, she values relationships more than humans do. I wish you the best of luck in condensing your Monster Core and reconstructing your human body!”

Caro Zhengyang inserted the three incense sticks into the table and looked up at Sheng Lingfeng. “Patriarch Sheng’s daughter-in-law is quite nice.”

Sheng Lingfeng nodded with a smile and pretended not to hear Caro Zhengyang’s sarcasm. He said, “As the mistress of the Sheng family, Yu Huang naturally has to have that sort of bearing.”

Hearing how protective Sheng Lingfeng was of Yu Huang, Caro Zhengyang smiled ambiguously and went to the study with Sheng Lingfeng to talk.

Sheng Xiao carried his mother’s body and went to the artificial lake with Yu Huang. He leaned against the railing of the lake and said to Yu Huang helplessly, “You were a little naughty today.”

Yu Huang stared at Caro Zhengyang’s back and sneered. She said, “Do you think this old thing is really here to pay respects to his old friends? He’s here to show off that his old friends have already been buried and turned into bones, yet he has become a Prime Emperor.”

“He even deliberately said those words to snub your father. Does he really think our family is that weak?”

Sheng Xiao smiled when he heard that Yu Huang was protecting their family. “Although you’re a little naughty, you did a good job. Guess what Caro Zhengyang wants to do with my father.”

Yu Huang said firmly, “He wants to join the Beast Tamer Alliance.”

Sheng Xiao gave Yu Huang a thumbs up. “My wife is indeed smart.”

The Beast Tamer Alliance was the only official organization in the cultivation world of the Holy Spirit Continent. The person with the most power in the organization was the headquarters’ president, followed by the ten elders.

Below the elders were 90 members.

These 101 people controlled the entire cultivation world. They were representatives of power and status.

Yu Huang wanted to jump onto the railing and sit down. Sheng Xiao saw her and quickly hugged her waist. He raised her and placed her on the railing.

Yu Huang sat on the railing and pressed a hand on Sheng Xiao’s shoulder. She stared at the building where Sheng Lingfeng was working and analyzed calmly, “All these years, the cultivation level of the disciples in the Caro Clan has been getting lower and lower. The Caro Clan has also lost its position as one of the Ten Great Elders and become an ordinary member. Now that Caro Zhengyang has broken through to the Prime Emperor cultivation level, the Caro Clan will naturally revive.”

“In my opinion, Caro Zhengyang’s goal isn’t just the elder seat. What he really wants is the position of the headquarters’ president.” There was a hint of mirth in Yu Huang’s eyes.

“Logically speaking, as Prime Emperor, Caro Zhengyang indeed has a high chance of winning if he wants to compete for the position of President. But Father also broke through to the Prime Master realm a few days ago. During his reign, he has always been conscientious and dedicated, and he has won the hearts of many. Now, if Caro Zhengyang wants to compete for this position with him, his chances of winning are greatly reduced.”

“He deliberately said those words in the ancestral hall to snub Father just to vent his displeasure.”

Sheng Xiao remained silent while Yu Huang was analyzing the situation. However, he was smiling.

After Yu Huang finished speaking, Sheng Xiao raised his hand and patted her buttocks. He sighed. “Why is my wife so smart?”

Yu Huang was embarrassed by Sheng Xiao’s compliment. It was obvious. She had lived for more than two hundred years. If she couldn’t even realize this, she would have lived in vain.

Sheng Xiao moved his hand up and stopped at Yu Huang’s slender waist.

He hugged Yu Huang’s waist and narrowed his eyes. He shook his head and said, “That’s not all.”

Yu Huang revealed a surprised expression. “What else did I not expect?”

Sheng Xiao’s eyes were sharp. He said, “The Caro Clan spent seven hundred years playing this game. They must have a deeper motive. Moreover, my father and I investigated the Caro Clan a few years ago and found something strange.”

“Oh?” Yu Huang asked in confusion, “What is it?”

Sheng Xiao said, “In the past hundreds of years, many independent beast tamers have died or disappeared mysteriously. My father found that the disappearance of those people was more or less related to the Caro Clan. However, we continued to investigate, but there was no new development. Later, when the Blood Peacock Organization appeared, everyone blamed the disappearance of those beast tamers on the Blood Peacock Organization.”

“But Father and I always felt that the Caro Clan was dirty.”

A terrifying thought appeared in Yu Huang’s mind when she heard Sheng Xiao’s words. “Are you suspecting that the breakthrough of Caro Zhengyang to the Prime Emperor Realm has something to do with those missing independent beast tamers?”

Sheng Xiao’s expression was serious. He said, “It was just a guess in the past because the Caro Clan does business on the surface. Their methods are quite ethical. We only had a guess when we found out that the old monster, Caro Zhengyang, was still alive and had successfully broken through to the Prime Emperor cultivation level.”

Yu Huang said, “If your guess is true, then Caro Zhengyang is too sinister.”

Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “Caro Zhengyang is a person from hundreds of years ago. You might not have heard about him.”

Yu Huang had really never deliberately investigated this person. She only knew that there was a grudge between him and the Grand State Master.

“What else do I not know?”

Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang about Caro Zhengyang’s background. He said, “Caro Zhengyang was born in the Cang Lan Empire. At that time, natural disasters frequently erupted in the Cang Lan Empire. There were a few years when the plague of locusts erupted together, and his family starved to death.”

“He escaped to the Divine Moon Empire with a group of people and wandered to Myriad Tong City. At that time, there was a kind-hearted rich man in the city. The rich man’s surname was Yu, and he was famous for being a kind person. Caro Zhengyang was on his last breath when he collapsed at the entrance of the Yu Family. He was taken in by Mr. Yu and became a servant.”

“After that, that old bastard awakened his beast form. Mr. Yu took him in as his adopted son and sent him to the Beast Tamer Academy to study. Later on, Caro Zhengyang married Mr. Yu’s only daughter. It’s said that she was also a famous beauty.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Huang had a guess. “Then what happened? Why did Caro Zhengyang marry into the Caro Clan?”

“There was a fire in the Yu Family’s house, and their entire family was burned to death. At that time, Caro Zhengyang had already submitted to the Caro Clan and worked for them. When he received the news and rushed back, the Yu Family had already been burned into ruins.”

“Three months later, Caro Zhengyang changed his surname and married Caro Longsha.”
