She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 458 - Unworthy

Chapter 458: Unworthy

After Sheng Zhou left, Sheng Xiao took out his phone and wanted to inform Yu Huang.

On the day of the Battle of the Eight Towers Mountain, more than 13,000 clansmen of the Yin Clan had died. When the clansmen working outside heard the grievous news, they rushed back.

Yu Huang and Ji Linyuan stood at the entrance of Eight Towers Mountain in mourning clothes and personally welcomed the clansmen who had returned to pay their respects.

The Yin Clan had a total of more than 20,000 people. Most of the civilians who stayed in the clan were middle-aged and old people, while the young people were all out adventuring in the world. There were people in business, politics, the military, and people from all walks of life.

When these young people saw the new Patriarch personally standing at the entrance to welcome them, they were all very touched.

They had all heard the rumors about Yu Huang. They all admired and loved Yu Huang. They believed that their young patriarch would definitely grow into an outstanding person like Prime Master Yin Mingjue in the future.

A young man walked in front of Yu Huang. His eyes were red as he choked on his tears and shouted, “Patriarch.” The young man kept his head lowered and was too ashamed to face Yu Huang. He hadn’t awakened his beast form and was ashamed that he couldn’t fight alongside the beast tamers in the clan.

Yu Huang could feel the sorrow and guilt in the young man’s heart. She personally folded a piece of mourning cloth and placed it on the young man’s head.

Yu Huang patted the young man’s shoulder and said, “Live well and continue to glorify the spirit of Yin Clan for your parents and ancestors. Only then can we let their souls rest in peace.”

“… Yes. We will!”

After watching the young man leave, Yu Huang heard Ji Linyuan say, “Junior Sister, you’re also promoting the Yin Clan’s spirit on behalf of my mentor. If he knew in the netherworld, he would definitely be able to rest in peace.”

Yu Huang was stunned. She raised her head and looked at the brightest star in the sky above the Yin Clan. She said in a low voice, “This is the inheritance.”

At this moment, Yu Huang’s phone rang.

Yu Huang said to Ji Linyuan, “I’m going to take a call.” She took her phone and walked to a quiet corner. She heard Sheng Xiao ask, “Caro Xiangfu is looking for my father in Yufu City. He wants to ask him for some Ice Crystal Thread. Saint Grantling just arrived at the Divine Sea in the morning. At night, Caro Xiangfu looked for my father to collect materials. What are they doing?”

“Ice Crystal Thread?”

Ice Crystal Thread was an extremely precious material. Usually, it would only be used to forge fourth-grade and above spirit weapons. Thinking of the existence of the Demon Fetus in Caro Zhengyang’s body, Yu Huang immediately guessed the use of this Ice Crystal Thread for the Caro Clan.

“They’re going to forge a grade five spirit artifact, the Demon Nurturing Pearl!”

“Demon Nurturing Pearl?” Sheng Xiao wasn’t a Purifying Spirit Master. He was unfamiliar with such a spiritual weapon. He asked, “What’s the use of the Demon Nurturing Pearl?”

“The Demon Nurturing Pearl is similar to the Spirit Nurturing Drum that you bought at the Golden Auction in Rakshasa Empire. The Spirit Nurturing Drum can nurture souls, while the Demon Nurturing Pearl can nurture demons. Similarly, the Demon Nurturing Pearl can also sense the existence of demons.”

After thinking for a while, Yu Huang said, “From the looks of it, Saint Grantling is unable to remove the Demon Fetus for Caro Zhengyang. She plans to forge the Demon Nurturing Pearl and find the super demonic creature behind the Demon Fetus.”

The news that Prime Emperor Zhengyang was unwell had long been spread. Caro Xiangfu personally came to Yufu City to ask Sheng Lingfeng for the Ice Crystal Thread. Whether it was out of morality or family relations.h.i.+p, Sheng Lingfeng couldn’t reject his request.

Once Grantling successfully forged the Demon Nurturing Pearl, Prime Emperor Zheng Yang would discover that Kong Qing was a super demonic creature sooner or later. At that time, Kong Qing’s life would definitely be in danger.

Sheng Xiao was in a difficult position. He was definitely biased towards Kong Qing emotionally. He hoped that his father wouldn’t give the Ice Crystal Thread to Caro Xiangfu. However, as the young master of the Sheng family, being on good terms with the Caro family would only be more beneficial to the Sheng family. He shouldn’t ask his father to reject his request.

Seeing that Sheng Xiao didn’t say anything, Yu Huang could guess what he was thinking. She smiled calmly and told Sheng Xiao, “You don’t have to be troubled. Since Kong Qing dared to do this, he doesn’t care that he will be discovered. Besides, Grantling might not be able to deal with Kong Qing.”

Furthermore, Lin Jiansheng had Kong Qing’s back.

“Okay.”

Sheng Xiao had just hung up when he saw Caro Xiangfu walking into the small courtyard under Sheng Zhou’s lead.

Sheng Xiao hid in the dark and watched Caro Xiangfu enter his father’s study. Then, he walked into the Soul Hall.

Seeing that he was heading towards the Soul Hall, Sheng Zhou chased after him.

The Soul Hall was a small tower. There were more than a thousand soul lamps emitting different spiritual lights in the tower. Each lamp represented a Beast Tamer. There were Sheng Xiao’s and Yu Huang’s.

Sheng Xiao’s mother’s soul lamp was also in the tower. The soul lamp had been extinguished, but Sheng Lingfeng didn’t take it away. He believed that the day when Lan Yao’s soul lamp would be lit again would come.

Sheng Yang’s soul lamp was placed below Lan Yao’s soul lamp.

Sheng Yang had been missing for more than ten days, and the soul lamp that belonged to her had always been lit.

Sheng Xiao stared at his sister’s soul lamp and frowned. He felt frustrated.

Sheng Zhou came behind Sheng Xiao. He stared at Sheng Yang’s soul lamp and said softly, “I come to the Soul Hall every morning and night. I only feel at ease when I see her soul lamp lit.”

Wasn’t Sheng Xiao the same?

Sheng Xiao suddenly turned around and asked Sheng Zhou, “Do you like Yang Yang?”

Sheng Zhou looked up at Sheng Xiao. He didn’t admit it, but he didn’t deny it either.

Sheng Xiao suddenly snorted. “Eldest Senior Brother, if you don’t even have the courage to admit that you like someone, you might as well give up early on.” Then, he turned around and looked down at Sheng Zhou. He said dotingly, “Although my sister isn’t a top genius, in my eyes, she is good in every way. She deserves to be liked by a brave and outstanding boy.”

When he heard that, Sheng Zhou’s expression instantly became ashamed. He clenched his fists and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “But I’m twenty years older than her. She’s the little princess of the Sheng family, and I’m just an orphan. I’m not worthy of her.”

Sheng Xiao sneered. “You’re indeed unworthy of her.” After a pause, Sheng Xiao said mercilessly, “Because you’re cowardly.”

Cowardly.

Sheng Zhou felt crushed. He felt even more ashamed.

When Sheng Xiao came out of Soul Hall, he happened to meet Caro Xiangfu. However, Caro Xiangfu was in a hurry and didn’t notice Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao arrived at Sheng Lingfeng’s study. Without waiting for him to ask, Sheng Lingfeng said, “Caro Xiangfu ran to the Light Sea and invited Saint Grantling of the Elven Royal Family to exorcise Prime Emperor Zhengyang. Saint Grantling thinks that the Demon Fetus in Prime Emperor Zhengyang’s body isn’t an ordinary demon, but the demonic energy of a super demon.”

“I heard that the Demon Nurturing Pearl can sense the existence of super demonic creatures. Grantling plans to forge a fifth-grade spirit artifact, the Demon Nurturing Pearl.”
