Ch 81
Chapter 81: Purge
“Nuo Fei! Stop it!”
Just as Nuo Fei was about to execute Mo Weng on the spot, someone hidden in the dark couldn’t bear it anymore and quickly spoke up to stop her.
Nuo Fei raised an eyebrow and looked towards the sound. She saw an old Black Dragon clan leader leading the second group of people out, looking indignant, and sternly reprimanding, “Nonsense, this is truly nonsense! Is this how you treat your elders! Let go immediately!”
“Elders?” Nuo Fei sneered, arrogantly lifting her chin, “You’re worthy of being called elders too!”
The clan elder’s eyes twitched, his chest heaving with anger. “Since you’re so heartless, don’t blame us for being unjust. The surroundings of Dragon Palace have always belonged to the dragon clan’s territory. Now it’s arbitrarily divided among outsiders by you, which is truly unreasonable!”
“We, the elders of the Dragon Palace, and the opinions of the tribes, will absolutely not agree to this!”
“Wanting to usurp the throne is wanting to usurp the throne, with so many nonsensical reasons. Do you really think that by flapping your lips, everything should be handed to you on a silver platter!”
Nuo Fei twisted her ankle, stepped on Mo Weng’s neck, and knocked him unconscious. With a crisp sound from her hands, she attacked the clan elder’s heart without hesitation.
The clan elder felt the energy released by Nuo Fei and his face changed drastically.
Didn’t they say that these two were both in a weakened state recently, and would be easy to deal with!
Otherwise, how could they have so brazenly succeeded in challenging the throne!
The clan elder’s side looked serious and immediately rushed forward to block.
The incident with Mo Weng just now happened suddenly, and they were caught off guard, but now everyone saw Nuo Fei attacking the clan elder. Like grasshoppers on a rope, they couldn’t just sit back and wait for death.
An Jue sighed helplessly. After glancing at Ye Ze, he also stepped forward to help.
As for Nuo Yan, needless to say. He had long been displeased with this group of people. If it weren’t for the matter of the cub, where would he tolerate their arrogance. Seizing the opportunity now, if he didn’t beat them until they were toothless, he wouldn’t be the notorious captain of the law inspection team.
Ye Ze looked at the several Emperor-level powerhouses blocking their way and couldn’t help but sigh. He had guessed right from the beginning that Dragon Palace was still a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.
However, Ye Ze was no longer the Emperor-level he was when he first arrived.
“Bang!”
Ye Ze raised his arm and easily blocked an attack from an Emperor-level beastman, “Choosing me as your opponent, you might have miscalculated.”
“Whether it’s a miscalculation or not, it’s not up to you to decide.” The beastman snorted coldly and grabbed Ye Ze’s arm. In an instant, three Emperor-level beastmen appeared behind Ye Ze and launched a full-scale attack.
“If that’s all the tricks you have, it’s not enough.”
Ye Ze’s hair moved without wind, and he gave the beastman a strange smile.
The beastman’s pupils shrank. By the time he wanted to retreat, it was already too late.
Countless tough vines shot up into the sky, and the surrounding thorns turned crimson as if they could drip blood. In the blink of an eye, the area within dozens of meters of Ye Ze was filled with creatures being chewed up and devoured like monsters feasting on intruders in their territory.
“Everyone here is a guest at the ceremony, and I won’t let any guest be in danger.” Ye Ze walked out easily from the high platform covered in blood rain, ignoring the chaotic battles raging around him. He opened his arms and declared to the audience below, “As long as everyone stays in place, I promise you all will not be affected in any way.”
Strange rainbow crystal grids shimmered and floated around the viewing platform, forming an invisible protective barrier. The chaotic “spectators” within the fighting range were stunned to find that the energy clashes were actually being blocked outside.
Today’s festivities were indeed quite lively.
Such a sentiment suddenly surfaced in the minds of many.
While the experts in the inner circle fought fiercely, the sounds of clashing weapons began to ring out in the periphery.
Seeing the situation turning against him, the clan elder who was being suppressed by Nuo Fei was both shocked and angry. “You knew we were going to take action, deliberately setting a trap for us?!”
“Calling it a trap is giving you too much credit. Did you think your actions were covert?” Nuo Fei sneered.
If it weren’t for her and An Jue having a conflict at the time, how could this group of people have had the opportunity to tamper with the baby egg!
The thought of her well-behaved baby being made to suffer so much by these people made Nuo Fei’s attacks even more ruthless.
Under the protection of the World Spirit, the little snake sub-beast was not affected in the slightest.
But he was completely confused by this situation.
Outside, it seemed like a fight had broken out!
The little snake sub-beast covered his eyes with the soft grass leaves, utterly bewildered.
Wasn’t today supposed to be the public ceremony for the project? He had even prepared for a celebration dinner with his uncle and aunt.
But suddenly it turned into a scene of palace intrigue, with villains leading armies to attack the imperial city.
The little snake sub-beast felt like he might be having a big dream of falling into a palace intrigue drama—after all, recently, stories with transmigration themes were quite popular.
Thinking like this, the little snake sub-beast shifted his buttocks and found a comfortable and warm spot between the waist and belly of the horned deer. He obediently lay down and closed his eyes.
Maybe when he woke up, he would still be sleeping with Ye Zi on a soft bed.
No complex racial relationships, no strange horns growing. Still the snake-like Nuo Nuo that Ye Zi loved the most!
The little snake sub-beast reached out to grab the edge of his hat and covered his little head.
One minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed, and instead of the sounds of fighting disappearing, they seemed to be getting closer?
The little snake sub-beast couldn’t help but peek out from his nest of escapism. He pulled down a small gap in the vines and leaves and looked out quietly.
He saw Ye Ze, smiling, squatting in front of him. He flicked his forehead with a smile.
“It’s bustling outside, and here you are, sleeping.”
“Nuo Nuo wasn’t sleeping secretly.” The little snake sub-beast saw Ye Ze and quickly pulled the leaves down, puffing out his cheeks in rebuttal.
“Nuo Nuo just thought Nuo Nuo was dreaming.” The little snake sub-beast muttered softly as an addition.
Ye Ze couldn’t help but laugh at him.
He patted the little snake sub-beast’s head, his eyes gentle and affectionate, unable to tell that just a moment ago, he had been covered in blood on the battlefield.
“What’s wrong, Nuo Nuo, don’t you want Uncle and Auntie to become Mommy and Daddy?” Ye Ze took the little snake sub-beast out of the horned deer’s embrace and kissed the soft cheeks of the little snake sub-beast.
“No.” The little snake sub-beast shook his head, subconsciously wrapping his arms around Ye Ze’s neck, looking confused.
He had been alone since he was little, and he had long been accustomed to living alone.
Maybe when he was very young, he would envy other children in the tribe who had relatives. But gradually, those expectations seemed less clear.
Moreover, he had Ye Zi now.
The little snake sub-beast tightened his arms and leaned into Ye Ze’s secure embrace, burying his face in Ye Ze’s neck, acting spoiled.
With Ye Zi around, Nuo Nuo was no longer alone.
Nuo Nuo was living well and happily now.
Nuo Nuo didn’t know if life would still be as peaceful and happy as before with the addition of the roles of “Mommy and Daddy” and the lofty title of “Dragon Clan.”
“Of course it will be.” Ye Ze replied affirmatively, as if he had heard the little snake sub-beast’s thoughts. “Uncle and Auntie love Nuo Nuo very much. After becoming Mommy and Daddy, they will love Nuo Nuo even more.”
Ye Ze turned his head and dropped tender kisses between the little snake sub-beast’s hair, promising, “The love and happiness Nuo Nuo receives will only triple. Or even more.”
“…Mm.” The little snake sub-beast’s heart felt warm. He hugged Ye Ze tightly and nodded gently.
Life with Ye Zi around.
It will always get better.
