Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 455 Risking Yourself

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes, then suddenly looked up. Yes, there was also the Emperor.

If the news that Ye Qing'an, a Holy Spirit Body, had upgraded to a Supreme after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl reached the Emperor's ears, then the Heavenly Spirit Pearl in his possession would likely be lost.

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Hai's mind. He absolutely could not hand over this Heavenly Spirit Pearl just like that.

We must make a decision and prepare before the Emperor receives the news and before the people he sent arrive.

And it's probably not just the Emperor; once this matter gets out, countless people in the world will likely covet the Heavenly Spirit Pearl in his possession.

He doesn't have much time left to consider.

However... it's not entirely without a solution...

Gu Hai slightly curled his pinky finger; he could put on a show to buy himself some time.

“This Taotie should indeed be dealt with as soon as possible, but I’m also afraid. Wangjing City is, after all, the imperial city, right under the emperor’s nose. If we send the Taotie back to Wangjing City, it might suddenly break free from our control and start causing trouble in the city, making the situation difficult to control.”

Ye Qing'an was well aware of Gu Hai's thoughts, and nodded solemnly: "General Gu is absolutely right. So, General Gu, what do you think is the most appropriate way to handle this matter?"

"I think we should send someone back to report to the Emperor that Taotie has been subdued, but instead of sending Taotie back, we should remain here and await the Emperor's decision."

Gu Hai stood up and flicked his sleeves: "Perfect timing, perfect timing. Prime Minister Ye has not yet been found. Now that Taotie has been subdued, we can devote all the troops in the camp to the search for Prime Minister Ye's whereabouts. We should have news of Prime Minister Ye soon."

Ye Qing'an nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I heard that Father was injured after the battle with the Taotie, and he happened to fall in the middle of the Demon Beast Forest, near the Death Waterfall."

"Yes, that's true. But Death Falls is far too dangerous. We have no idea what the highest-level magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest are like. We can only search in little by little and dare not venture too far into the heart of the forest. The search is not easy."

Ye Qing'an nodded silently: "I was thinking that no matter how powerful the magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest are, they are still just magical beasts. Now that I have upgraded to the Supreme, I should be able to go to the Death Waterfall to check out the situation."

Gu Hai suddenly turned to look at Ye Qing'an: "You want to risk your life and go to Death Falls to check the situation yourself?"

"Yes."

Gu Hai frowned, inwardly sneering. He was just a Supreme Being, did he really think he was invincible? No matter how profound one's spiritual power is, if one doesn't master the techniques, having a lot of spiritual power is useless.

If she wanted to go and die, he would naturally agree. After all, if she died, he would have one less enemy in the world.

"It's wonderful that you have this intention. You and Prime Minister Ye truly have a deep father-daughter bond, which is truly enviable."

Gu Hai hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is there anything you need me to prepare for you?"

Ye Qing'an frowned and thought for a moment: "There's no need to prepare anything. I'm taking him with me on Eleventh. He's too young, and there's no one in this camp who can properly protect and take care of him."

"Hmm..." Gu Hai chuckled inwardly. Bringing a child along, isn't this just sending them to their deaths?

Do you think that just because you're the supreme being, you can freely enter and leave the very center of the Demon Beast Forest?

However, she probably forgot that although she was a Supreme Being and could subdue a Taotie, there were quite a few magical beasts like Taotie in the Magical Beast Forest.

Ye Qing'an ventured alone into the most dangerous Death Waterfall, and there was only one outcome: death.

“There is one more person.” Ye Qing’an raised her eyes: “I hope that Lord Gu can hand over the military doctor who treated me yesterday to me as well.”

"A military doctor?" Gu Hai was genuinely surprised. What would Ye Qing'an want a military doctor for?

"I've heard that the monsters in the Monster Forest are extremely ferocious, and the closer you get to Death Falls, the more powerful they become. I've always felt that the army doctor was probably lying, so I wanted to bring him in with me."

"I want to see if he'll speak the truth in front of those magical beasts."

Gu Hai glanced at Ye Qing'an; this woman certainly had a lot on her mind.

If he refuses, Ye Qing'an might think that he is protecting the military doctor.

Although he also wanted to know what exactly happened with the Heavenly Spirit Pearls, one of the two Heavenly Spirit Pearls had already fallen into Ye Qing'an's stomach and could not be retrieved, while the other was still in his hands...

She's just a military doctor; if Ye Qing'an wants her, just give her to her.

"Okay, I'll have someone tell him about this later. Tell him when you plan to enter the Monster Forest, and I'll have him pack his things."

"Let's do it first thing tomorrow morning."

"can."

Ye Qing'an left the main camp and glanced in the direction of the Monster Forest.

Next, many people will likely vie for the Heavenly Spirit Pearl. She only wants to observe the conflict from afar and has no desire to get involved in the dispute she instigated.

Ye Qing'an returned to the camp, and Eleven and Shen Qingdai came to greet him.

"Mother, how is it? Is the army preparing to break camp and return to the capital today?"

“I’m not going back.” Ye Qing’an’s lips curled up. “Gu Hai is currently holding a Heavenly Spirit Pearl. He’s afraid that if he goes back, the Emperor will make him hand it over. So he’s decided to send someone back to report that Taotie has been subdued and wait for the Emperor’s instructions.”

Shen Qingdai narrowed her eyes: "Although Gu Hai will not return to Wangjing City, I'm afraid many people will still be drawn to him and try to seize the Heavenly Spirit Pearl."

"Yes."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "So, we'll leave this camp first thing tomorrow morning. I told Gu Hai that I'm going into the Monster Forest to find Ye Qinghao. We'll leave after we enter the Monster Forest."

"Then, we'll find a place to watch the grand show that's about to begin."

Shen Qingdai pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "The Fire Emperor Pavilion does have some properties not far away. I will have the people from the Fire Emperor Pavilion enter the Monster Forest early tomorrow morning to meet the master."

"Ah."

Eleven's focus was different from the others: "Now that Mother is gone, what will happen to Taotie? Will Taotie come out again?"

Ye Qing'an laughed: "I will thicken the ice on Taotie's body and then instruct the ice-type mystic sorcerers in the camp to reinforce it morning and evening. There will be no problem."

Moreover, even if all the ice melts, the Taotie will not wake up without Yi Moxu's command.
