Chapter 1266: Grandfather's Overflowing Love

"A deadly poison that can threaten even Dukes?"

Li Jingzhe was a little surprised by Li Luo's question. He took a look at the poison condensed in the middle of Li Luo's palm and pondered for a moment. "This poison has fused with your blood essence to form a special type of blood poison. It seems you're really making full use of your bloodline here."

At Li Jingzhe's level, he could tell with a single glance that the poison had traces of Li Luo's blood essence. He immediately connected it to the Great Sanguine Poison Art.

Li Luo explained to him frankly, "Back in the Xia Kingdom, Jiang Qing'e and I had to protect House Luolan when Father and Mother weren't around. We did everything it took to become stronger."

Li Jingzhe fell silent momentarily before he answered with a hint of frustration, "Those two are so unreliable when push comes to shove."

The Xia Kingdom was nothing in the eyes of someone like Li Jingzhe. However, it was a place full of danger for the young Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. It was honestly reckless behavior for Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan to leave the two kids behind without anyone to protect them. However, he did not really blame the two of them.

After thinking for a bit longer, he answered, "If it's a poison that can threaten Dukes, it'll be a dangerous one for you as well. I am afraid you may not be able to handle it if you wish to hide the poison inside your body. As such, we need to store it another way."

Li Luo was a little puzzled. "Where else can I keep it?"

Li Jingzhe's gaze suddenly shifted to the crimson bracelet on Li Luo's wrist.

"The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf?!" Li Luo exclaimed in surprise.

Li Jingzhe raised his finger slightly, and the bracelet floated up into the air. Complex and bright runes appeared around the bracelet. He flicked his finger, and some of the runes slowly faded away.

In the next instant, blood-colored smoke rose up from the bracelet. A thick and ferocious aura filled the air, followed by a vicious wolf howl.

Li Luo was shocked. Was the Respected Elder going to release the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf?

An enormous shadow appeared behind the thick smoke. On its back, five of its tails swung from side to side like giant pythons. A sharp shriek resounded in the air, followed by ripples continuously expanding on the surface of the lake.

This was the true form of the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf!

Clearly, Li Jingzhe had changed some of the seals on the bracelet. This had allowed the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf to appear in its true form.

It was the first time the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf had come out ever since it was sealed in the bracelet by Pang Qianyuan. Its excitement was palpable as it managed to witness daylight once again. Its five tails moved from side to side, causing gusts of wind to sweep across their surroundings.

“Roar!”

It looked at Li Luo with its ferocious eyes. This brat had been squeezing power out of it for years at this point. It had been slaving away arduously, but it dared not say anything before. Finally, it had an opportunity to escape. It was time to collect all of the interest accrued for its hard work!

Li Luo reached out to pat the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf, who was around the size of a small puppy right now, and laughed. "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? What sort of friend are you?"

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf momentarily glanced at him from the corner of its eye. If his grandfather wasn't around, it would have given him a good taste of its fangs. It would then see how many holes would be left behind on his body afterwards...

Then it turned over to Li Jingzhe and explained pitifully, "Great Sir, although the Heavenly Wolf Race can definitely cultivate the Heavenly Wolf's Bloodfiend Venom... I've yet to form the most critical part..."

"Are you referring to the Bloodfiend Core?" Li Jingzhe asked.

Clearly, he was very familiar with the cultivation path of the Heavenly Wolf Race. The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf nodded repeatedly.

"That won't be a problem. You can stay with me for the time being, I'll help you form your Bloodfiend Core," Li Jingzhe replied casually.

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was both surprised and glad. It seemed a wonderful opportunity had fallen upon it. After all, Li Jingzhe was a Quasi-Triple Crown King, which was considered one of the strongest existences even to the Heavenly Wolf Race. In fact, it would have normally been impossible for a beast like it to gain such assistance. "Considering you possess the Heavenly Wolf bloodline, your intelligence must be extraordinary. You should clearly understand why I'm willing to help you."

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf nodded again. It knew that Li Luo was the reason for all of the benefits lavished upon it. Otherwise, Li Jingzhe wouldn't even cast a glance at it.

"Don't worry, Great Sir. This little wolf here will definitely help the Young Master to the best of its abilities." The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was very flexible... not to mention willing to accept all opportunities that came knocking. Despite suppressing the urge to bite Li Luo just a minute ago, it was now addressing him as ‘Young Master.’ Li Luo was secretly pleased as he listened in on their conversation. The vicious wolf was incredibly difficult to tame in the past. In fact, it had even thought of consuming him. Who would have expected it to act so obediently right now?

Li Jingzhe nodded a little. "You're from the Heavenly Wolf Race and Li Luo possesses Heavenly Dragon blood. It'll only be to your advantage if you stay close to him. In the future, you may need his help to reach the Nine-tailed Stage."

Although the Heavenly Wolf Race was not as respectable as the Dragon Race in the world of spirit beasts, it was still a peak existence. Li Jingzhe could tell that the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf did not possess particularly pure blood. When placed amongst the members of its race, it would only be considered ordinary. If it wanted to reach the Nine-tailed Stage, it would be close to impossible with its strength alone. The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf's eyes lit up when it heard those words. It understood what Li Jingzhe was implying. After some hesitation, it lowered its head to the ground.

"I will keep your advice in mind, Great Sir."

Li Jingzhe nodded in approval. Although he knew about the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf in the bracelet, he had always treated it as one of Li Luo’s tools, not paying much attention to it. However, he had seen how the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf helped Li Luo tide through difficulties time and again over the past few months. Whether it was truly willing or not, it was undeniable that it would be a strong boon to Li Luo if it stayed by his side. As such, Li Jingzhe didn't mind helping it out to aid Li Luo.

"The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf will stay with me for the time being. Meanwhile, you can search for the Golden Stone Spirit Clam Pearl. We'll attempt the Crimson Pill Blood Refinement Resonance Art afterwards and see if the Heavenly Dragon resonance is within reach."

Li Luo nodded happily.

It seemed that this visit had reaped an exceptional amount of benefits today.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

Seeing all this planning and preparation done for him, could this be what the others called...

A grandfather's overflowing love...?
