Chapter 331 - Tonight I Have No Sleep Jade King Has Something to Discuss with You

Witnessing the scene before him, Brother Yong's face was etched with terror.

Just then, a blinding golden light burst forth from the great seal!

Immediately after, a thunderous dragon's roar echoed from within the light!

“ROAR~!”

The roar jolted Brother Yong awake!

Startled, Brother Yong stumbled, fear written all over his face as he dragged his wounded body and fled with haste.

After Brother Yong's retreat, the tomb lapsed back into a deathly hush, but the stillness was short-lived.

“Bang~ Bang~ Bang!”

Suddenly, a series of thuds emanated from the coffin, shattering the quiet.

Yet, as the golden light from the seal on the coffin radiated outwards, the banging sounds grew weaker and were eventually quelled.

However, some of the blood on the ground had already soaked into the coffin.

Soon, the golden light on the seal faded, returning to a soft, milky white glow, and the tomb was once again enveloped in silence.

......

Sleep eluded me tonight.

The descent of the red meteor was witnessed by many.

Some, like Jiang Hao, dismissed it as merely an unusual meteor.

At that moment, Soong Wanzhong was looking down, his face etched with concern—a stark contrast to the usually serene and composed Jade King.

This sight filled Jiang Hao with confusion.

“Uncle!”

Jiang Hao called out, snapping Soong Wanzhong out of his reverie.

Upon seeing Jiang Hao, Soong Wanzhong's anxiety seemed to lessen. He managed a smile and stepped forward to welcome him.

“My dear nephew, you've come!”

But as he caught sight of Soong Wan by Jiang Hao's side, he abruptly halted his words.

He then turned to Soong Wan and instructed,

“Wan'er, please ask the kitchen staff to prepare some food. My nephew will be joining us for lunch.”

Soong Wan was visibly reluctant.

“Dad, why can't you have someone else pass the message? Why must I go?”

Jiang Hao realized that his future father-in-law wanted a word with him privately, without Wan'er overhearing.

So, Jiang Hao gently urged her,

“Wan'er, please go ahead. Uncle and I need to discuss some matters.”

Hearing this, Soong Wan looked at Soong Wanzhong and Jiang Hao with a mix of frustration and resignation, mumbling under her breath,

“Why does it have to be a secret from me? Am I not allowed to hear it?”

Despite her reluctance, Soong Wan still left to carry out her father's request.
