C350 Qiao Hongyu

"Hmph, you'll forget it every time I come back."

In front of her father, Qiao Feiyan displayed her young daughter's mischievous attitude. Qiao Hongyu lovingly rubbed the other party's head, "Yes, it's royal father's fault. Royal father promises that when you return from the academy again, I will personally welcome you back, okay?"

"That's more like it." Qiao Feiyan stuck out her tongue playfully, then asked, "Royal father, I heard that you haven't been feeling very well lately, what's the situation?"

"I'm fine."

"It's really fine?"

"It's really alright, do you see how royal father is doing now?" Qiao Hongyu answered full of energy.

However, the two of them were father and daughter after all, and Qiao Feiyan could tell that the other party was intentionally hiding something right away. She stood up immediately and stared at Qiao Hongyu earnestly, "Hurry up and tell me honestly, or else I'll secretly sell all the paintings you collected."

Qiao Hongyu immediately glared at him. "This won't do, royal father I only have this one hobby of collecting paintings and calligraphy. If you take them to sell, it's the same as letting royal father bleed for me."

"Hmph, then why aren't you explaining?" Qiao Feiyan placed both of his hands on his waist, looking like he would not give in at all.

"Alright!" Qiao Hongyu finally compromised, and once again pulled his precious daughter to the side and sat her down. A trace of helplessness was revealed between her brows. " Yan'Er, there is indeed one thing that has caused your father to be unable to think of a way to eat and drink. "

"What is it?"

Qiao Hongyu nodded slightly, then opened his mouth to explain to the other party the recent events in Yue Lan Empire.

It turned out that a dozen years ago, the Yue Lan Empire, the Grand Seal Empire, and the Shadow Cavalry Empire had had a military training exchange. This sort of exchange was to use the Empire's most powerful army to engage in a battle.

On the surface, it seemed like an exchange, but in reality, it was a test to see how the situation stood. This confrontation was no different from real combat. Killing and bleeding existed.

Of course, the scale of this war was rather small, with only around five thousand people on each side. Although this was not a battle between three countries, the nature of the battle was related to the prestige of the country. If they were to lose, what they would lose would be the face of the Empire, and what they would lose would be the face of a sovereign.

"Yan'Er, you should know that our Yue Lan Empire is one of the three great empires. However, when it comes to rankings, we are behind the Great Seal and the Dark Knight." If we don't get into a good fight in this military exchange, I'm afraid that we will be bullied by these two countries in the future. " Qiao Hongyu revealed the crux of the matter.

Qiao Feiyan had been born and bred in the Imperial Family. She naturally understood the importance of this battle.

"Father, don't worry too much. Our country's army is not that bad! If they fight, they might even lose! "

"Yan'Er, you still don't know!" Qiao Hongyu shook his head, his tone filled with helplessness, "Two months ago, our Yue Lan Empire and the Black Knight Empire had already started fighting."

"And the result?" lost? "

"He lost, and it was a complete and utter loss. Even Great General Zhao Bo almost died on the battlefield, his lungs were pierced by an arrow, and he is still in the midst of recuperating. "

Without waiting for her to speak, Qiao Hongyu continued, "And one month ago, the Black Knight Empire and the Grand Seal Empire were also fighting."

"Who won? The Dark Knight Empire? "

"No." Qiao Hongyu's gaze slightly darkened, and his tone also became a little colder. Grand Seal Empire won. This time, it was the Shadow Cavalry Empire's army that suffered a crushing defeat and returning. The forward general also died in battle. "

What? Qiao Feiyan's beautiful face was filled with shock, Grand Seal Empire was actually this strong? Then the last battle would be between Yue Lan Empire. No wonder Qiao Hongyu was so worried. If he could not even defeat the Black Knight Empire, encountering the Grand Seal Empire would be equivalent to seeking death.

"Father, is the Grand Seal Empire's army that strong?" Qiao Feiyan still didn't dare believe it.

"I saw it with my own eyes. The Grand Seal Empire sent out two armies, one named 'Silver Leopard', with almost four thousand people. And the other one was called 'Murderers'. There were only 1,000 of them. However, these one thousand people, they were all criminals brought out from the prison and have extremely vicious combat abilities. "

The training of the condemned on death row into a regular army really made Qiao Feiyan astonished. That Grand Seal Empire really can do anything.

"Father, who do you plan on sending to lead the battle between us and the Grand Seal Empire?"

"Xi Shaocheng." Qiao Hongyu replied.

"Xi Shaocheng?" Qiao Feiyan was a little surprised, then shook her head, and said, "General Xi, is it not really appropriate? Why don't you let his father, General Xi Long, fight? "

"General Xi Long is already old, and is not a suitable candidate. Furthermore, General Zhao Bo has not recovered from his injuries, so the only person who can shoulder such a heavy responsibility is Xi Shaocheng. "

Qiao Hongyu still valued Xi Shaocheng a lot, and this was partly because he was a member of the family of generals. The most important thing was still the fact that Xi Shaocheng was young and rarely accomplished, which made him seem like a great general.

"Alright, Yan'Er, this is it." royal father has already resolved it, so there's no need to trouble you with it. " Qiao Hongyu's face once again revealed a gentle and loving expression. Qiao Feiyan's return, had truly improved his mood by quite a bit.

Qiao Feiyan nodded, and pursed her lips into a smile. Oh right, Father, there's something else I want to tell you. "Yan'Er has someone she likes now."

"Really?" Qiao Hongyu's eyes lit up as he asked full of anticipation, "Whose kid is it that has such good fortune? is able to move this empress' precious daughter? "

Qiao Feiyan's beautiful face flushed red and she replied a little bashfully, "She was someone I met in Blue City of Grand Seal Empire before. She was also a student of the Five Palace School. He came with me today! "

Someone from the Grand Seal Empire? Qiao Hongyu could not help but frown, the pleasant surprise on his face gradually disappeared, and was replaced with indescribable worry and worry.

"Royal father, what's wrong? Don't you like him? "

"It's not that royal father doesn't like it, in fact, as long as it's someone you like, Royal Father won't oppose it. "But, Yan'Er." Qiao Hongyu looked at him seriously, he looked like he wanted to say something, but did not know where to start.

Qiao Feiyan could immediately tell what the other party was thinking. Her red lips slightly parted as she said softly, "Father, are you saying that this body does not belong to me alone? "I never thought about how she would feel, I just chose to be with that person."

"Yan'Er." "Qiao Hongyu interrupted the other party, the worry in his eyes becoming increasingly stronger. Sigh! royal father has let you two down, and I am unable to even give you a complete set of normal conditions. "

Qiao Hongyu's heart instantly became heavy, and the scenes that happened in the past few years couldn't help but appear faintly in his mind.

"Father, who do you love the most?" It was a cute two to three year old girl who was coquettishly drilling into the arms of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face was filled with a deep love and pampering. "Hehe, of course the one father loves the most is Yan'Er."

"Yes, Yan'Er also likes father the most." The little girl said in a delicate voice. Such a warm scene. However, in the next moment, the little girl suddenly pushed the middle-aged man away, revealing a cold expression on her young and cute face.

The middle-aged man was shocked by the sudden change, not knowing what to do, "Yan'Er, what happened to you?"

The little girl's gaze was cold, as if she had suddenly become a different person. The middle-aged man wanted to hug her, but she kept backing away. The middle-aged man finally managed to hug her, but the little girl struggled to push him away.

That year, Qiao Hongyu only thought that his daughter was sick or something, but he had invited many famous doctors to diagnose her, and in the end, he did not get a clear answer. Because of this, Qiao Hongyu released various expensive rewards, but to no avail.

Until one day, an old fortune-teller came to Yue Lan Empire and said, "I will measure your blessings and calculate your destiny." His signboard was swaying in the capital.

If it was in normal times, ordinary people would think of him as a troll who swindled money and swindled wealth. A civil servant invited the old man into the palace with the intention to give it a try, recommending him to Qiao Hongyu.

"My king, I have already figured out the situation with the little princess. Please allow me to speak with you." The old fortune-teller spoke with a hint of surprise.

Qiao Hongyu, the fortune-teller and the little princess were alone in the royal study room.

The fortune-teller said seriously, "This girl is called Heaven's End. She has two souls. The two women had different personalities. Each of them had controlled their body for half a year. She is also the pride and envy of the heavens. "

After saying this, the fortune-teller left. He even refused the reward.

Qiao Hongyu looked at the cold and indifferent Little Princess, feeling both heartache and helplessness. "No matter what, you are still my daughter. Your name is Qiao Feilin! "

It was just as the fortune-telling old man had said, every six months ever since then. Qiao Feiyan and Qiao Feilin would experience a soul transformation.

One was gentle, like a clear pond or a lake. One was as cold as ice and as repellent as a thousand miles.

Qiao Hongyu naturally treated the obedient and charming Qiao Feiyan as someone who was close to her heart, and as for Qiao Feilin who was covered with thorns like an immortal ball, more or less, had no way of handling it.

The fact that the Imperial Princess was a Heavenly Jue daughter was naturally kept a secret. Everyone thought that Qiao Feiyan was the only princess in the Empire. When Qiao Feilin controlled her body, she basically would not appear in front of anyone else. From young, the only one who accompanied Qiao Feilin was Monte. Because Qiao Hongyu did not like this daughter of her.

However, one time, Qiao Hongyu was too tired from writing the memorial service and fell asleep on the table. When he woke up, he found that he was wearing a piece of clothing, and there was a cup of hot tea on the table.

When he found out from the guard at the door that Qiao Feilin had come over, the eyes of the ruler of a nation couldn't help but turn red. His heart was filled with guilt and debt.

From then on, Qiao Hongyu secretly swore that whether it was Qiao Feiyan or Qiao Feilin, they were both his daughters. He would never give up on any of them.

The atmosphere in the royal study was a little quiet. Qiao Hongyu receded from his memories, and casually wiped some moisture from the corner of his eyes. He turned and looked at Qiao Feiyan.

"Yan'Er, father has let you down. Father didn't know what to do either. Once the battle between us and the Grand Seal Empire is over, I will think of all sorts of ways to seek for the help of the experts of the world. At that time, there will definitely be two ways. "

Qiao Feiyan clenched her jade hands slightly, her emotions did not fluctuate at all. If there was a way, she wouldn't have waited until today. Her beautiful eyes raised as she looked at Qiao Hongyu earnestly.

"Father, what if I say that Ferlin likes him too?"

"What?" Qiao Hongyu's heart tensed up, and his face changed.

At the same time, Han Chen and Yan Wu had long properly settled down. Because Monte had other things to do, two maids were left behind to greet Han Chen and Yue Yang.

The imperial garden was filled with all sorts of precious flowers. The colorful and famous flowers competed with each other to form a beautiful scene.

Han Chen was not interested in admiring the flowers, he sat alone in the pavilion. On the contrary, Yan Wu was quite interested in it. His ruby eyes moved gently and a faint smile hung from the corner of his mouth.

"This woman is quite charming when she's quiet." Han Chen softly muttered as he dragged his chin with one hand.

Under the gentle sunlight, Yan Wu's fiery-red hair looked particularly gorgeous. Her fair skin seemed to have congealed into snow, and her delicate face revealed a bewitching beauty.

Han Chen then turned his gaze back to the garden, where a few colorful butterflies were flapping their wings as they chased each other, playing around like naughty children.

Butterfly?

Han Chen's heart suddenly trembled, as though a bright light had flashed past in the night. His pitch-black pupils suddenly became deep. Everything around him was excluded, and only a butterfly remained in his line of sight. The butterfly flapped its wings gently, retracting and releasing. Its rhythm changed from fast to extremely slow.

Butterfly. Person. Magical beast.

These words popped out from Han Chen's mind, his throat was rolling slightly as he muttered to himself, "Why do I have to be an android? Isn't artificial beasts okay? "

Man-made men take human blood essence. Then, could he create a demon beast's body, and then use the beast's blood essence to activate it, creating an artificial beast?

Just as Han Chen was thinking, something unexpected happened. An intense wave of energy fluctuations suddenly came from within Han Chen's body. On the surface of his body, there was a layer of strange black light that looked like a set of clothes made of yarn.

"What's going on?" Han Chen was shocked, his thoughts quickly returned to reality.

Yan Wu, who was admiring the flower, slightly shivered. When she turned around, her beautiful eyes were filled with dense coldness.

The black light around Han Chen became more and more intense, scaring the two maids not too far away. They stood on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Dense black light converged on his right arm. It seemed as if there was a ball of energy hidden inside his arm that could explode at any time.

"It's Little Black." Han Chen's eyes lit up, and immediately pulled up his sleeves. He saw a pair of wavy pupils under his shoulder, faintly flowing with a strange silver light.

It really is Xiao Hei, Han Chen was overjoyed. It had been more than four months. Back then, when they fought in the Wan Chao City, the Netherworld Spirit Demon Xiao Hei helped Han Chen in a bloody battle. After that, he was heavily injured by Silver Sky Palace's Han Wei, causing Han Chen to fall into silence. Now, after such a long time had passed, there was finally movement. How could Han Chen not be happy?

"Yiya!" Accompanied by a familiar voice, a bright white light flashed. Han Chen felt something fly out from his arm. A fluffy little black ball circled a few times in the air, and immediately, under the astonished gazes of the surrounding people, it stretched out its short limbs, and a pair of bat-like wings spread out from its back.

"Little Black, you're finally awake." Han Chen's face was filled with unconcealable excitement.

"Yiyayaya, Han, Han Chen."

"Eh?" You can talk? " Han Chen was shocked. It seemed like Xiao Hei only knew how to say 'babble' in the past. However, he saw Xiaohei's big round eyes widened. Whoosh! With a flash, it landed on Han Chen's shoulder.

"Cool, Han Chen. "I've arrived. I'm in the middle of my growth."

Blacky's words were clearly a bit slurred, as if it was a child that had just learned how to speak. Her voice was childish, both comical and extremely cute.

Han Chen now understood that the Netherworld Spirit Demons were similar to humans, they had a period of growth. Before, it had been the equivalent of a human infant, but now it was more or less a child. Of course, this was just a metaphor. The growth cycle of humans and demons was not completely comparable.

"Wait, wait. There is the aura of a devil." Blacky suddenly scuttled over, and immediately noticed Yan Wu, who was not far away. Her black pupils immediately turned corrugated, and she let out a low growl from her throat.

Yan Wu's face also turned cold, "Last time was a little thing like you messing up my plans."

"Oh, so it's you. I was wondering why it felt so familiar." Little Black rushed towards Yan Wu, disregarding everything else. The lines in his eyes slowly twisted.

"Little Black, stop." Han Chen's figure moved, and blocked the path between the two parties. Little Black, don't be hasty. Yan Wu is no longer the same as before. "

Blacky steadied itself, but the wariness in its eyes did not diminish at all. "Right now, it can clearly express its feelings, and its voice is filled with seriousness." Han Chen, you actually brought a demon by your side, you, if you do this, sooner or later you will cause your own death. "

"Hmph, what about you?" Yan Wu sneered, and replied disdainfully: "Could it be that you demons are kind people? With the degree of brutality that you have displayed, I'm afraid you demons are no worse than us! "

"What a joke. You, you're not a good person. A good thing."

It seemed like it was going to be a little difficult for Little Black to organize a complete sentence. Han Chen furrowed his brows, his gaze sweeping across the two female servants who were not far away with confused expressions, and then, he lowered his voice and said, "Alright, don't fight either of you. Xiao Hei, Yan Wu isn't what you think she is. She and I have been together for almost four months and she has not harmed me. "

Seeing how determined Han Chen was, Xiao Hei's tensed up mood relaxed a little. On the other hand, the coldness on Yan Wu's face had not faded. She was still thinking about the incident at the Thunder Elemental Lion's cave at the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.

Han Chen secretly shook his head, he was afraid that the grudge between the Demon and Demon races, would not be resolved so easily. To be honest, if it were not for Xiao Hei, Han Chen would have already lost his life in Yan Wu's hands. Therefore, the relationship between the three factions seemed to be a little chaotic.

Han Chen immediately let the two maids leave, and then began to mediate the conflict between Little Black and Yan Wu.

After expending a lot of saliva, Yan Wu's mood still did not loosen in the slightest. Her beautiful eyes stared coldly at Han Chen, "Have you said enough? "Who do you think you are to me? Why should I listen to you?"

With that, Yan Wu turned and left the garden, minding her own business and headed back to her previously arranged residence.

"Look, look!" Speak, she is not a good person. " Xiaohei said in dissatisfaction.

Han Chen shook his head, "Forget it, don't say anymore."

No matter what, Little Black's return was still an extremely happy thing for Han Chen. Blacky was about the same size as before, but its aura was much stronger.

"Little Black, what's your strength now?" I can't even see through you. " Han Chen asked.

"Yiya!" Blacky immediately became extremely excited as it circled in the air, "Its morphogenesis is at the eighth level."

Eight levels? Han Chen was shocked, his face was full of astonishment. Isn't that a bit too fast? "

"Yiyayaya." We demons are like this! In the early stages, your strength will increase very quickly, and later on you will be able to train even more slowly. "

"So that's how it is."

The tens of thousands of worlds, the large races all had their own ways of survival. Humans, demons, demons, beasts, and other types of beings were all different. Han Chen could not help but be secretly amazed at the creator of this world's magic.

"Han Chen, what is this place? Is he still in Wan Chao City? " Blacky asked.

Han Chen shook his head, and laughed: "No, later on you will meet someone you know!"

"Familiar? "Who is it!?"

As they were talking, the voices of two maids suddenly sounded from the entrance of the garden. "Greetings, your Highness."

"Mn, no need to be so courteous, is Han Chen in there?"

"Reporting to the princess, she's inside."

Immediately after, Qiao Feiyan's beautiful figure appeared in Han Chen's line of sight, but when Xiao Hei saw that it was Qiao Feiyan, her round eyes lit up and she couldn't help but blurt out.

"It's the great beauty Miss Yan Fei."

"Hmm?" Qiao Feiyan could not help but be taken aback, surprise gushing out of her beautiful face.

Little Black was just like the first time it saw Qiao Feiyan, shy like a child. Its two short little claws were placed in front of it, and it continuously rubbed them on Han Chen's body.

"Fei Yan, Little Black just woke up." Han Chen stepped forward and explained.

Surprised, Qiao Feiyan regained her senses. Previously, when she was in the sect grounds of the Five Palace, Han Chen had told her about the battle in the Wan Chao City and the matter of Little Black being heavily injured and attaching itself to his body. She already knew that Xiao Hei was the Netherworld Spirit Demon.

"It didn't seem to know how to talk before!" Qiao Feiyan looked at Xiao Hei in surprise.

Xiao Hei lied on top of Han Chen's shoulder and replied childishly, "Because, when I see the beauty Fei Yan, I, I can speak."

Qiao Feiyan was amused, she covered her mouth and chuckled: "You really know how to talk, you must have learned it from someone again right?"

Han Chen also shook his head with a smile, "This is none of my business. When you were here just now, it almost started fighting with Yan Wu. "

"Oh? Is that so? "Why is that?"
