Chapter 27: Worship
Lord Marquis, the Nord family has sent two giant Sun Elephants, the steward in Marquis Mansion reported to the Marquis of Lanling, who was grooming himself in front of a mirror.
Bang! The Marquis slammed his dressing table, and suddenly, the hard, fire-burnt wooden table and everything on it turned into dust.
Little brat of the Nord family, I will tear you apart limb from limb, the Marquis screamed, his face twisted in anger.
The steward shrank his neck in fear, then shouted in unison with the Marquis, Lord Marquis, Ill have someone slaughter those two giant Sun Elephants right away.
The Marquis had calmed down by now. He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands, pondering something. After a moment, he spoke again, Killing them would be a shame. Giant sun elephants are valuable fourth-order magical beasts, worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Keep them.
Yes, Lord Marquis, the steward received the order and quickly went out to have the two giant Sun Elephants brought into the mansion.
Hmph, a little kid whos still wet behind the ears. Trying to provoke me and make me the laughingstock of the capital. Youre still too green, the Marquis coldly snorted.
At this point, the Marquis thought of the burly man next to Qi Bei, his tough body, and twisted muscles, and the more he thought about it, the more uncontrollable his desire became.
The Marquis went to the bookshelf in the room and pressed a certain mechanism, causing the bookshelf to slide open on both sides.
A shocking scene appeared. Inside the bookshelf was an embedded rectangular metal cabinet, with a row of puppet-like burly men inside.
Xiao Liu. The Marquis gaze swept around and stopped on the sixth burly man, poking him in the forehead.
The mans closed eyes suddenly opened, a black light flashing across them, revealing a beast-like aggression. He growled in a low voice and pounced at the Marquis.
Then a scene followed that showed the strong emotional bond that was evident between them!
Nord Family Mansion, Qi Beis courtyard.
The stars were twinkling in the sky. Within the small but elegant courtyard, Feng Ruoyu supported her chin with her hand, her emerald green eyes sparkling, occasionally exclaiming.
Huan Ying sat quietly beside her, her beautiful eyes following Qi Beis pacing figure, her expression sometimes tense, sometimes relaxed.
Qi Bei walked back and forth in the courtyard, telling the thrilling story of his adventures in the Undead Mountain Range.
Okay, big brother will accompany you tomorrow. Huaian nodded.
The two brothers drank under the moon, reminiscing about the past and discussing the current situation as well as the hidden meanings behind certain actions.
Of course, it was Huaian who guided the conversation.
As one of the three commanders of the Black Armor Army and the legitimate heir of the Nord family, he had access to some deep secrets.
Qi Bei listened attentively, as he was about to go to his own fiefdom, West Spirit City, and what Huaian told him would be very useful.
Unknowingly, dawn had arrived and the stars disappeared.
Qi Beis mother was buried in the ancestral cemetery of the Nord family, located in the western suburbs of the imperial city. Only the legitimate heirs and wives of the Nord family could be buried there.
The mother of the two brothers was named Lilith and she was not a member of the Golden Leaf Dynasty. According to their father, she came from a distant country.
A lifelike portrait of Lilith was embedded on the tombstone. She was extremely beautiful with a clean and radiant smile, like the warm sun in early winter.
It could be seen that Qi Bei inherited more of his mothers features and was very handsome.
His older brother, Huaian, on the other hand, resembled their father with clear contours and a compelling aura.
At the moment when Qi Bei saw his mother Liliths portrait, his heart suddenly trembled. Even though they were separated by life and death, he could still feel the unbreakable blood relationship in his heart. This feeling was much stronger than when he saw his father, Raymond Nord.
After performing the ceremony, Qi Bei said to Huaian, Big brother, you can go report to the army camp first. I want to stay here for a while.
Huaian patted Qi Beis shoulder and left the cemetery.
Qi Bei leaned against his mothers tombstone and slowly closed his eyes. For some reason, he felt as if his mother was gently embracing him. This feeling was very warm and made him feel nostalgic.
In his past life, he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and he had to rely on himself. He didnt even know who his parents were.
But in this life, he had at least seen his mothers face.
Suddenly, the faint golden internal energy in Qi Beis dantian trembled. He felt as if he had been branded with a hot iron on his back, and the Dragon Seal in his left palm began to surge with golden light. Another kind of golden light appeared and the two merged together.
