Chapter 704: Chapter 708: Reviving the Vermilion Bird Clan
Direct bloodline. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
So that’s it.
No wonder when she had suggested that mermaid beastmen and Taoyuan beastmen interact and intermarry, Hai Qin had such a strong response.
They would rather the mermaid clan have no cubs at all than concede. It was very likely because of the direct bloodline matter.
When these things were connected, many things that Su Tang didn’t understand before were now clear.
The feeling was utterly thrilling!
This piece of news only gave them a slight surprise and couldn’t halt their steps.
Gaiyin nodded to Maya, "Thank you madam for informing us. We will be leaving now."
Anxiety swept over Baique’s face. It looked like he wanted to say something else, but Maya stopped him.
When Gaiyin and the others reached the door, Maya suddenly raised her voice, "The antidote is only enough for a single day. Think it over and come to me whenever you’re ready. I will be waiting for you here."
Unfortunately, the three of them did not halt their steps and continued walking forward without looking back.
Once they left, Baique reluctantly said, "Mum, they were clearly wavering. Why didn’t we try to persuade them further?"
Maya walked to the window, looking at their retreating figures with a subtle smirk, "What’s the rush? I would be worried if they agreed right away. Let them ponder, they won’t reject me, considering they don’t have much time left."
Baique exhaled a sigh and looked up with a grin, "Then let’s celebrate in advance Mum, for annihilating the Ten Thousands Beast Country and reviving the Vermilion Bird Clan!"
A hint of a smile also crossed Maya’s face. She clenched her fists on the window sill, and a plume of black smoke floated out from her fingers, though it seemed she didn’t notice.
"It’s almost time. After they kill the emperor, no one can control me anymore. None of them here will be any match for me."
Flames suddenly ignited on the wooden window frame. Maya glanced at it calmly, then the flames vanished, leaving only a charred handprint.
······
When Gaiyin and the others returned home, they found that Xi and the others had arrived first.
Qiu Mo ran up to Su Tang and pulled a face, "Tangtang, where did you guys go? We have been looking for you for a long time."
Though Qiu Mo was half a head taller than Su Tang, he always tried to nestle against her like a little bird.
A smile danced in Su Tang’s eyes as she patted Qiu Mo’s head.
Gaiyin shot Qiu Mo a glance out of the blue and said coldly, "We’ll talk inside."
Sensing that something was off, Yadang took the initiative to ask, "What happened?"
Xi’en was the last one in. He looked around cautiously before closing the door firmly.
Gaiyin put the antidote that Maya gave him on the table and said ambiguously, "The king has poisoned us."
"What?!"
Both Xi and Yadang were surprised.
Xi was the first to recover, his face full of anger. "I knew they were up to no good. They never mentioned poisoning my father, and now they are poisoning us. I’ve never seen such shameless beastmen!"
Yadang raised an eyebrow and burst into laughter. "I was wondering, they treated us so well, how could they not take any precautions? Worthy of a king, ruthless indeed!"
Qiu Mo looked at the small beast skin bag on the table and asked in a low voice, "What is this? Poison?"
"No, it’s the antidote."
Su Tang sighed and recounted everything that had happened during their encounter with Maya.
