Chapter 361: Chapter 266 Return to Shattered Star Sea
“Don’t eat it!”
She snatched the rabbit leg from his hand, and seeing her grandson frightened almost to tears, her expression softened as she spoke gently, “Qi’er, be obedient. You are at a critical stage in your Bone and Marrow Replacement; you mustn’t touch any meat or fish.
After you turn three, even if you want to eat dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, grandma will bring it for you. Let’s not consume this meat now. Be a good boy!”
Zhao Sheng stood up awkwardly, “My lady, how did you get here! Are all the matters handled?”
Dong Miaozhen couldn’t contain her irritation, “Husband, how many times have I told you! Qi’er must not eat carelessly, or his previous efforts will be in vain. How are you even grandfathering? You’re even worse than his parents.”
“My lady, I admit my fault! Qi’er kept saying he was hungry, so I thought… just once might not hurt!”
...
“If Qi’er is hungry, he can take Qi Blood Pill, Spiritual Milk, and Jade Liquid. How can he eat such filthy meat? Don’t you know that the sooner a solid foundation is established, the smoother his cultivation will be?”
At that moment, Zhao Xiuqi suddenly hugged Dong Miaozhen’s leg, looking up at his angry grandmother and said earnestly, “Grandma, don’t blame grandpa. Qi’er won’t eat it.”
“Good, that’s the dragon seed of our family!” Dong Miaozhen lifted her grandson, her face full of smiles as she praised him.
Seeing the atmosphere turn harmonious, the maids standing outside the pavilion breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, a whistling sound of flapping wings suddenly filled the air and a golden-clawed, red-eyed eagle with pristine white feathers swooped down from the sky into the pavilion, circling Dong Miaozhen continuously.
Pfft!
The Spiritual Eagle opened its beak and forcefully spat out a glowing white Jade Scroll.
Dong Miaozhen caught the Jade Scroll and instantly tossed out a Demon Spirit Pill.
The Spiritual Eagle flapped its wings swiftly, swallowed the Spirit Pill with one gulp, and then transformed into a streak of white light, dashing out of the stone pavilion and soaring into the sky.
After reading the Jade Scroll, Dong Miaozhen silently passed it to her husband.
“Xiong’er has caused trouble again, take care of it. I’m taking our grandson back home.”
Leaving those words behind, Dong Miaozhen carried her grandson and left with the maids.
Zhao Sheng raised an eyebrow, his Divine Sense instantly delved into the Jade Scroll, and countless pieces of information surged through his mind.
“…Yuye Ancestor engaged the Great Demon King Huan Niang at Star Peak, destroying hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, with casualties exceeding a hundred thousand. The direct descendant of the ancestor, Wu Yi, has been captured by Huan Niang and his whereabouts are unknown.”
“…Something is stirring in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, a demon wave seems to be brewing… The source might be a Demon King upgrading…”
“… It’s likely that Zhe Bei Zi of the Elixir Cauldron Sect has advanced to False Infant…”
“… In the Southern Border workshop, the exchange prices of Spirit Pills, Magic Artifacts, and talismans generally have risen, and the major sect powers seem to be hoarding resources… the average auction price of Foundation Establishment Pill has reached forty thousand…”
“… A month ago, an upheaval occurred in Pocket World City, resulting in the fall of two Golden Core Masters… the area above the fourth layer of the Cloud Sea at Heavenly Pillar Mountain has been temporarily sealed by the Sect Alliance…”
“…Heavenly Burial Plain… The progress on the Great Wall is going well… A Flying Sky Netherworld King has been spotted deep within the Heavenly Burial Plain…”
…
“…Ten days ago, the Young Master and his wife caused a disturbance at the Ba Mountain Sect’s gates, and were subsequently detained by the Ba Mountain Sect, though they are currently unharmed…”
As he reached the last piece of information, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but frown.
His son Zhao Huaying and daughter-in-law Zu Xiaoyue indeed made a pair destined by nature, none of them were calm characters.
Mere representatives sent by him to the Ba Mountain Sect, bearing a congratulatory gift, managed to provoke not a small mess.
“No choice, who made him the father. Even if it costs him his old face, he must clean up after these two.”
After sighing softly, Zhao Sheng produced a blank Jade Scroll and infused a message inside with his Divine Sense.
Then he called out coldly, “Someone!”
Before the words fell, a person wearing a Taotie mask appeared in all black, kneeling on one knee outside the pavilion: “Master!”
Zhao Sheng took out a Haoyang Jade Token from his waist, along with the Jade Scroll, and flicked them out, commanding, “Take my token and this Jade Scroll, deliver them to Sect Leader Hao of the Ba Mountain Sect. Then ensure the Young Master and his wife are safely escorted back.”
The Taotie secret agent took the Jade Token and Jade Scroll with both hands, bowing deeply: “I obey the decree, I take my leave!”
With those words, the figure in black transformed into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
Ever since his advancement to Golden Core, the significant power of the Xinglong Zhao family had undoubtedly fallen into Zhao Sheng’s hands.
Although he was indifferent to power, such matters were inevitable and not subject to personal will.

The will of the entire Zhao family was with him; as a Golden Core Master, he couldn’t possibly remain detached from worldly affairs.
Zhao Sheng delegated most of the authority, retaining direct control only over the Dark Department, treasury, and the Dragon Carp Academy, among other critical departments.
Even throughout the entire Southern Border, a Golden Core Master was a force to be reckoned with.
Although the Ba Mountain Sect had an old Golden Core presiding over it, this person was actually a False Infant who had recently celebrated his four-hundred-eightieth birthday, nearing the end of his life.
This second-tier sect, on the decline, would definitely not dare to offend the Xinglong Zhao family, let alone provoke the awe of Master Zhao.
As long as the trouble caused by his son wasn’t too severe, the token sent by him would be sufficient to settle the matter.
As everyone knows, a token equals a favor.
A favor from a Golden Core Master is not a small matter, and the Ba Mountain Sect would count this as a blessing in disguise.
…
Half a month later, just as Zhao Huaying and his wife returned to Xinglong City, they were both confined by their parents.
It wasn’t until their son’s second birthday that the young couple was allowed to go out.
In just two years, Xinglong City had become increasingly prosperous, and the spirits of the Zhao Clan members had changed, becoming more confident and proud.
