Dragon's Origin

Chapter 645: Sea Monster (Part 1)

Evidently, after the incident in Dai Country, all nations significantly strengthened the defenses of their respective royal palaces. Song Country was no exception, at least that's what Wang Sheng and the old Taoist could clearly see from the air.

The flying demon beasts they were controlling were flying at an altitude of five thousand meters. Wang Sheng could see everything through his scope, but the people below could only see a few black dots in the sky, unable to discern anything else. The lack of sound provided excellent concealment.

The power of flying demon beasts lies in this; if they don't descend, others simply cannot detect them. Experts capable of sensing auras from ten miles away are practically nonexistent. This is why various countries were constantly being suppressed by the Shan Yue region.

"Old Taoist, help me create a diversion tonight," Wang Sheng said, knowing that he definitely couldn't enter the Song royal palace openly during the day, leaving him with only the night as an option. Song Yan certainly wouldn't want people to know about her intimate relationship with Wang Sheng, so Wang Sheng wouldn't expose himself. That left only sneaking in.

Ling Xu Old Taoist had no objections; it wasn't a big problem for him.

Around 11 PM, a corner of the Song royal palace, which had been quiet for some time, suddenly burst into flames. The palace guards were immediately alerted, and countless people rushed towards the fire.

Of course, more people became vigilant and immediately concentrated around Song Hongde and Song Yan to protect their safety. Within the Song royal palace, no one was more noble or important than these two. In a short while, they had moved from their respective sleeping quarters to a safer location.

After another half-incense stick of time, the alarm was lifted. It turned out to be a kitchen that had caught fire for some reason, but it was quickly extinguished. Besides causing a commotion, there were no casualties, only the loss of half a kitchen.

After half an hour of commotion, the royal palace finally quieted down again. All the guards returned to their original positions, each performing their duties. Song Hongde and Song Yan also returned to their respective sleeping quarters.

"Really, they don't even find out what's going on before alarming the Miss," outside the sleeping quarters, a group of female guards responsible for Song Yan's personal protection vigilantly watched the surroundings while escorting Song Yan back to her room. One of the guards kept complaining.

"Better safe than sorry," Song Yan said with a smile, comforting the guard. These female guards were the ones Song Yan trusted absolutely. Even when Wang Sheng and Song Yan had secret meetings in the capital, they were responsible for keeping watch around them, knowing many of Song Yan's secrets.

Familiar with opening the door to the sleeping quarters and not sensing any unfamiliar aura, the women safely escorted Song Yan back inside. One guard familiar with the routine tidied up Song Yan's bed, intending to serve Song Yan as she rested.

Just then, Song Yan suddenly stared straight ahead in one direction, a look of indescribable emotion on her face, as if she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

The guards were shocked, thinking that Song Yan had been startled. One clever guard followed Song Yan's gaze in that direction, but didn't notice anything unusual. Just as she was about to turn back to ask, she suddenly realized something and abruptly turned her head back.

In that direction, on an embroidered table against the wall, there was an extra red sphere. The female guard remembered clearly that when they left, there was nothing on the table. When did a red sphere appear? Who brought it in?

"Don't make a sound," Song Yan said softly, as if she had controlled her emotions, ordering the guards.

Everyone didn't know what was happening, but they all nodded, not making a sound, and looked at Song Yan.

Song Yan didn't look at everyone, only at the red sphere, with deep affection.

"Do you like it?" a male voice that almost made the women's souls fly away came from not far behind Song Yan, scaring the female guards so much that they turned around abruptly, all drawing their weapons and pointing them in that direction. Fortunately, they still remembered Song Yan's order and didn't make a sound.

Wang Sheng's figure stood there, illuminated by the candlelight in the sleeping quarters, very conspicuous.

The moment they saw Wang Sheng, the female guards immediately knew why Song Yan had told everyone not to make a sound. They were the personal guards who had followed Song Yan to the capital and naturally knew about the relationship between Song Yan and Wang Sheng. Of course, they also instantly understood that the earlier disturbances were not accidents, but were intentionally caused by Wang Sheng.

"Greetings, Master!" The female guards exchanged glances, tacitly bowed to Wang Sheng, and then left the sleeping quarters with smiles, closing the door behind them.

Wang Sheng took a few steps forward, reached out and hugged Song Yan, who was standing there staring blankly at the concentric knot, and asked softly, "Do you like it?"

Song Yan hadn't turned around from the beginning until now. Hearing the voice she had been thinking about day and night, leaning into the warm embrace, and smelling the familiar scent, Song Yan's body almost instantly softened. If Wang Sheng hadn't been holding her, she might have collapsed on the spot.

But how could Wang Sheng let Song Yan collapse? He bent down, scooped up Song Yan's legs, carried her horizontally, walked to the bed, and gently put Song Yan down.

Before Wang Sheng could straighten up, Song Yan pulled him down involuntarily. Song Yan's pair of jade arms directly wrapped around Wang Sheng's neck, and her delicate red lips directly covered Wang Sheng's lips.

The heavens and earth ignited, there were no outsiders here, and Wang Sheng and Song Yan instantly became husband and wife again. Song Yan seemed very happy today, but strangely, she didn't put on the face of a queen in her own royal palace, but instead cooperated very gently with Wang Sheng, as if Wang Sheng was the master of the Song royal palace, and Song Yan was just Wang Sheng's wife.

After the rain and clouds, Song Yan obediently leaned in Wang Sheng's arms and asked about Wang Sheng's intentions.

Sending the concentric knot was definitely just one of the purposes, otherwise Wang Sheng wouldn't have easily left the capital. Something must have happened in the capital to make Wang Sheng leave.

"No, I just came to send the concentric knot," Wang Sheng smiled, turned his head and kissed Song Yan's forehead: "I made several concentric knots in a row, I'm a little tired, and I don't want to stay in the capital and be bothered, so I came out for a walk. You also know how many people want that complete map now, and I don't know how many people come to my door every day."

Originally, Song Yan didn't believe that Wang Sheng was just coming out to send the concentric knot, but after hearing the words behind, Song Yan believed it. Not to mention others, even Song Yan herself wanted to ask Wang Sheng for that map, but she just couldn't bring herself to ask. Now that Wang Sheng said so, Song Yan simply cancelled her plan to ask.

"Don't rush, be prepared," Wang Sheng could feel the changes in Song Yan's body and reminded her softly: "The secret of the Thousand Absolute Land is not that simple."
