Chapter 432: A Scumbag Should Be Punished

Kong Qing cried for a long time before venting his resentment.

Lin Jiansheng waited for Kong Qing to calm down before carrying him back to their bed. Kong Qing was already an adult, but he still insisted on sleeping on the same bed as Lin Jiansheng. Only with someone lying beside him did he feel at ease.

The father and son cuddled on the bed while Kong Qing curled up in Lin Jiansheng’s arms with his back facing him. Kong Qing’s sleeping posture was always like that of a fetus, and he could only fall asleep by curling up.

Lin Jiansheng patted Kong Qing’s arm gently and said, “You were the one behind Caro Zhengyang’s incident, right?”

Kong Qing sniffed and admitted it. “It’s me.” He grabbed Lin Jiansheng’s arm and said angrily, “You’re not allowed to interfere in this matter. Even if the Caro Clan comes looking for you, you’re not allowed to interfere in this matter.”

“Alright, I don’t care.” Ever since Lin Jiansheng heard Sheng Lingfeng mention that Caro Zhengyang had formed a Demon Fetus, he had suspected Kong Qing. Other than Kong Qing, Lin Jiansheng couldn’t think of anyone else who could cast an evil spell on Caro Zhengyang.

But the question was, how did Kong Qing cast the evil spell on Caro Zhengyang?

Caro Zhengyang was a Prime Emperor. How could he not sense the additional magic power in his body?

“Kong Qing, how did you manage to bewitch Caro Zhengyang so discreetly? His cultivation level is high, so why couldn’t he sense that your demonic aura had already entered his body?”

In the darkness, Kong Qing pursed his lips and revealed a somewhat evil smile. He told Lin Jiansheng, “As early as when the Caro Clan held the Prime Emperor banquet for Caro Zhengyang, when I shook hands with him, I injected my main body’s demonic aura into his body.”

After a pause, Kong Qing continued, “I’m his child. His bloodline flows in my body. My demonic aura can be detected by anyone in this world, but he won’t, because my demonic aura and me are a part of him.”

“I see…” Caro Zhengyang really had it coming.

“Then can he take out this Demon Fetus?”

Kong Qing shook his head. “No. There’s only one way for him to take out that Demon Fetus.” Kong Qing suddenly squeezed Lin Jiansheng’s hand tightly. He said, “Kill me, and the demonic aura in his body will naturally disappear.”

However, in this world, only Lin Jiansheng and Su Xuanye had the ability to kill Kong Qing.

Lin Jiansheng subconsciously hugged Kong Qing’s trembling body and said, “Daddy will always protect you. I won’t hurt you, nor will I let Su Xuanye hurt you.”

The evil smile on Kong Qing’s lips slowly turned gentle and innocent. “I believe you.”

Kong Qing turned around and burrowed into Lin Jiansheng’s arms. He grabbed the collar of Lin Jiansheng’s pajamas and said in a choked voice, “He has to experience all the pain that my mother has endured. This is only the beginning. The terrifying thing is yet to come.”

Originally, Kong Qing wanted to find Caro Zhengyang and kill all the people of the Caro Clan, just like how the ancient mermaid slaughtered the entire Merman Clan. However, he didn’t want to do that. If he killed Caro Zhengyang, it would be called revenge. If he killed the entire Caro Clan, it would be called slaughter.

His father didn’t like children who killed the innocent.

He wanted to be a good child.

Lin Jiansheng said, “Alright! I support you!”

Caro Zhengyang was indeed a jerk. He should be punished.

…

At this moment, the Caro Clan disciples and elders still didn’t know about Prime Emperor Zhengyang being possessed.

As the president of the Beast Tamer Alliance, Caro Zhengyang had three working assistants under his name. Caro Zhengyang hadn’t appeared to deal with the matters of the alliance for two weeks. The documents that he needed to look through had already piled up into a small hill.

The assistant piloted the helicopter and moved all the documents that Caro Zhengyang needed to handle to the floating island in the Divine Sea.

The assistant was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a dark blue tie around his neck. The assistant was a wandering cultivator with a Supreme Master cultivation level. His name was Fu Yu’an. He had worked for the Alliance for more than twenty years and had already assisted three Presidents.

The first president he had assisted was Yin Mingjue’s father, Yin Sikong. The second president was Sheng Lingfeng, and Caro Zhengyang was the third.

Therefore, although Fu Yu’an only had the cultivation of a Supreme Master, his status and authority in the Alliance Headquarters weren’t inferior to those vice presidents. If the President was compared to the Emperor, then Fu Yu’an was the Grand Tutor who assisted the Emperor.

Fu Yu’an alighted from the helicopter and was immediately respectfully invited to Caro’s small courtyard.

This was Fu Yu’an’s first time coming to an island in the sky. He couldn’t help but feel speechless and curious about the extravagance of the Caro Clan. He sized up the island with a shocked expression.

It was true that the Caro Clan was rich and powerful.

“Secretary Fu.” The chief steward brought Fu Yu’an into the magnificent banquet hall and invited him to sit on a pure leather sofa. As soon as Fu Yu’an sat down, the sofa under him spoke in human language and said, “Dear guest, do you need a massage mode?”

Fu Yu’an was shocked.

He stood up and turned to look down at the sofa. Only then did he realize that there was a pair of black beast eyes on the back of the sofa. “This is…?” After living for almost a hundred years, this was the first time Fu Yu’an had seen such a strange sofa.

Seeing that Fu Yu’an was frightened, the chief steward hurriedly explained, “Secretary Fu, don’t be afraid. The skin of this sofa is made of the skin of the Jade Beast. The nerves of the Jade Beast grow in the pores of its skin. The skin of the Jade Beast is delicate and is most suitable for making a sofa. After this kind of demon beast dies, its consciousness will exist with its skin. It has the ability to massage guests and automatically adjust the temperature of the sofa.”

“Secretary Fu, please sit for a moment. I’ll go get Prime Emperor Zhengyang.”

“… Okay.”

Fu Yu’an stared at those eyes. When he thought about how this skin was peeled off from a demon beast, he couldn’t bear to sit down.

Fu Yu’an simply stood there and waited for six to seven minutes. Then, he heard heavy footsteps of someone coming down the luxurious spiral staircase. Fu Yu’an’s hands immediately hung in front of him. He turned around and lowered his head in the direction of the stairs. “President, I heard that you’re not feeling well. Are you feeling better?”

Caro Zhengyang replied weakly, “I’m in good spirits.”

Although he said that he was in good spirits, Fu Yu’an felt that Caro Zhengyang wasn’t in a good state of mind. His voice sounded tired and weak.

Fu Yu’an looked up and was shocked to see Caro Zhengyang’s pale face.

With Prime Emperor Zhengyang’s current cultivation, what illness could torture him to this extent?

Beast Tamers like them wouldn’t catch a cold. If they were seriously ill with cancer, there were also high-level healers who could treat them. Prime Emperor Zhengyang’s cultivation level was high and his status was noble. If he was sick, as long as the news was released, the threshold of the Caro Clan would be filled with healers from everywhere.

Why was he so sick?

Caro Zhengyang pointed at the sofa and said, “Sit down. Let’s sit down and talk.”

Fu Yu’an sat down on the sofa uneasily.

The sofa probably sensed Fu Yu’an’s uneasiness, so it didn’t ask him if he needed a massage or to adjust the temperature of the sofa.

Caro Zhengyang leaned against the armchair sickly and looked at Fu Yu’an with narrowed eyes. He said, “I haven’t been to the Alliance for a long time. I must have accumulated a lot of documents to deal with. I heard that you brought all the documents over. I’ll get Zhong An to bring someone to get them.”

Fu Yu’an was indeed here to deliver the document, but seeing that Caro Zhengyang was sick and didn’t have much strength to speak, how could he be heartless enough to let him handle official business? Fu Yu’an thought for a while and said, “President, I see that you’re mentally exhausted and not suitable for work. Why don’t I bring the document back first and let you deal with it after you recover?”

Caro Zhengyang waved his hand and said, “The documents that need my approval aren’t small matters. They can’t be delayed.” Caro Zhengyang called out, “Zhong An.”

The main butler quickly bowed. “Prime Emperor, please speak.”

“Get someone to bring the documents over and put them in my study.”

“Okay.”

Caro Zhengyang then said to Fu Yu’an, “Secretary Fu, since you’re already here, stay for lunch before returning.”

As the chief secretary of the Alliance, Fu Yu’an was busy with work, so he naturally wouldn’t eat here. “There’s no need to stay to eat. I came this time because I have something to discuss with you.”

“Huh? What is it?”

Fu Yu’an said, “In the past week, all the major families on the Holy Spirit Continent have been investigating the traitors. Currently, a total of 2,165 members have been found to have submitted to the Blood Peacock Organization. More than 100 of them have been dealt with by their families. However, we have no idea how to deal with the remaining 2,005 traitors. Directly beheading them will also be a huge loss to our cultivation world. The vice presidents’ opinion is to detain them first. After the battle is over and the Blood Peacock dies, we will deal with them all. President, in your opinion, where should we imprison them?”

“That many?” Caro Zhengyang was clearly shocked by this number.

Fu Yu’an said, “These are only the traitors counted by the major families. There must be many members of the Blood Peacock Organization hidden among the itinerant cultivators.”

Caro Zhengyang’s expression turned cold. He thought about it and said, “The war is imminent. We definitely can’t let Su Xuanye save these people. Why don’t we lock them up in the Beast Tamer Prison? That’s the most heavily guarded place in the world. I believe Su Xuanye will be helpless even if he wants to save them.”

Fu Yu’an said, “The vice presidents have the same thoughts as you.” Indeed, the Beast Tamer Prison was the most heavily guarded place on the Holy Spirit Continent. It’s indeed a good idea to imprison these people in the Beast Tamer Prison.

“In order to prevent Su Xuanye from breaking into the prison to save people, I suggest letting the vice presidents take turns to guard the prison to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

“Okay.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before they saw Zhong An return with three to four people and a pile of documents.

Fu Yu’an noticed that Caro Zhengyang was in weak spirits and frowned. He stood up and bade farewell. Caro Zhengyang politely invited him to eat, but Fu Yu’an still rejected him firmly.

After Fu Yu’an left, Caro Zhengyang sneered. “This person is quite a fence-sitter.”

The chief steward stood beside Caro Zhengyang and said, “Apart from being famous for his level-headedness, Fu Yu’an has assisted three presidents and has never eaten at any of the presidents’ houses. He doesn’t take sides or make enemies.”

Caro Zhengyang sneered. “He’s just a dog of the Alliance!”

With that, Caro Zhengyang suddenly felt nauseous. He punched the sofa, got up, and ran to the toilet.

After vomiting, Caro Zhengyang walked out of the bathroom with a dark expression and cursed softly, “Damn it, did you send someone to invite Lin Jiansheng?!” Caro Zhengyang had always looked down on Purifying Spirit Masters and felt that Purifying Spirit Masters were trash who had failed to awaken their beast form.

Unexpectedly, one day, he would actually look forward to a Purifying Spirit Master saving him!

The steward didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. He only replied softly, “He went early in the morning.”

It had been half a day. Why wasn’t Lin Jiansheng here yet?

Caro Xiangfu was so useless!

…

Caro Xiangfu stood in front of Jingdu’s Purifying Spirit Academy. After waiting for a moment, he finally saw someone come.

However, the person was wearing an ordinary Purifying Spirit Master robe, not Lin Jiansheng’s purple robe.

Seeing this, Caro Xiangfu’s expression darkened.

What was Lin Jiansheng doing? Why wasn’t he willing to come and see her personally?

The person who came was a registered disciple of Lin Jiansheng. He was also a Level 7 Purifying Spirit Master called Huo Sanyang.

Caro Xiangfu recognized this person. The corners of his mouth twitched before he said, “Good afternoon. May I ask why your master, Saint Ling Xiao, didn’t come to see me?”

Huo Sanyang looked troubled. He said, “It’s not that my master refused to come to see you, but you really came at the wrong time. In the battle of the Eight Towers Mountain, due to the sacrifice of the souls of the Yin Clan, his cultivation level increased greatly, causing his psychic power to be unstable. In order to stabilize his cultivation level and strive to defeat Su Xuanye in the battle two months later, my master ran to Broken Cliff to enter seclusion early yesterday morning.”

“If he had known that Prime Emperor Zhengyang was possessed, he wouldn’t have gone.”

“If only you had come a day earlier.”

Caro Xiangfu looked at him suspiciously.

What a coincidence.
