Gradually Boiling Over

In front of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, two figures sat cross-legged.

These two figures were naturally Xiao Lin's Energy Body and the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun in human form.

"Speak, about my child!"

Zhukun asked, feigning calmness.

In fact, Zhukun had a million questions in his mind!

For example, how did Xiao Lin get in here?

How did the other person recognize me?

Also, what does the other party want to talk to me about?

In short, Zhukun had too many questions he wanted to clarify!

For some reason, the human in front of him, who was only Three-Star Dou Sheng, gave him the feeling that he had seen through everything about him, making him very uncomfortable!

For so many years, he had never experienced being seen through like this!

What's more, the one who saw through him was someone far less powerful than him!

From this, Zhukun could also deduce that the human in front of him was hiding many secrets.

If the other party didn't possess his child's Essence Blood and wasn't so cautious as to refuse to enter this Main Body, he would have already captured them and interrogated them!

Unfortunately, he can't do that now.

Therefore, Zhukun can only start by asking himself the question that matters most to him!

It's about his child!

After all, he had been trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave for thousands of years. What parent wouldn't care how their child was doing?

Even if Zhukun is a magical beast, the same applies!

"Senior Zhukun, you mean Zi Yan? She's doing very well now, she's happy every day, all she does is eat and play!"

Thinking of Zi Yan, Xiao Lin's face showed a doting smile.

"Is my child named Zi Yan now? It's a good name!"

At that moment, Zhukun's eyes suddenly narrowed.

As a father, he probably would still think it's a good name even if his daughter were named "Little Flower"...

Having spent thousands of years in this desolate space, upon hearing about his daughter's situation, Zhukun's heart felt as if a withered tree had come back to life, and all his gloomy mood vanished completely!

However, Zhukun then noticed Xiao Lin's "abnormal" expression.

"Speaking of which, young man, what is your relationship with my child? And how did you obtain his Essence Blood? It wasn't by force, was it?"

He opened his narrowed eyes, and a dangerous glint appeared in Zhukun gaze.

"As expected, he's another doting father!"

Seeing Zhukun's reaction, Xiao Lin couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?"

But Xiao Lin could not possibly say this directly.

"Well, I'm now one of Zi Yan's guardians. As for this drop of Essence Blood, I specifically asked Zi Yan for it so I could have a chat with you, senior."

On this point, Xiao Lin did not intend to deceive Zhukun.

Because it's unnecessary!

"Guardian? So, my child must trust you a lot?"

This time, Xiao Lin wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he sensed a hint of jealousy in Zhukun's tone.

Of course, at the same time, Xiao Lin also vaguely sensed that Zhukun's hostility towards him had lessened somewhat.

After all, in Zhukun's view, if the human in front of him was indeed his daughter's guardian during his absence, then it would be equivalent to having done him a favor.

If he treated his benefactor with the same attitude of wanting to arrest and torture him, he probably wouldn't even have the face to see his daughter afterwards!

Especially when he thought about how he had been separated from his daughter for thousands of years because he coveted the inheritance in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Zhukun felt even more guilty.

Therefore, when Zhukun learned that Xiao Lin was his daughter's guardian and that his daughter trusted him completely, he showed a mixture of jealousy and reduced hostility towards Xiao Lin.

"It's alright, Zi Yan is a very cute girl, and also very pitiful..."

Then, Xiao Lin began to recount Zi Yan's life from childhood to adulthood, embellishing the story.

This is also part of Xiao Lin's plan.

When Xiao Lin mentioned that Zi Yan didn't know who her parents were after birth, and that she was bullied by other magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest when she was young, and even didn't know what her Main Body was because she accidentally ate Transformation Grass, Zhukun turned slightly red.

"Bang"

"Good, very good! Once I get out of here, I will definitely raze that damned Magical Beast Forest to the ground!"

Zhukun slammed his fist into the massive plaza in front of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, he couldn't help but let out a roar.

From Xiao Lin's words, Zhukun could already glean some information about Zi Yan's situation.

Logically speaking, how could Zi Yan, being his own child, have been born as a low-level magical beast?

Moreover, Xiao Lin also described that Zi Yan loved to eat all kinds of Medicinal Pill and medicinal herbs since she was a child, which clearly indicates that she had a congenital developmental problem!

Furthermore, it doesn't even know what its own Main Body is, and it's estimated that it hasn't even inherited the legacy of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

Thinking about all of the above, Zhukun felt an overwhelming sense of self-reproach and anger!

"Hmm~, Senior Zhukun, are you able to get out?"

Just then, Xiao Lin very inopportunely poured cold water on Zhukun's plans.

This froze all the expressions that had flashed across his face.

Yes, getting out of here is a problem!

Thinking of this, Zhukun felt a deep sense of powerlessness again.

Although he possesses the cultivation of Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, he is the strongest person on the Dou Qi Continent when no Dou Emperor appears!

But he was trapped here, and there was nothing he could do!

"Oh, right, Senior Zhukun, I have another piece of information for you! Since you disappeared, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan has split up. All the older generation have entered the Void, while the middle generation has begun to compete for the position of Dragon Emperor."

Given Zi Yan's current situation, if the other Ancient Void Dragon who covet the Dragon Emperor's throne were to learn of his existence, Senior Zhukun, you must know very well what the consequences would be, right?

To be fair, Zi Yan in the Original Work novel was quite lucky in this respect.

The first Ancient Void Dragon to encounter her was Hei Qing from East Dragon Island, a direct descendant of Zhukun.

If the Ancient Void Dragon of the Other Three Great Dragon Islands had encountered Zi Yan first, the little girl might have already met her demise.

Therefore, Xiao Lin's words were a devastating blow to Zhukun!

"Boom"

"Damn it, they dare!"

Sure enough, if Zhukun was only slightly warm just now, his panic now even surpasses his anger!

A terrifying surge of Dou Qi erupted from Zhukun's body, nearly blowing Xiao Lin's Energy Body away.

Clearly, just by listening to Xiao Lin's description, Zhukun could already imagine the scene.

Since he was trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Zhukun had considered the possibility that the Ancient Void Dragon Clan might split up.

But this would threaten his daughter's safety, something he hadn't considered before.

Looking back now, it truly worried him greatly!
