Chapter 213: The Considerations of Zhu Huo

"Although I have already said it many times, I still wish to express my gratitude once more for the great kindness of Ice Saint."

Having just sent Zi Yan to Zhu Kun's side, Zhu Huo, who had returned to the surface, walked up to Xiao Han and bowed respectfully.

Zhu Huo felt that the experiences of this past year were like a dream. Not only had the Dragon Emperor's bloodline been found, but he had even met the Dragon Emperor himself.

If Zhu Huo had not been physically strong, he likely would have suffered cardiac arrest right then and there.

As for the source of all this, Zhu Huo had already upgraded the other party's status to that of the most intimate friend of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Although His Majesty the Dragon Emperor had already said he would repay the favor, in this world, some things cannot be cleared by a mere favor.

None of the three, including Zhu Kun, had ever thought otherwise.

For Zhu Kun, he had seen his child and learned the status of his clansmen.

And as for Zhu Huo, not only would the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan have a new Emperor, but he had also found his original idol, now the Emperor, and the revival of the clan was in sight.

To both of them, these things were priceless.

Xiao Han had helped them so much, and they were mere acquaintances; if there were no conditions attached, they would have been worried about whether he had some conspiracy waiting for them.

Xiao Han felt the same; at least this time, a preliminary relationship with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had been established, and it was with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan that still had Zhu Kun, and the connection was extremely stable. As long as he did not court death later on, the relationship between the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and Langya Pavilion would not be bad.

He would like to see how Hun Tiandi could still win in the later stages with his presence this time.

Moreover, he could completely ask Zhu Kun, who was acting as the temporary host, to make more preparations in front of the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion; that killing intent would be much stronger than the makeshift arrangements in the original story.

With a bit of luck, Hun Tiandi might not even be able to get his hands on the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.

Xiao Han even thought about teaming up with that Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill when the time came—a Medicinal Pill capable of taking on four, plus at least three Nine-Star Dou Sheng on his side; that would be seven against two!

It would be entirely possible to send Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame away for good.

After all, becoming a Dou Di does not necessarily require the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill; obtaining the Ancient God Inheritance is the same. As long as there is one Dou Di and the Origin Emperor Qi reappears, would the others be far behind?

It is just difficult to execute; among the Nine-Star Late Stage Dou Sheng of the Dou Qi Continent, one by one, who wouldn't have designs on that pill?

And the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill would not trust this group of howling intruders; cooperation could only be considered, but the chance of success was not high.

To facilitate this, unless Xiao Han's side had the power to crush other forces, they would at least need the combat strength of a Peak Dou Sheng.

But the hope was slim, unless Ancestor Xiao Xuan recovered to his prime.

Therefore, Xiao Han only let this thought pass through his mind; he would see how things went when the time came.

Subsequently, Xiao Han shifted his thoughts to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and looked back at Zhu Huo, "Now, what do you intend to do? Do you still plan to take that little girl back to Dragon Island?"

Zhu Huo hesitated. Although Zhu Kun was still alive, it was obvious that he could not lead the overall situation of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. As the Dragon Emperor's bloodline, Zi Yan was naturally the best candidate for the new Dragon Emperor.

Even Zhu Kun would likely not mind this point.

However, one point was very important: if one wanted Zi Yan to become a true Dragon Emperor, then taking her back to Dragon Island was certainly unavoidable.

Yet, if one wanted Zi Yan to receive the best cultivation, could there be anything more effective than being taught personally by the previous Dragon Emperor?

Although many inheritances of the Dragon Emperor lineage were mostly passed down through the bloodline and would be developed sooner or later as she grew, having someone to lead the way would undoubtedly greatly accelerate the process.

Seeing Zhu Huo fall into a dilemma, Xiao Han advised, "It is better for that little girl to stay here!"

Hearing Xiao Han's voice, Zhu Huo looked over expectantly, "What high opinion does Ice Saint have?"

Xiao Han hinted, "Now is a good time for them to improve their father-daughter relationship. Are you sure you want to interrupt like this?"

"This..." Zhu Huo was stunned. This statement seemed to have no flaws!

If Xiao Han hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have remembered that the Princess had indeed shown some resistance when she first met His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.

Zhu Huo thought it was normal; no matter who had grown up alone, suddenly having a father thrust upon them, even a biological one, would not be easy to accept!

Thinking again about what would happen if he interrupted His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's desire to make it up to his daughter, the consequences...

Zhu Huo shivered! Absolutely not!

Even if His Majesty the Dragon Emperor considered the big picture and did not hold him accountable, His Majesty was still His Majesty after all; what if he were to be given the cold shoulder one day...

Zhu Huo said submissively, "Ice Saint's words are reasonable. It is better for the Princess to stay here! I believe His Majesty will definitely cultivate the Princess into a qualified Dragon Emperor!"

Zhu Huo indicated that everything was not a problem; if there were difficulties, then he would overcome them!

Could their Dragon Island be lacking anything? Resources were just a matter of bringing a few more Storage Rings!

What's more, the real good stuff was in the hands of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor; now that his daughter had come, wouldn't he just lavish it on her!

Since he had made up his mind to leave Zi Yan here, he naturally had to make some arrangements.

Of course, Zhu Huo was not worried about Zi Yan's safety; there was no one in this world who could make a move against Zi Yan in front of Zhu Kun.

The biggest problem was this Jia Nan Academy, Zhu Huo thought.

"Dare I ask Ice Saint, do you know the specific situation of this Jia Nan Academy?" Zhu Huo asked.

To know oneself and the enemy is to be invincible in a hundred battles. Zhu Huo believed it was necessary to understand Jia Nan Academy, especially its high-level personnel.

If there were some who could not be trusted, then Zhu Huo would have to consider changing a group of people; he absolutely could not let a group of weaklings expose the situation of his Majesty and the Princess.

A cold light flashed in Zhu Huo's eyes.

However, Xiao Han quickly gave him a shot of reassurance:

"Rest assured, the Great Elder of Jia Nan Academy is the one who brought your Princess back from the Magical Beast Mountain Range; his character is absolutely guaranteed!"

Zhu Huo immediately felt relieved, and at the same time felt a bit lucky; it was fortunate that he had asked, otherwise if he had acted recklessly against Jia Nan Academy, he would likely have been hunted down by his own Princess in the future!

"Moreover, the Dean of Jia Nan Academy, Mang Tianchi, is a Lei Clan Half-Saint, so you must be careful!" Xiao Han's voice drifted over leisurely.

Zhu Huo secretly wiped away cold sweat in his heart; impulse is the devil!

He had not expected this seemingly fragile Jia Nan Academy to have such a background.

Zhu Huo was naturally not afraid of a Half-Saint, but the other party had someone behind them! Once an Ancient Race was drawn out, things would become a big deal.

Zhu Huo said solemnly, "Ice Saint is overthinking; I am extremely grateful to Jia Nan Academy and am currently thinking about how to thank them, so why would I need to be careful?"

"That's good!" Xiao Han smiled enigmatically.

"Then you can go through my junior to find the Great Elder of Jia Nan Academy later; I wish you a satisfactory result."

"Many thanks for the guidance, Ice Saint."

Xiao Han did not reply, turning around to dive back toward the underground world; he had just remembered that he seemed to have done something rather immature.
