Chapter 163 As expected, he is my master.
The moment Zhou Hanzhang's drop of blood fell onto the star bead, it felt like water falling into boiling oil.
The entire star bead seemed to boil over, with dark green water flowing rapidly across it, as if trying to find a place to break free.
The surrounding points of light converged at the top of the star bead, wanting to escape but unable to.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
"what happened?"
The emperor and Zhou Huaide were close enough to clearly see what was happening.
But none of them had ever seen this staff before, and they didn't know how to react.
Zhou Hanzhang looked at the instigator, "Little Cuiyan, do you know something?"
"Awoo!"
That is!
Who told you to ignore me!
I just know it!
"Alright, stop howling. Tell me properly what to do next."
"Ow..."
Just as Little Cuiyan was about to howl, she remembered Zhou Hanzhang's words and immediately stretched out a little paw to cover her mouth.
Its other paw was pointing at Xingzhu, seemingly inviting Zhou Hanzhang to come over.
"You mean you want me to go to Xingzhu's place?"
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Zhou Hanzhang saw a strange sense of agreement in its eyes, and felt as if he could see it nod at any moment.
Sure enough, Little Emerald Flame nodded frantically, just like a person.
……
This is truly bizarre.
Zhou Hanzhang carried Xiao Cuiyan to the side of Xingzhu and gestured to it.
First, it takes out its little paws, then puts them to its mouth, making a chicken leg eating motion, and then puts its little paws on the star bead.
"You mean you want me to drip my blood on it?"
"Awoo."
As expected, he is my master.
That's really clever.
Zhou Hanzhang wanted to put Xiao Cuiyan aside, but Zhou Huaide quickly reached out his hand when he saw this, "Give it to me, I'll hold it for you, don't let it run away."
She thought about it and decided it was feasible, so she handed Xiao Cuiyan over to her father.
Zhou Huaide finally got to hold Xiao Cuiyan, and his whole body radiated a joyful glow, wishing he could kiss Xiao Cuiyan right there and then.
If it weren't for Little Green Flame baring its teeth at him.
Just as Zhou Hanzhang was about to act, the emperor stopped him. "Zhang'er, shall we discuss this again? If all else fails, let's go back and ask the Imperial Advisor about the situation."
“Uncle, we’ve come all this way. Little Emerald Flame bit me, and some blood has dripped into the wound. Now that there’s a wound, let’s drip some blood in and see if it works. Who knows, maybe it will work?”
I think Little Emerald Flames must know something. Didn't you say they've been helping us guard the mountain? They must be better informed than we are, right? They're always more perceptive than us.”
"That……"
The emperor hesitated.
"Let's leave it at that. It will take us a lot of time to come and go, and there are still people from Yunmeng Kingdom outside. If we don't handle this well, won't we just give them another chance when we come back next time? Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems. Little Cuiyan wouldn't want to harm me."
Zhou Hanzhang acted decisively, placing his injured finger on the star bead and squeezing out the blood.
Blood dripped down, one drop at a time. The Star Bead was like a vast ocean, absorbing each drop of blood as it fell and then disappearing without a trace.
Instead, the star bead seemed to grow even hotter, and the heat emanating from it permeated Zhou Hanzhang's face.
No more blood could be squeezed from Zhou Hanzhang's fingers, but the star bead didn't seem to have absorbed enough, and it looked increasingly turbulent and surging inside.
Zhou Hanzhang frowned as he looked at Xiao Cuiyan in Zhou Huaide's arms.
"Awoo?"
Why are you looking at me?
Continue.
Zhou Hanzhang pulled a dagger from his pocket, startling the Emperor and Zhou Huaide. "Zhang'er, what do you intend to do?"
"Not enough blood, let me draw another one."
The two elders were truly frightened at this moment.
The emperor said, "It doesn't know how much more blood it needs from you. If you wound yourself with a dagger, there still won't be enough blood."
Although Zhou Huaide liked Xiao Cuiyan, he couldn't joke about his child's safety.
"No, you really believe it?"
Looking at the wolf cub in his arms, Zhou Huaide was very doubtful. "It's so small, it probably can't even tell whether it's a wolf or a dog, right?"
"Probably not?"
"Awoo!"
What do you mean by not being able to tell a wolf from a dog?!
I'm a wolf!
It's a snow wolf!
Little Cuiyan howled at Zhou Huaide.
"Okay, okay, I know, you're a wolfhound."
"...Awooo!"
You're the wolfhound!
Your whole family are wolfhounds!
Looking at this fantastical scene, Zhou Hanzhang coughed lightly, "I am human."
She looked at Little Emerald Flame, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
No, no!
It's almost boiling! Can't you see the beads are about to boil?
nothing!
Trust me!
“Uncle, Father, you see, even Little Cuiyan thinks there’s no problem. It’s still young and can’t lie. Besides, I’m sure I’ve treated it pretty well. Let’s try again. If it doesn’t work, we’ll go back to the capital.”
Since she had already said that, what could the emperor and Zhou Huaide possibly say? They could only sigh and remain silent.
Zhou Hanzhang raised his knife and slashed open his own palm.
The blood flowed down immediately and was instantly absorbed by the star bead.
"Awoo!"
You can't do it this way.
You should put your hand on it.
Little Cuiyan jumped down from Zhou Huaide's arms and leaped onto Zhou Hanzhang.
Two tiny paws grabbed Zhou Hanzhang's bleeding hand and covered it with the star bead.
As soon as he covered it, Zhou Hanzhang felt the suction force coming from his palm again.
This time it was more noticeable because blood was flowing from the cut on my hand, initially just dripping down drop by drop.
As soon as it was placed on it, the suction force directly drew the blood from my hand onto the star bead, and the dark green inside boiled even more violently.
The veins in her hand seemed like a river, and the star bead was like a vast ocean. She could feel almost all her blood flowing into the star bead.
Her face grew paler and paler, and the emperor and Zhou Huaide watched with great anxiety.
But given the current situation, they dared not rashly pull her away, so both sides turned towards Xiao Cuiyan.
"Awoo!"
Okay, okay.
It will be ready soon.
Sure enough, after Xiao Cuiyan's voice, Zhou Hanzhang felt the suction force on his body disappear, replaced by a pushing force that pushed his palm away from the star bead.
After absorbing Zhou Hanzhang's blood, the Star Bead remained in a boiling state, and the white light spots began to slowly melt inside the Star Bead, dispersing to every corner.
Finally, the surging dark green mixed with specks of light, as if it had exploded.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared before their eyes, and a beam of light shot out from the star bead, heading straight for the moon.
Apart from Zhou Hanzhang, the Emperor, Zhou Huaide, and even Xiao Cuiyan were all forced to close their eyes by the intense light.
Zhou Hanzhang was completely unaware, staring blankly as the beam of light shot up to the moon.
As the beam of light extended toward the moon, the dark green color of the star bead gradually faded, and the entire star bead regained its crystal-clear appearance.
