Chapter 82.2 Loud Smacks (2/2)
The Snake King had ruled his den for quite the longest time; he had never suffered such a loss before. Someone snatched my inner core?
The Snake King was going berserk. How could he break through without the core? How could he reach the Astral Infant stage?
Following a deafening roar, the Snake King summoned his underlings; snakes from the entire sea region heard his beckoning and swarmed toward him.
More and more snakes arrived; the snake generals moved to the front.
“My King? What happened?” a snake general asked.
The Snake King stood loftily and looked at the snakes with a menacing face.
“I asked all of you to guard the surrounding sea regions, but you allowed enemies to pass and reach me, one after the other! Roar!” the Snake King roared at the snakes.
“Us…?” The snakes were horrified.
“My inner core is missing. Search! Go and search now! Roarrr~~~~~~~!” the Snake King shouted.
“Yes, my king!” the snakes responded.
The snakes dispersed in all directions.
The Snake King could only wait patiently because he had somehow lost the connection with its inner core; he could not sense it in the slightest. Why?Why can’t I sense it?
“My king! I can sense your aura over there!” a snake general reported from afar.
The Snake King turned his head and rushed over, soon finding a glass shard at the bottom of the sea.
“Tsssssssss~~~~~~~~!”
The Snake King felt suffocated as he looked at the glass shard.
Inner core. Yes, that’s my inner core. But why did it break?
Who?Who broke my inner core?Do you know how much effort I put into it?Do you know how much demonic essence I spent to build it?
My inner core is broken. Where are the rest of the shards?
The Snake King was horrified.
He carefully swallowed the core shard. “I don’t care who the culprit is. I want that person dead! Dead!” the Snake King roared; its body trembled in rage.
“Snake King? What… What should we do now?” a worried snake general asked.
“Find them. Continue the search; inform all sea snakes. And I mean it, all of them! Make all of them search. Nothing else is important; I want to find all the rest of the shards. Also, I want the culprit cut into a thousand pieces, and I’m going to eat that person! Roar!” The Snake King kept roaring furiously.
“Yes, my king!” the snake generals replied.
The sea snakes instantly began a carpet-search in the sea. At the same time, they roared to summon the rest of the sea snakes to come out and help their king to search for the culprit.
The second piece was found shortly after.
The Snake King’s heart was bleeding in pain. However, considering the locations of the two shards, the Snake King could infer the culprit’s trajectory.
“That way. In that direction! Roar!” The Snake King looked furiously toward the place Wang Ke’s ship was headed.
The Snake King picked up more pieces of his inner core along the way; each time, the Snake King would shed tears. Who is the damned culprit?Why must you break my inner core like this?You are so inhumane!I’m going to eat you!
And the Snake King continued to track Wang Ke.
On the ship—Wang Ke was oblivious to the incoming Snake King. He was more anxious about the turbid essence Qi in his body.
There’s no use. I can’t suppress it. The turbid essence Qi I used up just now has already been replenished!
Ptooey. What kind of bullsh*t divine technique is this” Wang Ke cursed as he stood up in frustration.
He was unaware of Zhu Yan’s actions, while his heart was filled with annoyance.
But while Wang Ke was in a horrible mood—a lady’s voice was heard further ahead.
“Wang Ke? Is that you?”
The voice was filled with worry and anxiety.
“Am I hallucinating?” Wang Ke muttered to himself, feeling at a loss, “Why am I hearing Princess Youyue’s voice on the sea?”
“Wang Ke, it’s really you. Thank goodness!” That voice was drawing nearer.
Wang Ke looked up and saw a small ship coming toward him. There was a graceful lady with a brilliant smile on board; the radiance of her beauty was shining all around.
“Princess Youyue? How did you get here? Stop the ship. Zhu Yan, stop!” Wang Ke ordered, clearly excited.
The two ships stopped.
Princess Youyue leaped onto Wang Ke’s deck.
“Wang Ke, you’re still alive! Thank goodness!” Princess Youyue jumped into Wang Ke’s arms with tears.
Wang Ke’s frustration was gone in an instant with such beauty in his arms. He was filled with joy.
“Princess Youyue, why are you here?” Wang Ke asked in surprise.
“After I woke up, your cousin-sister told me that you… For my sake… Sniff…!” Princess Youyue explained, also excited, “ I know you were captured by the demons. They told me you were brought to the Miasmic Sea. I was so worried, but I dared not ask for others’ help. So I came alone to find you. I refined my Longing Beads so that I could sense your Longing Orb. That is how I came alone to find you. Thank goodness I did!”
“You came here, just like that? Don’t you know that there are demonic beasts in the Miasmic Sea?” Wang Ke asked with a worried tone.
“I… I heard about it. I heard demonic beasts roaring along the way. But…!” Princess Youyue replied. She looked at Wang Ke with reddened eyes.
The princess cared about nothing else at the moment; she only wanted to find Wang Ke. Memories of her and Wang Ke’s interactions filled her mind. That was all that mattered to her.
Fortunately, she remained safe along the way and finally found Wang Ke. She threw her reservations to the wind and took the initiative to hug Wang Ke, as though afraid that he might disappear again.
Wang Ke’s heart was moved while having the princess in his arms and listening to her. He affectionately saw her gazing back at him with teary eyes. Those eyes were so alluring that he could no longer hold back the urge.
Moved by the impulse of his emotions, Wang Ke kissed her.
“Smack!”
The princess was a little astonished, then a little embarrassed. But she didn’t reject him.
Time seemed to stop. Both wished for the moment to last forever.
But the scene was utterly infuriating for Zhu Yan.
He did not know why he was so down on his luck. Forget about being roughly beaten up, he was also poisoned because he licked the glass shard. The poisoning was so severe that he was still unable to fully expel it. He felt he was about to die because of it.
Why am I so pathetic!
Look at Wang Ke! His pocket is full of money. Now he has a beautiful lady. They are kissing with such loud smacks. What a public display of affection to make me jealous!We’re all in the same boat… I mean, ship… Why am I in such a worse position?
“Pfftt! Why? Why!” Zhu Yan was filled with envy.
