Chapter 197 Aftermath
Long Yuan felt somewhat aggrieved; it wasn't his fault that he had a nephew who was all age and no brains.
He wasn't surprised that Chu Xinyao left, but what was surprising was that she took his Long Tingting with her!
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the research on the ingredients of the pill, and finally achieved results. But when he came to claim credit, he found the institute deserted.
"Ahem," Long Yuan said, putting away his resentful expression, "Do you want to see this?" He reached into his robes and took out a piece of parchment.
Chu Xinyao looked at Long Yuan and her gaze followed him to the parchment in his hand.
Perhaps the Holy City truly possesses such power, but I underestimated it in the past.
Seeing that Chu Xinyao hadn't spoken, Shemo came to her side and whispered, "Yao, haven't you always wanted to know? Why don't you take a look?"
The holy city has a profound history and many secrets unknown to them.
Chu Xinyao nodded. Although she still had some doubts, the most important thing right now was to verify whether the research results brought by Long Yuan were effective.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Upon hearing this, Long Yuan smiled, turned around, walked to the table, and unfolded the parchment scroll.
Chu Xinyao and the other two walked to the table, where they saw a parchment scroll densely covered with the names and dosages of various medicinal herbs. Chu Xinyao looked at it carefully, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were deep in thought.
Having studied with the High Priest for so long, she was familiar with some of the medicinal herbs, such as angelica, which nourishes and invigorates blood, and dodder seed, which tonifies the kidneys and replenishes essence. They had analyzed these herbs before, but they had never been able to accurately control the dosage, which was precisely the key point.
She glanced at Long Yuan, her eyes filled with surprise. This Holy City was truly not to be underestimated; they had actually managed to analyze the ingredients of the Fertility Pill.
"Yao, should I go and call the High Priest? After all, this matter is of great importance, and it's always safer to discuss it with more people," Shemo asked, worried that Chu Xinyao might not be aware of the situation.
Chu Xinyao shook her head, handed the parchment to Long Yuan, and said softly, "No need, I trust you, and I'm sure you wouldn't lie about this. Let's try your recipe now, and hopefully it will really help us!"
This is a very important matter concerning points. If Long Yuan wants to see Long Tingting, he must help her gain a lot of points.
Long Yuan took the parchment scroll, a confident smile on his face: "Don't worry, I'll find someone to try it out right away."
"Wait," Shemo suddenly spoke up. He didn't fully trust Longyuan, so he turned to Chu Xinyao and said, "Yao, let's do this! This is our territory, and we have a lot of beastmen who want to have offspring here every day. It shouldn't be difficult to find a few to do experiments."
Chu Xinyao thought about it and realized it made sense. No matter how powerful Longyuan's holy city was, it was still so far away. She had met most of the subordinates he brought, and they were all male beastmen, not a single female. Where did he find a few pairs to conduct experiments?
"okay!"
Seeing that Chu Xinyao agreed, Shemo immediately opened the door and summoned the two siblings, Dashu and Xiaocao, who had returned with Longyuan, assigning them the task. The two accepted the task and quickly left.
"Little Grass?" Long Aoyu, who was waiting outside the courtyard gate, happened to see Little Grass. He was overjoyed and subconsciously wanted to pull her aside to talk for a while, but was stopped by the old man next to him with a few coughs.
Long Aoyu's hand froze in mid-air, and he awkwardly withdrew it.
"Ancestor, are you alright?"
"Ahem, now you know to ask your ancestors? I thought you'd been bewitched by that little female!" the old man sitting on the stone bench under the tree joked.
"What, that little female Xin Yue?"
"Ah, this, I..." Long Aoyu blushed, standing there scratching his head helplessly, his secret exposed.
The old man was very pleased to see him like this. The child had only been an adult for two years and already had a female he liked. Through his observations along the way, he understood that the little female did not dislike his great-grandson.
Then, he sighed again, looked in the direction of the room, and said slowly, "If only our city lord could also be enlightened, I would not have to worry about the city lord not having offspring."
Chu Xinyao stood by the window in the room, watching this scene with great interest.
After Xiaocao hurriedly left, she turned around, her eyes instantly sharpening, and said coldly to Longyuan, "Alright, now that the matter of the Fertility Pill is over, shouldn't you talk about the trouble brought about by the news of the Holy Maiden?"
Long Yuan sensed the change in atmosphere, his body stiffened, and he forced a smile as he looked at She Mo and Yu Paopao, who were walking towards him with unfriendly expressions.
"Hey, don't worry, I've already thought of a way." His voice was somewhat flustered, and even his eyes were unfocused.
The news of the Holy Maiden has already spread, and now with the addition of the identity of the Goddess of Childbirth, what kind of upheaval will this cause on the continent?
Chu Xinyao wasn't buying it. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone icy: "Long Yuan, now that the Holy Maiden's identity has been exposed, what are you going to do?"
"I've already told you, you're my sister. I'll announce it out loud, and any tribe or male beastman who dares to force you will be an enemy of my Holy City. My Holy City has a significant influence on the continent, and I'll also publicize your identity as the Goddess of Childbirth. That way, I doubt any foolish beastmen on the continent will dare to cause trouble."
"But what if?" Fish Bubble clenched his fists, his fingertips turning white from the force. He almost gritted his teeth as he said, "Do you know that on this continent, there are quite a few races like our Fish-Dragon Clan that are on the verge of extinction? If every race came to request a mate with the southern part of the province, the little female would either be exhausted to death or spend her whole life lying in bed as a baby-making machine." His voice grew louder and louder, until it was almost a roar. The worries that had tormented him for so long finally erupted at this moment!
He lived through a dark era when, in order to save the Fish-Dragon Clan, females were kidnapped to ensure the offspring of the Fish-Dwelling Clan, and he succeeded in doing so. If they could do this, what about other races?
He was certain that some races or tribes had already set out with the same idea in mind. He could almost see the scene of those greedy male orcs swarming in, their eyes fixed only on the desire to reproduce, completely disregarding Chu Xinyao's wishes and her safety.
Supported by the two men, Long Yuan's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. He took a deep breath and said, "I know your concerns, but I have come up with a solution. All the subordinates I brought are eighth-level experts, and my nephew and I are the strongest ninth-level experts. With your people, we will definitely be able to protect Yao Yao."
