Chapter 1917: Chapter 1917: To Survive

After all, that ’cousin’ was an expert in using poison. Although he never had the chance to poison the ruler of Haibo Kingdom, the toxins he carried were indeed lethal, and even a little could kill a person.

No wonder the ruler’s wife was under his control. Who wouldn’t be afraid of someone with so much poison at their disposal?

To show his gratitude, the ruler of Haibo Kingdom took them to the beast farm and let them choose their favorite demon beasts to contract with.

Originally, they agreed on five, but he was so pleased that he doubled the number to ten.

For Lin Caisang, of course, this was acceptable. Since they would be coming to Illusion Continent next, contract beasts were necessary. Moreover, Haibo Kingdom was not limited to Haibo Beasts; there were other types of beasts available, not just Haibo Beasts to choose from.

"Your Majesty, do you know if there is a noble family on Illusion Continent with the surname Yue?" she asked, looking at the ruler.

"The Yue family?"

The ruler was momentarily stunned by her question, then spoke.

"Lady Pharmacist, there are several noble families on Illusion Continent with the surname Yue. Which one are you referring to?"

As far as he knew, indeed there were several noble families with the surname Yue, so he did not know which one Lin Caisang was talking about and naturally could not give a direct answer. His only option was to ask for clarification first.

"The one where a young master returned in the past few years," Lin Caisang clarified.

"A young master returned?"

The ruler of Haibo Kingdom was somewhat puzzled by Lin Caisang’s words.

He thought carefully but had not heard of any young master from the Yue family who had been lost then returned.

"Come here, you."

He raised his hand and beckoned one of his subordinates over.

"Your Majesty, Lady Pharmacist, young master." The subordinate approached and paid his respects to them.

"I’m asking you, have you heard of any young master from the Yue families who went missing recently?" he inquired.

Lin Caisang: "..."

Her mouth opened, wanting to correct the ruler of Haibo Kingdom’s misunderstanding of her intention.

But before she could speak, she was stopped by her husband. Turning her eyes toward Sui Zimo, she saw him shaking his head at her.

She slightly raised an eyebrow, then turned her gaze to the subordinate.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before she heard the subordinate start speaking.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have not heard of any lost young master, but there is talk that the young master of the Yue family in World City, who could not cultivate spirit techniques, is an imposter. They say that when the Yue family head and his wife went to play in the wild lands, they gave birth there, accidentally switched the two children.

Just last year, they brought back the real young master, but...

It seems that this young master is also unable to cultivate spirit techniques and has been abandoned by the head of the Yue family, left to live alone in a courtyard, only occasionally receiving care from Old Madam Yue and thus managing to survive."

Hearing his words, darkness flickered in Lin Caisang’s eyes, and a faint killing intent emanated from her.

"Lady Pharmacist, what’s the matter?"

The ruler of Haibo Kingdom sensed the killing intent from Lin Caisang and quietly asked.

"Sang’er."

Sui Zimo slightly moved his hand, holding hers, and Lin Caisang returned to her senses, looked at the ruler of Haibo Kingdom, and smiled faintly.

"It’s nothing."

She hadn’t expected that Yue Chong would be such a hypocrite. The brother she held dear was just raised in a courtyard, struggling to survive?

It seemed, it was time to meet with the head of the Yue Family.

Yunxia City, wasn’t it?
