She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 456 - Ungrateful ingrate

Chapter 456: Ungrateful ingrate

Caro Zhengyang couldn’t help but feel irritated and uncomfortable when he was looked at by Grantling like that. “If the Saint has anything to say, why don’t you just say it? There’s only you and me here.”

Grantling’s expression became serious, and the gaze she used to look at Caro Zhengyang lost its warmth. “Prime Emperor Zhengyang, I have a question I have to figure out. You have to answer me truthfully.”

Grantling’s expression was too grave, which made Caro Zhengyang wary.

Caro Zhengyang asked cautiously, “What do you want to ask?”

Grantling pondered for a moment and organized her words in her mind. She tried her best to say in a calm tone, “Prime Emperor Zhengyang’s cultivation level is high. Logically speaking, you should have sensed ordinary demonic energy entering your body. When did Prime Emperor discover the existence of this Demon Fetus?”

Prime Emperor Zhengyang recalled the process of him discovering the existence of the Demon Fetus, and his expression instantly became gloomy.

He rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand and said in frustration, “At first, I didn’t notice it either. It was only twenty days ago that I suddenly felt nauseous, uncomfortable, and sleepy. You also know that people at our level rarely fell sick. I suspected that there was something wrong with my body and asked a Healer in my clan to check my body. Only then did I discover the existence of this Demon Fetus.”

This Demon Fetus was the most humiliating thing Caro Zhengyang had ever suffered in his life.

Grantling’s expression became even more serious.

“Saint? What’s going on with this Demon Fetus?” No matter how much Caro Zhengyang looked down on Purifying Spirit Masters, he had to put on a respectful and humble att.i.tude.

Grantling sighed and said, “Only a super demonic creature can create its own demonic aura, and its demonic aura is extremely powerful. You should have realized when such a powerful demonic aura entered your body. Unless…”

Caro Zhengyang opened his eyes and stared at Grantling. There was no warmth in his eyes. “Unless what?”

Grantling looked hesitant, but she told him her a.n.a.lysis. She said, “Unless that super demon is related to you.”

Caro Zhengyang’s eyes widened. “Blood relations?”

“Yes, only when that super demonic creature is related to you by blood will you be unaware of its aura. Even at your cultivation level, you were still unaware of the existence of this demonic aura. I suspect that that super demonic creature has a deep relationship with you. It’s most likely… a father-son relationship.”

Caro Zhengyang immediately stood up. “Ridiculous!”

Prime Emperor Zhengyang subconsciously refuted Grantling’s conclusion. He said, “Although Long Sha and I have a deep relationship, we don’t have any children. Where did the child come from?!”

Faced with Prime Emperor Zhengyang’s anger, Grantling reacted calmly.

Grantling asked again, calmly, “Have there been children who were aborted or died at childbirth?”

“No.” Prime Emperor Zhengyang sneered and said, “Your guess is wrong. Not to mention that Long Sha and I don’t have a child, even if we do, even if that child has become a super demon for some reason, he shouldn’t have used such a vicious move on me, his biological father.”

“Saint, perhaps you’re mistaken.”

Caro Zhengyang didn’t hide his doubts at all. Grantling was also a little unhappy. She was the old princess of the Elve Clan and a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. Why should she be suspected by Caro Zhengyang here?

Grantling was angry, and traces of anger appeared on her dignified and elegant face. “Since Prime Emperor Zhengyang doesn’t trust my strength, I’ll leave. However, the resentment aura of the Demon Fetus in your body is overbearing. I’m afraid no one in this world can help you except Su Xuanye and Saint Ling Xiao.”

Her Purifying Spirit Art was on par with Su Xuanye’s. Since Caro Zhengyang had offended her, he could only accept his fate and give birth to this Demon Embryo.

Seeing Grantling’s angry look, Caro Zhengyang realized that his att.i.tude was too rude. The person in front of him wasn’t only a Purifying Spirit Master, but she was also the mother of the Elven King. With her n.o.ble status, how could she tolerate being questioned by a human?

“Saint, I’m sorry. I was rash just now.”

Grantling snorted and said, “Instead of questioning my strength here, why don’t you think carefully about whether you have done anything evil in your long life? For example, you accidentally had s.e.x with a beauty and caused her to get pregnant, but you heartlessly abandoned her and her son…”

Grantling was just saying that casually.

However, a casual remark might reveal much to an attentive listener.

Caro Zhengyang suddenly remembered something. It was a past from more than seven hundred years…

At that time, his name wasn’t Caro Zhengyang, but Meng Qinzhang.

Meng Qinzhang was born into a peasant family in the Cang Lan Empire. When he was young, there were frequent droughts and locust plagues in Cang Lan Empire, causing the crops to be barren. When he was ten years old, another huge flood occurred in Cang Lan Empire. After the flood, the plague wreaked havoc.

Without food and with the plague, many people in Cang Lan Empire fell sick.

Left with no choice, their family could only escape with the others.

On the way to escape, in order to obtain food, his parents trafficked his eight-year-old sister to a hooligan.

They exchanged his sister’s life for five steamed buns.

The next morning, Meng Qinzhang woke up and saw his sister’s corpse thrown into the gra.s.s. Her body was covered in wounds. As he cried, he buried his sister’s corpse. However, this wasn’t the most terrifying thing. What was even more terrifying was that that night, Meng Qinzhang woke up in the middle of the night and realized that his parents were not sleeping beside him.

He secretly got up and went along the path to look for his parents. However, he saw his parents squatting beside his sister’s grave and eating.

This was a horrorifying incident from Meng Qinzhang’s childhood.

Meng Qinzhang had witnessed his parents’ actions. He was afraid that one day, he would suffer the same fate as his sister.

Meng Qinzhang took advantage of the dark and windy night to secretly leave the escape team and went north alone. Along the way, he gnawed on tree bark, dug up tree roots, and ate dirt. After countless hardships, he finally sneaked into the Divine Moon Empire and arrived at a rich city called Myriad Tong City.

There was a kind-hearted richest man in the city. His surname was Yu, and he was famous for being a benevolent person.

Meng Qinzhang lay at the entrance of the Yu family’s house on his last breath. When he woke up, he was lying on a small bed in a firewood room in the Yu family’s house. The richest man in the Yu family pitied his poor life and took him in as a servant.

When he was 14 years old, Meng Qinzhang awakened his beast form. Mr. Yu was overjoyed and accepted Meng Qinzhang as his adopted son. He even betrothed his only daughter, Yu Pianpian, to him.

At that time, Yu Pianpian was only 13 years old, but she was already the most beautiful woman in the south.

At that time, Meng Qinzhang felt that it was his great fortune to be able to marry Yu Pianpian.

After becoming a Beast Tamer, Meng Qinzhang partic.i.p.ated in the Beast Tamer Advanced Academy selection compet.i.tion and successfully entered the Divine Eagle Academy.

Although the Divine Eagle Academy wasn’t as good as the Divine Realm Academy, it was still the second-ranked high school in the Divine Realm Continent. Entering the Divine Eagle Academy was still quite impressive. Mr. Yu was overjoyed. Not only did he pay the tuition to send Meng Qinzhang to the Beast Tamer Academy to cultivate, but he also held a celebration banquet for him.

After entering the academy, Meng Qinzhang cultivated diligently and quickly stood out from the thousands of students. When he was 20 years old, according to his promise, he took a leave to return to Myriad Tong City and married Yu Pianpian, the daughter of the richest man in the city.

The couple spent some time together before Meng Qinzhang returned to the academy to continue studying.

After graduation, Meng Qinzhang was selected by the Caro Clan because of his outstanding abilities. He was recruited into the Caro Clan and became a guest. In order to gain the trust and high regard of Patriarch Caro, Meng Qinzhang took the initiative to change his surname to Caro Zhengyang.

Later…

Later on, he entered a prosperous world. He drank wine that had never been seen in Myriad Tong City, saw beauties that had never been seen in Myriad Tong City, and enjoyed power that Myriad Tong City couldn’t have. Gradually, he became mesmerized by this prosperous world.

After that, in order to become superior and obtain power and status, Caro Zhengyang did something treasonous.

On a quiet night, he set fire to the home of his benefactor.

That night, he hid in a tree and personally witnessed the kind person who treated him like his own child being pressed under a burning piece of wood and burned to death. He even personally brought his pregnant wife to a primitive forest and pushed her into the Broken Cliff that was rumored to be impossible to transcend even after death.

Three months later, he returned to the Caro Clan and married the daughter of the Caro Clan’s Patriarch. From then on, he lived a good life.

… That was more than seven hundred years ago. If Grantling hadn’t mentioned it, Caro Zhengyang would have forgotten his past.

After being Caro Zhengyang for so long, he had almost forgotten about the young man called Meng Qinzhang and the woman called Yu Pianpian.

Seeing Caro Zhengyang’s dazed expression, Grantling knew that he had remembered something important. Grantling hurriedly asked, “Prime Emperor Zhengyang, do you remember something?”

Prime Emperor Zhengyang didn’t dare to reveal his past.

More than seven hundred years ago, it was precisely because of his birth that the young masters of those aristocratic families looked down on him and thought that he was ungrateful and hypocritical.

Now that so many years had pa.s.sed, even though those old fellows were dead, Caro Zhengyang still felt guilty.

“Prime Emperor Zhengyang, if you don’t want to tell me, then I won’t be able to find the ident.i.ty of that super demonic creature. I’m sorry, but I can’t do anything about the demonic fetus in your body.” With that, Grantling turned to leave.

“Wait!” Caro Zhengyang sighed heavily and said, “I hope you can keep what I’m about to say a secret for me.”

Grantling rolled her eyes gracefully, but stopped in her tracks. “Don’t worry. It’s our duty to keep secrets for our customers.”

Caro Zhengyang pondered for a moment before telling her about what he had done to his wife and family years ago.

After knowing that Caro Zhengyang had ruthlessly burned his benefactor’s family to death in order to obtain power and status back then, and had even cruelly pushed his wife and soon-to-be-born child off the Broken Cliff, Grantling only wanted to get up and leave.

“When Yu Pianpian fell into the Broken Cliff, that child was probably about to be born. If your a.n.a.lysis is correct, then that super demonic creature is most likely my unborn child.” Caro Zhengyang a.n.a.lyzed, but he felt that it was ridiculous and unbelievable.

He refused to believe that an unborn fetus could survive in a place like the Broken Cliff, which was filled with resentment, and still come back to take revenge on him.
