I Think They Are Connected

“Oh wow!” Someone immediately chimed in, “It’s been ages—he’s still not cured?”

“Exactly!” The Celestial Empress looked worried. “The spiritual alchemists say it’s really hard to purge!”

“Mother, I remember last time Ryan was invaded by demonic energy.” At this, Jinxian said, “It was Divine Lady Lucia who got rid of it!”

“Really?” The Celestial Empress looked at Lucia Lu. “Lucia, can you heal this?”

Lucia Lu replied, “Your Majesty, I’m afraid I can’t do it alone. Last time my second brother was possessed by demonic energy, it was mainly Fifth Highness who helped purge it.”

The Celestial Empress’s expression cooled a bit. “Then can your Divine Father heal it?”

Lucia Lu answered, “Because of what happened to my second brother, my Divine Father researched a special method to purge demonic energy. He can use the Genesis Cauldron and an Illusory Array to do it, but if Second Prince wants him to help, he’ll have to go to the Spirit Alliance himself.”

“I see!” The Celestial Empress nodded with a smile. “Then tomorrow I’ll contact High God Quentin Lian and ask him for a favor.”

Lucia Lu nodded.

The Celestial Empress suddenly sighed again, saying, “With High God Quentin Lian here, my second son still has hope. But Lady Wynn Drake is so pitiful—her only legitimate son, and now this…”

She looked at Lady Wynn Drake.

Lady Wynn Drake looked gaunt and frail, radiating an emptiness completely at odds with the festive atmosphere.

Hearing the Empress’s words, she suddenly asked, “Celestial Empress, has that Demon Beast still not been found?”

The Celestial Empress shook her head. “His cultivation is extraordinary. The Divine Guards have found him several times, but he always escaped!”

“Why not send Divine Lord Tanya Quinn to find him? She raised that spirit pet—shouldn’t she be responsible for bringing it back?”

The Celestial Empress looked troubled. “Divine Lord Tanya Quinn may be the Phoenix Lord, but her cultivation isn’t necessarily higher than Lord Noctis’s! You know how it is—anything that’s been demonized is beyond our normal understanding!”

“I heard that back when Emperor Ray Quinn gave that Demon Mouse to the Azure Dragon Lord, he also taught him how to control it!” Lady Wynn Drake said. “I think she’s just shielding him on purpose!”

“Oh, Qiao! Don’t take it out on Divine Lord Tanya Quinn!” the Empress said quickly. “Those Demon Beasts are incredibly dangerous—they can go wild and attack anyone at any time. I’m sure Divine Lord Tanya Quinn has put a lot of effort into controlling it!”

“If you ask me, all those Demon Beasts should be cast into hell and never reincarnated!” Lady Wynn Drake said bitterly.

Someone asked, “I heard the Azure Dragon Lord once proposed locking up all the Demon Beasts so they can’t harm anyone. Your Majesty, did that proposal go through?”

“Lord Noctis hasn’t been caught yet, so it’s been put on hold,” the Celestial Empress said. “But personally, I think it’s reasonable. We don’t have to kill them all—just seal them away, like Bianca Whitefan, so they’ll never cause trouble again!”

“Maybe everyone should go home and mention this to your clan leaders, push it forward a little,” said Lady Drake, Xuanmei. “Honestly, I think whether or not Lord Noctis is caught doesn’t really affect the proposal! If we lock up all the Demon Beasts, everyone will feel safer, right?”

Many people nodded in agreement.

Lucia Lu couldn’t take it anymore and said, “I think it is connected!”

“Oh? How so?” The Celestial Empress arched a brow at her, lips curling into a strange smile.
