When Ming Xi said this, he was still smiling. The monster playing in the sea had run to his side.
Qi Yu's expression remained unchanged. "Let Ye Zhen come to the new city for a few days. Anyway, there's nothing to do in Northern Border City."
"My father is not here. Although Northern Border City is full of divine weapons, my mother really can't leave. There's no one to talk to, so I want to take grandmother."
Ye Yiqing didn't speak, nor did he look at Qi Yu. He wondered why Ming Xi wanted to see the cannons and guns today. It turned out that he wanted to take Zhao Yang away.
"Ow!" The monster suddenly lifted the cannon on the side with one hand. The cannon weighed hundreds of kilograms, but it was as light as a wooden stick in the monster's hand. Ye Yiqing and Qi Yu's expressions changed.
"Good." Qi Yu whispered. He knew that if he kept Ye Yiqing's family in the new city, he might be able to keep Ye Yiqing. But if he angered Ye Zhen, it would certainly not be good for him and China.
Ming Xi said, "Then I will send grandmother to Northern Border City first, and then come to find grandfather."
Ye Yiqing frowned at him. "You have never seen a cannon before. How can you know how to improve it?"
"Grandfather, you don't understand." Ming Xi lowered his voice, "These cannons and flintlocks of yours are good, but they can only be used against immobile demonic beasts. If you were to use them against high level demonic beasts, it would not be easy. But if the cannons and flintlocks had spirit stones in them, then the power would be different."
"Spirit stones?" Ye Yiqing looked at Ming Xi in surprise.
Ming Xi blinked at him. "Grandfather will soon know the use of spirit stones."
Ye Yiqing glanced at Ming Xi doubtfully.
"Little monster, let's go." Ming Xi called the monster and went to pick up Zhao Yang to Northern Border City.
Qi Yu watched Ming Xi's figure disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye. He took a deep breath and looked back at Ye Yiqing. "Lord Ye, how old is your grandson this year?"
"Thirteen." Ye Yiqing smiled. "He's still a child."
How could he still be a child!
This boy, whom he had recognized as his godson, was definitely smarter than anyone else.
"Send the cannon and guns back," Ye Yiqing ordered. "Your Majesty, let's go back too."
"Lord Ye, if it was the demon beast we saw two days ago, would our cannons still be useful?" Qi Yu asked in a low voice.
Ye Yiqing said, "Yao Yao sent someone to tell us that it's a spirit beast. What we saw was just an illusion. In reality, it's not that scary and won't hurt us."
Qi Yu recalled the scene he had seen that day. He did not think that it was an illusion at all. That day, the entire sky was covered by it.
"Your Majesty actually saw that spirit beast today," Ye Yiqing said.
"How could I …" He suddenly thought of the little monster beside Ming Xi. "You mean, the one with the cannon just now …"
Ye Yi Qing nodded, "Your Majesty, if you look closely, you will find that the small monster looks very similar to the big monster we saw."
Qi Yu sucked in a breath. "You've become so small."
"Since it's Ming Xi's spiritual beast, it naturally won't harm us. Don't worry, Your Majesty." Ye Yiqing comforted.
"Mm." Qi Yu's brows were tightly furrowed. Clearly, he was not at ease because of these words.
On the other side, Ming Xi had already taken Zhao Yang to the Northern Border City.
Zhao Yang had long known that Ye Zhen would come to pick her up in the next two days, so she had secretly packed her things and waited. She did not expect Ming Xi to pick her up.
"Your Majesty, did you really agree?" Zhao Yang asked Ming Xi in a low voice, worried that if Qi Yu did not agree, he would do something to Ye Yiqing.
"Why not?" Ming Xi said, "Grandmother, don't worry."
Zhao Yang sighed. She did not want this to happen. After all, she and Shen Mengxi were still on good terms. However, she increasingly felt that Ye Yiqing was nervous and worried. If she and her son were safe, maybe he would not be so worried.
Ming Xi glanced at his uncle, who was sitting opposite him. His eyes were all focused on the monsters.
"Little uncle, do you want to hold the little monster?" Ming Xi asked with a smile. He was not used to calling this little uncle who was younger than him.
"It won't bite me, will it?" Ye Chunxuan asked.
Ming Xi put the little monster in his arms. "It won't bite."
Ye Chunxuan's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to touch the little monster's head, it had already run away.
Zhao Yang was frightened. "Brother Xuan, don't touch … this."
Even if it was a spirit beast, it was still a beast. They were mortals after all. It was better not to get too close.
"Ming Xi is not afraid. I am an elder. How can I be afraid?" Ye Chunxuan cried.
"That's right." Ming Xi laughed.
Zhao Yang glared at her son.
Soon, they arrived at the Northern Border City and came to the Ye family's mansion where they lived before.
Ye Chunxuan was very happy. "Mother, we are finally home."
Zhao Yang sighed softly. "Yes."
Ye Zhen was already waiting for them. "I told you I could get you back."
"But what about your father? He is still there." Zhao Yang said.
"Mingxi is here. Why are you still worried?" Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Zhao Yang thought about it. That was true. She was indeed worrying for nothing.
"Mother!" Suddenly, a clear voice came from behind. "Is brother back?"
"Ming Yu?" Ming Xi looked behind in surprise. It was indeed his sister.
"Grandmother, look! Brother and I are telepathic," Ming Yu said proudly to the Queen Mother beside her.
The Queen Mother looked at Ming Xi with a smile, a glint in her eyes. So similar! Just like Ah Zhan when he was young, and also like her father. It must be fate that Ming Xi and Ming Yu could have the bloodline of the Dragon Slayer race.
She then looked at the monsters beside Ming Xi, and her eyes filled with passion. Holy Beast!
It had been tens of thousands of years. She had almost forgotten what a holy beast looked like.
Grandmother? Zhao Yang froze. She almost thought it was the Empress Dowager. But the madam was still charming and she had never seen her before. It was obviously not the Empress Dowager she thought it was. Who could it be?
She heard that Mo Rongzhan was the young emperor of the Nine Skies. Then wouldn't this be … the Queen Mother of the Heavens?
Zhao Yang immediately became nervous.
Ming Xi, however, knew who she was immediately. He looked at the Queen Mother curiously. His father had said that he and Ming Yu had the bloodline of the Dragon Slayer race.
So, his grandmother must be very powerful.
"Ming Xi, come here." The Queen Mother waved at Ming Xi.
Ming Xi walked over and bowed respectfully. "Grandson greets grandmother."
The Queen Mother's eyes were full of smiles. She held Ming Xi's hand. "Let me take a look at you."
"Alright." Ming Xi raised his head, thinking that the Queen Mother wanted to size him up. But he found that she was holding his palm, and a strange force entered his qi ocean.
