142: Chapter 142 A complete idiot paired with a love-struck idiot, hey! That's a perfect match!

" Crimson Vastness?! " Crimson Prison exclaimed upon seeing this person.

Su Mo turned around and saw an old man in yellow robes who had appeared on the ruins at some unknown moment.

His aura was unfathomable, but the two fiery red fox ears on his head revealed his identity.

" Who might you be, Fellow Daoist? "

The old man smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the dragon sinew in Su Mo's hand.

" This old man is Crimson Vastness, considered the first Demon Emperor of the Myriad Beast Kingdom. "

" Did you use this dragon sinew for that arrow just now, little friend? "

Before Su Mo could answer, the dragon sinew suddenly began to tremble violently.

" Crimson Vastness! You actually haven't died yet? "

Crimson Prison's Dragon-shaped phantom looked at the old man in surprise.

" Die? Why do you say that? "

Crimson Vastness glanced at him indifferently. " This old man was merely self-sealed in the depths of the Imperial Mausoleum to heal my wounds. "

" I sensed the commotion in the Imperial City today and came out to take a look out of curiosity. "

He looked at Su Mo, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, appearing very amiable.

Su Mo suddenly understood.

This dragon sinew of Crimson Prison's was brought out from the depths of the Immortal Burial Battlefield by this old man before him; no wonder they seemed so familiar with each other.

" That's right, I was the one who fired that arrow just now. "

Su Mo shook the dragon sinew in his hand. " I thought this thing felt quite handy, so I gave it a try, but the commotion ended up being a bit big. "

" Do you want this thing back? "

Hearing this, Crimson Vastness waved his hand and smiled. " Not at all, not at all. Although I brought this dragon sinew out, I am unable to wield it freely. "

" Since this item has a predestined affinity with you, Fellow Daoist, I shall gift it to you to form a bond of goodwill. "

Su Mo was stunned. He had originally thought this old man had come to snatch the item, but he hadn't expected him to be so generous.

He couldn't help but exclaim, " You're actually a pretty good guy. "

" Hahaha... " Crimson Vastness laughed a few times, then suddenly changed the subject. " However... could you do this old man a small favor, Fellow Daoist? "

Su Mo narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, " What kind of favor? "

Crimson Vastness smiled meaningfully. " You will know what it is in the future, Fellow Daoist... "

His curiosity, having been piqued, came to an abrupt halt. Su Mo curled his lip. " Tsk, if you don't explain it clearly, I'm not helping! "

Crimson Vastness just smiled and shook his head, closing his eyes.

A breath later, he slowly raised his hand, and a figure was instantly pulled into his grasp.

" From now on, you are the new Emperor of the Myriad Beast Kingdom. "

The person lifted into his hand was none other than Crimson Radiance.

After speaking, Crimson Vastness flashed away and disappeared, leaving only the two of them standing there.

Crimson Radiance ignored his Old Ancestor's words and instead stared blankly at Su Mo.

After a long while, he spoke stumblingly, " Mo... Fellow Daoist Mo, could you... come with me for a moment... "

Su Mo raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, " What is it? "

Crimson Radiance's eyes were exceptionally complex, carrying a mix of pleading and guilt.

" This is not the place to talk... I beg you... "

Seeing him like this, Su Mo became interested. " Lead the way. "

Crimson Radiance felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly led Su Mo out of the imperial palace.

The two arrived at a residence, which had " Third Prince's Residence " written on it.

Seeing this, Su Mo had a few guesses in his heart.

Entering the residence, Crimson Radiance led Su Mo straight to the depths of the estate, finally stopping in front of a house.

" Fellow Daoist Mo, although I have done many things that let down my son, please be polite to her in a moment... "

Su Mo nodded indifferently. " Rest assured, I know my limits. "

Hearing Su Mo's reply, Crimson Radiance slowly pushed open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Su Mo heard a weak female voice, " Husband, is that you back? "

" It is me... " Crimson Radiance forced a smile. " I also brought a... Fellow Daoist who knows Moer to see you. "

Su Mo walked into the room and saw a pale woman lying on the bed. Despite the weather not being cold, she was covered with a thick quilt, and several jade stones emitting a scorching aura were placed around her.

" Moer?! " White Snow's two white fox ears suddenly perked up. She struggled to get out of bed, a flush of color appearing on her pale face.

" Is it my Moer? "

Crimson Radiance hurriedly supported his wife and said softly, " Snow, don't get excited... This is a Fellow Daoist of Moer's... "

Hearing this, White Snow finally calmed down. A flash of disappointment crossed her eyes, but she still managed a proper smile.

" Fellow Daoist, may I ask... is Moer doing well now? "

Her eyes were filled with tears, a mix of joy and sorrow.

Su Mo was silent for a moment.

This mother from his first life was just as he had imagined, but why did she find such an unreliable one?!

Under Crimson Radiance's pleading gaze, Su Mo slowly spoke, " He's living quite well, eating the best food and drinking the best wine. "

" Your daughter should also be doing quite well now, but as for the specific situation, you should go see for yourself. "

White Snow beamed with joy upon hearing this. " That's good... "

" Cough, cough... cough, cough... " Suddenly, White Snow began to cough violently, a look of pain appearing on her face as a large amount of cold air emanated from her body.

" Snow! " Crimson Radiance was panicked. " Why is it so fast this time?! "

The frequency of the cold air outbreaks in White Snow's body was becoming more and more frequent. In the past, ordinary Medicinal Pills were enough to suppress it, but now even taking Blood Burning Pills could only barely cope.

Crimson Radiance took out the Medicinal Pill in a panic, but found he couldn't feed it to her at all.

" Move aside! " Su Mo's eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice.

He pressed one hand against White Snow's abdomen. A brilliant light erupted from his palm, and countless light particles flooded into White Snow's body.

A moment later, the cold air dissipated, but Su Mo frowned.

He discovered that what was inside White Snow's body was not ordinary cold poison, but something related to the Law.

This power of cold Law had invaded White Snow's Nascent Soul like a maggot on a bone, making it difficult to remove.

Seeing the cold air in White Snow's body suppressed, Crimson Radiance let out a sigh of relief.

" Tell me, what is going on? "

Crimson Radiance lowered his head and began to recall, " Back then, I went out to travel and accidentally provoked a Soul Transformation Stage evil cultivator from the Eternal Silence Sect. I was no match for him, so I fled to the Eastern Region through a cross-domain teleportation array. "

Seeming to think of something, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smile. " By a stroke of luck, I met the gentle and kind Snow, and we became Dao Companions. "

" But I didn't expect that the evil cultivator would also chase me to the Eastern Region... "

Crimson Radiance clenched his fists in pain. " At that time, Snow had already given birth to a son and a daughter and was physically weak. The evil cultivator caught up again. "

" With no other choice, we decided to lure the evil cultivator away. "

" In order to protect the lives of you... my son and daughter, we had no choice but to hide them and entrust them to a Nascent Soul Stage — — "

Su Mo suddenly interrupted, probing, " Old Turtle?! "

Crimson Radiance raised his head and looked into Su Mo's eyes. " That's right. "

Su Mo cursed in his heart.

This Old Turtle is truly not honest!

Even when the Black Bear blocked the door, he didn't make a move.

Damn it! Do you still need to hibernate after becoming a spirit?!

Su Mo secretly wrote down the Old Turtle's name in his little notebook.

" Couldn't you have stayed home to give birth before coming out? Why did you have to wander around outside?! "

Crimson Radiance smiled bitterly. " That was what I originally intended, but the Qingqiu Fox Clan refused to let me in, citing that I was an outsider fox clan member. "

" Snow got angry and, while pregnant, wandered around outside with me. "

Damn it! Unbelievable!

One idiot, one love-struck fool!
