CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 548: BAI MAO’S DEATH! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

(Chapter 543, My Father-in-law and Mother-in-law Are Still Alive) Chapter corrected

Xiao Ye took out the treasure-seeking artifact and asked, "Sister Yun Bing, Sister Yunxi, what are your parents’ names?"

"Let me see if I can find where they are."

Yunxi and Yun Bing’s faces lit up with hope. They had seen before how good Xiao Ye was at finding things—no matter how rare an Attribute Demon Beast, or how obscure a heavenly treasure, he always found it quickly.

He was even sharper than a dog’s nose, and better than any treasure-hunting fierce beast!

"Our dad’s name is Yun Hong, and our mom is Shu Bingxi."

"Yeah, our own names are actually a combination of Dad and Mom’s."

As the two girls remembered the days they once spent with their parents, nostalgia came over their faces.

Xiao Ye nodded, "Okay."

He issued a command to the treasure-seeking artifact to look for humans named ’Yun Hong’ or ’Shu Bingxi.’

The treasure-seeking artifact began to emit a soft glow, buzzing quietly.

A few seconds later, the light faded, and the artifact stopped vibrating.

[No such individuals found]

Xiao Ye’s face turned grim.

No such person, that meant the two of them, were already gone?

He had just promised that he would definitely find the parents-in-law, only for the artifact to say ’no such person’ the very next moment?

Yun Bing and Yunxi’s hearts both dropped,*an ominous feeling rising up,* and they quickly spoke up,

"Xiao Ye, well?"

Xiao Ye’s lips twisted bitterly, and he said gently, "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, maybe they’re, uh, gone."

"Boom!"

For Yun Bing and Yunxi, it felt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day—their bodies shocked by terrible lightning, shaking hard, both their faces going pale.

Tears of grief and rage shimmered in their eyes, rolling down their cheeks. Their fists clenched so tightly that their nails dug deep into their flesh, blood dripping in steady drops onto the ground.

"Our parents must have been tortured to death by the Ouyang Imperial Race!"

"Yeah, the Ouyang Imperial Race—they really should burn in hell!"

Xiao Ye stayed silent. Seeing the girls in such pain,*he felt as if his own heart were being stabbed with needles, a pain so sharp it was almost unbearable.*

He held both girls tightly, trying to give them at least a little warmth.

Gu Qingcheng frowned and said, "Xiao Ye, maybe you searched the wrong way?"

"Why not try a few more times, maybe search for them a different way."

If she remembered right, Old Gu had once told her Xiaoxi and Xiaobing’s parents were still alive.

Xiao Ye slapped his own forehead, his eyes suddenly shining, "Right, let me try a few more times. Sister Yun Bing, Sister Yunxi, maybe your parents have lost their memories, don’t remember their names—maybe in those experiments, all they had was a code name."

"If all these years they’ve only answered to code names and forgotten their real ones..."

"That’s why I didn’t find them just now."

"The more times we try, maybe the more likely they’re still alive!"

Yunxi and Yun Bing thought he was just trying to comfort them, and stayed trapped in despair and anger.

Xiao Ye beckoned with a finger, making the drops of blood falling from their tender hands float upward.

He gave a silent order to the treasure-seeking artifact,

Search for any blood relatives of the same origin based on this drop of blood!

The artifact’s glow spread, the whole device shuddered, buzzing again.

"Whoosh!"

Four red chains tore through the void, vanishing into thin air.

Xiao Ye broke into a smile—red chains meant he had found people!

Two of the red, divine-patterned chains locked onto Yun Bing and Yunxi themselves.

The other two chains shot all the way from the Ouyang Clan Leader’s Hall, entered Ouyang Dingtian’s platinum ring, and linked into a pocket world inside the ring—into a secret underground lab.

A 3D space map surfaced in his mind.

There was a blue dot, and four red dots.

The blue one was Xiao Ye, the four red ones were all blood relatives sharing the same origin as those drops of blood.

The blue dot and two of the red dots highly overlapped.

Xiao Ye understood, that was because he was standing right next to Yun Bing and Yunxi.

But the other two red dots—that had to be the girls’ parents for sure!

[##87-##03-2!]

The other two red dots on the 3D map were practically on top of each other—showing those two people were right next to each other too.

"Sister Yun Bing, Sister Yunxi, I found them!"

"Your mom and dad are alive!"

"They’re right in the Ouyang Imperial Race’s inner circle, in one of the pocket worlds."

He happily told the two girls.

"!"

The girls froze, still not fully recovered from their grief, and sobbed, "Xiao Ye, don’t lie, don’t just say that to make us happy."

Xiao Ye stepped forward, wiping the tears from both girls’ faces with his sleeve, planted a kiss on each, and said with delight,

"I never lie to my Beast Girls!"

"Let alone something this serious."

"Father-in-law and Mother-in-law are really still alive. Let’s go find them right now!"

Yun Bing and Yunxi burst into tears of joy and playfully pouted, "Xiao Ye, you’re so mean. First you say our parents are gone, now you say they’re alive; you just want to make us cry."

"Humph, exactly, you kissed me just now, I’m going to kiss you back."

"Me too!"

Smack, smack.

Xiao Ye was left with two lipstick marks, one on each cheek.

A short distance away, Bai Mao watched all this, slurping up the drool at her mouth, sticking out a tiny fish to lick her lips, beautiful eyes brimming with longing.

The other Beast Girls, seeing things turning for the better, all broke into smiles.

Xiao Ye, following the directions in his mind, steered the Space-Time Hall deeper into the Ouyang Imperial Race’s inner sanctum.

Over at the Emperor’s Palace, Ouyang Dingtian got a transmission from an Elder in the Elite Hall.

Someone had just broken into the Elite Hall and snatched more than five thousand elite disciples, including over seventy percent of the core Ouyang Imperial offspring and several hundred Saint Realm Level elite potentials.

Ouyang Dingtian was furious, crushing the cup in his hand with a bang, purple crystal shards spraying all over the floor!

Who the hell had the guts to make a move on the Ouyang Imperial Race!

They sure were bold—tired of living, apparently!

With a dark look, he sent a message,

"I’m coming right now!"

Those elite disciples and core offspring were the bedrock of the Ouyang Imperial Race—their future. He couldn’t lose them!

His figure flickered and he vanished from where he stood.

Xiao Ye was still steering the Space-Time Hall toward the Emperor’s Palace, when suddenly the Hall slammed on the brakes.

"Huh, the red dot just moved!"

"Is the lab inside some portable pocket world? Its spatial coordinates move with its owner’s position."

"But, who’s carrying this pocket world?"

*He started to feel a headache coming on.*

He quickly steered the Space-Time Hall back to the Elite Hall from earlier.

When the view of the Elite Hall flashed on the Space-Time Hall’s screen above Xiao Ye, his face froze up.

"That big guy in the Emperor’s Robe, that must be the Ouyang Imperial Race’s Clan Leader."

"The spatial coordinates match exactly where the Clan Leader is standing."

"This just got way trickier!"

Yun Bing and Yunxi, hearing this, clenched their jaws, glaring daggers at the brawny man in the Emperor’s Robe.

This was the one who orchestrated the abduction of their parents!

*They wanted to skin him alive, slice his flesh off piece by piece to feed to the dogs, and light his soul on fire!*
