Chapter 259 Returning Home
About half an hour later, Gu Yuchuan emerged from seclusion. He sensed no signs of battle outside, but a chill ran through him. Had the other party escaped? If they were hiding, finding them later would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. That wouldn't do. He was still thinking of killing them. There were already many people on his list whom he couldn't take revenge on in the short term, and he didn't want to add any more. It was more satisfying to settle scores face-to-face.
When he went outside, he was a little dumbfounded. The Xuan Turtle Demon General was standing at the bow of the ship, looking unfathomable.
"Big brother, where is that demon?"
Even the Xuan Turtle Demon couldn't explain it clearly, since he himself couldn't understand the power of the Fire Dragon Break. So he pointed to the recording stone on the flying boat and told Gu Yuchuan to take a look for himself. He quickly opened it and began to look.
The more he looked, the more alarmed he became. The Xuan Turtle Demon General couldn't tell the difference between the Fire Dragon Cannon and the real thing, but he could. He had seen the blueprints for the flying boat, and the cannons it was equipped with were definitely not the Fire Dragon Cannons; their power was also much lower. Why was that? He thought of the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor.
However, the Demon Emperor's attitude towards him was only mild, nothing particularly good. Why did she have to get him this Fire Dragon Cannon? She paid for it all herself. This one cannon cost more than 10,000 spirit stones. The price of ten Fire Dragon Cannons was more than what she earned from Gu Yuchuan on this flying boat trip. She didn't know why things had turned out this way.
However, he made a decision: he would definitely go and thank them when he got back. They had saved their lives, and he couldn't leave without showing his gratitude. But then he thought, "I'll wait a little longer. I have no money left." He decided to prepare a gift, otherwise, it wouldn't be right to arrive without one.
Gu Yuchuan didn't explain the details to the Xuan Turtle Demon General, and the other party didn't ask either. After all, judging from Gu Yuchuan's expression, he didn't know the matter either, so there was no need to ask in detail.
Nothing much happened on the rest of the journey. Three days later, they successfully returned to the territory of Yunhaize. Gu Yuchuan first sent the Xuan Turtle Demon General back to his territory.
When the Xuan Turtle Demon General disembarked, he clasped his hands in a salute to Gu Yuchuan: "Third brother, thank you so much for this matter. After my bloodline advances and I become a Golden Core stage expert, I will hold a banquet to properly thank you. For now, I will not express my gratitude. Our brotherly bond is in our hearts."
Gu Yuchuan was very satisfied with his two sworn brothers. If there were no problems, he really wanted to continue to be friends with them. After all, the two of them seemed to be upright people, and their relationship was very comfortable.
As for their potential, the Ink Dragon Demon General goes without saying. He was already a beast when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, which was earlier than Gu Yuchuan's. After Gu Yuchuan understood the Qi of Destiny, especially after seeing Xiao Wei, he even felt that the Ink Dragon Demon General was a being born from the Qi of Yunhai Marsh. Otherwise, it would be inexplicable that a little demon without a family on the outskirts could be so powerful.
Although this Xuan Turtle Demon General lacks a bit of potential, once he advances to the Golden Core stage, his strength will be considerable. In politics, he can be considered to hold a high position of power, which is very important for the two of them who do not follow the path of power and wealth. The three of them not only have a bond of friendship but also have business dealings with each other, and this bond will only grow stronger.
Soon, Gu Yuchuan arrived at his home. The people from the Flood Dragon Palace came out to greet him. He immediately noticed something was wrong with Jianjia. There was a huge mass of life energy in Jianjia's lower abdomen. She was indeed pregnant.
He quickly walked to Jianjia's side and gently touched her belly. However, the little one inside was too young. Even with a high bloodline level, it didn't have any intelligence. But in a few more months, it might develop intelligence.
"Good, Jianjia, you are pregnant with my first child, a great contribution to my Flood Dragon Palace. From today onwards, the resources of the Flood Dragon Palace will be open to you, including all items for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. Use them as you please, and make sure you advance to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible and give birth to a child with excellent bloodline."
Everyone knelt down: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Concubine Yu!"
Gu Yuchuan was truly overjoyed. He finally had family in this other world. Before, he always felt that there was a barrier between him and the Qingyun Realm. He was always somewhat detached from the world and could not truly consider himself a being of this world.
But things are different now. Here, his bloodline continues, and his sense of belonging is greatly satisfied. He begins to imagine what his child will look like.
This Jianjia is a clam maiden. If she is born with him and the bloodline is good, the child will most likely be a mirage, the kind that appears in mirages. She will have a great talent for illusion. If the bloodline is not good, the child might be a python or a viper. He will do his best to improve his child's bloodline before birth.
However, if his child is born with a bloodline that is truly incompatible, he will not hold a grudge against the other party. After all, it is his first child, and it is always different. He is truly looking forward to the child's arrival.
With an unlimited supply of resources, Jianjia successively became a spirit beast and a Foundation Establishment stage expert. Many people said that Jianjia had risen to the top in one step. Indeed, from a low-grade demon beast in the Qi Refining stage to a low-grade spirit beast in the Foundation Establishment stage, such a change in status can even be described as a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Rumors also spread that Gu Yuchuan valued offspring and treated his concubines well. Some low-grade demons even came to offer themselves to him.
However, Gu Yuchuan didn't accept any of them. He had been extremely busy lately, having crafted a total of ten magical artifacts. The Fire Dragon Cannon was incredibly valuable, and he couldn't just go and thank them casually; he had to show sufficient sincerity, otherwise it wouldn't be a proper way to express his gratitude.
He spent two whole months in seclusion, during which he also crafted quite a few magical artifacts. He really is quite skilled at crafting artifacts, which took him a long time. Now, there are only two months left until the interdimensional war, and his good second brother's successful advancement is not far off.
He was very satisfied with the magical artifacts in his hands. These could fetch around 100,000 coins if sold. He had almost used up all his materials, meaning he had no savings left. Indeed, building a flying boat was extremely expensive. He used to be a very wealthy Golden Core Demon King and a Level 3 weapon refiner, but because of a flying boat, he was basically destitute. It's clear that an ordinary demon king would probably never have the chance to own a flying boat in his lifetime; it's not a treasure that anyone should possess.
