Chapter 4282

“Thank you, Emperor Xiao! Your spirit beast should be alright for the next few days, correct?”

Kai inquired eagerly.

“Not a problem at all! I’m just curious about how Mr. Chen managed to help all the spirit beasts recover,”

Xiao Yuanshan said, intrigued.

Zhen Yuandao and Zhong Yi also expressed their curiosity, asking, “Fellow Daoist Chen, did you manage to identify the cause of the illness? What exactly is this disease?”

“In truth, the spirit beasts are not actually sick; they are simply frightened. I initially failed to locate the source of their illness, so I focused on discovering the root of their fear,”

Kai explained.

“I stumbled upon the fact that the moonlight at night caused unusual movements in the ground of the spirit beast’s courtyard, which frightened them,”

he continued. “I’ve already addressed that issue, so the spirit beasts just need some time to recuperate and they will be fine!”

Kai chose not to mention his acquisition of the Fire Qilin, understanding that the fewer people who knew about it, the better. After all, as the saying goes, an innocent man has nothing to fear. Currently, he kept his Divine King Bow under wraps; if anyone learned about the Fire Qilin, it was likely he would face even more danger!

Upon hearing Kai’s explanation, Xiao Yuanshan decided not to press further. The spirit beasts were healed, and that was what mattered!

“Mr. Chen, you’ve saved my son’s life and healed my spirit beasts. I hope you can stay in the Imperial City so I can properly show my gratitude!”

Xiao Yuanshan insisted once more.

“Emperor Xiao, I truly appreciate it, but I have many matters to attend to, so I must decline your gracious offer to stay in the Xiao Dynasty,”

Kai replied, feeling a bit awkward as he bowed slightly to Xiao Yuanshan.

“Since you are so determined to leave, I’ve arranged for a substantial amount of resources to be prepared, and Prime Minister Yu will personally escort you back!”

Xiao Yuanshan had anticipated that Kai wouldn’t be able to stay, so he had already organized a gift.

Kai didn’t resist this gesture, understanding that he needed a significant amount of resources for his cultivation, especially since both the Little Fire Qilin and the Little Heaven Swallowing Beast needed sustenance!

“Thank you very much!” Kai expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yuanshan as he prepared to depart alongside Zhen Yuandao and the others.

Just as Kai was about to leave, Xiao Feng suddenly appeared and blocked his path.

“Mr. Chen, I have a request. I sincerely hope you can assist me,”

Xiao Feng said with respect.

“Prince Xiao, please feel free to share your request. If it’s within my power, I will certainly help!”

Kai responded.

“Mr. Chen, I know you travel frequently within the Celestial Realm. I would like you to keep an eye out for Ah Zhu and see where she might have gone,”

Xiao Feng requested.

“Ah Zhu— is she the girl you have feelings for?”

Kai asked, curious.

“Yes. She’s been residing in the Western Region, but she mysteriously vanished some time ago. I’ve been searching for her for many days now,”

Xiao Feng replied, his face etched with worry and sadness.

“It’s all my fault. If I had sent someone to look after Ah Zhu earlier, she wouldn’t have disappeared,”

he lamented.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself, my son. I have already ordered all the cities in the Xiao Imperial Dynasty to search for that Ah Zhu girl. I believe we will find her soon,”

Xiao Yuanshan reassured his son, likely concerned for Xiao Feng’s well-being.

“Prince Xiao, I will certainly keep an eye out for you. If I learn anything about Ah Zhu, you will be the first to know,”

Kai assured him, producing several sound transmission jade slips and handing them to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was taken aback as Kai effortlessly produced a handful of Voice Transmission Jade Slips.

After all, these items were quite expensive in the Celestial Realm, and even as a prince of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty, he wouldn’t dare to be so lavish!

“Thank you very much, Mr. Chen!”

Xiao Feng said gratefully as he accepted the Voice Transmission Jade Slip, bowing deeply to Kai.

After Kai bid farewell to Xiao Yuanshan and his son, he was escorted back to Yongle City by Prime Minister Yu!
