Chapter 1116 - 805: Wings_2
Ying Zhao personally helped him apply the medicine and then took out a bandage to wrap his arm.
"What did you encounter this time, Your Majesty? How did you end up in such a sorry state?"
Within the Blood Clan’s reigning monarchs, Nie Yi’s talents are definitely outstanding. Just a few years after ascending the throne, he had already broken through to the Breaking Yuan Rank. Though he has a somewhat arrogant and overbearing personality, he does have the prowess to back it up, with virtually no rivals under the heavens.
Yet unexpectedly, he suffered such a serious injury this time.
Nie Yi’s gaze cooled down, and unhappily he said, "I encountered an ambush. Didn’t expect that after barely a few days, the Divine Hall joined forces with multiple clans, catching me completely off guard."
"Has Your Majesty discovered anything?"
Nie Yi clenched his fists tighter, his tone becoming more dangerous, "Yes, it turns out the Divine Hall is hunting the Blood Clan! They want to create that half-human, half-ghost replication entity, and the most crucial ingredient is the blood of the Blood Clan!"
"Especially if they want to create high-level beastmen, the fresh blood of Blood Clan beastmen is nearly indispensable."

Clang—
The medicine bottle in Ying Zhao’s hand fell to the ground.
She had a vague suspicion in her heart, yet when confronted with the truth, she still felt immensely angry and helpless.
Nie Yi noticed the change in the female’s emotions and instantly felt heartbroken.
He reached out to gently pull her into his arms, his chin slightly resting against her hair, and said in a deep voice, "This time I’ve figured out their strategy, just underestimated the strength of the Divine Hall... Next time I go, I will surely crush the Divine Hall and rescue all the Beastmen of my clan being held captive!"
Ying Zhao nodded, then shook her head, not knowing how to start, "I... I just wish you to be well."
Nie Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up, staring intently at her.
Ying Zhao continued, "You are the monarch of the Blood Clan, the hope in the hearts of countless Blood Clan citizens. You must live well, and nothing must happen to you."
The brilliance in Nie Yi’s eyes dimmed and turned bleak; he seemed to want to smile gently but the corners of his mouth slightly drooped, revealing bitterness, "I understand, I won’t let anything happen."
Outside, someone came to report again, saying that the palace knew His Majesty was back, especially Beauty Li, who hasn’t seen His Majesty in several months and deeply misses him. After hearing His Majesty came here, she specifically sent people hoping His Majesty would return soon.
"I know, I’ll return to the palace later."
Before Nie Yi left, he said, "Ah Zhao, I couldn’t get back last month when you gave birth, haven’t had the chance to see the child, or even send a gift. Let me go see her."
Ying Zhao naturally did not refuse and took him to the nursery.
Outside, a big and small boy were chasing and playing; those were Ying Zhao and Beast Husband Qi Bai’s two sons.
Seeing their mother and His Majesty the Blood King come over, they immediately behaved and greeted properly, turning obedient and well-behaved, leading the two into the room.
In the room, there was also a gentle and handsome male, sitting by the crib, taking care of the newly born female cub. Seeing the two come in, he also got up to greet them.
"Female Master, Your Majesty, here to see the child? Little Pigeon just finished her milk and has fallen asleep," Qi Bai’s voice and his demeanor were elegantly gentle, like a breath of spring breeze, delightful.
"I haven’t had time to care for the child recently, it’s always been you laboring, you’ve gotten visibly thinner," Ying Zhao looked at the slender man, feeling somewhat guilty, "No need to do everything yourself, many tasks can be handed to the attendants."
Qi Bai shook his head, "I’m not tired. To care for the child and ease the burden for the Female Master, I’m very happy... By the way, why did Your Majesty come over? Also to see Little Pigeon?"
Nie Yi nodded, and in a calm voice said, "You’ve had a hard time recently, go take a rest. I’m the child’s uncle, couldn’t return when she was born, now coming to see her and give a birthday gift."
"Your Majesty jests, as the child’s father beast, it’s my duty to care for her, it’s not tiresome, rather I feel quite happy and fulfilled." Qi Bai looked at him, smiling slightly.
It seemed having such a precious daughter indeed made him exceedingly joyful and utterly satisfied.
Nie Yi’s hands in his sleeves slightly clenched, his deep eyes reddening somewhat, yet he didn’t let his emotions show, only exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and Qi Bai then left with the two sons.
Nie Yi watched their departing backs, uncertain whether it was envy or self-mockery, he said, "He indeed is fortunate, to openly be by your side, and bear offspring with you."
Your Majesty..."
Ying Zhao seemed unsure what to say.
Luckily, Nie Yi did not make it difficult for her.
He strode to the crib, looking at the little cub in swaddling clothes, reached out and touched that tender white face.
