Chapter 1669: Entering the Forbidden Land
The others usually only have one part of their body change.
They don’t turn into something completely different like him, not looking human at all.
Huang Fuxi had thought Luo Qingtong would be afraid of him.
"Afraid? No, not at all."
Luo Qingtong looked at the young boy in front of her.
Legend says that merfolk are enchanting enough to topple cities, stunningly beautiful.
How could anyone be scared of something this pretty?
Huang Fuxi hadn’t finished growing yet.
Once he gets older, he’ll probably be even more beautiful.
Someone like this is pleasing to the eye just to look at—what’s there to be afraid of?
Luo Qingtong’s expression was calm.
Seeing that Luo Qingtong’s expression didn’t look fake, Huang Fuxi jumped up in delight.
"Sis, I knew you were the best!"
His eyes curved in a bright smile, his heart overflowing with joy.
He’d really been scared that Luo Qingtong would despise him.
But when she asked about the Sea Emperor’s Heart, he didn’t want to lie to her, so he could only tell the truth.
Luo Qingtong only smiled without saying anything.
She could see every bit of the young boy’s worry.
But back on twenty‑fourth‑century Earth, there was nothing she hadn’t seen.
So what if he’s half‑demon?
So what if he’s not human?
Sometimes, the human heart is more terrifying than demons!
However...
Luo Qingtong’s brows lifted slightly.
The people of the Sea Emperor Dragon Court actually have Demon Clan bloodlines, a Half-demon Clan?
Then that Sea Emperor’s Heart is probably related to the Demon Clan as well.
If that’s the case, no wonder Ye Qianming would be affected!
What he was hit with before was the Demon Fox Blood Curse!
It must have combined with the light of that Sea Emperor’s Heart and triggered some unpredictable change!
If she wants him to turn back into human form, it’ll most likely still depend on that Sea Emperor’s Heart.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingtong immediately asked, "Xiao Xi, aside from the Sea Emperor Festival, does the light of the Sea Emperor’s Heart ever appear at other times?"
"No." Huang Fuxi shook his head.
"The Sea Emperor’s Heart is inside the Forbidden Land. Aside from the annual Sea Emperor Festival, when it floats out of the Forbidden Land and shines through our forebear’s statue, giving off its light..."
"At all other times, it lies dormant in the Forbidden Land, and even my Father Emperor and the others can’t command it."
"That’s why the once‑a‑year Sea Emperor Festival is so grand and important to us in the Northern Domain."
To outsiders, of course, it’s just a grand celebration.
But to our Sea Emperor Dragon Court, it’s the major event where the direct descendants awaken.
Hearing this, Luo Qingtong’s brows immediately furrowed tight.
The Sea Emperor’s Heart only manifests again during the yearly Sea Emperor Festival?
How is that acceptable?
Ye Qianming can’t wait that long!
Luo Qingtong’s expression grew very grave.
Ye Qianming in his beast form was far too vulnerable.
A year is too long, with too many variables—no one knows what might happen.
If it were just matters here on the Zhenyan Continent, that would be one thing. But if something happens "over there" where Ye Qianming is...
As Luo Qingtong thought of this, her heart tightened.
No, she has to find a way to enter the Forbidden Land of the Sea Emperor Dragon Court and undo Ye Qianming’s current young fox form, restoring his human shape!
With that in mind, Luo Qingtong prepared to take her leave from Huang Fuxi.
She didn’t want to put him in a difficult position.
Even though she harbored not the slightest greed toward the Sea Emperor’s Heart, the people of the Sea Emperor Dragon Court might not believe that.
This matter, better not ask Xiao Xi to help, lest he be dragged into it!
𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Besides...
If Luo Qingtong’s guess is right, the Third Princess of Sea Emperor and the others have probably been watching him all along. Rather than asking Xiao Xi for help, it would be better for her to go investigate in secret herself.
Thinking this, Luo Qingtong was about to leave.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded from outside.
