Chapter 299: Xiao Rong's problem
" Sir, p- please let me marry you daught- "
Qiang confessed his love for Xiao Rong but stopped after seeing Rong Fu's expression.
" Just tell me where is my daughter? If you don't answer my question in the next ten seconds, then I'm going to kill you right now. "
Rong Fu released his killing intent, and Qiang's breathing almost stopped, he was once again reminded of his time in front of those Beasts in the Jade Forrest, he was so afraid that he fell onto his knees and began to cough violently.
" COUGH COUGH Sir, I- I don't know w- where she had gone haa haa I was j- just going to m- meet her when you- " Qiang tried his best to speak, under Rong Fu's killing intent he felt like an insect.
" So, you aren't going to answer me huh? You love her so much that you are trying to hide her from me?
Don't you know that soon she will become the wife of the king, so it's best for you and your family to tell me where my daughter is? "
Rong Fu said, intimidating Qiang by the king's name.
" Wh- What? Marry the king? N- No way, Xiao S- she is mine, I haa haa will never let a- anyone marry her- "
Qiang shouted, he couldn't let the girl he loved for so many years marry someone else, and the king had such a bad reputation.
" Haa, don't blame me for this now. " Rong Fu muttered unde his breath, he believed that Qiang was hiding Xiao Rong.

Jayden had finished dealing with the prophet, turning to Wang Jia he spoke:
" Mom, you can deal with the rest, right? " Wang Jia smiled and nodded, there wasn't much left to do anyway, then she asks:
" Are you going somewhere? "
With a node, he replied:
" Yeah, I am going to meet a friend for a while. "
Wang Jia was confused, but she just nodded her head and then turned to sort the situation there.
Jayden expression turned solemn, as his eyes followed the eagle flying in the sky, even though it was a different animal he could sense the same energy from it too.
' Anna, it's that crow bastard, right? Does this divine beast also have the ability to change forms? But wasn't his ability related to dreams, could it have even more abilities? '
Jayden asked in his mind, as he slowly began to move away from there, he was currently walking slowly since he felt that the beast wasn't going to leave anytime soon.
" Yes, it is definitely that beast, seems like it also has this ability to change its form, and it is possible that it might have other abilities too, it's one of the best divine beasts I have seen in my life, I wonder why they have such a legendary beast egg to Bael. " Anna answered.
' How strong is it right now compared to me? ' Jayden asked, his eyes never leaving the eagle's figure.
" With all the limitations considered, it is still a lot stronger than you, that's also brings me to the question, if it is that strong then why doesn't it just attack you, corrupting your mind and using you to kill everyone is one of the possibility but maybe it is actually planning something else. "
Anna spoke in a thoughtful tone.
Jayden pondered her words, but he couldn't think of anything else the Divine Beast could possibly be planning, he hastened his pace and decided to teleport after moving in the crowd.
But he suddenly halted when a figure appeared in front of him, it was Xiao Rong she looked at him with a small smile but Jayden could sense that a storm of emotions was brewing inside of her head, glancing at the eagle he asked:
" What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me? "
She nodded but didn't know how to tell him that her own father is going to trade her with the king for some wealth, fame and power.
" Actually I wanted to tell you t- that... My father, he... "
Xiao Rong stopped suddenly, even though she wanted his help but she was afraid that he might get hurt since even the king was involved in this.
Jayden sensed her hesitation, so he knew that it must be something serious but right now he had to look for that divine beast so he spoke:
" Go to my house, and wait for me there let's talk then, I'll be there shortly. "
Just as he was about to walk away, he saw her looking around cautiously, with a sigh, he spoke:
" Wait for me in my room and don't go out, okay? "
Hearing his words she was confused, Xiao wanted to be with him now more than ever, she was afraid, afraid that her own father might come and force her to do things she would never want to, things that would be enough to make her want to die.
Die? But how could she die leaving her mother all alone, since if she did anything like that, then Rong Fu would turn her life into something worse than hell?
Just thinking this, Xiao felt afraid, there was nowhere to run any where in the Kingdom away from the king's clutches, she knew that Jayden was very strong but she wasn't sure just how strong he truly is, even the last time in the cave in that jade forest he wasn't as strong as those bandits, so Xiao couldn't bring herself to drag him into such a big problem, but hearing his words she was confused:
" Huh? W- What do you mea-? " But in the next instant, she disappeared from there and found herself standing in Jayden's room.
Xiao Rong blinked in confusion but then she remembered that Jayden had the ability to send people from one place to another, taking in a long breathe she sat on his bed and for a moment she forgot everything else and just inhaled Jayden's scent that was still present on his pillow and blanket.
" This room smells so good. "
Xiao Rong mumbled and lay on the bed, with Jayden's pillow under her head and within a few minutes she drifted off to sleep, the past couple of hours had been a torture for her, just lying on the bed and inhaling Jayden's scent made her feel relaxed and so she was asleep before even knowing it.
***
*BOOM*
After giving Qiang a warning, Rong Fu punched his stomach without using too much of his strength, still, Qiang was thrown away as blood poured out of his nose and mouth.
He tried to stand up but fell back as he coughed out a mouthful of blood, in between his painful groans he spoke:
" Ughhhhh I- I really d- don't know w- where haa haa Xiao w- went cough cough I'm t- telling you t- the aaaaah truth " Qiang finished with difficulty and fell unconscious.
Rong Fu harrumphed and then looked at his wife who still had a confused and terrified expression, after a long sigh he called one of the four guards who were standing around the dead body of Xie.
