Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 868: With You Always (13)
Dai Ji stood helplessly by, unable to do anything.
There was no solution at all.
After a dozen minutes, several Upper Gods arrived, all experts in raising Cups.
Having assessed the situation, the Upper Gods concluded, "There’s an eighty to ninety percent chance it’s the Ice Cicada Cup."
Upon hearing this, cold sweat dripped down Jun Xian’an’s entire body.
"Ice... Ice Cicada Cup?" Jun Xian’an shouted, pulling at his neck, "Wasn’t the Ice Cicada Cup extinct long ago? Where did this come from?!"
Everyone was equally puzzled, "Everyone knows the Ice Cicada Cup indeed went extinct because it’s too toxic. Our mana is entirely ineffective against it. Once it infiltrates the blood, regardless of how powerful one’s mana is, there’s nothing that can be done. It will erode your cultivation, causing it to continuously decrease, and release toxins. Apart from its master, nothing can deal with it."
Jun Xian’an didn’t know who wanted him dead and was seething with hatred.
"Could it be Jun Li?!"
"Jun Li?" the Heavenly King denied, "She wouldn’t have the guts. Over the past two hundred thousand years, if she had such intent and possessed the Ice Cicada Cup, she would have acted long ago. Why wait until now?"
"Exactly." An Upper God said, "When the Ice Cicada Cup went extinct, Divine Mother Jun Li wasn’t even around, she doesn’t have the capability."
Jun Xian’an couldn’t stand it anymore and asked the Heavenly King to knock him out.
The Heavenly King couldn’t bring himself to do it, so Dai Ji took action.
Once unconscious, Jun Xian’an became still.
Once he was still, the Ice Cicada Cup within him also became still.
Jun Xian’an was highly skilled in mana, and the Ice Cicada Cup had been nurtured by Jun Li with blood for fifty thousand years. In the short time within Jun Xian’an, it had already eroded several centuries’ worth of his cultivation.
"Is it true that only its master can extract it?"
"No way, unless... the person dies, only then is it possible to catch the Ice Cicada Cup."
Dai Ji wore a look of despair, "Who exactly did this? We must catch the perpetrator!"
The Heavenly King also wanted to catch them, but now they truly didn’t know where that woman named Ah Wun had hidden.
Now, until they found the master of the Ice Cicada Cup, Jun Xian’an could only remain comatose. Otherwise, if he awoke, it would still be torment.
After some discussion, they decided to adopt this approach. Dai Ji originally intended to guard by his side, but upon hearing from the Upper Gods that if the Ice Cicada Cup wanted to come out, it would do so on its own, she decided it was best not to approach.
Frightened, Dai Ji immediately stopped staying by her husband’s side, leaving maids to keep watch and care for him around the clock.
As long as the perpetrator wasn’t caught, there would be no peace.
But this wasn’t the worst of it. The worst was, just at dawn, besides the Human World, the scandal spread throughout the Five Realms.
The news that Jun Li’s father, Jun Pingsheng, had been murdered by Jun Xian’an and Dai Ji spread wildly.
Although Dai Ji wasn’t the actual perpetrator, she was a participant.
This immediately peeled away the Heavenly World’s dignity.
The Heavenly King flew into a rage, wanting to suppress it, but it was too late.
When Jun Li arrived with those copies before him, he only felt his head hurt even more.
"Brother, is this... true?!" Before the Heavenly King could speak, she continued, "If it’s true, I can hardly believe it. Father’s death has always been left without a conclusion, always claimed to be killed by enemies. Which enemy exactly killed him, no one gave me an answer. If it’s not true, this handwriting is exactly that of both your father and my mother. If it were forged, you wouldn’t have said the letter was lost when I first came. Evidently, the letter was genuinely lost, wasn’t it? If there’s no resolution to this matter, I absolutely won’t rest. Although my words carry little weight, how would the other realms perceive our Heavenly World? Although this happened in our Jun Family, I still hope the Heavenly King provides justice, not letting the citizens of the Heavenly World feel disheartened, countless eyes are watching."
