The pale green light floating in the air had dissipated.
A two-meter-tall blue-golden Blue Silver Grass stood there, its body swaying slightly, emitting a gentle, vibrant aura.
"You are not allowed to hurt him!"
The Blue Silver Emperor's voice was tender yet noble, carrying an undeniable authority!
The giant net woven from Blue Silver Grass dissipated, and Ye Qiu also stopped his movements.
"But My Emperor, the essence you lost is still within this human!" The Blue Silver King's main body bent slightly, as if bowing, expressing its respect for the Emperor of its race.
"I… I don't want it!" The first 'I' was still weak, but the latter part became firm.
Ye Qiu felt it was trying to put on an air of majesty.
"How can this be?!" Hearing its childish, nonsensical words, the Blue Silver King could not agree. "If there is no essence, how can My Emperor return to its peak?"
"We can not harm him, we only need to retrieve the Spirit Bone that belongs to My Emperor!" Fearing that the Blue Silver Emperor would not agree, it only requested the bone.
"Really?" The Blue Silver Emperor's voice became joyful.
Ye Qiu, who was on the side, couldn't listen anymore. "What do you mean by 'not harming me, just taking the Spirit Bone'? Won't taking the bone mean cutting off my leg?"
If that really happened, wouldn't he, Ye Qiu, be missing limbs in the future!
"What? Cutting a leg? How can that be!" Hearing about cutting Ye Qiu's leg, the Blue Silver Emperor became displeased again.
"Hmph! Human, with the methods of our race, we naturally won't let you become disabled!" First, it snorted coldly at Ye Qiu, then changed to a smiling face, respectfully persuading, "My Emperor, rest assured, he definitely won't be in any danger!"
"No, no! Just no! How painful would cutting a leg be~ You are not allowed to hurt him!"
The two-meter-tall Blue Silver Emperor swayed, flashing on and off.
"But…" The Blue Silver King wanted to say something more but was interrupted.
"No buts, I like Big Brother the most~ If you dare to touch him…"
"I'll… I'll ignore you all!"
The Blue Silver King fell silent. It was too difficult~ Why were these two generations of Blue Silver Emperors so hard to manage? It was all because of those hateful humans!
Ye Qiu felt an unfriendly mental force sweep over him.
The blurry large face on the Blue Silver King's main trunk wrinkled. It felt it should change its approach.
"My Emperor… I think we should talk alone!"
Without warning, an overwhelming wall of Blue Silver Grass formed, surrounding the Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver King.
Although curious about what they would say, Ye Qiu's Sharingan could only see the swaying figures of the two golden Blue Silver Grass, but he was powerless regarding the content of their conversation.
"Damn it! No martial ethics!" Ye Qiu, who was observing, shouted loudly. A huge leaf suddenly appeared under his feet, wrapping around his body.
Looking at the faint golden blurry patterns, Ye Qiu knew this was the Blue Silver King's doing.
"Damn it!" Ye Qiu's face turned ugly. He actually couldn't mobilize his spirit power. The spirit power in his body was being assimilated and then absorbed by it.
Bang! After draining Ye Qiu's spirit power, it threw him to the ground.
Lying on the ground, Ye Qiu's remaining spirit power was not even enough to maintain the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
A small chair woven from Blue Silver Grass appeared in front of him.
Ye Qiu's face was grim. This feeling of losing power was truly unpleasant.
He gave a wry smile, didn't stand on ceremony, and sat down directly, waiting for the outcome of their conversation.
He only hoped that the little Blue Silver Emperor could be reliable.
...
Inside the high wall,
The Blue Silver King was patiently guiding the young Emperor, "My Emperor! Do you want to be with him forever?"
"Of course I do!"
Ye Qiu was the first person it had seen since its complete consciousness emerged, and he was the one who rescued it from the dark, sunless cave.
'And Big Brother's eyes are very beautiful!'
The Blue Silver Emperor, like a graceful young girl, twisted its body.
"Then what should I do?"
"My Emperor, every Blue Silver Emperor, before their demise, will independently nurture the seed of the next Emperor! Your inherited memories will tell you the answer!"
The Blue Silver Emperor began to browse its memories.
"Ah!"
It let out a surprised cry, "You mean to eat Big Brother?!"
"How can that be!" It was a little angry.
"To help you recover quickly, we can only retrieve your essence. Our race needs your leadership and protection!" The Blue Silver King continued to add, "And after you devour him, you can retain his consciousness, and you will be together forever!"
Seeing the Blue Silver Emperor begin to hesitate, the Blue Silver King bent its body, crying out mournfully.
"My Emperor! Protecting the clan is your born mission! Please stop being willful!"
They had been without an Emperor for too long. The tragedy of the previous Blue Silver Emperor must never happen again!
"Please, My Emperor, prioritize the clan!"
The mental force of countless Blue Silver Grass connected to its mind, resounding like a great bell, with immense momentum!
...
Whoosh!
The barrier formed by the Blue Silver Grass scattered, revealing the King and Emperor, the two grasses, who had already reached an agreement.
Ye Qiu, who was venting by pulling at the Blue Silver Grass, also stood up.
"Big Brother~ Come over here!" The Blue Silver Emperor's voice sounded in Ye Qiu's ear. "They wouldn't dare touch you!"
Ye Qiu walked over as instructed, instinctively wanting to pull at it, but a majestic gaze froze his hand there.
"Hehe~ Just a habit!" He smiled awkwardly at the Blue Silver King.
The Blue Silver Emperor, however, actively leaned onto Ye Qiu's hand and pressed against his face.
"Big Brother, if I stay with you forever, will you dislike me?"
"Huh? Aren't you staying here?" Ye Qiu glanced at the old six next to him. What exactly did they talk about?
"Does Big Brother mean he dislikes me and doesn't want to be with me?" The little Blue Silver Emperor fell into sorrow.
"How could that be! I… I'm just afraid they'll cause me trouble!" Ye Qiu was still quite concerned about his spirit power being drained. "Having you chat with me along the way has made things much easier for me!"
"Really?"
"Mm, really!" Ye Qiu nodded. In his opinion, what bad intentions could a child have!
"My Emperor! It's time to begin, we will assist you…"
At this moment, the Blue Silver King urged from the side.
"Huh? Begin what—!"
Before Ye Qiu could utter his question, he felt a wetness on his chest.
He looked down in disbelief, and what met his eyes was a patch of blood.
The Blue Silver Emperor's slender tendrils had turned into sharp blades, piercing his heart.
"Big Brother, rest assured, I will always be with you~" The Blue Silver Emperor's gentle voice was still in his ear, but when it came to making a move, it was even more ruthless than the Blue Silver King!
"Human! It is your honor to merge with My Emperor!"
The Blue Silver King shouted excitedly from the side. Their Emperor… was coming back!
Ye Qiu could no longer move; his entire body stiffened.
Feeling his state, the disbelief and anger in his eyes gradually turned into confusion. He didn't smell death at all; instead, he felt warm all over.
Both he and the Blue Silver Emperor's bodies emitted a blue-golden light.
It… was slowly merging into Ye Qiu's heart, inch by inch!
That clear, tender voice sounded in his ear again, "Big Brother, please accept my gift!"
The Blue Silver King also noticed something was wrong at this moment, its voice filled with terror.
"My Emperor! Wrong, wrong! It's the opposite! You are supposed to devour him!"
Watching the Blue Silver Emperor's body slowly flow into Ye Qiu's chest and gradually disappear.
The Blue Silver King grew anxious!
"Quick! My subjects, lend me a hand! Save My Emperor!"
This cry even spread out of the Blue Silver Forest, transmitting to every single Blue Silver Grass.
In dark corners, on steep cliffs, by desolate roadsides
All Blue Silver Grass emitted a shimmering light, twinkling in the night.
