Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 341

Ryuu was lying on his bed inside a room that had been provided for his use inside the palace as he stared towards the ceiling, a faint knocking was heard on his door as his eye travelled towards the door as he spoke with a sigh, “Come in.”

The door was opened as Zywia stepped inside and stopped with her eyes open wide, Ryuu looked up towards the ceiling as he, “Sister Zywia shut the door.”

Zywia nodded dumbly before she closed the door as she looked around Ryuu’s room, for the lack of better word the room was dry, it was as if they were on land a quick look as she closed the door, confirmed her that they were indeed underwater.

“How?”, a single word escaped from her lips which drew Ryuu’s attention to her as he spoke in a confused tone, “What do you mean by ‘How’?”

Zywia spread her hand as she spoke with disbelief, “How is your room dry?”

Ryuu’s looked at her with a look that screamed, ‘are you an idiot’, as he spoke with a snort, “Are simply using some arrays nothing more nothing less.”

Zywia gasped at that before she spoke in a voice full of understanding, “Is this some special talisman that you are using that you master crafted for you.”

Ryuu’s brow scrunched up as he spoke, “Why would my teacher waste her precious time for something so trivial.”

Zywia looked at that thunderstruck as she stammered out, “But, but…you…”

Ryuu rubbed his forehead in exasperation as he spoke, “Array is governed by one’s creativity and resourcefulness anyone who is a decent array master can make them.”

Ryuu spoke in a bored manner about the array he used as if it was nothing great but Zywia wasn’t born yesterday she might be sheltered but she certainly did not lack knowledge about things related to cultivation and she bet hr life that such skill was beyond even those who are not only millennia old but was even beyond his scope of cultivation, she could not feel the movement of KI due to array activation not only that the room seemed to have been cut off from the outside as well it was truly something else.

She smiled wryly as a thought passed through her mind, ‘I guess it is as expected of Lady Nuwa’s disciple.’

Zywia shook her head to clear her thoughts before she spoke again, “So Ryuu can you do the same for my room, I so do not like spending so much time under water.”

Ryuu shrugged as he sat up on his bed while he pointed her towards a seat as he spoke, “Sure why not, but what do you think of this situation.”

Zywia bit her lips as she spoke, “The political situation in this Empire is not good, they have lost more than half of the land to the octopus attacks while they suffered massive casualties, now a faction under the so called ‘Uncle’ is trying to topple the current Emperor it is gaining momentum and sympathizer but I doubt he would win, the Emperor is strong one he would not go down without a fight and beneath all those scheming the ‘Uncle’ is just a coward.”

Ryuu gave her a small smile as he spoke with mirth shining in his eyes, “There is one thing you are wrong about, tell me what.”

Zywia scrunched up in deep thought as she spoke, “Sorry but I cannot see anything wrong in my assessment.”

Ryuu rubbed his chin with his face scrunched up in deep thought as he spoke, “Well the Emperor’s days are numbered.”

Zywia was taken aback at that as she spoke in disbelief, “What? How do you know that?”

Ryuu looked at directly into her eyes as he spoke with a sigh, “Well when you have gained enough enlightenment in the Grand Dao of Alchemy, you could pick up this things easily though I am not at the level of my teacher or my third eldest sister who could have even told you with a glance what kind of poison is killing him, but I can say enough that he is poisoned and for some reason the Empress even though she is poisoned her condition is much better than her husband.”

Zywia looked startled at the revelation as she spoke, “But that is imposiible you must be mistaken did you not see the strong aura portrayed by the duo.”

Ryuu’s frown increased as contemplated the situation before he burst into laughter at that as he spoke, “Sister Zywia thank you for providing me the missing link.”

Zywia frowned at that as she spoke, “What do you mean by that Ryuu?”

Ryuu cracked a grin as he spoke, “I understood now why their aura was so mixed well, even the going strong preventing the taint of the poison to show itself, the husband and wife must be doing some sort of dual cultivation technique sharing the burden, but it is not enough the problem would show itself within a couple of week, ad soon they would perish.”

Zywia frowned at that as she spoke, “So that ‘uncle’ is now trying to kill his family.”

Ryuu shrugged at that as he spoke, “Well he is the most obvious one but we cannot be sure it can be a third party as well trying to sow chaos and conflict in the Empire.”

Zywia leaned on her chair as she spoke with a frown, “So what are you going to do.”

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, “Nothing I can do nothing unless His Majesty allows it, the last thing I would want is for us to be accused of poisoning the monarch of this empire, after all we are something new who popped up from who knows where as such if I approach them like that they might suspect me as an enemy who has staged the entire thing for some nefarious purpose.”

Zywia looked like she wanted to protest at that as she spoke, “But they could be in serious danger if we are late and how will they even know to ask for your help.”

Ryuu gave a small smile at her as he spoke, “Well they will know now who to ask for help, after all they have been eavesdropping for quite some time now is that not your majesty.”, as he finished speaking as he tilted his head towards a corner of the room as an array began to glow as he spoke his voice was filled with anger, “I will be blunt with you, Your Majesty we are not a threat we stumbled upon your people while searching for a way out of this place nothing less and as for our objective it is simple we want a way out and if your people can help us we will help you as well, and as for spying on us I beg your pardon but please refrain from doing so as we find it utterly revolting.”, with his speech said the array on the wall burst into flame as it disappeared.

Zywia gawked at him before she spoke with a frown, “Wait a minute, how do you know that he will understand anything after all we speak different languages.”

Ryuu had a small smirk on his face as he spoke, “Well my dear when I discovered the array I simply tinkered with it and upgraded it slightly so that the translation array would work properly so that they could understand our language without any problem, but now I have had enough so I had it destroyed.”

Zywia suddenly jumped from her seat as she spoke, “You insulted Royalty.”

Ryuu looked at her in disbelief as he spoke, “Your father rules over galaxies and this is a small area under the sea have some pride in yourself.”

Zywia scowled at that as she spoke, “I have enough pride but not the foolishness after all even a dog is a lion in its kennel.”

Ryuu shrugged at that as he looked towards the door, which he went towards and opened with a smile on his face as he spoke, “Welcome your Majesty, welcome how may I help you this fine evening.”
