The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 849 Two Hostages

There was a hat in the middle of the box, which looked very similar to the Crown of God of the Divine King. The hat was also inlaid with a gem, but unlike the top-level Spirit Stone, this gem contained extremely strong bright Holy Force.

Emperor Xuan Yuan explained, “This was the Crown of God left by the Divine King. It’s a holy object of the Divine Court.”

Qin Haodong realized that the true Crown of God must have been lost in the great war, and later the Divine Court created a replica.

So the hat he got before was just a replica, and this one was the real Crown of God.

Then he looked toward the side and saw two small transparent jade jars beside the crown. The first jar contained a red bead while the second one a green one.

Although the jars were sealed, Qin could still feel the powerful energy contained in the two beads.

Emperor Xuan Yuan explained, “The red bead is the blood of Cain, the ancestor of the Blood Race while the second one belongs to Bierhof, King of Wolves. Please send them back to their clansmen when you are able to.”

“OK, Sir. I will fulfill your last wish.”

“Go ahead. Remember, as the descendant of our Xuan Yuan clan, you must always protect our Huaxia people!”

Satisfied with Qin Haodong’s attitude, Emperor Xuan Yuan nodded and then disappeared into thin air.

Qin Haodong was not in a hurry to leave. The most important thing for him now was strength. Since he already had several top-level Spirit Stones, his top priority was to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

He sat cross-legged in the middle of the stone chamber, holding all three Spirit Stones in his palm. Based on his previous experiences, the more he practiced, the greater his need for spiritual energy. He hoped that these three stones could help him reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

About half a day later, all the three stones turned into powder at the same time with a cracking sound.

At the same time, a white light rose from the top of his head and finally turned into an energy body that was the same size as himself. It was his Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul was a replica of Qin Haodong, indicating that he had completely entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Qin brought his Nascent Soul back into his body and slowly opened his eyes. A flicker of a smile crossed his face.

The Queen of Vampire, the Blood Emperor, or the Divine King, none of them were his match after he had reached the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He had always pretended to be weak and had not shown his actual improvement, so he looked exactly the same as before.

Qin Haodong came to the entrance of the cave, and the stone door slowly opened. It was already midnight, and a bright moon hung in the sky.

The moment he stepped out of the cave, he felt that something was wrong. He looked up and saw a group of people standing on both sides of the cave.

On the left stood Rijkaard, the Divine King of the Divine Court, who was holding a holy object, the God’s Attachment.

Next to him was the ever graceful Kathryn. She looked completely different from when she had awakened. After receiving the recognition of the Angel Heart, her body was restored to its former state, but she looked very holy.

Qin Haodong could feel her strength, which was not inferior to that of the Divine King. No wonder the Dark World attached so much importance to the awakening of the Holy Virgin.

About a hundred people stood behind them, and in the middle of the line was Lev, tied up, with a towel stuffed into his mouth.

Obviously, the Divine King had been suspicious of Qin Haodong. Sukh, the Paladin, and Valderrama, the Pontifex Maximus, were asked to watch Lev together.

Chen Fugui and Zhang Feiyang, who were close to Qin Haodong, were standing at the back of the line. Even Alex was not allowed to get close to Lev. This must be the Divine Court’s plan against him.

On the right side of the cave stood members of the Dark Parliament, led by Sharapova and her men. Xi Youmi had been taken hostage by them.

The man who was guarding Xi Youmi was Wolffe, the werewolf king of the Dark World. He was accompanied by the other dark wizard, Garrincha. Khorkina and her daughter, who were close to Qin Haodong, were standing at the edge.

After seeing Qin Haodong’s great power, Sharapova was very afraid of him. She held Xi Youmi tight by the neck and gave her no chance to be rescued.

The forces of light and dark stood face to face peacefully, which was rare. Obviously, both sides were waiting for Qin Haodong to come out.

Qin Haodong glanced at them and said with a smile, “Are you here to welcome me? Well, I don’t need such a grand ceremony.”

Rijkaard said, “Qin Haodong, as a human, how dare you collude with the dark creatures? If you hand over all the treasures you got here, I might spare your life.”

“Don’t pretend to be so righteous.” Qin Haodong pointed at Sharapova, who was eyeing him covetously. “Look at them, do you really think we’re working together?”

Rijkaard was rendered speechless and then argued, “It’s useless to deny it. I recognized the Wolf King with Golden Hair. You’re close to him and the Dark Clan. You must be punished by the Divine Master.”

Qin Haodong asked, “I can give you what you want. But you have to answer my question first. How did you know I’m here?”

The Crow Canyon was a secret between him and Lev. Because of the master-servant contract, Lev would never betray him, so he wondered how both the Divine Court and the Dark Parliament were able to locate him.

Rijkaard said, “Well, that’s quite easy.

“This is the place where our first Divine King disappeared, so we’ve been secretly monitoring the canyon. Our men saw you the moment you entered the place.”

When he heard that, Qin Haodong realized that the Divine Court had not given up their search for the missing Crown of God, so they had been monitoring the place.

He turned to Sharapova, “How did you find me?”

Sharapova said, “I knew that there was something strange about you, so I left a mark on all your friends. I can find you no matter where you’re at.”

Qin Haodong shook his head secretly. It seemed that he had underestimated this woman. Having lived for thousands of years, she was more cunning than he thought.

He was too careless. If he had set up an array in front of the door, they would not be at such a disadvantage.

He looked at Rijkaard and Sharapova and sneered. “I didn’t expect that the Divine King of the Divine Court and the chancellor of the Dark Parliament would kidnap innocent people. Shame on you!”

Rijkaard said, “Lev is a Werewolf. I have the right to take him or even kill him.”

“Shame? Our Dark World doesn’t care about such things,” Sharapova said with a smile. “I’m a member of the Blood Race. We care about nothing except for the benefits. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Qin Haodong gave up and said, “Tell me, what do you want?

“But I have to warn you that you’d better not go too far. They’re not my best friends. So I may not agree if you demand too much.”

“Really? But I think you’re really attached to this woman. If she’s really nothing to you, there is no need for us to negotiate.”

As an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, Sharapova was quite tough and cunning. She said with a charming smile, “If you don’t care, I will turn her into a descendant of our Blood Race.”

“She’s fair and tender, more beautiful than any of us. We have countless strong Werewolves and dark creatures here. All of them are eager to get her.”

Qin Haodong sighed secretly. Although nothing had happened between him and Xi Youmi, he couldn’t watch such a beautiful woman die.

He said, “Tell me your conditions first. I’ll see if I can accept them.”

“That’s very simple. One of you must become the descendant of our Blood Race, either you or she. You can make a decision now.”

What she valued most was Qin Haodong’s Taiyin Qi-gathering Formation, but she knew that the western dark creatures could not use it. The only solution was to turn him into her descendant.

Qin Haodong shook his head, “That’s too much. I can’t be a descendant of your vampires. Is there anything else you want?”

“This is the only thing I want,” Sharapova said. “There’s no room for negotiation. They say you’re a sex freak, but it’s not true. Well, it seems that I have to make her my descendant.”

Then she opened her mouth and was about to bite Xi Youmi’s white and tender neck with her sharp teeth.

Xi Youmi didn’t struggle or resist, but her eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions.

Seeing that Sharapova’s teeth were about to pierce Xi Youmi’s tender skin, Qin Haodong stopped her, “Wait a minute.”

Sharapova turned around. “What’s wrong? Have you changed your mind?”

Qin Haodong said, “Let her go. I’ll accept your Embrace.”

He didn’t intend to give her the blood of Cain. Sharapova was cunning and powerful right now. She would definitely get out of control after absorbing her ancestor’s blood.

Sharapova was overjoyed. “I’m glad that you made this choice, but it’s impossible to let her go first. I know you Huaxia people are cunning. You have to be my descendant first.”

Qin Haodong said, “But what if you go back on your word after I become your descendant?”

“No, she is beautiful, but she’s of no use to our Blood Race.”

Sharapova added, “If you still don’t believe me, I can swear to my ancestors that if I break my promise, I will be purified by the holy light of the Divine Court.”

Qin Haodong shook his head, “I do not trust you. I don’t think an oath will work for a shameless woman like you.”

Sharapova smiled. “Maybe, but do you have any other choice now?”

“You’re right. This is my only choice,” Qin Haodong gave up. “Well, come here. I’ll accept your Embrace.”

“That’s right. It’s great to be a noble Blood Race. You’ll be immortal.”

Sharapova asked Wolffe to guard Xi Youmi and then walked toward Qin Haodong.

There were tears in Xi Youmi’s eyes. She looked at Qin Haodong and shouted, “Haodong, leave this place, I’ll be fine.”

Although he felt that he couldn’t see through her, Qin Haodong could sense her sincere feelings. He smiled and said, “I should not leave a helpless girl alone.”

“That’s right. That’s what a man should do.”

Sharapova came straight to Qin Haodong without much preparation. She believed that this Huaxia man was no match for her if he was not allowed to use eastern tricks.

“Huaxia man, accept my noble Embrace.”

Then she grabbed Qin Haodong’s shoulder with her two sharp hands and was about to bite his neck with her teeth.
