Chapter 446 What secrets are hidden

This startled Sangze and the others awake.

This time, it was actually the Beast King who came.

The Beast King's expression was very unpleasant. As soon as he entered and saw Qiao Xixi, he questioned her, "Where did you hide Ling'er and the others?"

Qiao Xixi almost laughed in anger, "Beast King, who is Ling'er? Is she your pet beast?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Ze arrogantly curled his lips, "Beast pet? This name sounds like a very low-grade beast pet."

The Beast King was speechless after being confronted by the two, and his face turned even uglier.

"Stop playing dumb. Yu Ling and Yu Ye are both my children. The beast soldiers said that you had a conflict with Ling'er yesterday. You were jealous that she was favored by me, so you attacked her. Tell me, where did you hide them?!"

The killing intent in Falcon's eyes was already rising.

Qiao Xixi wasn't angry, since she wasn't the one in a hurry anyway. She stepped aside and gestured to the Beast King to invite him to join her.

"If the Beast King doesn't believe me, then have someone search for us yourself. This is your palace; don't you know whether we can hide people here or not?"

The Beast King snorted and waved his hand, ordering his beast soldiers to search.

When Joey heard the commotion and came over, his face turned black with anger.

"Father, don't be angry. Let them search."

The males stared intently, coldly watching the beast soldiers search the stone houses.

Keyu Palace is where Qiao Xixi and the others are staying temporarily. You can see the whole thing from one end of each stone house as soon as you enter, so there is no place to hide anyone.

The orcs monitoring the Feather Palace also said that Qiao Xixi and the others haven't left since they returned yesterday.

But when the Beast King couldn't find anyone, she immediately suspected Qiao Xixi and the others. She simply felt that if Qiao Yi could sneak away from her with Qiao Xixi back then, she could definitely kidnap her cubs too.

But no, the beast soldiers searched the area and found no trace of Yu Ling and the others. They didn't even find a single hair, let alone a person.

"Beast King, nothing has been found."

"We didn't find it either."

Josie crossed her arms, looking completely at ease. "Beast King, we are truly innocent."

The Beast King coldly snorted, "If I find out that their disappearance is related to you, I'll make you pay!" After saying that, the Beast King tried to leave.

Hey, they've practically groveled in her face, and she just let them leave like that.

"Beast King, I have a bold guess. Would you like to hear it?"

The Beast King paused, his questioning gaze landing squarely on her.

"What do you want to say?"

Qiao Xixi leaned closer to the Beast King, lowered her voice, and her expression became more mysterious.

"The Beast King said, is it possible that their disappearance is related to the source of the Dark Stone?"

"Impossible!" the Beast King denied without hesitation.

Qiao Xixi patiently said, "Beast King, don't rush to deny it. Think about it, is it possible that the monsters in the forest that haven't been completely wiped out also know the importance of this thing? They also know that the Beast King is looking for this thing. If the Beast King finds it first, how will they get it from you?"

This time, the Beast King merely frowned and did not rush to refute.

"Do you think they might kidnap your kids first, and then use the two of them to threaten you into handing over the items once you find them?"

The Beast King's eyes twitched, and Qiao Xixi knew that she had taken it to heart.

It's no wonder she was so deceptive; concern can cloud judgment. To deceive someone, you have to say it when their attention has shifted and their thinking is dominated by subjective desires. That's when it's easiest to succeed.

How could a monster know about this?

"How could we not know? Monsters know the power of the Dark Stone better than anyone else."

Now, the Beast Queen was six-tenths convinced. She turned her gaze to Qiao Xixi, "What's your plan?" "The most urgent thing is to find the source of the Dark Stone, and then send out a message to lure those monsters out. However, I really don't have any more clues, and I don't know what the Beast Queen's side is like..."

The Beast King's gaze shifted several times, but he did not respond.

Qiao Xixi knew that she was interested.

"Beast King, no matter what, I am still your son."

The Beast King believed her even more when he saw the deep affection in Qiao Xixi's eyes.

"You come with me."

"Xixi."

Joey's tone was somber.

Qiao Xixi turned around and gave Qiao Yi a reassuring smile, "Father, I'll go with the Beast King for a while and be right back."

Joey, however, was still worried. "If you're going, then come along."

The Beast King frowned in displeasure and simply said to Qiao Xixi, "Take care of it yourself." After saying that, he turned and walked out the door first.

Qiao Xixi then came to Qiao Yi and the others. "Father, don't worry. I'm still useful to her. She won't harm me. Even if she has evil intentions, I can protect myself. Don't worry."

Falcon and the others were very unwilling, but Josh insisted on going with the Beast King, and they couldn't stop her.

Soon, Josie caught up with the Beast King.

Watching them leave, the males exchanged a glance.

The Beast King led Josie to his palace.

After entering, she dismissed the beast soldiers behind her, leaving only the mother and daughter in the inner hall.

"follow me."

The Beast King glanced at Qiao Xixi, then led her to a large cabinet. He opened the cabinet, removed the animal skin garment inside, and went straight inside.

Qiao Xixi raised an eyebrow; it seemed there was a secret passage inside.

Opening the stone wall behind the cabinet, Qiao Xixi saw layers of seemingly bottomless stone steps.

The Beast King walked straight in.

The passageway wasn't dark; it was illuminated by beads embedded on both sides, providing light that wasn't glaring but still managed to light up the passage.

After walking up the stone steps to the end, the Beast King opened two more stone doors, and suddenly the view opened up.

Behind the stone gate is a tall cave, its walls inlaid with pearls that illuminate the entire cave.

But apart from the pearls on the walls, there was nothing unusual here.

"What is this place."

"This is a place that every Beast King would come to before ascending to the throne. My female mother also brought me here back then."

and then?
The Beast King turned to look at Josie, "My female mother died suddenly, and there were some things she didn't have time to tell me."

Did your mother bring you here before she died?

"That day, she felt a little better and brought me here, but after we arrived, she suddenly collapsed as soon as we started talking about the source of the Dark Stone."

Over the years, she has been searching for what her mother wanted to tell her back then, but to this day, she has not found the answer.

Qiao Xixi recalled what Yao Xi had said and guessed that the Beast King probably hadn't lied to her.

The Beast King was probably going to tell her the secret of the Dark Stone, but due to an accident, he died before he could finish speaking. So this place should be related to the secret she was going to tell.

Josie's fingertips slowly traced across the illuminated beads.
