Chapter 1183 A Less-than-pleasant Royal Family Banquet

At that moment, the little sea turtle was lying quietly at the bottom of the water, and Qiao Ran thought it was sleeping.

But when a small fish swam past it, suddenly, its head shot out with lightning speed, and when it came back in, it had the small fish in its mouth.

In this spirit spring pool are some small fry of Azure Water Fish and Spirit Abyss Fish that Qiao Ran released. They grow up drinking spirit spring water every day, and their flesh is incredibly delicious.

But now, these incredibly delicious and expensive little fish fry are being eaten piece by piece by a newly hatched sea turtle.

Then, the baby turtle went back to the bottom of the water and used the same trick to eat three fish fry in a row.

Qiao Ran was speechless. Judging by the turtle's appetite, it would eat all the fish fry in her pond before it even grew up.

Looks like I'll have to throw this guy into the pond outside the yard. There are all sorts of fish there, so I won't feel bad about eating him.

But what Qiao Ran didn't expect was that when she scooped the little sea turtle out and threw it into the pond, the little sea turtle acted as if it were drowning, flailing its legs and desperately trying to crawl to the shore.

It kept getting lost like this, and the last time it even flipped upside down as if it was about to break. Qiao Ran quickly scooped it up and put it back in the spirit spring pool. It took a while to recover.

Is it because sea turtles live in the sea and are not adapted to freshwater environments?

Then why was nothing wrong in the Spirit Spring Pool?

Could this spiritual spring be beneficial and harmless to all living things, even allowing marine life to grow in this small pool?

Thinking of this, she simply took the two bearded toads that she was going to release into the Devil's Valley and put them into the spiritual spring pool.

The two bearded toads swam happily in the water for a while, then jumped to the shore and each found a patch of grass to make their home.

Alright! We don't need to put them in the narrow passage for the experiment. Let them settle down and reproduce here first. We'll put them in the narrow passage again when the tadpoles grow into bearded toads!

Because this bearded toad possesses both venom and an antidote, the two cancel each other out, preventing it from toxicizing the water.

Only by scraping off the venom from its body can poison be made.

One drop of venom can make ten poison pills, and one poison pill can kill an elephant instantly.

Even a venom diluted a hundred times can kill an adult elephant.

Similarly, the liquid scraped from the horns on its lips also has a powerful detoxifying effect.

Therefore, we should raise more of these precious creatures so that we can always have materials to make poisons and antidotes in the future.

After checking on the baby sea turtle and settling the bearded toad, Qiao Ran figured it was getting late, so she left the space. She wanted to take a nap before getting up to stay up with her family to celebrate the New Year.

At this moment, inside the palace.

Mo Beihan was having a rather unpleasant royal family banquet.

Although the current emperor's lineage only has Mo Beihan as a descendant, the lineage of the previous emperor—the Yuan Emperor of Dayue—is thriving.

Now that the throne has fallen into the wrong hands, the descendants of the former emperor are very unhappy, because their status and power have risen and fallen with the change of the throne.

As Emperor Yuan said, his lineage has already had two emperors, and the throne will be inherited by Emperor Jingwu's lineage from now on.

Emperor Jingwu's lineage only had one grandson, Mo Beihan, who was naturally the candidate for the next emperor.

Therefore, if you want to maintain their power and status, you naturally have to maintain a good relationship with them.

For such a ruthless and tyrannical man who is almost ruthless to everyone except his closest relatives, trying to establish a relationship with him is harder than climbing to heaven.

However, if you can arrange a close female friend by his side, whispering sweet nothings in his ear, you won't have to worry about not getting any benefits.

Therefore, on this rare occasion of gathering together tonight, all these uncles, cousins, and other relatives were plotting their own schemes.
