Chapter 940: Roaring Emperor
With a drop of Divine Blood as congratulations, the effect caused by it was definitely a shock to the whole city.
Although the Country Lord of Zhi Feng wanted to keep it slightly confidential, since this was a congratulatory gift, it was hard to prevent the news from spreading like wildfire. Unless life was killed and blood was shed, it would be impossible to stop the news from spreading.
The news of the Young Master Titan congratulating the Country Lord’s concubine’s birthday banquet with the Divine Blood spread throughout the entire Green Willow City like a hurricane. The Mercenary Guild secretly sent ten troops to leave the city one after another to spread the news. As for the spies lurking in the Green Willow City, they remained lurking in the shadows for a very long time. Now that there was such big news that the Divine Blood had appeared in the world, they were naturally eager to report to their masters.
After inviting Yue Yang to enter the palace, the Country Lord Zhi Feng originally wanted to invite his most beloved concubine of the 88th rank, the beauty Zhu Guang, to come out and greet him.
Zhu Guang heard that the other party sent a drop of Divine Blood as congratulations.
She was surprised and was immediately ecstatic.
However, she was reluctant to come out to thank the distinguished guests.
“My beauty, what are your concerns?” Country Lord Zhi Feng thought that her behaviour was a bit strange. Zhu Guang was also a lively person and she was also the protagonist of the birthday party. How could she refuse to attend if the other party went all the way to send Divine Blood to congratulate her?
“Your Majesty, this concubine thinks that this situation might not be easy. We don’t know each other, but the fact that he could just give out a drop of Divine Blood— how many people in the world could do this? If he came here unintentionally, as Your Majesty said, it would naturally be a good thing. But if he came here intentionally and did it on purpose, then I have to heighten my guard against it! This concubine is just a weak woman and it doesn’t matter if I die, I’m just afraid that Your Majesty’s great foundation will suffer,” As soon as the beautiful Zhu Guang said so, the Country Lord Zhi Feng’s excited mind quickly calmed down. Indeed, there were no benefits for no reason in the world. Even if this Young Master Titan came here unintentionally, wouldn’t it be bad if he fell in love with his concubine?
“Well said, beauty, you reminded me that in the Heavenly Splendour Territory, guarding against others is an essential habit and it is always good to be cautious,” Country Lord Zhi Feng thought for a while before he decided to do something to test the generous Young Master Titan.
“Your Majesty, if you don’t mind, why don’t I arrange for a few beauties to test Young Master Titan’s intentions?” The beauty Zhu Guang was indeed very careful.
The Country Lord of Zhi Feng discussed it with her.
When he came out, he immediately apologised to Yue Yang, saying that his concubine, who was about to have her birthday banquet, was too frightened and unwell because she had been assassinated before, so she was temporarily unable to come out to meet the guests. She also said that in order to express her apologies, the concubine decided to present two stunning beauties in her stead to please Young Master Titan. She promised that she would come out to meet him at her birthday banquet tomorrow and personally take a shot as a gesture of apology.
Yue Yang smiled lightly at the apologetic tone of the Country Lord Zhi Feng.
He took on the role of the eldest Young Master, indicating that he was completely fine and even gave a top-grade Concentration Pill to help the frightened Zhu Guang recover quickly.
As for the two beauties that were presented, he refused them straight away, “Your Majesty Country Lord, your kindness has been accepted. Titan has been engaged since I was a child and it’s an appointment of a noble family. My virtuous wife has yet to enter the door, so Titan does not want to take a concubine.”
When the Country Lord Zhi Feng heard it, he believed that it was 80% of the truth.
The marriages of children from famous families were indeed like this. It was absolutely impossible to choose freely and it was mostly destined early.
In a marriage of the right kind, the legal wife had a lot of power. If she was the kind of controlling wife who wouldn’t allow her husband a concubine and yet the husband still went against her wished, the legal wife was allowed to torture the mistress at will. Even if she was beaten to death, it would totally be accepted as normal. If this young master Titan accepted the two beauties, then things would have been even more doubtful. That was because any descendant of the famous clan would face the problem of inheritance. Being the son of a famous family, it wouldn’t be right for him to fool around… With the Young Master’s refusal, it seemed more natural.
Country Lord Zhi Feng secretly tested the waters— Master Titan was very tightly kept at first as he said little about his family and the Heaven Realm.
But little bits of information would occasionally be leaked out, and that proved his familiarity with the Heaven Realm and the Four Major Families. Country Lord Zhi Feng finally found out the truth— it turned out while this Young Master Titan was travelling around the Western Heaven Realm, he was invited by Young Master Chang Feng to tour around the White River City.
His stop in the Green Willow City was completely unintentional as he just passed by.
When the Country Lord Zhi Feng got this news, he was overjoyed.
From his point of view, this Master Titan was by no means an ‘enemy’ who came here intentionally. Instead, he was just a really famous Young Master who came here unintentionally. Otherwise, how could he tell about his appointment with Young Master Chang Feng and his plans to go to the White River City?
“What did Young Master Chang Feng ask Young Master Titan for? When will you two meet?” Country Lord Zhi Feng expressed his concern in a small way.
“He didn’t let me know of the time. In fact, that guy Chang Feng just escaped from the Earth Demon Palace and his whole appearance turned into a snake-haired grimace. I guess he returned to his family with much damage to his face and he probably just wanted to invite me to the White River City to get something to restore his body and appearance! Are there any rare treasures in the White River City that are worth the efforts of Chang Fengl?” Yue Yang asked in a puzzled tone.
“White River City is not the territory of the Sacred Light Domain Emperor, so Zhi Feng is not familiar with it,” Country Lord Zhi Feng pretended to know nothing.
“Forget it—no matter what, it’s definitely not comparable to my Divine Blood,” Yue Yang showed off like a rich second-generation inheritor.
Hearing what he said, the Chief Steward Ye and the Captain of the Country Lord’s personal guard were secretly amused.
The Country Lord of Zhi Feng was at peace in his heart, too.
It seemed that this Young Master Titan really didn’t know anything.
When the sky was getting dark and the surrounding candles were lit, the Country Lord Zhi Feng saw that the captain of the guard, Zhong Guan, floated in and whispered in the ear of Master Titan. He saw the unhappy face of the Young Master Titan, but he put down the glass and asked, “Is there any good news from Captain Zhong Guan? Sit down and have a drink!”
Zhong Guan bowed as a sign of respect, but he waved his hand to refuse the banquet, “Thanks you Country Lord for your thoughtfulness,but the Young Master should not be drinking too much. If he ends up drunk here, there might be a chance that he might do something he would regret once he sobers up.”
Yue Yang feigned anger and threw away the cup, “Fine fine fine, you care so much even if I just take another glass or two— I don’t want to drink anymore!”
He was so angry that he didn’t even say goodbye to the Country Lord Zhi Feng as he left.
Zhong Guan smiled bitterly.
However, the Country Lord Zhi Feng and the others didn’t mind.
On the contrary, they understood it very well. It didn’t matter how many glasses he wanted to drink, especially for the particularly noble Young Master Titan. But if he were to stay overnight, it would probably be unlikely. Whether it was for his safety or for his life, there were certain restrictions. When entering someone else’s palace, his safety would naturally be difficult to guarantee entirely. There was also an important item with him as well. If he were to stay overnight, he would inevitably have beautiful women to accompany to sleep. If he accidentally had any offspring, it would not be tolerated for the legal wife, who had yet to enter the door and hadn’t ensured her son would have the rights for inheritance.
Therefore, for a well-known disciple like Master Titan who was yet to marry, it was a ‘dark period’ for him and it was his most ‘unfree’ time.
Country Lord Zhi Feng understood very well in his heart; he knew why this Young Master Titan was bored and wandered everywhere. The reason was because he had no freedom and was bound everywhere. However, according to the performance of this Young Master Titan, he was probably about to get married soon. This was the last trip before marriage, he assumed; otherwise, there was no reason to refuse the two beauties without even thinking.
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry, Zhong Guan apologises on his behalf. We shall take our leave and congratulate you tomorrow,” Zhong Guan took the blame and apologised profusely before he quickly followed Yue Yang’s retreat.
“This Master Titan is 99% real!” The Country Lord Zhi Feng was very happy.
After returning to his concubine’s bedroom, he affirmed the identity of student Yue Yang to his beloved beauty, saying that after repeated trials, he had determined that this kid was not an enemy who came to find fault with them. However, the beautiful Zhu Guang was still dubious. But the fact made it difficult for her to deny it. Even if he was an enemy, who would use something as precious as a Divine Blood as a gift? No matter how stupid the enemy was, wouldn’t it be more conspicuous to do so?
On the other side, in Ming Ri Hao’s residence.
Ming Ri Hao used the Roaring Emperor’s Roaring Magic and he drooled as if he was taking a shower, “Did you take the wrong medicine? What kind of crazy idea do you have in mind to give the Divine Blood as a gift? There is nothing more stupid than this! There is nothing! I don’t think you are usually a fool, but how could you do such a foolish thing?”
Student Yue Yang wiped the saliva from his face with a towel and said with a smile, “People always have to do a few stupid things occasionally to look like a normal person!”
Ming Ri Hao was almost mad.
No matter how confused he was, he couldn’t just use something like the Divine Blood to give as gifts, right?
Once the Divine Blood was given out, no one in the entire Heaven Realm would be able to reject it— that was Divine Blood!
In broad daylight, he took it out in public and gave it as a gift! Wasn’t it obvious that others will attempt to snatch it?! Even Ming Ri Hao wanted to rob this kid, let alone outsiders.
“If you have Divine Blood that is useless, you can give it to me; why did you give it as a gift? Will that guy Zhi Feng appreciate you? He won’t! He will only laugh at you as a nouveau riche in secret! Besides, I guess It won’t take long for you to make a mess in the entire Green Willow City and it will definitely become a place of war. If Zhi Feng doesn’t have time to devour the Divine Blood and it falls into the hands of the Domain Emperor sooner or later, getting it back will be difficult! As soon as you tell others that you have Divine Blood, what will the guys in the Central Palace think? What will they think? You’re not even trying to carry out plans and spying on your enemy; you’re practically going in blind with the intention to make things collapse— this is messed up!” Ming Ri Hao’s face was contorted with anger.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s messy, they’re the ones fighting in the chaos. Why don’t we just pick things up from the middle?” Yue Yang didn’t worry about the disappearance of the Divine Blood at all— even if the Country Lord Zhi Feng swallowed it, Yue Yang would kill him and dig it out in from his body before refining it well.
Anyway, he had the Nirvana Flame and the Innate Sword Qi. As long as there was the Divine Blood, any state of it was capable of restoration.
In addition, it was impossible for the Country Lord of Zhi Feng to swallow theDivine Blood immediately.
If he really did that, he would be a real fool and he would definitely die. In the abnormal state of absorbing the Divine Blood, even the Captain of his personal guard would definitely take the opportunity to kill him and obtain it, let alone the other guards of the palace. If he wants to absorb the Divine Blood, he would have to find a safe place. It would take a few months to slowly integrate with it and absorb it before he could completely convert the Divine Blood for his own gain.
Not everyone had Yue Yang’s Nirvana Flame and not everyone had Yue Yang’s Innate Sword Qi either!
Ming Ri Hao was tired of scolding him and he finally sighed, “Okay, since things have developed into this. Tell me, what should I do next?”
