Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Kuangren followed Liu Tianxue to a palace in the Slaughter Kingdom.
Inside the palace, he saw the current King of the Kingdom — a white-haired elderly man who looked like he was on his dying breath.
With just one glance, Chu Kuangren knew that the man was at the final stage of Heavenly Deterioration.
He would die soon.
“Father.”
Liu Tianxue bowed and fist-saluted her King while Chu Kuangren stood proud and simply nodded with a calm look on his face.
His nonchalance angered some of the people in the hall.
A young but buff man stood up and shouted, “Audacious! Why aren’t you on your knees before the King? Men, take him down!”
Before the soldiers moved out, the King bellowed, “Halt!”
He coughed and continued feebly, “Monarch Chu is an important guest of our kingdom. No one shall disrespect him.”
The Slaughter Kingdom might not be part of the world, but they were forced to reveal themselves due to the final era.
They got news of the recent rumors of the outside world, and the King knew that the man before his eyes was highly reputable and a difficult opponent.
“Father, this man is being rude!”
The young man tried to argue, but Liu Tianxue explained, “Monarch Chu is also a king of a kingdom. Strictly speaking, he doesn’t need to bow.”
“Hmph. It’s just some random kingdom.”
“It’s a Fortune Kingdom.”
“What?”
The young man looked at Chu Kuangren in shock and disbelief. “He created the Fortune Kingdom? How?”
Not only he but the other princes and princesses in the hall were similarly shocked.
“Someone created a kingdom in this era?”
“Is it true?”
“It must be a lie.”
“Silence!”
The King silenced everyone and then invited Chu Kuangren to his seat.
Chu Kuangren was not shy to sit down.
He originally wanted to take control of the Slaughter Kingdom. Similar to how he took control of the Heavenly Human Sanctuary, he would use force if the others did not obey him.
In addition to his God of Slaughter’s Ring, he was confident he could do it.
Now, he changed his mind.
He believed there might be a show he could enjoy before taking full control of the Slaughter Kingdom.
“Tianxue mentioned you have the God of Slaughter’s Ring, Monarch Chu. That is the symbol of our kingdom, created by the first King. I wonder if you will be so kind as to return it to us? Of course, I’m not asking you to give it back unconditionally. What do you seek in return?” the King asked.
“Is that so? If I said I want the Slaughter Kingdom to submit to the Fortune Kingdom’s regime, would you agree?” Chu Kuangren said with grinned.
His words stunned everyone in the hall.
Then, multiple frosty murderous intent erupted.
“How bold!”
“You bastard! How dare you look down on us when we treated you as a guest? What a disgrace! Men, kill him!”
“Seize him!”
Even Liu Tianxue was shocked.
Submit to the Fortune Kingdom’s regime?
Even though Liu Tianxue had a rough idea of Chu Kuangren’s intention, she did not expect him to make it clear in front of the princes and princesses.
He was arrogant!
“Hahaha! A bold and heroic move indeed!”
Surprisingly, the King was not angry. He laughed and looked at Chu Kuangren with nothing but praise.
Everyone else was stunned once again.
They thought their King, their father, had lost his mind.
“You want the Slaughter Kingdom? Impossible. We’d rather die in war than submit to someone else’s regime,” the King said.
His words boosted the morale of his soldiers, making them stand tall and lift their chests proudly.
The murderous qi on them grew stronger.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren smiled. “How impressive.”
“I admire your capabilities, Monarch Chu. If you’re willing, we can unite our kingdom together. My daughter, Tianxue, is beautiful, capable, and a Monarch. She’ll be a good match for you. 1 can marry her to you, and it will forge a union between our kingdoms. What do you say?” the Slaughter King said.
Not only Liu Tianxue but even the others were shocked to hear their father say that.
Chu Kuangren was disrespectful, and instead of being angry, the Slaughter King wanted to marry his daughter to Chu Kuangren just to form a union between the two kingdoms.
It was absurd, and it made everyone suspect that the King had lost his mind.
“Father, 1 don’t want to marry him,” Liu Tianxue said immediately.
It was not that she disliked Chu Kuangren, but she knew that once she married someone else, she would not be able to inherit the throne.
She, too, was an ambitious person.
Despite her admiration for Chu Kuangren, she would sacrifice everything for the throne.
However, what the King said next continued to shock her and the other princes and princesses in the hall.
“Tianxue, I’m old. I won’t live for long now. Before I die, you are my only concern. You are stubborn but in a good way. Your talents and skills match mine, but you’re just a woman. You have to find someone reliable to take care of you.
“I have high hopes for Monarch Chu. For him to be able to construct the Fortune Kingdom on his own, 1 believe he will be a great match for you. If you and he team up to rule the two kingdoms, brace through thick and thin, our kingdom will surely thrive.”
At first, everyone did not think much of it because the King sounded like a father who was concerned about his daughter’s future.
However, everyone eventually realized the King’s true intention.
Rule two kingdoms?
What did that mean?
Had the King considered giving the throne to Liu Tianxue and marrying her to Chu Kuangren?
The stakes suddenly got high.
The princes who heard the King reacted grimly, especially the Crown Prince, whose eyes were frosty.
He, too, was after the throne, but now it seemed he was not the King’s candidate.
“Has the old man lost his mind? Marrying Liu Tianxue to an outsider and giving away the kingdom? How can he do that?
“He has lost his mind! He definitely has!”
The Crown Prince cursed to himself.
Then, Chu Kuangren said, “I thank you for your offer, Slaughter King, but 1 am a married man and cannot wed your daughter.”
“Is that so? Such a pity.”
The Slaughter King shook his head regretfully before adding, “Since you’re here, Monarch Chu, why don’t you stay for a few days so we can show you our hospitality?”
“That I can accept. Thank you.”
Chu Kuangren smiled and accepted the invitation.
“Men, prepare the banquet.”
The Slaughter King ordered a banquet to welcome Chu Kuangren.
Most of the princes and princesses did not care about the banquet as their thoughts were still on what the King said. It seemed like the King had considered giving the throne to Liu Tianxue and making her the future king.
The thought robbed them of their appetite and mood.
After that, the Slaughter King did not mention anything about the God of Slaughter’s Ring anymore..
