“you little bastard, you have big guts to defy my will!”nôv(el)b\\jnn
inside a glorious palace decked in splendor, a square-faced middle-aged man sat atop the dragon throne, radiating an aura of dignity and prestige, but there was now a hint of anger on his face.
his aura was strong like the sea, with a natural ruler qi. but despite displaying an electric gaze, his complexion was gloomy.
on both of his sides, there were dozens of old experts wearing golden robes, all having white hair. but despite their age, the auras that they gave off were very frightening.
the middle-aged man was precisely the current emperor of the vermilion bird empire, yu xiaoyun. atop his dragon throne was a giant sign: royal family hall.
the royal family hall was only opened to judge matters relating to the emperor’s family, and those who could enter this hall were the highest, noblest existences within the royal family. so, these elders were mostly cousins and relatives of the emperor.
to put it frankly, this hall was only opened when a prince or princess committed a grave taboo. the elders would then decide what to do with them jointly here.
“your majesty, calm yourself. i’ve already asked around. this long chen’s origins are not ordinary, moreover, it’s only natural for a youngster to feel prideful and arrogant.”
there were two spots beside the dragon throne and two beautiful women were sitting there. one of them looked somewhat similar to yu qingxuan. she was yu qingxuan’s mother, and she was the one speaking.
“hmph, youngsters don’t know how high the heavens are. i want to see just what skill he has to dare speak so arrogantly to me,” snorted yu xiaoyun.
hearing this, yu qingxuan’s mother exchanged a glance with the other woman. there seemed to be a teasing expression in their eyes. now, there would be something interesting to watch.
“long chen has arrived!”
after the eunuch at the door shouted, the people in the room instantly turned to see a black-robed man slowly walk in.
“stop! when did i agree to this?!” raged yu xiaoyun. he waved his hand, and before long chen could fully kneel, a wave of power crashed into him.
as a result, long chen was forced back three steps before he could stabilize his swaying body, causing his heart to shake. yu xiaoyun was truly powerful.
that power was not just strong; it was a mix of soft and hard energy. considering long chen’s current strength, someone who could silently push him like this was definitely an absolutely terrifying existence.
as for the others in the hall, seeing long chen able to stabilize himself in three steps, they were all shocked, including yu xiaoyun.
considering yu xiaoyun’s power, under normal circumstances when long chen was caught off-guard, he should have been directly blown outside the palace.
moreover, even if long chen was prepared and unleashed his full power to resist, the earth shouldn't be able to endure that power, and the protective formation would activate.
however, long chen simply retreated three steps. let alone damaging the ground, he didn’t even damage the carpet, which meant that yu xiaoyun’s power was dispelled within long chen’s body, not dispersed beneath his feet. thus, everyone looked at long chen with a new level of respect.
“what? your majesty, are you going back on your word? i don’t think that matches your status, no?” long chen smiled slightly.
when long chen said this, yu qingxuan’s mother smiled. she thought that long chen was quite crafty, grasping this chance to be absolutely shameless. his face was truly thick.
“what nonsense. to kneel to me is to greet the emperor of the vermilion bird empire. now that you have entered the vermilion bird empire, you must abide by the empire’s laws. as the ninety-fifth generation’s emperor, am i not worthy of this?” demanded yu xiaoyun coldly. he didn’t particularly care about this etiquette, but long chen’s expression greatly displeased him.
long chen shrugged indifferently. “ninety-fifth generation, ninety-eighth generation, what does it matter to me? i only offer my respects to you because you are my father-in-law.”
“what shamelessness! your cultivation base is average, and your looks are mediocre. what qualifications do you have to marry my most beloved daughter?!” barked yu xiaoyun.
“my looks are mediocre? have you ever looked in the mirror? even with your looks, you could marry my peerlessly beautiful mother-in-law. so what right do you have to say such a thing to me?” demanded long chen angrily while looking at yu qingxuan’s mother.
at that moment, the entire royal family hall fell deathly silent. all those imperial experts were struck as dumb as wooden chickens.
