"There has to be a reason, right?" Feng Feiyun asked.
After fighting for an entire night, he was exhausted. Most importantly, there was no rhyme or reason at all. Anyone would feel angry.
"There is no reason either." The princess spoke with certainty.
Her words were like an imperial edict, carrying the might of the heavens. She was like an emperor. Even without a reason, one sentence from her could end someone's life or death.
"There has to be a reason, right?"
Feng Feiyun licked his lips. He felt that there was a language barrier when communicating with this imperial daughter.
"There is no reason either." The princess replied.
"..." Feng Feiyun was speechless.
After putting away his saber, Feng Feiyun turned around to leave. So it turned out that the princess was a madwoman. The best way to deal with a madwoman was to run.
Even if he had to admit defeat today, despite being tired and wounded, at the very least, he would be able to cultivate the Dragon King's Saber Art to seventy percent of its essence. This was not a small harvest. In the future, he might be able to cultivate the second slash.
"Rumble!"
The rumbling of a carriage came from behind him. The carriage flew down from the cliff and stopped in front of Feng Feiyun, blocking his path.
Feng Feiyun had to stop again.
"What else do you want, Princess?"
Feng Feiyun impatiently asked. If she wasn't a princess, he would have dragged this crazy woman out of the carriage to reason with her.
However, outside of emperors, no one had ever dared to reason with a princess since the beginning of time.
The princess pondered for a long time before speaking: "Answer one of my questions and you will pass this trial."
Feng Feiyun had passed four trials, each one more difficult than the last. Princess Luofu was the mastermind behind all of this, as well as the guardian of the last trial.
She was the one who arranged all five trials, so why was she doing this?
What was the benefit of passing all five trials?
What harm was there if he couldn't pass all five?
"It's that simple?" Feng Feiyun was a bit surprised. He felt that the fifth trial would be the hardest.
"Simple?"
Princess Luofu didn't show herself and continued to sit in her imperial carriage. She asked: "The Jin Emperor has 3,000 concubines, 274 princes, and 389 princesses. Who do you think is the most suitable to be the next emperor?"
As soon as this question was asked, the atmosphere immediately changed.
Even the expressions of the eight imperial experts changed slightly. No one dared to talk about the throne, not even the princes and princesses. This was a taboo in the royal family. Even if they accidentally heard it, they would be sentenced to death.
The eight grand achievement God Base experts sealed their senses at the same time and didn't dare to continue listening. Sometimes, being deaf and mute was the only way to survive.
Feng Feiyun rolled his eyes and said: "Well … the current Jin Emperor is in his prime. Even if it's an inheritance, it will take several hundred years."
"I said if!"
A draconic aura rushed out from the imperial carriage. The image of the ten suns of the Golden Crow rushed out with a raging flame in the sky. Ten gigantic golden crows flew around.
"I don't know much about the royal family, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question." Feng Feiyun naturally understood the stakes and knew that some things couldn't be said carelessly.
The princess asked: "Didn't you say earlier that it was very simple?"
"Sometimes, the simpler the matter, the harder it is." Feng Feiyun replied.
"Very well, I'll change the question."
The imperial carriage became silent again as the atmosphere became even more oppressive. After a while, she finally spoke again: "If an empress were to inherit the throne, would you agree or disobey?"
She completely considered Feng Feiyun to be the next Divine King!
"Whoosh!"
Feng Feiyun raised his brows in shock. He hesitated for a moment before answering: "Of course."
She didn't speak again as if she was thinking about something.
Feng Feiyun's mind became serious. He placed his finger on his spatial stone, ready to take out his stone saber at any moment in order to fight to the death.
Since the princess asked such an obscure question, if Feng Feiyun's answer wasn't to her liking, then she would definitely kill Feng Feiyun to silence him.
Some words could kill just by hearing them.
"Let's go!"
After a while, the four strange beasts of taotie were driven by a strand of divine sense, pulling the Eight Tribes Dragon Chariot through the sky. The eight imperial guards in iron armor were suddenly awakened. They released the seals on their bodies and turned into eight rays of black light, chasing after the Eight Tribes Dragon Lady.
What did she mean by this? She had gone through so much trouble to set this up, could it be just to ask a question?
Was she satisfied with Feng Feiyun's answer?
She didn't say anything and just turned around to leave. This was a bit confusing.
"Too shrewd!"
Feng Feiyun stared deeply at the carriage that was flying away. The ten Golden Crows were circling on top of the carriage while emitting a golden vigor like the rising sun.
Princess Luofu sat in the carriage with her eyes closed. She had many thoughts in her mind. She was as beautiful as a fairy and was still in her budding years. However, there was a maturity that didn't match her age. No one could see through her thoughts.
She naturally understood what Feng Feiyun was trying to say. This meant that Feng Feiyun wasn't only a talented genius, he was also a very smart man.
Even if a man was at the Grand Historical level, if he was too stupid, he would still be used as a tool by others and die without knowing why.
Suddenly, Princess Luofu opened her eyes. A cold glint flashed in the depths of her pupils, causing the four taotie beasts to stop.
A figure stood in front of the Eight Steps Dragon Chariot. This figure was valiant and heroic, noble and pure, like an immortal flag standing in the air.
"Shi Yelai, you are blocking my carriage." The princess raised her voice and was a bit angry. A mere servant dared to block her carriage?
Shi Yelai was standing on an Immortal Ascension Lotus with a constellation above him. He looked like an immortal floating in the sky.
He posed with both hands behind his back without the slightest bit of humility. After reaching the Grand Historical level, he no longer bowed down to the princess and didn't want to be her follower. To put it bluntly, he was a servant.
He felt that he was qualified to sit on the same level as the princess and could do things that he didn't dare to do before.
"Your Highness, I have reached the first level of Heaven's Mandate." He confidently smiled with a bit of ethereal charm.
"You are blocking my carriage." The princess emotionlessly said again.
Shi Yelai's smile slightly froze as he said: "I have reached the Grand Historical level …"
"You are blocking my carriage? Do you know what it means to be a servant?
Kneel! "Princess Luofu's voice became a bit colder and merciless.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The eight palace experts clad in iron armor rushed out with pitch-black spears in their hands. They landed in front of the Eight Dragon Chariot like eight black dragons spitting out light as they pointed at Shi Yelai at the same time.
All of them were at grand achievement God Base.
"Shi Yelai, you are only a servant. Her Highness has ordered you to kneel, so why aren't you kneeling?" One of the generals shouted.
"Some people think that just because their wings are strong, they can turn over and become the master. What a joke." Another general sneered.
Shi Yelai clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Scram!"
He waved his sleeve and a white ray flew out. It knocked away one of the generals.
The armor on his body shattered into pieces as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He directly fell down from the sky towards the ground.
"Impudent! Shi Yelai, do you want to rebel?!"
The remaining seven experts all thrust their spears forward at the same time. Black rays connected together as the power of the seven of them pierced forward, causing the void to tremble.
Shi Yelai scowled. The stars above his head trembled as a blinding brilliance shot out from his hand and directly shattered the spears in the hands of the seven grand achievement God Base cultivators.
"Pluff! Pluff! Pluff! Pluff! Pluff!"
The seven of them were gravely wounded at the same time. Their skin burst open as mists of blood gushed out.
With another move, the seven experts were thrown off their feet and sent flying. They were scattered all over the place, like gourds rolling on the ground. They fell a hundred zhang down and covered the entire mountain.
"Luofu, I, Shi Yelai, will not live under someone else's roof forever and be a dog by your side. I want to be a person, your man."
After breaking through the Grand Historical Physique and reaching the first level of the Sky Curtain, Shi Yelai's confidence swelled to an unprecedented level.
He didn't have any misgivings and directly walked towards the imperial carriage. He wanted to board it and enter the carriage that only the princess could enter. He felt that he was now qualified to do so.
Even if the princess didn't want to, he still wanted to go in. Sometimes, a man needed to take the initiative and be tough.
"You want to be a man? Are you worthy?"
Princess Luofu sat in the carriage with a tranquil and dignified expression. She slowly reached out with an ancient divine decree in her hand and threw it forward. A screen of water flew out from the decree with a myriad of rays.
"Boom!"
Shi Yelai's feet hadn't even stepped on the Eight-Divisional Dragon Carriage when he felt a terrifying and boundless power rushing towards him. He wanted to resist, but he couldn't. His whole body was directly sent flying, falling from the sky and crashing onto the ground. A bloody mark was left on his face and the corner of his mouth was full of blood.
The princess dismissively said: "A dog will always be a dog."
The imperial carriage was majestic with a golden light illuminating the sky. It was pulled by the four gluttonous beasts. The carriage was seven meters tall and sped away once more, disappearing into the eastern horizon.
At this moment, the sun rose to the east and gave off the first ray of light of the morning.
…
'Whoa, someone is showing off in front of me, saying that he has a lord now. Bullshit!
What a pain in the ass!
Why doesn't my Grand Spirit Vessel have a lord now? This doesn't make sense. Don't tell me there aren't any rich readers here?
Motherfucker, I'm so pissed off tonight. Whoever gives me a lord now, I'll owe them ten chapters.
I'm going to cry, who's going to be the first lord?
