Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I'll Kill You Myself If I Have To
Process Zhu couldn't stop shivering and her eyes looked at Lu Zhen with fear. "My Lord, have mercy!" His Majesty was shouting as he ran at full speed with his subordinates. What was surprising was how His Majesty had addressed Lu Zhen as My Lord. It took them a few seconds to reach the place but…
Plop!
His Majesty and Her Highness fell to their knees while the rest fainted on the spot. Their heads kissing the ground with pale faces as if they were living in snowy mountains. They were sweating profusely like a sweat tap. They weren't kneeling because they wanted to, they were kneeling because something forced them to. Lu Zhen hadn't retracted his Bloodline Suppression so they were enduring a terrifying pressure. The others simply couldn't withstand it and fainted on the spot.
His Majesty felt his blood stagnate when he felt Lu Zhen's gaze fall on him. Yes, his blood literally stopped flowing. "She is mine now," said Lu Zhen as he pointed at Princess Zhu.
His Majesty couldn't even open his mouth to respond and he knew that Lu Zhen was telling and not asking him. He then retracted his pressure and His Majesty sighed deeply. Lu Zhen looked at Princess Zhu and his gaze changed from being cold to being concerned. "Are you alright?" he was genuinely concerned and was especially worried that she might develop Heart Demons. Seeing Lu Zhen's concerned look, Princess Zhu's emotions went into turmoil. He helped her up and seriously said
"You're my woman now and I'll fight to the death if someone makes you cry, I'll kill all who covet you, I'll gauge the eyes of those with disgusting gazes and lastly, I'll love you for eternity."
Princess Zhu's face became redder than that of a tomato and ran away. Lu Zhen then turned around to look at His Majesty and Her Highness. "This is my gift to you for giving me your daughter."
He talked as if they willingly gave her away but they couldn't and even if they could, they wouldn't complain. Two droplets of blood floated in his palm. He then gave it to them.
"This droplet will not aid in improving your bloodline but it will help in increasing your cultivation levels. Use it well." he entered his courtyard. They were quite disappointed that they couldn't improve their bloodlines but they were soon smiling from ear to ear. His Majesty's cultivation was at fifth stage of the King Realm and this drop of blood was very important to him.
…
Inside his courtyard, Lu Zhen was thinking about how to spend the rest of his time. To him, cultivation would now be a walk in the park so he had to think of something that would be fun and beneficial to him. He then closed his eyes and browsed through his thoughts.
A while later, he opened his eyes with a happy face. "That's it! I'll become an Array Master, I'll think about being an alchemist after finding an alchemy flame." He said to himself.
"Mo Chao!"
"Yes Master!" The First Prince hurriedly entered the courtyard, Lu Zhen asked for his name after accepting him as a servant.
"I want to know where I can obtain these materials." Lu Zhen sent information to his head, Mo Chao browsed through it and frowned. He didn't even know some of the names like Wind Sparrow's feather, Ghost Fox's fur or the Dark Owl's blood.
"The only place that I think might have all these materials is the Holy City."
"Holy City?"
"Yes, the Holy City is the largest city in the world. It is the most flourishing and the most thriving. It is also the only place that is filled with experts and geniuses since it's abundant in Spirit Qi, the largest Sect is also located there as well as the Royal family."
"Aren't you also a Royal family?"
" We are but truly speaking, we are as insignificant as ants there. Our status doesn't amount to anything in the Holy City as well as in their eyes. We might even be executed if they hear that we proclaim ourselves as Royals. It is also rumoured that His Royal Majesty is already at the Unification Realm."
" Interesting! How long will it take us to reach that place?"
"By carriage, at most two weeks but if I take you there personally, it might take a week." Mo Chao meant if he turned into his beastial form.
"Make preparations, we'll use a carriage then. I am not particularly in a hurry."
"Yes Master!"
…
"What did I tell you? Lord Zhu is not so simple. This is the chance our Ancestors are giving us and we have to grasp it with both hands. He is also our son in-law. What more can we ask for." excitedly said His Highness as he chatted with his wife.
"Husband, why don't we capture him and drain all the blood in his body. I'm sure we'll be able to reach the Unification Realm and be acknowledged by the world as a genuine Royal family." said Her Highness. She was quite ambitious and very ruthless.
"Don't be blinded by greed! One mistake and we might lose everything that we've worked so hard for! Don't even think about it. I have a gut feeling that that young man...doesn't fear even a Unification Realm expert." shouted His Majesty. His wife was really courting death by thinking of going against Lu Zhen.
"What if we invite that "Sire" and activate the Array formation left behind by the Ancestors. No person can escape from that Array formation since it's been placed here for many years. That "Sire" can help us suppress him and if all goes well, we might be the strongest in the entire world, we can even expand to other worlds."
"I SAID I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT. IF YOU GO ON WITH THIS PLAN OF YOURS THEN I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF IF I HAVE TO." boundless killing intent filled the entire Palace which scared both the knights and Her Highness.
She knew that His Majesty was not joking and would really kill her if she took things too far.
