Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 691 - 689 Gluttonous Feast

Especially upon seeing Shen Qianyi make his move.

Each of them had felt hope was within reach, that as long as Xiao Yi died, the Nantian Dynasty would inevitably launch a major attack, and their nation would be restored. But now, it was clear that Xiao Yi had not fulfilled their wishes, leaving their spirits in a particularly bad state. Now, faced with Jiang Tai's mockery, their countenances were even uglier.

Agitated in their hearts, they wished they could kill Jiang Tai.

"I'd like to see who dares to touch my brother!" Xiao Yi's voice suddenly rang out, causing the faces of those princes from the Four Clouds Kingdom to drastically change.

The fierceness and malice that previously colored their faces vanished, replaced by reverence and flattery, "Xiao... Xiao Zhenguo, we... we were just joking with Brother Jiang Tai!"

"Exactly, we were just joking..."

The princes hastily agreed.

Xiao Yi gave a cold laugh, looked at Jiang Tai next to him, wrapped an arm around his neck, and smiled, "How do you want to deal with them?"

Their faces changed.

They could never have imagined the relationship between Xiao Yi and Jiang Tai being so close.

One must know...

Xiao Yi now was none other than Xiao Zhenguo, whose status was akin to Emperor Qian's, with nobody in the Daqian Dynasty able to shake his authority. And Jiang Tai could be so intimate with him? They dared not underestimate Jiang Tai any longer, their faces displaying flattery and ingratiating pleas, "My lord, it's all our fault for being ignorant. Please, have mercy on us and let us off as if it was just a passing wind!"

"My lord, we were wrong..."

Seeing the color of supplication on their faces.

Jiang Tai, however, sneered and said, "Do as you agreed, you know what to do!"

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at them, "Didn't you hear what the King of Tianqing said?"

The princes looked at each other.

In their eyes was only bitterness, yet they couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Bang!

Bang!

They each struck their own foreheads, blood flowing from their seven orifices, collapsing to the ground.

Xiao Yi glanced at a guard standing by, "Clean this up!"

"Yes!"

The guard promptly stepped forward, carrying the bodies away.

The surrounding powerhouses fell silent, their gazes towards Jiang Tai turning solemn and awe-filled.

All sharp-minded, they understood that Xiao Yi was clearly giving Jiang Tai a show of support, a signal to the world that Jiang Tai's status would be second only to one, and no one could touch him!

Xiao Yi patted Jiang Tai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Take a seat for a moment. After the founding ceremony is over, you and I will have a good drink!"

"No problem!"

Jiang Tai laughed heartily, "I lost to you last time, this time I must drink my share back!"

"Haha, then you don't stand a chance!" Xiao Yi grinned and waved his hand, then headed towards one of the two main seats in the center.

In the Daqian Dynasty, he was a prestigious Xiao Zhenguo, his status on par with Emperor Qian himself, and no one could shake him in the slightest!

"Xiao Zhenguo!"

"Congratulations to Xiao Zhenguo for slaying Shen Qianyi, henceforth the position of the foremost under the Longevity is none other than yours!"

"What kind of remark is that? As if without Shen Qianyi, Xiao Zhenguo wouldn't already be the first under the Longevity!"

The crowd discussed fervently.

Emperor Qian's face was beaming, his lips curving upward slightly, only sitting down once Xiao Yi took his seat beside him, and then he said with a smile, "Congratulations to Xiao Zhenguo, the top of the Heavenly Dragon Ranking is destined to be yours!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand dismissively, "The first place in the Heavenly Dragon Ranking is but an empty title!"

In his heart, he was very clear that being first in the Heavenly Dragon Ranking was merely being the most recognized strongman in Southern State; the true exceptional freaks were hidden within the various sacred places.

At that moment...

The Bai Fa Sword Emperor also returned, dragging a barely alive Fierce Earth Demon Elephant. Its massive body caused a thunderous rumble as it was dragged across the ground, its mountain-like frame indeed a sight for the imperial city's populace: "Is this the Eighth-layer monster beast that rivals the Longevity Secret Realm? Just its presence is enough to keep one at bay!"

"Thank goodness our Great Qian Dynasty has Xiao Zhenguo and Grand Marshal Tianbao, otherwise, just this monster alone could annihilate us all..."

The people exclaimed.

The Bai Fa Sword Emperor gave a fist and palm salute to Xiao Yi and Emperor Qian, "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhenguo, Bai Fa has honorably captured this beast as commanded!"

"You have worked hard, Grand Marshal Tianbao!"

Emperor Qian gave a toothy smile, then turned to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Zhenguo, how do you think we should deal with this monster?"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Since it's a gift from the Nantian Dynasty for our founding ceremony, naturally we can't waste their good intentions."

"You mean?" Emperor Qian asked, startled.

To actually accept this monster?

But upon reflection...

Emperor Qian found the idea of accepting the Fierce Earth Demon Elephant a good choice, after all, it was an Eighth-layer monster, comparable to a Second-layer Human Venerate in terms of combat power!

However...

Xiao Yi cracked a sly smile, his eyes deep like the stars, glinting with the cold sharpness of a blade: "After the ceremony, isn't there a banquet? Such a large beast, we could just slaughter it and cook it, then offer it for the officials and citizens in the city to enjoy together, wouldn't that be even better?"

Hiss!

Emperor Qian and the others couldn't help but inhale sharply.

Damn!

This is a beast of Longevity Secret Realm caliber!

You're just going to cook it into soup?

Would that still be soup?

That would be Spiritual Medicine!

At that moment...

The crowd looked at Xiao Yi with reverence, and the rest was fear!

The corner of Emperor Qian's eye twitched, he had thought of making the Fierce Earth Demon Elephant a national protector beast, but Xiao Yi actually planned to make it into soup?

Emperor Qian hesitated for a moment before probing, "Xiao Zhenguo, this is after all a beast of Longevity Secret Realm caliber, if it were to be a national guardian beast..."

"This Fierce Earth Demon Elephant, a discard of the Nantian Dynasty, for us the Daqian Dynasty to treat it as a national guardian beast would be too degrading," Xiao Yi waved his hand lightly and smiled, "As for a national guardian beast, Your Majesty need not worry, within a month our Great Qian Dynasty will have its own."

A sharp glint flashed across his eyes.

Emperor Qian was taken aback, but he didn't say much more, immediately arranging people to start cooking the Fierce Earth Demon Elephant.

After the series of complex rituals of the founding ceremony...

The Fierce Earth Demon Elephant was finished cooking, apart from the most essence-filled part which was reserved for Emperor Qian, Xiao Yi, and the host of guests, the rest was boiled into soup and distributed among the people of the imperial city. This was meat soup of the Longevity Secret Realm level, no different from precious Spiritual Medicine, even just drinking the soup could prolong one's life, adding a hundred years to one's lifespan.

And what about the Martial Artists?

In a moment...

Following this sumptuous feast, the overall strength of the imperial city's populace elevated by a notch.

Just as Xiao Yi and the others were tasting the soup made from the Longevity Secret Realm level beast, the news also reached the Nantian Dynasty...
