Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1401 Flowers, Cow Dung, Nobles

Fengming Qingshan shouted angrily: ”You’re just a King of Heavenly Dragon granted by power, in the end, you’re still nothing but a minion of our Shenhuang Clan. This throne can be given to you, and it can be taken back at any time!”

”Heh, heh, Young Master Green Mountain is absolutely right. This Ling Xiao is audacious and reckless, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, trying to seduce Miss Luo Yu. You shouldn’t let him off easily.”

From the crowd, a cold voice emerged.

Ling Xiao ignored Fengming Qingshan and instead turned his attention to the speaker.

Blue Wave Sword, Mo Cong!

This person is actually not dead?

Ling Xiao was strongly shocked.

Back in Crime City, almost everyone was silenced by the agents sent by Fengming Xiao, including Mo Cong.

Ling Xiao clearly saw this person being killed, how is he still alive?

Moreover, what’s with the strong dark chilling aura emanating from this guy’s body?

It seems his cultivation level is even stronger than it was in Crime City.

The reason he paid attention to Mo Cong was because there were quite a few grudges between him and Blue Wave Island.

Blue Wave Island wanted to kill him, but instead he nearly wiped them out.

Now that island has been taken over by Changle Immortal Island, and the old forces probably only have Mo Cong left.

Will Mo Cong seek revenge?

”You’re wrong. My throne was earned through battle merits, while your father’s position as Emperor was given by the citizens of the Phoenix God Empire. If I recall correctly, this year is the election year, isn’t it? I wonder if that old thing Fengming Immeasurable still has the qualifications to continue the term. So what are you worth?”

Ling Xiao smiled and said.

Fengming Qingshan’s face turned red with anger.

But he did not argue back.

Because he had long heard that Ling Xiao was sharp-tongued, arguing with him was purely asking for trouble.

So he looked at Ji Luoyu and said: ”Miss Luo Yu, you are noble as Medicine King Sun Ran’s disciple and the daughter of Ji Qing, the master of Tianlong Trade Company. How can you mix with a beggar-born human like Ling Xiao? Aren’t you afraid of soiling your reputation?”

”I don’t feel that way at all, actually. Although Ling Xiao comes from a humble background, he is the Heavenly Emperor who established the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, as well as the champion of the Crime City Alchemy tournament, a King of Heavenly Dragon in your Phoenix God Empire, and a genius who has defeated several Phoenix Sons.

I feel that compared to him, you seem far inferior.”

Ji Luoyu’s words were not meant to provoke Fengming Qingshan, but because she truly felt that way within her heart.

The aura surrounding Ling Xiao shone brighter than all his peers.

She couldn’t understand why those who looked down on Ling Xiao were so clueless as to develop such strange opinions.

”Luo Yu, am I really that good?”

Ling Xiao was taken aback and asked.

”Of course! You might not have realized it yourself, but you’re the most popular person in the Phoenix God Empire right now, comparable to you are few and far between. Otherwise, why would I take interest in you?”

Ji Luoyu couldn’t help but let the words slip. She quickly covered her mouth, her face growing red.

Upon hearing Ji Luoyu’s words, Fengming Qingshan and the others became even more indignant.

If Ji Luoyu was just hanging out with Ling Xiao as friends, they could accept that.

But hearing Ji Luoyu’s words, it was clear she liked Ling Xiao, and this made it hard for them to accept.

”Ling Xiao, you coward, if you have guts, stop letting women protect you so I can despise you less!”

Fengming Qingshan glanced at Ji Luoyu and then at Leng Mei, feeling deep wariness towards Leng Mei.

If Leng Mei wasn’t present, he would have already made a move. The reason he didn’t act was purely out of cowardice.

”Then you, as a man, are actually afraid of two women, doesn’t that make you more contemptible?”

Ling Xiao never felt protected by women was a shameful thing.

Being guarded by beauties was also his ability.

Of course, although he said this, Fengming Qingshan was not worth Leng Mei’s intervention.

He stepped forward and said with a smile: ”Fengming Qingshan, I’ve stepped forward now, so what do you want?”

”What do I want?”

Fengming Qingshan frowned and said: ”My only request is that you stay away from Miss Luo Yu. Your status does not match hers at all!

She is a descendant of the Sacred Dynasty’s royal family, and I am a descendant of the Divine Phoenix Emperor. We are the perfect match!

Don’t you think a flower standing next to a beggar like you is like a beautiful bloom sprouting from manure?”

”A flower rooted in manure blooms even more vibrantly, but if you nobles trample on it, it won’t be far from wilting.”

Ling Xiao said calmly: ”You keep talking about worth and perfect matches, but maybe, in others’ eyes, a beggar like me surpasses you nobles and royals in stature.”

Perhaps to match Ling Xiao’s words.

Ji Luoyu suddenly held onto Ling Xiao’s arm, displaying a coquettish demeanor.

This scene left the thousands present red-eyed; Ji Luoyu was actually being lovey-dovey and sending romantic signals to Ling Xiao right in front of them, who could bear such a sight?

”Miss Luo Yu, did Ling Xiao do something to you? He’s an alchemist, did he use some kind of hallucinogenic potion to make you so confused?”

Fengming Qingshan said loudly: ”This guy Ling Xiao is just a ’phoenix man’ looking to climb up high. He’s getting close to you now, but only to use you to reach the Medicine King and Master Ji Qing. Once he’s used you, he’ll kick you aside without a second thought.

I’m different, I genuinely like you, Miss Luo Yu, see what’s right and wrong, don’t be fooled by his sweet talk.”

”He wants to climb using me? Then what about you, Fengming Qingshan? If I were just a beggar, would you still treat me the same way?”

Ji Luoyu coldly glanced at Fengming Qingshan and said: ”Don’t make yourself out to be so righteous and virtuous. You’re not that great. The ones who truly want to use me to get close to my master and father are you, not Ling Xiao!

If Ling Xiao wanted to suck up, he wouldn’t have offended so many people, nor would he oppose many powerful enemies just to defend his dignity and protect his loved ones.”

Cursed and reprimanded by Ji Luoyu’s words, many hung their heads in shame.

Among them were the proud and the talented youth, yet many chose to be other people’s dogs, losing their own thoughts and ambition, acting entirely at the behest of their masters.

On the contrary, Ling Xiao, defying authority, fought against many strong foes to uphold his dignity and protect his loved ones.

That is a true man indeed.

Feeling ashamed, some turned and quietly left.

In a short time, from thousands, it dwindled to merely two to three hundred people.

The remaining were mostly descendants of nobles and royals. They certainly didn’t see themselves as the lackeys Ji Luoyu described, so they felt no reason to leave.
