Beastmaster of the Ages

There were 24 hours in a day and Meow Meow wasn’t awake for most of it. It was no wonder it volunteered to be the butt of the joke.

”Amazing! I should call you Master Cat!” Bai Ye said with praise and shock.

The beasts’ chattering got louder and louder, making the three female imperatores and their imperial-son friends look at them even more coldly.

Cang Shentu already felt unhappy about the situation to begin with and smirked. ”I didn’t think that the Skyplunder imperial son isn’t just arrogant, but also crude and uncultured. You don’t deserve these magnificent imperatores at all.”

His 70-thousand-meter-tall form emitted eye-catching sword intent that radiated absolute majesty. The sword ki that poured out of his gaze seemed almost physical and landed on Tianming, putting pressure on him.

”Enough with the jokes. Deserving or not, they’re legal wives of mine. What right do you have to dispute our legitimate marriage?” Tianming didn’t even meet his gaze.

The four female imperatores’ expressions turned stiff. The marriage was indeed legal and per their agreement. The mere thought at how sour they felt about it back then made their chests feel tight. However, they soon stopped caring about it and decided to set up this charade to put an irremovable stain on Tianming’s reputation.

Before Cang Shentu could reply, Tianming turned to the soft Imperator Tong and said, ”You vile wives, move aside. I will discipline you all later.”

He sounded genuinely mad from his tone of voice. Imperator Tong didn’t quite know what to make of it, but she didn’t get mad. Instead, she seemed somewhat timid as her petite form clad in a long, yellow goose gown moved to the side, ready to watch the show play out. She had planned to have Cang Shentu and the rest stay there only until Tianming returned, and they had achieved that goal. But with how Tianming was seemingly suppressing his rage, there seemed to be more to this.

”Looks like he’s getting into his role,” Imperator Long said as she came from the hall and stood beside Tianming’s side, feeling his ’rage’ and smiling.

The three other imperatores also thought that no man could possibly endure such a slight. Then again, what could Tianming do about it? None of the people there was someone he could take on, especially with his skypole stars deactivated. As far as they were concerned, Tianming would be forced to endure emasculation and humiliation as they continued to fool around with other men. When word of this spread, it would be a scandal that would affect all the sky plunderers and Nullity as a whole, which was more than enough to achieve their goals.

”Hahahaha!” Cang Shentu calmed down and smiled, knowing who among them was the most pissed off. ”Forget it. Since the imperial son has returned, we should give him some face. What do you think, Imperial Son Lin and Imperial Son Long?”

”What? Give Li Tianming face? Who does he think he is?” Lin Xiaoting rose and smiled. ”Then again, we are in their turf, so we can’t go all out and have fun. Let’s take our leave for now. Beautiful lady imperatores, please visit me at Violetblitz soon.”

”I shall take my leave too,” Cang Shentu said politely before bowing to Imperator Tong, his eyes filled with affection and respect. The former was an intentional display for Tianming, while the latter contained his true feelings. He knew better than anyone that his talent and resources weren’t enough to make Imperator Tong take true interest in him. There wouldn’t have been a need to wait so long otherwise. All he was there to do was to play a role with the imperatores to mess with Tianming.

”Wait a second. Cang Shentu, right?” Tianming raised his hand and pointed the tip of his sword at the imperial son that was taller than him. ”I won’t let you go without leaving something behind after you came all the way to my turf for this clown show.”

As he spoke, his sword seemed to shudder and buzz. Imperator Long and the rest wondered if Tianming was actually on the brink of extreme rage. They narrowed their gazes with caution.

”Little Imperial Son, are you certain?” Cang Shentu said, emphasizing ’little’ with an insulting tone. ”I am the imperial son of Aquamarine. If you get your men to stop me from leaving, you would be going against the norms that the Adjudicator set out. Are you willing to trigger a war?”

”Who said I was going to get others to stop you for me?” Tianming spoke in a calm tone, but his gaze made him appear like his rage was at the brink of eruption. ”Let’s have a duel to the death. Do you dare to take me up on it?”

All of them were utterly flabbergasted. They didn’t think that a request like this would come from Tianming’s side. There was no way he could possibly take on someone like Cang Shentu. Even though he was double his former size at 40 thousand meters, Cang Shentu was almost double his size at 70 thousand!

”Oh?” Imperator Tu, dressed in a stunning red dress of flame, smiled. ”Dear Husband, stop joking around. We are all friends here. There’s no need for you to get mad.”

Imperator Long took a step forward and spoke with an authoritative tone. ”That’s right. The Realm of Chaos is in a time of peace. Let’s not let conflict start that easily. You are not Cang Shentu’s match. If you die here from your careless behavior, the peace would be ruined and war would follow.”

She was merely testing the waters. If Tianming really did fight Cang Shentu to the death, it would be a favorable outcome for her. She had a rough idea of how powerful Cang Shentu was, after all. However, the nonstop miracles that Tianming had created in the Realm of Chaos made her wary.

”Hehehe...” Tianming looked Imperator Long in the eye, knowing full well what she was thinking. But he couldn’t care less. His apparent rage was all pure acting. His act of trying to feign calmness but letting some rage slip out was a way to convince them that he had fallen for the trap.

This was the only way for him to overthrow the plot of branding him as a cuckold. All he had to do was to paint the palace walls red with the blood of one of them! If he was far too calm, they would figure out that something was off. Even after his act, Imperator Long was still somewhat on her guard, so he would just ignore her and focus on the rest.

”Imperial Bastard of Aquamarine, get the fuck over here for a duel!” Tianming’s massive body rose into the sky above Kunruler Palace, his sword in hand. His cracked eyes glowed with raging divine flare as they looked down at Cang Shentu.

The whole of Skyplunder Capital sat at the edge of their seats in anticipation!
