Monarch Of Time

Chapter 308 - 308 Father-in-law

At the same time that Shun Long appeared outside the palace gates with his aura completely retracted, deep inside the palace, a banquet was taking place in the main hall.

In front of a large table that was filled with all kinds of delicacies, including various different types of meat from rank 1 and rank 2 magic beasts, as well as plenty of wine, 7 people were seated and watched the beautiful young girls who were dancing in front of them.

Surprisingly, in the seat of honor at the head of the table wasnʼt the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼsʼ king, but an old man seemingly around 70 years old, who was dressed in green robes.

The old man was 1.7m(5.6ft) tall, with long white hair and a thick beard. His black eyes were filled with unconcealable d.e.s.i.r.e as he looked at the young girls who were dancing in front of him, while his hands were filled with the meat of the rank 2 magic beasts in front of him.

On the old manʼs right were 2 middle-aged men seemingly in their early 50s, who looked very much alike each other.

Despite their similar appearances however, the 2 men had completely different temperaments.

One of them seemed interested in the banquet in front of him, and was happily chatting and laughing with the old man next to him, while his eyes looked at the young girls who were dancing in front of him, and his hands were occasionally rubbing their b.r.e.a.s.ts and butts.

In sharp contrast, the man next to him seemed completely indifferent to the women around him, and was only interested in the food on his plate.

If one paid close attention however, they would see his gaze stealing glances at the guards inside the hall, like a hungry beast that was staring at its prey and was l.i.c.k.i.n.g its lips.

On the old manʼs left was a young woman seemingly not a day older than 20 years old.

Her appearance could probably be considered plain if it wasnʼt for her largely disproportional-placed eyes.

Her bright red dress that was decorated with golden roses was obviously trying to make the young woman the center of attention in the hall.

The woman however, didnʼt seem to care about the old man who was sitting on her right, and was instead staring gently at the young man who was sitting next to her, while affectionately holding his arm.

The young man who seemed to be around 26 years old, had a bright smile on his face as he looked at the young woman next to him, completely ignoring the enchanting dancers around him.

If one observed carefully, they would see that this young manʼs sharp nose and high cheekbones greatly resembled the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼsʼ kingʼs, Dong Weifengʼs.

His bright blonde hair and spirited brown eyes, made the young manʼs identity obvious to anyone who was familiar with the royal family of the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼ.

This was the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼsʼ third prince, as well as Dong Weifengʼs third son, Dong Lingyuan.

She was wearing a bright yellow dress with the crest of the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼsʼ royal family on it, and was looking at the red-dressed young woman next to Dong Lingyuan in a fawning manner.

This woman was the kingʼs, Dong Weifengʼs second concubine, as well as Dong Lingyuanʼs mother.

As for the middle-aged man next to her who seemed to have a spirited look in his eyes despite sitting at the very edge of the table... it was Dong Weifeng, the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼsʼ king.

As the third prince, Dong Lingyuan looked at the young woman next to him, he had a bright smile on his face as he asked

ʼʼXiao Yi, are you enjoying this feast? I made sure to personally choose the meat of the best rank 2 magic beasts around the kingdom, including the meat from a rank 2 ʼEarth-trampling boarʼ!ʼʼ

The young woman, Xiao Yi nodded her head happily as soon as she heard Dong Lingyuanʼs words, before she turned her head to the old man next to her, and with a joyous look on her face she said

ʼʼDaddy, big brother Lingyuan really tried hard for this banquet. Shouldnʼt you praise him a little as well?ʼʼ

The old man who was sitting in the seat of honor nodded his head, and with a smile on his aged face that made him seem more evil than amiable, he answered

ʼʼIndeed brat, you really tried hard to find good women today. I am satisfied.ʼʼ

ʼʼAs long as senior Wei Tai is satisfied, then this all that matters to this humble junior.ʼʼ

The young woman Xiao Yi pouted as soon as she heard this, and with a look of anger she then interjected

ʼʼWhat ʼsenior Weiʼ? Big brother Lingyuan, shouldnʼt you call daddy your father-in-law?ʼʼ

The middle-aged man who was sitting next to Wei Tai nodded his head and said laughingly

ʼʼHahaha! Right brat! Now that you are the only one left in this kingdom, are you perhaps trying to go back to your word?

Hehe, perhaps you never cared about little Wei Yi to begin with, and you only wanted Wei Tai and us to help you become the king huh? HAHAHA!ʼʼ

The middle-aged man erupted in laughter, but both Wei Taiʼs and the young womanʼs Wei Yiʼs faces instantly darkened as they looked at him.

Cold sweat started to drip from Dong Lingyuanʼs head, and shaking his head without any hesitation, he hurriedly held Wei Yiʼs hand with both hands before he answered

ʼʼSenior Zhu Zan, your words are mistaken. How could I not care about Xiao Yi? I was just reluctant to call senior Wei Tai ʼfather-in-lawʼ, since me and Xiao Yi arenʼt married yet.

However, if Xiao Yi is so insistent and doesnʼt want to wait for our marriage, then of course I will comply with her wishes.ʼʼ

Wei Tai nodded his head, and looking at Dong Lingyuan with a smiling face he then spoke in a seemingly casual tone

ʼʼOf course you care about Xiao Yi brat! After all, there was no way that you would have simply seduced her, just to have me help you acquire this small kingdom, right? I am sure that you would clearly understand the consequences in such that case...ʼʼ

Seeing the cold look deep inside Wei Taiʼs eyes despite his smiling face, Dong Lingyuan felt like he had fallen into the deepest depths of hell, before he hurriedly nodded his head in acknowledgment.

At the same time, Dong Weifeng took a deep breath, and looking at the old man, Wei Tai, he couldnʼt help saying in a weak voice

ʼʼHowever... senior Wei... you shouldnʼt have dealt with Shun Fang and Shun An like that...

After all, I even told you that their son was a member of the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ, and that he even has a black dragon...ʼʼ

Everyone in the hall turned their attention to the king, Dong Weifeng, but contrary to the kingʼs expectations, both Wei Tai, Zhu Zan, and the other middle-aged man next to him had mocking looks on their faces when they heard his words.

With a smile on his face, Wei Tai rubbed the b.u.t.t of the young woman who was dancing in front of him, and looking at Dong Weifeng he said in a casual tone

ʼʼA member of the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ? Hehehe... Dong Weifeng, you donʼt seem to understand, so let me explain this to you.

Even if one is a member of the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ, unless they are an inner disciple or an Elder, they wouldnʼt have reached the Heaven grade just yet.

From all the disciples that enter the sect, how many people actually reach the earth grade?ʼʼ

Seeing the look in Dong Weifengʼs eyes that was still filled with worry, the old man Wei Tai continued

ʼʼAdditionally, even if he manages to reach the Heaven grade eventually, arenʼt there 3 Heaven grade experts here today? How do you think a 3 against 1 fight with a newly advanced Heaven grade cultivator would go in the future?

Hehehe, didnʼt we already handle his father as well?

If you are worried about the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ sending reinforcements, I can assure you that as long as someone chooses to meddle in the matters of the ʼMortal worldʼ, they will have no assistance from a huge sect.

As for that so-called black dragon... hehe, donʼt make me laugh-ʼʼ

BOOOM!

The door of the palaceʼs main hall was suddenly sent flying from the outside by a powerful punch, attracting everyoneʼs attention.

The music in the hall had suddenly stopped, and the young women stopped dancing, as everyoneʼs eyes were suddenly focused on the hallʼs entrance.

In his right hand, there was an illusionary purple-colored blade, and despite the fresh blood that had stained his robesʼ sleeves with a reddish hue, not a single drop of blood seemed to have tainted the purple blade itself.

Behind the handsome young man was a peerlessly beautiful young woman, who slowly followed him inside the hall. The cold look on her face didnʼt diminish her beauty in the slightest, while her bright white robes that were in sharp contrast with her bewitching black eyes, only served to accentuate her beauty even further.

Her face that seemed to have come out of a picture itself only stared at the people inside the hall for a moment, before it once again focused on the young man in front of her. The coldness in her look finally melted, giving rise to an even more beautiful scene for the people inside the hall, who were all stunned for a moment.

The kingʼs, Dong Weifengʼs eyes, only stared at the gorgeous young woman for a single moment, before his eyes were once again focused on the blue-robed young man.

An aura of majesty was coming from the young manʼs body, like a king who was looking at a group of unimportant commoners, whose life and death had no meaning to him.

And yet, at the same time, inside the young manʼs black eyes was a cold look that could freeze anyoneʼs soul in an instant.

Dong Weifengʼs mind seemed to have frozen when his eyes landed on the young manʼs face.

His voice, despite being lower than a whisper, resounded in everyoneʼs ears as he stuttered and spoke fearfully

ʼʼShu- Shun Long!ʼʼ
