A Journey Against the World
Chapter 77

Xui Sukong sighed, this time his breathing was heavier than before. Sakura looked at her husband, she knew what he was thinking now. Surely about the many royal officials who resigned because they did not accept Shua Xie to lead them.

The meeting took a lot of time because Xui Sukong as the King they must also be able to act decisively and wisely so that no fatal mistakes occur in the future. Moreover, the number of royal officials who resigned and were also issued, as Shua Xie remarked to Xui Sukong, he did not inhibit or forbid them from leaving.

"My husband, you just breathed so much. Are you still thinking about their problems? If you doubt we lost many royal officials, why not stop Miss Shua Xie? I'm sure the girl will understand if you explain," Sakura said softly as she looked at her worried husband. Seeing Xui Sukong contemplating a lot while continuing to sigh heavily, there must be a lot of things in Xui Sukong's head.

Xui Sukong raised his head slightly, at his gaze his wife was tenderly loving, seething in his mind was always his wife who could understand his circumstances. It was not wrong for Xui Sukong to marry her first, even if this wife used to be a comfort woman in a brothel. But in fact Sakura never allowed herself to be tainted by any man, until she finally fell in love with Xui Sukong and got married.

"No, I'm just wondering why Miss Shua Xie just let them go. If they leave, it is likely that the kingdom of Bora will weaken, but fortunately the soldiers are still loyal to the kingdom." With a heavy heart, Xui Sukong was hard pressed to let go of the many officials who were now only recounting the Royal Adviser, General Xiaotian, the Minister of defense, and Xui Sukong himself. The rest have already resigned and been expelled.

Sakura approached her husband and rested her head on Xui Sukong's shoulders, smiling thinly Sakura looked at Xui Sukong's face up close. The mighty handsome face does not fade even though it has been 16 years, Sakura herself wondered why her husband is so durable easy and handsome.

"Miss Shua Xie must have his own plans, I admit that even though he was so young, but his thoughts were beyond his years. Even she also bore a heavy burden, not even a sixteen-year-old young girl accepted the reality of her life."

Xui Sukong was slightly stunned but still chose to smile, gently stroking the head of the wife, "You're right, the future Queen of the Sky kingdom is indeed very genius. I admit that, too" she replied gently.

"Then will you one day leave me and Chen Xui here? I mean you will go to the kingdom of Heaven and devote yourself there," Sakura asked as she looked seriously at her husband. She asked that because she remembered her husband's words when dealing with Shua Xie.

'Will devote himself to the Shua Xie until the end of his life.'

Of course Sakura was very surprised to hear her husband say that, no doubt one day she would definitely be left behind in order to devote herself to the Queen of Heaven. But Sakura never expected that to happen, hopefully that was just her thinking.

Xui Sukong's hand stopped stroking Sakura's hair, and she stared at him. The question that had just come out of Sakura's mouth was able to make her beat fast, not out of love but out of surprise and worry. It was not wrong for Sakura to ask such a thing, because indeed one day it would happen to her. Oath Xui Sukong serve the kingdom of Heaven will not be able to deny let alone forget, if one day Shua Xie asked him to leave the Underworld and come with Shua Xie, it is certain he must leave it.

Xui Sukong was stunned for a moment but he smiled again, "Miss Shua Xie will not have the heart to separate my family, you know he cares about us very much. He himself said that he would protect the Xui family even if his life was a bet, do you doubt his words, dear?" it ends with a question.

"It's not my intention to doubt it, it's just that I'm afraid that one day you will leave me and Chen Xui, just like our Princess Xui Sha. Somehow how is it doing now?" sakura replied softly as she lifted her head back from her husband's shoulders.

But before his head was far away from his shoulders, Xui Sukong immediately restrained his wife's head and again realized his wife's head was on his shoulders. Sakura was a little surprised then looked at her husband.

"Lieutenant Go Fei must have found Xui Sha. It had been a year and a half that Lieutenant Go Fei had not returned, meaning he was still looking for Xui Sha. Let's just wait for news from him, I got word from the bird message he'll be back tomorrow."

"really? Let's hope he brings good news," Sakura replied happily with a smile.

Xui Sukong nodded in agreement to his wife's words then he gently dyed Sakura's forehead making Sakura stunned again. Even though they have been married for a long time, Sakura continues to be surprised at the treatment of her husband's affection, because lately Xui Sukong was preached about the selection of prospective Lightning sect disciples who will be held in Yufeng city, precisely in the Golden Pillar kingdom. 5 The kingdom agreed to hold a large selection that invited all young Cultivators in the central mainland to join the match, which will be held in 2 days, again, but the participants are expected to come tomorrow in Yufeng city so that they do not miss the information from the organizers. Of course, much time-consuming Xui Sukong to almost forget his own family, Sakura also missed his affection. No wonder she was shocked at the sudden treatment of her husband.

Shua Xie had indeed become the King of Bora, but neither the King nor the Queen wanted him to take up the post. He knew the post was more suitable for Xui Sukong and his wife, Shua Xie just wanted to lead this kingdom without a position. That alone was nothing more, if the matter of the kingdom he would not interfere, but if the matter of enlarging the territory of the kingdom he would interfere. Because Shua Xie believed Xui Sukong would not disappoint his people.

No wonder the various tactics that Shua Xie learned in his first life from his father he could use in his second life, even a lot of information advancing the welfare of the people he told Xui Sukong. Of course, in order to help in the current leadership of Xui Sukong.

"What about tomorrow? Who from the Bora royal family will be taking part in the match?" sakura asked changing the topic.

Xui Sukong paused for a moment and replied, "Not a match, but a selection. The participant who escaped would become a disciple of the Lightning sect, if competing, the statement sounded like he was fighting the genius of the five royal parties. We agreed there was no grudge so we made a massive selection event so that many young Cultivators from outside even within the city could follow suit. The Lightning sect party also agreed to it, even the main Elders of the Lightning sect would come to the selection event itself."

Sakura's small mouth formed a round while nodding in understanding listening to her husband's justification, "Like that yeah. Then who from the Bora royal family will follow the selection?"

Xui Sukong smiled, "I will send our four best easy generations. Chen Xui, Xui Cuisha, Xui Miaoyu and Shua Xie will disguise themselves as Xui Sha. I've seen their potentials are all very good, even above their average age, despite Miss Shua Xie's lowest cultivation, but I'm sure she's hiding her true strength. Or maybe he didn't realize he had a hidden power."

Xui Sukong admitted that Shua Xie's cultivation was among the slowest of his generation, not knowing what factors slowed him down. But Xui Sukong could feel the presence of a huge aura from within Shua Xie's body that was held back for some reason, but it was certain that one day the huge aura had already come out, Xui Sukong was confident he would not be able to withstand that aura.

You need to know Xui Sukong has a little expertise from seeing the aura of every living creature, he can feel all the aura of living things from small to large. This advantage he got because he was a descendant of the Sky clan, in fact Xui Sukong initials original Shu Feng Min. However since he was in the Underworld, he hid his real name as well as his identity, he only said he was a former servant army of the Sky kingdom not a descendant of the Sky clan. Only his wife knows his true identity.

Xui Sukong was indeed a descendant of the Sky clan, yet he was not a pure descendant like a noble family. And also the red eyes only belonged to the pure noble families of the Sky clan.

"really so? How powerful?" ask Sakura enthusiastically.

"Very strong, I was horrified to imagine that power. It was like he was shouldering great strength, yet still he could not bring out. There might be certain keys to all that power to unlock."

Sakura as a Cultivator but not too strong could only be shocked to hear her husband's remark, if her husband said Shua Xie's strength was huge, then how big was that power? Sakura knew Xui Sukong could sense one's strength and aura just from looking at it, even if from a distance.

"So terrible? Are all the pure descendants of the Sky clan indeed monstrous like monsters? Even you who are not pure descendants are already very strong, then what about pure descendants? But it was a wonder why all of them were able to lose when Lou Zo attacked? Is Lou Zo stronger than the Sky King?"

Xui Sukong took a breath and exhaled a bit harshly, "Lou Zo won because he brought the Demon King. The Demon King of the Heavenly world, so naturally King Shujin Xian could not win against him, because it was indeed the reality of the Demon King's strength above that of King Shujin Xian. We all can't deny we only look like ants in the eyes of a Demon King. But the Demon King was being sealed at the moment, not knowing when he would rebel again. But I hope he'll be sealed forever."

***

Shua Xie stared intently at the young man who had just hit him, as well as the other way around. When he heard Shua Xie say he was trash, he immediately stopped and looked at Shua Xie.

Shua Xie smiled sinisterly before he looked at Chen Xui and the others.

"I'm lazy to have problems today, if you want to fight tomorrow. Or maybe the day after tomorrow, I still have a lot to do. Chen Xui come in ...."

Shua Xie stepped in regardless of the group of young men, initially intending to beat them all up for not having manners, but because Phoe reminded him. I don't want him to listen to Phoe, it's true Phoe said.

Shua Xie's time is precious, it's a waste of energy to serve them all.

Chen Xui looked at Xui Lang and Xui Cuisha while nodding his head, requesting that the two cousins immediately follow Shua Xie inside.

But not ten steps Shua Xie walked, suddenly a loud scream called out to him, Shua Xie reflex immediately stopped with a lazy face. Lazy to hear that voice which was none other than Xui Lang the cowardly boy.

Shua Xie turned around and looked at Xui Lang who was looking at him with a sad and fearful expression, which according to Shua Xie should not be issued to a man.

Shua Xie could see the young man who had been nudging him was pulling Xui's collar up to immerse Xui Lang's neck. The young man holding the collar of Xui Lang smiled sinisterly towards Shua Xie, as if hinting at him, your comrade I have grasped if you leave then I will beat him up.

Shua Xie snorted softly, "Oh, come on .. I was lazy to fight today." Restrained for a moment returned his cold facial expression, accompanied by a sharp look at the young man, "But if you dare to injure him with your hand, believe me separating your hand from the place is not difficult for me."

A moment of sudden silence when Shua Xie began to put on a serious look and even uttered threatening remarks. Not long after the sound of laughter bursting out loud made everyone who had been tense now stare at the source of the laughter, a young man clutching Xui Lang's collar burst into laughter.

"You cut off my hand? What kind of joke is that?!

"Sweet girl, your face is so pretty that I wasn't focused on walking. You are better suited to be a concubine or empress so as not to fade your beauty! What if you were my lover and served me every ha-"

Not finished talking the young man spoke, suddenly his hand that had previously been clutching the collar of Xui Lang's shirt was taken out of place. Xui Lang himself was instantly shocked violently and surged in disdain while releasing the hand piece that held his collar.

The young man who had been speaking contemptuously turned into a loud scream as his hands separated from his body, while screaming he stepped back 3 steps until finally the young man fell to his knees on the ground while holding his right shoulder which continued to bleed.

Everyone looked towards Shua Xie who had suddenly appeared near and cut off the young man's hand, whether he had moved and when he had drawn his sword? No one could see it, it all happened so fast.

The fellow youth who was already kneeling on the ground immediately took a few steps back as Shua Xie who was walking over approached his now severely injured partner, of course they are very afraid if they are the next target. Shua Xie stared flatly at the young man, without caring the loud screams of the young man before him. Whatever pain the young man felt, don't expect him to have the pity of Shua Xie.

"Initially I only intended to cut off your hand if you hurt Xui Lang. But since you said the inappropriate, consider it my gift of introduction." Shua Xie sheathed back his sword which was now one, the other sword which had been broken while resisting Shu Chin's attack.

Shua Xie turned around then stepped closer to Chen Xui and Xui Cuisha who were silently helping where they were standing. Perhaps it was unexpected that Shua Xie possessed such a terrifying strength. Firmly cutting off one's hand without caring about the young man's future.

Shua Xie paused for a moment then said, "Dreams I'm your lover? Your dreams are too high, even you are not worthy compared to someone who had already expressed his feelings to me earlier. At least he's stronger and smarter than you."

"Even animals don't want to serve a depraved man like you!"
