Legend of the Monster
Chaptre 225. Refusing Marriage
Emperor Qing stared fixedly at Ling Tian as he furrowed his brows. Ling Tian's words that said 'It's unlucky that the old man who gave birth to the child was not self-knowing' that made Emperor Qing behave like that.
The one who had just been reprimanded and scolded by Ling Tian was the first Prince of the Qing Empire, who was also the elder brother of the Qing Emperor himself, the Prince of Qing Yi. Although not the siblings of Emperor Qing, Prince Qing Yi was also a descendant of the previous Emperor who was the father of Emperor Qing.
It was tantamount to saying that Emperor Qing's father had been unlucky for having produced a child like Prince Qing Yi and it was also a curse that was indirectly aimed at the previous Emperor.
"Did my father really have been unlucky?" ask Emperor Qing inwardly.
Emperor Qing was actually very knowledgeable with the attitude of Prince Qing Yi who had always acted arrogantly. Even Emperor Qing knew that Prince Qing Yi was very envious of him because he was the one chosen by the previous Emperor to succeed the throne and become the current Emperor.
"Your Majesty! Allow me to teach this brash young man a little lesson so he knows his place. He will be His Majesty's son-in-law. But before that, he should be taught a lesson in order to know manners when talking to people older than him." A 32-33 year old youth stood up and spoke to the Qing Emperor.
The young man was the son of Prince Qing Yi. He said that because he could not accept if his father was reprimanded and scolded by Ling Tian whose status was just an ordinary person. Because, according to him, only the Qing Emperor can rebuke and scold his father if he makes a mistake. As for Ling Tian, it was extremely inappropriate to do such a thing to his father.
Before Emperor Qing replied, Ling Tian had already first interjected, "Badly? Who is the insolent? Isn't what I said all true! Where am I being rude? Please explain it to me!"
The young man turned to look at Ling Tian and said in a sneering tone, "Who are you? How dare you speak to him that way. Do you know who he is? Before you speak rudely, pay close attention to where you are right now."
"Ooh ... It's a coincidence then! Because, I also want to know who that man of no manners dares to shout loudly in front of His Majesty the Emperor!?" ling Tian replied casually while shrugging his shoulders.
"You ...." The young man tightened his jaws holding back his emotions that were about to explode as he once again heard Ling Tian say his father was a man of no manners. Then said again, "He is my father, namely the First Prince of the Qing Empire, Prince Qing Yi who is also the elder brother of His Majesty the Emperor! So, now you know where your mistake lies. All I can rebuke and scold my father is His Majesty the Emperor."
"Ooh ... So, he is your father?! It's worth it ..." said Ling Tian while nodding his head and not continuing his sentence.
"Worthy of what? Since you already know the location of your guilt, then immediately kneel down and beg His Majesty for mercy. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude and teaching you a lesson."
"Hehehe ... I mean, it deserves your nature to be the same as that guy. It turns out that he is your father," Ling Tian replied with a soft laugh.
Hearing what Ling Tian said, almost Princess Qing Ruan giggled. But she quickly held him back, then made her mind up, "A fascinating young man! He dared to say that to Uncle and also Qing Nan's cousin, as if he didn't fear the two of them in the least despite knowing his status."
"Stop! Let's not prolong this matter any longer" the Qing Emperor said in a stern tone.
"Okay, Your Majesty!" said the young man named Qing Nan, then turned to glare his eyes at Ling Tian, then sat back in his chair.
Ling Tian only smiled slightly at him, then looked towards Emperor Qing with a calm gaze, as if nothing had happened within that hall.
"Hmmm ... As I promised before, that whoever can beat my daughter in the competition, then I will marry her. I will also give the Purple Sky Spirit Fruit as the competition's winning prize," the Qing Emperor said, then took out a wooden box from his Space Ring.
The old man who was the personal bodyguard of Emperor Qing immediately took the wooden box and walked towards Ling Tian.
With his spiritual senses, Ling Tian was able to see that the wooden box had a Protective Formation around it and within it was truly the Purple Sky Spirit Fruit.
If there was no one in the hall, perhaps Ling Tian would jump around in excitement from getting what he was looking for, that was something very important and could increase his cultivation to break through to the Sky Star stage.
The old man handed the wooden box over to Ling Tian, then said slowly, "In the vicinity of this box has a very powerful Protective Formation. If now you want to take the Purple Sky Spirit Fruit that is inside, then I will remove the Protective Formation for you."
"Thank you! But it's not necessary." Ling Tian smiled happily and immediately took the wooden box from the old man's hand, then directly inserted it into his Space Ring.
The old man slightly gasped at Ling Tian's words. Even Emperor Qing's face showed a hint of his shock. Because, the Protective Formation contained in the wooden box was a very powerful formation called the Seven Keys Formation. Only an eighth level Formation Master could open it.
Emperor Qing himself who was not a Formation Master would not be able to open the wooden box. But with his strength being at the first stage of the Sky Star, he would be able to destroy that Seven Keys Formation. However, the wooden box would also be destroyed along with the Purple Sky Spirit Fruit that was inside.
"Hmmm ... All righty! Since your cultivation level is also not yet about to enter the Sky Star stage, then you are also not going to use the Purple Sky Spirit Fruit. If you ever want to open that wooden box, just call me! I'll open it for you," said the old man, then walked back to the side of Emperor Qing.
"Mmmm!" Ling Tian simply nodded slowly to respond to her and did not say anything more to explain the truth. Because if they knew that the Seven Keys Formation was just like a child's toy to Ling Tian, then perhaps the old man who was also a level eight Formation Master, would instantly kneel to him.
"All right! Since the prize winner of the competition has been given, then now we will talk about your marriage with my daughter. First of all I'll ...."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor! I can't marry the Princess, "Before Emperor Qing continues his sentence, Ling Tian had already interrupted him first.
Princess Qing Ruan's body trembled when she heard Ling Tian's words as if to say that she did not deserve to be Ling Tian's wife. It was only fitting that Ling Tian displayed a sour face when the competition event was over.
Emperor Qing's face instantly turned sullen. As for everyone who was inside that palace hall, it stared towards Ling Tian with a murderous gaze.
As for Qing Nan, an evil grin appeared on her face and hoped that everyone would immediately make a move to kill Ling Tian. His heart was now filled with resentment towards Ling Tian for daring to insult his father as well as himself.
Ling Tian could only smile wryly feeling the anger of everyone who was fixed on him. Even Ling Tian saw that the old man who was the personal bodyguard of the Qing Emperor had prepared to attack him.
Emperor Qing raised his hand signaling the old man to calm down, then said, "Let's listen to the reason!"
After Emperor Qing finished speaking, everyone was now waiting for what Ling Tian would say. Princess Qing Ruan also stared fixedly at Ling Tian, wanting to hear her explanation.
Ling Tian let out a long sigh, then said, "His Majesty the Emperor! It's not that I don't want to marry the Princess. Only a fool would not want to marry a woman dubbed as the number one beauty in the Sky Crossing Continent. It's just, I actually have a wife and there are even three people."
"What?!"
Everyone was extremely shocked by what Ling Tian had just said. They looked at Ling Tian intently to find out if there were any lies implied on his face.
"Ciihi! If you want to reject this marriage, just say it honestly. No need to argue for such reasons. With your young age, who would believe that you have three wives. Maybe even one you don't have." Qing Nan said with a sneering tone. He intended to heat up the situation inside the hall for everyone to become even more angry at Ling Tian.
Hearing Qing Nan's words, Ling Tian shook his head slowly, then walked casually towards her. After arriving in front of Qing Nan, Ling Tian swung her hand giving a hard slap to Qing Nan's face.
However, the slap given by Ling Tian did not contain any Qi energy and it was just an ordinary slap. Ling Tian had only used his Qi energy to lock onto Qing Nan's movements.
PLAQUES
The sound of the slap echoed within the palace hall and made everyone who heard it gasp in shock. They never thought that Ling Tian would do that.
"Is this your place and time to talk?" ling Tian asked as he swung his hand again.
PLAQUES
"Is it something to do with you about my marriage?"
PLAQUES
"Why are you interfering in my marriage?"
PLAQUES
"Did your father never teach you not to interfere in other people's business.
PLAQUES
"Bhh ... I just remembered, it turns out the nature of father and son is the same."
POSTER ... PLAQUES
The sound of the slap shook the hearts of everyone who heard it. Their cheeks became hot as if they were burning and as if they could feel the pain of the slap.
Ling Tian continued to slap Qing Nan's face hard. After Qing Nan's teeth had all fallen out and her face had also been battered like the head of a b4bi, Ling Tian stopped and stood back where he was.
Qing Nan's father, Prince Qing Yi, was unable to do anything and could only grind his teeth holding back his anger. If only Emperor Qing had not been in the hall, he might have made a move to attack Ling Tian.
Moreover, what Ling Tian said was all true, that his marriage indeed had absolutely nothing to do with Qing Nan. And also, it was not where Qing Nan spoke when Emperor Qing and Ling Tian were deliberating.
