Chapter 521: Human Emperor & Ultimate Strength

“You are saying that I’ve been played?!” Zhou Bao’s expression darkened, showing a rare stern face.

“Of course you were played!” Child-endowing Buddha seemed completely helpless and shrugged his shoulders. “During that time, I didn’t know there were so many secrets. Now that I entered the Bigwheel Temple, I know a lot more. This is how I predicted their plan. Your birth destiny is special. But even though it being eccentric, you’re not a celestial being and therefore not a Candidate for Human Emperor. However, your children are different. They have you as a shield, bear the blood of the Yan Family, and have as their birthplace the Nine Dragons convergence, a place where dragons rise. Considering all this, their birth destinies are so precious, they could frighten one to death!”

“So what if it’s a celestial’s life or a demigod’s life?!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly, “As long as I don’t agree, it will be impossible to think of using my family – even for the Immortal Palace!”

“That’s easy for you to say now, but when the time comes, the decision will not be up to you!” Seeing Zhou Bao putting on a face, Child-endowing Buddha broke into a weird laughter. “Immortal Palace has already done what needs to be done! They only need your children to have the birth destiny of a celestial being. On top of that, the Nine Dragons convergence will cause their fate to soar. You won’t be able to stop their fate from blossoming in the future. Even if you want to stop them from taking that road, you won’t necessarily be able to!”

“What exactly do you want to say?!”

“Cooperation. Let’s pressurize Immortal Palace together!” Child-endowing Buddha also felt that he was straying away. He said directly, “Soon, the journey to Infinite Star Sea will begin. Nobody knows what will happen. Hence, before that, the position of the Human Emperor must be settled. This time, your father-in-law will definitely compete for it. However, you also know about the things that happened before. His chances are not high. What I want you to do is to help your old father-in-law to get the Human Emperor position no matter what!”

“Why exactly are people fighting for this Human Emperor’s position?!”

“After you won the fight, you will know that Human Emperor is not just a title. He represents the ultimate power. And as for what this ultimate power is, hehe, you can take a look after you fight a little!”

“Why should I listen to you?!”

“Because when you get the Human Emperor position, you’ll have such great benefits – so great you can’t even imagine them!” Child-endowing Buddha said mysteriously, “You might even get to overturn the case of the Fiery Eyes tribe from that year?!”

“This is impossible!” Zhou Bao did not even think before continuing, “Whatever unlucky thing happened to the Fiery Eyes tribe was caused by Divine Wind Palace. And they’re also responsible for the candidates for Human Emperor. So, why would they backstab themselves?!”

“Hehe, their misfortune was indeed caused by Divine Wind Palace. But speaking truthfully, it happened because of the Human Emperor candidate back then. Divine Wind Palace search for candidates so eagerly, the ultimate goal is to control him completely. For so many years, Divine Wind Palace had maintained their superior benefit over other four big sects. This benefit originated from their initial control over the candidate and the ultimate strength!”

“Controlling the Human Emperor and ultimate strength?!” Zhou Bao raised his hand and glanced at Child-endowing Buddha, asking, “Then how am I supposed to help that old guy?!”

“I don’t have to teach you how to do it. When the time comes, the old guy will definitely ask you for help. He will naturally tell you clearly how he wants you to help him. Then, you will only need to discuss some conditions with him. I’m here just to remind you of this in case you get tired of him and refuse him immediately and therefore miss out on this great chance!”

“Helping him snatch the Human Emperor position is not considered as involving myself in earthly matters, right?!”

“Tsk, of course not!” Child-endowing Buddha shook his head frantically. “You could kill all Human Emperor candidates and it wouldn’t be counted. As long as you can kill them, that is!”

“I will take your blessings!” Zhou Bao gave a martial arts hand salute and disappeared in a flash in front of Child-endowing Buddha without saying goodbye.

“This fella is indeed impatient!” Seeing Zhou Bao leave, Child-endowing Buddha was not angry. On the contrary, he shook his head and smiled as if he could understand what Zhou Bao was going through.

However, Zhou Bao returned to Wuyang Region. The first thing he did was to run into the Inner Yard and look for his children with the birth destiny of a celestial being. However, his fire-like Qi Power shocked Yan Yunfei.

“What happened to you? Why are you in such a rush?!”

“Oh, nothing much. I’m just taking a look at them!” Seeing Yan Yunfei’s shocked yet coquettish look, Zhou Bao had a rush of adrenaline. He laughed, hugged her tightly, and said, “Just now there was a bastard who tried to see into their future. He said that their birth destiny is much more precious than mine, so I’m here to take a look!”

“What nonsense! How could there be a birth destiny more precious than yours!” Yan Yunfei pinched his waist harshly, however, Zhou Bao did not have any reaction. Instead, Yan Yunfei gave a shocking cry of pain, originating from the reverse force of Zhou Bao’s body.

“Urgh!” At this moment, Zhou Bao thought that it was a tragedy. His body was just strengthened by the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill, and he had not gotten used to it yet. These few years, Yan Yunfei’s skills improved tremendously, even without her putting in much effort. Under Zhou Bao’s guidance, she drank a few bottles of medicine and then went from the peak of Level Six Realm to Level Seven Expert Realm. Her strength took a qualitative leap. If that would not have been the case, she would be seriously hurt from just now.

However, even so, Zhou Bao didn’t dare to be intimate with her. He smiled awkwardly and pretended to ask a few questions. After that, he ran out drenched in sweat and sat in the study room all night long. The whole situation was beyond ’embarrassing’.

On the second morning, Zhou Bao heard some noises coming from the bedroom. He rose up and ran to the bedroom with a sinister laughter.

“Wife, I – your husband – am coming!”

“Pow!” He was met with a big, red pillow.

“Wife, don’t be angry. I – your husband – am here to talk to you about a serious matter!”

“A serious matter?! What kind of serious matter did you come to me for?!” Yan Yunfei shouted angrily. Obviously, she was still pissed from the night before.

“Hehe, what else other than about our old father-in-law?!” Zhou Bao leaned towards her with a smile on his face while holding the second pillow to avoid it from being thrown.

“Wife, did your father, His Excellency, write to you recently?!”

“Royal Father?!” Yan Yunfei froze. Then, she looked at him with an eccentric gaze. “How did you know? A letter from Royal Father did come yesterday, saying that he wants to meet you. I was worried that you’ll feel troubled, so I didn’t tell you!”

“Haha, so this is the legendary saying ‘Daughters married away are like water carried away,’ favoring an outsider instead of someone’s own?!” said Zhou Bao as he heard that and laughed out loud.

“Screw you!” shouted Yan Yunfei as she heard that and blushed. She stretched out her hand, unconsciously wanting to give him a strong slap. However, the thought of what happened last night flashed through her brain, and she withdrew her hand. She stared harshly at Zhou Bao and could not stop herself from smiling. “What dumb idea are you thinking of again?!”

“What do you mean by ‘dumb idea’? I kept on hearing news about my father-in-law. I thought that according to his personality, he would come to me for such matters, so I’m just asking!”

“You are smart indeed, knowing that Royal Father will come to you. But it is not for sure that you will help him!”

“What do you mean by that? Since when do I not help Royal Father? Let me tell you, I might actually help Royal Father a lot this time!” Zhou Bao said assuredly. He might as well also tap on his chest as a sign of assurance.

“Really?!” Yan Yunfei was surprised by his sudden change in attitude. She looked at Zhou Bao in disbelief and said, “What dumb idea are you thinking of again now!”

“Oh god, my dear wife. The injustice towards me is killing me! I only want to help you to do something out of filial piety, but you mistake my good intentions for ill intent! Forget it, forget it. This is hurting my pride. Let’s not talk about it. I’m not giving a damn anymore!” Speaking of which, Zhou Bao turned around and walked away with a face of disappointment.

“Hey, wait!” Seeing Zhou Bao’s pretense, Yan Yunfei did not know whether to be mad or laugh at it. “Come back, stop acting!”

Zhou Bao turned around and smiled, trying to get on her good side. “Wife, when His Highness father-in-law said he wanted to meet me, did he specify a time?!”

“He didn’t give any details, but from what I could read between the lines, it seems to be as soon as possible. Tell me, why does Royal Father want to see you so urgently to even hide the matter from his own daughter!” Yan Yunfei’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy.

“From what I can tell, it isn’t anything big, but its just connected to too many other things. Even if he wants to tell you, it’s not convenient for him to mention it in the letter. If you really want to know, why don’t you go with me to Jing?!”

“To Jing?” Yan Yunfei was sold for just a moment and then laughed bitterly. “I’ll pass this time. After both kids are bigger, we’ll bring them there, also making Royal Father happy!”

Mentioning their children, even the space between Yan Yunfei’s eyebrows was joyful. Unexpectedly, Zhou Bao laughed sinisterly. “Who knows if you’ll be pregnant and unable to walk by then!”

“Screw you!” Now, Yan Yunfei was really annoyed, but she still feared the eccentric status of Zhou Bao’s body. After taming her anger, she touched him gently. She found a Green Sheath Dagger on his body and mercilessly stabbed it into his body.

“Isn’t this a Divine Weapon! Wife, you’re really intending to murder your own husband!” Zhou Bao screeched and dodged.

“Right, today I want to murder my husband. What’s wrong with that!” Yan Yunfei shouted and ran towards Zhou Bao while still holding onto the sword…

Jin, West Capital, Royal Capital.

The evening breeze blew like a mournful zither under the setting sun. In the midst of this evening breeze, Yan Yuntian stood before the extremely big window of the Imperial Study. There was some harshness in the middle of this quite breeze, but he did not bother about this very cooling breeze. Looking at the sun setting in the west, he murmured to himself, “It’s coming soon, it’s coming soon!”
