Chapter 1000: Wives

Fu Baotian returned to Xian Tian Palace and reported his unpleasant encounter to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and said, “King Yi is a tyrant! He executed Feng Shenyong publicly without Your Majesty’s order and even threatened me! Your Majesty, please punish this treacherous fool!”

The angered Imperial Emperor smirked, “How dare he disobey me! How dare he!”

“My lord, please calm down.”

Suddenly, King Zi Guang’s voice was heard and he shown himself the second later while laughing, “I assume my lord isn’t going to punish King Yi for such a puny matter?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian rebutted with a cold laugh, “Can’t you see that he is already defying my orders? What do you think is going to happen if he is let alone?”

King Zi Guang reminded Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, “Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng publicly defected and swore to decimate the soldiers in the Heaven Suppression Fortress to ask for more rewards from the Heaven Court. Not only did they swore to do so, they even put their words into actions. Therefore, King Yi is not at fault.”

Fu Baotian’s eyes blinked and he added again, “King Yi’s attitude is…..”

King Zi Guang briefly glanced at Fu Baotian before interrupting calmly, “King Yi has this power and this power was given to him by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian alone. My lord, if you execute King Yi, who is going to guard the Heaven Suppression Fortress?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, “I had never thought of executing him since the beginning. I am merely scaring him. Zi Guang, you were never on good terms with him so why are you standing up for him right now?”

“I despised him, but his abilities are beyond reproach. Besides, King Yi is not at wrong so I see no reason to stay quiet.”

King Zi Guang smiled, “Also, I wish to borrow this Senior Martial Brother Fu for some time, Your Majesty.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, “Of course. The fact that there is no one guarding you worries me as well. With Fu Baotian around, I am much at ease. Fu Baotian, from now on, you will follow King Zi Guang and protect him.”

Fu Baotian nodded and bowed.

King Zi Guang took his leave with Fu Baotian and once returned back to his palace, King Zi Guang sat down and said, “Senior Martial Brother Fu, I’m feeling a little restless recently. I want you to do something for me. Go to the Heaven Court and meet with Wu Dulang.”

“Wu Dulang? Who?” asked a confused Fu Baotian who knew nothing about the story behind.

King Zi Guang explained, “He is an innate demon god from the ancient universe, a rival of Li Yang who is now residing in the Heaven Court. Li Yang died in the hands of Wu Dulang in the previous life after being sneaked up by Wu Dulang. He then reborn as the human, Yi Feng, we all know now. Go and observe Wu Dulang, watch his movements and figure out just how is he compared to Yi Feng.”

Fu Baotian exclaimed, “Mister Zi Guang, you are suspecting that this Yi Feng is not Li Yang?”

“Li Yang has been fighting with Wu Dulang for a very long time, which means that both of them are equally strong in every aspect. However, King Yi’s performance was beyond outstanding and everything he displayed seemed to have outmatched even someone like Wu Dulang. Go and observe him and report back to me.”

King Zi Guang said, “Make sure this is only between us, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian must not know about this, am I clear?”

Fu Baotian hesitated, “Imperial Emperor Xian Tian implanted a seal into my body and if I have any second thoughts, he might just take my life away from me. If I don’t tell him about this …”

King Zi Guang smirked, placed his hands behind his back and said, “Senior Martial Brother Fu, if King Yi has a thousand ways to kill you, then you can say that I have a thousand and one ways to kill you! If you dare to leak even a word out, I will make sure you will die a horrible death!”

Fu Baotian felt maligned, “I’ve defected to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian right in front of the Heavenly River Naval Fleet and Panhu Clan’s navy. Everyone knows about this right now. If I enter the Heaven Court, I will be executed on the God Slaying Stage right away!”

King Zi Guang smiled, “How about this, King Yi killed Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng, which angered you so you ran away. I assume such a lie is not difficult for you to make, right?”

Fu Baotian smiled and King Zi Guang blinked his eyes, “Don’t you want to take down King Yi and avenge your friends? This is your best chance.”

“Alright! I’ll go!” said Fu Baotian as he walked away.

King Zi Guang took a sip of his tea and he murmured, “King Yi, I am not suspecting you but you are indeed very suspicious. With just how strong you are in this life, how was Wu Dulang able to kill you in the previous life?”

In the Heaven Suppression Fortress, Jinwu Clan’s emissaries arrived with priceless treasures; just the bright pearls alone numbered over a million, all of which were made into necklaces which were then given to everyone in Zhong Yue’s inner circle.

Though Jin Hexi was also here, she did not meet with Zhong Yue as she was welcomed by Yin Fanxuan, while Zhong Yue welcomed the emissaries as he did not want to lose his manners.

Among the gifts was also a newborn branch from the Fusang Mother Tree, and it was presented as a dowry. While it was just branch, the monarch weapon of the Hundun Clan was also just a tree branch from the Fusang Mother Tree, hence, the value of this dowry was inestimable!

Included in the dowry was also a fiery coral tree. It was an exotic item harvested from the chaotic fire ocean which contained the power and fire of chaos.

Aside from those, there was also a box of golden leaves, each imprinted with innate Daos patterns, numerous rare vehicles gifted by Jinwu Clan’s clan master, other expensive items from the elders and nine Heavens.

The value of the dowry was just priceless that even Yin Fukang was shocked to see it. The Jinwu Clan was just so wealthy that they were a few times richer than the Yinkang Clan. However, it was very normal as being the innate celestial monarch’s clan, the Jinwu Clan had an innate celestial monarch safeguarding the clan, occupied the chaotic fire ocean, Mountain Fu and Fusang Divine Tree, they naturally possessed countless treasures.

Besides, Yinkang Clan’s demon monarch passed away long ago and with the Yinkang Clan exiled into the State of Heavenly River, they were definitely not as wealthy as the Jinwu Clan.

“The celestial monarch also gifted you a Chaos Divine Fruit, master.”

The Jinwu emissary took out a golden box, bowed and presented it to Zhong Yue, “The Chaos Divine Fruit is a miracle, consuming it allows you to blast open the clogged secret realms in your body, pushing the body into the same level as the innate gods. Only the clan master of our race has the qualification to consume one but as the heir of the celestial monarch, the princess had already consumed one so this is gifted to you, master.”

Zhong Yue was happy and he thought, Fanxuan is not going to feel good and I have nothing to make her feel better. With this Chaos Divine Fruit, I will be able to make her feel better! But….

Zhong Yue blinked; the Chaos Divine Fruit was a part of the dowry and if he gifted this to his first wife, wouldn’t that just be a slap in the face to the second wife?

Hexi and I had already consumed a Chaos Divine Fruit and this will do us no good. It will be best for Fanxuan to take it so it is entirely reasonable to give it to her.

He took the golden box and had his men organize the rest of the treasures. He sent them into the safety chamber in the palace and arranged the emissaries for their rest. After everything was settled, Zhong Yue immediately headed to the garden to look for Yin Fanxuan, With this Chaos Divine Fruit and the art from Senior Martial Brother Feng, Fanxuan’s strength would increase tremendously again.

In the garden, Jin Hexi sat with Yin Fanxuan, both accompanied by female servants while they chatted about their lives.

Yin Fanxuan giggled, “Sister Hexi, it is not hard to get into this family. My husband is a stupid one and he will not reject any ladies who tries to wooed him. However, our position in this family is different. By the way, I heard that Sister Hexi is the celestial monarch’s disciple, taught personally by Celestial Monarch Jin Wu and on top of that, you are the princess of the Jinwu Clan so you must be very talented. Why don’t we take this chance and have a little friendly duel?”

Jin Hexi smiled, “Elder sister, I admit defeat.”

Yin Fanxuan raised a brow and smiled, “You and I are both gods who bathed in plenty of battles throughout our way, how could you surrender without putting up a fight?”

Jin Hexi shook her head and explained, “It’s not that I am afraid of defeat but I just can’t.”

“Why’s that?” asked a puzzled Yin Fanxuan.

“I….” murmured a shy Jin Hexi softly, “I’m pregnant with darling’s child. I am not afraid of you, sister, but I am afraid for my baby.”

“Pregnant… Child???”

Yin Fanxuan felt as if she was struck by a lightning bolt. At the same time, Zhong Yue walked towards them excitedly, “You are both here! Fanxuan, Hexi, you should both get along with each other.”

Yin Fanxuan gave Zhong Yue a long glance and said, “Darling, Hexi is pregnant.”

Zhong Yue’s mind too, went blank and he shouted in shock, “Pregnant? With my child? Impossible! Hexi, that incident was two to three hundred years ago! If you are really pregnant, the child should’ve already been born long ago! Or is the Jinwu Clan’s time of pregnancy that long?”

Jin Hexi burst out laughing right away, “Darling, I was just messing around with Elder Sister Fanxuan! She wanted to duel with me just now and thinking that I am no match for her, I came up with this excuse and I did not expect sister to buy it!”

Zhong Yue let out a relieved sigh and suddenly, his heart thumped quickly as he cowardly glanced at Yin Fanxuan.

“So sister, you are lying.”

Without showing any emotion, Yin Fanxuan giggled, “And here I thought it was true. If that’s the case, when is Sister Hexi planning to have a friendly match with me?”

Jin Hexi giggled, “They said that the Innate Saint Spirit Body is unrivaled but in the ancient universe, I too, am unrivaled so I am very interested in finding out just how strong Elder Sister Fanxuan is compared to me.”

The ladies then stared into each other eyes and lightning sparkled.

Zhong Yue felt a migraine growing in his head seeing this; Yin Fanxuan invited Jin Hexi for a duel to show off her position as Zhong Yue’s first and main wife and to step her down.

On the other hand, Jin Hexi lied about being pregnant with Zhong Yue’s child to emphasize that she had an intimate relationship with Zhong Yue first and attempted to foil Yin Fanxuan’s presence.

These two ladies were not easy to handle!

“Xin Huo, Xin Huo! How did your inheritors handle such situation…. Xin Huo? Hey?”

In Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, the little flame yawned and shouted, “I suddenly felt tired so I should go to sleep now. You can handle such puny affairs on your own, I believe that you can! Don’t wake me if it’s not an emergency!”

“Damn you!”

Zhong Yue was furious as ever since this little flame merged with his soul, there was no need for him to sleep. This little flame merely pretended to be tired because he also had no clue on how to deal with this situation!

On the other hand, the pretentious little flame thought, One of the inheritors was beaten to death by his own wives after the wives gotten unhappy with how many women he wooed…. I shouldn’t be involved too much…..
