Chapter 189: Chapter 188 Prince Hu Zheng's condition

As Xie Feng made his way to the King's Palace he was thinking about what he should ask for as a reward in case what King Hu Yi wanted to offer him was not to his liking. After all, Xie Feng had just sent his son to safety with his father. Although Xie Feng might have retreated, it would take at least a day for the soldiers of Eminentis City to travel such a distance, even considering if they all used teleportation scrolls.

But Xie Feng believed that when King Hu Yi saw the condition Hu Zheng was in, he would understand that, if not for Xie Feng's boldness and courage, his son would have died, his blood and flesh would have been turned into poison and the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon would have devoured him like a tonic.

What Xie Feng did was to save the life of the little prince of Eminentis City, it was not much different from saving the life of a prince in the ancient times of the real world. The rewards should be high according to the merits acquired.

[Ding!]

The bracelet-shaped communication tool on Xie Feng's wrist made a small sound, indicating that he had received a call or a message.

For obvious reasons, Xie Feng had his communication tool blocked so none of the players could communicate with him as the system would tell them that the player was unavailable; otherwise, considering Xie Feng's fame, he would be overwhelmed to death by calls and messages from other players.

The only exceptions to such a block were the people on his friends list and, so far, there were only six people on Xie Feng's friends list; Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, Yang Tian, Hu Chen, Xiao Luo, and Yue Kai.

Looking at the notification, he saw that it was an incoming call from Xie Yao so he quickly answered.

"Yaoyao, you also decided to connect?"

"Big brother Xie Feng, Qianxue and I just connected. Just now I met Yue Kai accidentally and he invited us to level up all together. Are you busy now?" Xie Yao's beautiful voice was like the music of angels ringing in Xie Feng's ears. Just listening to it he felt his morning brighten up.

"No, I just finished a hard mission just a few minutes ago and I'm on my way to receive my reward. How about we all meet at the south gate of the city?"

Xie Feng naturally knew that Xie Yao and the rest wanted to spend time with him. However, because Xie Feng spent most of his time alone on difficult maps and fighting complicated battles, they never bothered him. For this, Xie Feng could only silently apologize and spend as much free time with his loved ones.

"Okay! Then the five of us will be waiting for you at the south gate!"

Xie Yao's voice sounded cheerful. Although she had just seen Xie Feng not long ago at breakfast, her love for him was beyond meaning. A love that unless one had personally experienced it one could never understand through explanations. From Xie Yao's point of view, as long as she could spend time together with Xie Feng, the more the better!

"All right! See you in a few minutes." Xie Feng readily agreed.

After finishing the call with Xie Yao, Xie Feng quickened his steps and soon arrived in front of the outer gate of the King's Palace. There he was stopped by two silver-armored guards; however, after Xie Feng showed his identity, the guards quickly let him pass.

"Apparently King Hu Yi already informed them about me..." muttered Xie Feng as he entered the place that only a few privileged players could access.

However, near the main entrance, there was a person waiting for him. A person Xie Feng had completely forgotten about.

"H-Hello. Lord Shiva, his majesty was awaiting your arrival, P-Please come with me."The pretty maiden Xiao Xiao looked at him shyly and her words had trouble being fluent.

Xie Feng smiled bitterly inside. He really didn't expect that a casual comment with no ulterior motives on his part would cause this innocent girl in front of him to start behaving like this in his presence. Although Xiao Xiao might not be in love with Xie Feng, clearly her impression of him was quite high.

"Please, I'm sorry to bother you." Xie Feng thought for several seconds about his words before speaking this time. Otherwise, if he said something that caused even more affection from Xiao Xiao, he might as well have to bang his head against the wall.

"No, it's no bother."

Fortunately, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Maid Xiao Xiao shook her head with a smile and led Xie Feng towards the place where the King was.

The walk was silent as both of them did not speak, though each for different reasons. However, Xie Feng couldn't help but break the silence and asked curiously:

"Oh? King Hu Yi is not in his office or his throne?"

"No. His majesty is taking care of the crown prince..." Xiao Xiao shook her head and softly explained, "The prince's condition was really bad when he was suddenly forcibly teleported next to his majesty the king."

Xie Feng nodded silently and made no further comment on the matter. He had personally seen the condition Hu Zheng was in; the mere fact that he could still speak was amazing in itself.

After walking for a minute in silence, Xie Feng was led into a room that was closed by an extremely tall door. Standing on either side of the door were two guards with golden armor and a serious expression on their faces.

Just standing there, both guards were like two immovable mountains.

Maid Xiao Xiao had to explain about who Xie Feng was and the reason for his visit carefully before one of the guards nodded and entered the room after telling them to wait outside.

Only a few seconds later, the same guard returned and finally gave Xie Feng permission to enter. After thanking and saying goodbye to Xiao Xiao, Xie Feng entered the room without saying a word.

The first thing Xie Feng noticed was the strong smell of medicine permeating the place. It was as if thousands of different kinds of herbs were burning and releasing their aroma at the same time.

"Shiva, you are here."

As Xie Feng felt a little uncomfortable from the smell, a somewhat exhausted voice came from his right.

Looking in the direction of the voice, Xie Feng was not surprised to see King Hu Yi beside the bed, holding his son Hu Zheng's hand; a look of weariness and sorrow obscured his face and he even appeared to have aged several years since Xie Feng had last seen him, though it had only been a few days.

"I've completed your request..." Xie Feng didn't quite know what to say about the situation, so he could only state his true purpose.

"Not only did you complete the mission, but it was also a stupendous and wonderful achievement." King Hu Yi nodded without taking his eyes off his son's face, "You didn't just find the monster's hideout. You also brought back my son at the cost of your own safety.... At least I'll be able to give him a funeral worthy of a prince and he won't be devoured by that damned beast."

"What!?" Xie Feng couldn't help but shout out loud when he heard King Hu Yi's last words. Realizing his mistake, he hurriedly apologized and continued, "King Hu Yi, what do you mean by funeral? I'm sure Prince Hu Zheng was still alive when I used the teleportation scroll you gave me that day."

"*Sigh*... In fact, my son is not dead..." King Hu Yi nodded slowly and explained with a pained look, "At least, he's not dead yet.... But it's not much different. The poison running in my son's veins is much stronger than you think, even the strongest priest in the palace can't do anything about it. This poison is made up of the blood of countless poisonous animals and all kinds of toxic plants. The only thing I can do is to ease my son's pain a little with these precious herbs."

Suddenly Xie Feng understood what the medicinal smell was for. Although he had expected something like this, what Xie Feng had thought was that the medicine was to cure Prince Hu Zheng's illness, he did not expect that the only function was to relieve pain.

"There's really no way?" Xie Feng could not help but tentatively ask as he frowned deeply. Although the little prince's life was none of his business since they were not even acquaintances and it could even be said that Xie Feng saved him once, it left a bad taste in his mouth since, after all, he went out of his way to save the kid.

"It's not that it's impossible, in fact, there is a way." King Hu Yi nodded before shaking his head and smirking, "However, it is impossible. The source of my son's poison came from that monster, so there is a high possibility that the antidote is in its body. Unfortunately, if I or my soldiers kill it, it would be meaningless as the level difference is too great so the monster won't drop any drops. Only a person of the same level or a lower level would be able to get it... That's why I said it was impossible."
