Chapter 793 (This Small Crawfish is Not Bad)
'As the subordinate of this deity, even if you are weak, you mustn't lose in terms of momentum. When significant matters arise, this deity stands by your side!
Hearing Mu Ran's words, Lan Gu's expression turned particularly unsightly, as if he had just eaten something unpleasant.
This girl used to kneel and bow to himself, yet now she's kneeling to someone else! Such audacity!
Standing behind Lan Gu, Feng Yong Chang had a similar feeling. This girl's scheming runs deep; she's unknowingly attached herself to such a powerful figure. What a schemer!
Standing beside them, Guan Jiaxiang and Song Feiang remained silent, but as long as Lan Gu knelt, they're bound to follow suit. There's no other choice.
Now, everything depends on Lan Gu!
Seeing no reaction from the crowd, Mu Ran shouted again in a coquettish tone, "Kneel and pay respects to His Majesty! Don't delay!"
Lan Gu really wanted to strangle this girl but dared not. Once she took action, it seemed trouble would follow. She didn't want to bring disaster to her sect.
But wouldn't this one kneel represent submission? If news of this spreads, where would her dignity be?
Lan Gu took a deep breath and cupped his hands, saying, "Lan Gu, Sect Master of the Supreme Spirit Sect, pays respects to Your Majesty!"
The others behind his followed suit, providing a bit of face. It seemed the other side wouldn't force them any further.
Mu Ran didn't know whether the Emperor had accepted it, so she remained silent.
Ye Hua set down the chopsticks in his hand and calmly asked, "Is your hearing normal?"
A heavy feeling settled in the hearts of the people; this Emperor was really taking it too far! He wouldn't let up.
"Your Majesty, our hearing is certainly normal," Lan Gu said in a low voice.
Leaning back on the dragon throne, Ye Hua said casually, "Since it's normal, then hurry and pay your respects, and then we can discuss matters."
"Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate?" Lan Gu said in a subdued voice, laced with anger. He hadn't felt this humiliated in a long time.
"Oh? Inappropriate? Is it because the strength exhibited by this Emperor isn't powerful enough? Making you feel shortchanged? If that's the case, you're welcome to leave and await this Emperor's power. This Emperor won't disappoint you," Ye Hua's meaning was clear: if you don't kneel today, it's inappropriate!
He had every reason to decimate them, so don't give him a reason. Otherwise, you'll have a miserable end, and this wasn't a joke but a grave warning!
At the sound of this threat, the scene fell silent for a moment, becoming eerie and oppressive.
In the hearts of the three emperors, a terrifying panic spread, causing their bodies to tremble.
Finally!
Profound Kingdom's Song Feiang couldn't withstand the internal fear any longer and knelt with a thud.
Song Feiang, dressed in imperial robes, knelt down, a scene that surprised Mu Ran but not Ye Hua; she waited quietly.
With Song Feiang's kneel, it seemed to have a ripple effect. Guan Jiaxiang beside him couldn't hold back and knelt as well, his inner fear reaching its peak.
Feng Yong Chang followed suit, his legs trembling, the inner fear amplifying infinitely.
Finally, they couldn't resist any longer and knelt directly.
Only the three members of the Supreme Spirit Sect remained standing.
"Three emperors are wise, choosing a bright future. As for you, Sect Master, if you don't kneel, take your people and go enjoy a hot meal at home, awaiting death's arrival. Don't disturb this Emperor's chat with the three emperors."
Lan Gu turned to look, the three emperors were trembling on the ground, while Wenxiang and Qi Le stood behind him in silence.
Lan Gu's heart was in a fierce struggle. Should he believe the Emperor's words or not?
If he turned around and left, and he could really annihilate his sect, that would be the end.
But this Emperor could also be bluffing.
Someone who could effortlessly kill his elders – could such a person be lying?
Moreover, that confident demeanour didn't seem feigned.
Lan Gu stepped back and squatted down slowly, then knelt.
Seeing the Sect Master kneel, Yu Wenxiang and Qi Le didn't hesitate and followed suit.
Mu Ran couldn't believe her eyes. All the big shots of Northern Chill were kneeling!
This couldn't be a dream, right?
Ye Hua let out a light sigh, seeming a bit disappointed. These all appeared to be intelligent people.
Leading the way, Lan Gu shouted, "Long live His Majesty! Long live! Long live forever!"
"Long live His Majesty! Long live! Long live forever!"
Ye Hua said calmly, "Rise, and let's sit down and dine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Once everyone was seated, Ye Hua said softly, "Actually, this Emperor hoped you'd have a bit of backbone."
This was a sarcastic remark; everyone's expressions turned sour.
"That way, this Emperor could have all of you killed." With Ye Hua's words, the expressions of a few power players changed again. They felt fortunate to have kneeled just now; life and death were balanced on a kneel. Why die standing when you could die kneeling?
Only fools would choose death.
Lan Gu seemed somewhat resigned, and Feng Yong Chang respectfully said, "Thank you for sparing our lives, Your Majesty."
Ye Hua didn't say anything in response. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Try these dishes. They're all exquisite choices, definitely something you haven't eaten before. Especially the small crawfish, it's delicious. Remember to use gloves when eating; it's a bit oily."
Song Feiang actually put on disposable gloves after hearing this and tasted the small crawfish, then praised, "Your Majesty, it's really good!"
"Haha, eat up and chat!" Ye Hua smiled slightly. Being back here was like being back home; he was more cheerful.
Feng Yong Chang and Guan Jiaxiang didn't stand on ceremony either; they tried the small crawfish and found it truly delicious.
"Now, Mu Ran is under this Emperor's command. As for what you were before, you're still the same now."
Hearing Ye Hua's words, everyone paused slightly, seeming to consider it good news. They had thought they would become kings on their own, but it turns out nothing had changed.
Then, Ye Hua continued, "However, Mu Ran will manage you all from now on. Her words are my words. If you don't obey, we'll find someone else who will. Do you understand this Emperor's intention?"
Lan Gu's tightly held hands beneath the table. Now, he had to listen to a young girl's orders!
Could he endure it?
Unendurable!
Intolerable!
Let's eat a small crawfish first to calm down.
"We will obey Your Majesty's orders!" several people shouted loudly.
Ye Hua nodded, his mood still quite good. No one dared to anger this deity.
At this moment, Mu Ran spoke up, "Are my parents in the Divine Steppes alright?"
Feng Yong Chang was immediately startled, even Lan Gu's expression tightened for a moment.
If they had known that Mu Ran had sided with Ye Hua, they definitely wouldn't have gone to kill her entire family!
Feng Yong Chang knew the truth couldn't be hidden, so after eating the last small crawfish, he quickly knelt in the middle.
Seeing Feng Yong Chang's actions, Mu Ran's face became ugly in an instant. A sense of terror spread through her mind.
"What's wrong?" Ye Hua asked calmly.
Feng Yong Chang hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty! Mu Ran's entire family has already been executed by me, but it was all under Master Lan's orders. He said Mu Ran had betrayed us, so he ordered the execution of Mu Ran's entire family. I had no choice."
