The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 595: I Want to Kill Crown Prince Too!

I Want to Kill Crown Prince Too! . . .

The king responded, "I understand. Over thousands of years, whoever sought to control Ling-Bao Hall, including some kings, ended up with nothing. I am certainly no exception. However, what I hope is that Ling-Bao Hall can stand where Feng Monarch stands, supporting the kingdom you are now behind. I assume that aligns with your intentions, right?"

Their discussion on this matter came to a close.

Neither of them pursued the topic any further.

The king shifted to another subject, asking, "Feng Monarch, you observe this earthly realm from a transcendent vantage point. I imagine you have your own opinions about the Kingdom of Chen. I'm curious to know: what are your thoughts on my kingdom?"

Cha Eun Xiao responded matter-of-factly, "Picturesque."

However, the king clearly expected a more comprehensive response. Persisting in his inquiry, he continued, "And what is your impression of my son, the Crown Prince?"

Cha Eun Xiao's eyes turned sharp as he responded, "Your majesty, are you truly interested in hearing the truth?"

The king affirmed, "Absolutely!"

Then Cha Eun Xiao declared, "I want to kill him!"

The king was taken aback, utterly unprepared for such an unexpected response. He couldn't have anticipated that this question would yield such a startling and murderous answer.

Before the king could react, Cha Eun Xiao swiftly moved to kick away the evidence concerning the Second Prince. With a wave of his hand, countless documents cascaded to the floor.

It was another extensive stack of proof.

"These are records of the heinous deeds committed by your dear Crown Prince. I haven't even completed the compilation yet due to time constraints."

"Here, you'll find evidence of how he conspired with foreign entities to plot your dethronement."

"These documents showcase how he persecuted officials who refused to support him. Second Prince may have committed unforgivable crimes, but the Crown Prince is no less shameless!"

"These are records of his licentious relationships with your concubines. Perhaps you were unaware. One horse ridden by two men. Well, this situation appears to involve more than just one horse; it's more like many horses ridden by two men: father and son. My apologies for my ignorance; I'm at a loss for words..."

"These are... how he..."

"These are..."

The king watched as Cha Eun Xiao meticulously sorted through the evidence one by one, and he felt an icy chill running through his body.

As he came across evidence of treason and debauchery, he felt as though he'd descended into an ice-cold abyss.

In response to Cha Eun Xiao's wry remarks, such as 'one horse ridden by two men,' the king experienced a mix of anger, disappointment, and despair. Surprisingly, he didn't cough up blood or utter curses; instead, he began to coldly chuckle.

"Hehehehehehe..."

The king stood up and addressed Cha Eun Xiao, saying, "I apologize for laughing in this manner."

In a composed manner, Cha Eun Xiao responded, "This is hardly a laughing matter, your majesty. Please take care of your health."

The king replied with indifference, "How? With such an exemplary son!"

Then he made a request, saying, "I require a favor from you, please."

Cha Eun Xiao agreed, "Please, go on."

"I want these documents removed. I do not wish for anyone else to discover them," the king said, pointing to the two piles of evidence.

"That, I can promise. What has occurred here will remain undisclosed," Cha Eun Xiao assured him. "I suggest we don't allow anyone else to access these items. Allow me to present you with a space ring as a gift."

He retrieved a space ring, organized the scattered documents on the floor, and stored them inside.

Cha Eun Xiao proceeded to instruct the king on how to utilize the ring, ensuring that he was familiar with its operation.

The king's countenance remained frigid, resembling ice. He spoke to Cha Eun Xiao with an apologetic tone, "Feng Monarch, I must apologize for inconveniencing you today. It's getting late, and I should depart... If, by any chance, we should meet again, I hope we can engage in a more substantial conversation."

Evidently, the king was compelled to leave without a moment's delay.

As a king, he felt profoundly humiliated.

As a husband, he was disgraced!

As a father, he was shamed!

As a... as a man, he had been stripped of his dignity.

Even an ordinary man would have been mortified if subjected to such circumstances, let alone the king of a significant realm.

How could he possibly prolong his stay?

When he mentioned the possibility of a future meeting, he paused for an extended duration. He suspected he might not have much time left to live, and therefore, there might not be another opportunity to encounter Feng Zhiling. Moreover, even if such an opportunity arose, he might no longer desire it.

Feng Monarch had become privy to too much of his disgrace.

Had it not been for Feng Monarch's formidable strength and resistance to death, irrespective of his own honor, the king might have been inclined to terminate Feng Monarch without hesitation.

As the king exited, his visage flushed red, and he ambled unsteadily. Internally, he repeated the question, "What kind of royal family have I cultivated?" He wondered whether his lineage was genuinely that licentious and himself that futile.

Cha Eun Xiao observed the king's faltering departure, and his heart swelled with empathy.

As a king, an honorable one, he was driven by grand visions and unwavering resolve. His efforts on behalf of the kingdom and his profound love for his subjects were undeniable. He governed with firmness, yet he remained devoid of arrogance.

Chen Xuantian, the king of the Kingdom of Chen, was the most principled monarch Cha Eun Xiao had ever encountered.

Nonetheless, the weight of such a significant betrayal bore down upon him, and he was ailing.

His existence had been cast into darkness.

"Your majesty!" Cha Eun Xiao called out suddenly.

The king halted and inquired, "Feng Monarch, is there something else you wish to convey?"

Cha Eun Xiao responded, "No, nothing more. I understand that you are unwell, and I simply wished to offer assistance."

The king was taken aback, and then he smiled ruefully, shaking his head. "Feng Monarch, I appreciate your kindness. I once held high hopes for supreme dan. I consumed some Supreme Dan beads, and my health briefly improved. It filled me with optimism at that time. However, my affliction resurfaced with a sense of inevitability... My ailment is insurmountable."
