Huo Ling'er's Token of Love
Faced with Qian Ye's strength, even the Fire Emperor felt helpless.
In this Perfect World where strength reigns supreme, everything is decided by power.
Whoever is the strongest will rule this world.
Just like the Upper Realm, it would occasionally bring calamities to the Lower Realm, causing cultivators with cultivation levels above the Venerable to disappear from this world.
Arrest them.
Those who resisted were killed on the spot, leaving not even their souls behind.
Ta-da-da~
Immediately, the guards surged into the palace like a tide, surrounding Qian Ye inside.
"Charge!... Rescue the Fire Emperor!"
"Kill..."
Led by the King, thousands of guards swept towards Qian Ye with overwhelming force.
Qian Ye a smile and a thought, four walls of water suddenly rose around Chiba.
The wall of water rose higher and higher, reaching the sky.
Suddenly it collapsed, surging outwards and impacting tens of thousands of guards who were rushing towards it, who were swept away by the collapsing water wall.
Ga~
Qian Ye snapped his fingers again, and the water instantly froze into ice, trapping tens of thousands of imperial guards inside.
"This... this..." Seeing this scene, the Fire Emperor was even more terrified.
That's incredible!
They don't look like people from the Lower Realm at all!
No one in the Lower Realm could be as strong as him.
One man, challenging himself against the Battle King, his ministers, and tens of thousands of guards, was annihilated in a single move. 👹♬ 🐤☝
Such a terrifying being, yet I cannot fathom its depths. Could it be a god?
Only a god could possess such astonishing power, right?
It seems I underestimated him, which led to this disaster.
"Qian Ye, although I don't know why you've come, I know you must have a purpose in coming to my Fire Nation's palace. It couldn't have been for no reason, right?" the Fire Emperor asked.
This also represents a compromise with him.
At least you have some self-awareness.
Qian Ye thought to herself that she had originally wanted to check in with Huo Ling'er, but he wasn't there, so she couldn't do it.
It seems we'll have to wait until next time.
"You know that's good." Qian Ye laughed. "By the way, didn't you just say you were going to kill me? Well then, let's continue! Call your men, I'll gladly oblige."
I, all the ministers and kings are here, and you have defeated and frozen us all. Even the Battle King was instantly killed by you, and tens of thousands of guards in the palace were frozen in an instant. With your strength, even if you send out a billion soldiers, they would not be your match!
The Fire Emperor shook his head helplessly. "No, I never said such a thing. You are my honored guest, and I am more than happy to welcome you. How could I say such shameless things?"
"Is that so?" Qian Ye looked at him like that.
His eyes were sharp and piercing.
The Fire Emperor broke out in a cold sweat; he wouldn't dare admit to this even if he were beaten to death. "Qian Ye, let's talk this out. I meant no harm; you have to believe me."
Never mind!
The objective has been achieved; there's no point in continuing.
"If you really don't have it, then forget it." Qian Ye pointed his index finger at the Fire Emperor, and in an instant, the frozen blocks on his body shattered into pieces.
The Fire Emperor shuddered, finally free, but his whole body was still terribly cold, and he started shivering.
Fire Emperor Restaurant.
At a long table, Qian Ye and the Fire Emperor sat directly at the top.
Two maids served on each side.
The Fire Emperor picked up his wine cup, toasted Qian Ye, and drank it all in one gulp.
Qian Ye was also a little thirsty, so he drank a cup.
A maidservant quickly stepped forward and filled his cup.
"Qian Ye, you said you come from Stone Village in the Stone Kingdom. Are you related to the Stone Clan?" the Fire Emperor asked tentatively.
Qian Ye replied, "That Stone Village is indeed related to the Stone Clan, but I am not a member of the Stone Clan. I come from a faraway place, and in Stone Village, I am merely a passerby, an outsider."
"Then may I ask where you truly come from?"
Is this a case of relentlessly pursuing the truth?
Qian Ye glared at him.
The Fire Emperor was startled, realizing he had asked too many questions. He quickly picked up his wine glass and offered the man another cup to cover it up.
Qian Ye drank another cup of wine. "Fire Emperor, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. I didn't come here to cause you trouble. I originally wanted to talk to you properly, but you didn't even give me a chance to speak, and you even wanted to kill me. Do you think I wouldn't refuse?"
"That's right, it was my fault. I disrespected you without even knowing the facts. I'll punish myself with three cups." The Fire Emperor said, picking up a cup of wine and drinking it all in one gulp.
I poured two more glasses and drank them all.
"Please, be magnanimous and don't hold it against me anymore, okay?"
"By the way, what did you say you came to my palace for?"
Qian Ye: "It's nothing serious. I've just heard that the Fire Nation's little princess Huo Ling'er, is exceptionally talented and possesses unparalleled beauty, so I came to see her for a bit. That's all. But I haven't seen her, so I came to ask where she is now?"
So they came for Ling'er.
The Fire Emperor was overjoyed; so it seemed he did have feelings for Ling'er.
That's fine. If he can marry Ling'er with his strength, Ling'er will have an unassailable backer in the future.
Most importantly, with the great calamity of the Wasteland Region approaching, having a powerful figure like him to assist Ling'er would provide them with greater security.
"I see. It's unfortunate, Ling'er just went out for training not long ago and won't be back in the palace for a while. So leave this to me. I'll send someone to bring Ling'er back right away. You can stay in the palace, and I guarantee Ling'er will be back soon. What do you think?"
Waiting for her is impossible; we'll just have to meet again at the Hundred Shattering Mountains next time. There are still some things I need to take care of.
Qian Ye was silent for a moment before saying, "Next time. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."
With that, he got up and headed for the door.
Please wait a moment.
The Fire Emperor caught up with him, blocked his path, and casually took out a piece of jade, saying, "You take this?"
Qian Ye took it and saw that it was half a piece of fire jade, with half a bird carved on it. He wondered, what did it mean that he had given him half a piece of jade?
Seeing his confusion, the Fire Emperor thought to himself, "This half of the jade, together with the half of jade on Ling'er's body, forms a complete piece, a token of our love. I hope they are destined to be together."
"This half of the jade is something I always keep with me. Next time you see Ling'er, give it to her and she'll know who you are."
I don't believe you!
If I hadn't heard your heartfelt words, I wouldn't have known that this was the token of love you gave me and Huo Ling'er.
That's fine. Next time I see Huo Ling'er, I can show her how powerful I am.
Qian Ye then put it away, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.
"Qian Ye, appearing and disappearing without a trace, truly possesses extraordinary talent. If Ling'er and he really succeed, then our Fire Nation will be invincible in the Wasteland Region." The Fire Emperor looked at the spot where he disappeared, his eyes filled with longing.
Shi Hao learned about his origins and the experiences of his other parents from Willow Deity. Hearing that it was the Second Ancestral Land, he rode his unicorn to the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land to search for it.
One person traveled over 300,000 miles to reach the Second Ancestral Land of Cloud Surging City in the Western Frontier.
Upon arriving at this place, instead of finding her parents, she found her stand-in, the fake Shi Hao.
In a fit of anger, Shi Hao set fire to the Second Ancestral Land and blamed it on the enemy, the Rain Clan. This angered the Stone Emperor, who then sent three marquises to deal with the matter.
