Chapter 76: Narration and Temptation
“At that time, monsters covered the sky, and the land battles dyed the sky into a dark red. Wherever they went, there were only skeletons and corpses. I remember when arranging the bodies, the corpses from the Xunbo County battle extended shoulder to shoulder from the Kingdom of Lux to the Grand Duchy of Timisefi. The cries formed a continuous sound, and the tragic scene remains unforgettable for a lifetime.” Cyril recounted a history from hundreds of years ago, a war song that almost no one had heard before. For a moment, the vast square had not a single person making a sound, all concentrating intently, even the judges nodding occasionally, completely captivated by the story.
“The invasion of the forty-seven demon gods can be likened to lightning, and I remember when the seven black dragon demon gods led by Gakajes attacked the Kingdom of Komind and several other countries where I was. Despair would be an apt description. The dark and evil deities used their undying flames to burn all the territories within their reach. The Kingdom of Komind declared defeat within three days, and the other countries succumbed to the flames of these seven black dragons one after another. For a time, the entire frontline of the northern region of the empire was filled with suffering and countless vengeful spirits.” Even Laogeri couldn’t help but furrowed his brows whenever he spoke about this, memories of those years still fresh in his mind. Such a heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone, even the audience watching through magic shadowstone held their breath.
In that desperate era, a young man named Daven stepped forward… His life could be described as miraculous. From the very beginning, inheriting the legacy of the divine, he endured immense suffering. Yet, he overcame countless obstacles, facing opposition from both monsters and humans, and ultimately advanced towards the realm of the divine!”
Gods, no matter how weak, are beings to be revered. Their lifespan is infinite, and even demigods cannot compare.
Everyone listened attentively to Laogeri’s narration, and the five judges narrowed their eyes slightly, clearly having guessed the identity of this young man named Daven.
After Daven ascended to godhood, he didn’t seek revenge against those humans who had once turned against him. Instead, he went straight to the front lines and battled the likes of Gakajes and the other seven black dragon demon gods all night, ultimately being slain one by one!”
At this point, many people had already realized the significance. The tale of the seven black dragons was akin to a textbook story in the Kingdom of Cyril. There were hardly any who couldn’t guess where Laogeri’s narrative was leading.
“Yes, I am talking about the Duke later personally bestowed by the great and supreme Emperor, Duke Daven Cyril the First.”
Tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble.
“Miss Yuehai, what are you trembling for? It’s okay, you know, even though I am His Highness, I won’t command you to take your own life.” Xuelian said very casually, her words causing Yuehai to tremble even more. She couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Your Highness Xuelian, what exactly is your intention towards the imperial princess?’
However, what made Yuehai even harder to stop trembling was the current environment, a women’s changing room.
Tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble.
“Absolutely not, Tyr! You’re a man! How could you fall in a place like this!”
Yuehai clenched her hands tightly, trying to encourage herself, but at that moment, she heard rustling sounds from behind.
One piece, two pieces… judging from the sound, there should be only underwear left.
But, but behind her was Princess Xuelian! Yuehai couldn’t help but shiver at the thought. If in the near future Princess Xuelian found out that Tyr and I share the same consciousness, then the outcome…
Yuehai could foresee the headline in the Imperial news, with two condemned prisoners sentenced to death.
“Waaah~ No, I can’t look, absolutely can’t look.” Yuehai didn’t want to commit an irreparable mistake just for a feast for the eyes!
Shaking, shaking, shaking.
“Miss Yuehai, why are you squatting on the ground with your back to me? We’re both women, there’s no need to be so reserved.” Xuelian chuckles, grabs Yuehai’s hand, and with the strength of her high status, lifts her up like a little chick.
“Come on, let’s be open and honest with each other. Isn’t that the best way to strengthen friendship?”
“No, no, no, I think I’ll just wash and sleep alone.” Yuehai tightly closed her eyes, afraid to even peek, fearing the consequences of glimpsing the other’s body.
“Oh dear, Miss Yuehai, are you shy? Or perhaps you’re actually a man dressed as a woman?” Xuelian joked as she looked Yuehai up and down. Yuehai couldn’t help but sigh internally; indeed, Xuelian was a woman of extraordinary insight, always hitting the nail on the head.
“Miss Yuehai, in the ancient Eastern Vermilion Phoenix Empire, it’s said that only by being open and honest can we achieve greater understanding and communication. I want to know what you commoners are thinking. You can also ask me about life in the imperial palace. Hmph, if you don’t undress, don’t blame me, Xuelian, for being impolite!”
“Ah!! Wait, wait, Miss Xuelian, do you know that as the daughter of the current highest authority, you’re asking a commoner to undress!” Yuehai jumped in fright. However, Xuelian, with her imperial bloodline and innate power [Ninety-Five Supreme], left Yuehai with no room for resistance. In the blink of an eye, Yuehai was stripped bare.
