Chapter 831: 831
Wu Qi and all the other subjects of Great Yu turned to look curiously at the main entrance of the great hall . According to the arrangement of those almighty experts who founded the Heaven in those years, the crown prince of Ziwei Lingying, the Great Celestial Emperor of the Heaven, held a lofty position that second only to his father, and that made him one of the mightiest figures across the whole universe .
His status was so exalted and unique that when he arrived straight to Liangzhu from the Thirty-three Heavens, the eunuch of the court could do nothing but come into the hall to inform Emperor Haozun about his arrival .
The emperor remained in silence for a long while, the starlight in his eyes flickered restlessly . At length, he slowly raised a hand and said in a deep voice, "Granted!"
Wu Qi blinked . Emperor Haozun had only said a word, 'granted' . That was equivalent to putting himself on the position of the sovereign and looking down at the Heaven's crown prince as his subject . He was granting his subject an audience . The word had precisely exhibited Emperor Haozun's present mentality—if this crown prince dares to cause any trouble here, he doesn't mind to teach the punk a painful lesson .
Wu Qi had even sensed an unusual fluctuation in the power of the star and the natural energy of the earth vein within the great hall . It was as if a super nuclear warhead was cooking up in Emperor Haozun's body . A faint but terrible aura that made one's scalp went numb was spreading over from the emperor's direction . Ji Ao, who was kowtowing to express his gratitude, had risen to his feet and returned to Wu Qi's side . He lowered his voice and said, "This crown prince must be up to no good!"
Wu Qi nodded in agreement . How could the crown prince of the Heaven up to any good here?
Before long, the sound of footsteps could be heard as a few eunuchs brought a handsome youth into the hall . The youth wore a purple-gold double-dragon crown, a luxurious purple dragon robe strapped with a purple jade belt at the waist, and a pair of purple boots . Behind his back a clump of purple cloud shaped like a ganoderma was swirling about, in which two purple swords, shaped like crescent moons and translucent like crystal, could be seen flying back and forth nimbly .
The young man's large, bright eyes were also filled with a deep, mysterious purple gleam, which flashed brilliantly whenever he glanced around, and made him exuded an invisible air of nobility . Anyone with an uncertain mind would feel difficult to straighten up before this man's aura .
But Wu Qi just wanted to laugh . What an extraordinary purple eggplant . Purple was no doubt an extremely exalted color, for even when Primordial Immortals cultivated to the peak of their realms, their immortal energies would also be converted into strong purple energy . However, you don't have to make yourself look all purple just to show your extraordinary and exalted status, do you?
"What a big eggplant!" said Wu Qi under his breath . After hearing that, Princess Zhang Le and Ji Ao, standing next to Wu Qi, felt this crown prince of the Heaven did remember a purple eggplant the more they looked at him . They could not help but smile . Ji Ao could refrain himself better, so he only curved his lips into a faint smile, but the princess simply laughed it out, with her eyes curved into two crescent moons .
Whether it was Great Yu's emperor and his subjects, or Lord Bowang, the crown prince of the Heaven, they were all people with profound cultivation bases and sharp eyes and ears . Wu Qi's remark on Lord Bowang was clearly heard by everyone, and Princess Zhang Le's laughter was especially abrupt in the quiet hall .
The emperor and his subjects all grinned at the same time, while Lord Bowang, who carried himself like an important figure, had his face flickered between blue and purple, making him looked more like a big eggplant . He shot an angry glare at Wu Qi, then gave Princess Zhang Le a quick glance from the corner of his eye . He saw Wu Qi was just an ordinary subject of Great Yu, so his expression remained the same, but when his eyes caught the princess they lit up instantly, and his pupils constricted abruptly .
Wu Qi frowned . He gave a cold snort and glared fiercely at Lord Bowang .
Lord Bowang made no secret of his covetous toward Princess Zhang Le . His glance swept the princess up and down like two beams of light . Then, after giving Wu Qi a contemptuous look, he turned to Emperor Haozun and said indifferently, "Greeting, Human Emperor!" He did not even bow but only nodded casually .
Emperor Haozun, grinning from ear to ear, raised a hand and said, "Somebody, 'give' him a seat!"
The word 'give' was emphasized by the emperor . Several well-prepared eunuchs hastily brought out a large black stone chair and lightly placed it below the raised platform where Emperor Haozun's throne was . These eunuchs purposely placed it very close to the platform, so if Lord Bowang seated on it and wanted to talk to the emperor, he had to lift his head at an angle of nearly ninety degrees .
Looking at the chair that had been deliberately placed in that awkward position, Lord Bowang smiled calmly . He casually waved a hand, and immediately a golden chair forged of all kinds of rare materials with a soft brocade cushion placed atop appeared at his side . Slowly he seated himself on the chair carved with ninety-nine dragons, then he said with a faint smile, "Thank you for the seat, Human Emperor!"
Emperor Haozun snorted . He gave the empty black stone chair a glance and said coolly, "Great Yu is poor, so you will not feel as enjoyable as when you are in the Heaven . What brings you here today, Crown Prince? Just go straight to the point, for I'm not in the mood to waste my breath with you . too many people are killed in Liangzhu recently!"
As the present Human Emperor, it was considered extremely serious for Emperor Haozun to say like that . Just one wrong word from Lord Bowang could set off a huge conflict .
As if he had not expected Emperor Haozun to not give him face like this, Lord Bowang frowned at him for a moment, then only said slowly, "It's precisely for what has happened in Liangzhu these days that I've come here today . May I know why there is such a huge mess in Liangzhu this time? We from the Heaven take this matter very seriously . After all, the human race is . . . "
