My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 649: Another Wild Day with My Husband and Big Brother’s Support! 2
No one could blame Ye Nianbai. Not only was he a child, but he was also the one who had been abducted. His shooting of Qu Gaoyang was justified and even merited praise for his cleverness and bravery. The people of the Mu Continent and Atlantis were sure to feel a surge of admiration for the boy, believing him to be a young hero of immense courage.
Indeed, as everyone heard that Qu Gaoyang had died at the hands of a five-year-old child, they all fell silent, secretly relieved that the matter was finally settled and the danger was averted.
At this moment, Qu Liushang led the way, inviting Mo Yinhe, Si Mingjing, and Bo Leng into the banquet hall.
The three of them made an entrance, drawing the attention of all present.
Qu Liushang led them to the main seats. Mo Yinhe sat to the right of Si Mingjing, Ye Nianbai to her left, and Bo Leng next to Ye Nianbai.
Ye Shen stood up from the next table, walked over, picked up Ye Nianbai, and lifted him high. "My little hero," he said, "well done! Were you afraid?"
"Second Uncle, this young master wasn’t afraid." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Ye Nianbai was not only fearless but also boldly declared, "Whoever dares to bully this young master’s Jingjing will meet the same fate!"
Once Mo Yinhe, Si Mingjing, and Bo Leng were seated and had begun to eat, the atmosphere finally relaxed completely, and the banquet continued.
Halfway through the banquet, someone outside reported that the King of Gendaya had arrived.
Qu Liushang immediately got up and went out to greet him.
Upon reaching the entrance and seeing his father’s unsteady steps, Qu Liushang quickly walked over, took hold of his father’s arm, and said, "Father, I’m sorry, I failed to protect Gaoyang."
The King of Gendaya was still furious. "No need to protect him! Have you been hurt? I heard that scoundrel gave you a gun and told you to shoot your own leg?"
Qu Liushang, his expression calm, didn’t forget to flatter. "Fortunately, Father issued the order in time. Third Brother’s subordinates saw the wanted order you issued and all turned against him, saving my life. I think, although Third Brother is reckless, he probably just wanted to scare me. He wouldn’t really have made me shoot my own leg."
The King of Gendaya snorted heavily. "He even dared to abduct the Queen of the Mu Continent! What isn’t he capable of doing? Where is Queen Si?"
"She is dining inside."
Given Si Mingjing’s current status, she was on the same level as the King of Gendaya. The only person who could host her at the banquet was the King of Gendaya himself.
The King of Gendaya recalled the last time he saw Si Mingjing; he had been high and mighty then, but now he couldn’t even consider himself her equal. Gendaya Country had always been subservient to the Mu Continent. He was reluctant to go in and face Si Mingjing, yet he knew he couldn’t avoid it.
With that thought, he inwardly cursed his disastrous son, Qu Gaoyang, half to death!
The King of Gendaya steadied his heartbeat. He walked towards the banquet hall with a face full of rage, but the moment he stepped in, he forced a smile that was painfully insincere.
"Her Majesty the Queen graces us with her presence! This old man is late. My apologies, my apologies! I shall drink three cups as self-punishment."
The King of Gendaya approached the main table, picked up a wine cup from it, poured himself three cups of wine, and offered an apology to Si Mingjing.
Si Mingjing sat still, without moving.
She lifted her gaze, smiling as she looked at the King of Gendaya. "Your Majesty, long time no see. Do you still suffer from your migraines?"
"They’ve been gone for a long time. Her Majesty’s medical skills are superb, and I had been planning to thank you in person. I didn’t expect my good-for-nothing son... You weren’t frightened, were you?"
Si Mingjing patted her chest and said, "How could I not be frightened after being suddenly abducted? I’ve visited your country twice. The first time was to treat your illness. When I left, I barely escaped an assassination attempt, clinging to life. And now, mere months later, I’ve been kidnapped again. I’ve suffered severe emotional distress. How does Your Majesty plan to resolve this matter?"
The King of Gendaya had several chests filled with pearls and diamonds brought in to apologize to Si Mingjing and to compensate for her emotional distress.
But Si Mingjing did not even glance at them.
The King of Gendaya drank three cups in a row. He was older than Si Mingjing, but while she sat, he stood.
Since he stood, the other influential officials of Gendaya present at the banquet did not dare to sit.
At that moment, Qu Liushang asked, "Ajiu..."
Si Mingjing lifted her gaze, sweeping it over him. "What did you call me?"
Qu Liushang’s voice halted, and his eyes dimmed slightly as he called her by her name, "Mingjing."
Si Mingjing scanned Qu Liushang again and asked the King of Gendaya, "Your Majesty, as a guest in your country, your prince addresses me by my name directly. Do you find that appropriate?"
She was the Queen of the Mu Continent, exalted above all. Even the King of Gendaya addressed her as ’Her Majesty the Queen.’ How could his son have the audacity to address her by name?
The King of Gendaya turned his head and glared at Qu Liushang. "Address her as ’Her Majesty the Queen’!"
Qu Liushang didn’t seem irritated, though. With a faint smile and an apologetic tone, he said, "Your Majesty the Queen, how would you like this matter to be resolved? Please, make your proposal, and we will do our utmost to satisfy it. Father, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" The King of Gendaya only wanted to settle this issue quickly. After all, sitting next to Si Mingjing was Bo Leng—a man with folded arms, leaning lazily back in his chair, ready to level the place at a moment’s notice.
The fear in conflicts between sovereigns always stemmed from an overwhelming disparity in strength.
In the face of absolute power, no matter how lofty your rank, you must bow and humble yourself.
Si Mingjing didn’t answer immediately. She paused, seemingly in thought, before saying, "As for how to resolve this matter, I’m afraid I’ll need to return and discuss it thoroughly with the Prince Regent. However, before that, I expect Your Majesty to execute on the spot the person who attempted to assassinate me! I barely escaped Gendaya with my life back then, and this old score has remained unsettled for too long. Today, Your Majesty should certainly punish the culprit severely!"
The King of Gendaya’s expression changed. That incident where she narrowly escaped death... Si Lisao had given him a harsh lesson over it afterward! That matter was long settled. And now Si Mingjing was digging up old scores, not only demanding the execution of his son but also that he execute his own queen—this was utterly preposterous!
The King of Gendaya was on the verge of losing his temper!
However, from the side, Mo Yinhe suddenly laughed and raised his glass to Bo Leng. "Big Brother-in-law, let’s have a drink. Your temper seems quite explosive today, launching twenty missiles into the sea as if they were free. Such a waste."
Bo Leng picked up his glass and took a sip. "Merely twenty. I have tens of thousands in my arsenal. If I don’t find a place to launch a few, it’ll be an even bigger waste to throw them out after they expire. Would you like me to send you some?"
"No need for that. My arsenal also holds tens of thousands, and I’m just worried I don’t have a place to deploy them. Later on, let’s find a deserted area and see who can launch them more accurately. I feel that your accuracy has improved quite a bit compared to the technology I provided you."
Bo Leng slightly raised his eyebrows. "The protective shield I sent you—didn’t you improve it as well? So what? Can’t I improve the undersea missile deployment technology you gifted me?"
Good heavens! The information exchanged between these two, with just a clink of glasses and a sip of wine, was enough to petrify anyone!
It turned out that this undersea missile deployment technology was a gift from Mo Yinhe to Bo Leng. This meant that Mo Yinhe also possessed this fearsome and impressive weapon?
