Chapter 864 -863: Lu Yang, you lucky bastard…
“So, Dad, are you planning to continue your incognito investigation, or are you coming back to be the Emperor?” Jiang Qun asked.
Emperor Xia reflected on his experiences of the past few days, which included either being screamed at by Lu Yang demanding the extermination of his family, or being dragged into a rebellion. He felt that it was safer to remain the Emperor.
“Let’s go back. These old bones of mine can’t take much more of this,” he said.
Jiang Qun, hearing this, was overjoyed. He quickly gave a symbolic wipe of the throne and invited his father to sit down.
After returning to his original appearance, Emperor Xia seemed to have his energy significantly drained, panting with each step he took.
Even when he sat on the chair, he couldn’t sit up straight and had to lean against the back of the chair for support.
“Father, are you alright?” Jiang Qun was startled. When he supported his father, he felt his father’s arm was as dry as dead bones, devoid of vitality, as if the father who had just been joking with him was merely an illusion.
Emperor Xia took a couple of breaths, waved his hand dismissively, and managed a weak smile, “It’s nothing serious. I just haven’t been active for a long time and my body can’t quite bear it anymore.”
Despite what Emperor Xia said, his face was extremely pale, his eye sockets sunken, resembling someone on the brink of death, which made the Crown Prince’s heart twist in pain.
His lifespan was already short, and he had forcibly drained his life force in order to enjoy himself in the past few days, worsening his condition.
“My son, I fear I don’t have much longer,” said Emperor Xia. “In this life, I can proudly claim to have lived up to the expectations of my ancestors, served the dawn people well, and upheld the nation. But I have limited energy and have not trained you and your siblings properly, which led your brothers to harbor evil intentions. Handing over Great Xia to them would be a cause for concern, even if the ancestors support it from beyond. I just can’t rest easy…”
Jiang Qun, hearing the implied message, said somewhat helplessly, “No, Dad, you’ve already had your fun once; why go through it two more times?”
The volume of Emperor Xia’s voice immediately rose several notches, and he became spirited, “Hey, what’s with you? Is being the Emperor that much of a grievance for you?”
“Enough, enough, get out of here,” Emperor Xia said impatiently, waving his hand as if to shoo away flies, ushering the Crown Prince out.
“Alright then.”
After the Crown Prince and Fairy Eternity left Daming Hall, Emperor Xia reverted to his feeble state, dried up like withered wood, with just a flicker of life left in him.
He rested on the throne he had occupied for most of his life, watching Jiang Qun’s receding figure, an expression of helpless and bitter resignation on his face, his voice weak and breathless.
“My son, my body is truly on its last legs…”
“However, I really enjoyed these past few days. Thank you, Lu Yang…”
…
Xu Xin, Eunuch Li, and the Imperial Guards were stunned as they watched Lu Yang and the Crown Prince walk out of Daming Hall.
Those who went in were Lu Yang and Xia Tian; those who came out were Lu Yang and the Crown Prince. The identity of Xia Tian was all but revealed.
Lu Yang and the Crown Prince, suspected of conspiracy, walked out unharmed. To what extent was the Emperor’s tolerance for his eldest son?!
In the Spiritual Space, Fairy Eternity let out a huge yawn.
“Tired out from playing, time for a sleep, Xiao Yangzi, I’m returning this body to you.”
“Ah, what?”
Lu Yang, still not quite understanding what had happened, saw Fairy Eternity, dressed in the Emperor’s robes, lie down and fall asleep, curling up serenely into dreamland. He, in turn, regained control of his physical form after a long absence.
“Elder Brother Lu Yang, what’s wrong?” Jiang Qun saw Lu Yang pause suddenly.
“It’s nothing, nothing at all.”
“Then let us part ways here,” Jiang Qun said, bidding farewell to Lu Yang with a formal gesture.
“Goodbye.”
As Lu Yang regained his physical body, his soul had greatly advanced from fighting the Invincible Nascent Soul in the Spiritual Space, and there should have been some misalignment between his soul and his body. To Lu Yang’s surprise, however, he felt his soul and body were in perfect harmony.
This meant that Fairy Eternity had been aiding Lu Yang in cultivating his physical body all this time, synchronizing its growth pace with his soul.
“Fairies are indeed reliable,” Lu Yang said cheerfully as he returned to the Meng Residence, pushed open his room door, and saw Ao Ling and the other two ladies staring at him, their eyes gleaming green as if they had spotted prey.
Lu Yang suddenly remembered that his room was still occupied by three ancient semi-immortals!
Fairy, how about you keep controlling my body? I can’t handle this situation.
“Senior Brother is back?” Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi sharply noticed the change in Lu Yang’s demeanor, deducing that Immortal Sister must have returned the body to Elder Brother Lu Yang.
“That was quick,” Jin Caiwei said in surprise, looking at Lu Yang. The three of them had just been discussing which faction Lu Yang should join to get diplomatic immunity.
To be precise, it was Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi who were discussing, and she was eavesdropping.
Even more precisely, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi were about to come to blows.
Now it seems there’s no need for a fight, Lu Yang has returned unharmed, which clearly means there’s no problem.
“Where’s Xia Tian?” Jin Caiwei wondered why only one of them came back.
Lu Yang had no choice but to explain the whole story, emphasizing that Xia Tian was Emperor Xia, and their trip to the Imperial Palace was not about stealing the throne, but rather helping someone move.
“So it’s Emperor Xia, I did wonder why there were several Transcendence Tribulation Stage individuals secretly following him. That explains it,” Jiang Lianyi nodded, unfazed by Xia Tian’s identity.
Ao Ling and Jin Caiwei didn’t sense the presence of those in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage lurking in the shadows, only Jiang Lianyi could sense it. Her Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit Outline allowed her to sense beings weaker than herself.
At the same time, Meng Jingzhou emerged from a brief seclusion, and though it had only been seven days, he had gained much from it.
“What, Lu Yang reported the Fourth Prince for rebellion?” Meng Jingzhou inquired about the recent events upon leaving seclusion and immediately heard explosive news.
Meng Jingzhou was filled with regret for choosing to seclude himself at such a time; he missed out on all the excitement.
“The Fifth Prince’s residence was also searched?” Meng Jingzhou listened with amusement. Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that the issue with the Fifth Prince was probably related to Lu Yang as well.
“The throne was stolen by Lu Yang, and now he’s accused of plotting a rebellion?” Although the incident regarding Lu Yang stealing the throne was kept confidential, the arrests were made by the Ministry of Punishments from the Meng Family, so confidentiality was not extended to them.
Meng Jingzhou was left dumbfounded by the news. Had he been in seclusion for seven days or seven years? So much had happened. Lu Yang really had some nerve.
“What, you’re telling me our family hasn’t even pulled any strings yet, and Lu Yang has safely returned?” Upon hearing so much about Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou couldn’t help but seek him out.
Lu Yang lived right next to him. Meng Jingzhou pushed open Lu Yang’s door and laughed heartily, “Old Lu, I hear you’re thinking of staging a rebellion?”
Then he suddenly saw Lu Yang, surrounded by two incredibly beautiful women and a girl. His luck with women was enviable.
Meng Jingzhou was just about to be green with envy, his head still foggy from just finishing his seclusion, but now realization dawned on him, and his hot blood cooled off, recalling that Lu Yang was currently possessed by Fairy Eternity. He felt instantly consoled.
“Don’t talk nonsense, that’s not true. It’s all rumors,” Lu Yang quickly denied.
Meng Jingzhou instantly realized from the tone that it was indeed Lu Yang speaking!
“Lu Yang, you lucky dog…”
Lu Yang immediately kicked out, sending Meng Jingzhou flying out of the room, cutting off his words.
If the Qilin Immortal heard that, who knows what might happen.
