Ascension

"A group of frogs are passing downstream of the bridge in front of the gate. Come on, count them, two, four, six, seven and eight~~~"

At the main entrance of the palace, Guagua was in high spirits. He had been singing croaking songs all day and night, and he still didn't feel tired.

Seeing the guests coming and going, the number began to decrease.

It finally stopped, rushed into the palace gate with a swish, turned into a golden light and disappeared.

……

"The auspicious time has come!"

"The Blue Frog Country, the Red Frog Country, and the Grass Frog Country were separated for hundreds of years, and today they are reunited!"

The solemn and solemn shouts, through some kind of amplification instrument, resounded throughout the old imperial city:

"I am the ceremonial officer. With the permission of Emperor Han, I am in charge of the etiquette and rituals related to the opening of the dynasty."

"Next...I'd like to invite Emperor Han!"

All the civil servants and generals who were seated stood up and leaned their upper bodies forward 30 degrees, showing respect and respect.

They shouted again and again: "Please Emperor Han!!"

"Da da da……"

After nine dull bells, a handsome man wearing a black jade robe with golden devil fangs embroidered on his sleeves came into view.

Step by step, slowly and evenly, he walked to the throne on the high platform.

"Everyone, feel free."

"Although it is the beginning of the court, there is no need for complicated etiquette, just transition to the key points."

Lord Ye Han spoke calmly, and the courtesy officer bowed and answered, "Yes."

Immediately, the ceremony officer stood up, stood under the high platform, and inspected the entire hall seriously.

"Prince Tanggu of the original Blue Frog Kingdom, Yi of the Great Enshrinement Building, and the great nobles Zhu, Wang, Liang, Li, and Qin... are all already seated at the table!"

"The former Red Frog Kingdom, the country's leader Tang Zheng, Queen Aisha, the great minister Chi Xin, and the great nobles Yu, Lin, and He... are all at the table!"

"The great nobles of the original grass frog country, the Wan family, the Yin family, and the Cui family... are all here to attend!"

"The underground forces of the original Giant Frog Pond, Ginkgo, Crawfish, Shadow Alliance... and the remaining members of the Wind Chime Party... are all at the table!"

"The original Giant Frog Pond mercenary forces, Tiger Teeth, Stealing Fire, Iron Pan... are all here!"

"Today, all of you have witnessed that Emperor Han ascended the throne and officially unified the Giant Frog Pond!"

"The name of the new dynasty is 'Guagua', which means 'immortal original intention'. In the future, Emperor Han will lead us and guide us in the direction forward!"

……

After the announcement, the bells outside the old imperial city rang eighty-one times, and colorful fireworks were launched into the sky to celebrate.

In the palace, the entertainers played music, the dancers danced gracefully, the maids served fine wines and delicacies, and the guests drank and drank... It was really a lively scene.

"Xinfei, you are so naughty. You disappeared for so long. Do you know how anxious your family is?"

On one side of the banquet, Wang Qiusong saw off a guest who was toasting.

After returning to his seat, his face darkened, showing a trace of displeasure.

"Hey, what day is it today? Why are you saying these disappointing things?"

Wang Lutai held Wang Qiusong's shoulders, winked, rolled his eyes, and secretly tried:

"Xinfei, grandpa heard that you withdrew from the border battlefield and left with Master Han's group."

"The clothes you are wearing now obviously belong to the Fire Stealing Mercenary Group."

"Grandpa, I would like to ask, which level have you reached in cultivation now? Have you been promoted to the third level?"

On the other side of the table, Wang Xinfei put down the wine glass in her hand and suddenly laughed softly and asked:

"I dare to ask grandpa, what if you get promoted, what if you don't get promoted?"

"Ahem..." Wang Lutai coughed and said pretentiously:
  "Grandpa knows that you are not satisfied with the previous engagement."

"No, Tang Sheng has died a long time ago, so the engagement is naturally void and cannot be taken seriously."

"so?"

Wang Xinfei blinked and asked in a funny tone.

"That's it..."

Wang Lutai said a little unnaturally:

"The war in the Three Kingdoms has subsided and the order of the dynasty has been re-established. This is both an opportunity and a disaster for our Wang family."

"Even though your father is already the strongest person in the fourth level, he can't control the situation at all. Any opponent of the same level can make him miserable."

"Your grandfather and I are extremely old."

"The contracted spirit has long been half-depleted, and it still has no fighting power at its peak."

"And you...you have reached the age of marriage."

"Grandpa just wants to remind you, if there is a guy you like in the Pirate Fire Mercenary Group, you have to hurry up. Take action when it's time to take action. Bind a potential stock as soon as possible, whether it is for your own future. , it’s better to consider our Wang family, there is no harm in it!”

Wang Lutai is particularly thoughtful and thoughtful.

Wang Qiusong echoed:

"Yes, I noticed just now that the leader of the Pirate Fire Mercenary Group, the one with red hair, is quite handsome."

"And that Renwo Kuang is a bit taller, but it doesn't matter. He can hold you up if the sky falls. How safe you feel!"

"Also, is that person named Dong Feng? He used to be the leader of the three heroes of Canghai Pavilion. Thinking about it, he can't be bad now. He must be one of the potential stocks!"

Wang Lutai nodded and added earnestly:
  "Xinfei, you have to listen to what we say."

"Girls, don't always think about being self-reliant, why do you have to work so hard."

"With your appearance, figure, your position as a "horse rider", and all your shining points, there is no way you can be worthy of these people. "

"If they don't take the initiative, then you should take the initiative. I think you have a lot of pretty girls in your group, but don't let them cut off your hair..."

The two elders of the Wang family—chattered endlessly.

Wang Xinfei said nothing and listened quietly.

However, the corner of her mouth curled up, like a smile but not a smile.

But there was a trace of pity in the depth of his eyes. Looking at the two people who were supposed to be the closest, the distance between the three of them seemed to be getting farther and farther.

"Father, grandpa, is this what you want to say?"

After a while, Wang Xinfei interrupted the two of them.

"Why, aren't these important?"

Wang Lutai blows his beard and hates that iron cannot make steel:
  "I know your wings have become stronger and you have your own ideas."

"But the salt we have eaten and the blood we have shed cannot be compared to all ten of us put together!"

"If you don't listen to our advice and you will suffer losses and hardships in the future, don't come to us and cry!"

"Crying?" Wang Xinfei laughed, "Grandpa, I haven't cried in a long time."

"Since I embarked on the path of independence, I have lost a lot of blood. Look at my arms, there are still many residual scars."

After finishing her words, Wang Xinfei bowed and pointed to the center of the hall, smiling sweetly and saying:
  "It's time for me to go over. I should also congratulate Master."

"Master?"

Wang Lutai and Wang Qiusong were stunned at the same time.

They turned around, followed everyone's gaze, and saw several figures standing up from the banquet one after another.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The one who made the most noise was naturally the little giant who was nearly four meters tall.

Even while sitting, he could overlook the entire scene.

When he really stood up, everyone had to raise their heads and look at him from the bottom up.

"Congratulations Master Han!"

Let me kneel down on one knee like a mountain hitting the ground.

"Congratulations Master Han!"

Terrifying high temperatures swept through an area, and the red-haired man, who always had a ball of flame suspended above his head, followed closely and knelt down on one knee.

Everyone's pupils shrank, this man was the leader of the Pirate Fire Mercenary Group, and the power he held in his hands was comparable to Dean Du of Canghai Pavilion.

Why did he even kneel down with such a respectful attitude? Why?
  "Master Han, congratulations!"

A playful girl with emerald green hair and healthy wheat-colored skin held a pink pterosaur and bowed obediently.

"Master Han, congratulations!"

A handsome young man with long hair tied up in a hairpin walked out, with a rather literary face, slightly curled eyelashes, slightly pink lips, handsome face and a clear voice unique to the young man, which also made people unable to bear to look away.

"Master Han, woohoo, take off!"

Lin Pingfan held the wine glass, shook the jade liquid in the glass, laughed twice, and drank it in one gulp.

"..."

Bai Qian remained silent, also holding a wine glass, raising it to Lord Ye Han, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Master Han, congratulations."

The last one to arrive was naturally Wang Xinfei.

She has big reddish-brown waves, a tall figure, and plump breasts, fully interpreting the feminine charm of a peach.

Facing the figure on the throne, she smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt and knelt down on one knee without any pretense or hesitation.

Wang Lutai and Wang Qiusong—their eyes were dull.

The Ren Wo Kuang and leader of the Fire Pirates who were mentioned just now are so handsome and extraordinary, so let her seize the opportunity.

Before she could turn around, Wang Xinfei and these people fell down in front of the same person.

what does this mean?
  Confused thoughts, mixed thoughts.

Suddenly I heard a peaceful voice coming from above the throne:

"Disciples, please get up." "Huh?"

Wang Lutai and Wang Qiusong suddenly woke up from their confusion.

They pricked up their ears and tried their best to listen to what the man said:

"Now that you have become emperor, it doesn't matter whether you hide it or not."

"During the time I was teaching at Canghai Pavilion, including the border battlefields, I had a total of seven direct disciples."

"Disciple, Su Mei."

"Second disciple, Li Jingming."

"Third disciple, Wang Xinfei."

"Fourth disciple, let me go crazy."

"Sixth disciple, Bai Qian."

"Seventh disciple, Lin Pingfan."

"In the next two years, some trivial matters that I don't want to bother with will be left to them."

"Those who dare to obstruct or maliciously create difficulties should ask themselves what the consequences will be."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

From the 4th-level family head, high priest, and power leader, to children, servants, friends...

Everyone looked strange!

Among the public information, only Ren Wokuang is the confirmed direct disciple of Emperor Han.

Unexpectedly, Ren Wo Kuang only ranked fourth. There were three people before him and three people after him!
  "I see……"

"Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei have average potential. They are able to reach their current heights thanks to Emperor Han!"

"Who is Bai Qian? This is the first time I have heard of this name."

"Then have you ever heard of the word 'Shadow Flower'? She is said to have taken over the power of Shadow League's Shadow Mountain, and the entire Shadow League, along with it, was not destroyed due to heavy losses, but was thriving. It was because of her and the person called ' Lin Pingfan's man!"

The muffled chatter woven into a web and converged in one place.

Wang Lutai and Wang Qiusong looked at each other, one swallowing his saliva and the other staring with a ghostly expression.

After a while, their faces turned red, as if they had taken a big tonic and were extremely excited.

"Xin Fei is actually the direct disciple of Emperor Han?"

"This girl, with such an identity, didn't even inform us?"

"It's so dreamy. Tang Sheng died well, died wonderfully. If the Wang family can have such a relationship, why worry about not being able to grow and develop?"

……

Listen to the faint sound of joy reaching your ears.

Wang Xinfei stood up, smoothed the creases on her skirt again, and spoke in an unusually indifferent tone:

"Father, grandfather, you have been kind to me in raising me, Xinfei will remember it in my heart."

"In the future, as long as the family does not commit evil or chaos, the dynasty's fire will surely bring blessings."

"But... I have no intention of developing or growing."

"I will repay the kindness of raising you, but that's all I can do."

"From now on, I will continue to pursue the road of controlling spirits. As for the engagement and marriage you mentioned, that is my own business, and I will never let you interfere again."

"Xinfei..."

Wang Lutai smiled flatteringly and rubbed his palms together in an attempt to defend himself.

Wang Xinfei stretched out her index finger and raised it to her lips. Her cold eyes swept across it. No matter what Wang Lutai wanted to say, he was suddenly blocked in his mouth.

"Old man of the Wang family, it's better to stay calm."

"You've been thinking about this and that all day long, and I haven't seen you achieve anything, so why bother."

Lin Pingfan laughed and said helpfully.

Ren Wokuang, Bai Qian, Su Mei, Li Jingming... all also looked at her.

They didn't speak, but the invisible intimidation made Wang Lutai shrink back and dare not speak.

"Next, let's do the second thing."

Ye Hanjun chuckled, his eyes falling on Dongfang Xu.

Hearing this, the other six disciples retreated to both sides. The guests who didn't know why were forced to move their tables and chairs to make way for a large open area.

"You say it yourself, or should I say it for you?" Ye Hanjun said with a smile.

"Master Han is willing to witness a little private matter on an occasion like the opening ceremony of the imperial court. Even though he is a disciple, I am still very grateful."

Dongfang Xu clasped his fists and slowly straightened his back:

"I can handle it myself, there will be no problem."

"it is good."

Ye Hanjun nodded and then remained silent.

Seeing Emperor Han, he didn't say anything. Although the guests were confused, they didn't dare to express their anger.

Suddenly, there was silence in the hall where the heroes gathered.

"I guess you don't need to introduce yourself, you all know me."

Dongfang Xu turned around, his red pupils wandering among the people. Most of the people he looked at did not dare to look directly.

"That's right, I am the leader of the Stealing Fire Mercenary Group. I once followed Master Han to fight in and out of the border battlefield. Later, I was active in various places in the Giant Frog Pond, increasing the overall strength of the mercenary group bit by bit."

"But...I also have a name."

"Stealing fire and stealing fire is just a pseudonym transformed from my previous authority to hide my identity."

"To this day, my friends around me have long known my real name."

"When they first heard about it, they were surprised and asked questions for a long time."

Dongfang Xu's eyes fell on Huo Xin, Yan Xuehui, Dong Feng and others.

The former were laughing and joking, while the latter smiled slightly and paid attention.

Dongfang Xu showed a hearty smile and began to pace towards the guests on one side.

As he walked, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Until he stood still and saw a figure on the seat, the light in his eyes was like two suns exploding.

"Senior Qin, long time no see."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Fortunately, it's not too late now."

At some point, the surroundings were so quiet that I couldn't even hear my breathing.

At least a thousand pairs of eyes were focused on one area, and the hidden curiosity was like boiling water, which could not be calmed down no matter what.

"We know each other?"

At the seat, Qin Tianyi slowly put down his wine glass and spit out the animal bones in his mouth.

His appearance is equally extraordinary, with icy blue hair, icy blue pupils, erect facial features, and a slender figure. He is definitely a figure that cannot be ignored among young talents.

However, Qin Tianyi could still maintain his indifferent expression when he became the focus of the audience inexplicably, while Qin Quan's expression on the side had already turned ugly.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am the leader of the Stolen Fire Mercenary Group."

"Before this, I studied at Canghai Pavilion in Blue Frog Country, but unfortunately I was forced to stop halfway through."

Dongfang Xu stretched out his hot palms, and the flames above his head swayed:
  "Senior, you probably haven't forgotten my real name, right?"

"I wonder if the senior has any impression of these three words 'Dongfang Xu'?"

"Dongfang Xu?"

Qin Tianyi's eyes were dazed for a moment.

After falling into a trance, his eyes became particularly sharp. He stood up little by little, and a biting coldness shot out:

"You... are not dead?"

"Thanks to you, I'm still alive." Dongfang Xu smiled brightly.

Seeing the frost spreading, he just snapped his fingers, and the terrifying flames formed a ring of fire at an overwhelming speed, firmly covering the old and the young.

"Come on, let's have a fair fight."

"If you can defeat me, I will let you live."

Boom! !

The tongues of fire dance wildly, just like the demon of flames, baring its teeth and claws, extremely fierce.

Qin Tianyi remained silent, only his fists gradually clenched.

"No!"

Qin Quan pulled his shoulders suddenly, "Can't you see? He is already the fourth level!"

"And you, who have just reached the peak of the third level, how can you be his opponent!"

"Second Grandpa, do we have a choice?"

Qin Tianyi pushed the palms off his shoulders and looked around. There was no smile or sinister look on his face. He just murmured to himself:

"Nearly all the rich and nobles in Giant Frog Pond are here, and everyone becomes an audience to witness the battle between us..."

"Dongfang Xu, I regret it very much. If I had been more cautious and could have run to the cliff to confirm your life and death, today's situation might have been different."

"Master Han has something to say, and I will give it to you intact."

Dongfang Xu sighed with a smile, "There is no 'if' in this world!"

"If you want to fight for a way out, then go ahead and fight me!"

"Don't worry, I don't care about playing with power, nor do I care about conspiracy."

"Your Ice Winged Dragon and my Flame Boy are both perfect jade infants. We don't use our powers. We just let the two spirits fight on an equal footing. How could you be afraid of the winner like this?" (End of Chapter) )
