Amidst a pile of minced meat and broken furniture, the naked King Quan Zhishang, searching for the switch to release him, heard his words and glared at him fiercely: "It's a favor I bestowed upon her, to make her pregnant with the emperor's child. Then, wealth and glory will be within her grasp. She doesn't appreciate the emperor's boundless grace, so what is there to say?"
With a cold laugh, seeing his attempt to argue, Wang Quan Tianxia recited two lines of poetry on the spot.
Why don't you ride the wind and soar straight up to ninety thousand miles?
"Sarcastic towards me? Heh, you're not qualified." His words didn't contain any profanity, but every sentence was incredibly offensive, and Wang Quanzhishang no longer wanted to talk to him.
He had already found the switch when he said that; he was watching him press the switch as he spoke.
"Even if I die and am nailed to a coffin, I will still shout in my decaying voice that you will pay the price sooner or later. Even if I die, there will be thousands upon thousands of others who will stand up. You have no chance of killing all the opponents."
The crystal door opened, and the Supreme King looked at him with a mocking expression, reaching out to grab his neck and listening to his last words as if he were watching a clown reciting his final words. How quite a spectacle.
"Goodbye." Just as the hand tightened slightly, about to strangle him, he suddenly realized he couldn't move his body. What was this?
"I'm not dead yet, are you in such a hurry to kill my descendants?" A slightly aged female voice came. Upon hearing this, Wang Quan Zhishang was shocked and apprehensive. Was this person about to make a move?
"Mother of the Nation..." He had originally intended to call her Grandma, but given the current situation, calling her Mother of the Nation was more appropriate. So he immediately changed his address and revealed her identity.
"I cannot allow others to know what he saw, so, Queen Mother, let me kill him!" Since she was here, she must know. He was no match for her, nor could she bring herself to do it, but she could against the power of the kingdom.
"Do you really think that only he and I know about this?" Seemingly regretful, she shook her head, uttering a sentence that utterly shattered the resolve of the monarchical ruler...
Chapter 209: The Reaction of Time
"Everything that happened here has been spread out. The news is everywhere in the city now. You'd better be prepared." Xu Qiuxin's words hit him like a heavy hammer, causing Wang Quan Zhishang, who had always maintained his tough-guy image, to tremble uncontrollably.
He gripped Wang Quantianxia's hand tightly, but he couldn't muster any strength at all. However, this powerlessness wasn't due to Xu Qiuxin; rather, it was because he had completely lost that strength.
"Heh..." With a cold laugh, he threw Wang Quan Tianxia to the ground, turned to look at Xu Qiuxin, not caring whether he was dressed or not, and asked, "He's always been your preferred candidate, hasn't he? Now that I've ruined him, can he take over?"
"In the past, a kingdom did need a strong leader, but now you are corrupt, and the country has reached the point where it needs a more enlightened and wise monarch who wins the hearts of the people. You didn't want to step down before, but this time you have been forced to. How should I put it?"
Her words were soft, hoarse, and low, each sentence jarring.
"When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked? I never thought that this very tactic I'm most familiar with would happen to me." He didn't struggle; the outcome of this matter was already predetermined, and struggling would only bring him unpredictable consequences.
He's not stupid. Even if he loses his position, he still has the ability to leave. He can leave just as easily as he wants.
But if she angered the person in front of her, with a slight wave of her hand, she might just become a corpse.
"If you could maintain the mindset you had ten years ago, you could sit in this position for a hundred years without me saying a word. But your heart has changed, it has become utterly corrupt. If I don't let you leave now, you will only lead this country to its death. Just like what you did to that little girl..."
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned Ji Xiuyu; the moment she did, the "Supreme Rule of Kings" movement exploded.
"It seems that bitch was brought here by you, right? She was originally just dumped on Wang Quan Tianxia to produce offspring, but something happened afterward, and she became a top-tier powerhouse, which is why you didn't dare to deal with her. This world is truly peculiar; one second she's just a breeding machine, and the next she's become the savior of the entire city... Pfft..."
His sarcastic manner was extremely annoying. Xu Qiuxin didn't say anything, but simply raised her hand and punched him in the stomach from a distance to quiet him down.
"Don't blame others for the trouble you brought on yourself. That girl is not someone to be trifled with. It's because you were greedy for her beauty and stole her away that this problem has arisen."
Whether she said this because she was angry at the rudeness of the supreme monarchy, or because he mocked the descendants of her former lover, only she knew the reason for her displeasure.
"Cough cough..." Even though his body was comparable to half of a Sky-Supporting Beast, he had no ability to resist such a punch.
It could also be said that he was fortunate to be in good physical condition; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as bending over, but rather his body would have split open.
"You don't need to say anything more. Now you have two choices. The first is to become the retired emperor and receive offerings from the royal family, but you will never be able to step into the court again in this lifetime."
"Second, strip away all your identity, leave all your belongings, let me bury the seal, banish you from the Royal City, and let you go wherever you want."
Xu Qiuxin's actions were too ruthless, directly driving him into a dead end.
But what could he do? Once she made up her mind, unless he had that bitch's power, he would be at her mercy, like a fish on a chopping board.
"I choose second." The first option meant there was no way out; under her and her men's watchful eye, there was nothing I could do.
Even if we're sealed away, there's still a way to leave this place.
He will not forget the idea of revenge; he will definitely, surely come back.
"Hmph..." In an instant, he appeared in front of him, placed his palm on his chest, and a seven-pointed star seal appeared, firmly suppressing his strength to the hero level.
Aside from his physical strength, which remains legendary, he can no longer use legendary abilities.
"Put on your clothes, and someone will naturally take you away from here once you leave." After leaving a set of clothes behind, she reached out and grabbed Wang Quan Tianxia, then disappeared on the spot, leaving him alone.
"Hehe..." It was that laugh again, even in broad daylight, yet it gave off an endless chill.
So what if the decision made according to the Wang family's consistent rules is implemented? With this body, he can still find a way to survive and take revenge—even if it means sacrificing everything, he will do it by any means necessary.
Perhaps this was his fate; after that morning, the imposing man was nowhere to be seen in Wangquan City.
Unsurprisingly, Wang Quan Tianxia became the next king, and was directly appointed by the Queen Mother and all the ministers.
From the moment the news was released to his taking office, only three short hours had passed.
The whole process felt like a dream, with no idea what was happening. The day changed so suddenly that it made one wonder if it was premeditated.
"Everything is taken care of." After finishing these matters, Xu Qiuxin lay back down on the chair, looking at the branches that had reached into her room, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.
"Letting him go is like planting the biggest bomb in the Wangquan family. Given the chance, this bomb will explode, and the entire Wangquan family will be buried with it. That's good, it's all over now."
If anyone heard her words, they would be surprised, as if this were all premeditated. What exactly happened?
"Chu Qiu, I won't give up... Fifty years, I've waited. At worst, I'll spend another five hundred years to find you... Don't worry, my heart and my body have always been yours... No one has ever touched me... The so-called offspring are just children born from a similar substitute... No one knows any of this... I will come to find you, wait for me..."
She closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep; she was exhausted. She needed a good rest; perhaps this was the best sleep she had had in fifty years.
The envelope she held tightly in her arms emitted a faint, eerie light, which then began to spread and envelop her body.
Her decaying body seemed to be infused with boundless vitality, and time began to flow backward. She slowly transformed from a woman in her sixties or seventies back into a twenty-year-old, gentle and beautiful woman.
Unfortunately, half of her beautiful face was hidden in the hood, with only her small, cherry-like lips showing.
Even so, her beauty is still captivating; how could anyone have been so cruel as to abandon her in the first place...?
Huh, what's this? A black cat in an evening gown?
The Christmas gift from the reader was originally supposed to be released on Christmas Day, but since there are other perks for Christmas, it's being released early.
These are a few photos from the set I took; they're alright.
It took me a while to upload it.
Where are the other photos?

Chapter 210: Your blade pierced my chest...
"Miss!" Zi Qing had been on guard for this moment, or rather, because it was a defense she herself had set up, she knew when it would break.
So the moment the shield broke, she appeared in front of Ji Xiuyu and the others, her arms outstretched, a lotus flower blooming around her, the outermost petals touching Bai Ke and the others, protecting them as well.
"Oh..." The monsters and insects that had just rushed towards us turned into dust as soon as they touched the purple petals, as if their very existence had been erased.
"Qing'er, be careful." Frowning, Ji Xiuyu looked at the sky outside and could vaguely see several shadows floating above. She knew that they were the culprits.
If it weren't for these extraordinary creatures intervening, it would have been virtually impossible to break through this shield. After all, the attacks from these monsters were utterly ineffective against the shield, doing absolutely no damage.
It was the powerful attacks from these outsiders that broke through the shield, which caused this to happen.
Ji Xiuyu, after all, possesses epic-level strength, and her perspective is vastly different from before. She can now discern at a glance which enemies are worth paying attention to.
"Don't worry, with Xiaoyu here, they can't cause any big trouble." After Ziqing activated the lotus barrier, she stood there steadily, ignoring the demons around her, and turned to look at Ji Xiuyu.
"That's not the issue; they should be more than just what they seem." It's now quite clear that someone is targeting them, meaning they'll be harassed by these creatures until the Sky-Supporting Beast and the giant monster have settled their score.
This is not a good thing. They might be preparing some powerful offensive. If Tina also loses her restraints, the chances of being immediately targeted will be even greater.
As for Ziqing...
He looked at the girl who rarely showed her face except for certain occasions, and the words his mother had once said to him flashed through his mind.
"You don't need to know Qing'er's background, and you shouldn't ask. You just need to know that she won't betray you and will always be with you."
"Even if her words are a useless piece of nonsense, you should still pay attention to them."
"If you have any problems, just go to her, and she will help you solve them."
"When it comes to making a decision, whether it's something internal or external, you just need to listen to Qing'er."
"Also, unless absolutely necessary, you must not let Qing'er lift the third or higher restriction, otherwise the consequences will be very serious..."
"Of course, this serious consequence won't harm you, but... remember, never do anything reckless."
