Chapter 662 - 565: This Is Absurd
Chapter 662 - 565: This Is Absurd
Amidst the old man’s cursing, a towering castle appeared before Zhao Yi.
Surrounding the castle were people flying on brooms or carpets, patrolling and protecting the area.
Meanwhile, armored soldiers guarded the main gate. Upon seeing the old man, they all bowed, making Zhao Yi suspect that this guy held a high position.
"You wait here, if you take even one wrong step! See those soldiers around? They’ll kill you directly!"
The old man glared fiercely at Zhao Yi and stormed off. He turned and walked to the castle’s back garden, where a beautiful and elegant girl, tall and wearing a long dress, was admiring the flowers. When she saw the old man, the queen smiled sweetly, as if the world was about to melt.
"Great Mage, you’ve come."
"Your Majesty, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
"You’re teasing me again, start with the bad news! That way, the mood ends on a high note."
"Our Source Water was defiled by someone! He drank it! And had his dragon spray it all over us!"
"What! Where is he? So bold!" The queen, who had just been gentle and noble, became full of killing intent upon hearing the report, completely forgetting there was good news!
"I’ve brought the person! Right in front!"
"Summon the other mages immediately. I want to kill him!"
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better if you met him alone," the Great Mage said with a slight smile.
Ten minutes later, the queen understood why it was better to meet alone.
The young man in front of her was simply too handsome!
Not only did he have long legs, but because his clothes were wet, you could see his abs and chest muscles. More importantly, he was dashing!
He also exuded a powerful royal aura!
This was no ordinary person! But a king ruling over some world!
The queen was enthralled, completely forgetting that this guy had just defiled the Source Water.
"Ahem!"
The Great Mage coughed, waking the queen up.
The queen put away her infatuation and coldly asked Zhao Yi:
"Where do you come from! Do you know! That Source Water is our magic-making water source! Now that you’ve defiled it, you must die!"
"Huh?"
Only then did Zhao Yi come to his senses. When he heard he was to meet the queen, Zhao Yi thought she might be some old witch, but it turned out she was a stunning beauty, so he took a few extra glances.
"You’ve now defiled the Source Water, and there’s only one way to go: death. Of course, if you don’t want to die, there’s another path!"
This time, Zhao Yi heard clearly, and he was very excited inside. He hadn’t expected the Human Emperor Bell to really bring them to the Tenth Cosmos.
"I am Zhao Yi from the Law Cosmos, the master of the New World, and I stumbled here by mistake. I hope you can forgive me for the intrusion!"
"Your apology is useless, if you don’t want to die, you must agree to our conditions!"
The Great Mage looked at Zhao Yi, giving off an air of dire consequences.
"Speak! I’ll hear it all!"
"You have to marry my queen!"
"What on earth!" Zhao Yi was completely stunned! He couldn’t immediately grasp whether this was a punishment or a pleasant surprise!
Even the Nine Dragon Jade Seal was dumbfounded; he originally thought there would be a big fight this time and was ready for battle, but this completely shattered his expectations.
The queen’s face turned red, not able to say a word.
"You defiled the Source Water, and the only way to avoid death is to become part of our cosmos, and anyone who drinks the Source Water must marry the queen!"
"Wait! What do you mean by marrying the queen?"
"It means you need to accompany her for life! Never to leave."
"I refuse! Just kill me!"
Zhao Yi responded cleanly, without a second thought. After all, the New World had just been established, and the Law Cosmos was in a life-and-death situation. How could he seek pleasure here?
The queen was stunned; she hadn’t expected Zhao Yi to refuse.
"You truly don’t want to marry me?"
"I..." Seeing the pitiful-looking queen, Zhao Yi was at a loss for words.
"Our cosmos is at a critical life-and-death transition stage, with countless cultivators following me. I can’t abandon them here!"
Zhao Yi still refused.
The Great Mage felt a bit disappointed; he thought that once he proposed the condition, Zhao Yi would agree without hesitation, and then the whole cosmos would enter a new era after the queen’s marriage!
All the mages’ powers would make a qualitative leap, but the guy in front of them just didn’t know what was good for him.
"If you refuse, there’s only the path to death!"
The Great Mage emanated a powerful aura, and Zhao Yi felt pressured, knowing this cosmos restricted him.
"Forget it! A forced melon doesn’t taste sweet! Tomorrow I’ll arrange a duel for you, if you can defeat our person, you can leave; otherwise, you must agree to our condition!"
The queen decided firmly, realizing now what the Great Mage meant by ’good news,’ yet she had to keep her spirits up despite things not going as planned.
"Alright, let’s do it!"
Zhao Yi agreed swiftly, though the Great Mage initially wanted to oppose, he realized maybe this was the only way to a breakthrough.
"Then I’ll make the preparations!"
The Great Mage excused himself, leaving Zhao Yi and the queen in the garden, the scene becoming quite awkward.
"Um, where should I stay?"
Zhao Yi, in his quest for world domination, occasionally found it difficult to interact with girls, and his awkwardness made the queen burst into laughter.
"Take a walk with me in the garden then."
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll abduct you? Then escape?"
"If you could truly abduct me, that would be fine. Though I am the queen and can decide much, I actually can’t stray far from the castle, nor can I, like you, go wherever I wish."
"Why? Aren’t you the queen?"
"Haven’t you heard of a queen bee?"
"Yes, the queen bee is responsible for producing offspring, and the other bees provide for it! Could it be!"
Zhao Yi stopped speaking, while the queen nodded, confirming his guess.
"Exactly, I’m in the queen bee’s position. If the hive collapses, the whole world collapses. I can control the world, yet not my freedom."
By the end of her explanation, the queen’s eyes were misty, her face losing its previous nobility, leaving only a faint sorrow and helplessness.
For a moment, Zhao Yi didn’t know how to comfort her, so he casually picked a flower to give to the queen.
"That flower is the most expensive in my garden, and there’s only one."
"Then I’ll attach it back on!"
Zhao Yi pretended to be clumsy, making the queen laugh heartily. Then Zhao Yi used the Time Law to restore the flower, astonishing the queen.
"You actually mastered the Time Law!"
"Yes, I just didn’t know if it would work here, so I tried it, fortunately, it was fixed."
Once confirmed, the queen descended again into sadness.
"With power like yours, how can we stop you?"
"Maybe you can’t stop me, but I don’t know how to go back!"
Remembering the Human Emperor Bell, Zhao Yi was speechless suddenly.
