Chapter 236: It Cannot Be!
The Lords of the Seven Nations heaved sighs of relief upon seeing that Wang Damang was not severely injured.
The risk of breaking that union was considered gone for now.
However, the Lords of the Seven Nations still felt somewhat uneasy. They understood the temperament of the alliance members and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them for having short tempers like bulls.
They remembered that the alliance members did not give any face to those strong forces that befriended them after the battle with Langya Island.
The attitude of the Lords of the Seven Nations toward those forces was pretty complicated.
There were some expectations and fears, but in short, they didn’t want to break that relationship.
They could see that Wang Damang’s status was different from ordinary because of his position during the ceremony.
Hence, they were racking their brains to think of a way to explain the situation to him.
Of course, Wang Damang was unaware of the lords’ inner thoughts, so he remained in a daze.
From his perspective, the two forces could begin to consider each other as opponents after the ceremony. Yet, their attitudes were not reflecting that at all.
Perhaps the Sea King has yet to tell them our origin? This thought popped up in Wang Damang’s mind.
“Brother, you can leave that up to us. As an alliance, we will definitely provide you an explanation!” Tian Kun hastily spoke.
From Tian Kun’s perspective, he had the deepest involvement in this matter. The lords of the other nations would not let him off the hook if he was unable to give a proper explanation. Therefore, he was already brainstorming about how to bury this matter and give a satisfactory explanation to Wang Damang.
After that, Tian Kun turned around and glared at his second daughter, who was frozen completely, while holding the purple spear with a horror-stricken expression.
“Tian Xin, how dare you lay a finger on our honorable guest!”
Plop!
Tian Xin, who had already noticed the dreadful situation, instantly went down on her knees and eyed Tian Kun in fear, “Father, I didn’t know… all my actions are in accordance with our clan rules. I really didn’t do anything wrong.”
“There’s no need to explain. You nearly killed an honorable guest, it’s an unforgivable crime! However, you’re my daughter. So, I shall allow you to leave with dignity.”
Tian Xin’s heart sank and her face turned ashen pale instantly as she looked at Tian Kun’s cold, unforgiving eyes.
From Tian Kun’s words, she knew that there was no way that he would let her live.
The Tian Yu Clan’s affection for their children was almost nonexistent. Otherwise, they would not allow them to fight for the throne in such a murderous contest.
Tian Xin looked extremely bitter, as her hand that was holding the spear trembled violently.
She desperately wished to flee. However, with the Lords of the Seven Nations present, there was nowhere for her to escape.
Realizing that, Tian Xin raised her purple spear slowly. She gave a hateful glance to her father before transforming the spear into a purple light and sliced it across her throat. With a thump, her lifeless body fell onto the floor.
Looking at her second daughter on the ground with hatred in her eyes, Tian Kun’s expression was unmoved. Instead, he turned to Wang Damang expectantly.
“Are you serious!?” Wang Damang was in shock after witnessing Tian Xin committing suicide without any hesitation.
Are they really father and daughter?
When one asked her to kill herself, she would just take her life without any hesitation?
Wang Damang’s worldviews were instantly toppled at this moment.
He was reminded of himself when he was younger. He used to love playing video games which resulted in his poor academic results. His mother was so angry that she smashed his virtual reality headset and took a broom to beat him.
Looking at his virtual reality headset getting destroyed, young Wang Damang did not think much and grabbed another broom to fight with his mother.
If I was brought up in accordance with Lord Tian Kun’s family practices, I would have died a few hundred times. He shuddered at his own thought.
“My honorable guest, my second daughter has committed a sin and has taken her own life now. Are you satisfied with this punishment?”
Looking at the smile on Tian Kun’s face, Wang Damang wanted to give him a punch.
Are you even human?
Then, his vision fell on Tian Lan’s ashen expression.
Of course, Tian Kun noticed the admiration in Wang Damang’s eyes and said gleefully, “My honorable guest, Tian Lan is my youngest daughter. What happened is entirely my fault, so how about I give my youngest daughter to you as a servant… as an apology?”
Wang Damang was dumbfounded upon hearing that. What the fuck? Are you even human? This is too… too exciting.
The livestream was still going on and the players who were watching were all stupefied.
Crayon_Shinchan: “This is great! He allowed one daughter to commit suicide and the other to be a servant so calmly. This man’s role as a father is out of this world.”
Watermelon_Taro: “My perception has already changed at Shitun Island due to the mentally disabled clan, but this one is even better. Wow!”
Assasin_Creed: “I’m beating my chest here, why did we all leave? We should have stayed there, so that I can have some of that, too.”
Broke_Trash: “Do you guys think I’ll make it in time if I go now? (laughing emoji)”
Death_Is_Like_Wind: “I want to see what Damang will decide. I would definitely agree if it was up to me. (laughing emoji)”
…
Even though Wang Damang wanted to give Tian Kun a bad scolding for justice, he hesitated after taking a glance at Tian Lan.
This is a stunning lady, I will definitely lose her if I disagree.
“Father, I am willing to!”
Tian Lan, who was beside Wang Damang, took the initiative to speak first before Wang Damang could.
Tian Kun’s face showed great happiness upon hearing that, “Haha, great! You shall be his servant from now on.”
Tian Kun had already decided for Wang Damang before he could agree.
Tian Kun remained cheery as he looked at Wang Damang’s astounded face, “Please take my daughter with you since she is already yours. As for my two sons who dared to offend you, I shall punish them after returning home.”
Tian Kun turned around and glared at his sons, who were trembling violently as they kneeled on the ground, “Return at once!”
After his sons stood up, Tian Kun spoke to Wang Damang again, “My honorable guest, we still have some things to report to the Sea King. We shall excuse ourselves.”
Tian Kun took a respectful bow, while Wang Damang was still in a daze. He then grabbed his sons and dashed into the air with the other lords.
“Let’s go!” Tian Lan shot a look at Wang Damang.
Wang Damang could feel his heart melting when he realized that Tian Lan was willing to leave with him. He nodded quickly and led Tian Lan to the coastline. Then, he summoned his Specter Ship to Tian Lan’s astonishment.
Wang Damang was already having fantasies of his beautiful future once they boarded the Specter Ship.
The atmosphere in the ship seemed to be awkward, as the two of them had yet to say anything even after sailing for half an hour.
“Who are you exactly? My father and the other lords seemed to fear you,” Tian Lan asked.
“Me? I’m a member of the Beiqi Army!” Wang Damang replied with honesty, since he was already taking Tian Lan back.
“Beiqi? The Ruler of the Void Ocean?” Tian Lan was astonished.
Tian Lan was confused, “Father would not have treated you so, unless you’re the child of the King of Beiqi. Perhaps there are any other reasons?”
“Perhaps it had something to do with the Sea King. After all, I’m an old friend of his.”
Tian Lan had an epiphany when she heard that he was related to the Sea King, “You’re one of the Sea King’s honorable guests!”
Wang Damang was amused upon hearing the phrase honorable guest, “We seem to have a good relationship with the Sea King now, but a huge battle is on its way!”
Wang Damang shared about the Beiqi Army’s outstanding battle achievements while opposing the Sea King while Tian Lan listened in shock.
Wang Damang gushed on about how they had bullied the Sea King.
He talked about the times when they snatched the Sea King’s treasures, bullied the members of the Sea King Navy, destroyed the Sea King Navy, wiped out his Army of Death, and everything else that happened. Tian Lan’s eyes bulged while she listened, she almost thought that Wang Damang was telling tall tales.
After all, she was fully aware of how powerful the Sea King was.
However, judging from her father and the other lords’ attitudes, it seemed like Wang Damang was telling the truth.
Tian Lan was shocked and her mind was in complete disarray. Obviously, she could not believe the fact that an idiot like Wang Damang had such a big, powerful force behind him.
After another moment of silence, Tian Lan raised her head suddenly and took out a blue fruit from her waist pocket. She handed it to Wang Damang and said, “We have now left Xin Mo Island. Here’s the Son of the Sea like I promised. Now, we don’t owe anything to each other anymore!”
After tossing the Son of the Sea to Wang Damang, she stood up and walked out of the cabin.
Wang Damang glanced at the Son of the Sea in his palm, before walking out of the cabin to catch up to her. However, Tian Lan had already dove into the water.
A white wave subsequently appeared and sped off to a distant place, before vanishing from his vision.
What the fuck?
What about becoming my servant? Did she just leave… just like that?
What the fuck, where’s your basic trust? You were the one who agreed!
Tian Lan had again done the unexpected and hurt Wang Damang’s fragile heart.
Apparently, television dramas are all lies!
Wang Damang who initially thought that he had finally found a date online, sat on the deck in despair with the Son of the Sea in his arms. As he gazed at the direction where Tian Lan left, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
…
Mu Te Royal Palace, Xin Mo Island.
The Sea King’s expression was becoming more complicated as he listened to Tian Kun and the others.
“Hold on, you said that you allowed your second daughter to commit suicide as an apology and gave your youngest daughter away to be his servant?”
“Yes, my king. Such a grand act was necessary for the guarantee of a future friendship between both forces. As for my two sons, I shall punish them well as an explanation for the alliance,” Tian Kun spoke, clearly proud of his actions.
The Sea King listened and nearly snorted. Then, he gave Tian Kun a thumbs-up, “Badass!”
“My king, what does badass mean?” Tian Kun asked in astonishment.
The Sea King would definitely not tell them that it was a player slang and simply replied, “Do you know which forces they’re from?”
Tian Kun and the others seemed greatly curious when they heard that. Even though they had been in contact a few times, they still did not know which force this alliance was from.”
“They are the Beiqi Army, the force that I swore to destroy!”
“They are also the ones who annihilated the Sea King Navy. I would still be the overlord of the Void Ocean if it wasn’t for them! In other words, they are my worst enemy!” the Sea King added to further emphasize his vengeance between him and the players.
“Yikes!”
Gasps of cold breath echoed. The lords were all completely dumbstruck.
The so-called alliance force which we tried so hard to please, is actually our worst enemy?
“It… it cannot be!” Tian Kun replied, his lips trembling.
“All of you shall have plenty of chances to be in touch with them in the future. You will all understand by then!” the Sea King threw Tian Kun another look and shook his head, before turning around and walking to the rear.
Tian Kun was thoroughly dumbstruck, frozen to the spot he was standing at. Sha Shui and the rest were also wildly disconcerted. After some time, they turned to Tian Kun and gave him a thumbs-up…
“Badass!”
