“Eh……”
The corners of the Emperor’s eyes twitched involuntarily at Qin Feng’s words. This kid was too mischievous.
What if he said he wasn’t here as a guest?!
Then, wouldn’t he be admitting that he was here to find trouble with the Qin Family!!
With so many of the Qin family’s ancestors present, admitting that would be tantamount to courting death!
But to say that he was here as a guest!
He didn’t prepare any gifts, and he couldn’t just hand over the godly equipment he had on him here, could he?!
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Qin Feng quickly spoke in exaggerated shock, “It can’t be, it can’t be, the Great Emperor of Great Xia can’t possibly be an empty-handed guest!!”
Words couldn’t describe how amazed the Qin family’s ancestors felt as they watched this scene unfold. They didn’t have a single thought of helping the Emperor resolve this situation.
After all, his reckless pressure had nearly caused Yun Xi Yue to go into troubled labour. They were also aware that the Emperor was starting to go against the Qin Family.
If not for their cautiousness in avoiding an irreversible conflict, they would genuinely beat him half to death right there and then.
At the same time, these circumstances only reminded them of the plans they had to put into motion. Leaving the Emperor alone would eventually lead to him wielding his sword against their clan, putting them in great peril.
“How could that be the case? Of course, I brought gifts!"
The Emperor declared, his embarrassment evident. Knowing that no one would come to his aid, he reluctantly revealed an unpleasant smile as he took out a small wooden box, seemingly in great pain.
Opening the box, he unveiled a collection of small, intricately crafted swords, each no longer than a finger but containing a strong Sword Qi.
“Nine Sky Swords!”
The ancestors of the Qin Family were excited as they spoke of the history of the Nine Sky Swords.
It was once wielded by the genius of the previous generation, the Sky Sword God. Divided into nine distinct swords—Immortal Executioner, God Killer, Buddha’s Exterminator, Demon Subduer, Devil Suppressor, Saint Slayer, Souls Chaser, Souls Seizer, and Army Breaker.
Each sword was considered a Paladin weapon, and when combined, they formed one of the Ten Great Paladin weapons of Huang Gu. They could also be used as a sword array. Their might could rival that of an army numbering in the thousands.
However, as the years passed and the Sky Sword God’s reputation waned, the nine swords were strewn across the lands of Huang Gu. Never could the Qin family ancestors have imagined that all nine would be in the hands of this old loach.
The Emperor’s expression reflected his hesitance. Clearly, he was reluctant to part with even one of these swords.
He had invested considerable resources, manpower, and wealth to collect these nine swords, and he hadn’t even had the time to appreciate them. Yet, if he didn’t offer one as a gift, he would be compelled to give away one of the godly equipment he had on him.
Either choice was painful!
“Forget it! I’ll just close my eyes and give one away!”
As if resigning himself to his fate, the Emperor was prepared to allow Qin Feng to pick one.
He believed it wouldn’t take long for the sword to find its way back to his side. After all, with the Qin family having two geniuses at once, not only they posed a significant threat to royal authority, but they had also upset the delicate balance between the country's noble families.
Under the prosperous heavens, countless people would move for their own benefit!
With the size of the Qin family’s cake, once these two geniuses had grown up, other families were bound to lose their share of the profit.
Would they take it lying down?!
However, before the Emperor could allow Qin Feng to choose, the young boy had unexpectedly snatched the entire wooden box with an innocent smile, not forgetting to express his gratitude, “Many thanks to the Emperor for gifting these nine swords!”
Qin Feng was unaware of the history of these nine swords, but it wasn’t hard to guess from the reactions of the Qin Family’s ancestors’ reactions.
They were good stuff!!
Only adults would choose, while children would just take everything!
“I……”
The Emperor, taken aback, hastily opened his mouth, intending to clarify that he had only intended to gift one sword. But the ancestors of the Qin family, who were equally shameless, immediately seized the moment, spouting praises non-stop.
“Your Imperial Majesty is too generous, gifting the Nine Sky Swords like this!”
“This old man is moved to tears by the value you see in the Qin family. How I wish I had a daughter to wed to Your Majesty in return for your kindness.”
“Such a precious gift! I fear that the Qin family won’t be able to reciprocate your generosity!”
“Your Majesty is truly the dragon emperor! With your wealth rivalling the four great seas, why would you be concerned with these mortal items?”
“That's right! Discussing money with Your Majesty would be an insult. It's not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it. We understand the intentions of Your Majesty, and I believe that Your Majesty knows ours as well.”
“The Qin family will follow the will of the Emperor, and we will be the first to oppose who dares to speak ill of the Emperor!”
“Little brat, where are your manners? Quickly, kneel and kowtow to the Emperor to express your gratitude!”
“.........”
Qin Feng obediently performed three kowtows as if he was paying respects at an ancestral grave during a festival.
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for showing the attitude of a villain, boldly snatching the godly weapons of others without giving a single cent. You have obtained 1,000 villain points!”
'Boldly snatching?!'
Who snatched? Why was he being framed here when he was just receiving a gift?!
Strongly rebuking the system, Qin Feng expressed that it should keep quiet if it didn’t know how to speak well.
“This entire family……”
The Emperor almost had a stroke. He didn’t expect the entire clan to not even have an ounce of shame.
As if proving his thoughts, Qin Feng looked at him with innocence in his eyes, attempting to rip him off again, “Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a rule in the Jiang Hu? When a senior meet their junior for the first time, he would always give a present.”
“Pffft……”
Blood almost spewed out of the Emperor’s mouth. He had never encountered such a thick-skinned individual in his entire life.
“It seems there was a rule like that!”
The Qin family ancestors showed no fear, clearly eager to rob the wealthy together.
“This shamelessness……”
The surrounding disciples of their clan who stood by watching couldn’t help but break into a sweat.
They had lived in the Qin family for a very long time, yet they had never understood the true nature of the Qin Family.
Qin Feng started speaking in a feigned surprise, “The world is ending, the world is ending, the greatest nation of Huang Gu, the Emperor of the Great Xia is actually not giving a greeting gift when meeting his junior.”
Fuck!
'Does this little bastard have no shame?!'
If it weren’t for the presence of the Qin family ancestors, the Emperor would have definitely beaten the shit out of this shameless little bastard.
Regret filled the Emperor for not checking his fortunes today before he had left the palace. Had he done so, he might have avoided meeting such a shameless little thing who wasn’t content with extorting just Nine Sky Swords.
However, in an effort to preserve his dignity as the Emperor, he reluctantly pulled out a small jade gourd from his waist. The gourd was carved with gold cloud patterns, its appearance alone extremely striking.
“The Sky Treasure Gourd!”
The eyes of the ancestors shone as they witnessed the great wealth of the imperial family.
This Sky Treasure Gourd was not a treasure used for attacking or defending. Rather, it possessed the extraordinary ability to soothe the mind of the wearer.
It could prevent mental instability during cultivation, speed up the process, and enhance the effects of cultivation. Additionally, it proved invaluable for recovering mana during battles and was regarded as the coveted treasure of cultivators.
However, its production was too costly, and success wasn’t guaranteed. Even the Qin family dared not attempt to create such a treasure lightly. They only possessed five Sky Treasure Gourds, all of which were obtained from other sources.
“Many thanks to Your Majesty!!”
Qin Feng happily walked forward, receiving the gourd shamelessly.
“Ding dong! Master’s kindness in helping another person to protect and keep the Sky Treasure Gourd has been detected. You have obtained 1,000 villain points!”
Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction, wanting the system to speak more if it knew how to speak well.
