Chapter 408: Renege (1/2)
The match was over. It was Xu Rou's overwhelming victory. In fact, she didn't even sweat a bit though she was a bit exhausted. Of course, it wasn't an easy win at all as she expended so much effort to overpower the enemy.
But what's important now, was that she won and their family had already won.
Xu Rou stepped out of the arena and returned to her family's side. She was met with Fan Rou's warm gaze with a compliment, ”Not only you become prettier, you become stronger too.”
Feeling the loving gaze of her husband, she almost choke and pushed him, ”Stop it. It's not the time for that. Wait until we find Jin'er.”
As a mother, she wasn't feeling any better as her son was still missing. Who knows what happened to him? Thus, she was taking her son as the priority.
Fan Rou smiled and nodded. Of course, he knew this. He was just trying to tease her.
After a few minutes of silence, Yanlu Rou looked at the unmoving emperor on his throne and said coldly, ”The match has been settled and it is our win already. Do you have anything to say about this?”
”...” The emperor didn't answer.
Being ignored, Yanlu Rou almost became agitated and wanted to lash out. But Lao Rou stopped her, ”Yanlu, enough. It is his loss already, what can he possibly do about it?”
”You don't know that, Lao.” Yanlu Rou refuted, ”They are the devils we are talking about. Do you think they will stand idly just because they lost? I'm telling you, I don't know what he will do, but he will do something about this for sure.”
Yanlu Rou had been feeling this since the time they landed here. Her guts never failed her and she knew that something was about to happen.
”So all of you, be careful.” Yanlu Rou warned her family, ”Don't let your guard down even for a split second.”
Lao Rou had nothing to say this. As a matter of fact, he was also aware of this. But he just wanted to make him believe himself that it wouldn't happen. After all, a cornered rat was very dangerous.
A long silence had passed. The universal law was now standing in the middle of the two groups. As expected, it favored the Rou family according to the rules.
However, just when the rewards were about to be announced, the emperor suddenly spoke after a long while with a cold tone, ”Ah, this is nuts.”
This is nuts? The family couldn't help but crease their brows. What was he talking about?
It has started. Yanlu Rou thought. She was already expecting this. For sure, it would be his retaliation. But what could he possibly do with a universal law present here?
”This is the worst scenario I possibly imagined and I never thought that it will really happen.” The emperor stood and opened his arms, ”But I am not willing to give out my universe. I am taking back my words.”
