Chapter 706 Wu Yao part B (1/2)
Rumble!
Thunderclouds gathered above Great Wu’s capital as thunder rumbled within.
The atmosphere felt extremely oppressive.
King Wu slowly walked along a corridor in the royal palace with Wu Huang blindly following at his side.
Wu Huang looked around as he puzzledly asked, “Father, where are we going?”
King Wu’s gaze did not turn to the side. He was silent for some time before he slowly said, “Wu Huang, as someone with the sacred dragon blessing, you are a born king. In the future, you will surely soar across the nine heavens and be wors.h.i.+pped by millions.”
Wu Huang smiled as he continued, “Father, I am not surprised to know this.”
His tone was filled with haughtiness and confidence.
Countless people had looked up to him ever since he became sensible. No matter what he did, the results he achieved would draw gasps of amazement from everyone.
These admiring gazes had told him long ago that he was extraordinary.
Wu Huang chuckled before he continued, “However, you only have half of the sacred dragon blessing, while the other half is with Wu Yao. I plan to s.h.i.+ft the other half of the sacred dragon blessing in her body to you.”
Wu Huang was taken aback, a rare trace of hesitation arising within him as he said, “Father, you want to take away Wu Yao’s sacred dragon blessing? Will that hurt her?”
Although Wu Huang was young, his maturity far exceeded his peers.
King Wu calmly said, “There may be a little side effect but it will not threaten her life.”
Wu Huang’s eyes seemed to struggle.
King Wu looked straight at Wu Huang and slowly said, “Wu Huang, will you be able to accept it if Wu Yao marries in the future?”
Wu Huang suddenly raised his head and forcefully shook it as he said, “How can anyone else in this world be worthy of Wu Yao?!”
Wu Yao was his twin, and in the proud Wu Huang’s eyes their bloodline was the purest. Perhaps because they both possessed the sacred dragon blessing, Wu Huang sincerely felt close to Wu Yao.
This intimacy had slowly degenerated over the years, transforming into the desire to control her. As a result, Wu Huang would grow extremely angry when he saw Wu Yao show concern towards unimportant things.
In his eyes, nothing else was worthy of Wu Yao’s attention besides himself.
As for allowing Wu Yao to marry, it was completely unacceptable to Wu Huang.
A faint smile hung from the corners of King Wu’s mouth as he said, “If Wu Yao doesn’t have the sacred dragon blessing, she may be incapable of cultivating. In the future, she will have no choice but to stay in the palace, while you can keep protecting her. When that happens, she will listen to everything you say.”
Wu Huang lowered his head as he fell silent. In the end, he gave a slight nod.
King Wu smiled as he stroked Wu Huang’s head.
“Good boy.”
Black clouds spread in the sky as thunder boomed through the air. King Wu brought Wu Huang along the corridor, ultimately coming to a stop somewhere deep in the palace where an altar stood.
A stone bed could be seen at the very top of the altar where an unconscious young girl lay. It was Wu Yao.
Countless strange Genesis Rune flickered below the stone bed.
“Go lie down.” King Wu pointed at another stone bed beside Wu Yao’s.
Wu Huang nodded and walked up the altar. He looked at the peacefully sleeping Wu Yao for several moments before lying down as he reached out and grasped her icy hand.
He softly said, “Wu Yao, only we should be together in this world…”
King Wu slowly raised his hands as the surrounding Genesis Qi rapidly surged towards him. The strange runes on the altar soon began to flicker.
The runes squirmed as if they were alive, slowly climbing up to cover Wu Yao’s and Wu Huang’s bodies.
The runes began drilling into Wu Yao’s body, causing a look of pain to appear on her tiny face even in her unconscious state. Threads of blood seemed to wiggle in her body, flowing into Wu Huang’s body through their touching hands.
The faint roar of a dragon seemed to echo across the place.
King Wu continued to control the altar with a serious expression, not daring to allow himself to be distracted. Feverish excitement surged in his eyes. As long as today was a success, Wu Huang would enjoy the blessing alone, and his future prospects would become limitless.
When that happened, the Great Wu Empire would never fall.
“Your majesty, what are you doing?!”
While King Wu was concentrating on controlling the altar, a piercing voice suddenly rang out behind him.
King Wu frowned as his gaze swept backwards, only to find the pale-faced queen quickly walking over.
King Wu withdrew his gaze after a single glance and said in an indifferent voice, “Your majesty, this has nothing to do with you. Go back to rest.”
The queen stared at the two figures on the altar as she cried out, “You, you’re actually going to lay a hand on Wu Yao? Your majesty, are you really so heartless?!”
King Wu indifferently replied, “I’m merely removing the sacred dragon blessing from her body. In the worst case scenario, she will be unable to cultivate in the future, but her life will not be in danger.”
The queen laughed in a mournful manner. “Is everyone merely tools in your eyes?”
“You did everything back then to delay my children’s birth for three years for the sake of your plans. Do you really understand how seriously it has affected me? Do you know how much longer I have left to live?
“Even so, I do not blame you. I would willingly give my life to bear Wu and Yao Wu Huang.
“But why, why must you be so cruel to Yao’er?!”
The queen suddenly pounced at King Wu, her face filled with tears. “Let Yao’er off! Please I beg you!”
She grabbed King Wu’s arm.
King Wu was currently fully focused on controlling the altar, and was unable to concentrate due to the disturbance. He immediately shouted in anger, “Get lost!”
Rumble!
A surge of Genesis Qi exploded from his body.
The queen did not cultivate, and her body was very frail. How could she possibly withstand a wave of Genesis Qi from the king? She was immediately sent flying, cras.h.i.+ng head first into a stone pillar as blood began to overflow.
“Your majesty?” King Wu was alarmed by this and wanted to go over to help her up. However, it was currently a critical moment, and he had no choice but to stamp his foot in frustration as he heartlessly s.h.i.+fted away his gaze.
The queen slowly slid down the stone pillar, blood pouring down her face and slowly obscuring her vision,
