Chapter 1081 (2/2)
The emperor was too afraid to call himself an emperor before these people. His voice was kind and gentle in a friendly way of greeting an old friend.
“Do you even believe the things that you have just said?” Gu Yiyi huffed in disdain.
The emperor’s face stiffened. He heard that Gu Yiyi had a sharp tongue. It turned out that it was real.
The emperor turned his head to look at Feng Ruqing. Naturally, he knew that the spirit beasts were actually taking orders from Feng Ruqing.
“Maiden, there must be misunderstandings between us. I am opening the palace’s gate to prove my sincerity. Could you please spare my life?”
At this time, the entire palace sank into silence.
The emperor of Tianyue Kingdom who stood aloof from the ma.s.ses and had commanded the greatest respect in the kingdom had actually bowed down to this maiden, begging her to spare his life.
However, simply no one laughed at the emperor as they knew Tianyue Kingdom’s situation and the emperor had run out of choices.
“Misunderstanding?” Feng Ruqing walked toward the emperor. A gust of light breeze blew as her sleeves fluttered. With a smile on her face, she looked even more flamboyant.
“If we had lost the battle at the palace’s gate, would you still think this is a misunderstanding?”
As the saying went, the winner takes it all. If Feng Ruqing had lost the battle, she might have been held prisoner while the spirit beasts would have been completely wiped out.
Startled, the emperor closed his eyes and only opened them after a while.
“Power is nothing in this world as strength surpa.s.ses all others. I am no match for you all. I surrender. You can take my throne and all I ask is you to spare my life. I would rather live an ordinary life than die aggrieved.”
Even the lowly cricket and ant clung on to life, let alone human beings. Hence, the emperor did not feel shameful for saying this before everyone.
As long as he could stay alive, his reputation was nothing. He could even give up the throne, let alone tainting his own reputation!
