1040 Suffer Your Own Consequences 4 (1/2)

[The Fire Country's Emperor! ?]

Fallen upon the ground, Lin Feng stared incredulously at Jun Xie.

Jun Wu Xie remained calmly seated in her seat and her face did not show any sign of surprise. But upon the faces of even Xiong Ba and Qing Yu who had come here together with Jun Xie from the Fire Country had eyes that were suddenly filled with utter shock!

[Jun Xie was actually the Fire Country's Emperor! ? How was that possible? When they had returned here together with Jun Xie, they had not heard of any such rumours at all!]

Jun Wu Xie was calm on the surface, but she was deeply puzzled in her heart. She knew it better than anyone that she had not accepted Lei Chen's request and had definitely not accepted the Fire Country's throne of the Emperor. But the way Qu Xin Rui had put it, it sounded like it was a confirmed fact.

If that was really true, then the reason that Qu Xin Rui was trying so hard to win her favour had just been found.

Jun Wu Xie did not know how she had become the Emperor of the Fire Country, but with that added identity, that had drawn a lot of attention from Qu Xin Rui to her. The prior incident with the Devious Wyvern must have been because of her newfound identity that had absolved her of guilt and Qu Xin Rui's repeated displays of goodwill today was not just to win her over, but was targeted at the Fire Country behind her.

Jun Wu Xie found all of this highly laughable. But with the way matters stood, it was a good thing that Qu Xin Rui had misunderstood and Jun Wu Xie could not be bothered to explain it to her.

Lin Feng entire body had been in unbearable pain, but when his ears heard those words, all that pain seemed to be forgotten at that moment as he stared blankly at his father, and everything dawned upon him then.

Why Qu Xin Rui had not pursued the matter about losing the Devious Wyvern and why Lin Que had not mentioned a single word about Jun Xie after he returned from the Heavenly Cloud Chambers. Lin Feng realised that his father must have found out about Jun Xie's identity and did not dare make any more moves against the youth. But as Lin Feng had been grounded all this time in reflection, Lin Que had not had the chance to tell him about Jun Xie's real identity.

And as if by impossible cosmic chance, that chain of events had led to things suddenly falling into the current irreparable state.

Who could have thought, that the Emperor of the mightiest country throughout the lands would suddenly become the youth right before his eyes now?
