Chapter 399: The Empress (1/2)

Xue Wei had, in fact, killed a whole pack of Qilins and stolen all their horns alongside with two other groups of people.

Although he did not have a massive amount of Qilin Horns, he had enough to make the Emperor interested.

But he also understood what Xue Wei was saying. He was not only offering the items that he had, but he was also reminding the Emperor that everything the Vermilion Bird Clan youngsters had now, was due to his effort.

Although he did not say it directly, the Emperor easily understood him. He was once again utterly tolerant of Xue Wei and smiled.

”I will consider it,” he promised. He did not give any definite answers, but Xue Wei understood that he was not against it.

He also understood that although this man was the Emperor, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Clan, he was not able to make all decisions on his own.

There was a Retired Emperor and a Grand Elder of the Clan. These two experts usually never participated in any mundane matters, but the Thunder Flame Crown was different from ordinary decisions.

Xue Wei was not in a hurry to get the answer, either. He understood that some things could not be rushed.

After finishing their discussion about the Thunder Flame Crown, Xue Wei bid his farewell. He and his friends had the same residence as they had before, and they returned to their rooms. Here they once again began to cultivate, feed their Luan birds, and relax.

While they were busy, the princes and the other youngsters from the Vermilion Bird Clan were busy complaining to their parents about the misery they had encountered.

While many of the original members of the Vermilion Bird Clan had a positive impression of Xue Wei initially, they had changed it throughout the period they were within the Ascended's Realm.

Many of them were jealous of Xue Wei. They blamed him for the losses they had suffered, and especially after seeing that they had a Luan bird each, they were so filled with greed, jealousy, and hatred.

They had been chased for so long by the Luan bird, and now they knew why, so their complaints were in a way reasonable, they just forgot that they were the ones who had decided to abandon Xue Wei and his friends.

The princes were crying to their concubine mothers, and even the first prince went to complain to the Empress.

The Empress was a woman who had been spoiled throughout the years. She was engaged to the Emperor since a long time ago, due to their dense bloodline, and she also regarded her son as her lifeline.

She was sure that he would become the next Emperor, and to think that her treasure had suffered so grievously in the Ascended's Realm, she was full of fury.

Even more so whenever she thought of Xue Wei and his face, which reminded her of the woman she hated the most.
