”Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Upon hearing the voice from the sky, Wang Lu lightly bowed and then conversed with his teammates through primordial spirit, ”Don't talk, let me speak with him alone. Golden King’s situation is very special, so your interruption will only make the situation worse.”
Aya subconsciously asked, ”Why?”
Because conversing with primordial spirit was very efficient, Wang Lu patiently explained, ”Use your head, the other side’s condition is clearly not good, so now he’s still in the overly sensitive state. If you guys with the nerve of someone that is short, stumpy and fat like a bear accidentally offends him, what do you think would happen?”
”Wait a minute, is the short, stumpy and fat like a bear referring to me?” Aya was startled into anger.
”Hey, pay attention, you’re focusing on the wrong thing here. You need to be concerned with Golden King, no matter what, he’s still your peer!”
”Yeah, about that, what’s wrong with him?”
”Hahaha, told you you’re the short, stumpy and fat like a bear, but you don’t believe. What do you think? What kind of person is this Golden King? He’s a world tyrant that has great skill and strategy. Towards loyal and outstanding subjects, he is very generous and magnanimous. But for anyone who dares to disobey him, regardless of rich and poor, high or low status, he would punish them in the most brutal and inhumane way. Why should such a king tolerate the existence of Holy Light Religion here? Did ten thousand years change his personality?”
”... In other words, he could do nothing about it?”
”Obviously. If he really has the ultimate control over the Treasure House, would he allow so many people to come to Taobao? How is it that a group of treasure-seekers from all parts of the continent, who have no allegiance to him, or even those who have no respect, take away his treasures? He is clearly just a wisp of a remnant soul, powerless to anything that happened on the continent.”
”This… is unbelievable.” Aya shook her head. Although she did not agree with how Golden King ruled his kingdom, she nevertheless admired his political and military achievements. She really didn’t think that after more than ten thousand years have passed, the situation of the former overlord would be this bleak.
”What’s so unbelievable about that? Is your current situation better than him? Aren’t you just a soul of the brave departed? Moreover, you’re a penniless soul of the brave departed, while he still has his Treasure House… Alas, in short, this is probably your two’s occupational disease, right?”
”You’re the one with occupational disease!”
”In short, Golden King is at the nadir of his fortune; if there’s no savior from the sky to help him, he would probably never recover. However, he is, after all, the world’s overlord, so he has the dignity and restraint that befits a King. Therefore, it is impossible for him to endure the affront and insult, and also could not possibly accept sympathy from people with position lower than him. Therefore, the exchange must be handled very carefully. On the one hand, politeness must be maintained, on the other hand, he has a glass heart, so, becoming overly attentive, making him feel that we are sympathizing with him is a no-no. A king needs no sympathy, only admiration and loyalty. This kind of discretion is very difficult to grasp, and only I, with a delicate heart of a professional adventurer, could cope with it. So be a darling and shut up.”
”You…”
”Okay, that’s enough. I want to converse with Golden King. I want you to pay attention and maintain the status of a beautiful, dutiful woman—say no word, but reveal an infinitely beautiful puzzled expression.”
Wang Lu was about to end his commentary through primordial spirit before suddenly, a voice suddenly rang.
”You can say it now, bastard, haven’t you had your preparation?”
”What the, Golden King?”
This time, even Wang Lu was surprised. The primordial spirit exchange was a private communication, which could be interfered and broke off, but to interrupt would require a very big skill. At least, in the Spirit Sword Sect, only the elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall could do it… Oh, that’s right, the power of Golden King was above the legendary level, thus secretly eavesdropping the conversation of his juniors would not be too difficult.
In short, regardless whether he heard it or not, life must go on.
”Em, hello, Your Majesty.”
”Humph, you seem to be very happy talking behind my back just now, bastard.”
”Hahaha, since Your Majesty has heard it, care to give us your thoughts?”
”Bastard, are you really tired of living?”
”Otherwise, would you accept my apology? Alas, I also don’t want it to be like this, but since it has come to light, I must cut to the chase. Your Majesty Golden King, I need your help, but I am also willing to offer our strength for your use. It is a fair deal, give and take. Although our strength is meager, it should serve your current need.”
Wang Lu tried to switch the tone to convince the other party, but Golden King laughed out loud instead.
”Hahaha, self-righteous bastard, do you think I need your strength? In the past, bastards who have yet to pass the threshold of high order professional like you are countless.”
Wang Lu opened his mouth and sighed. ”See, this is what I mean about glass heart. Obviously, he is now down and out, but even in his death, he still wants to save his face.”
Aya was surprised. ”Hey, why are you talking about this so openly!”
”... Sorry, I forgot. But it doesn’t matter, Golden King is not in the primordial spirit, so he can’t hear it.”
”You’re lying to yourself!”
”Bastard, if you want to go out, there’s only one way.”
Just then, Golden King interrupted Wang Lu’s self-deception.
Wang Lu said, ”Your Majesty, I knew you must have a way! Haha, how could a mere Administrator defy the supremacy of Golden King? As long Your Majesty opens your mouth, entrances would come here in an instant!”
”Humph, ignorant bastard. The rules that I made are absolute.”
