353 After You Go, Think of Me Whenever You See I (1/2)

”Your majesty, how to say it...?”

Wang Lu hesitated to open his mouth while his mind anxiously churned out lines of words.

For Golden King, in spite of in his tales of legends, there were more negative than positive. For example, he was bloodthirsty, and in his early years, he was infatuated with his very close same-sex friend...However, in the trials of the King's Treasure House, Golden King's friendly support was without a doubt. Without the several times' secret help from Golden King, by solely relying on himself, a young man who has yet to reach Jindan Stage, they would've been turned to ashes several times a long time ago… Moreover, according to historical records, being able to obtain Golden King's favor was almost a unique event during his ten thousand years of rules. However...

However, it was seriously the most difficult favor to enjoy. Golding King is indeed good, very-very good, but I am not that kind of person!

”Your majesty, thank you for your kindness, but I am not the kind of person that you think I am.”

Golden King felt strange. ”What's wrong? Don't you want this? I thought that the reason why all of you Nine Regions cultivators came here is because of this thing.”

Wang Lu was dully startled, then he took a closer look. He immediately cried inwardly, what the...

The box-shaped lump in Golden King's hand was not the infinity soap that he imagined, but a simple-styled, printed-with-ancient-Nine-Regions-text key. And when it came to the key, Wang Lu's mind quickly flashed out a guess, and only a guess.

Wasn't this key the reason why he… not only he, the entire Union of Ten Thousand Immortals of Nine Regions came to the Western Continent? The key to the Immortal Tombs!

”Sure enough, it's here…” Wang Lu gently sighed. His own guess was finally confirmed—the key to the group of immortal tombs was indeed inside the King's Treasure House. Although there were still too many questions left unanswered, such as how the key of the group of immortal tombs fell into the hands of Golden King, but since the key was already within his sight, readily available, those questions were not that important anymore.

However, inwardly, there wasn't much joy or a sense of accomplishment for Wang Lu. Everything that he did in the Western Continent was much more meaningful to him than this key of the Group of Immortal Tombs. Therefore, momentarily, he could not think of this key.

After so many ups and downs in the King's Treasure House, the end result was this key? Wang Lu could not help but become somewhat stunned.

”…”

In Wang Lu's stunned silence, Golden King has handed over the key to him. ”Take it, this is your reward.”

Wang Lu nodded and calmly received the key. The key of the group of Immortal Tombs was always better than a golden soap, so he has no reason to refuse. What about the others? A man must not be too greedy. In the final analysis, wasn't the reason the Holy Light Religion people were deprived of the authority of the administrator and simultaneously had their main foundation taken away was simply because they were too greedy?

In the beginning, they must have won Golden King's partial favor, and thus able to become the administrator of the Treasure House. However, after that, they abandoned the trust of Golden King, acting as if the Treasure House was their own property and recklessly operating it. In the end, they aroused the wrath of Golden King. Although he was just a wisp of remnant soul, he could still cause Holy Light Religion a heavy loss by using other people's hand.

But then again, when Paul was selected as the administrator, Golden King had surely left a foreshadowing. If changed to Faceless One, Ferdinand, Wang Lu or other people, they might not necessarily be complacent and walk straight into a hole… The so-called imperial scheme was indeed very imperceptible.

While thinking about some trivial matters, Wang Lu sighed. ”Then, the next…”

Golden King said, ”The next, what will happen here is none of your business. Take your people and leave this place.”

Wang Lu was startled for a moment and then he nodded.

The so-called 'What will happen is none of your business' was likely referring to not only the King's Treasure House, but the entire Western Continent. After helping Golden King oust the incumbent administrator Paul, Golden King's resurrection was just a matter of time… Although he didn't know why Golden King fell into thousands of years of slumber, in the near future, Western Continent would certainly be in turmoil because of him. And during this period, Golden King would never welcome a group of people from another continent to disturb him.

As for Wang Lu himself, although now he has indeed set a stunning feat that earned him the Golden King's favor, however, both Wang Lu and Golden King were very clear that this thing was just temporary. Based on Wang Lu's character, he would not be willing to lower himself to other people. His posture as a minister was just that, a posture. If they continued to interact for a long time, Golden King would certainly find it intolerably offensive. And when that time came, Wang Lu must face an opponent whose prestige was comparable to that of a god, while Golden King would have no choice but to destroy the talented person that he appreciated.

Therefore, rather than waiting for that scene to happen, it was better to avoid it as early as possible. After all, Western Continent was not Wang Lu's hometown. He must return to where he came from. This time's trip to the Western Continent was already long enough.

During his silence, Wang Lu calculated how much time he needed to conclude things in Western Continent. He then said, ”Give me one month to finish the things that I have started.”

Golden King, fully demonstrating the generosity of a king, said, ”Three months are needed for me to fully awake.”

”Very well, then… I will take my leave.”

Wang Lu said, looked around, and then reluctantly asked, ”Where is the exit here?”
