The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Chapter 1142: I Will Take A Look But Remain Silent (1)

An old man and a young man sat in the main hall of the crown prince’s residence.

Over the past few months, the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had aged by more than a decade. His temples were graying, and weariness showed on his brow. The young man by his side looked to be at most in his early twenties. Although the two of them were dressed luxuriously, it could not hide the sorry state they were in.

“Royal Father, are we really going to ask the Kingdom of Sa Er for help?” The prince from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon looked carefully at his aged father.

The Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s face was filled with reluctance and helplessness.

After the battle with Ji Fengyan, the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s strength had declined. The border troops were hard pressed, and the Demon Clan had conquered many cities and much land. The situation within the kingdom was even more chaotic. Although the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had taken many measures, spies planted by various countries in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had become increasingly active. To the point that the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon realized that many of his key officials had been bought over by other countries.

Turmoil within and calamity without. It exhausted the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. He had never dreamt that his battle with Ji Fengyan would bring such a huge calamity on the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, to where he had no choice but to send lavish gifts to a powerful and important general in the Kingdom of Sa Er, in order to be brought to the crown prince, Long Xi’s residence.

The Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was not even qualified to meet the Emperor of Sa Er.

When he thought of the torment he had suffered over the past few months, a fierce hatred involuntarily flashed across the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s eyes.

If not for Ji Fengyan, would the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon have fallen from a powerful nation to its present state?

“If there were any other solution, I would not have come here. Ji Fengyan has brought the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon to its current state. How can I let her off easily?” The Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon said with a cold laugh.

The prince obsequiously looked at the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. If not for the fact that the Emperor’s health was declining daily, he could not have taken over any national matters. However, because the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had been too controlling in the past, when the prince suddenly took over with no experience, it threw him into a panic.

“But... will the Kingdom of Sa Er really help us?” The prince asked softly. Although he was a prince, he did not dare to be the least bit presumptuous in the presence of a vast entity like the Kingdom of Sa Er.

The Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon momentarily could not answer. He was in a desperate situation and had no choice but to gamble.

As the two of them were talking, someone slowly pushed open the door of the main hall. The Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon immediately stood up. He looked nervously toward the open door.

Long Xi and Ji Fengyan walked through the door.

This was the first time the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was meeting the crown prince of the Kingdom of the Sa Er. With just one glance, the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon gave a slight start. His gaze swept across his own son. He was unwilling to admit that compared to Long Xi, his own son did not have the kind of aura a crown prince ought to have.

But what truly shocked the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was the girl standing next to Long Xi.

As a monarch, the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had seen innumerable beautiful women. All the women in his harem were incomparable beauties, but... he had never seen a woman as beautiful as this one. The so-called beauties he had seen in the past were nothing compared to the young girl before him.

However, the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was clear about his motives for this visit. After a quick glance, he immediately snapped out of his trance. Instead, it was the careful and wary prince next to him whose eyes almost fell out of his head when he saw Ji Fengyan. His eyes never left Ji Fengyan for an instant.

“Greetings, crown prince.” The Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon said, as he looked at Long Xi.
