Chapter 1620: Chapter 105: Subduing the Demon Emperor! Green Phoenix Surrenders_2
The Wang family’s younger generation generally possesses exceptional talents, with no shortage of prodigies. Currently, quite a number of these prodigies in the Wang family have reached the Heavenly Human Realm, and sooner or later, they must venture to the extradinsional battlefield.
Regarding this ironclad rule, Wang Shouzhe is genuinely supportive in his heart. The extradinsional battlefield is where the human race confronts other races, and naturally, the greater one’s abilities, the greater their responsibilities.
Whether it’s Da Qian’s Wu family or the Yun family from the Immortal Dynasty, both have shouldered their responsibilities. Even the Jingan Wei family, despite their recent conflict with the Wang family over wealth, has not shirked their duty on the extradinsional battlefield.
However, for Wang Shouzhe, every mber of his clan is incredibly important, and the battlefield beyond the borders is notoriously perilous. Even though the human race’s commanders have always taken good care of promising young talents, it doesn’t change the fact that accidents are inevitable.
After all, the extradinsional battlefield is incomparable to those within borders, with extraordinarily complex circumstances, and no matter how cautious one is, it’s impossible to guard against all mishaps.
Having an expert like the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor, renowned for her speed, to escort them would drastically reduce the casualty rate.
“Mastery in escape skills…” The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor looked speechless and spoke softly, “Even if I run fast, isn’t it true that I got caught by you all?”
“That’s different. Your performance in that chase was comndable,” Wang Shouzhe praised enthusiastically. “If not for the hindrance, you had an eighty- to ninety-percent chance of escaping.”
Surviving being hunted by four strong opponents of the sa rank—including King Chaoyang, who is in the advanced stage of the Transcendent Void Realm—and still having an eighty- to ninety-percent chance to escape demonstrates the exceptional prowess of the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor.
If it had been Emperor Longchang in her position, he likely would’ve been caught imdiately.
“Fine, I’ll sign!” The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor gritted her teeth and finally signed the “slave contract,” which she had previously scoffed at, for the peace of All Saints’ Kingdom. “I hope Family Head Shouzhe will keep your promise.”
Seven hundred years might seem long, but for the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor, with her Phoenix Bloodline, it’s a negligible span in the context of her eternal life.
“Please rest assured, Senior Green Phoenix,” Wang Shouzhe said solemnly. “Our Wang family places trendous importance on keeping our promises, but in turn, Senior Green Phoenix, I trust you will not let down.”
Once the contract was established, the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s attitude toward Wang Shouzhe softened considerably: “Senior, please relax in this small residence for now. After I converse with Senior Emperor Xiu and the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, we shall discuss our future arrangents.”
With those words, Wang Shouzhe took his leave.
As he left the small residence, Wang Shouzhe was in a pleasant mood. However, upon arriving at LiuXian Residence No. 1, his expression darkened significantly.
He saw a group of Transcendent Void Realm elites gathered around a mahjong table playing cards enthusiastically, including King Chaoyang, Jiang Zhencang, Emperor Longchang, and Old Ancestor Dragon. The sounds of “chi,” “peng,” and “hu” echoed non-stop.
He had asked His Majesty to host Old Ancestor Dragon, and this is what he did?
This was simply too irresponsible.
What made Wang Shouzhe’s face even gloomier was Wang Lixian, who had transford into an adorable little girl, perched on a tree branch with an eager expression watching them play mahjong.
“Wang Lixian, have you finished the howork I assigned you today?” Wang Shouzhe asked with a frosty expression. “You’re about to enroll in the High Clan School, yet you’re still wandering aimlessly around without discipline. Are you planning to graduate in the next century?”
“Daddy~ Have you finished talking with that pretty auntie?” Wang Lixian shrank her neck and blinked her big, watery eyes. “I didn’t slack off! My two clones are working diligently on my assignnts~”
Clones doing howork?
The ntion of this only inflad Wang Shouzhe further: “So you think having more clones makes you special, huh? Fine, you co to my courtyard later, and I’ll assign howork for your clones too, and we’ll see if you still have ti to watch them play mahjong.”
With a sweep of his sleeve, Wang Shouzhe stord off.
“Oh no, oh no~ Daddy’s angry,” Wang Lixian cried pitifully. “Even my clones are getting howork. This is too cruel.”
“Lixian, why bother listening to him?” Emperor Longchang grumbled indignantly, chiming in against Wang Shouzhe. “In my opinion, he’s probably frustrated from a failed negotiation with that pretty auntie, and vented his anger on you. Let’s skip the howork today. Let’s see what Shouzhe can even do to you.”
Wang Lixian rolled her eyes.
Skipping howork wouldn’t result in Emperor Longchang getting spanked. If her father resolved to punish her, not even her mother could shield her.
Hurriedly, she jumped down from the tree and rushed after Wang Shouzhe. “Daddy! Daddy, I was wrong~~~ Boohoo, I won’t watch them playing cards anymore, okay?”
After father and daughter both left:
Emperor Longchang continued grumbling, “Shouzhe, that brat, is full of bad habits—always judging others by himself and blaming others. I bet he tried to make advances on Green Phoenix and got rejected, then ca running over to scowl at . Luckily, I’m generous and won’t hold it against him… Seven Thousand!”
“Hu! A pure suit of Seven Thousand, Four Thousand and Seven-thousand One Dragon.” Jiang Zhencang gleefully pushed his tiles forward. “Longchang, you’ve lost big this ti.”
“Longchang, if you’re going to play, focus properly or you’ll keep losing money,” King Chaoyang teased. “I had a nice hand prepared for self-drawing, but you spoiled it and made lose potential winnings.”
“Oh no!” Emperor Longchang suddenly rembered sothing. “I haven’t received any inco lately. I don’t have any spare cash to gamble with. You all continue playing; I’ll go ask Shouzhe for an advance on my stipend.”
