Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 84 Little Wang, do you want a wife or not...?

Wang Teng was completely stunned. He never expected that the Peacock King would be there that day!

You didn't appear that early in the original story!

Now look what happened! He was bluffing in front of the other party and got caught red-handed. Even though Wang Teng knew that the Peacock King wouldn't do anything to him given his personality, he still felt embarrassed.

The Peacock King is one of the few demons who is willing to support the descendant of the Demon Emperor. Just because of Yan Ruyu's identity, he supports Yan Ruyu in wielding the Demon Emperor's weapon, even at the cost of conflict with other demons.

This alone confirms that the Peacock King has a decent personality; although he has grudges against the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ji family, he will not harm the innocent.

More importantly, if the Peacock King really attacks without regard for anything else when Wang Teng is undergoing his tribulation, Wang Teng may not be able to survive.

"That day, the Ji family made their move, but they were very clever. Rather than attacking you, they attacked their own Supreme Elder in order to save face and make you grateful to the Ji family."

The Peacock King chuckled, showing great disdain for the Ji family's methods.

"It's just that I didn't know what happened at the time, otherwise, the powerful figure from the Ji family would have stayed there," the Peacock King said confidently.

At sixteen or seventeen years old, with an innocent appearance and a slender figure, saying such a thing was truly out of place.

However, Wang Teng did not doubt the Peacock King's seriousness. With his strength, if he fought with all his might, the outcome was truly uncertain!

"I have heard of the Peacock King's strength, and I thank the Peacock King for sparing my life that day," Wang Teng said, trying to let the matter drop.

It's so embarrassing to spout nonsense in front of an audience!

"What's there to be grateful for? I'm not a hypocrite. You pose no threat to the demon race and have no grudge against me. Why would I want to kill you?" the Peacock King said casually.

His main purpose that day was to watch the excitement. If he hadn't seen everyone else making a move, and felt it would have been out of place if he hadn't, he probably wouldn't have intervened.

"Thank you very much, senior!" Wang Teng said earnestly.

That's why the Peacock King is such a famous supporting character in "Covering the Sky." The fact that he can be with Ye Fan in the future shows that his awareness is beyond what ordinary people can match.

"No need to be so polite, we have no grudges between us. If you really want to thank me..." The Peacock King looked at Wang Teng, his gaze lingering on Wang Teng's lower abdomen, "Do you have any more holy weapons? Lend me one, and I'll kill a holy lord to liven things up for you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng's muscles tensed instinctively.

Good heavens, my feeling just now was a bit one-sided. As a powerful figure who appeared in the early stages, the Peacock King was unruly, strong, and decisive in killing.

Wang Teng had no doubt that if he really lent out a sacred weapon, the Peacock King would immediately come to his door and fight to the death with the Ji family head or the Yao Guang Holy Lord!
So he immediately shook his head!
He now possesses only two sacred weapons within him. One is the Chaotic Ancient Divine Talisman, which is his life-saving trump card and should never be used lightly. Ideally, it should never be known to anyone!

Another item is the Golden Armguard, one of Wang Teng's trump cards. It can be used to launch a surprise attack in the future. If he lends it out now, when he needs it in the future, he will be considered an accomplice of the Peacock King and will be accused of plotting to kill a powerful figure from a holy family.

Although he doesn't provoke trouble and isn't afraid of it, Wang Teng is unwilling to take the blame for things he shouldn't.

Therefore, Wang Teng shook his head decisively, "No, I gave my sacred weapon to my powerful ancestor. He plans to explore the Bronze Immortal Palace."

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King sighed softly, but he was also mentally prepared.

He's just a child from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. At most, he can possess two legendary holy weapons, and even then, it's only under the watchful eye of a powerful being.

It's more accurate to say that the Wang family gave it to Wang Teng as a protector rather than saying that it was owned by Wang Teng.

"Since you don't have a sacred weapon, I won't make things difficult for you..." the Peacock King asked. Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief; he knew that encountering the Peacock King wouldn't pose any major problems.

"Then I'll be going now. I wish Senior Peacock King a great victory!" Wang Teng said, and after saying a few auspicious words, he was about to leave when Peacock King pulled him back.

"Where are you going? I haven't said you can leave yet." Peacock King grabbed Wang Teng's arm, preventing him from leaving.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't make things difficult for me?" Wang Teng said.

He tried to struggle, but the Peacock King's seemingly weak and powerless hands were like the strongest vines, wrapping them up dozens of times, and he couldn't untangle them at all!

"It's not about making things difficult for you regarding the sacred weapon, but I didn't say you could leave," the Peacock King said calmly, slowly and deliberately, as if stating the most basic principle.

"The descendant of the Demon Emperor asked me to keep an eye on you. If possible, I would like to invite you to visit the Demon Clan. In addition, I also need your identity for a purpose." The Peacock King made no attempt to hide his intentions and directly stated his purpose in keeping Wang Teng here.

"The Ji family is incredibly audacious, daring to covet the Demon Emperor's weapon and even attempting to ambush and kill the Demon Emperor's descendants. This debt must be settled. I will inevitably have a battle with the head of the Ji family. As for you... stay with me for now. I want to see whether the head of the Ji family values ​​his own reputation or the safety of his ally's descendants," said the Peacock King.

The Peacock King's voice was filled with anger as he mentioned the actions of the Ji family.

The demon race is, after all, a large race. Although it is not very united internally, it has several powerful figures in charge!
The Ji family is simply stirring up trouble for no reason; even from an outsider's perspective, that's the case.

No wonder the Peacock King, a powerful demon, was so furious.

Wang Teng never expected that the Peacock King would keep him.

"Senior, to be honest, my relationship with the Ji family is really just so-so," Wang Teng sighed and said.

"And what about your relationship with the Yao Guang Holy Land? I've heard that you and the Holy Son of Yao Guang are very close, almost to the point of becoming sworn brothers?" The Peacock King looked at Wang Teng with a half-smile.

Wang Teng's expression froze.

Damn it, I forgot that the Holy Land of Yao Guang also has a grudge against the Peacock King!

In the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, there are two major forces that have a grudge against the Peacock King: the Ji family's Yao Guang Holy Land. Wang Teng wandered around there all by himself!

To be honest, even Wang Teng himself would find it hard to find a more suitable hostage than himself, so it's no wonder that the Peacock King abandoned Ji Haoyue and came to find him instead.

"Don't worry, hostages are usually the safest; only living hostages have value." Peacock King chuckled, patting Wang Teng on the shoulder, seemingly to comfort him.

Regardless of whether Wang Teng agreed or not, he eventually followed the Peacock King on his journey.

Since a top-tier expert was willing to give him face, Wang Teng couldn't very well refute him.

The main point is that if you don't appreciate kindness, you're likely to face inhumane treatment later on.

In terms of decorum, Wang Teng has always tried his best to maintain a dignified appearance.

"I've entrusted the Ji family's divine body to my eldest disciple," the Peacock King said, then suddenly looked at Wang Teng and asked a question.

"Little Wang, do you want a wife? If you do, I'll bring Ji Ziyue to you."
