###180. An old friend comes to visit. ###

"Cough cough!"

The middle-aged man from before was coughing violently; this king was in a rather miserable state!

There was no one around him anymore; he lay alone amidst the ruins, his armor shattered by the absolute force, with several fragments embedded in his body, causing the king's eyes to twitch!

"What, what is that thing?!"

The emperor from the economic superpower, now with his eyes glazed over and having long forgotten the pain, sat amidst the ruins, muttering to himself.

The appearance of that giant hand not only devastated this commercial street, but also shattered his worldview!

What immense power that must have been! Even his ancient destructive magic array, which he considered his trump card, was torn apart and destroyed in an instant!

That power was like a divine strike, shaking heaven and earth, causing all things to kneel in submission, unable to muster the will to fight against it again!

When that palm struck down, even His Majesty the Emperor, who had seen countless grand occasions, was stunned and dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to do, and even questioning his own existence!

I always felt that someone as insignificant as him shouldn't be alive under such divine power!

brush!

At this moment, Chu Xing could no longer stand by and watch. This power was something he had released with all his might, and he couldn't let Parker steal the spotlight!

Chu Xing floated ten meters in front of the emperor, his expression indifferent as he focused his gaze on the emperor, and said, "Not bad at all. You've even brought out this kind of wealth just to seek revenge on me. If I'm not mistaken, this powerful ancient attack magic array is your country's top secret, which is to say, the technique to protect the nation!"

Heh, using something like this against someone whose strength is unknown, it seems they're not just looking for revenge, but also trying to intimidate other countries, right?

Unfortunately, while this ancient magic array might be an incomparably terrifying existence for any powerful nation, it is nothing in front of me. A single palm strike can easily break it!

After saying this, Chu Xing glanced at the spies from various countries who had silently surrounded him out of the corner of his eye, and continued in a nonchalant tone: "By the way, aren't you all very curious about how that giant pit appeared, and whether those monster-hunting teams formed by various countries still exist?"

"Hmph! Give up on that idea. If the secret behind this were known, the very existence of this world would be in question!"

After saying that, Chu Xing felt he had said too much. If he continued, he might get beaten to a pulp by some exceptionally fierce girl. So he turned around, leaving his back to her, and slowly walked towards his house with Parker, who had returned to normal. He muttered to himself, sometimes loudly, sometimes softly, as if he were near and sometimes far: "Young people these days really have no idea how deep this world is. They don't understand what's behind this world!"

"... "

Everyone present was speechless, or rather, they were not worthy to speak, nor dared to speak! Heaven knows whether Chu Xing, who could destroy a commercial street at the drop of a hat and cause thousands of lives to say goodbye to this world, might suddenly have a thought because of their loose tongues and cut off all contact between the intelligence center workers and this world!

After all, no one can escape a slap like that!

...

The next day—

In just one night, the commercial street was restored to its original state!

And there were many pedestrians, and it returned to its previous bustling state!

Chu Xing was surprised. Although this was the capital of Lugunica, the damage caused by his attack could not be repaired overnight, and he did it all quietly without making a sound!

It seems...

A thought flashed through Chu Xing's mind, and he could only silently marvel at how powerful he was, which made dozens or even hundreds of great nations tremble with fear, to the point that they all worked together to restore everything to its original state in one night!

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Chu Xing was secretly marveling at his own power and invincibility, there was a knock on the door!

This startled Chu Xing! He turned around abruptly to check behind him, and after confirming that the three girls on the bed were still fast asleep, he instantly teleported to the door! He opened the door, preventing the person outside from knocking any further!

This is so exciting!

Chu Xing's heart trembled for a moment. Although he was not afraid of the so-called monarch of a country, nor was he afraid of the siege of powerful figures from various countries, at this moment, he was truly afraid. This was because Chu Xing's room was not actually this room; he had only sneaked onto this bed while the three girls were fast asleep...

Rem and Ram are both very sensitive due to their frequent battles. Normally, they would be able to sense Chu Xing climbing into bed. However, Emilia, being a young girl, is not very old and cannot maintain any consciousness while sleeping either!

Perhaps the girl could feel someone holding her in her dream, but she was too engrossed in sleeping to open her eyes! Besides, normally Rem and Ram would sometimes hold her while sleeping, after all, they had lived together for so long, and the three of them were already like sisters.

For this reason, Chu Xing said he was startled. After a moment of surprise, he said to the person in front of him in an annoyed tone, "Theresia! Why are you looking for me so early in the morning? Don't you know my schedule is packed and I don't have time to entertain any guests!"

"... "

Upon hearing this, Theresa's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly. If it weren't for the commotion she caused yesterday, she wouldn't have wanted to come looking for Chu Xing!

Perhaps in her dreams these past two years, she'd thought about what it would have been like if she'd agreed to Chu Xing's request, but those were just pointless thoughts! Theresa had no desire to be with someone with such a terrible personality! Especially since he'd made a rare visit, and yet he spoke to her like that!

Wow! Even after all these years, Theresa still thinks she's a beautiful girl, and Chu Xing talks to a beautiful girl like that like that. It really has nothing to do with the word "gentleman"!

"He's still the same annoying guy he always was!"

Theresa silently repeated this to herself, but outwardly, she forced a smile and said, "Chu Xing, you've just returned, you probably don't know what happened in our country, right? The royal family..."

"I actually found out!"

Chu Xing, too lazy to listen to nonsense, interrupted without hesitation, saying, "They're all dead, right? So, is the next step to start choosing an emperor? At this point, shouldn't the Dragon Stone select a few witches to communicate with the dragon? To continue letting the dragon control the future of this country?"

"Uh…"

Theresa was speechless.

Goodness, she's already said everything she needed to say. How is she supposed to continue?

and also!

And this is the most important point!

That annoying Chu Xing, couldn't she just let her into the room? Even though it's not winter and it's not snowing, it's still chilly outside in the wind!

Ahhhhh!

Chu Xing is such an annoying guy!

###181. Let's have a conversation. ###

"I understand the logic! It's just..."

Chu Xing stroked his chin, looking suspicious. "Why are you telling me this? If I remember correctly, that dragon seems to like girls. A man like me would never choose me to listen to him, right?"

"no."

Theresa shook her head, rolled her eyes inwardly, and said seriously, "Now, Lugnica's position in the world is in jeopardy because all of its royal family members have died. Just like yesterday, people from other countries directly stirred up such a huge uproar in the most prosperous part of our country, completely disregarding Lugnica!"

Actually, this is still relatively mild. Several powerful neighboring countries have already started to cause trouble! They've dug up countless old grievances from years ago, wanting the Senate to cede several cities to them as compensation!

"Alas, those people in the Senate are truly cowards. After talking for two days and two nights, they actually decided to send the city away! The fruits of the labor of one great sage after another are about to be given away like this! If our ancestors had lived a few more years, perhaps they could have stood up again and cleaved these useless fools in two with a single sword stroke."

In the end, Theresa, a woman of exceptional talent, showed anger on her face! The Senate's actions were truly unacceptable to a warrior like her! To cede territory for personal gain was truly unbecoming of a human being!

"So you want me to be emperor?" Chu Xing blinked and teased playfully.

"We'll have to see what happens next!"

Theresa's ambiguous response was followed by a look of barely suppressed resentment as she continued, "But now we need you to stand up and support this country! In one-on-one combat, few members of our Sword Saint family can defeat us, but when faced with one colossal nation after another, we are powerless and cannot even compare... You are different. Not only are you incredibly strong in single combat, but you can also unleash large-scale magic. Even a city cannot hold out against you for long before being bombarded into ruins!"

So, to put it simply…

Chu Xing narrowed his eyes, paused, and then laughed mockingly: "So you want me to protect Lugnica, right?"

Theresa was about to nod, but then Chu Xing immediately added, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who protects the country? Especially since this country has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"Heh, to be honest, do you really know which country I'm from? Just because I'm a bit closer to the border Count doesn't mean you'll automatically assume I'm from that country, does it?"

"I…"

Theresa was speechless for a moment!

Indeed, when she came to her door this time, she didn't learn about Chu Xing's background. Of course, the Senate didn't give her any information about Chu Xing either. After all, those old fogies didn't have much information, so how could they give it to her?

However, this did not stop those old guys from taking advantage of their age and using their status and the safety of the entire country to hold Chu Xing hostage!

It's a pity that Chu Xing truly has no feelings for this country, or rather, he has little feelings for this world. Even if this world were to be destroyed in an instant, Chu Xing would not feel the slightest bit sad, as long as his little girl is not harmed!

"but…"

A strange light flashed in Chu Xing's eyes, and he stroked his chin, saying, "Although I'm too lazy to cause trouble, if you want to find a priestess who can communicate with the dragon, I'm very supportive, and I can even help you find one!"

Hmm, I think the girls around me are all befitting of the Dragon Messenger, right? Cute, innocent, and even a little spirited! Girls like that are hard to find, I'm sure your dragon wouldn't refuse them!

After saying that, Chu Xing rubbed his lips. Heaven knows what kind of wild thoughts were running through his mind when he said those words... For example, dragon meat, Chu Xing has never eaten it before! When he first came to this world, he had been thinking about dragon meat!

"Well.."

Theresa's forehead creased with three black lines. She wanted to tell Chu Xing how disrespectful it was to have such thoughts. If those old guys in the Senate found out, she would be in for a high-sounding reprimand!

However, Chu Xing's words did make her think about many things!

Although there is no Dragon Maiden at present, in the near future, a priestess who can communicate with the dragon will be found in this world, and this priestess will become the new royal family. Lugunica will also return to peace and tranquility!

But where would we find the time to search for those pretentious witches? If no one can stand in the way of the Kingdom of Lugnica, then everything will have to come to a standstill!

Theresa felt a slight headache again as she thought about this. She took a deep breath, regained her smile, and said to Chu Xing, "It's not something we can't consider, but the current situation really doesn't allow it! If it were possible, the Senate wouldn't be pushing us so hard!"

"Humph!"

Chu Xing's face darkened upon hearing this, and he gave a cold, sneer, saying, "Where do you get your confidence that I don't know that your family has someone who is almost the strongest person on earth? Let me think... that kid should still call you grandmother, right?"

Hey! Your family is really a mess. You're not even that old, and that little guy is already calling you that. No wonder it's a big family; there's a lot going on... On a side note, do you have a lot of deformed or intellectually disabled children in your family?

"you--"

Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately understood what it meant. She raised her eyebrows, bit her thin lip with her pearly white teeth, and wanted to beat up Chu Xing!

But before Theresa could even speak, Chu Xing interrupted her, continuing on his own: "Let's get to the point! Don't try to use me. My strength has been proven by hundreds of major powers. As long as I don't cause trouble, I'll still be happy even if Lugnica is gone. So, the only ones who can save this country now are your Sword Saint family! Your family's treasures should come out! Otherwise, let this country end its history!"

By the way, that young man Reinhard is really great! Aside from not being very bright, he's fantastic in every other way!

"... "

Theresa was stunned when she heard the last sentence. She didn't know why Chu Xing knew that Reinhard existed and had an understanding of his strength!

Astrea is relatively well-guarded, and no family member would divulge family secrets. The existence of Reinhard is a huge secret to the Astrea family—a trump card that could dominate the kingdom!

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Lugnica is now in such a predicament that if no one comes to its rescue, it will be annexed by several neighboring countries!

At that time, this area was probably controlled by more countries than you could count on one hand. Could the Astrea family, relying solely on Reinhard, have occupied this place and become a regional overlord?

Theresa was lost in thought, and her own ideas began to form!

###182. Blocked. ###

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave! I still have to cook for my three little girls, I don't have time to entertain such a distinguished guest as you!" Chu Xing glanced at the girls slowly waking up in the room, casually dealt with Theresa, and was about to close the door!
