Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 988: Qing`er’s Rage

Panda Novel

The finger attack continued to descend. Qing`er's heart pounded violently. She never expected that such a thing would happen.

She clearly commanded the Marquis Madam to stop, but she was actually continuing with her attack? If this attack landed, even a casual strike from an immortal king could effortlessly reap Qin Wentian's life away.

Qin Wentian's countenance drastically changed. The destructive might surged over, filled with an unfathomable pressure. He didn't even have time to think too much. With an intention of his will, a treasure cauldron appeared before him. He could only use this ancient sacred treasure to block this strike for now. He didn't even have time to unleash his demon sword, and moreover, he might not be powerful enough to block this strike with his own strength even if he depended on the demon sword.

Only an ancient sacred treasure like the treasure cauldron would have a chance to block it.

The finger attack was able to penetrate anything. Undoubtedly, if it landed on Qin Wentian, he would definitely die. However, an instant before the finger pierced through him, the treasure cauldron appeared and took on the strike for him.

A thunderous boom sounded out, the finger attack blasted into the treasure cauldon, and the impact created fearsome sparks of fire. The might of that finger attack wasn't explosive, but its power was completely concentrated and could disintegrate anything it touched. However, it failed to penetrate the cauldron.

But even so, the impact still forced the cauldron backward, causing it to slam into Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was flung through the air, coughing out blood, before smashing unceremoniously onto the ground.

The eyes of the Everpeace Marquis Madam were extremely terrifying. When she realized that her finger attack had failed to kill Qin Wentian, she lifted her palm and prepared to blast out with indomitable might once more.

"If you dare to make another move, I will eradicate your entire clan." A voice rang out, so cold that the chill seeped deep into the bones, icy to the extreme.

What status did the Marquis Madam have? If it were an ordinary person threatening her, she would ignore it and kill the person. However this time, the person making the threat was none other than Princess Qing`er. And the tone of her voice was simply too cold. Even though she was an immortal king, the bone-piercing coldness in Qin Wentian's voice still seeped into her heart. Her lifted palm wavered in the air, but ultimately, she chose not to blast it out.

A bright light flashed, Qing`er appeared beside Qin Wentian. And at this moment, Qin Wentian had already helped himself up from the ground. His eyes were staring at the Marquis Madam as he coldly spoke, "To think the Everpeace Marquis Manor is actually a place where the rats gather. How sad."

"IMPUDENT!" The Marquis Madam icily shouted. She turned to gaze at Qing`er and said, "Princess, although this man is your follower, he used words to outrage the modesty of my daughter. Not only that, he even dared to kill my people here in my manor. He's simply a lawless tyrant. I hope Princess will be able to take charge of the situation for me. Please punish this vile creature with death."

"Of the people in your manor, one is increasingly more shameless than the rest." Qin Wentian put away his treasure cauldron, staring at the Marquis Madam as he continued, "Your daughter humiliated me by calling me a dog slave, yet she's actually twisting her words by accusing me of outraging her modesty with my words? Even if you were to give her to me for free, I would throw away a woman such as her simply for being too filthy."

"You…" Xia Lian stood up, pointing her finger at Qin Wentian. By this time, the other experts of the manor had already rushed over. Their gazes were all filled with unfriendliness and dislike when they stared at Qin Wentian. It didn't matter who was right and who was wrong, wasn't this Qin Wentian nothing more than an outsider? Since he dared to act in such a manner in their manor, he'd best prepare to die in order to pay for his crimes.

Qing`er's aura grew colder and colder. Just one second late… if she'd been slower by another instant, Qin Wentian would have died in the Everpeace Manor, under the hands of her father's subordinates.

Upon thinking of this, Qing`er clenched her fist. There was lingering fear in her heart, as well as an intense, smouldering rage. Her eyes were cold to the extreme, and with a step forward, she appeared directly before the Marquis Madam.

The Marquis Madam looked directly in her eyes without even trying to evade her gaze. She then spoke in a self-righteous tone, "I hope Princess would consider the reputation of our Marquis Manor, and mete out a punishment of an appropriate level to this man."

Qing`er's hand lifted up, causing the Marquis Madam to furrow her brows. The next instant, the expression on the Marquis Madam's face turned incomparably cold as she realized what Qing`er wanted to do. Her powerful aura gushed forth, yet she didn't dare to prevent this from happening.

—bam!—

A clear sound rang out in the air, followed by absolute silence. Everyone was staring at this scene as their hearts shuddered, not daring to believe it was real.

Even for the Marquis Madam herself, she was frozen solid, standing there with a dumbfounded expression.

She was the wife of the Everpeace Marquis, the daughter of the Cloud King. She had actually been slapped by Princess Qing`er within her own manor. In addition, this was a slap in full view of the public, in front of everyone.

"HOW DARE YOU!" An expert loyal to the manor roared in rage. Several figures stepped out as their auras gushed forth.

"GET BACK! This is the Princess. Are you guys intending to rebel?!" The Marquis Madam stared at the crowd as she shouted coldly, waking them to their senses. But even so, there were still people who were extremely infuriated. "Princess, do you know what you are doing?"

And right now, under everyone's stunned gaze, Qing`er lifted her hand once more.

At this instant, an extremely cold ray of light shot out from the Marquis Madam's eyes. "PRINCESS!"

Her voice thundered out, directly entering Qing`er's mind. However, there was no change to Qing`er's expression. She swung her hand, slapping the Marquis Madam once more.

—bam!—

The sound of this slap was extremely crisp, and similarly, this slap was practically smacking the faces of all the experts in the Marquis Manor.

Some experts gasped in disbelief, staring at Qing`er. Xia Lian and Xia Fan were both horrified, their mouths agape.

Never in their wildest dreams would they imagine that Princess Qing`er would actually slap their mother's face in public, all for the Qin Wentian's sake.

Their mother was the daughter of the Cloud King, the wife of the Everpeace Marquis. Their mother was an immortal king expert!

"Are you planning to punish me with death as well?" Qing`er coldly stared at the Marquis Madam. In her eyes, she didn't care about the status of the other party. Just now, if she'd been a step slower, Qin Wentian would have been killed by this woman. She only hated herself for her low strength. If not, how could her punishment be so simple by merely giving a few slaps? She would have immediately killed the Marquis Madam!

"Your subordinate doesn't dare." The Marquis Madam choked on her words, yet her eyes were like ten-thousand-year-old ice as she glared at Qing`er.

"You don't dare? What else is there that you wouldn't dare to do? Your son and daughter dared to touch my friend, and earlier when I commanded you to stop, you still dared to continue with your attack. In your eyes, do you still acknowledge the royal clan? Do you still have me, the Princess of the Evergreen Immortal Empire in your eyes?" Qing`er's voice was glacial. She had never used her status to suppress others before. This was the first time she had done so.

Evidently, she was truly angered. By bringing Qin Wentian home to the Evergreen Immortal Empire, she'd expected that they might encounter difficulties during the trip. But no matter what, she had never once thought that somebody in the Marquis Manor would actually dare to kill Qin Wentian. How could she not be angered?

The countenances of everyone in the surroundings changed. From Qing`er's ice-cold voice, they could clearly sense her rage. This was the youngest daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, someone whom he doted on the most. She was now talking to the Marquis Madam in the fullest extent of her authority - with the mantle of Princess, the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, and the future successor of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

The Marquis Madam also hadn't expected for things to turn out like this. It was like earlier, she could feel the coldness from the words 'eradicate your entire clan.' Even though she was an immortal king expert, she still felt traces of fear in her heart when she sensed how cold Qing`er's had become.

"Princess is too serious. However, Princess's friend is truly too outrageous. Your subordinate acted in a moment of impulse earlier, and I apologize for my mis…" The Marquis Madam gritted her teeth as she spoke.

—bam!— Another slap landed on her face. This was now the third time, and even before the Marquis Madam had finished her sentence, Qing`er had already smacked out with her palm. From the Madam's current expression, words like 'anger' were insufficient to describe her emotions.

In the tens of thousands of years since she was born, no one had ever dared to humiliate her in this manner before.

The experts of the manor could only stare helplessly. They were all speechless.

"Mother…" Xia Lian was incomparably pale. Before this, she had acted extremely bubbly and polite in the presence of Qing`er, only to remove her mask and start humiliating Qin Wentian once Qing`er was gone. From this, one could see how shrewd she was. But at this moment, all her shrewdness had been overwhelmingly shattered by Qing`er.

Xia Lian suddenly felt regret. It was her actions that had caused her mother to be humiliated like this out in public, causing the entire Marquis Manor to be shamed.

"Qin Wentian." Xia Lian glared coldly at him, as killing intent flickered in her eyes. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that Princess Qing`er would act in such a crazed manner for the sake of this man. Earlier, she and her brother had wanted to kill Qin Wentian rather than brush the matter aside with an apology. Now in hindsight, that was extremely laughable. If they had really killed Qin Wentian back then, most likely this entire manor would be buried together with him.

"Princess, even if the Madam was wrong, Princess's actions have truly wronged her. This unfairness causes chills in the hearts of all your subordinates." Somebody stood out and spoke.

"Yeah, that's right. After all, it was Princess's friend who first used words to outrage Miss Xia Lian's modesty. How can Your Highness humiliate the Marquis Manor for the sake of someone like that?" Another person spoke in a loud voice. Although that person kept his head lowered, indicating respect, his tone was filled with provocation.

The Evergreen Marquis Madam stared at Qing`er, but at this moment, Qing`er turned around and swept her ice-like eyes over everyone.

"Outraging Xia Lian's modesty with words? Is she even qualified for him to do so?" Qing`er stared frostily at everyone. These people were all slandering Qin Wentian in her presence, how truly ridiculous.

Qin Wentian tried to take advantage of her modesty with his words?

Qing`er stared coldly at everyone as she spoke, "Qin Wentian, he is the #1 ranker in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. The top expert in the City of Ancient Emperors."

As the sound of her words rang out, the expressions on everyone's face stiffened as their gazes all landed on Qin Wentian. Although many of them had never been to the City of Ancient Emperors, they had clearly heard of it before.

In the City of Ancient Emperors, the vast majority were descendants of immortal kings and emperors, and the experts there were as common as the clouds.

This man was #1 in the entire City of Ancient Emperors.

Even for the Marquis Madam, her countenance also stiffened when she heard that. She naturally understood the meaning of being #1 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Undoubtedly, Qin Wentian would certainly also become an immortal king in the future.

Xia Lian and Xia Fan froze, and upon recalling their humiliation of Qin Wentian, they felt incomparably perplexed in their hearts. But was this really the reason why Princess Qing`er was so enraged?

Naturally, it wasn't because of that. Even if this man was the #1 ranker in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, what connection would that have with Qing`er?

In that moment, Qing`er's silhouette flickered as she appeared beside Qin Wentian. She stretched her hand out and held onto him. The two of them stood side by side together. This scene caused everyone's eyes to narrow in disbelief as their hearts trembled.

"Xia Lian? Is she even worthy?" Qing`er coldly spoke. Her simple words were like the most forceful slap ever, smacking the faces of everyone. Qin Wentian and herself were a pair, so would he even take advantage of Xia Lian? Was Xia Lian even worthy of his attention?

The lies she'd told, they collapsed even without them needing to do anything to meddle!
