The Lord did not respond. His pupils shrank back to normal, and he calmed down.
Then he shouted again, "How dare he!"
He crumpled up the letter and strode to the mansion. The Lord was back in his study, where he put the crumpled letter on the table and started breathing like a beast.
After all, anyone who read the letter would be angered.
"My dear Lord, I am Hua An, and you can also call me Joker. I have knocked your daughter up.… So I think I have to keep her by my side. Sorry to take her away from you. I understand that as a father all you want for your daughter is that she can find a good husband, and, in this way, your grandchildren would also have a bright future. So, I have decided to take the throne and become the new Emperor. I am heading to the palace, together with your daughter. Please send your soldiers to back me up! It's urgent!"
Bang! His fist smashed into the desk.
The lord was infuriated.…
My daughter is a Princess! You are just a damn poor student and get my precious daughter pregnant! If this news spreads, my family will become a laughingstock for eternity. You killed my servants and dare to say that you want to usurp the Emperor!
"How dare you! How dare you!" The Lord was too angry to speak. He wanted to kill Xu Que very much, but he also had no idea what do. After all, he had no idea where Xu Que was at this moment. When he thought of his precious daughter being taken away by Xu Que, he hated himself for not killing Xu Que in the very first place.
…
Right at this moment, the cultivators in the Mysterious Secret Chamber were speechless. They have also seen the content of the letter and were deeply surprised by Xu Que.
"That Joker is really shameless. He even lied to the Lord that he has got the young Princess pregnant!"
"Look at the Lord. He is so angry that his face has turned red."
"Xu Que even said that he wants to kill the Emperor and become the new Emperor!"
"I think he might really be able to kill the Emperor. Have you seen the gun he just used, the ...ling gun? The gun with blue fire!"
"Gatling!"
"Yes! Gatling Gun! With that gun, I think no ordinary people could kill him!"
"I don't think so! Just as the saying goes, a man with two fists could not beat two men with four hands. The Emperor has got ten of thousands of soldiers and war horses, but he could not win."
"Wait a minute! I think the most important thing is that we have to figure out where does he get the Gatling Gun?!"
"Once a cultivator gets into the Secret Chamber, he would become an ordinary, which means that he could use the Storage Ring. Can it be possible that he has been hiding the gun on the place where his genitals are?!"
"My goodness! He must have an enormous penis!"
…
The cultivators were busy discussing all this with each other.
At the same time, something changed in the world of the illusion.
In the palace,…
Xu Que, Zixia Fairy, and the young Princess had sneaked into the palace. Just like Xu Que had said, they were running away. According to the theory of the Exploding Heavens Faction, the most dangerous place was actually the safest place. That was why Xu Que had decided to sneak into the palace.
Xu Que bought a drone from the market of the System. After examining carefully the entire palace, he had managed to find a safe spot. He easily jumped up and landed on the other side of the palace wall and got Zixia Fairy and the young Princess to the other side too. However, when they got near the palace, he found it was heavily guarded.
After all, Xu Que was just an ordinary here; so, no matter how clever he was, he could still be spotted by the guards.
"Stop there! Who you are?!" Someone shouted loudly while Xu Que was trying to sneak away. Then a few soldiers jumped out from the darkness and surrounded the three.
"Good evening, men. I am Joker and come from the Water Nation," Xu Que said politely.
"Water Nation?! I have never heard of that before. Sergeant, come and arrest these three!" The head of the guards frowned and said harshly.
Hearing this, the sergeant and some of his men got nearer to the three and put long knives against Xu Que's, Zixia Fairy's, and the young Princess's necks."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers fell to the ground.
"Ah?!" Xu Que once more exclaimed, "Who put this damn thing into my hands?! Zixia, I killed people...again?!"
He raised his head up, looked at the sky, and shouted: "It must be the damn Array of Seven Emotions and Six Desires! Why you are doing this to me?! Please stop! I really don't want to kill people anymore!"
"Joker!" Zixia Fairy held his arm and comforted him, "It's fine, this is not real!"
Xu Que sighed and shook his head, "I know it is not real, but it feels so real.... In fact, when I was a child, whenever I saw blood, I would faint. After I joined the Exploding Heavens Faction, this symptom got much better, but since then, I am still afraid of blood, and do not dare to kill people. I never thought this would become my weakness. The damn Array of Seven Emotions and Six Desires knows this, and has been taking advantage of me."
"Don't worry. As long as you are still sane, don't be devoured by the guilt. You will pass the test. Thanks to you, otherwise, we would be the ones to be killed," Zixia comforted him gently.
Hearing this, Xu Que calmed down at last and nodded. He pretended he was reluctant to pick up the gun and cleared the spot. Then he threw the dead bodies into a well nearby.
…
Seeing this, the cultivators in the Secret Chamber were all stunned.
He is really shameless.… He killed the people himself and he blamed this on the Array? He made all this up!
…
Meanwhile, the three began to head to a mansion that was supposed to be the royalties' bedrooms. To Xu Que's surprise, the young Princess was not afraid at all; instead, she was very excited all the way. After all, it was the first time for her to have this sort of adventure. After a short while, they managed to sneak into a bedroom. They found some clothes there and were about to put them on.
But they did not find any clothes that were suitable to a man. Xu Que could have gotten some from the market, but he was afraid that Zixia Fairy might get suspicious. He had no way out but to put on extravagant female clothes and some beautiful accessories.
"Brother Hua An, you look so stunning!" The young Princess looked at Xu Que and laughed, with her hands covering her mouth.
Although Xu Que was a man, he still looked very handsome, or even beautiful, with the female clothes on. When Zixia Fairy saw him, she also laughed. "Brother Hua An, stand still, I am going to help you to put on some makeup."
The young Princess got very excited and was about to put some rouge on him from a box in her hand.
"No need for this." Xu Que hurriedly backed off.
Me?! Wearing makeup?! I am a man!
"Please, brother Hua An, just a little bit, please!" The young princess still insisted and ran toward Xu Que.
"Stop it, if you do it, I would really get you preg…"
Suddenly, someone opened the door.
The three were startled, and it was too late for them to hide. An extremely beautiful and elegant woman was standing in the doorway and staring at them. She was a bit surprised, and asked coldly, "Who are you?! How dare you sneak into my bedroom!"
"Ah…"
Xu Que was stunned for only seconds, but he soon took out a handkerchief, moved his waist sexily, and said in a high-pitched voice, "How dare you be so rude to me?!"
Zixia Fairy and the young Princess were surprised.
Xu Que said to the woman proudly, "Since I came to the palace, I have always been the favorite of His Majesty. There were 3,000 beauties here in the palace, but His Majesty only loved me. I have asked His Majesty to love everyone equally, but he refuses to do so. He said he wants nobody but me.... I have been so kind, tell me why I can't come to your Pure Heart Palace?!"
