Chapter 756
He deliberately emphasized the word "hybrid," carrying a condescending scrutiny originating from the source of the bloodline.
These words were like cold knives, piercing into the hearts of all the half-elves kneeling below, making them instantly feel a burst of stinging pain and embarrassment. However, no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, the more Li Chen displayed this arrogance and disdain originating from "pure blood," the more inferior they felt, and at the same time, the more they were convinced of Li Chen's noble and unquestionable identity.
Only a true ancient pure-blooded King would have such an attitude toward them, these descendants with "impure bloodlines"!
Looking at the even more humble postures of the people below, Li Chen changed the subject, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness and detachment: "This seat has slept for too long, and my soul and power have been greatly depleted. Having just awakened, my strength is not even one percent of what it was. The top priority is to restore my cultivation and search for old acquaintances; how could I have the leisure to deal with your worldly affairs?"
As he spoke, it seemed to be to verify his words, or it seemed to be "troubled" by the reality of being "weak," and he inadvertently revealed a trace of aura.
"Hum—!"
In an instant, a pressure far more condensed and terrifying than when he was at the Sighing Corridor spread out from him as the center!
It was not aimed at anyone, yet it made all the powerhouses within the entire castle—no, the entire Silver Glow City—clearly feel the stagnation of heaven and earth elements and the slight distortion of space for a moment!
It was as if an invisible ancient sacred mountain had suddenly descended, pressing on everyone's heart. Although it was fleeting, it was enough to make everyone who perceived it turn pale with fright!
Loserma and all the members of the Wind-Whisperer family were completely stunned, their minds blank!
That pressure that flashed by just now was actually not the peak period of His Majesty?!
It might even be, as he said, just a negligible part that had been restored?
Then what kind of world-destroying existence would His Majesty be at his peak?!
I'm afraid a single breath could make the stars fall!
After the shock came even crazier fervor and submission!
Climbing high? No, this is simply a giant leg that they, these humble descendants, didn't even dare to think about, one that could support the entire clan to soar!
Loserma instantly dismissed the idea of tricking Li Chen into being the co-ruler of the clan; the gap was too big, it was simply unrealistic.
His only thought now was how to be the most loyal and useful dog under this "giant leg"!
He hurriedly touched his head to the ground, his voice carrying incomparable earnestness and humility:
"Your Majesty's divine power is boundless; even if you haven't recovered, it is not something we can fathom! It is Loserma who is arrogant, actually daring to disturb Your Majesty's quiet cultivation with worldly affairs! We do not dare to hope for Your Majesty's leadership, only asking that Your Majesty give us a chance, a chance to be of service to you!
Anything Your Majesty needs, whether it is searching for information, collecting resources, or dealing with some trivial matters that are inconvenient for you to handle, the Wind-Whisperer family is willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and will not refuse even if we die! Only asking to be of slight help to Your Majesty's restoration of cultivation, that would be our supreme glory!"
He said these words extremely beautifully, putting his posture to the lowest, only asking to be useful, not asking for status.
Li Chen looked at this group of half-elves below who had been completely intimidated and were eager to show their loyalty, feeling satisfied in his heart, while on the surface he still had a "this seat has no one to use, so I'll make do for now" reluctant expression.
He pondered for a moment, as if having made a difficult "choice," before speaking indifferently:
"Very well, since you have such intentions, and this seat does indeed need some manpower to handle miscellaneous affairs, I will temporarily allow it."
"Thank you for Your Majesty's grace! Thank you for Your Majesty's grace!"
Hearing that Li Chen finally "reluctantly" agreed, Loserma and all the clansmen felt as if they had been granted amnesty, kowtowing repeatedly in excitement, as if they had received a great reward, their faces filled with gratitude and glory.
From beginning to end, Sylph and Bilodisi knelt in a relatively backward position in the crowd, taking all of this in.
