Chapter 548

Xiao Feng was waiting on a tall building on the side of the prince's mansion.

Bored, he used spiritual communication to chat idly with He Er Na.

"My goddess, have you missed me?"

He Er Na said softly: "I miss my master every moment."

"Tsk, so cheesy, not like your usual aloof and cold self."

"How should I be then? Do you like it when I act cold toward others?"

"Exactly, exactly, I love your lofty, ice‑cold demeanor!" Xiao Feng said excitedly.

Upon hearing that, He Er Na immediately said: "Hmph, vile man! Truly hopeless!" Her tone turned icy in an instant, quickly getting into character.

Xiao Feng wore a satisfied look: "Yes, just like that—the more aloof you are, the more fired up I get; I love seeing you proud and aloof yet powerless to resist me."

"Lewd! Shameless!" He Er Na snapped angrily.

"Heh, not bad—you're pretty lewd too, but our 'lewd' aspects are different." Xiao Feng said with a wicked smile.

He Er Na: …

The two flirted from a distance for a while.

Not long after, a figure appeared in the center of the teleportation array.

The Silver Scale King Xinghua, who had just left, returned again!

The youth in silver armor flew back above the prince's mansion and stopped not far before Xiao Feng.

The surrounding officials of the prince's mansion immediately asked: "Lord Silver Scale King, did you see the Supreme God? What did the Supreme God say?"

Each one anxiously inquired, wanting to know whether the Supreme God would immediately execute Xiao Feng to avenge their lord, the Cloud Orchid King.

Unexpectedly, the Silver Scale King's answer disappointed them.

This crowned king said: "His Majesty the Supreme God declared that Cloud Orchid King Itamar coveted others' supreme treasures, being inferior in skill and slain is justly deserved, having nothing to do with the Divine Realm. Adventurer Xiao Feng is powerful; the Divine Realm should not be his enemy…"

Before he could finish, the people around were already shaken.

The Supreme God actually didn't back the Cloud Orchid King, even saying he deserved death!

This is unreasonable!!

The Cloud Orchid King, after all, is one of the three great frontier kings of the Storm Divine Realm, stronger than the Silver Scale King, and could rank among the top five of the crowned kings.

Moreover, for four thousand years he has garrisoned Cloud Orchid City, accruing countless merits; looking across the entire Divine Realm, he is a renowned figure!

The Cloud Orchid King is akin to a banner of the Storm Divine Realm, his might shaking a vast expanse of the nearby elemental sea.

And such a loyal prince, who had earned many battlefield merits, was slain, yet the Supreme God merely—

—did not utter a single kind word, instead saying he "deserved death"!

Indignant!

Too infuriating!

The retainers of the Cloud Orchid King's mansion were all furious, unable to accept this outcome!

"The Supreme God is unjust, the Supreme God is unjust!"

"For a mere adventurer, they actually disregarded the prince's four‑thousand‑year contribution!"

"We refuse, we refuse!!"

These people were all loyal subordinates of the Cloud Orchid King; hearing the news, each was filled with grief and indignation, wishing to charge into the Divine Realm's palace city and, before numerous nobles and ministers, angrily denounce the Supreme God's absurdity!

Even Xiao Feng himself felt it was absurd!

What the heck is going on?

A lofty lord of the Divine Realm, a Supreme‑God‑level being, actually would not hesitate to slap himself in the face, letting a prince loyal for years die pointlessly, just to keep peace with this player of over level 300?

Has the Storm Supreme God taken water in his brain?

One acting as Supreme God shouldn't be so cowardly!

Facing things head‑on is what a strong one should do!

Xiao Feng simply couldn't understand and blurted: "Hey, did your Supreme God really say that? I killed one of your Divine Realm's three great frontier kings! Moreover, he seized my Qi Luck Supreme Treasure because he mistook it for a divine artifact, intending to offer it to your Supreme God. He's such a loyal subject—could your Supreme God really abandon him like that?"

Silver Scale King: …

Upon hearing that, the retainers became even more furious.

If Xiao Feng hadn't spoken, it would have been fine; but now that he did, they learned the truth and felt even more that their lord's death was unjust!

"The Supreme God is unjust, the Supreme God is unjust!!"

One sentence echoed through heaven and earth.

Over a hundred experts of god level or above shouted in unison, shaking the entire city.

Countless powerhouses flew up from all directions, heading toward the prince's mansion.

The whole sky seemed like a hornet's nest been stabbed, spewing out at least tens of thousands of NPCs of level 300 or above.

"What happened?"

"Why shout that the Supreme God is unjust? Could someone have suffered a grievance?"

"Hiss… listening to the earlier commotion, it sounds like the Cloud Orchid King died! And the Supreme God isn't planning to show up, making the mansion folk feel it's unreasonable!"

A crowd gathered not far away, chattering away.

Among them, some were not far off; they had overheard the earlier conversation, understood a bit, and clarified things for everyone.

Although they didn't know everything, they were pretty close—

—ten.

Soon everyone knew the course of events, each feeling deep regret for the Cloud Orchid King and that his death was unjust.

At that moment, the Silver Scale King said again: "Um… I hadn't finished what I was saying."

Xiao Feng replied speechlessly: "Whatever else, just say it all."

He just wanted to pick a fight with the Storm God, how did it end up like this?

Now the whole city is watching, the Storm God's face doesn't know where it will fall to.

This kind of thing is obviously something any strong person cannot tolerate, yet it happened!

The Silver Scale King's gaze swept over the tens of thousands of onlookers, as well as the Yunlan King's retainers in the manor, and he let out a slight sigh.

After a moment, he said: "The Main God said, adventurer Xiao Feng is strong, should not be an enemy but be won over. If Xiao Feng the warrior is willing, he can enter the Divine Kingdom and gain a position; the Monarch wishes to confer upon you the title of Weather King, though without a fief, you will enjoy honor, and at any time you can receive the Divine Kingdom's blessings, entering and leaving the Divine Realm, you will naturally have majesty."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, even Xiao Feng was stunned.

Killing a Border King not only went unpunished, but he was enfeoffed on the spot and directly given a great reward.

What the hell kind of shady move is this?

"Absurd! Absurd!"

"Simply unreasonable!"

"The Main God is crazy, the Main God must be crazy!"

The Yunlan King's retainers are all about to go mad with anger.

"I'll go confront the Main God right now!"

The retainers, unable to contain their anger, immediately set off for the Teleportation Array under the leadership of the Night Wind General.

"I'm going too!"

"We're all going!"

Swish swish swish~

In an instant, dozens, then hundreds of figures flew out, rushing in indignation to the Storm Capital via teleportation.

Xiao Feng sat on the roof, face full of question marks.

He looked at Silver Scale King Xinghua and asked, bewildered: "Brother, did you say something weird to the Storm God? He shouldn't have come to kill me, so why did he instead grant me a kingship?"

Being made a king is absolutely unacceptable!

His goal is to arm-wrestle the 24 Divine Kingdoms, preferably defeating all the Main Gods!

Being someone's subject is absolutely unacceptable to him, and even more unacceptable is that he himself was actually pardoned!

He, the illustrious Xiao Mou, is he someone who needs others to go easy on him?

If you've got the guts, come fight me head-on! What kind of hero is it to grant someone a kingship?

Simply outrageous!
