Chapter 934: Leading to a Death Tribulation
The Jinghe Long Wang had now revealed his identity and was even acting humble before the Tang Huang Li Shimin.
If he had come without a reason, the Tang Huang Li Shimin would never believe it. Being able to do this showed that the Jinghe Long Wang must have something to ask for.
Otherwise, as the Tang Huang Li Shimin said, he was the Human Emperor of the mortal world, and the Jinghe Long Wang was the emperor of an aquatic tribe; their statuses were equal.
There was absolutely no need to be so polite.
"Alas, Tang Huang, you do not know. I am now burdened by a death tribulation, and only you, Tang Huang, can save me!"
Facing the Tang Huang Li Shimin, the Jinghe Long Wang bowed and made his request.
He would be beheaded by the Great Tang Chancellor Wei Zheng tomorrow at noon; time was running out, so the Jinghe Long Wang had no heart for small talk with the Tang Huang Li Shimin.
"Jinghe Long Wang, why must you do this?!" The Tang Huang Li Shimin took two steps in one and came to the Jinghe Long Wang's side, helping him up.
The reason he did this was not because the Tang Huang Li Shimin had any respect for the Jinghe Long Wang, but because he was perfectly clear about one thing: to make the emperor of the Jinghe aquatic tribe adopt such a posture,
the matter requested must not be a small one. And as the Jinghe Long Wang said, the request was for his life.
The Tang Huang Li Shimin did this so that if the matter exceeded his psychological acceptance, he could simply flick his sleeves and leave.
Because he had not accepted the Jinghe Long Wang's courtesy, there would be no issue of them falling out.
However, the Tang Huang Li Shimin did not burn his bridges; he helped the Jinghe Long Wang up while asking:
"I wonder, Jinghe Long Wang, why you say I can save your life? If it is within my ability, I will certainly agree to help you, Jinghe Long Wang."
The Tang Huang Li Shimin thought that if saving the Jinghe Long Wang's life did not exceed his psychological threshold, he could simply agree.
After all, the favor of saving the Jinghe Long Wang's life was a heaven-sent opportunity for the Tang Huang Li Shimin.
Since the Era of Investiture of the Gods, mortal emperors of the human race had been restricted by the Heavenly Dao and could not cultivate. Although they were protected by dynasty luck and did not need to worry about demons and ghosts,
it still left mortal emperors—especially ambitious ones like the Tang Huang Li Shimin—with deep regrets. Even as an emperor, his life was no different from a mortal's.
Therefore, if he could save the Jinghe Long Wang's life, he could use this favor to seek treasures that would extend his lifespan.
After all, even mortal humans had heard that the Dragon race had countless treasures; surely the Jinghe Long Wang could produce something to extend his life.
"However, Jinghe Long Wang, if you have brought this death tribulation upon yourself by harassing the people of my Great Tang, as the Emperor of the Great Tang, I will certainly not agree, and will instead punish you!"
The Tang Huang Li Shimin had not forgotten that he was the Emperor of the mortal human race, so he added this condition when speaking.
"Tang Huang, you and I have been neighbors for over thirty years. Not to mention since the founding of the Great Tang, even during the chaotic end of the Sui Dynasty, have you ever heard of the Jinghe aquatic tribe causing harm to the people?"
"Even when the Jinghe flooded, it never happened."
Hearing the Tang Huang Li Shimin's words, the Jinghe Long Wang hurriedly explained. ===== CHAPTER 936 =====
