You should yield the title of Emperor’s Son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, the nearly unconscious Xia Tianming was instantly enraged, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He propped himself up against Xia Naiwu’s shoulder to barely stand firm, then pointed at Xia Tianming, furiously saying, \"Xia Tianming, you’ve gone too far!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From birth, my son was recognized as having the Innate Emperor Body by everyone in the Empire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your grandson Xia Feng, was clearly born a mortal; his Emperor Body doesn’t have the innate qualities of an Innate Emperor Body at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ten Great Xia Emperors nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xia Feng hadn’t demonstrated his abilities since arriving in the Imperial Capital, these old foxes, having lived for millennia, discerned his essence at first sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign, he could comprehend dozens of the Great Dao Rules’ essences, let alone martial artists of a lower realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristic of the Innate Emperor Body is possessing a Great Emperor Body from birth without needing to condense it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xia Feng’s Emperor Body lacked the ancient and domineering aura that comes with the passage of ages, clearly a recent formation through his own efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, what you say is correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming nodded, then continued to smirk coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like Xiao Feng, I also reached my current realm step by step with a mortal body. When Xia Tianming was in his twenties, wasn’t he just a Profound Tier Martial Saint?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In comparison, doesn’t Xia Naiwu, who possesses a Great Emperor Body, even less deserve to be the Emperor’s Son?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Xia Tianming to argue with such logic, leaving him momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he gritted his teeth and angrily retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t talk nonsense here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the first Xia Emperor, the Empire has had a rule that only those with the Innate Emperor Body among the Xia Family can be the Emperor’s Son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how outstanding your grandson’s talent is, he remains a mortal, unfit to be the Emperor’s Son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or are you intending to use forbidden techniques to strip my son’s Emperor Body to transfer it to Xia Feng just to make him the Emperor’s Son?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Xia Tianming’s questioning, Xia Tianming remained expressionless the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... A winner is a king, and a loser is a bandit. I admit I did many excessive things to you in the past, but haven’t you won now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you resent me, it’s between you and me and doesn’t need to involve my son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Xia Tianming’s angry shouts, Xia Tianming remained expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the gazes of other patriarchs, Xia Tianming slowly sat down on the edge of the Emperor Dragon Platform, beckoning to Xia Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Feng, come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Feng nodded and quickly walked to Xia Tianming’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Feng, what do you think of the current Emperor’s Son of the Great Xia Empire?\" Xia Tianming asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my opinion, worth about a response of dung.\" Xiao Feng shrugged, waving dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Feng’s look was rather aggravating, blatantly showing disdain when looking at Xia Naiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The back-and-forth between the grandfather and grandson instantly provoked Xia Naiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed, and he stood up suddenly, pressing a formidable aura toward Xiao Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say? You trash who isn’t even a Martial Sovereign, say it again!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his plan, Xiao Feng, as a Half-Emperor, would surely tremble under his aura, perhaps even collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, the aura Xia Naiwu unleashed, likened to a clay ox entering the sea, left Xiao Feng unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said you’re trash, what, aren’t you convinced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1180,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","724b2aa97c7229d510740e2960712f16785695acae357fadf81bdec74d8e6eda","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-135","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-133",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
