Chapter 2199: The God Emperor's Compensation

He Pingsheng said, "You want to kill me?"

"Can't I?" the Hundred Flowers God Emperor said, "To kill you, a single finger is enough!"

"But I am still willing to give you a chance!"

"Swear an oath!"

"Swear a Sovereign Oath; from now on you are my Hundred Flowers' friend. Not only will I not kill you, I will also give you generous compensation!"

"How do you want me to swear?" He Pingsheng asked.

The Hundred Flowers God Emperor said, "You swear right now that from this moment on, you will not oppose me, the Hundred Flowers God Emperor, and you shall not kill any disciple of my Hundred Flowers clan, or else you will not die a good death!"

"Only then can this Emperor be completely at ease!"

"Impossible!" He Pingsheng shook his head.

This is a joke.

Let me swear not to kill you, I can do that!

After all, there is no deep hatred; when capturing the Tao family and Shang Xi Hong, no one was killed, so giving some compensation would settle it.

But let me swear not to kill your family.

What if one day your descendants ride on my head and shit, and I accidentally slaughter them, and then the oath takes effect — wouldn't I be done for?

"You seek death..." The Hundred Flowers God Emperor waved a hand, and three peach blossom petals flew out, circling around He Pingsheng's body.

"You dare..."

Beside him, Qian Zhu, furious, directly manifested her Witch King true body; a towering Witch King ten thousand zhang tall stood in the void.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, she threw a punch straight at the God Emperor.

"Witch Clan?" The Hundred Flowers God Emperor was somewhat surprised.

But he merely waved his hand lightly, and a flower flew out, crashing heavily into Qian Zhu's chest.

Qian Zhu's massive body was instantly blasted away, then fell onto the distant earth.

"Cough cough cough..." She kept vomiting blood.

Gu Bai Ping also readied for battle.

Only Zheng Hong Lu did not draw a weapon, but she took a step and appeared at He Pingsheng's side, saying, "Hundred Flowers God Emperor, you seek death..."

"If my husband encounters any problem today, you will undoubtedly die!"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Oh?" The Hundred Flowers God Emperor asked, "Then who are you?"

Zheng Hong Lu said, "I am called Zheng Hong Lu. The Space God Emperor's God Consort is my aunt. If you dare lay a hand on my husband, no matter your methods, you will not escape death!"

Hearing Zheng Hong Lu say this, the Hundred Flowers God Emperor immediately frowned, "The Space God Emperor's God Consort, you are surnamed Zheng?"

"Could it be... her?"

"Exactly!" Zheng Hong Lu raised her head, "My aunt is the number one beauty of the God Realm!"

She dared not say she was He Pingsheng's slave, only calling He Pingsheng her husband, to confuse the Hundred Flowers God Emperor.

Seeing the Hundred Flowers God Emperor frightened, He Pingsheng smiled and said, "Originally, this Young Master presented the Seven Curses Scripture to the Begonia God Emperor. The Begonia God Emperor saw my deep destiny and exceptional talent, and accepted this Young Master as a core true-disciple!"

"Even now my life token remains in the Begonia God Palace. If you dare kill me, the Begonia God Emperor will arrive in an instant; let's see if you die or not?"

The Hundred Flowers God Emperor's expression became extremely conflicted.

Killing is not an option, not killing is not an option!

What to do?

After several breaths, he asked again, "You are truly the Begonia God Emperor's disciple?"

He Pingsheng cupped his hands, "If you don't believe me, you can go check!"

"Also..." He Pingsheng said, "Not hiding it from you, I also have a substitute puppet on me!"

"You kill me, I won't truly die!"

"If you cannot find me in an extremely short time, guess what the result will be?"

Hearing this, the Hundred Flowers God Emperor became even more conflicted.

"Fine then..." After conflicted for a while, he waved his hand and withdrew the endless flower rain filling the sky, saying, "Actually... this Emperor came today not to seek trouble with you!"

"I only wanted to tell you that originally capturing the Tao family and your daughter was not my true intention!"

"This Seat was merely following orders!"

"Farewell!" The God Emperor flung his wide sleeve and tried to leave.

"Want to leave?" He Pingsheng shouted, "Stop right there!"

The Hundred Flowers God Emperor turned around, "What?"

"You still want to kill me?"

"Hundred Flowers God Emperor!" He Pingsheng, holding that ninth-grade Asura Blood Blade, pointed it at the Hundred Flowers God Emperor, "You come as you please, leave as you please?"

"The matter of capturing my family, is that just settled like this?"

The Hundred Flowers God Emperor asked, "Then what do you want?"

He Pingsheng said, "One eighth-grade divine artifact... and the grievances between us are wiped clean!"

"Otherwise, one day I will surely slaughter your entire clan!"

The Hundred Flowers God Emperor's pupils shrank slightly, "You seek death..."

"Sure!" He Pingsheng said, "I am just seeking death. If you have the guts, come..."

He stared at the Hundred Flowers God Emperor, looking utterly arrogant.

Right now, not being arrogant won't do.

Must be tough.

If the Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor wanted to leave, he could just leave; if he did, he would surely regret it afterward, perhaps even thinking I was timid, and if he came back, that would truly be his death sentence.

Now, as long as I build up my momentum, I'll make sure he can't tell truth from falsehood!

The Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor glared fiercely at He Pingsheng, stared for several breaths, and said: "Fine… I don't even have an eighth-grade one… would a seventh-grade one do?"

He Pingsheng said: "A seventh-grade one is fine too, but I need five of them!"

"Pfft…" The Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor nearly spat blood: "No… I only have two!"

"Fine!" He Pingsheng said: "Two it is then—O Divine Emperor, you only have two seventh-grade divine weapons? You're really poor…"

"Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor, you must have just entered the Divine Emperor realm not long ago, right?"

"Or maybe your combat strength is just particularly weak—otherwise, how could you possibly only have two seventh-grade divine artifacts on you?"

"Here!" The Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor darkened his face, waved his hand, and threw out two streaks of divine light.

One was a divine sword, the other a soft whip.

He Pingsheng took them.

The Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor asked: "Now, can you give this seat a promise?"

He Pingsheng said: "No… you think these two measly seventh-grade items can buy off karma? You're dreaming!"

"How about this—what's that… Shakyamuni Divine Fruit—do you have any? Give me ten or so of those, and also give me a few pieces of your seventh-grade divine emperor origin!"

Upon hearing He Pingsheng say that, the Divine Emperor couldn't help but let out a breath of relief.

Although what He Pingsheng asked for seemed like a lot, to the Divine Emperor, these things weren't much at all!

"Alright…" He waved his hand and said: "Four Shakyamuni Divine Fruits, plus two clusters of seventh-grade Dao-law origin, and another six clusters of sixth-grade Dao-law origin…"

"Take them!"

The Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor looked quite generous.

He Pingsheng collected the items: the four divine fruits were respectively wood-attribute, sword-path attribute, fire-attribute, and lightning-attribute.

The Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor asked: "He Pingsheng… now, is that enough?"

He Pingsheng raised his hand and said: "Sovereign above, I, He Pingsheng, today swear an oath: today, the Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor has bestowed upon me many items; in consideration of these resources, I will no longer pursue the karmic debt from his earlier seizure of my family—let it be wiped clean!"

"If I violate this oath, may my Great Dao be annihilated!"

The Sovereign's oath still needs to be made.

Both soft and hard approaches must come, and the step must also be given.

Only then can the Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor rest easy, right?

As for the Sovereign's oath?

Hehe… I spoke plainly last time about the karma, and if new karma arises later, I'll still act when I need to.

Besides, the Seven Seals Scripture hasn't even been refined yet, and it's said the Sovereign's oath isn't of much use.

"Good!" The Hundred Flowers Divine Emperor exhaled in relief and said: "Karma is settled today; this seat takes its leave!"

He raised his hand, and countless, countless flower petals flew out, forming a spatial vortex; the Divine Emperor stepped forward and entered the vortex, departing.

Everyone exhaled in relief.

He Pingsheng chuckled hehe and said: "Alright, safe now… later, this guy won't come looking for us again!"

"Ya Ya, come over!"

"Eh…" Tao Yaoya walked over to He Pingsheng's side.

He Pingsheng took out the two items he had just obtained from the Divine Emperor's hands—the seventh-grade divine artifacts—and said: "Here you go…"

"This seventh-grade flying sword is yours!"

"As for this seventh-grade soft whip…" He Pingsheng took a deep breath: "Send it to the merchant, give it to my daughter, as compensation for her!"

"No need to have her come find me—I'm going into seclusion right now!"

Please give me three bursts!
