Chapter 2418 - 2423: You Cannot Stay! [Fourth Update]

Chapter 2418: Chapter 2423: You Cannot Stay! [Fourth Update]

"Tut tut! He really is handsome!"

King Lan’s first impression of Xia Liu was very good.

His strength is also acceptable.

If his daughter likes him too, then that matter is settled.

Even if Xia Liu is a wolf.

Once he enters Azure Blue Palace, he will be tamed and become docile in the future.

"Thank you, King Lan, for the praise. I apologize for the previous matters."

"It’s nothing! If I had your conditions, I’d act this boldly too."

After saying this, King Lan looked at his daughter.

He noticed that something seemed off about her.

But he couldn’t quite pinpoint what was wrong.

"Xue’er, what do you think of Liu Xia?"

King Lan asked seriously.

"He..."

Lan Lianxue was silent for a long time.

The Demon Cultivators below all hoped she wouldn’t agree.

Otherwise, they would have no chance at all.

"Unparalleled in the world!"

After a long while, Lan Lianxue looked directly at Xia Liu and spoke her words of tribute.

"Eh?"

King Lan was momentarily puzzled and said, "So, you agree?"

"Yes!"

"Good! Fugui."

Upon receiving the reminder, Fugui immediately announced, "I hereby declare the winner of this Martial Combat Betrothal Contest to be Liu Xia!"

This somewhat absurd farce finally came to a close with Xia Liu’s victory.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, King Lan invited Xia Liu to chat with Lan Lianxue in the backyard.

The long-awaited meeting made Lan Lianxue very excited.

But no doubt, Yi Fei was even more excited.

Two years ago, Xia Liu was declared dead.

Who could have imagined he would suddenly reappear in the Demon God Kingdom two years later!

Just like he said, he wouldn’t forget his promise!

He would definitely come to participate in the duel!

"You two, upon seeing me, do you have many questions? Do you want to ask me anything?"

"Yes!"

Yi Fei and Lan Lianxue spoke in unison.

"Haha, let’s not talk about those painful experiences, the fact that I can still stand here says it all."

"Leader, after two years, you’ve finally returned, but your cultivation seems..."

Lan Lianxue asked weakly.

"Lianxue, have you ever seen my cultivation at its normal level?"

Oh...

This answer suddenly enlightened Lan Lianxue.

Xia Liu has never revealed his strongest cultivation.

Just like now, he appears to be merely at the first tier of Demon Lord.

Yet, he can effortlessly handle her father’s powerful moves.

This level of strength isn’t something just any Demon Lord cultivator can achieve.

"Leader! Are you stronger than before?"

"Naturally! People always move forward, not backward."

Xia Liu said firmly.

"Haha!"

Lan Lianxue and Yi Fei both chuckled cheerfully.

Thus, Xia Liu truly turned adversity into fortune.

"Xia Liu, your scheduled battle with Heaven-Slaying is about to begin, how confident are you?"

"Completely confident."

"The leader’s strength is terrifying, even King Beast is fearless, how can the so-called War God compare to him."

Lan Lianxue said as such.

Just after the three chatted for a while.

King Lan quietly approached.

"Liu Xia, Xue’er, Xiao Fei, are you three getting along well?"

"Hmm."

Lan Lianxue responded with feigned shyness.

Xia Liu smiled without saying anything.

"Very well, in that case, I will go find Fugui to pick a good day to arrange your marriage."

"Father! This is too fast, I’m not ready yet!"

Lan Lianxue was a bit scared.

She felt that even if she cultivated for a thousand years, she wouldn’t be worthy of Xia Liu.

If Xia Liu really becomes her husband.

She would feel guilty for a lifetime.

"It’s not fast at all, right, Liu Xia?"

King Lan looked at Xia Liu and said.

"King Lan, I also think this matter shouldn’t be rushed, why not let me and Lianxue build a relationship first, only then I can make a firm decision."

Xia Liu just wanted to help Lan Lianxue avoid this calamity.

He wouldn’t delay her future.

When the time comes, even if he has to damage his reputation, he won’t let her suffer a loss.

"You all!"

King Lan looked helpless.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he turned and left.

But right then.

A tremendous pain spread from the bottom of his heart.

Until it reached every part of his body.

A sweet taste surged from his abdomen, and King Lan’s body immediately disappeared on the spot.

"Liu Xia, come to Azure Blue Palace tomorrow morning to meet me."

King Lan transmitted his thoughts to Xia Liu.

The anxiety in his words was clearly sensed by Xia Liu.

He also had matters he wanted to discuss with King Lan.

Tomorrow would be perfect!

The next day.

In Azure Blue Palace.

The empty great hall inherently gave those arriving a sense of inexplicable awe.

King Lan stood atop the throne.

"King Lan, what do you wish to discuss with me?"

Xia Liu asked unhurriedly.

"Liu Xia, do you know why I arranged the Martial Combat Betrothal Contest?"

"To find Lianxue a husband that you approve of?"

"Indeed!"

King Lan nodded.

He sized up Xia Liu.

"You are very qualified. As long as you and Lianxue marry, after consuming Azure Blue Cohesive Demon Fluid, all resources within Azure Blue Palace will be thrown at you, so you may become a High-Strength Demon Lord cultivator!"

"Cohesive Demon Fluid? What’s that?"

Xia Liu had never heard of this thing.

Even just listening, he felt a sense of calculation.

"Well, in the Western Region, once a couple marries, they must jointly drink Cohesive Demon Fluid, equivalent to making an oath not to betray the other in the future."

"King Lan, why are you telling me this?"

"Because I trust you, so I’m telling you this, and Xue’er likes you, so I want to fulfill you both."

"Thank you, King Lan, for your trust, I just have one doubt."

Xia Liu suddenly said.

"Oh? What doubt do you have?"

"King Lan’s body seems to have some internal injury, and it seems to be extremely hard to heal."

"Hmm?"

Realizing his demon body was exposed by Xia Liu, King Lan’s demeanor became serious.

A wave of killing intent silently spread throughout the space.

"King Lan, please don’t misunderstand, my Demon Consciousness is sensitive after all, it wasn’t intentional to glimpse at your demon body’s injury."

Before the battle with Heaven-Slaying, Xia Liu did not want to clash with King Lan.

Demon Lord of the ninth rank strong, although unable to kill him.

But if he gave it his all.

There wouldn’t be any good outcome for him either.

"Who exactly are you!"

Struggling to maintain his composure, King Lan stared at Xia Liu and asked.

"Xia Liu."

"As expected, you are not ordinary!"

Hearing Xia Liu’s real name, King Lan became grave.

If he truly showed even a tiny flaw, King Lan would certainly not hold back!

"Heh heh, because I arrived in an unfamiliar domain, using my real name is intended to completely hide my identity."

"I don’t deny this."

King Lan nodded.

The next second, a fierce and malignant expression emerged.

"No matter who you are, or what identity you possess, since you’ve exposed the injury of my demon body, you may rest in peace!"

"Hmm? You intend to silence me?"

Xia Liu suddenly sneered.

Originally, he thought Lan Lianxue’s father was someone he could get along with.

Now, it seems, he’s no different!

"In this world, no one can be allowed to know my secret!!!"
