Chapter 951 Departure from the Tortoise City

Qin Haodong was slightly stunned. Then, he shook his head and said, “Your Majesty, I’m not interested in being an official, let alone a King. I think Xingyue’s ability is good. You’d better train her. I can provide enough support!”

Zhao Xianlong said, “Why? Isn’t it good to be the King? You will be on top of everything. You will have the power to control the entire Kingdom.

“Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yuenian worked hard for so many years in order to let their son succeed to the throne.”

Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, “Your Majesty, different people have different aspirations, which can’t be forced. I really don’t want to be the King.”

“Well, if you really don’t want to be the King, then forget it,” Zhao Xianlong sighed and said, “I can see that you are absolutely outstanding. If you don’t even want to be the King, what is your dream?”

Qin Haodong said, “There is only one thing I need to do. After quickly improving my cultivation, I will do a very important thing.”

“Oh!” Zhao Xingyue said, “Can you tell us what it is? My father and I can help you!”

Qin Haodong said, “I can only do this on my own. No one else can help.”

He would never tell anyone about the space gap to return to earth. After all, the human heart was sinister. Once some people with ulterior motives knew about it, it would bring a catastrophe to earth.

Zhao Xianlong said, “Do you need a long time to do this? How about you come back and succeed to the throne after you finish your work?”

Qin Haodong said, “It’s hard to say when I’ll finish the task. Even if I finish it, I’m not interested in being the King at all.”

“Very well. Since you’re unwilling, I will not force you,” Zhao Xianlong said regretfully.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Qin Haodong said, “Your Majesty, we will go back to Tortoise Academy tomorrow morning.”

Zhao Xianlong said, “Why are you in such a hurry? You can relax in Tortoise City for a while before leaving.”

Qin Haodong said, “No, we’ve been out for a long time. It’s almost the day of the competition between the North and South Academies. We have to go back as soon as possible.”

Seeing that Qin Haodong wanted to leave, Zhao Xingyue said, “Father, I also want to go back.”

“That is absolutely not possible. Right now, all I have is you, my only daughter. You must stay and learn from me how to deal with the affairs of the kingdom. Tortoise Kingdom will be handed over to you in the future.”

“But…”

Zhao Xingyue looked at Qin Haodong with great reluctance.

Zhao Xianlong firmly said, “There is no ‘but’. Even if you sneak out this time, I will go to Tortoise Academy to bring you back.”

Qin Haodong said, “Xingyue, you really cannot go back to Tortoise Academy now. You’d better stay in the palace with peace of mind. We will come and see you when we have time.”

Zhao Xingyue had no choice but to say, “Well, remember what you said!”

After dinner, it was almost late at night. Zhao Xingyue did not let Qin Haodong return to the courier station. She let him sleep in her palace.

After he washed up and was about to go to bed, the door opened. Zhao Xingyue who was wearing a black lace nightgown came in.

“Uh… Xingyue, why are you here?”

The black lace nightgown sharply contrasted with Zhao Xingyue’s fair skin. She had sexy and attractive collarbones, fair and slender thighs, and exquisite curves. It was a strong temptation to any man.

Although it was not the first time for him to see this, Qin Haodong’s mouth dried up a little and he felt hot all over.

Zhao Xingyue’s cheeks were very red. She didn’t answer Qin Haodong. She pressed Qin Haodong down on the bed and then lay down next to him. Then she hugged him tightly and her hot cheek pressed against his shoulder.

After Qin Haodong felt her warmth and softness, his whole body stiffened. He said, “Xingyue, what are you doing?”

“Big Brother Qin, you’re leaving tomorrow. Just sleep with me tonight.”

As she spoke, Zhao Xingyue closed her eyes tightly. Her cheeks were flushed and her voice was as tinny as that of a mosquito. If it weren’t for Qin Haodong’s amazing hearing, he wouldn’t have heard what she said.

He patted Zhao Xingyue on the shoulder and said, “We haven’t known each other for a long time. It’s not appropriate for us to do this!”

Zhao Xingyue suddenly raised her head and said, “Big Brother Qin, you have already won the competition and should marry me. Are you going back on your word?”

Qin Haodong said, “Xingyue, in fact, the competition is just a formality. At that time, the purpose was to deal with Wu Yuenian. We still have a long way to go in the future. Just take it slow.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Big Brother Qin, I really like you. I do not want you to go. Why don’t you stay? My father is willing to let you be the King. I want to be your Queen.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “You think it’s that easy. I really don’t want to be the King. Even if I want to be the King, your father won’t agree. It’s impossible for him to hand over Tortoise Kingdom to an outsider like me.”

Zhao Xingyue said, surprised, “But during dinner today, my father said in person that he wanted you to be the King.”

“There are still a lot of things for you to learn if you want to inherit your father’s position. Take your time to learn.”

Zhao Xingyue asked in confusion, “I don’t understand what you mean!”

“Why don’t you understand? It’s not so easy to guess the thoughts of the King!” Qin Haodong said, “If I had directly agreed at the banquet today or acted ecstatic, I’m afraid your father would have attacked me at that moment.”

Zhao Xingyue asked again, “Why? You have helped our Tortoise royal family a lot this time. Without you, we would not have been able to kill Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yuenian, let alone discover Zhao Yu’s secret.

“My father is very grateful to you. How could he possibly attack you?”

“As the King, the first thing he needs to do is to be cold-hearted. Even if he were grateful to me, it would not affect the interests of the kingdom.”

Qin Haodong said, “There are many reasons for this. In your father’s eyes, I am a person of dubious background. He doesn’t know what my purpose in coming to Tortoise Kingdom was.

“Everything else is easy to handle. If he wants to control the entire Tortoise Kingdom, he will never allow a person of dubious background to be with him.

“You are his daughter. He could let you succeed the throne. However, I am someone unrelated to the throne. I absolutely cannot take it.”

Confusion flashed across Zhao Xingyue’s face. Then, she said, “Is that true? But you are his son-in-law. My father personally agreed.”

Qin Haodong said, “Marriage is marriage. Bloodline is bloodline. Marriage can never replace bloodline. For example, Wu Yuenian is your father’s wife but she has always harbored evil in her heart.

“There are some things that cannot be replaced. If your father still has a son, the throne will never be yours. Without a son, he can only let his daughter succeed to the throne.”

There were some words that had not been completely spoken. At present, with regard to Zhao Xianlong, Qin Haodong was full of doubts and uncertainty.

The anti-material rifle killed Zhangsun Chengdu. It not only helped Zhao Xianlong a lot but also filled Zhao Xianlong’s heart with fear. Qin Haodong was a person who could kill a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so his strength was absolutely unbelievable.

Moreover, Zhao Xingyue was not capable enough and her character was relatively simple. Therefore, Zhao Xianlong made a series of tentative moves tonight in order to test whether Qin Haodong had any ambition to ascend the throne.

Even though he had rejected Zhao Xianlong time and again, Zhao Xianlong was still worried. Otherwise, Zhao Xianlong would have asked him and Zhao Xingyue to get married instead of letting him go.

Zhao Xingyue was stunned. After a while, she said, “I don’t think my father is that kind of person.”

Qin Haodong said, “I can only say that you have always underestimated your father.

“Just think about it. After the maggot was put into his body, he could still grasp his advantage and negotiate with the other party. This is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

“Moreover, Zhangsun Chengdu was very influential. In addition, he was in league with the Queen. The two of them had great power. However, they could only control a small part of Tortoise Kingdom. Most of the courtiers were still loyal to your father.

“What does this mean? It means he has great abilities.”

“This… the thoughts of you men are too complicated,” Zhao Xingyue said, “I don’t think I am suitable to be the King. Why don’t I go back to Tortoise Academy with you?”

Qin Haodong said, “That’s impossible. You are now the only heir of the kingdom. How could your father let you go?

“If you really want to do that, hurry up and choose another wife for your father. As long as he has a son, you will be free again. ”

In fact, Zhao Xianlong’s selection of the successor was just a formality, just in case of need. His cultivation had reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so his life span would have been extended by many years.

It could be said that he was in the prime of his life now. If nothing unexpected happened, the throne would not be passed down within a hundred years.

“Okay.” Zhao Xingyue pulled Qin Haodong’s arm again. She said with a hopeful face, “What about us? When will you come back to see me?”

Qin Haodong said, “I also don’t know. It’s all God’s will.”

He really did not know what would happen in the future. Would he be able to reopen the passage to earth? Or, would he have to stay at Lingwu Continent forever?

Zhao Xingyue slept with Qin Haodong all night. However, they just hugged and talked and did not do anything out of line.

The next day, Qin Haodong met Tu Jiaojiao and the others. Then, they said goodbye to Zhao Xianlong.

Zhao Xianlong was very happy to see this unfathomably young man off. However, Zhao Xingyue was reluctant to part with him.

She took Qin Haodong’s hand and said, “Big Brother Qin, you must remember to come back and see me.”

“Rest assured. I’ll be back.”

Qin Haodong gently kissed her on the forehead and then left Tortoise City with the others.

After leaving the city, everyone regained their flying abilities. They flew toward the direction of Tortoise Academy.

Doomsday Forest covered a huge area, spanning between Tortoise City and Tortoise Academy. They wanted to return to Tortoise Academy, so they had to pass through this place.

Near evening, they came to the border of Doomsday Forest.

For safety’s sake, they didn’t fly overnight. They chose to camp at the edge of the forest.

Unlike last time, their team was now smaller in size. In addition to Qin Haodong, there were only five girls, Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, Yun Qianqian, the Little Witch, and Fang Qiong’er.

These people were trustworthy. They all knew the secret of the Seven Storeys Pagoda, so Qin Haodong did not hide anything. He directly took them back to the seventh floor of the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

The Spiritual Qi here was abundant. It was suitable for them to cultivate. Also, it was safer than outside.

After coming in, the Little Witch said with a grin, “Little Brother, you didn’t bring us five beauties here to do something bad, did you?”

“What’s in your head?” Qin Haodong rapped the Little Witch’s head and said, “I did bring all of you here for something.”

Under the gaze of many beautiful big eyes, he took out a small jade bottle and said, “I have five Dragon Power Pills here, one for each of you. See if it can help you break through your current realm.”

Last time, he had refined nine Dragon Power Pills. He had swallowed one himself and given one to Zhao Xianlong. He still had seven pills left.

As a seventh-level pill, the Dragon Power Pill was extremely precious. However, these people in front of him were his closest friends, so he wasn’t stingy.
