C1678 Rest in Peace
The black-veiled woman smiled charmingly, then flipped her hand and said gently: "As long as you give this to your father, the position of the Tidal King will be yours..."
Xining gently held the purple bottle with both of his trembling hands and said with some doubt, "My father is a half-step battle spirit emperor warrior. Ordinary poisons shouldn't be of any use to him, right?"
"Of course, this isn't some ordinary poison. I promise you that as long as you do as I say, there won't be any problems." The black-veiled woman smiled.
"But what kind of poison is this? What if it is ineffective against my father? Then I'm dead. Xining was still a little worried.
The black-veiled woman rolled a few times and then said softly, "If you're really worried, then I'll accompany you on a trip. I'll advance and retreat with His Highness..."
Only after hearing this did Xining completely relax. Since the other party dared to go with him, he definitely had full confidence.
"Alright then... if I become the Tidal King, will you really agree to anything?" Xining tightly clenched the purple pill bottle in his hand as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Of course. ... But what do you want me to do?" The black-veiled woman slowly sat in Xining's embrace and whispered in her ear.
"I..."
Xining felt as if all the blood in his body was about to boil, and his face was flushed red.
However, before Xining could finish speaking, the black-veiled woman used her fingers to block the other party's mouth and said gently: "Don't be shy... I know what you're thinking..."
"Gulp..."
In an instant, Xining felt his mind go blank. The fatal fragrance coming from the tip of his nose and the warm and soft jade in his arms made him completely lose his mind.
However, the black-veiled woman withdrew in time. Immediately, she tidied up her clothes and softly said: "Don't be anxious. Everything will still have to wait until you become the Tidal King."
"Then... Then let's go meet Father now..." Xining suddenly stood up and spoke loudly.
The black-veiled woman smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "Father..." "Since His Highness is in such a hurry, let us set off now..."
Now was the best time for him to act. The black-veiled woman was also a little afraid that Feng Yixiu would come to deal with her after he had settled down.
If she wanted to do something at that time, she would do it again. She was afraid that it would be much more difficult than now.
In the Tidal King's chambers.
The entrance was heavily guarded, so it was almost impossible for outsiders to sneak in.
However, as the only son of the Tidal King, no one dared to stop him from visiting the Tidal King.
The black-veiled woman disguised herself as Xining's personal maid and followed Xining unimpeded into the Tidal King's chambers.
But in the Tidal King's inner hall, the mystic water medicinal Grand Priest even planted two trusted aides to protect the Tidal King's safety.
When these two people saw Xining arrive, they still opened their mouths to ask, and said, "Your Highness, you are usually busy with official matters. Why do you suddenly have the time to visit the King today?"
Xining looked coldly at that person. Frowning, he said, "Could it be that I still need to ask your permission when I visit again?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. One of the Tidal Guard commanders shook his head like a rattle drum as he spoke with a trembling voice.
"If you don't dare, hurry up and scram!" Xining said furiously.
The other Tidal Guard Captain did not move aside. He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, the Grand Priest said that no matter who approaches the Wave King, they must be notified in advance. Please wait for a moment. I'll go and inform the Grand Priest right away..."
"How dare you! Your Highness actually needs to report the Grand Priest when you come to see the King? This is really absurd! Could it be that this Profound Water Grand Priest has some ulterior motive?"
Without waiting for Xining to react, The black-veiled woman who was dressed in disguise behind him opened her mouth and berated angrily.
As soon as these words were spoken. The two Wave Guard Chiefs lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. They merely looked at each other in dismay.2
The current situation in the Wave King City was extremely sensitive. If they did not allow Xining to meet the Wave King now, it would indeed cause unnecessary criticism...
"If you don't want your heads to fall to the ground, I advise you all to quickly get out of my way. Otherwise, you all know the consequences. " Xining immediately agreed.
"As you command..."
The two Tidal Guard commanders finally made way for Xining and could only watch helplessly as he walked into the inner hall.
The black-veiled woman slowly closed the door, completely blocking the two Wave Guard Chiefs' line of sight. Moreover, they were completely unable to hear what was happening inside...
"I'm afraid that there's something fishy about the sudden visit from the Prince's Hall. You stay here and guard first. I'll inform the Profound Water Grand Priest right now!" One of the Wave Guard Elders said with a solemn expression.
"Alright then. I'll guard here. Quickly go and return!" The other Wave Guard Captain nodded and said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the slightly thinner Wave Guard Captain went to notify the Darkwater Grand Priest at the fastest speed, whereas the other stood guard at the entrance of the inner hall.
As soon as the black-veiled woman entered the inner hall, she saw a tall Wave King lying on the crystal bed, his aura extremely weak.
The Tidal King was extremely tall. He was about two meters tall and had countless scars all over his body. His entire body looked as weak as a candle in the wind.
When Xining was only a few meters away from the Tidal King, he suddenly stopped. His body was still trembling slightly...
"Ning, why are you here..."
The Tidal King heard a sound and slowly opened his eyes. Then, he saw Xining not far away and spoke weakly.
Only then did Xining come back to his senses. He took three steps in a row and walked to the Tidal King's side. His expression was a little unnatural as he said, "Father, I've come to see you. How do you feel?"
The Tidal King shook his head with a bitter smile. He said calmly, "Father's body is no longer in good condition..."
"Father, don't say such sad words. Your body will definitely recover." Xining's smile was a little stiff as he said lightly.
"Only yourself knows about your father's own body. However, I heard that the successor of the Black Turtle has already arrived at our Tidal King City. If I can successfully complete my mission, I can die in peace..." The Tidal King shook his head gently and said in a deep voice.
"Father, actually, I think that the eldest son of the Han Family is more suitable to inherit the Black Turtle inheritance. He is the successor appointed by the Han Family." Xining said with a serious expression.
"I've already heard about this. A genius who can resonate with the Profound Water Pearl's bloodline is the one we are waiting for. There's nothing to say about this." The Tide King said with a serious expression. He then stared at Xining for a long time. He said indifferently, "Your younger sister is really lucky to be able to befriend so many outstanding young geniuses. In this way, I am even more at ease..."
