Chu Kuangren's eyelashes fluttered as he slowly woke up. He got up and yawned, feeling refreshed and refreshed.
Beside him, Princess Linglong was already dressed with the help of a servant girl. He watched from the side with a smile in his eyes.
Princess Linglong initially wanted to pretend that she did not see it, but she could not help but admit defeat under his gaze.
Her fiancé was just too good-looking.
Especially when he looked at her with a smile in his eyes. It was so unbearable that her body felt like jelly.
"Fiancé, what are you looking at? Why aren't you dressed?"
"Princess, you look a little weird today."
"Weird?"
Princess Linglong looked into the mirror. "What do you mean?"
"You look good."
Princess Linglong was speechless.
The servant girl beside her could not help but laugh. She did not expect the Black Heaven Sect Leader, who was on par with the Royal Azure Dynasty to have such a side to him.
"You may leave now," Princess Linglong said to the servant girl.
"Alright."
After the maidservant left, Princess Linglong looked at Chu Kuangren and said helplessly, "It's fortunate that she's my personal maidservant. Otherwise, if word of your glib tongue were to spread, your reputation as the Honorable Sect Leader would be ruined."
"If it's ruined, then so be it. I don't care."
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
Then, with Princess Linglong's help, Chu Kuangren put on his clothes. Both of them then walked out of the bedroom and headed towards the ceremony.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
At the ceremony, the officials stood neatly in a row.
Princess Linglong was dressed in a royal robe. She looked dignified as she walked towards a high platform. Behind her, two servant girls were holding up the hem of her dress.
Chu Kuangren watched from the side. He could not understand why the gown had to be designed in such a way. It was so complicated.
It took him a lot of effort to undo it yesterday. If not for the fact that he had to use it for the ceremony today, he would have torn it apart.
"Incense to the Heavens!"
"I, Gu Linglong, the seventeenth ruler of the Royal Azure Dynasty, hereby pray to the Heavens. May the Heavens bless the Royal Azure Dynasty with good weather …"
After a round of prayers, the Royal Azure Dynasty King handed the imperial seal to Linglong. With that, the ceremony was over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The officials kowtowed. Linglong had become the Royal Azure Dynasty King!
...
"The Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl disappeared?!"
After the coronation ceremony ended, Ling Long and the Royal Azure Dynasty Ruler received a piece of news that caused their expressions to change.
Beside him, Chu Kuangren was rather surprised.
"Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl? What is that? "
"Fiancé, you may not know this, but the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl is one of the treasures of the Royal Azure Dynasty. It was crafted from the holy spirit of an ancient beast, the Nine-Headed Snakelet, and has been sealed deep within the palace."
At this point, Ling Long frowned. "If the Nine-Headed Infant Pearl is gone, then why don't we see the guardian of the Nine-Headed Infant Pearl? Where is he now?"
"In reply to the empress, Elder Liu … is dead."
The guard who came to report said.
Elder Liu was the guardian of the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl. He was an existence that was close to becoming an Honorable Supreme. There were not many people in the Royal Azure Sky Palace who could kill him.
"Hurry up and investigate who did this."
Ling Long said with an ugly expression.
It was only the first day of his ascension to the throne, and such a thing had already happened.
This was a slap to her face.
If this matter was not handled well, it would definitely have a significant impact on her prestige as the new empress.
"There's no need to investigate. It was done by Gu Changge."
At that moment, an old man walked into the palace.
Upon seeing this person, the Royal Azure Dynasty King went up to him. "Sage, you're here. You said that this was done by Changge. What happened?"
This old man was one of the Sages of the Royal Azure Dynasty.
"Not long ago, Gu Changge went to the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pavilion, killed the guardian, and took the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl. When I realized this, I wanted to capture him, but I didn't expect him to have a secret treasure on him. I chased after him to no avail, and he escaped."
At this point, the Sage's expression turned ugly.
"Unfilial son, this unfilial son!"
The Royal Azure Dynasty King was furious. He wanted to leave the palace to look for Gu Changge, but he was stopped by the Sage.
"Calm down."
"Sage, don't stop me. I must capture this unfilial son and bring him back." The Royal Azure Dynasty King said angrily.
"Father, please calm down first. There are still some strange things that we haven't figured out yet."
Princess Linglong also tried to persuade him.
"What else is there to figure out? This unfilial son must be unhappy that I didn't pass the throne to him, that's why he stole the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl."
"Firstly, even if Gu Changge was unhappy, why would he use such a method to take revenge? Secondly, there are so many treasures in the palace, why would he target the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl? Is there something special about this Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl? "At that moment, Chu Kuangren spoke.
At his words, the Royal Azure Dynasty King and the Sage looked at each other.
Beside them, Princess Linglong had a serious look on her face as she said, "I'm afraid this has something to do with the Nine Head Clan."
"The Nine Head Clan, the Royal Azure Dynasty's nemesis?"
"That's right. The Nine Head Clan has always worshipped this ferocious beast, the Nine-Headed Snakelet. All these years, they've attempted to enter the palace to steal the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl, but they've all failed," Princess Linglong said.
"Does this mean that after Gu Changge stole the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl, he'll most likely head to the Nine Head Clan?" Chu Kuangren asked.
"That's possible." Princess Linglong nodded. "I'll send troops to the Nine Head Clan and bring Gu Changge back."
"That's not a good idea. You've just ascended to the throne, so your foundation isn't stable yet. If you recklessly start a war with the Nine Head Clan, your chances of winning are slim," the Royal Azure Dynasty King said.
"I'll go."
At that moment, Chu Kuangren said.
Everyone looked at him.
"Since I don't have much to do these days, I'll pay a visit to the Nine Head Clan. If Gu Changge is really there, I believe they'll give me face. Hmm, probably." Chu Kuangren smiled.
The Royal Azure Dynasty King and the others looked at each other.
"If Brother Chu is willing to go, then it won't be a problem. I'll have to trouble you then." The Royal Azure Dynasty Sage bowed and said.
"No problem."
Chu Kuangren smiled.
He did not stay in the palace for long and departed the next day.
…
Inside the Nine Head Clan.
A young man dressed in black held a rainbow-colored bead in his hand. The bead was glowing with light, and inside it was a nine-headed serpent that was letting out bursts of roars.
It was the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl that was stolen from the Royal Azure Dynasty Palace.
"Brother Li, now that I've obtained the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl, I wonder if you've promised to let me join the Craggy Ocean Tower …"
Behind the black-robed man stood a person. It was Gu Changge.
The black-robed man smiled. "Rest assured, Brother Gu. Since you've helped me with this, I'll let you join the Craggy Ocean Tower. Not only that, but I'll also request the Sect Leader to let you become a Daoist. That's much better than being a King."
Hearing the words of the man in black, Gu Changge's eyes lit up and he looked a little excited. "Thank you, Fellow Li!"
The Craggy Ocean Tower was one of the unknown lands, and its resources were much stronger than the Royal Azure Dynasty's.
To Gu Changge, as long as he could join the Craggy Ocean Tower and become a Daoist, his future would be bright!
"Once I become a core member of the Craggy Ocean Tower, the Royal Azure Dynasty will be my oyster. Hmph, what Royal Azure Dynasty King? I don't care." Gu Changge snorted.
