A Good Romance

Ling Han clasped his hands in obeisance, and said, "This junior pays his respects to the Rain Emperor."

He addressed himself as a junior, so what he did was naturally the etiquette of a cultivator, and there was no need for him to kneel. And if he paid his respects as a subject, then he would have to kneel. These were two completely different standpoints.

The Rain Emperor did not blame him. Instead, he revealed a sliver of a smile, and said, "Young man, you are very arrogant."

At his feet, Xu Ke Xin was startled awake. She opened her eyes and looked towards Ling Han, a hint of surprise involuntarily appearing on her pretty face. She had clearly seen this young man before. At that time, she had even thought of killing him, but she had not made a move.

She had never thought that this person would actually be qualified to pay his respects to the Rain Emperor. This was very shocking.

"Your Imperial Majesty is the one who is awe-inspiring. With a single punch, you defeated that bullsh * t Attendant of the Winter Moon Sect, making this junior's blood boil." Ling Han flattered the Rain Emperor a little.

"Hahahaha!" The Rain Emperor laughed loudly, shook his head, and said, "Do you think that if you speak a little sweeter, I will be able to forget the trouble you have caused?"

Xu Ke Xin could not help but be shocked. She had been by the Rain Emperor's side for a good few years, and she had practically never seen the Rain Emperor laugh like this before. He was even using a teasing tone to speak to a young man. She could not believe it.

Ling Han said seriously, "Please forgive me, Your Imperial Majesty!"

The Rain Emperor humphed, and said, "No matter how angry I am, I would not dare to do anything to a Black Grade high level alchemist!"

Xu Ke Xin's beautiful eyes involuntarily widened. A Black Grade high level alchemist was right in front of her, and this young man … how could it be possible? But how could the Rain Emperor speak carelessly? Even if she did not want to believe it, she had no choice but to believe it.

Ling Han snickered, and said, "I have not thanked Your Imperial Majesty for helping me out of my predicament just now. I will definitely repay you in the future!" Since the Rain Emperor had pointed out his identity as a Black Grade high level alchemist, he would use his identity as an alchemist to speak to the Rain Emperor. In terms of status, he would only be slightly inferior.

The Rain Emperor used his finger to lightly tap on the armrest, and said, "Eldest, Third, and Seventh, you have already met them. Which one do you think is more suitable to inherit the imperial throne?"

Should he be the one asking this question? Ling Han thought for a moment, then said, "Your Imperial Majesty should have already made a decision in your heart. I would not dare to speak carelessly."

"You are a Black Grade high level alchemist, and Fu Yuan Sheng and Wu Song Lin are very obedient to you. If you disagree with me and encourage alchemists not to sell their medicine to the citizens of Rain Country in the future, wouldn't the country's history be destroyed in a day?" the Rain Emperor said calmly.

Ling Han could not help but break out in a cold sweat. This was a bit too big of an accusation. The Son of Heaven was temperamental, and what if he thought that he was a calamity that could threaten the imperial power? Then no matter who he was, he would directly eliminate him.

His spirit was highly focused. Once there was any strange movement, he would immediately enter into the Black Tower. At most, the Rain Emperor would discover that he had a secret technique that allowed him to teleport instantly, or that he could conceal himself or something like that. Even if he had to reveal a bit of his secret, it was still better than losing his life.

"Rest your little heart securely in your chest. If I wanted to kill you, you would not have been able to walk all the way here alive," the Rain Emperor said calmly.

Ling Han laughed mischievously. On the surface, he breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart, he did not relax at all. He would not easily trust another person.

"Ling Han, how should I treat you?" the Rain Emperor asked. "An alchemist that can concoct Foundation Building Pills … Rain Country might even be thrown into chaos because of you."

Pu!

Xu Ke Xin finally could not help but cough. The Foundation Building Pills that had caused such a commotion in the Imperial City was actually concocted by Ling Han. Inconceivable, inconceivable. How old was he? How could he possibly concoct Foundation Building Pills?

Ling Han thought for a moment, then said, "In future, if I concoct Foundation Building Pills again, I will prioritize giving half of them to the Imperial Family."

"All right!" The Rain Emperor finally smiled, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Indeed, being in the king's company was like being with a tiger. The king was temperamental and could kill at the slightest provocation. It was hard not to be nervous.

Ling Han could not help but curse silently. If he still had the cultivation level of his last life, he would definitely give the Rain Emperor a good thrashing. He actually dared to scare him. But at this moment, he could only smile bitterly, and say, "I was almost scared to death by Your Imperial Majesty!"

The Rain Emperor had laid the groundwork, and then said a threat. Actually, it was all for the sake of the Foundation Building Pills.

"Haha, you will definitely become an Earth Grade alchemist in future. Even if I were to see you, I would have to welcome you with open arms. Now that your wings are not fully grown yet, I naturally have to beat you a little and bully you a little. There will not be another chance in future," the Rain Emperor said with a smile.

Ling Han also smiled. Actually, the Rain Emperor was also a humorous person. It did not matter whether he was willing or not to make you feel amused.

"Eldest Brother and Third Brother are still a little lacking in terms of temperament. They have ambition, but do not have the corresponding vigor …" the Rain Emperor spoke up, giving his own sons his evaluation. "Seventh Brother is also a little too cautious and cautious. He is more than capable of defending his achievements, but is not aggressive enough."

He paused for a moment, and then said, "You should be supporting Seventh Brother. With the help of a future Earth Grade alchemist, I can also retire with peace of mind. I have decided, after my sixtieth birthday, I will pass the throne to Seventh Brother, and from then on, I will focus on martial arts. "

Xu Ke Xin was greatly shocked, and her beautiful face turned pale. She could not help but call out, "Your Imperial Majesty …"

The Rain Emperor stretched out a hand and pressed down, stopping her from speaking. He said, "You should also leave …"

Ling Han did not mind the two of them talking in riddles, and said, "Congratulations, Your Imperial Majesty."

"Why are you congratulating me?" the Rain Emperor asked, all smiles.

"Put down the affairs of the nation, and Your Imperial Majesty will be able to focus all your efforts on breaking through to the Flower Blossom Tier, and henceforth transcend mortality and enter sainthood!" Ling Han said, smiling.

The Rain Emperor's eyes involuntarily lit up, and instantly, his aura surged like the waves of the sea, and he said, "You are actually able to guess my cultivation level?"

Ling Han smiled, and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "I am an alchemist, so my divine sense is much stronger than that of an ordinary person."

The Rain Emperor nodded. This young man was indeed unique. Otherwise, he would not have been able to concoct alchemical pills that were close to Earth Grade when he was only in the Element Gathering Tier. He then stretched out a finger to tap on the armrest, and said, "Half a month later, I will hold a birthday banquet, and at the same time, there will be a martial arts battle to celebrate my birthday."

Ling Han did not know what these words meant, so he only nodded, and did not reply.

"The prize for the person who wins first place in the martial arts battle is a treasure from the inner treasury," the Rain Emperor said slowly.

Ling Han's mind was instantly shaken.

The Eye of Truth!

The Rain Emperor was already half a step into the Flower Blossom Tier, and added with the help of the power of the nation, he was like a god in Rain Country. His sight and hearing were practically omnipresent. Presumably, the few deals that he had made with the Eldest and Third Imperial Princes had not been hidden from this Rain Emperor.

Ling Han's heart tightened. Then what about the matter of the Liu Sisters? Strictly speaking, he was shielding the murderer who had attempted to assassinate the Imperial Consort, and this was no different from rebelling.

En, he should not know.

The Rain Emperor was only human, after all. Even if he had broken through to the Flower Blossom Tier, he would only have transcended beyond mortals, and was still far from becoming a god. He could only focus his limited attention on a few important figures.

For example, he had three sons who were qualified to compete for the imperial throne. Every move they made definitely could not be hidden from him, and he was secretly comparing which one was more suitable to inherit the imperial throne.

Thus, the matter of Ling Han discussing with the Eldest and Third Imperial Princes how to steal the Eye of Truth naturally could not be hidden from this Rain Emperor.

Now that the Rain Emperor had taken out the Eye of Truth as a reward, the unspoken meaning was: 'I am very clear about your little tricks, and as long as you are willing to listen to me, there will naturally be benefits for you.'

As expected of the ruler of a nation, he was so adept at manipulating power.

Reading on one's phone was more refreshing.
