"It's my own choice?"
The lion-headed man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what Qin Yi meant.
Qin Yi wasn't wrong. This was indeed his own choice.
If he wasn't afraid, he could've killed the five beastman experts when they returned.
Even if the final outcome was different from what he had imagined, he could've made his stand clear.
That way, even if he didn't succeed in killing the other party, the Divine King would know of his loyalty as a servant. Naturally, he wouldn't be at risk of being killed.
However, he didn't do that. Not only did he release these subordinates who had clearly surrendered to Qin Yi, but he also accepted their suggestion to leave Qin Yi's clone in the Royal City and treat him politely.
Obviously, he had already made his choice when he did that.
And he had made this choice completely out of his own will.
At that time, the right to choose was entirely on his own. No one held a knife to his neck and forced him to make such a choice.
But in the end, he still did it. This already showed that he was more inclined to make this choice at that time.
Actually, as the king, he didn't do this completely because he was under pressure.
In fact, the pressure from the Divine King wasn't small either.
As the king of the Beastman Nation, he had more opportunities to interact with the Deity Race than ordinary people. Therefore, when it came to understanding the God King, no matter what, he still had some understanding.
He knew very well that the Divine King wasn't a good person.
Not only would he not get any benefits from helping the Divine King, but he might even lose his life if things went wrong.
Therefore, at that time, it was also because of this consideration that caused him to waver in his decision. In the end, he made such a choice.
Now that he was in danger, he wanted to push the blame onto Qin Yi and the others. This seemed a little strange.
"Then tell me, what should I do now?"
The lion-headed man looked at Qin Yi and asked in a daze.
He had just put on a high and mighty attitude, but now he didn't seem to be that awe-inspiring at all.
To be honest, in the face of such a life-threatening situation, a person like him would not be able to remain strong no matter what.
He also knew that Qin Yi wasn't here before. Since he appeared, it meant that he must have received the news and specially rushed over to solve the problem.
He also knew that he no longer had the ability to solve his own problems.
After all, he was only a Virūpākṣa Demi-Immortal.
But this time around, the Celestial King had brought along a powerful enemy whose cultivation had reached the Empyrean realm.
Even though he had Supreme-Being helpers by his side, these people had all been forcefully raised within a short period of time. In critical moments, they were completely useless!
The only person he could rely on now was Qin Yi.
However, at this time, Qin Yi waved his hand and said, "That's fine, there's no rush. Before that, I think we should discuss the conditions first. "
"You …"
Cold sweat appeared on the lion man's forehead. He already had a bad feeling. After all, at a time like this, he was the easiest target for extortion.
If Qin Yi took advantage of this opportunity and demanded countless things from him, it would really be difficult for him to deal with.
However, this was also very normal.
There wasn't a particularly good relationship between him and Qin Yi to begin with. If it were him, he wouldn't be obligated to help Qin Yi when they weren't even friends.
Similarly, he would definitely take the opportunity to extort Qin Yi to maximize his own benefits.
This kind of thing was commonplace everywhere.
Therefore, even though he was a little surprised when he first realized it, it was still within the acceptable range.
But now, the only thing he was worried about was whether Qin Yi would propose conditions that he couldn't accept.
After all, what Qin Yi wanted to do for him now wasn't something simple or important.
His life was at stake here!
Even though he wasn't young anymore, living for so long didn't mean that he wasn't afraid of death. This was especially so for someone like him who had sat on the throne for such a long time.
One must know that being the king of the Orc Kingdom wasn't easy. Not only did he have to endure the sandwiches between the humans and the Orcs, but he also had to be vigilant at all times, afraid that he would lose everything if he made a wrong move.
However, no matter what, he was still a king.
While enduring the pressure, he could also enjoy great benefits. The power to decide one's life and death, good living conditions, and standing at the peak of the kingdom. All of these were things that couldn't be easily given up.
Everyone knew this very well. Therefore, the more one cherished his life, the easier it was for him to be grabbed by the throat and controlled by others, making him do things that he wouldn't have done in the past.
"I want … your kingdom!"
Qin Yi's lips curled into a teasing smile. He looked at the lion man and said, "Are you willing to give it to me?"
"What did you say?"
The lion man widened his eyes and stared at Qin Yi. "You're crazy!"
Obviously, even though he expected Qin Yi to demand an exorbitant price, he definitely didn't expect Qin Yi to be this crazy!
Want my kingdom?
What does that mean?
Want me, the king of the Orc Kingdom, to be his puppet? Only obey my orders in the future?
No one would agree to such a request.
Even though the lion man wanted to save his life, he had a bottom line.
Even though he was greedy for power and was afraid of death, once he agreed to such a request, it would be equivalent to betraying his kingdom!
How could he agree to Qin Yi's request and make such a stupid deal?
At this moment, the five Orc experts standing behind him obviously didn't expect Qin Yi to make such a request.
While they were stunned, they were also hesitant.
Even though things hadn't reached the point of no return yet, judging from the development of the situation, the king and Qin Yi were likely to turn against each other.
At such a time, which side should they stand on?
They had once sworn to be loyal to Qin Yi because they knew that Qin Yi was a trustworthy person.
As long as they followed Qin Yi, if Qin Yi succeeded in achieving his goal in the future, their lives in the future would be extremely comfortable.
But now, Qin Yi actually made such an outrageous request, which made them realize that they seemed to be facing a major decision again.
