What made Ye Kong surprised was that the female Saint Emperor Hui Yang was not the arrogant lady he had imagined. Instead, she was a young lady with a pair of big eyes. In the words of Earth back then, she was a cute girl.
Of course, she looked cute on the outside, but if you really treated her as a cute girl, you would be out of luck.
Hui Yang Saint Emperor was also wearing armor-like clothes, but the armor was not made of gold or iron. Instead, it was made of a shiny crystal. It seemed that Li Yao was right; Hui Yang Saint Emperor really liked shiny things.
Within the palace, not only were there the rulers of the 36 Sovereign Kingdoms, but there was also an expert like Cai Huang.
Hui Yang Saint Emperor's large eyes swept across the people before landing on Ye Kong's face with interest. She said, "I haven't even come to the Sixth Sovereign Kingdom, but I heard that the Seventeenth Sovereign Kingdom's King Ye played around with Li Yao. King Ye, you're not simple."
Ye Kong thought to himself that Hui Yang Saint Emperor was indeed not a cute girl; she was warning him. The Sixth Sovereign Kingdom was under her protection, so when Ye Kong played around with Li Yao, he also played around with Hui Yang Saint Emperor!
However, before Ye Kong could say anything, Li Yao hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Sixth Saint Emperor, the rumors are wrong. In reality, King Ye and I have a close relationship. We're like brothers, and there's no such thing as playing around."
Now that everyone was in the same boat, Li Yao still hoped that Ye Kong would immediately ask for 'special treatment', so of course she immediately came out to explain.
However, Hui Yang Saint Emperor was not easily fooled. She smiled at Li Yao and said, "King Li, you've made progress. I feel like I was being a busybody."
Hearing this, Li Yao hurriedly said in fright, "Lord Saint Emperor, this lowly one doesn't dare. This lowly one is telling the truth."
Yuan Tiangui and the others also said, "We've been getting along well with King Ye recently. It's indeed not like the rumors say."
The smile in Hui Yang Saint Emperor's eyes disappeared as she said coldly, "It seems that I was being a busybody."
No one had expected that they would offend the Huiyang Holy Emperor before they even said anything.
At this moment, Ye Kong walked out and laughed. "Hui Yang Saint Emperor, I am Ye Kong of the Indian Tribe. This is my first time attending the Rewards Ceremony. If I have offended you, please forgive me." After Ye Kong finished his opening remarks, he continued, "Actually, when it comes to being a busybody, Saint Emperor Hui Yang, you are indeed a little …"
As soon as he said that, everyone's expressions changed drastically. They thought to themselves, 'Is this Ye trying to completely offend Huiyang Holy Emperor?' How were they going to carry on with this award ceremony?
However, Ye Kong immediately said, "But let's look at it from another perspective. What kind of business isn't business? Only matters that involve me are considered other people's business? So is it not a matter for parents to care about their children's food and clothing? Is it not a matter for a master to care about his disciple's cultivation speed? Therefore, sometimes, being a busybody isn't a bad thing. Instead, it's an extremely good thing. The more a senior is meddling in other people's business, the more it shows that they care about the younger generation. I feel that this kind of business should be meddled in. King Li Yao is also very happy being meddled in. "
Everyone present praised in their hearts. What was a glib tongue? This was a glib tongue!
Hui Yang Holy Emperor's expression became much better. She smiled and said, "I've long heard that a madman, Ye Kong, has appeared in the Pure Land. I didn't expect him to be so good with words. Alright, no matter what, I'm being a busybody."
Her tone was joking. Only then did everyone laugh. Hui Yang Holy Emperor didn't continue to target Ye Kong. Instead, she greeted a few old acquaintances that she had met before. Next, it was time for each family to present their gifts.
Actually, the Pure Land was only so big. The valuable treasures were all in the Central Sanctum. As for the offerings to the Holy Emperor outside, there really wasn't anything good.
Hui Yang Holy Emperor didn't expect to receive anything good, and she almost fell asleep from listening until it was time for Ye Kong of the 17th Kingdom.
Ye Kong took out the ancient golden crow that Li Yao had prepared. It looked like a three-legged golden bird, but after a while, it would turn into a small golden sun. It was quite mystical.
Hui Yang Holy Emperor's beautiful eyes lit up as she said, "This thing is not bad! You're very thoughtful; I'm bored to death in the Sanctum every day. Good, good, good! "
Seeing Hui Yang Holy Emperor sigh in admiration, Ye Kong hurriedly said, "Esteemed Sixth Holy Emperor, I've been asked by a few Kingdom Rulers. Everyone feels that just going to the Sanctum to soak in the hot spring is not enough. Can you give me some special treatment?"
Special treatment had always been enjoyed by the top eight Kingdom Rulers. Even though the other Kingdom Rulers knew about it, they could only listen and feel envious. This time, they had never thought that Ye Kong would bring it up. They all knew that this person surnamed Ye's strength was extraordinary and had most likely squeezed into the higher-ups.
Hui Yang Holy Emperor stretched out his hand and summoned the ancient golden crow, saying, "I've already thought about the special treatment. I've already put the medicinal garden in the open area. When the time comes, you can all go in and pick herbs for an hour."
Hearing this, Ye Kong frowned.
It was evident that the medicinal garden was a sealed area, and it would not be easy to escape into the Central Sanctum from there! This location was not ideal at all! In actuality, Li Yao and the others didn't feel too good either. Even if they picked some herbs from the Sanctum, they would still have to refine them. Apart from a few experts in alchemy, the others weren't very good at it.
However, under normal circumstances, the Holy Emperor's decision was final, and no one dared to say anything.
However, this time, it was Ye Kong who wanted him to wait 60 years for the next reward, so he decided to take the risk.
He smiled as he said, "Hui Yang Holy Emperor, perhaps you don't understand the value of this golden crow."
Hui Yang Holy Emperor lowered his head and teased the golden crow, "How could I not understand? Isn't it just that Li Yao's dim-witted brother was tricked by you?"
Everyone's hearts tightened. Who would have thought that the Holy Emperor would know everything about the outside world so well without taking a single step out of the Sanctum?
However, even now, Ye Kong still didn't back down. He smiled, "Holy Emperor, actually, it's not like that. This one bought this ancient golden crow from Li Yao at a high price."
"What high price?"
"50 million Bodhi beads."
When Ye Kong said this, everyone looked at Ye Kong in shock. Even Li Yao himself was stunned. Hui Yang Holy Emperor raised his head and looked at Ye Kong with large, cute eyes. He asked word by word, "Do you know the consequences of deceiving a Holy Emperor?"
Ye Kong's words were completely boasting. How could he, Ye Kong, have 50 million Bodhi beads? Li Yao didn't have it either! None of the people present had it! If he had 50 million Bodhi beads, why would he even participate in the reward ceremony?
However, Ye Kong took out a jade slip and handed it to Li Yao, saying, "These are the Bodhi beads that the Crane Transformation Tribe owes me. Now that I'm handing over the money, I'm handing over the goods. This is the ancient golden crow that I used to buy."
Everyone understood. So that's what he meant. Ye Kong had used this move well. It was equivalent to doing Hui Yang Holy Emperor a huge favor!
Hui Yang Holy Emperor nodded, then asked, "Then you spent 50 million Bodhi beads to curry favor with me. Tell me, where do you want to go to search for treasures in the Sanctum? If you can tell me, I can promise you! "
