As the King of the northern area of Adastreia Continent, King Hu Yi’s life was full of free time and he did not do many things as he had people in charge to do everything for him; the phrase ’the true king is the one who leads the life of a ve’ was one that Xie Feng really agreed with. However, since things in Eminentis City seemed to be going well and the small towns and viges that Xie Feng traveled to seemed to be doing well, he didn’t have much toment on either.
After approaching the gates of the pce where the king resided, Xie Feng was led directly to the room where the little prince Hu Zheng was staying; this time he was not even stopped for a single second as it seemed that the guards had already be ustomed to his presence. Another thing worth mentioning was that the maid Xiao Xiao seemed to be busy with her duties as another maid was in charge of guiding Xie Feng this time.
Having learned from his slip upst time, Xie Feng wisely kept his mouth shut most of the time.... Wouldn’t he have to beat himself to death if he got a high favorable impression from another woman just for saying a few casual words?
Therefore, after walking for a few minutes following the maiden’s guidance, Xie Feng went back to see King Hu Yi.
King Hu Yi was currently at his son’s bedside and apparently had not moved from that ce since the morning when Xie Feng left the pce. This caused Xie Feng to have a favorable impression of King Hu Yi as a father.
Feeling the footsteps approaching, King Hu Yi immediately stood up and looked at Xie Feng; he had been notified of his arrival earlier.
"Shiva, I heard that you along with the ’yers’, as you call yourselves, managed to protect the safety of Eminentis City and its residents. As king, allow me to thank you on behalf of all the inhabitants of this city." King Hu Yi talked in a solemn voice and looked at Xie Feng with a serious expression, suitable for a true king.
Although Xie Feng was somewhat surprised at how well the middle-aged man concealed his grief over the impending loss of his son, King Hu Yi’s eyes could not deceive Xie Feng. It was said that the eyes were the window to the soul and he was sure it was true after seeing the pain that pierced the man’s gaze.
"It’s nothing." Xie Feng shook his head with a polite smile. "Protecting you is also our duty as yers.... After all, if something bad happens to you people it will be our loss as well."
After uttering those words, Xie Feng could swear he saw a strange shine in King Hu Yi’s eyes; it was an emotion of joy that for a split second the king of the city couldn’t help but feel.
"Good, good! Just by those words alone, you really are worthy of being the one who holds the title Creator of Myths of Legends!" King Hu Yi was so happy for some reason that Xie Feng even came to think that he had forgotten his son’s condition. However, the king’s next words made it even clearer how much the man cared for his son.
"So, about the mission I entrusted you with.... When do you n to leave in search of the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon? If you need anything, as long as I can fulfill it and it’s not too excessive, I’ll help you."
In fact, the poor man was so desperate that he was even willing to give part of the reward in advance to Xie Feng.
"King Hu Yi, actually, the reason for my visit is because I bring news about the mission you entrusted to me." Xie Feng decided to get straight to the point without wasting any time.
King Hu Yi’s face became serious and he hurriedly asked in an anxious tone, "I knew I did the right thing in entrusting this mission to you. Quickly tell me, what happened."
Xie Feng nodded and said, "Currently, the situation is..."
Xie Feng exined in detail to King Hu Yi about how the yers faced five waves of attack and about the appearance of powerful bosses at the end or in between each wave of monsters. He also told him about how the west gate had to be repaired and how there were several people who had lost their homes or businesses after they were destroyed during the battle. At the end of his exnation, King Hu Yi sighed lightly:
"Although it is a regret the loss of the west gate and the fall of so many homes as it will take us a while to repair everything, this result is much better than I expected..." King Hu Yi did not seem too distressed by the material losses andmented, "To be honest, I was already prepared to be informed of the casualties of losing several residents, but you just gave me a pleasant surprise. Although it will be troublesome to gather the materials to build a strong gate like the previous one, with the help of you yers, it will be much easier."
Xie Feng immediately understood what the king of Eminentis City meant. By giving thousands and hundreds of thousands of small quests to collect a minuscule amount of building materials to the yers, the time and difficulty to repair the damaged or destroyed objects would in fact, be much easier and repairing them would take less time than usual.
"However, thest beast that appeared was a level 30 Immortal grade beast." Xie Feng finished off.
King Hu Yi’s eyes contracted slightly and just as he was about to say something, his eyes widened as if he had thought of something. Expectantly, he stared at Xie Feng as if he was afraid to let him out of his sight for a single second.
Seeing the anxiety and hope on the man’s face, Xie Feng smiled humbly and exined, "The final beast that we yers faced was the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon."
King Hu Yi’s breath altered and he stammered, "T-Then..."
"The Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon will no longer attack Eminentis City again nor will it have the chance to hurt its residents because it is already dead." Xie Feng finished.
"Dead... Dead!?" Although he already expected it due to the fact that Xie Feng was here and the shouts of celebration could be heard from the pce, when King Hu Yi heard that the slithering beast that mysteriously appeared and disappeared had been sessfully killed, he found it hard to believe it.
However, the main reason for King Hu Yi’s disbelief was that the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon was a level thirty Immortal beast! It was impossible for lower level yers to face such a monster, let alone defeat it! Even a level 50 bronze-armored soldier was put to sleep after receiving the strongest attack from the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon!
King Hu Yi’s face turned red with excitement and after giving a quick nce at his son on the bed, he hurriedly looked at Xie Feng again: "Dead! Are you telling me that the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon is really dead!?"
Xie Feng understood the man’s emotion and without saying a word about it, he took out an item from his inventory; it was a horn.
The horn waspletely ck but at the tip, it had a part that was only two or three inches long and deep green in color. This horn contained the antidote to cure the poison that was currently iming the life of the little prince of the city.
King Hu Yi, who was somewhat doubtful and skeptical at first, opened his eyes wide, talking in a voice of astonishment, "This... That is... Now I remember it clearly! That horn was the one on the beast’s forehead! There is no doubt, the citizens who saw it, deciphered its appearance, and what caught everyone’s attention the most was the strange green glow of this horn!.... Ha ha ha ha!... Dead, that troublesome monster finally died!.... Ha ha ha ha!"
King Hu Yi’sughter was so loud that the room began to tremble slightly, startling Xie Feng slightly at the middle-aged man’s disy of power. Indeed, King Hu Yi was very powerful. The king’sughter was so loud that even the golden-armored soldiers standing guard outside the room to prevent anyone from entering were surprised as they could feel the king’s joy and excitement.
Xie Feng stood silently and patiently looked at King Hu Yiughing like a maniac. Everyone knew that the King of Eminentis City was a peaceful person who never sought trouble and was a very kind man, but this Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon had been constantly harassing the city, mysteriously appearing and disappearing, avoiding the dangerous guards. Since the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon appeared, the King of the City could not have a single day of pleasant sleep... Now that he had heard concrete news that the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon had died, he felt the pressure of the giant stone weighing on his heart finally disappear.
However, as a father, King Hu Yi’s greatest emotion came from the fact that with the death of the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon and the appearance of the antidote, his son’s life was finally safe. How could he control the emotion in his heart?
"Excellent, simply excellent!" King Hu Yi looked at Xie Feng with naked admiration and spared no effort in his praise. "To possess the title Creator of Myths, you are indeed worthy! A true hero who has the ability to create miracles. Shiva, not only have you helped me avenge the death of many innocent people in this city, but you have also helped me and Eminentis City solve a tumor that was slowly growing and bing more and more troublesome. What’s more, as a father, you have helped me save my son’s life not just once, but twice! This makes it really hard for me to thank you enough."
Hearing King Hu Yi’s words, Xie Feng secretly smiled and thought, ’Thank me? You don’t need to thank me, I don’t ask for too much... Just give me twenty immortal, heavenly, or divine weapons. Or you can also give me twenty million gold coins.... ’
Of course, Xie Feng did not feel the least bit ufortable or embarrassed to receive help in containing and killing the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon. From Xie Feng’s point of view, the Immortal-grade monster was destined to perish by his hands even if he had to face it in one-on-one. There was no difference in the result and only the process would change slightly.
