Chapter 101.2
Subsequently, Lin Beifan disclosed the location of Peng Kingdoms treasure trove to Eunuch Liu, instructing him to retrieve it.
Due to the presence of a meteorite from beyond the heavens (outer space), weighing 5000 jin, even an Innate would find it extremely difficult to carry back.
Therefore, Lin Beifan asked Empty Hand Master and Wine Sword Immortal to go together to retrieve it.
A week later, they returned.
Lin Beifan looked at the stone before him, pitch-black and unsightly, having crushed the floor beneath it, and said, This is the meteorite from beyond the heavens. It truly looks cumbersome and very hard!
Wine Sword Immortal gave a wry smile, It is indeed very hard. I exerted all my strength and couldnt even leave a mark on it! This is definitely a rare material for crafting weapons, perfectly suited for forging divine arms and sharp blades!
Empty Hand Master nodded, It is indeed a fine item. However, it will only reveal its miraculous potential in the hands of a master smith; otherwise, its just a piece of scrap iron! I know a few master smiths, shall we invite them to give it a try?
Lin Beifan nodded, Alright! Ill leave this matter to you!
Then, Lin Beifan issued an order
Peng Kingdoms Emperor, having made meritorious contributions by presenting treasures, is hereby granted the title of Duke of Peng, with all the privileges and treatments of a duke!
Upon receiving the decree, the Emperor of Peng Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he could no longer be an Emperor, at least his life and wealth were preserved, which to him was more than enough.
The reason he came here was that he knew the previous three Emperors were all living well. Even though they no longer held power, they still had status and money to spend, allowing them to enjoy their old years in peace.
For the monarch of a fallen nation, this ending wasnt too bad.
The Empress called out, Your Majesty
The Emperor of Peng Kingdom waved his hand, Dont call me Your Majesty anymore. I am no longer an Emperor, just call me Master. From now on, well all live here peacefully and keep a low profile, understand?
Everyone nodded in understanding, Yes, Master!
Afterward, everyone got busy cleaning up and moving luggage. Someone even bought a string of firecrackers to set off, hoping to bring good luck.
The Emperor of Peng Kingdom watched everyone bustling about and couldnt help but sigh.
It seemed as though everyone had come to terms with their situation, ready to embrace a new life, but when it came to him, he still couldnt let go and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
After all, he was once a lofty Emperor!
Now he has become a duke with a title but no power, the drop is simply too great!
The four Emperors raised their glasses together: Cheers!
Just then, a round of applause came from not too far away: What a refined pleasure you Emperors have! Gathering together like this, arent you afraid of arousing the jealousy of other Emperors?
The four Emperors were immediately displeased.
What we want to do is none of your business!
Just mind your own affairs!
After all, we are Dukes, not someone that commoners like you can provoke!
But soon, they were stunned: This seems to be His Majestys voice!
They rushed over immediately and discovered that despite being in disguise, the person before them was unmistakably His Majesty Lin Beifan.
They became somewhat flustered: Your Majesty, what brings you here?
Im on an incognito visit, just passing by and decided to rest here for a moment and have something to eat! I didnt expect to encounter all of you, what a coincidence!
Lin Beifan smiled warmly at the four Emperors and said, Youre all gathered together, are you planning to form an Avengers Alliance?
The four Emperors were unnerved by Lin Beifans gaze.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom was the quickest to respond: No, we are the Alliance of the Failed Front!
The other Emperors also spoke up to explain, Exactly, exactly We are the League of the Failed!, just keeping each other warm, with no thoughts of revenge!
Lin Beifan gave a slight smile, picked up a chopstick, and with a snap, twisted it apart.
Then he picked up several chopsticks and exerted a bit of force but did not break them.
Do you know what this means?
Unity is strength!
No! Lin Beifan shook his head and applied a bit more force, and the chopsticks snapped apart with several cracks.
My intention is that even if you all band together, you cannot defeat or threaten me!
The four Emperors:
Lin Beifan stood up with a smile: So, theres no need to be tense. Just do whatever you need to do; I wont take it to heart! Ive had my fill, so Im heading back now. I wish you all a pleasant time today!
