Chapter 336 - 336: Your Majesty! Have You No Shame?

Chapter 336: Your Majesty! Have You No Shame?

This time in the secret realm—

Besides the Saitama constitution being brought along, Chen Ye had also retained the super flight ability rewarded by the secret realm.

Other abilities, such as Azure Dragon form, flame powers, and Armament Haki, were not carried over.

From this, it could be inferred that only abilities granted as secret realm rewards could be brought through soul transmigration. Abilities gained through one's own effort could not be carried across.

After seeing the king issue the decree, Chen Ye left the royal palace.

Boom!

A thunderous sonic boom erupted above the palace!

Watching the figure disappear swiftly into the horizon, His Majesty finally let out a deep sigh of relief, his face bearing the look of one who had just escaped death. His back was soaked in cold sweat.

Looking again at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the king's eyes were filled with deep fear.

If the one who had stormed the palace had been that old monster from the Holy Hall Academy, the king might have feigned submission for the moment but would surely plot revenge—biding his time for a deadly counterstrike and wiping out the culprit's entire family.

But that giant panda...

Its strength was terrifying—so much so that the king couldn't even summon a thought of revenge.

That one punch's destructive force was nothing short of despairing.

...

At the Song estate.

Chen Ye descended from the sky and landed steadily at the gates.

Seeing Big Cat return safely, Song Yuting finally smiled with visible relief.

Though she knew her Big Cat was powerful, the royal palace was no ordinary place. It was said to be filled with experts, and even the king himself was a formidable summoner.

Until now, no one had ever stormed the palace and walked out unscathed.

But her Big Cat did it!

Song Zhichang and Li Wenjin were both speechless when they saw the bloodstains on Chen Ye.

Especially Li Wenjin.

He was utterly terrified!

Just earlier, he had already been stunned by the fact that the giant panda could fly—now it had dared to fly straight into the royal palace.

And now it returned, covered in blood.

Fresh blood at that!

Li Wenjin immediately had a dreadful thought, and his scalp tingled with fear.

"You... you..."

Just as he was about to say something—

A group of fast riders arrived from afar.

Li Wenjin froze when he saw their uniforms.

These were the royal guards—His Majesty's personal knights!

Why had they come here?

Their presence meant that the king must still be alive.

"Commander Zhao, why are you here?"

Li Wenjin rushed forward and asked, "Did His Majesty grow concerned about this situation? Please report to the king that I have everything under control here."

He said the last sentence with great confidence.

Commander Zhao glanced at the giant panda and couldn't help but shiver...

He was one of the few surviving members of the palace's knight guard.

To be honest, if he hadn't had a stomachache and been squatting on the toilet during the massacre, he probably wouldn't have made it out alive.

The scene of that mountain of corpses and sea of blood would haunt him forever.

Commander Zhao dared not look again. When he turned to Li Wenjin, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

Li Wenjin wasn't just a fellow classmate—they had been close friends for many years.

But now, this friend... was finished.

Then Commander Zhao's gaze turned cold as he gave a merciless order. "By decree of His Majesty—Li Wenjin is charged with treason. Seize him!!"

Immediately!

The knights behind Commander Zhao charged forward and slammed Li Wenjin to the ground.

The sudden twist left everyone dumbfounded.

The Ministry officers who had come to arrest Song Yuting stood frozen in place. Even Song Zhichang was stunned.

As for Li Wenjin himself, he stared wide-eyed at his friend in disbelief.

"Zhao Shuo, what the hell are you doing?"

Then it hit him.

The crime Zhao Shuo had just declared—treason?!

That was a capital offense punishable by extermination of the entire family!

Suddenly!

Li Wenjin began to struggle with all his strength.

"Zhao Shuo! Zhao Shuo! You're framing me!!"

But Zhao Shuo no longer acknowledged him. Instead, he dismounted, walked up to Song Zhichang, and bowed. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Duke Song, by order of His Majesty, your official post is restored, and you are granted gold and jade..."

What followed was a long list of rewards.

It left the crowd outside utterly slack-jawed once again.

A man about to be imprisoned had suddenly reversed his fortune?

Seeing Zhao Shuo bow with such respect, Li Wenjin suddenly stopped struggling.

He seemed to realize something and looked in disbelief at the giant panda among the crowd.

Song Zhichang also seemed to understand, glancing at his daughter and the giant panda—his eyes full of shock.

"Thank His Majesty for his grace."

Song Zhichang accepted the decree, though his mind was still reeling.

Soon after—

A large number of soldiers arrived.

Their mission: to arrest all present members of the Ministry of Justice.

It was clear that His Majesty was so eager to please a certain panda, he no longer cared about saving face.

Once everyone had been taken away, the farce came to an abrupt, anticlimactic end.

...

Back in the study.

There was no joy on Song Zhichang's face—only deep worry.

"Yuting, was it you who had Big Cat threaten His Majesty?"

Song Yuting smiled.

It was obvious.

If her father couldn't even guess this, he might as well retire and farm.

"Yes."

When his daughter admitted it, Song Zhichang couldn't help but ask, "The royal palace is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers—countless experts! Big Cat, he..."

"My Big Cat is invincible," Song Yuting replied proudly.

Song Zhichang gave a bitter smile, concern in his voice. "Now the Song family has made a mortal enemy of the palace. With the king's personality, even if he doesn't dare act for now, the moment he sees an opening, he'll definitely uproot the Song family completely!"

"He wouldn't dare!" Song Yuting answered with confidence. "At least not while Big Cat and I are still alive."

Her confidence came from experience.

In the eighth level of the Void Realm, she had seen Big Cat display his true power.

He truly was unstoppable.

Even the strongest Behemoth was unable to withstand a single punch from Big Cat.

"Of course, we'll still need to make some preparations," Song Yuting continued. "For the future of our Song family, Father, I suggest that tomorrow, you go to the palace and request a fiefdom from His Majesty. I think Longyuan Province in the north would be a fine choice. Once we relocate there, we can develop it well and turn the Song family into a feudal power like those of ancient times. Even the capital wouldn't dare overstep."

Song Zhichang was stunned. "How is that possible? The empire abolished the feudal system over a century ago."

"He'll agree," Song Yuting said calmly and firmly.

Song Zhichang: "..."

He suddenly felt like he couldn't keep up with his daughter at all.

Song Yuting suddenly asked, "Father, I heard that the Demonic Abyss in the west is starting to stir again?"

This abrupt change of topic caught Song Zhichang off guard.

Then his face turned solemn as he said seriously, "Yes. A century has passed, and the seal has begun to weaken. Within the next few years, there will inevitably be a great war between humanity and the demon race—a war that will determine the fate of our kind!"

"I see."

"Yuting, why do you ask about this so suddenly? Don't tell me you're thinking—"

"That's right! Big Cat and I plan to suppress the Demonic Abyss! As long as we bear the title of 'Heroes of Humanity,' even if Big Cat and I are gone in the future, the descendants of the Song family will be known as heroes' kin. No one will dare to touch us!"

Hearing this,

Song Zhichang was horrified.

"Yuting, don't be reckless! The demon race isn't to be trifled with. Especially the Demon King—on the human continent, he's practically invincible. Only a god can seal him..."

"Don't worry, Father," Song Yuting said. "Your daughter isn't stupid. If we really can't win, with Big Cat's flying ability, escaping with me would be easy."

Recalling Chen Ye's astonishing flight capabilities, Song Zhichang couldn't say a word.

In truth,

Whether it was the revenge plan, the king-threatening plan, or even the demon-extermination plan—it was all proposed by Chen Ye.

Though Song Yuting had changed a lot recently, she hadn't transformed into a completely different person.

These bold and daring plans were beyond what she could conceive.

Chen Ye's motive for eliminating the demon race was to give Song Yuting lasting political capital, making her the most illustrious hero and honorary summoner in human history.

Only then could he ensure that after he left, Song Yuting would not be persecuted.

Just like the Kong family in Chinese history.

Even when Confucius's descendants turned into utterly shameless parasites, they still lived well, shielded by their ancestral prestige. Dynasties fell, but the Kong family endured.

Any new regime treated Confucius's descendants with the utmost respect.

In fact, no one even dared question if those so-called descendants were real.

There were still more than half a month left.

Chen Ye's mission period was nearing its end.

He didn't know what would happen to his panda body after he left.

If it retained its current strength, then everything would be fine.

But if it didn't—or worse, if the panda died after losing its soul—that would be a disaster.

Without the protection of the "Martial God Panda," Song Yuting and the entire Song family would undoubtedly meet a tragic end.

Over the past year, Song Yuting had given Chen Ye so many benefits. He wasn't the type to just pull up his pants and walk away...

...

That night.

News of what had happened in the palace spread.

After all, so many people had died—there was no hiding it, no matter how much the king wished otherwise.

Especially the black dragon's corpse—even though only half remained, it was still massive. It couldn't even be disposed of without dragging it out of the palace.

The nobles of the capital, upon hearing of the upheaval in the palace, were all struck dumb with fear.

Many had been sympathizing with Li Wenjin. But after this news broke, they clammed up instantly—none dared to make a peep.

As for Song Zhichang, upon hearing the news, he only sighed.

Since his daughter had already paved the way, what else could he say?

So—

The next day.

In the royal palace's audience hall, before the eyes of the assembled ministers, Song Zhichang made a bold request to the king—who now looked as if he had aged over a decade—for Longyuan Province to be granted as the Song family's fief.

Truth be told,

The request was outrageous!

Even over a hundred years ago, only royal princes had the right to hold fiefs.

A duke like Song Zhichang demanding a fief? Utter heresy.

But strangely—

The entire court of civil and military officials stammered and hesitated, not a single one daring to oppose it...

Even stranger still, the king, upon hearing the request, actually let out a sigh of relief??

"Approved."

In the king's mind, if one province was enough to make that terrifying panda leave the capital, it was more than worth it.

Otherwise, with that panda lurking around the capital, he'd never sleep well again.

This empire was vast!

Losing a single province was a small price to pay!!

Hearing the approval, Song Zhichang sighed inwardly. The world truly had become surreal.

Then, composing himself, he said, "Your Majesty, there is one more matter!"

"The century deadline has arrived. I've heard the seal on the Demonic Abyss in the west is weakening. The demons are stirring. When the seal breaks, they will launch a war to invade our land and devour our people. When that time comes, there will be endless suffering..."

The moment those words left his mouth—

The entire audience hall turned solemn.

The demon threat was a matter of life and death for humanity.

If it erupted, the entire human race would be dragged into catastrophe.

But His Majesty had no intention of dealing with such matters.

Ever since the black dragon was killed by that panda, he felt like his own will had died with it. Combined with the damage to his soul... he likely wouldn't live many more years.

All he wanted now was to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of life.

The demon crisis? It hadn't broken out yet—let the next generation worry about it!

After his death, who cared if the world burned?

Just then, thinking of that terrifying panda, the king's eyes lit up and he asked, "Duke Song, do you have any suggestions?"

Since you brought it up, why not take care of it too?

Looking at the frail king on the throne, Song Zhichang sighed again. Then he declared loudly, "I'm sure all present have heard—my daughter's summoned beast is an extraordinary creature, born of rare lineage!"

Extraordinary? More like a monster!

Many ministers silently complained to themselves.

Song Zhichang continued, "After hearing about the situation, my daughter recalled the words of our ancestors: 'With great power comes great responsibility.' She is willing to go west and face the demon race!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Even the king looked invigorated.

If he could resolve the demon crisis during his reign, his prestige would soar.

He might even be remembered with honor after death!

Plus, he would be delighted to see that panda go clash with the demon race—and preferably die with them both.

"Duke Song, you have raised her well! I believe your daughter's name is Yuting? Such a hero must be rewarded! Her name shall be inscribed in the Hall of Lingxiao, for the world to revere!"

The other ministers immediately chimed in, lavishing reckless praise upon Song Zhichang's daughter.

Of course, Song Zhichang had brought up the matter for more than just glory.

Being honored in the Hall of Lingxiao was indeed an incredible accolade.

But he wanted more than that.

Since they were preparing to leave, he had to take the opportunity to wring out as much as possible—anything less would be foolish.

And so—

Song Zhichang began to raise a series of demands...

...
