Chapter 866: A Basin of Cold Water Splashing DownTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Mhm.” The king hurriedly nodded in a rare expression of excitement.
That was the legendary Mystic Beast Forest secret realm!
This naturally-formed secret realm had stirred up huge waves for its eccentricity, and it was said that only youths between the ages of 13 and 20 could go inside to hunt for treasure.
If those that had already turned 20 vainly attempted to force their way into the secret realm, then they would be completely annihilated at the entrance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe secret realm would only open once every ten years, and it would stay open for a month. Furthermore, those who were unable to make it out of there in time would have to remain inside forever.
“As long as we can obtain a divine weapon, it will become the kingdom’s national treasure. This will be greatly beneficial to the royal court,” Queen Zhao said faintly.
The king also added joyfully, “Yes, that’s right! It’s said that aside from divine weapons, there are also divine beasts inside too.”
Qiao Dongbo was delighted, and he immediately cupped his hands toward the king and concluded, “In that case, the king also agrees to have the crown prince consort participate in this competition as a Qiao Clan disciple then. Rest assured, Your Majesty. With the crown prince consort’s cultivation and abilities, she will naturally be able to distinguish herself in the selection and secure a valuable quota for this journey to the secret realm.”
“Beside the four finalists of the eight great patrician families’ competition, Your Majesty can also select two outstanding youths from the families of officials to join the team.” Qiao Dongbo got more worked up the more he spoke, as if he was about to welcome Qiao Mu back to the Qiao Clan’s main family right away!
Northern Mo had six quotas in total for the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm exploration. On the other hand, Northern Wei and Southern Baili only had four quotas, while some other small kingdoms only had one quota. The impoverished small kingdoms on the frontier didn’t even have any.
When the other clans heard Qiao Dongbo’s declaration, they felt that it did seem quite reasonable.
The stronger one’s teammates were, the greater the chance of obtaining treasures during the exploration.
According to the stipulation, the inner worlds of six people in the exploration team would undergo a scan. At that time, they would only be able to keep one treasure, and they would have to hand the rest over to their clans.
Of course, the clans also had to offer them to the old king of the Mo Kingdom too. This was what it meant to fleece the youths layer by layer.
In the end, the youths that braved through this life or death struggle could only pocket a single treasure, not to mention the possibility that they might even die inside the secret realm.
The crowd excitedly discussed how Qiao Mu returning to the Qiao Clan’s main family would indeed be an extremely beneficial matter to them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two young sirs from the Qin Estate looked on coldly, and Second Young Sir Qin had even curled up his lips into a smile that contained a dash of derision.
Meanwhile, Qiao Dongbo was cheerfully waiting for everyone to finish their discussion. The old king would then hit the gavel and give the final word to have Qiao Mu report back to the main family.
Qiao Dongbo’s face revealed an immensely pleased expression.
Yet at this moment, Qiao Mu looked up and unexpectedly asked, “Hey, the heated discussion just now, was it about me?”
Qiao Dongbo turned around with a chuckle and looked at Qiao Mu with a false kindly smile on his old face, “Of course, we were…”
Splash! Qiao Mu took out a basin of footbath water from her inner world and directly splashed it at Qiao Dongbo, who was standing in front of her.
Our dear Duan Yue, who had long been on alert, had escaped far away, so only Qiao Dongbo and his two sons, as well as a corner of the old king’s sleeve, had gotten doused by the footbath water.
Previously, after using holy water to soak her feet, she had saved it, feeling that it would be quite wasteful to just throw it out. See, didn’t it end up benefiting Qiao Dongbo!
“Sober yet?” Qiao Mu asked a well-intentioned question.
