Chapter 2711
“Hall Master, what did that Ming Li King City take from you? I can go in and ask for it back on your behalf.”
The Ikh Demon Emperor inquired eagerly.
“From what you’ve described about the Knight King’s character, I doubt he would return what he took.”
“What he stole was my God King’s bow…”
Kai replied nonchalantly.
“The God King’s Bow?” Yih exclaimed, his surprise evident on his face!
This ancient divine weapon was a treasure many could only dream of possessing, and Yih could hardly believe that it was in Kai’s possession!
“Do you really think it’s feasible for you to retrieve my God King Bow if that Knight King has it?”
Kai asked, raising an eyebrow.
Demon Emperor Yih quickly shook his head. “If it were the Divine King’s Bow, or even an ordinary divine weapon, I doubt the Knight King would return it.”
“But how does the Hall Master know that the Divine King’s Bow was taken from Ming Li King City?”
Kai smiled subtly. “My God King’s Bow was taken by a Mole Monster, and apart from your Demon Emperor City, the only other place around here with Mole Monsters is Ming Li King City.”
“That makes sense. I issued a decree forbidding Mole Monsters from stealing, so it seems likely that the God King’s Bow is in the possession of the Knight King,” Yih mused. “However, I’ve already brought King Li’s son, Li Xing, to the Imperial City with a bride-price. How can we call off this marriage?”
“If I let Knight Star leave without addressing this, it could anger the Knight King…”
The Ichthus Demon Emperor said, clearly conflicted.
“Father, there’s no need for you to worry. I’ll confront Knight Star myself and tell him that I have no interest in him, yet you still wish to marry me to him,” Princess Isha interjected, bursting through the door with an unhappy expression.
“Isha, I… am considering the well-being of the imperial city!”
The Ichthus Demon Emperor sighed, understanding the nature of King Li. Just like his father, Li Xing was fierce, but for the sake of the entire Imperial City, he felt he had to make sacrifices, even his own daughter.
“Hmph! All you ever think about is the Demon Emperor City. When have you ever considered my feelings?”
Isha retorted, her frustration clear.
“Isha, as a demon beast, you cannot pursue a human relationship. It’s time you recognized the reality of your situation,” the Ichthus Demon Emperor admonished.
He knew that Isha had a preference for humans, but he believed it was unrealistic.
“Why is it unrealistic to like humans? I like Kai! He’s human, and we would be perfectly fine together,” Isha declared, stepping forward to embrace Kai.
Kai was taken aback and felt a bit embarrassed.
In contrast, the Ichthus Demon Emperor smiled slightly, aware of Kai’s esteemed status, which meant Isha could safely pursue Kai.
“A woman isn’t bound by her father’s wishes. Do as you please; it doesn’t concern me…”
With that, the Ichthus Demon Emperor turned and surprisingly walked away.
He was merely creating space for Isha and Kai.
As the Ichthus Demon Emperor left, Kai felt somewhat helpless, realizing he understood the Demon Emperor’s intentions.
“Princess Isha, you need to remember that men and women aren’t meant to be intertwined in this way, especially with your fiancé present. It wouldn’t look good for him to see this!”
Kai attempted to free himself, but Isha held on tightly.
“Don’t say nonsense! I have no fiancé. I like you, whether you reciprocate or not. My feelings are my own,” Isha insisted.
“If you don’t want me, I’ll just have to die! I refuse to marry Knight Star!”
Isha’s face reflected her stubbornness.
Kai knew she was serious about her words.
“Isha, who is this guy?”
At that moment, a cold voice interrupted: it was Li Xing.
Li Xing’s expression was grim, and a palpable aura of menace surrounded him as he locked eyes with Kai.
