Chapter 2726
“Isha, is Mr. Chan doing alright?”
The Ikh Demon Emperor inquired!
“He’s fine, just experiencing some intense physical exertion; he’s currently practicing for recovery!”
Princess Isha responded promptly!
At that moment, Huben was ushered into the grand hall by the guards!
Before Demon Emperor Yih could express his anger, Huben abruptly dropped to his knees, his face filled with remorse. “Demon Emperor, I acted against your orders concerning that Kai without permission. Please, punish me!”
“No matter how you choose to punish me, I will have no complaints. I joined Li Xing’s alliance solely to confront Kai. I assure you, my loyalty to you remains steadfast!”
“My feelings for Princess Isha run deep; with Kai around, she only has eyes for him, and I must eliminate that obstacle.”
Huben spoke earnestly, leaving Demon Emperor Yih momentarily speechless!
The Ichthus Demon Emperor had been aware of Tiger Ben’s affections for Isha for quite some time. Now, seeing Tiger Ben take such drastic action, it was evident that his feelings had driven him to desperation!
The loyalty Tiger Ben had shown over the years softened Yih’s initial anger!
Huben was a devoted man, willing to act for Isha despite the potential consequences!
“Huben, I’ve told you before, I don’t share your feelings. There’s no possibility for us, so why do you persist?”
Princess Isha remarked, a slight frown on her face!
“Princess Isha, in my eyes, you are nothing short of divine. Though I know you don’t feel the same, I hope you won’t deny me the right to admire you.”
“Even just being able to gaze at you from a distance would bring me joy; I could never love another woman!”
“I understand that my actions this time are inexcusable, so I would welcome death at your hands!”
“Princess Isha, if I could perish at your command, I would do so without regret…”
Huben knelt on the ground, closing his eyes, awaiting Isha’s decision!
However, the more he pleaded, the more reluctant Isha became to act against him; she had no desire to harm Huben!
“Huben, considering your years of loyalty, I won’t execute you this time.”
“You will spend a few days in the water prison as punishment!”
“But let me be clear, if you ever disrespect Mr. Chen again, you will face dire consequences!”
The Ikh Demon Emperor proclaimed!
“Thank you, Demon Emperor, for sparing my life. I promise I will not disrespect Mr. Chen again!”
Huben quickly bowed his head in gratitude!
With his head lowered, Huben gradually retreated, but as he exited the Great Hall, a sinister glint flickered in his eyes!
“Father, why do I sense that Huben seems like a different person? His words didn’t sound like him at all; he’s always been so clumsy and awkward.”
Princess Isha observed Huben’s departing figure, confusion etched on her face!
In reality, all of Huben’s statements had been prepped by Li Xing; otherwise, given Huben’s usual demeanor, how could he have articulated such thoughts?
“Perhaps he genuinely realizes his mistake, and a stay in the water prison is an appropriate punishment!”
“You should go and see Chen soon; cultivate a closer bond with him!”
The Ichthus Demon Emperor urged Princess Isha to accompany Kai, hoping she would deepen their relationship!
He understood that Kai led the Heavenly Dragon Hall, which was far more powerful than Yih’s domain. Although Yih was the Demon Emperor, he was essentially under Kai’s command!
Yih recognized that there were thirteen halls within the Heavenly Dragon Hall, and stronger halls would inevitably emerge!
“Father, why do you insist on saying such things to me? It’s so embarrassing…”
After Princess Isha spoke, she turned and hurried towards Kai’s residence!
