Chapter 233 Zhu Chongjiu's Gift
After Zhu Chongjiu issued a notice to the Yuan Universe, he instructed the sea monsters to find a Heavenly Lord powerhouse named Old Man Youhe.
He knew that the Old Man of the Dark River was definitely still in the Dead Black Sea, or nearby.
Sure enough, less than two hours later, a sea monster brought Old Man Youhe to him.
Upon meeting, the old man from Youhe first cupped his hands and said to Zhu Chongjiu, "Young friend, you have truly survived a great calamity and are destined for good fortune!"
At the same time, this action by the young friend has brought the cohesion of the human race to an unprecedented level.
It was clear that the old man of Youhe was not lying at all; his praise came from the bottom of his heart.
Just as the old man from Youhe was about to praise Zhu Chongjiu, he was interrupted.
Senior, I'm not here to hear your praise, but to ask you for a favor.
I only trust you to do this!
Hearing Zhu Chongjiu speak so solemnly to him, the old man of Youhe felt as if it were a matter of life and death, and quickly replied, "Please speak, young friend."
Even if it costs me my old bones, I will handle things clearly and transparently for my young friend.
Upon seeing the resolute Old Man Youhe, Zhu Chongjiu immediately laughed and said, "Senior, there's no need for that."
I want you to deliver something to Empress Huang Ting on my behalf.
"But this thing is quite valuable, I don't trust anyone else to go."
Hearing this, Old Man Youhe felt a little relieved.
Then Zhu Chongjiu took out three storage rings and said to him, "Two of these three storage rings belong to Immortal Emperor Yinglei and Granny Feng, respectively."
The remaining one was a trophy from this great battle at sea.
I've compiled them up, and they're roughly equivalent to the resources within a Celestial Emperor's realm.
The current resource shortage among humans is partly my fault, and this is my way of making amends to them.
After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, he handed the two storage rings to Elder Youhe.
After Old Man Youhe accepted the storage ring, his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
This is an immeasurable amount of immortal crystals and resources. Who wouldn't be tempted if it were in their hands?
This young man just handed it over to someone, and he even entrusted it to me. It shows how much he trusts me. This is really...!
After sighing, the old man from Youhe raised his head, wiped away his tears, and said to Zhu Chongjiu in a firm voice, "Young friend, rest assured, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will definitely deliver them to Her Majesty the Empress intact!"
After saying that, the Old Man of the Dark River left the Dead Black Sea without looking back and flew towards Huang Ting's Imperial Palace via a special and most secretive route.
More than two months later!
"Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better."
Empress Huang Ting, residing in her own palace, spoke with a voice full of resentment.
However, just as Huang Ting finished speaking, a human emperor asked with some worry, "If the immortals come to question us, what should we do?"
"What do you mean, 'what to do'? It wasn't us who ordered it, what are you afraid of?"
As Huang Ting retorted to the emperor, the Human Emperor slowly said, "
However, by cutting off people's source of income, they can still survive under his tyranny.
But now that they're not even letting people eat, someone must be having enough.
The immortals must have considered this when making such a decision at this time.
If the immortals were to unleash a massacre, it would deter many people and prevent the current chaos.
But the Immortal Venerable issued an order forbidding the killing of anyone above the Heavenly King level. I don't quite understand this.
Seeing the Human Emperor racking his brains trying to figure out what the Immortal Clan was thinking, Huang Ting said bluntly, "Why bother with all that?"
Anything that benefits our human race is a good thing.
The most important one is that kid.
They actually did something that our human race hasn't dared to do for nearly a million years.
Well done!
The more she talked, the happier Empress Huang Ting became.
This was the first time Huang Ting had smiled since Grandma Li Tian passed away, and it was a hearty laugh.
Seeing this, the Emperor turned to Empress Huang Ting and said jokingly, "What?"
Is Ting interested in this guy?
"Would you like your uncle, the Emperor, to act as a matchmaker for you?"
After hearing the Emperor's words, something unexpected happened.
Instead of being shy or furious, Huang Ting said frankly to the Emperor, "I've seen that kid's footage."
Although his appearance is average, it's still passable.
His cultivation level is indeed quite low.
Even the Heavenly Emperor would be fine!
"A sudden arrival from the heavens, with even the Emperor's uncle personally coming to propose marriage, making it seem like I, a human Heavenly Emperor, am unable to find a husband?"
Everyone was shocked by Huang Ting's reply!
"Damn, Huang Ting is actually thinking about this."
And judging from this, it seems like they've already made up their minds.
"Once that kid reaches the Heavenly Lord level, it'll be fine!"
Not only the other Heavenly Emperors, but also the Human Emperor were astonished upon hearing Huang Ting's words.
Unexpectedly, his joking remark actually backfired.
This left even the emperor speechless.
Fortunately, at this moment, an emperor stood up and smiled at Huang Ting, saying, "Ting girl, if he had the strength of a Heavenly Emperor, or even just a Heavenly Lord..."
Do you even have a chance to become such a prodigy of the human race?
Based on what he has done in the last few hundred years alone, he deserves you.
If there were another human being who could do that, I would marry my daughter, who was of the Heavenly Sovereign level, to him.
Besides, how old are you?
If that young man really agrees, then you're basically an old cow eating young grass!
After the human emperor finished speaking, the whole room burst into laughter.
At this moment, Huang Ting was finally made somewhat embarrassed and angry by the laughter and shouted loudly, "If you want to eat young grass, then eat young grass!"
what happened?
Even if I'm a bit older, I'm still pretty good-looking, right?
And don't forget, I am the Heavenly Emperor.
"We can protect him!"
Just as Huang Ting's palace was filled with laughter, a subordinate suddenly burst into the palace.
As everyone stopped laughing at the sight, Empress Huang Ting was about to reprimand her subordinate when he spoke up urgently, “Your Majesty, Elder Youhe has an urgent matter to ask of you.”
They are now waiting outside the hall.
Huang Ting knew the discipline of her subordinates well, and she also knew about Elder Youhe. Upon hearing this, she immediately ordered her subordinates to bring Elder Youhe into the main hall.
When everyone saw the old man from Youhe being carried in by his subordinates, they were all shocked.
The other person's face was deathly pale, and he looked as weak as if all his energy had been drained away.
He couldn't even speak anymore.
Seeing this, the Human Emperor raised his hand and cast a restorative spell into the body of the Old Man Youhe.
At this moment, Elder Youhe stood up weakly and said, "This is something that Ninth Brother of the Human Race asked me to give to Her Majesty the Empress."
After saying this, Old Man Youhe carefully took out three storage rings from his abdomen, then fainted from exhaustion.
Upon seeing this, Huang Ting quickly looked at the Emperor.
Before Huang Ting could utter a word, the Human Emperor appeared directly in front of the Old Man of Youhe.
He reached out and touched the old man's forehead with his finger, sensing for a moment before replying to everyone, "It's nothing serious."
It's because of excessive consumption, which has damaged the foundation.
"He needs to take some rare and precious medicinal herbs, and with some time to recuperate, he will recover completely."
Upon hearing the Emperor's diagnosis, Huang Ting summoned her subordinates to carry Old Man Youhe away.
Then, following the Emperor's explanation, they began to recuperate the Old Man of the Nether River.
After all that was over, everyone's attention turned to the three storage rings.
Everyone wondered, what exactly is inside?
The fact that even a powerful expert at the Heavenly Monarch level like Elder Youhe was willing to sacrifice his foundation to send it here as soon as possible!
However, these three storage rings were specifically requested by the human youth to be given to Huang Ting, so even though they were curious, no one dared to be the first to open them and take a look.
At this moment, the same human emperor who had just teased Huang Ting spoke up again: "Ting girl, could this be the betrothal gift that boy sent you?"
"Hey... you know what, it might actually be true!"
One of the few empresses present, who appeared to be a woman, replied with a hint of bitterness, "I'm not so lucky!"
Huang Ting, that girl, is even suggesting an old ox eat young grass. If it were me, I'd be telling the old ox to eat the grass sprouts!
As the two continued their banter, laughter broke out again among the crowd.
However, just as everyone's laughter began, it was interrupted by Huang Ting's extremely surprised expression.
Seeing that Huang Ting remained expressionless for a long time, the Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Ting girl, what exactly is in here?"
"Don't just look at it yourself, let us see it too?"
After hearing the Human Emperor's words, Huang Ting slowly withdrew her gaze from the three storage rings.
Then he removed the restriction on the storage ring and handed it to everyone to examine, saying in a somewhat dazed tone, "If this is really a betrothal gift, even if I sell everything I own, I still can't afford the dowry!"
