Boom!

The headless bronze king soldier flew out, crashing into a thick pillar.

Bang!

Crack! Crack!

A large web-like crack instantly exploded and spread across the struck hall pillar, with debris tumbling down.

Bang!

The king soldier fell to the ground.

Huff! Huff!

Xia Hongyao panted heavily, refraining from further attacks.

At this moment, her body was already drenched in blood, which had soaked through the sportswear on her high ponytail and dripped onto the floor, pooling into a small puddle.

"This guy shouldn’t be able to get up again, right?"

"This is the third time we’ve killed it!"

"Xia Tuan is really strong!"

"What Xia Tuan! Call her God Xia!"

A group of people murmured, looking at Xia Hongyao in disbelief, and even Chestnut Medal was no exception.

They were truly amazed by Xia Hongyao’s combat prowess.

The King’s Chess piece was indeed strong, with combat capability definitely at Dragon Level, but against Xia Hongyao, it still ended up being forcibly dismantled.

If it weren’t for this monster’s ability to resurrect, Xia Hongyao wouldn’t have had such a hard time.

However, God Xia’s will was indeed strong. Despite her left shoulder being pierced by the King’s Chess soldier, and her heart almost destroyed, she still showed no panic or fear, exuding a high fighting spirit.

Previously, apart from retrieving goods from the river, Xia Hongyao didn’t have much to stand out for, and everyone calling her God Xia was out of courtesy.

But now, those two words came from genuine respect.

"Get up!"

Xia Hongyao called out while activating the self-healing Divine Grace, repairing her injuries, as she awaited the King’s Chess soldier to stand up again.

Taking the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and destroy the monster’s body?

Xia Hongyao disdained such tactics!

She wanted to completely defeat the King’s Chess from the front.

The King’s Chess soldier didn’t move. Its body was already riddled with holes, covered with cracks, as if it had been tortured.

Now green bronze liquid seeped through those cracks, and the King’s Chess deflated like a leaking balloon.

A minute later, all that was left on the ground was a wrinkled bronze skin, like a shell shed by a mature cicada in summer.

[Your little cake is quite formidable!]

[Are you really not going to eat her?]

Eater God remarked.

Lin Baici, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The king applauded: "Someone, reward!"

"Reward ten thousand gold!"

Immediately, a group of little eunuchs came running out from behind the curtain carrying wooden trays, hastening to Xia Hongyao.

These trays were laden with various exotic treasures.

Xia Hongyao glanced at them; she actually wanted the skin of the King’s Chess, as she believed it was a powerful taboo thing.

And also,

The chess piece itself.

Just as Xia Hongyao was pondering if she could request the king to bestow these two items upon her, the king spoke.

"Would you like to be my beauty?"

The king, changing from his imposing demeanor, looked tenderly at Xia Hongyao. Perhaps because he was a king, he didn’t hide his intentions, openly glancing at Xiong Da’s high ponytail.

His possessiveness was through the roof!

"What did you say?"

San Miyairi was astonished.

There was even a proposal?

Dudek and Wang Helin first showed surprise, then seemed thoughtful.

This king, likely, is also a God.

Now,

A God has taken a liking to a human woman...

These two big shots suddenly wanted to know what kind of being would be born from a union of God and human.

"Is this the luck of the foolish?"

Gu Qingqiu teased: "Or is this king too shallow? Only liking Xiong Da?"

Here, the term beauty wasn’t an adjective but a title for a concubine, with a high status comparable to two thousand stone ranks, akin to a lesser noble.

For an ordinary woman, that single sentence from the king elevated her instantly, jumping across social classes.

"You fancy me?"

Xia Hongyao asked in surprise, pointing to herself.

"Can’t I?"

The king frowned.

"No, Little Qiu Qiu and Eri-chan look better than me, don’t they?"

Xia Hongyao completely didn’t understand.

Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi were top-notch in looks and figure, oh, Gu Qingqiu might fall slightly short, but the Sakura girl was the epitome of sexy.

In this era, they absolutely possessed national beauty, not to mention their intelligence!

Well!

Intelligence might not be a plus!

After all, if these two decided to become Daji, with their wits and means, the king would be playing with fire in less than three years, leading to disaster for the country.

Even choosing Kim Myungjin wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Absolutely a stunner!

That tight-fitting jeans showcased long legs without exaggeration, the rear so alluring it made her want to be a man to indulge, paired with high heels...

Perfection!

Alright, if the king had a special penchant for petite forms, Hua Yue Yu would suffice!

Aside from Xiong Da, she had no allure!

Xia Hongyao simply couldn’t fathom being fancied by a king one day.

The king looked at Gu Qingqiu, then glanced at San Miyairi, and commented.

"Beautiful indeed, but their hearts are inscrutable!"

Implying these two are venomous beauties and should be kept at a distance!

"..."

San Miyairi was immediately angered.

Why tarnish my character? Come on!

Especially in front of Lord Lin.

Being labeled such by a God was quite alarming.

San Miyairi secretly glanced at Lin Baici, noticing he showed no unusual expression, she relaxed a bit.

Gu Qingqiu was indifferent.

With her manic personality, had she been born in the Warring States period, she would actually have the urge to marry an Emperor and provoke chaos.
