Chapter 500: Is King Kang Seriously Ill? (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch "Xinteng Qianxun")



Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi's face immediately revealed an expression of astonishment.

She spoke with disbelief, "Me?!"

Perhaps because she was too angry, her fair chest heaved violently.

In the dream, Princess Xi was dressed in a low-necked, luxurious uniform, and having just given birth, her softness and fullness swayed, nearly making Qiu Tu dizzy.

Qiu Tu had heard of motion sickness and seasickness, but this was the first time he learned that someone could experience "milk sickness."

At this moment, Princess Xi didn't even notice Qiu Tu's expression. She looked at him with restrained anger and said, "Who am I?"

"A princess of the kingdom!"

"The entire Sixth Sanctuary initially belonged to my family, and my son will one day become the king of the entire Sixth Sanctuary."

"Why would I join something like the 'Fog Hidden Association'?"

"What benefit would I gain by joining the 'Fog Hidden Association'?"

Qiu Tu didn't let his small thoughts get swayed by a big moment; instead, he carefully searched for flaws in Princess Xi's words before countering, "Princess, I don't think your reasoning is sufficient."

He continued, "Just now you said that the Kou family holds enormous power in the Sixth Sanctuary and has already taken half of its territory."

"Now you're saying your family's status is stable. Don't you find the two statements contradictory?"

Princess Xi's expression froze.

Qiu Tu stood up, his feet stepping on the luxurious palace tiles, analyzing as he walked, "Aside from receiving the envoy group, I also specifically looked into the Sixth Sanctuary's and the Kou family's information."

"The Kou family is the Northwest's First Family, with a thousand years of legacy and a constellation of extraordinary talents."

"They have great scholars, renowned painters; poets."

"Their ancestor, Kou Yi, was the first in the imperial examination, graduated as the top candidate, held the rank of First Grade official, and was titled Lord of the Northwest."

"And King Kang's rise was precisely supported by the Kou family."

"The Kou family provided resources and manpower, helping King Kang lay the foundation for the entire Sixth Sanctuary."

"Furthermore, Kou Xuan and Kou Yu shine as twin stars from the same lineage, excelling in both literary achievements and martial prowess. This led to the Kou family and King Kang co-governing the Sixth Sanctuary."

"And when King Kang sought to establish himself as a monarch, the Kou family strongly intervened, ultimately transforming the political system of the Sixth Sanctuary into a 'Dual Monarchic System'."

"So, if you ask me, things might be entirely the other way around."

"You noticed the Kou family's rising power, their endless talents, and their ambitious nature. This gave you a sense of urgency and prompted you to actively join the Evil God Organization, hoping to gain the Evil God's backing."

At this point, Qiu Tu showed Princess Xi some leniency, "Of course, it's possible you don't intend to betray the Human Camp. You may simply want to reclaim what you believe rightfully belongs to your family."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's accusations, Princess Xi's face turned ashen.

Her willow-like eyebrows shot up coldly, exuding the majesty and aura befitting someone who once wielded power over a nation!

"Enough!"

She slammed her palm down onto the long table before her, glaring coldly at Qiu Tu. With a stern voice, she said,

"Speaker Qiu, are you questioning the political stance of a Sanctuary Leader?"

Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

As the princess of the Sixth Sanctuary, Princess Xi was indeed a head-level figure, arguably the second most prominent figure, corresponding to Elder Tang.

But… compared to Elder Tang's firm grip on power, Princess Xi's influence was far weaker—she merely held high status.

The intriguing aspect of politics lies in the fact that, when one resides in a high place and bears great responsibility, even without actual power, their words and actions can have significant repercussions.

Though she held no real power, upon arriving at the Eighth Sanctuary, both Elder Tang and Old Pang had to treat her with utmost respect.

The requests she made had to be accommodated by the Eighth Sanctuary as much as possible.

But!

That's in the real world!

Here in a dream, it's just the two of them—Princess Xi and Qiu Tu—and if she wanted to act high and mighty here, it was utterly meaningless.

With this thought, Qiu Tu didn't bother showing any courtesy to Princess Xi.

He walked straight up to Princess Xi and grabbed her delicate chin firmly, lifting it so she was forced to look at him.

Perhaps because she had never been treated so audaciously, Princess Xi's delicate face was filled with shock.

In the dream world, Princess Xi wasn't wearing her veil, so Qiu Tu could clearly see her face for the first time.

Princess Xi had an exquisitely shaped oval face, porcelain-white skin, a high, sculpted nose; her deep blue pupils resembled two bottomless sapphire springs, and her long eyelashes fluttered like the beating wings of butterflies.

At a glance, she left an impression of stunning beauty.

Moreover, her features clearly distinguished her from the people of Dongye State, naturally exuding an exotic charm.

Seeing Qiu Tu behave so rudely towards her, the astonishment on Princess Xi's face slowly transformed into fury.

She glared at Qiu Tu with her deep blue eyes, her royal dignity palpable as she said coldly, "Speaker Qiu, mind yourself!"

"Are you trying to ruin the cordial relationship between the two Sanctuaries?"

Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu remained unfazed.

His fingers lightly slid across Princess Xi's delicate oval face. Her skin was smooth to the touch, seemingly so tender that a slight exertion would leave a mark.

Then, Qiu Tu spoke bluntly, "Princess, would you dare to tell others about this?"

"A princess, summoning a foreign man to a midnight rendezvous in a dream, and then being taken advantage of by this man."

"If word of this were to spread, it would instantly become the gossip of the high-ranking figures across all Sanctuaries."

"And you... or should I say your son—how would he ever hold his head high in the Human Camp later on?"

"Even if you succeed in defeating the Kou family, would your son really still be able to become the next ruler?"

Princess Xi's expression froze.

It was evident that Qiu Tu had firmly grasped her Achilles heel.
