Upon hearing Mark's request, Lan Ju acted right away. He dashed forward and reached the top of the mountain within twenty seconds. Song Yue and others could already see the giant serpent was blasted into the sky before it freefalls onto the ground. Another minute later, Lan Ju returned to the party and informed Mark, "The snake was willing to form a contract with you on the condition that it won't be taken away from this island.

Two days later; Outside the palace gate, the King of Western Moon and his daughter were standing there to send off the guests. While King Shen Niu looked like he wasn't all that pleasant, the princess appeared to be very happy. She was smiling from ear to ear as if she had found some heaven-defying treasure. "Okay, I'll be leaving, Princess Shen," said Mark as the others got into the vehicle. Shen Ling smiled brightly and replied, "I already told you that you don't need to be formal, Lu Zhen. We aren't…

Genesis Training Grounds, Imperial City; *cling* cling* cling* The pair of swords were constantly clashing with each other at a pace that couldn't be seen with naked eyes by anyone weaker than an average 4-circle realm expert. As usual, Lin Xue was trying her best, and Allen was matching her speed, countering all of her attacks, and pushing her back. "Here, check out my new move..."

Mark stared at her for a while, calculating the pros and cons. She patiently waited in silence until he opened his mouth, "Before I give you my answer, I should tell it to someone else." Shen Ling didn't have to think hard to understand who that someone is. She told him that she will wait for his answer, feeling positive in her mind. Soon, they got out of the treasury room and parted ways. While the princess went to the king's chamber to give good news to her father, Mark went to Song Yue's room. He…

Both of them entered the treasury. Mark saw millions of gold coins spread around like sand with jewelry and gems found here and there. However, they didn't impress him a bit as he had more wealth at the moment. The princess then reached a wall with a huge handprint on it as if it belongs to a giant. "This is our secret armory." She introduced it as she placed her right hand on the print. The wall door slid to the left, revealing a chamber with weapons arranged on the walls. There are about 110-120 of…

While explaining her theory, Shen Ling was also observing Mark's expression so that she can know what he is thinking. She also had a couple of theories that can indicate that the Emperor might be aware of the truth but she wasn't hundred percent sure of them and neither did Mark appear to be welcoming such a theory. Hence, she didn't bother to reveal them. Anyway, the princess ended her analysis with the final topic, Mark's revenge, "I have analyzed your movements from your arrival to the Imperial City.…

Fortunately, his suspicions turned out to be false as she explained, "No, my father is willing to hand over the throne to me but he doesn't have the power to face the rebellion from the society. It was because of this decision that I fought to buy the 1000 panzers and purchase rights for howitzers. But, they can only be used to suppress the rebel elements. I need a partner who can stand by my side, someone who doesn't look down on women, someone intelligent, someone strong, and someone who doesn't give a…

It came as a shock to him that Song Yue had not only agreed to this marriage beforehand but she didn't even tell him about it. It's tough for Mark to believe it as his fiancée isn't the type to scheme behind his back. He liked her because of her honest and kind nature. Mark felt betrayed. He didn't want to stay at the place any longer and wanted to meet her. Not commenting on Shen Ling's earlier statement, he spoke to her father, "King Shen, please excuse me for a minute. We'll talk again on this,…
