"Which kingdom...I mean the nation is the strongest father? " Xu Ming asked with a curious gaze."America was said to be the strongest at that time, but Russia and China were also considered quite strong. It"s difficult to know someone"s actual strength though. Although there are skirmishes, the countries try to keep peace and not go to an all-out war," Xu Liang closed his eyes as he said to Ming.
"They don"t have cultivators, then how do they fight and decide who is stronger? Xu Ming gazed at his father with a curious gaze as he asked.
"They use weapons. Their weapons are nothing like our swords and s.h.i.+elds. Although their weapons don"t have any magic, that can easily kill a mortal. In fact, they have many weapons that can kill millions of mortals at once." Xu Liang responded.
"Really?What about immortals? Can their weapons kill uncle Zhen?" Xu Ming asked again with a shocked look on his little face.
"Hahaha, You brat. Do you really want to get your uncle killed? Anyways, your uncle can"t be killed by their weapons. If Uncle Zhen wanted, he could destroy the Earth at once, but as I said, there are no Immortals there." Xu Liang couldn"t help but laugh as he heard his son"s questions. He replied to him after laughing for a while.
Although he knew the strength of Earth"s weapons, he also knew the strength of the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm. Let alone War G.o.d Zhu, who was one of the strongest warriors of the heavenly realm, even weaker immortals would be difficult to control if they were on earth.
"Anyways, the story I"m about to tell you is about the legend of King Arthur." Xu Liang said as he gazed at Ming.
"King Arthur? But father said that Earth doesn"t have kingdoms? Do they still have kings?" Xu Ming asked with a confused look on his face.
"Well, Earth doesn"t have kingdoms now, but hundreds of years ago, they used to have kingdoms."Xu Liang explained.
"Anyways, The story goes like this. In medieval times, there was a little boy. His name was Arthur..." He began telling the story.
"... As his knights rode back to Camelot, they threw Excalibur into the lake so that it could return to where it came from. " Xu Liang finished the story.
"Hey, Why are you crying... Don"t worry about Arthur, the truth is that he is still alive and living happily in a secret place. So don"t be sad for him!" Xu Liang grew worried as he saw the sad eyes of Xu Ming.
"I should probably tell him stories with happy endings the next time" Xu Liang thought.
"Really? He didn"t die?" Xu Ming stood up in excitement as he gazed at his father.
"Yeah. He is still alive." Xu Liang responded with a wry smile on his face.
"Anyways, one day, you will become a king as well. You know kings shouldn"t cry. What would Arthur think if he saw the tears in your eyes." Xu Liang tapped on his nose as he said.
"I won"t cry!"Xu Ming said as he lay back on the bed.
"Father, another story!" Xu Ming again requested as he smiled.
"Hey, It"s already pretty late. Sleep little guy or mommy will scold you when she comes out. I"ll tell you more stories tomorrow" Xu Liang responded with a smile as he placed his hand on Xu Ming"s chest.
"Promise?" Xu Ming asked innocently.
"I promise." Xu Liang replied.
"Goodnight father." Xu Ming said as he kissed Xu Liang"s cheeks before falling back on the bed and closing his eyes.
The night pa.s.sed away and it was early morning when Xu Liang woke up.
Xu Liang got off the bed and was about to go for a shower when there was a knock on the door.
He changed his destination and walked towards the door. Opening the door, he noticed Mengchan standing there.
"Good morning Master. His Majesty has called for you. He said there"s something he wants to talk to you about." Mengchan said with a smile.
"Oh, Okay. I"ll be right there." Xu Liang looked back towards Yue and noticed that she was still sleeping.
"I better not disturb Yue." He thought as he left the room and closed the door. He followed Mengchan through the corridor.
"Master, I"m pregnant with your baby." Mengchan abruptly said out of nowhere.
"Your jokes aren"t funny. Firstly, you aren"t pregnant. Secondly, Even if you were pregnant, I haven"t even touched you in an improper manner, so the baby can"t be mine." Xu Liang replied with a wry smile on his face.
"Then why don"t you touch me in an improper manner? Am I not attractive?" Yue chuckled as she gazed at Xu Liang.
"That"s not true. You"re quite attractive." Xu Liang responded.
"Then why aren"t you interested in me? You"ve never looked at me with an interested gaze" She asked with an upset look on her face.
"What can I say? I already have a beautiful wife. I don"t want a harem either, so I"m not sure if there"s anything I can do. Don"t get me wrong, you"re quite attractive and I do feel attracted when you play your tricks, but you and I are impossible." Xu Liang shook his head as he said.
"Oh, we"re already there. I"ll see you later then." Xu Liang smiled as he noticed that he was outside Tian Zhu"s throne room.
He opened the door and entered the room.
"Father, You wanted to talk to me?" Xu Liang asked as he entered the room.
"Oh, it"s nothing. I just heard that you wanted to go to the lower realms after you break through to immortality? Is that right?" Heavenly Emperor gazed towards Xu Liang as he asked with a thoughtful look on his face.
"That"s right. I"m going to find the Desolation Empress. Yue has been suffering because of her physique for so long. I can"t let her go through it all her life." Xu Liang nodded his head as he said.
"Well, I won"t stop you in that case, but I have a gift for you that might come in handy in the future." The Heavenly Emperor nodded his head in praise as he said.
A crystal appeared in his hand that he threw towards Xu Liang.
Xu Liang caught the crystal and started observing it. He could feel s.p.a.ce fluctuations coming from the stone.
"What is it, father?" He asked with a curious look on his face.
"It"s a gift I received from an old friend of mine when I went to the Immortal World once." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu replied.
