Chapter 108 Ciel's Choice
?
The Blue Cloud God immediately looked at Ciel, Mu Yixue, and Mei Mei.
"Have a seat, young man, and young ladies," he said, inviting Ciel and the other two to sit down.
He was apparently very friendly to them. Although his smile was not so wide, he still smiled, it was very difficult to be a God who smiled at Hegemons no matter what kind of status the Hegemons were.
Ciel wondered if this man would still smile if he knew that he had made love to one of his wives, and asked his other wife to divorce him.
Even if he had no feelings for them since their relationship was a partnership from the start, but who in this world would like their belongings to be touched by others, especially if they were beautiful women.
Ciel sat on the sofa he pointed out, it was for one person, while Mu Yixue and Mei Mei sat on the sofa for two.
"Come, young people, please drink the tea," the man said.
"I didn't expect you to be this friendly, Your Majesty," Ciel replied, starting to speak.
Although the Blue Cloud God was not a king, but it was a common way to address a God, treating them like a king.
"Is that so?" The Blue Cloud God seemed surprised that he was called friendly or was he just pretending.
He sat down as well, starting to drink his tea.
"Ahh, right, how is the Goddess doing now? I heard she went to the Heaven Realm after that battle, has she returned?" the man asked.
The question actually made Ciel feel a little strange, he didn't know if there was any hidden intention in it.
Out of interest, so he answered honestly, "currently not, she said she would return after three days."
"I see..." Blue Cloud God nodded. "What about Rin and the Ice Knight, Roxanne, did they ever return? I recently heard that Rin killed a god. The Ice Knight even broke through to the Second Stage, you know, both of them are really geniuses, the Ice Goddess is very good at choosing disciples."
While saying that, he also glanced at Mu Yixue, imagining about her future since she was also a disciple of the Ice Goddess.
Of course, the information he said was extremely shocking to Ciel, Mu Yixue, and Mei Mei.
The two girls opened their mouths.
"Your Majesty, is it true what you said?" asked Mu Yixue, looking excited.
Rin was the Ice Goddess' second disciple while Roxanne was her first.
In the Ice Continent, they were like myths for possessing extraordinary talents. And since they had not been seen there for a long time, so the impression about them became even greater as there were many rumors about them elsewhere.
The latest rumor was that Roxanne had already become a God, but it turned out that she was already in the Second Stage.
And Rin, she had killed a God, which meant she had also become a God.
"Don't you know yet?" The Blue Cloud God seemed surprised by Mu Yixue's reaction.
"It seems that they have never returned, but their reputation in the other realm is huge," he said.
Upon hearing that, Mu Yixue fell silent, speechless.
She was happy to have two outstanding seniors, but at the same time also felt depressed.
Although she was confident about competing with them, given their achievements now, it would be very difficult for her to catch up with them.
On the other hand, Ciel wondered about the purpose of the Blue Cloud God talking about this. Why did he seem like he wanted to find out who was in the Ice Palace now?
'I guess I'll have to keep an eye on this guy later,' he thought.
He couldn't underestimate the courage of a God because every God must be the type that was extremely reckless in doing things or else they wouldn't have their achievements now.
"By the way, I must first congratulate you, Ice Prince, for obtaining the mysterious treasure that everyone wants, I believe we will all soon see your cultivation soar in unimaginable ways," said the Blue Cloud God, looking at Ciel. Even changed the way he called him.
The latter smiled and replied, "it is indeed something quite amazing, and I don't hesitate to say that even the Supreme Gods would go to war if I threw the treasure into the air."
Hearing Ciel's answer, the middle-aged man's face froze for a moment.
"Hahahaha, if even they would fight, a man like me would only be able to watch in the background," he said with a wry smile.
"What exactly is the thing to make you think like that?" he asked.
He seemed to be asking spontaneously, but Ciel couldn't be sure that he was really asking spontaneously, it was possible that he was deliberately leading the conversation for Ciel to accidentally say it.
Unfortunately Ciel was not a man who was easily controlled through words, especially when he was already suspicious.
He thought that if the Blue Cloud God had a scheme, he either underestimated him too much or he was so confident as a God that he could make a little guy like him fall into the trap of his words.
He replied, "It's hard to explain, I'm not even sure how to say it."
Ciel chose to feign confusion instead of directly saying that he would not tell anyone as he had told the Elf Queen.
"Such a thing, even explained is very difficult. You should definitely keep it in the safest place, Prince." The middle-aged man made a suggestion.
However, Ciel suddenly replied, "there is no safe place other than myself."
"You mean you brought it?" The Blue Cloud God was instantly dumbfounded.
"Yeah..." Ciel didn't argue.
He really wanted to see if this guy had a scheme, so he said that.
And he wasn't worried about any schemes because the Elf Queen was around.
With that woman's cultivation, he was assured of absolute safety.
If he wasn't safe with the Elf Queen protecting him, it meant that no place was safe for him.
The Blue Cloud God looked at Ciel with an expression of disbelief, and then shook his head.
"Prince, you're too brave," he said.
"Ahhh, after all, you are the son of the Ice Goddess, how could you not have courage like her." The man was quick to understand Ciel as he remembered who his mother was.
Ciel laughed in response, showing a hint of arrogance.
"Actually, I would like to talk about my two sons with you," the man continued as Ciel began to drink his tea.
"Both of them have decent talent, and I'm sure whichever one of them will soar to greatness after receiving my inheritance. It's just that I've always been confused as to which one to choose. Of course, I could choose both of them, but you know, I'm not that rich, there's no way I could fulfill the resources for both of them.
"Because of that, I sometimes say that I'll probably choose whoever can get good connections."
Having said all that, the Blue Cloud God sighed.
"Prince, I heard that you started to befriend Yun Ming, but what about Yun Xiao, what do you think of him?" the man asked Ciel.
Who knew why he was asking about Yun Xiao when he knew that Ciel was already friends with Yun Ming. Was he just asking for an opinion? It was possible considering he really seemed confused in choosing between the two of them.
"I have no particular judgment of people," Ciel replied. "After all, I'm new here, and if I were to express my opinion, it might sound very biased."
Ciel chose not to demonize Yun Xiao because the man was not exactly hostile to him either, so he was just saying what he thought.
"Of course, if you want to know who I want to be your heir, I can still choose," Ciel added because he had come here for a purpose, to help Madam Zhou even though the woman had not given him an answer yet.
"Will you choose Yun Ming, Prince?" asked the Blue Cloud God.
Surprisingly enough, Ciel suddenly shook his head in response leaving even Mu Yixue and Mei Mei confused.
"Then are you choosing Yun Xiao?" The Blue Cloud God was also confused, clearly not understanding what Ciel meant.
The latter calmly replied, "You have three children, why are you so focused on your two sons who keep competing, the end result might be bad if you choose one of them. And you know, men are supposed to grow up on their own, you should let Yun Ming and Yun Xiao rely on themselves. You can see whether they are worthy of being your sons or not. As for your inheritance, it's better to give it to your daughter. Her talent isn't bad, and she's definitely not as petty as your two sons."
When hearing Ciel's choice, Mu Yixue and Mei Mei opened their mouths, looking at the young man with an expression of disbelief before finally remembering about his way of thinking.
This didn't mean Ciel had already decided on this long ago, perhaps it could be said that he also decided on it spontaneously because so far all he had decided to do was help Madam Zhou.
Choosing Yun Chai'er was indeed beyond expectations, but that girl was Madam Zhou's daughter, so Ciel could be considered to be choosing as he had already decided.
