Chapter 1900: Chapter 1892: Let Me Take You Back First
The next day, with Gao Changran, Wang Fanning, the Yin Crow Sect Master, and others seeing them off, Huang Xiaolong left the mansion with Lu Xiaoqing and headed towards the registration site in the royal capital.
The registration site was not far from Huang Xiaolong’s mansion, and after an hour, they arrived at the registration square.
The square was packed with a sea of people, a sight overwhelming with bustling heads, nearly impenetrable.
The sheer number of people was somewhat unexpected for Huang Xiaolong.
As Lu Xiaoqing had mentioned earlier, in the past, each registration only saw tens of thousands of people.
But now, it seemed far more than just tens of thousands.
Lu Xiaoqing was also taken aback, not expecting so many people to gather.
Huang Xiaolong said, "It seems that under the influence of the Glazed Glass Demon Stele, the registrants this time are far more numerous than before."
Due to the Glazed Glass Demon Stele, experts from the Thirty-Six Domains of the Demon Realm and almost all from the nine great empires of the Magical Beast World had gathered in the Swallowing Sky Empire, so it was not surprising that the number of people registering this time was significantly higher than in previous years.
Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing stepped into the square.
After traversing the crowded square, they finally reached the registration great hall.
However, upon arriving at the registration great hall, they found several guards stationed at the front gate, and these guards were evidently not from the Swallowing Sky Empire or the Thousand Ginseng Kingdom.
Some disciples who came to register were also blocked outside.
Despite their angry faces, none dared to step forward.
"They are from the Fire Thunder Purple Python Empire," Lu Xiaoqing said to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and then proceeded forward with Lu Xiaoqing.
As they were about to enter through the gate, the guards from the Fire Thunder Purple Python Empire stopped Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing.
"Stop! Our Prince Huo Liucheng and Princess Zhao Rou are registering inside. You can only go in after they finish," one of the guards said to Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing with a blank expression.
Huo Liucheng?
Huang Xiaolong sneered, thinking this must be the brother or cousin of Huo Liuyun.
"Princess Zhao Rou!" At that moment, Lu Xiaoqing exclaimed.
Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but look at Lu Xiaoqing.
Could this Zhao Rou be someone significant?
Lu Xiaoqing said to Huang Xiaolong, "My lord, Princess Zhao Rou is the daughter of the Double-headed Demon Dragon Emperor, and one of the few beauties in the Magical Beast World. Her beauty is second only to Hu Qianmei, and her exceptional talent has earned her the favor of the Double-headed Demon Dragon Emperor, who is even considering making her the Empress."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong was a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected this Zhao Rou to be the daughter of the Double-headed Demon Dragon Emperor.
The Double-headed Demon Dragon Emperor, currently recognized as the number one expert in the Magical Beast World.
Not long ago, Shi Ming, Chu Han, Feng Chu, and others had a conflict with the Double-headed Demon Dragon Empire’s people, and there were even rumors that Shi Ming clashed with the Double-headed Demon Dragon Emperor.
Though the outcome of their clash was unknown, the fact that Shi Ming, Chu Han, Feng Chu, and others ultimately retreated indicated the formidable strength of this Double-headed Demon Dragon Emperor Zhao Yuan.
Furthermore, Zhao Yuan intending to make Zhao Rou the Empress meant her talent must be immensely powerful.
It’s important to know that just like the Emperor’s son, an Empress can inherit the position of a Great Emperor.
"Kid, you know our Prince Huo Liucheng and Princess Zhao Rou are inside, yet you’re still standing here. If you block their way later, no one will be able to save you," the guard from the Fire Thunder Purple Python Empire scolded when he saw that Huang Xiaolong was still there and hadn’t left.
"You!" Lu Xiaoqing was furious hearing the guard scold Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong raised his hand slightly, stopping Lu Xiaoqing from stepping forward.
At this moment, a high-ranking expert from the Purple Python Empire emerged from the great hall, one of the Great Emperor Realm.
The guards stationed outside the gate hurriedly saluted, saying, "General Qin Shiyu."
"What’s going on?" Qin Shiyu asked with a stern face.
"These two want to go in to register, and I was just telling them to leave," the guard promptly answered.
Qin Shiyu looked at Huang Xiaolong and impatiently said, "Why are you wasting words with them? The Prince and Princess Zhao Rou are about to come out. For small fry like these who block the door, just disable them and throw them away. Do you need me to teach you how to do it?"
"If you can’t handle such a small task properly, then I don’t think you need to be a Guard Captain anymore."
Hearing this, the Guard Captain’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "General Qin Shiyu is right. I failed in my duties. I will throw these two out immediately!"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Huang Xiaolong’s chest.
As the guard captain’s hand reached towards Huang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong’s face turned cold, but he didn’t dodge.
Just as the guard captain was about to grab Huang Xiaolong’s chest, suddenly, a terrifying black light erupted from Huang Xiaolong’s chest.
Bam!
Everyone saw the guard captain being blasted away by the black light, smashing through the great hall’s door, landing inside while spewing mouthfuls of bloody froth, staining the area around the door red.
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected the guard captain to be so vulnerable in front of a Tenth Order Early Stage Peak like Huang Xiaolong, nor did anyone expect Huang Xiaolong to dare injure him so severely!
Even Qin Shiyu from the Purple Python Empire was momentarily stunned.
Subsequently, Qin Shiyu’s face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent, yet just as he was about to act, a group of people emerged from the great hall, led by a pair of young individuals.
The young man was exceptionally poised and incredibly handsome, while the young woman was stunningly beautiful.
These two were naturally Huo Liucheng and Zhao Rou.
Upon seeing Zhao Rou, even Huang Xiaolong had to acknowledge her beauty. Unlike Hu Qianmei, whose allure exuded seductive charm, Zhao Rou possessed a heroic beauty that was both striking and gentle, mesmerizing anyone who laid eyes on her, especially with her mesmerizingly clear blue eyes.
Huo Liucheng followed Zhao Rou by half a step, saying flattering words to her.
After they came out, Huo Liucheng frowned as he looked at the guard captain lying in the great hall, then focused his gaze on Huang Xiaolong.
At this moment, Zhao Rou’s beautiful eyes also turned towards Huang Xiaolong, the clear blue in her eyes showing surprise, evidently shocked that Huang Xiaolong had seriously injured the Purple Python Empire’s guard captain.
"Is it you who injured my guard captain?" Huo Liucheng’s eyes bore into Huang Xiaolong as he slowly asked.
Huang Xiaolong responded indifferently, "Yes."
"Why?" Huo Liucheng asked.
Why?
With an indifferent face, Huang Xiaolong replied, "Looking at you, one wouldn’t expect such a pig-brain in a seemingly decent person."
A pig-brain?!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Pfft!" Zhao Rou couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her beautiful eyes arching, causing disciples from various empires around them to gulp.
Huo Liucheng was similarly stunned, but then his face looked extremely unpleasant. He took a deep breath and said to Qin Shiyu, "I’ll leave him to you. Make sure to bring him back to the mansion later, and don’t kill him yet." Saying this respectfully to Zhao Rou, he added with a smile, "Princess Zhao Rou, let me escort you back first."
