The description that Cai Guo was giving of Tian Long perfectly matched with what they saw that day. The disgusting pervert dared to play with that woman right in front of the guests.
Guests that he called! Such behavior wasn't expected even from the most vile spawn. Even Hong Qiu probably wouldn't do this.
And to think that this was the royal king. Every single prince and princess that he had seen so far demanded such ettiquette and their own father was like this.
"I understand where that second prince gets his temperament. But anyways, I am straying too much. Let us get back to why so many kids change the succession war. But goddamn, how much time did this king spend in the bedroom, to have thirty seven kids? Maybe even more! How does the kingdom even run?" Liu Feng was flabbergasted by this number.
To have so many normal children, and many more bastards, this king probably spent more time thinking with his little brother more than his head.
And the king did have a lot to take care of in the cultivation world. Sure, in a normal world, the king would have to take care of the normal people, make sure that everyone lived a good life, had food to eat, had a roof above their heads, but in a cultivation world, it was different.
The king had to do all of that for the mortals, but also so much more for the cultivation part of the world. The mortals had to be in balance with cultivators. The king made sure that cultivators werent running around harassing mortals.
And all of this, for the last few decades, were taken care of by someone who spent more time in the bedroom than in the throne room? That was riveting to even think about.
"Whoever becomes the next king will probably have the whole bedroom shattered and rebuilt." Liu Feng chuckled.
"Yes, Young Noble. Anyways, the thirty seven heirs to the throne make it all a little troubling. But fortunately, not every single one of these princes is of the right age. To enter the succession wars, one mut be fourteen or older. So there are only nine princes to go against, seeing that the tenth princess has decided to bow down to you." Cai Guo said.
"Eight then, considering that the second prince is all but finished." Liu Feng pointed out.
"Indeed. And with so many people involved, having a war going every single way seems too pointless. How would that work? Attack the closest person? Attack in alliances only to attack your ally in the end? It didn't make sense until you came in and suddenly took care of the Hong family and the second prince." Cai Guo said.
"Wait. Are you saying that until now, you guys didn't even know how the succession wars were going to take place? That I changed the entire structure?" Liu Feng stopped him in his tracks.
"There have been a few changes, yes. The imperial advisor has told us that the princes have all understood that it is pointless for them to try for a throne that they know that they cannot win. The Ding family does not support anyone, and every single Peak Soul Evolution Stage cultivator is either on your side, on the Crown prince's side, or not on any side at all." Cai Guo said.
"That can't be right. The one from the royal family, the one that we saw a day ago. The arrogant one. He is in the - oh right, he is neutral for now."
"Tian Hun is neutral, and will forever remain so. Tian Jiang, the sect leader of the Tiandu sect, is behind the crown prince. Hong Qiu is dead. I have rallied behind you, Young Noble. And as for Ding Jin, he is... I don't know what the Ding family is upto behind closed doors, but I do know that they haven't been supporting a prince officially since their doors closed. And the last one remains your sect's leader. Li Tian. And he will be an unpredictable person in this war." Cai Guo said.
"Trust me when I say this, but Li Tian will either support me, or he will not support anyone at all. But that is all? Are these the only peak Soul Evolution Stage cultivators that we have here in Tiandu? I don't know why, but I was expecting, a few more." Liu Feng said.
"Well, they are hard to come by, Young Noble. Very hard to come by," Cai Guo managed to force a smile.
"So then. What is going to happen? These eight princes. What are they going to do? Are they going to have to pick a side?" Liu Feng asked.
"That is exactly what they are going to have to do. Pick a side. And they are going to wait for a while to choose the right one. Who wants to take a risk and choose the wrong side in this terrifying fight between you and the crown prince? The crown prince wins, and whoever chose you will be branded a traitor to the Tian family. You win, and whoever chose the crown prince will be mercilessly killed by the outsider. So many possibilities. And that is why I have sent envoys to every single prince to rally them to our side." Cai Guo said.
"That is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard. You should have consulted with me before sending those envoys to the princes, family head." Liu Feng shook his head.
"Pardon?" Cai Guo was a little taken aback. He didn't expect this reaction out of nowhere.
"What do you mean? We are trying to convince the princes, these arrogant pricks, to choose a side and risk their lives on me. If I myself don't go, then who the hell will even choose me?" Liu Feng said.
