I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

56: No matter which lineage they belong to, they’ll all die if they come, that’s what I said, Senior Brother!”Dare to block this King?”

”Get lost!”

The person had not yet arrived, but the voice had already fallen.

Only the Martial Temple entrance was sealed.

Xia Qiankun walked over with the stride of a dragon and the step of a tiger, his hands behind his back. In one hand, he continuously kneaded two crystal-clear walnuts. Between his brows, the aura of a superior being was fully displayed. On his black python robe, an eight-clawed golden flood dragon was outlined in gold thread, looking lifelike and truly domineering.

”Your Highness is truly brilliant!” The steward, bowing and walking behind him, wore a fawning, sycophantic smile.

”By deliberately appearing late and acting at the critical moment, first using a strong stance to make the Martial Temple open the Dragon Transformation Pool for that Disciple of the Xuan Guang Cave, you not only beat the Martial Temple into submission but also win the favor of the Azure Light Cave Master. For this move, this lowly one can only say one word.”

”Brilliant!”

Xia Qiankun smiled indifferently and said, ”Your brain is good; you truly haven’t followed me for nothing. However, you missed one point.”

”Oh?” The steward feigned surprise and hurriedly whispered respectfully, ”May I ask Your Highness to enlighten this lowly one?”

”Heh.”

”I appeared late precisely so that our Princess and the Disciple of the Azure Light Cave Master would meet first,” Xia Qiankun chuckled.

The steward was shocked, then continued, ”With the Princess’s temperament, upon learning that someone had forced their way into the Martial Temple, the two of them would definitely have a fierce conflict. It’s been so long, they might have already started fighting. Does Your Highness intend to...”

”Heh.”

”Correct.”

”The Azure Light Cave Master’s Disciple is clearly an arrogant person, and that stubborn donkey Xia Youyue is just as obstinate. One of them will surely be injured!”

”If there isn’t some resentment or estrangement, I would truly worry that the throne wouldn’t be secure in the future,” Xia Qiankun sneered with a calculating expression, his eyes full of coldness.

At the time he agreed to the people from the Azure Light Cave, he had been considering this problem.

What if Xia Youyue and Nalan Ming took a liking to each other? If they really became a loving couple, could he still live his life securely?

What he needed was time—time to ascend the throne. Once he merged with the national fortune of the Great Xia, which of the Three Sects could do anything to him? However, this required an incredibly long time, and there could not be the slightest mistake. For this, he had been a dog for the Xuan Guang Cave for so many years.

Just as he was pondering this, good news arrived. That brat didn’t know what madness had gotten into him, wanting to go to the Dragon Transformation Pool and even clashing with the people of the Martial Temple?

Coincidentally, Xia Youyue had also returned!

This was simply Heaven helping him!

Therefore, there was Xia Qiankun’s belated appearance.

”Brilliant!”

”Truly brilliant!”

”Your Highness is truly calculating and leaves nothing to chance. My admiration for Your Highness is like the surging river, endless and continuous. As long as Your Highness gives the order, even if it’s a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, this lowly one will not refuse!” The steward spoke with flying colors, spittle flying everywhere.

”Eh?”

However, Xia Qiankun let out a sound of surprise. A corpse wearing only a vest lay on the ground, unrecognizable, its features impossible to distinguish.

”Go take a look.”

The steward was very sensible. He walked up, squatted down, looked carefully at the face, and then returned to Xia Qiankun’s side.

”How is it?”

”It won’t do; it’s already cold, can’t be used.” The steward shook his head very seriously.

Xia Qiankun’s face sank as he said, ”This King is asking you if you’ve figured out his identity!”

”Oh, oh, this lowly one overthought it, thinking Your Highness’s temperament was acting up again.” The steward realized and then thought for a moment before answering, ”He looks a bit like a pig demon; I’m not very familiar with him.”

Hearing this, Xia Qiankun raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at the corpse and feeling a bit familiar with it.

However, he didn’t think much of it and continued to walk away.

After arriving at the entrance of the Martial Temple, he was a bit bewildered by the situation on the scene.
