Absolute Choice 8

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  Shi Xiaobai nodded as though it was taken for granted, "Yes, now."

  The Infernal Queen's ears immediately turned red as she looked up to give Shi Xiaobai a glance. Her eyelashes fluttered and she bit down on her lower lip. With a delicate voice, she asked, "Darling, are you so much in a rush?"

  Shi Xiaobai found it odd when he saw the Infernal Queen's reaction. He did not know why the Infernal Queen was acting in such a manner, but he was indeed in rush. The Absolute Choice had left a psychological scar on him, so Shi Xiaobai did not wish to delay even for a moment. He wanted to figure out what it meant by the “King’s Mandate”.

  Therefore, Shi Xiaobai said seriously, "Yes, there is no time for delay!"

  The Infernal Queen gaped as a struggle flashed in her eyes. Finally she sighed and said faintly, "I'll do as you wish. As long as...Darling is happy."

  After the Infernal Queen said that, she turned and slowly walked into the inner sanctums of the palace.

  Shi Xiaobai immediately followed closely behind.

  The Infernal Queen walked rather slowly, as though she was deliberately prolonging the trip to the room. However, the Infernal King's bedroom was not far from the palace's hall, so in less than three minutes, they had arrived in front of the bedroom.

  After entering the door, the large bedroom came into view.

  The Infernal King's bedroom had almost everything. There was a large and soft bed. There were desks and bookshelves, and there was even a bathing pool in the bedroom. It was extremely spacious.

  Shi Xiaobai immediately cast his gaze at a desk that was filled with books and paper slips. His eyes lit up slightly because the clues he was searching for could very well be on that desk.

  At that moment, the Infernal Queen slowly closed the doors to the room, and a feminine voice sounded from her.

  "I'll first do a dance?"

  Shi Xiaobai turned to give her a look and saw the Infernal Queen having her head deeply bowed. He could not see her expression, and did not understand why the Infernal Queen would talk about dancing the moment she entered. There was ample space in the room, so she could dance as she wished, but he had no mood to watch the Infernal Queen dance.

  Shi Xiaobai was eager for the Infernal Queen to leave so that he could search for the 'secret of the Infernal King' in the room. However, he could not find a good excuse to make her leave. Considering how she would be dancing, it was possible that she would not notice that he was rummaging through the desk.

  Therefore, Shi Xiaobai said with a nod, "Alright, go ahead and dance."

  After saying that, Shi Xiaobai turned and headed towards the desk.

  At the same time, the Infernal Queen lifted her toes and began dancing.

  The Infernal Queen had a beautiful body with slender curves. Her loose clothes could not hide the proud figure she had. It was truly a beautiful sight when she began dancing.

  However, Shi Xiaobai's eyes and mind could not appreciate such an act that would make the blood of most males boil to the point of them losing control. He began burying his head into the desk as he began searching. He flipped through the book that was on the desk.

  It was a book on political governance. Shi Xiaobai was slightly astonished. From the looks of it, the Infernal King he was playing was a good ruler that governed the country well?

  As Shi Xiaobai read it for a while, he immediately felt exhausted. Reading books was truly something not suited for him.

  Shi Xiaobai shook his head helplessly and instinctively glanced at the dancing Infernal Queen. He wanted to see if the Infernal Queen was paying him any attention.

  When Shi Xiaobai looked up, he was immediately given a fright!

  "What are you doing!?"

  Shi Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise!

  It was unknown when the dancing Infernal Queen had shed her colorful gown. The only thing left on her body was a red bodice known as a dudou. However, it could not hide the two ample breasts and the white undergarment by her crouch. A large area of snow-white and milky skin was exposed. The sexiness exuded by her was suffocating.

  When the Infernal Queen heard this, she immediately stopped dancing and with both arms holding her chest, she turned sideways. She looked somewhat embarrassed, and said with a tone of grievance, "I was dancing a striptease. Darling, don't you like it? You said, it will be more...appealing."

  Shi Xiaobai was startled.

  He liked watching stripteases?

  He never expected that the Infernal Queen's memories of him as the Infernal King was as such!

  Shi Xiaobai was rendered speechless and said to her, "This King doesn't like it. This King is not such an Infernal King!"

  The Infernal Queen slowly lifted her head as she gave a perplexed look. Suddenly, her eyes flashed a look of enlightenment!

  She gently bit her lower lip and with slightly red cheeks, she walked towards Shi Xiaobai without wearing the clothes left on the ground. She came to a gradual stop when she came to the study desk.

  The Infernal Queen slowly closed her eyes and placed her arms behind her. Lifting her chest with a deep ravine, she pursed her lips gently and said in a faint voice.

  "Darling, do you want to take it off yourself?"

  Chapter389 Because you are not the strongest Transcendent

  Transcendence

  City walls that were more than a hundred meters tall stretched out for miles in all directions.

  Unlike the other three city walls, the western wall was especially reinforced. It was built with even harder materials.

  This wall was extremely special because it was closest to the Silent Desolate Lands, and it was also the city wall that was closest to the Infernal domain. If the Infernal King would come attacking, this wall was the first to be hit.

  Therefore, this city wall was not only a city wall. It was the first line of defense Transcendence had against the Infernal domain. Even though the Infernal domain had not invaded Transcendence for millennia, the Transcendents did not lax on the construction of the city wall that faced the Infernal domain.

  But...at that moment, something that shocked the Transcendence was reverberating through the country. It was even something that caused great panic. A gaping hole in the western gate that had been specially reinforced had been ripped apart!

  The gap went from top to down, stretching a hundred meters or more. The gap from left to right was also a hundred meters wide. It was as though a hundred-meter squarish gap had burst through the city walls.

  What sort of terrifying force could create such appalling damage?

  And most surprising of all, the hundred-meter-tall giant that always sat behind the western city wall like a mountain had suddenly disappeared!

  Combining these two points, the truth to the matter could easily be inferred. Furthermore, a few eye-witnesses had seen an unbelievable scene. The gatekeeping giant had torn a hundred-meter-wide gap in the city wall with his bare hands before leaving Transcendence through the hole!

  The entire city fell into panic as they discussed the matter.

  The gatekeeping giant was brought by Leonis a decade ago from the outside world. Back then, the giant was only slightly more than ten meters tall.

  And according to what Leonis said, the giant was a mixed child between the Transcendents and the Gargantuans. He had happened to encounter the child and brought him back.

  Although the giant was large in size, the Transcendents did not feel any fear of him after they got accustomed to seeing him. This was because in their established expressions, the Gargantuans were as weak as ants in front of the Transcendents.

  With the entrenched racial discrimination, they only looked at the mixed-blood giant with contempt.

  However, Leonis handed the important task of guarding the gates to the giant. Although Leonis said that he was not guarding the gates but watching it, it still resulted in the jealousy and protests f
rom rogues.

  Therefore for the past decade, there were several Transcendents that deliberately came to mock and bully the giant. After learning that the giant was a weak coward who did not dare to fight back, to the point of not even daring to speak back at all, the Transcendents went from bad to worse.

  The giant only faced the city wall and had his back facing everyone else. He was like a lonely mountain, as his back endured the mockery and bullying of the Transcendents, but the only response he gave was silence and tolerance.

  And what was even more astonishing was that in a decade, the giant went from a height of ten meters to about a height of hundred meters. He far exceeded the impression the Transcendents had of Gargantuans.

  However, his increase in size did not make the Transcendents feel any fear for the gatekeeping giant. It was because the giant had also been influenced by the racial discrimination, as the belief that the race of the Transcendents was the strongest race became entrenched in him.

  He would be extremely polite to Transcendent beggars, but would hurl invectives at Bravehearts of other races. He was like a Transcendent more like any other Transcendent. He stubbornly believed that the bloodline of any other race was garbage.

  And it included his Gargantuan bloodline.

  As the saying goes, whoever is pitiful must have a cause to be despised. It was probably the most apt description of the gatekeeping giant.

  But at this moment, the giant had left after the few humans left. He had left Transcendence, leaving the spot he had never left for a decade!

  Why did the gatekeeping giant suddenly leave?

  Furthermore, why did he leave in such a shocking and exaggerated manner? The hundred-meter-wide gap looked like the gaping hole of an enraged behemoth.

  However, what was even more astonishing ensued.

  King Leonis had disappeared as well!

  ...

  ...

  Silent Desolate Lands

  Yellow sand stirred as a massive figure walked on it. Its speed was not too fast, but every step was filled with force. Each step on the desolate ground caused a loud rumble as the land quaked like an earthquake.

  The firm ground caved in, forming deep holes. They connected into a path and they were footprints of anger.

  The hundred-meter-tall giant was walking on the vast expanse. He was heading west, where the Infernal domain was.

  Suddenly, an extremely fast figure chased the gigantic footprints from afar.

  "Stop!"

  A commanding voice resounded.

  The voice obviously reached the giant's ears and when he heard the voice, he suddenly stopped his angry footsteps like a tame lion.

  The giant turned back and said with a humble and respectful attitude, "Your Majesty."

  The person who chased after him was obviously King Leonis. However, Leonis did not seem to look fine. He was chasing after the giant with his third form. However, his trembling feet indicated his weakness and how he could barely maintain his form.

  When Leonis came close to the hundred-meter-tall giant, he looked like an ant in front of an elephant. However, the giant's humble stance of bowing his head made it seem like he was the ant that could be easily trampled.

  Leonis tried his best to hide his weak pants. It sounded like angry breathing, causing the giant to lower his head even lower.

  "Why are you leaving Transcendence?"

  Leonis asked with a solemn tone.

  However, the giant did not respond. He was silent, like an ice-cold mountain.

  Leonis's expression turned increasingly gloomy, but he did not force the giant for an answer. Instead, he asked a question, "Where do you plan on going?"

  The giant remained silent.

  Leonis narrowed his eyes as he stared at the giant. After a moment, he said with a deep voice, "So do you think that you have grown up and can now think independently?"

  The giant finally looked up and slowly opened his mouth.

  But he did not answer any of Leonis's questions. Instead, he used a firm, but somewhat crazy voice to say deeply, "The race of the Transcendents is the strongest race in the world!"

  Leonis faltered slightly as a wry smile suffused across his lips. He said, "This King had once thought so too, but This King has lost. He has lost to a human. Child, This King still believed that the race of the Transcendents is the strongest race in the world, but maybe there should be a prefix of 'one of'."

  The giant shook his head and decisively said, "No, there is no 'one of'! You once said over and over again that the race of the Transcendents is the strongest race in the world and that I, who have Gargantuan blood flowing inside me, is more wretched than Transcendent beggars. I believed in every word you said. Furthermore, I completely embraced it. I even tolerated the humiliation of Transcendent beggars, but if you tell me that everything isn't real, and that my decade of concession and tolerance was worth nothing, I will not be able to accept it. Neither can I accept it! The race of the Transcendents has to be the strongest race in the world, not one of the strongest!"

  When Leonis heard this, he fell into a prolonged silence. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Child, This King was afraid that you would cause trouble and wished that you would keep a low profile. That is the reason for those words. You have done well for the past decade, but This King's concern for you has been lacking to not know that you had suffered such humiliation. It is the fault of This King. But when you are down a path of mistakes, stopping is also a form of progress. Child, This King wants to correct his mistakes. The race of the Transcendents isn't the strongest race in the world. Be it the Infernal King or that human, they can defeat This King. You do not need to remain humble against any Transcendent, including This King."

  The giant fell silent for a moment before the humility in his eyes gradually vanished. He said in a deep voice, "Your defeat does not represent the defeat of the Transcendents, because...you are not the strongest Transcendent!"

  Chapter390 Why don't you die now?

  Leonis's pupils contracted slightly as he said coldly, "So the reason why you left Transcendence in such a hurry is because you want to defeat or even kill that human. You want to prove that you are the strongest person in Transcendence?"

  The giant shook his head slowly and said, "There's no need to prove it, because you and I both know very well that ten years ago, you were already not my match. I have always been the strongest person among the Transcendents. But don't you worry. I will never defeat the human that defeated you. Because if that happens, everyone will know that I'm stronger than you. And that is the reason why you have always wished for me to remain a silent watchdog of the city gates. You do not wish to lose your position, and I will never vie for it. However, I need to prove that the race of the Transcendents is the strongest race in the world because it has been a faith that I have always devoted myself into believing in order to tolerate the acts against me. So, I want to kill the Infernal King and destroy the Infernal domain, so that everyone will understand that the Transcendents are still extremely strong!"

  When Leonis heard this, he turned pale as he said with a trembling voice, "You are out of your mind! Yes, you are stronger than me. You were in the fourth form of the Transcendents at your birth. And you can even use the fifth or even sixth form. You can very likely be really stronger than the Infernal King, but! In the Infernal domain, your enemy is not only the Infernal King, but also the unfathomably strong Infernal Queen, the three Infernal Generals that can fight This King, as well as the entire Infernal army. By heading there alone, there is no chance of survival!"

  The giant said in a deep voice, "So what if I were to die? I'm different from you. I'm not afraid of death!"

  Leonis's expression was livid as his hideous face looked like rage was consuming him. However, Leonis eventually sighed as his expression turned soft. He asked softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? When This King hands
the throne over to you, you will be able to be the king of the Transcendents, and even the king of the world. When the time comes, you can call on the strongest army in the world to attack the Infernal domain. If you can become the king of the world and the Infernal domain, then everyone will have to admit that the race of the Transcendents is the strongest race."

  The giant was left stunned as his gigantic eyes lit up slightly, as though he was attracted by the proposal. He could not help but ask, "Then, when will you hand over the throne to me?"

  Leonis sighed and muttered, "When This King dies..."

  "Shut up!"

  The giant said angrily, "Are you kidding me?"

  Leonis lowered his head slightly, "Child, This King's days are numbered, why must you be in such a hurry?"

  "Since your days are numbered."

  The giant's voice suddenly turned cold, "Why don't you die now? My dear...father."

  ...

  Infernal domain. Infernal King's bedroom.

  "Darling, do you want to take it off yourself?"

  Such ambiguous words that made one fantasize were said by the Infernal Queen in a shy voice but with bold undertones. Furthermore, with her ample breasts and her hands behind her back, the charming pose that seemingly gave her husband free reign over her body truly boiled the blood of any men who saw her. It was a test of self-control.

  The abdomen that did not have a hint of cellulite, the slim waist that could be gripped with one hand, the fair thighs that had a pinkish glow to them, and the curvaceous bodyline as well as every inch of her skin were all breathtakingly beautiful.

  The Infernal Queen, who was wearing only a red dudou and white underpants, was truly an epitome of beauty that could make one go crazy for.

  Shi Xiaobai finally realised what was happening in front of him, as well as the strange changes the Infernal Queen had undergone after entering the bedroom.

  He was now the Infernal King, and the Infernal Queen was his wife. Getting the Infernal Queen to bring him back to the bedroom was needlessly ambiguous.
