Chapter 4: He is Not Joking!

"Now that he already agreed to marry my daughter, I would like to speak about my next purpose on coming here." Queen Meng stopped for a moment and looked at King Xian and his wife. She then added, "My husband already died two years ago. In these two years, Zhu Kingdom has no King to manage it. Therefore, I was then appointed as the temporary monarch, as both my sons died after my husband died.

However, the Second Concubines of Zhu, was against me becoming the monarch. She proclaimed that she got a son with my husband. This supposed son was actually brought by her into the kingdom from the neighbouring Ming Country. I know for sure that this son was not the son of my husband.

That is why I want my daughter to marry a capable man. This way, I can then appoint him as the new King Zhu." explained Queen Meng.

"I heard that your late husband already married your other daughters to some princes. Are they not suitable to become the new King Zhu?" asked Zhao Mei.

"Those princes are too greedy, and only care for money and women. Besides, they are just princes from some small countries. Compared to your son, he have Xian Kingdom to support him." replied Queen Meng.

"That might be true, but what if my son don't have a King qualification?"

"I'm sure he has that quality. Besides, I will be helping him to in that regards."

"Well, If you say so. This would be good too for him." said King Xian. Although he usually have an ill talk with Xian Wu, he still want him to be a King somedays in the future. He knew that Xian Wu is the type to care for other people. This can be seen when he usually get along with the commoners, and kids. The only problem is that he is not that motivated in being a King, or in any kind of authorities.

"Thank you then." said Queen Meng. She was glad that her purpose of coming here was accomplished. "We already accomplished our purpose on coming here. So, we would like to come back to Zhu Kingdom as soon as possible to have Xian Wu undergo a coronation to become the king of Zhu. Will you two allow us to bring him there?" asked the Queen.

"So soon?" King Xian was a bit disappointed.

"I cannot help it. There are conflict in the Zhu Kingdom. A rebellion might already happened there as we speak right now. So, I need to be there to prevent any rebellion from happening." explained Queen Meng.

"I see. Son what will you do now?" asked Xian Jun.

"I need sometime to think about this." replied Xian Wu.

"Is that so." Queen Meng felt a bit sad about Xian Wu's choice. "In that case, we will wait for you in Zhu Kingdom. Please come, as soon as possible." suggested the Queen.

"Mother, can I stay with him?" asked Zhu Qing worriedly.

"Sorry Zhu Qing, you need to follow me back. That way, Xian Wu will have a motivation to come to Zhu Kingdom." whispered Queen Meng to Zhu Qing. The princess felt dejected and looked down.

"Xian Wu, promise me that you will come to Zhu Kingdom, okay?" Zhu Qing.

"I..." Xian Wu looked at Zhu Qing, and then looked at Xing Meng.

"I promise. Just give me a time to think first." promised Xian Wu. Zhu Qing and the Queen smiled at his answer. Zhu Qing then hugged Xian Wu, and kissed him on his cheek.

"Well, even if you want to hurry back to your kingdom, at least rest for today here. You all can then go back tomorrow." suggested Zhao Mei.

"That is also fine. Thank you Queen Mei." replied Xing Meng.

...

The next day, the Queen and his entourage departed from Xian Royal Palace, towards Zhu Kingdom. Zhu Qing cried and hugged Xian Wu tightly before they departed. Queen Meng also asked for Xian Wu to have a personal talk, though the talk was her kissing Xian Wu.

Meanwhile, outside the East Xian Border, a green bird with small letter flew and landed on Ji Chao's right shoulder. This time, Ji Chao read the content first, before he gave the letter to the Third Prince.

"Third Prince, it looks like Queen Meng managed to pouch a prince to become a Zhu King. If that prince become a Zhu King, it would be difficult for us to take him down, for his father will surely help him. We will be facing both new King Zhu and King Xian." said Ji Chao worriedly.

"It will not necessarily be like that." said Third Prince. "Even if we are facing them, it will be the same. I will still win." added the prince confidently.

"Do you mean..." asked Ji Chao, looking at the two masked men behind them.

"These elders are both at the Emperor level cultivators. They are enough to deal with Queen Meng. As for that King Xian..." Third Prince pondered for a bit before saying, "I heard he got a conflict with the King of Qin Kingdom. Let us contact him."

The Third Prince then took out a scroll. He wrote something on the scroll. After that, he used his own messanger bird to send the scroll away.

"Now then, let's wait for the rabbits to enter our traps." said the prince with a smirk.

...

A week later, Xian Wu made up his mind. Today he prepared himself to depart to Zhu Kingdom.

"Bastard father, I'm leaving you for good." said Xian Wu to his father.

"Ungrateful son, hurry up and leave. Don't pester me anymore." retorted Xian Jun.

"Stop with your bickering." said Zhao Mei scolding both father and son.

"Xian Wu, come back and visit us sometimes okay." said Xian Sue Xian. Tears could be seen flowing down on her cheek.

"Don't worry sister. I will come back to meet you all." said Xian Wu.

"Xian Wu, the next time you come back, I will be the new Xian King." said the Second Prince, Xian Feng.

"It won't be easy. I will be the Xian King first." interupted Xian Ji Nan.

"Hah, talk when your cultivation is higher than me." retorted Xian Feng.

"You two, if you want to bicker about whose going to be the next Xian King, go somewhere else." said the Second Concubine, Zhong Xie Shue.

"Sorry Third mother." apologised Xian Feng. Xian Ji Nan also apologised to his mother.

"Brother Xian Wu, I have a bad premonition about you leaving us." said Suya.

"Yes. I also feel as if it will be the last time we will be seeing you." added Suwa.

"Hei, don't jinx it. I will be alright, okay." replied Xian Wu.

"Do you need a guard?" asked Empress Dowager, Xian Hua, who suddenly appeared at Xian Wu's back.

"I don't think any guard can keep up with me. You know that if I want to hide, even Emperor level cultivator will not able to detect me." said Xian Wu.

"Thought so. That's why your father was not aware when you peeked on him making out with your Fifth mother." nodded Xian Hua while glancing at Xian Jun and Qing Jiayi. Fourth Concubine Qing Jiayi can only look down with a red face.

"Well then. I will be going everyone." said Xian Wu. He then hugged all of his siblings and mothers.

"Take care Wu'er. Also, please stop blaming your father. I know you are still upset about your elder sister. However, that is not your father's fault." advised Zhao Mei.

"I know." nodded Xian Wu. "I just needed someone to blame. I don't mean to wrong father. It just..." Xian Wu did not finish his word.

He then walked toward his father. "Bastard father, you better take care of yourself, especially your waist. Eat healthy foods, and reduce the 'bed exercise'." advised Xian Wu.

Xian Jun was stunned when he heard Xian Wu's advise. He felt a bit touched that his son cares for his health.

"Ungrateful son, who are you trying to give advice. Just go on your own business, and take care of your own health." scolded Xian Jun.

"That good to hear." smiled Xian Wu. He then walked away. However, he stopped in the distance and said, "Otherwise, when I come back and you are long gone, I will take all the women here as my women. Hahahaha!"

After saying that, he run away as quick as he can. All of his listener was stunned when they heard him.

"Bastard! I knew it. I should have castrated him when he was a baby." said Xian Jun. However, he sighed when he saw the disappearing back of Xian Wu. "That ungrateful son, he still have the nerve to joke around even when he is leaving."

"I felt like he is not joking." said Xian Mu Yue. "He always ask me to take a bath together with him." added the Fourth Princess.

"Really?" Second Prince Xian Feng.

"Its true. I saw him groping Mu Yue's breast some times ago." said Yue Xian, making Mu Yue blush. "He...groped mine too." added Yue Xian with red face.

"What!?" Xian Feng was shocked with the revelation.

"Uh...he sometimes peeked on me and Suwa when we take a bath." admitted Suya.

"You too!?" Xian Ji nan was in disbelieve when he heard his twin sisters. "Did he...grope you too?"

"That..." Suwa blushed but still nodded.

"Oh my God! How the hell is he able to do all that?"

"Well...he has this certain attraction that hard to reject." said Xian Bing.

"Ah! You too!?" both Second and Third Prince was shocked now.

"He groped Xian Xue too." stated Xian Bing, causing Xian Xue to blush.

"That bastard! I hope he don't come back and stay in Zhu Kingdom." said Xian Feng. "Why is it not me who get to fondle you girls?"

"Ah! Second Prince is trying to harass us!" shouted Xian Mu Yue.

"Rapist!"

"Go away! You are not as handsome as brother Xian Wu."

Xian Feng felt like being stabbed by several invisible arrow. This treatment is unfair!

"What's wrong with him doing that? He is just teenage. Also, he did it only on his siblings, not other girls. Besides, he did not do something excessive." said Xian Jun.

"Actually, he liked to hug mother, second, third, fourth, and fifth mother." stated Yue Xian. "Just now, I saw him grope fifth mother when he hugged her."

"What!?" Xian Jun was in disbelief.

"Actually, he kissed me when he hugged me just now." said Second Concubine, smiling a Xian Jun.

'He sometimes kisses me' added Xian Hua in her mind.

"Slick bastard! Now, I really want to castrate him!"
