"Y… you! You kissed me?!" cried the woman.

Xie Liao Xuan just chuckled, then he hurriedly flew, then entered the direction of the grand hall. Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes saw the incident, a pair of eyes that looked with a lot of meaning.

The official banquet for the appointment of the Crown Prince has begun. Almost all the Gods of Heaven gathered together. The earthlings who are immortal for this day are specially invited to pay their respects to the future supreme king of the world.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The announcement then silenced everyone present. They stood up in unison, paying their respects to Xie Liao Xuan, who had just entered the palace altar so valiantly. His white robe seemed to move in sync with his wide footsteps. In front of him was a red carp with golden strands that was very majestic. Behind him, Li Zeng Xi and Li Qian Long seemed to bow their heads while following in the footsteps of the future king. After being in front of his parents' throne, Xie Liao Xuan stopped. Li Zeng Xi and Li Qian Long immediately sat down where they should be.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince pays homage to Your Majesty the King, and Your Majesty the Queen of the Sky Palace!"

Xie Liao Xuan saluted his parents, causing Xie Liao Xuan's parents to stand up for their beloved son to stand up immediately. After that, the crown prince's coronation procession began. Starting from Xie Liao Xuan taking the oath to hold the mandate as Crown Prince and responsible for his title and offering his holy blood to a crystal ball, which proved that Xie Liao Xuan was a truly worthy person. Because if the sky doesn't give its blessing, even if anyone's blood is dripped, then the great crystal ball will never emit its light.

The crystal ball instantly lit up, and an extremely dense yellow light radiated throughout the sky. Pheonix birds immediately appeared, flying right above the grand hall, and a giant golden dragon appeared majestically there.

Xie Liao Xuan looked in pain. His left chest glowed. A birthmark in the form of a dragon that also emits a very natural light makes all the guests there squealed in amazement.

This is the second time, precisely after the first heavenly king, if there is a successor to the throne of the heavenly kingdom who has been destined by heaven and the great one to be the next successor. Because, having such a dragon's crest after the departure of the first king, it was almost non-existent.

"Sincerely Your Highness the Crown Prince! Sincerely Your Majesty the King!" everyone exclaimed, immediately paying their respects to Xie Liao Xuan without exception, even his parents as well.

After the majestic crystal ball closed and the light disappeared, Xie Liao Xuan was no longer in pain. The oversized red robe with a dragon-shaped decoration embroidered with the gold thread also seemed to add to the majesty of the one wearing it. A crown was placed very carefully on his head. Then, Xie Liao Xuan turned around and looked at all the guests there.

All the guests seemed to be clapping with joy, a new future King was chosen by the heavens, and heaven is now back. Xie Liao Xuan then sat on his throne, causing the two pairs of eyes to look at him with a look of extreme hatred.

"I will never accept all of this, never," growled Xie Ming Zhen. The mother who knew immediately gripped the back of her son's hand tightly, as if she was trying to calm the anger that burned her son's chest.

"Hey, Miss! What are you doing here?!"

Angier stopped in her tracks, her body stiffening as the palace soldiers caught her off guard. She really couldn't move. She knew more than anyone how the heavenly warriors with their majestic strength were. If the soldiers found out that she wasn't a Goddess, she would be plunged into a pit of suffering and brought back down to earth.

"I… I—"

"What is it?" asked a middle-aged God to the royal guards.

Anqier's eyes widened, she immediately lowered her face deeply with both hands shaking violently. She should have followed her mother's words if she had to stay in the house and go nowhere. However, the Crown Prince's coronation banquet made Angier curious. She wanted to see, even if it was just a glimpse.

"We don't know where the Goddess is from, God. However, she sneaked up here," replied one of the guards who were there.

The God then walked around Angier with a probing gaze, and then his steps stopped right in front of Angier.

"You guys, go. Let me talk to this little Goddess..." he said. The guards immediately returned to where they had been standing guard—making Angier swallow her saliva with difficulty. "Your smell is indeed the smell of a goddess…," said the old God. His gaze that had been sharp now seemed to soften. "But that half of you, I know him very well. Whose essence is in your body until you can't smell your human scent," he continued.

Angier immediately widened her eyes, and she was scared to even to the point of not knowing what to do now. Then, she immediately knelt in front of God, kneeling as deep as possible so that God would not punish her severely because it was presumptuous to enter the royal hall.

"Sorry-"

"You don't have to act like this, only I know. If half the essence of the Crown Prince is in you. And I'm not going to tell anyone," he said.

Angier immediately stood up, and she then clasped the hands of the Gods with great pleasure.

"Thank you, God. You have saved me. Because honestly, living here is not what I want either. Mother has forced me to live with her, so I can't help but be here now," Angier explained at length, which managed to make Lord Li Qian Long laugh.

Anqier's eyes then looked into the hall, and there she saw the figure that had been bothering her earlier sitting majestically on her throne. Now that her eyes weren't even blinking, she'd never thought that this annoying guy would fit so well and look great up there. Angier subconsciously smiled, making God Li Qian Long see the direction he was looking at as well.

However, the expression displayed by Lord Li Qian Long was different because his gaze was not as happy as Anqier's, but a sign that destruction was in front of his eyes.

"Even the wild fish that will be in the river know enough to keep swimming according to the current. They will never cross the line, nor attempt to rise to the top because they want to feel the thing called height," after saying that, Lord Li Qian Long immediately left, leaving Angier speechless for a moment. Honestly, she didn't understand what God was saying. But she felt as if the words of God was a warning to her.
