Mi Shan wanted to stop him from continuing, because it was too high-profile.
Given Li Changyu's personality, he probably wouldn't want to be so ostentatious.
But she really didn't expect that he was the one who subdued the fire qilin.
Not only her, but everyone around who heard those words showed expressions of surprise.
Xu Ninghai whispered something to the emperor, and sure enough, a look of apprehension appeared on the emperor's face.
"My son actually possesses such abilities?"
The Fire Qilin is a demonic creature.
Flames all over,
It can also breathe fire.
Li Changyu was able to fight it alone and successfully obtain the immortal flame, which he then gave to Consort Mi Hui.
The emperor had assumed that Li Changyu had led a team to capture the fire qilin, but he hadn't expected...
Therefore, this lion is indeed nothing special.
In front of His Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
The emperor immediately lost interest in watching further. Now that he knew the answer to the mystery, he lost the desire to know more.
At the same time, a hint of darkness gradually emerged in his deep eyes.
The Crown Prince is so outstanding, he has even surpassed him.
If he were to harbor other thoughts, like the Prince of Pingxi… Li Shengyuan’s expression gradually became uneasy and turned ugly.
Qin Xianling, standing beside him, was oblivious to his change in mood and continued to praise the Crown Prince.
The emperor glared at him and said, "Shut up! Can you keep your voice down? You're disturbing my ears!"
"Your humble servant deserves to die. Your humble servant will shut up now."
"Get to the back row."
"Here you are."
Qin Xianling slunk away.
Murong Fuhai, standing to the side, revealed a barely perceptible smile and quietly took a step closer to the emperor.
“Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince is outstanding, he is still quite young and far inferior to you in your youth. Moreover, he is extremely loyal to our Great Yue and respects Your Majesty even more. His willingness to risk his life against the lion is simply an attempt to gain your approval by performing well in front of his father.”
Upon hearing this, Li Shengyuan's expression softened slightly, and a hint of tenderness gradually appeared in his eyes.
That was a father.
Expectations and compassion for children
Although he had rarely seen Li Changyu before, at this moment, watching Li Changyu's hardened figure, even his usually hardened heart softened for a moment.
Looking at this from the perspective of an elderly father, things seem to change.
"Yes, if I weren't the emperor and he weren't the crown prince, we would just be an ordinary father and son."
"This child only wants the approval of his father, the Emperor..."
After Li Shengyuan finished speaking, Empress Rouci and Li Xuanche immediately exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing an overwhelming sense of crisis.
When you don't know what to say,
"Pfft."
A foolish laugh came from beside her; it was Bai Lingyu.
She stared intently at the arena, but suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"My beloved concubine, what are you laughing at?" The emperor was captivated by her beautiful face, his eyes lit up, and he looked at her with a smile.
"Your Majesty is laughing. The lion is so amused by the Crown Prince that it's panting and lying on the ground, unable to walk. It's really funny to see them staring at each other."
Bai Lingyu said that, but that wasn't what she really thought.
She can understand what the lion is saying.
It is also known that Li Changyu possesses the ability to communicate with animals.
At this moment, the lion was on the verge of collapse from all the exertion. Its stimulants had been completely used up, and it lay exhausted on the ground, staring at Li Changyu.
He begged for mercy, "Heroes, brave men, please spare me! I am just a lone lion from the desert. Why have you captured me here and subjected me to this torture? I can't fight back, and I can't go back. What do you want to do with me?"
"Get up and continue."
"Still want to continue? Have some decency! Just give me a quick death, a single blow would be better." The lion sighed helplessly, rolled over, exposing its belly, "Or I could try to charm you, roar!"
"...You shameless lion. When you die, you'll be skinned alive and made into fur mats. They'll also dry your head and hang it on the wall as a trophy, and cut off pieces of your flesh to stew and eat."
"Aww!"
The lion roared, growing angrier with each sound, "You humans, don't even think of humiliating me! Prepare to die!"
However, it simply lacked the ability to defeat Li Changyu.
Li Changyu slapped it down again, then sat on its head, pinning its head down and immobilizing the lion.
A chorus of cheers erupted from the surrounding area.
"Kill it! Kill it!"
Xilong's expression grew increasingly grim.
Li Shengyuan removed the sword from his waist.
With a snap, it was thrown to Li Changyu.
"Make your move, Your Highness!"
Under the emperor's expectant gaze, Li Changyu reached out and caught the heavy iron sword.
He met Li Shengyuan's gaze with pride.
Startled,
This was the first time that this damned emperor had looked at him like that—the look a father gives his child.
However, Li Changyu was not moved by him.
He knew all too well that his parents were already dead, and that Li Shengyuan, that dog emperor, was utterly unworthy of the title!
He silently gripped his sword, gazing down at the lion beneath him.
Mi Shan also gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.
Will he take action?
