838 Rejection
Lin Feng looked at Mu Qing in front of him. He had to admit that Mu Qing was peerless and beautiful. Even Lin Feng, who had seen only too many people with attractive appearances, had to admit that Mu Qing was very beautiful, the kind of soul-stirring beauty.
Especially when paired with Mu Qing’s noble and dignified temperament, her beauty was even more unique.
However, what Lin Feng really valued was not Mu Qing’s beauty, or even her strength as an advanced Chaotic lifeform, but her boldness!
“Your Majesty, you’re a dignified advanced Chaotic lifeform. Why do you have to create the Black Moon Kingdom? It’s tiring and thankless.” Lin Feng suddenly asked.
Actually, on the way to the Black Moon Kingdom, Lin Feng already knew the situation of the Black Moon Kingdom. The Black Moon Kingdom was founded, established, and supported by Mu Qing single-handedly.
Even though its reputation was at its apex in the present, and it appeared prosperous, in reality, it was at the cliff edge. A moment of carelessness might lead to its complete destruction.
If she had founded the Black Moon Kingdom to collect all kinds of resources and improve her strength, Lin Feng would not be too surprised. However, from what Lin Feng knew, Mu Qing was already an advanced Chaotic lifeform when she founded the Black Moon Kingdom. Moreover, she had worked hard for centuries to develop the Black Moon Kingdom to its current state.
Not only did the Black Moon Kingdom not give Mu Qing any help, they even dragged her down. Why did she have to go through so much trouble?
With Mu Qing’s cultivation level and strength as an advanced Chaotic lifeform, she could have lived a better life anywhere.
Mu Qing pondered for a while, her beautiful eyes gazing at Lin Feng for a long time. In the end, she let out a long sigh and said, “Back then, Perfected Person Lin was willing to give me the heart of the Chaotic dire beast, and did not hold it over me. This shows that Perfected Person Lin is a sincere cultivator and only seeks to have a clear conscience. In that case, I’ll tell you the truth.
“I did not establish this Black Moon Kingdom on a whim. It is the ultimate goal of my entire life of cultivation. Once, I was just an ordinary little girl. My parents were still alive and well, and my childhood was very blissful. Unfortunately, just the aftershocks from a great battle between two Chaotic Perfected Persons destroyed the small city I lived in. My parents died, my siblings died, and everyone close to me died. I alone survived.
“Was it the fault of those Chaotic Perfected Persons? Actually, they were not at fault. Was it the fault of ordinary people like us? In fact, we are even more innocent. Both sides are not in the wrong. What’s wrong is the environment of the Incendium Continent. Cultivators are high and mighty, with control over everything. On the other hand, ordinary people are like tiny ants. They live precariously every day, and their happy lives might even be instantly destroyed by the consequences of battles between those powerful cultivators.
“Thus, I vowed that I would establish a kingdom where ordinary people could protect themselves. Hence, the Black Moon Kingdom came to be. Here, cultivators cannot casually kill others, and even Chaotic Perfected Persons cannot casually attack others. On the other hand, ordinary people hold Chaotic Perfected Persons in high esteem. Ordinary people can cultivate any cultivation technique, martial arts, or spells, and they can also become very strong!
“This is my life’s goal, and even the ultimate purpose of my cultivation. If I don’t accomplish it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to advance my level of cultivation for the rest of my life.”
Lin Feng had been looking at Mu Qing the entire time. The determination in her eyes was genuine. It turned out that Mu Qing had such a tragic background.
It was probably thanks to this ultimate goal that she was able to advance from an ordinary person to an advanced Chaotic lifeform through cultivation. Now that Mu Qing had the ability, she naturally wanted to fulfill her original goal.
“Your Majesty, do you know how many people’s interests will be affected by this? Moreover, it would practically overturn the landscape of the entire Incendium Continent. Can you… succeed?”
Mu Qing fell silent. After a long time, she suddenly smiled.
“Perfected Person Lin, some things that are very difficult, and do not even have much hope of success, but someone has to do them. Even if I don’t succeed, at least I’ve done something. Perhaps in the future, someone will be able to continue down my path. One day, someone will definitely succeed!”
Mu Qing’s purpose was on the Incendium Continent. She wanted to overturn the landscape of the entire Incendium Continent.
Was it difficult?
Naturally very much so. In fact, it was incredibly difficult. Putting everything else aside, when the Black Moon Kingdom became powerful to a certain extent, and touched the interests of those peak Chaotic lifeforms, would those peak Chaotic lifeforms sit idly by?
What about the legendary Perfected Lord Incendium himself?
It was said that Perfected Lord Incendium was missing, but he was only missing, not dead. Once Perfected Lord Incendium returned, what would happen to the Black Moon Kingdom?
Mu Qing must have thought about this problem, but she still did it, and she did it very thoroughly. This was her path. It was like those fiend celestials, who would do anything to become powerful, and were willing to fall and become fiend celestials.
But that was also their path, the path they had chosen.
“I understand!”
Lin Feng nodded. He did understand. However, his path was different from Mu Qing’s path, no matter what. He was a passerby of the Incendium Continent to begin with, so he naturally would not think about overturning the landscape of the Incendium Continent.
Moreover, how could the Incendium Continent be the only Chaotic continent in the vast Chaos?
“Perfected Person Lin, on behalf of the Black Moon Kingdom, I sincerely invite you to become the Protector of the Kingdom.”
“Protector of the Kingdom?”
Lin Feng shook his head. He knew that Mu Qing was trying to befriend him. However, their paths were different. He actually did not quite agree with Mu Qing’s philosophy.
“Once you become the Protector of the Kingdom, you can use all the cultivation resources in the Black Moon Kingdom. You can read any cultivation techniques or Chaotic martial arts, and even obtain Chaotic treasures.”
“I won’t stay here for long before leaving. Please find someone else to be the Protector of the Kingdom, Your Majesty.”
Lin Feng rejected it directly.
What good cultivation techniques could the Black Moon Kingdom have? As for Chaotic martial arts and Chaotic spells, Lin Feng had already mastered dozens of them. Why would he care about the various martial arts and spells of the Black Moon Kingdom?
Lin Feng would not possibly be pulled in by Mu Qing and be tied to the Black Moon Kingdom just because he had met her once. Lin Feng’s philosophy was to reach the peak, the peak of the entire Chaos. Then, he would have to travel continuously. Lin Feng would not stay for long on the Incendium Continent, let alone the Black Moon Kingdom.
“What a pity…”
A hint of disappointment appeared on Mu Qing’s face. Lin Feng’s rejection was actually within her expectations. After all, what could the Black Moon Kingdom offer to attract an expert like Lin Feng?
If there were, powerful advanced Chaotic lifeforms, or even peak Chaotic lifeforms, would have long joined the Black Moon Kingdom.
“Perfected Person Lin, although you have not become the Protector of the Kingdom to the Black Moon Kingdom, the archives in the imperial palace will still be open to you. This is the rule of the Black Moon Kingdom. Therefore, you can go to the archives at any time to read through the ancient texts.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Lin Feng nodded. Since this was the rule of the Black Moon Kingdom, and all Chaotic Perfected Persons had this authority, he would not refuse.
“Perfected Person, if you need anything, just tell the maidservant.”
Then, Mu Qing bade farewell and left. She could not hide the disappointment on her face.
Watching Mu Qing leave, Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then instructed the maidservant, “Take me to the archives of the palace.”
“Yes, Perfected Person, please follow me!”
The maidservant’s attitude was respectful, and she immediately led Lin Feng out of the residence.
…
“Your Majesty, in three days, the most dangerous moment for the Black Moon Kingdom will arrive. If only this Perfected Person Lin would agree to it.”
Beside the queen, a female official sighed, appearing regretful.
“We can’t put our hopes on others. If they dare to come in three days, the worst that can happen is war! Since its founding, the Black Moon Kingdom has stood until now. Why would we be afraid of trouble?”
The queen’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. There was no fear or worry in her expression at all.
