My Sexy Female CEO

Chapter 1993 - 452: Clash of Titans

"Prince, step aside!"

"No! I cannot let Father make such a grave mistake!" Princess Fire Lotus refused to step aside, her demeanor resolute.

"Do you want to see me die from anger?" The Fire King asked furiously.

"I can resolve this, as long as I plead with him." Princess Fire Lotus responded.

"I will not allow the Princess of a dignified kingdom to plead in low tones to a mere rogue."

This concerns the dignity of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, and more importantly, his own dignity, so he must not agree.

"Father, don't you understand yet? You cannot kill him!" Princess Fire Lotus stated candidly, hiding nothing anymore.

During the days spent with Lin Yifan, she had seen many of his skills; no matter how dangerous the situation, he always had a way to escape, not easily killed nor defeated.

"He's just a youngster in the First Realm, why can't I kill him?" The Fire King asked angrily, more furious than ever.

Because Lian'er was insulting his capability, committing a grave offense against the ruler.

"He has many trump cards, once deployed, everyone here would be annihilated, disappearing without a trace."

Princess Fire Lotus replied with a hint of intimidation, indeed apprehensive, for she truly did not know what powerful undisclosed weapons Lin Yifan possessed.

"What?"

The court officials were startled, then turned their gaze toward the scroll tightly held in Lin Yifan's hand.

This scroll was just revealed now, with intentions of unveiling it.

At this moment, taking out such an item, it either defends against the Fire King's attack or kills him. Anything else is merely posturing, resisting in desperation.

They more likely thought the former two reasons were plausible, considering this person had formidable backing and was of high-status Cultivation world; it's not unfounded.

The Fire King also noticed the scroll held by Lin Yifan.

Truth be told, the material of this scroll was the most exquisite he had ever seen. On the surface it appeared unassuming and old, yet its value and status ought not to be underestimated.

If it were a weapon, its contained power was even less to be underestimated.

The youngster's hands were already on the scroll's core, with a strong intention to unfold it. He thought, it might truly confront him, or reach a mutual fatal end.

Yet, perhaps it was just posturing?

"What trump card could a youngster possibly have?"

"Father, remember my trip to the Desert Deep Cave? Then I was caught by a Yin Spirit Master of Mysterious Immortal Realm, no less powerful than you; it was he who held this scroll, killed the Yin Spirit Master, and saved me; do you still dare to underestimate this scroll's destructive power?" Princess Fire Lotus responded.

This matter, the Fire King had heard Lian'er mention.

Truth be told, he was grateful to Lin Yifan for being magnanimous, not holding grudges, saving Lian'er.

Moreover, in the Red Lotus Secret Realm, this young man also saved Lian'er many times.

He was not ungrateful, hence he would choose to forgive the improprieties.

Yet life could be spared, but one matter was difficult to compromise: "He can leave, but he must leave the Winged Fire Pearl."

"The Winged Fire Pearl is mine, don't even think about touching it."

Lin Yifan replied firmly, with no room for negotiation.

Because he knew, if he chose to compromise, the Fire King would surely think he lacked the capability to confront him to a mutual death, eventually risking himself.

"Do you truly think I dare not kill you?"

The Fire King's suppressed wrath soared again, this time towering three meters above his head.

"Just try it, then!" Lin Yifan taunted, undaunted.

"Damn it..."

The more the Fire King thought about it, the angrier he became, having already raised his hand.

Seeing this, Princess Fire Lotus immediately lunged towards her father to obstruct him: "Father, please stop! Consider this a plea from me. I've never asked you for anything; just let him go this one time."

Lian'er pleaded tearfully, anxiety reaching the extreme, touching the softest part of his heart.

The Fire King restrained his anger again, responding: "Fine! I'll spare you for Lian'er's sake! Leave my Heavenly Fire Kingdom immediately, and never set foot here again."

"You beg me, but I didn't even want to come."

Leaving such words behind, Lin Yifan strode out of the Golden Luang Hall of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom.

Watching Lin Yifan's furious departing back, Princess Fire Lotus felt that she might never be able to follow beside Lin Yifan like before.

Outside the door, Lei Ming had heard everyone's conversation clearly.

Truth be told, the tense atmosphere in that great hall terrified him.

There were several times he wanted to rush in, pleading with the Fire King using the identity of a Prince of the Kingdom of Leizhen.

But while stopped by others, he heard Princess Fire Lotus defending him, thus calming down.

The indomitable spirit and imposing defiance of Big Brother Lin deeply moved him.

This is the demeanor a strong person should possess, never succumbing to baseless accusations, worthy of learning deeply.

Upon exiting the Golden Luang Hall, Lin Yifan took Lei Ming with him, leaving the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, vanishing into the horizon.

This matter seemed settled, but actually planted a hidden danger.

The capability of the youngster had been investigated, especially by the Fire King.

This person's aptitude was not weaker than Lian'er, and just now, hearing Lian'er say, in the same Realm, the youngster's strength was no less terrifying.

Lian'er could fight across three realms, believed the youngster could too; given a few more years, surpassing him would be effortless.

When that time comes, returning, he could only hope Lian'er would help him.

Of course, he wouldn't say this in front of the court officials; it would be too undignified and devoid of sovereign demeanor.

Things escalated to such an extent, there was no intention to continue the court session, thus the Fire King announced its end, retreating to the royal quarters to rest.

What happened today in the Golden Luang Hall was explosive news, rapidly spreading among the populace, as for how many versions might evolve, it was hard to predict.

As the court dispersed, officials were in heated discussion, clearly struggling to believe the youngster's identity and strength, and furthermore not understanding why the Princess did not seek the Winged Fire Pearl.

That was something on Heavenly Fire Kingdom's land, logically belonging to them.

No matter what, this Heavenly Fire Kingdom is eventually to be handed to Princess Fire Lotus; she can do as she pleases, as long as she doesn't betray the nation's fundamental interests.

On the other side, the Fire King, after departing from court, brought Princess Fire Lotus to the Heart-nurturing Hall, easing internal concerns.

"Prince, letting the tiger return to the mountain, when it returns one day, what will I do?"

"Father, rest assured; if he dares to touch a single hair of yours, I'll fight him to the death." Princess Fire Lotus replied.

"What if he forces me to kneel?" Asked the Fire King.

"That won't work either, unless he beats me to the ground." Princess Fire Lotus answered.

"With such assurance, I can be at ease."
