A Will Eternal – Chapter 1069

Chapter 1069: The Spoils

The night passed peacefully. Soon dawn approached, and Heavenly Marquis Liu remained outside the land that Bai Xiaochun blessed, motionless and not even blinking. Despite the exhaustion, he also could not contain his excitement.

When the sky cleared, Bai Xiaochun walked out of his blessed land, causing Heavenly Marquis Liu to move with excitement. However, he quickly realized that there was something strange about Bai Xiaochun.

"Huh?" he muttered to himself.

Bai Xiaochun looked in very high spirits compared to the normal ones. He did not go to the edge of the lotus leaf like he had in the past, but instead, hummed a slight tone as he headed towards the imperial palace.

"Something's wrong!" Heavenly Marquis Liu thought as he began to follow silently. Bai Xiaochun walked happily to the imperial palace, where the lotus banquet was taking place. Although not every government official went to the banquet every day, the banquet was still lively and pleasant.

As usual, cynical and insulting comments could be heard when Bai Xiaochun came, but he ignored him as usual. Laughing out loud, he sat down to enjoy the delicious alcohol and the beautiful eternal fruits.

Saint-Emperor does not attend every banquet. But through his archaean powers, he would always make sure that the lotus seeds were distributed.

Bai Xiaochun was in a beautiful mood. Heavenly Marquisly Liu shadowed him all day, convinced that something suspicious was going on. However, he could not determine what exactly it was, and finally, had to settle down again outside the land that Bai Xiaochun had blessed to keep watch all night.

"It's just a charade!" he thinks. "He did all this just to get people used to seeing him !!"

Five more days passed, and the same thing happened every time. It was nearing the end of the lotus banquet period, and Bai Xiaochun was enjoying himself to the fullest. During the day, he would go to the imperial palace, and at night, the little turtle would get a lotus seed to share with the two of them.

Although the seeds are all quite small, they are many …. In the short few days that had passed, Bai Xiaochun had already obtained over a thousand of them.

The sheer amount involved exceeded how weak they were, and pushed Bai Xiaochun's cultivation base all the way to the great circle of the Demigod Realm.

However, he made sure to keep his breakthrough aura suppressed. Now, he was one step closer to becoming a celestial. In fact, he was convinced that it might only take a few years to form his Daoseed and achieve his breakthrough.

Bai Xiaochun was aware that the little turtle benefited more than he had, although he was not sure how much. The face of the turtle was glowing, and its shell looked even smoother and shinier than before. Given how dangerous the little turtle was, Bai Xiaochun could only speculate that, if he had handed over a thousand seeds, he would most likely have eaten thousands himself.

The more he thought about that fact, the more worried he became. It was not that he felt bad for Saint-Emperor, but rather that their lotus-stealing activities might be discovered….

“Be careful there, and don't eat too much. Stop when you are ahead! " Little turtles always agree to obey repeated advice.

Bai Xiaochun did not feel better about this situation, but ..it was too late to return now. The worst happened when, a few days before the lotus banquet ended, the little turtle did not return.

Bai Xiaochun was instantly on guard.

"Don't tell me he got caught?" Given what Bai Xiaochun knew about the little turtle, he had no confidence that he could keep a secret. To his surprise, Saint-Emperor never came knocking. A few days later, the banquet ended, and the turtles still did not return. Bai Xiaochun was extremely nervous at this moment.

Ironically, there was one person who was even more nervous than Bai Xiaochun, and that was Heavenly Marquis Liu, who was still standing guard outside of his blessed land.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on here? Why was Bai Xiaochun so calm and quiet? My intuition was not wrong! He must have a secret master plan !! ”

As the two of them sat there anxiously, the final formality to end the banquet occurred.

Bells rang from the imperial palace, pulling all the officials to the final meeting in the palace hall. It would be the last lotus seed distribution by Saint-Emperor, and would also involve a ceremonial expression of gratitude by the citizens.

Finally, Saint-Emperor came out and took his place in front of everyone. After looking around for a while, he smiled warmly.

“My dear subject, I have distributed 800 lotus seeds. Now, we will give all the cultivators under the heavens a chance to obtain one of the final 200, by distributing it to the open market.

"It is my hope that our Saint-Emperor Dynasty will become like a lotus seed that slowly grows into an adult, beautiful lotus that is there for good!"

In response, the assembled officials all held hands formally and joined their voices to respond.

"May the Saint-Emperor Dynasty exist for good!"

Despite how nervous he was, Bai Xiaochun joined them.

The Smile of Saint Emperor grew even warmer when he heard the voices of the host of the officials. Then he waved his hand, unleashing the power of his archaean cultivation base. Instantly, a holy aura swept out, causing a huge hand to appear high above. The water in the heaven pond rippled, and many lotus fruits floated to the surface.

The hand came down, sweeping the pond to harvest the lotus seeds. However, this time ... When the hand swept the pod, no seeds came out !!

The pod opens to reveal .. empty holes where the seed should be !!

The big hand suddenly stopped moving.

"…….." Saint-Emperor was stunned, as were all court officials. Eyes widened, and many streams of divine senses suddenly appeared to examine the situation.

Chen Su, Gu Tianjun, and the heavenly scientists were all flabbergasted.

Bai Xiaochun's heart had already skipped a beat as he sent his divine sense out. When he saw all the many empty seeds, he immediately put on a shocked expression to his face.

The expression of Saint Emperor slowly sank into something very gloomy. Waving his hands again, he caused more seed pods to rise to the surface and open.

Again, there were hardly any seeds to be seen, only empty holes …. The court officials all flinched, and a moment later, it turned into a riot.

"This ... this …."

"Where are the lotus seeds?"

"How could this happen. Why are there no lotus seeds?!?! ” Suddenly, Bai Xiaochun's voice sounded extremely loud and exaggerated.

"Paradise! How did this happen!? Don't tell me that heavenly dragonfly fish ate it all!?!?!? ”

Amidst the cacophony of shocked exclamations, Saint-Emperor's expression turned even gloomier. Then, he performed a spell motion and waved his finger at the heaven pond, sending a shocking stream of divine sense into the water. The sky became dim, and a huge wind blew as the water boiled and all the lotus pods in its depths rose to the surface!

Whether they are adults or not, it doesn't matter. Everything rose and then opened, totalling over 10,000. When the crowd saw the results, they were stunned.

Everyone was shaken to the core when they saw .. that every single seed pod, without exception, was almost completely empty!

If that's all there is, it's probably not a big deal. But Saint-Emperor, the three gods, all gods, and even the devas saw .. that in one of the lotus pods was a small turtle, chewing a lotus seed the size of a fist.

When Bai Xiaochun saw the little turtle, his eyes widened, and his heart started pounding. He thought the little turtle had secretly eaten several thousand seeds. He could never have imagined that he would eat this much.

"Damn it! What kind of turtle is that !? How dare he secretly eat the immortal lotus seeds of Saint-Emperor Dynasty !! ”

“See how many pods are empty! He must have eaten tens of thousands of seeds! ”

"Damn it, I'll turn it into turtle soup !!"
