Chapter 951 - Departure from the Tortoise City (1/2)

Qin Haodong was slightly stunned. Then, he shook his head and said, “Your Majesty, I’m not interested in being an official, let alone a King. I think Xingyue’s ability is good. You’d better train her. I can provide enough support!”

Zhao Xianlong said, “Why? Isn’t it good to be the King? You will be on top of everything. You will have the power to control the entire Kingdom.

“Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yuenian worked hard for so many years in order to let their son succeed to the throne.”

Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, “Your Majesty, different people have different aspirations, which can’t be forced. I really don’t want to be the King.”

“Well, if you really don’t want to be the King, then forget it,” Zhao Xianlong sighed and said, “I can see that you are absolutely outstanding. If you don’t even want to be the King, what is your dream?”

Qin Haodong said, “There is only one thing I need to do. After quickly improving my cultivation, I will do a very important thing.”

“Oh!” Zhao Xingyue said, “Can you tell us what it is? My father and I can help you!”

Qin Haodong said, “I can only do this on my own. No one else can help.”

He would never tell anyone about the space gap to return to earth. After all, the human heart was sinister. Once some people with ulterior motives knew about it, it would bring a catastrophe to earth.

Zhao Xianlong said, “Do you need a long time to do this? How about you come back and succeed to the throne after you finish your work?”

Qin Haodong said, “It’s hard to say when I’ll finish the task. Even if I finish it, I’m not interested in being the King at all.”

“Very well. Since you’re unwilling, I will not force you,” Zhao Xianlong said regretfully.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Qin Haodong said, “Your Majesty, we will go back to Tortoise Academy tomorrow morning.”

Zhao Xianlong said, “Why are you in such a hurry? You can relax in Tortoise City for a while before leaving.”

Qin Haodong said, “No, we’ve been out for a long time. It’s almost the day of the competition between the North and South Academies. We have to go back as soon as possible.”

Seeing that Qin Haodong wanted to leave, Zhao Xingyue said, “Father, I also want to go back.”

“That is absolutely not possible. Right now, all I have is you, my only daughter. You must stay and learn from me how to deal with the affairs of the kingdom. Tortoise Kingdom will be handed over to you in the future.”

“But…”

Zhao Xingyue looked at Qin Haodong with great reluctance.

Zhao Xianlong firmly said, “There is no ‘but’. Even if you sneak out this time, I will go to Tortoise Academy to bring you back.”

Qin Haodong said, “Xingyue, you really cannot go back to Tortoise Academy now. You’d better stay in the palace with peace of mind. We will come and see you when we have time.”

Zhao Xingyue had no choice but to say, “Well, remember what you said!”

After dinner, it was almost late at night. Zhao Xingyue did not let Qin Haodong return to the courier station. She let him sleep in her palace.

After he washed up and was about to go to bed, the door opened. Zhao Xingyue who was wearing a black lace nightgown came in.

“Uh… Xingyue, why are you here?”

The black lace nightgown sharply contrasted with Zhao Xingyue’s fair skin. She had sexy and attractive collarbones, fair and slender thighs, and exquisite curves. It was a strong temptation to any man.

Although it was not the first time for him to see this, Qin Haodong’s mouth dried up a little and he felt hot all over.

Zhao Xingyue’s cheeks were very red. She didn’t answer Qin Haodong. She pressed Qin Haodong down on the bed and then lay down next to him. Then she hugged him tightly and her hot cheek pressed against his shoulder.

After Qin Haodong felt her warmth and softness, his whole body stiffened. He said, “Xingyue, what are you doing?”

“Big Brother Qin, you’re leaving tomorrow. Just sleep with me tonight.”

As she spoke, Zhao Xingyue closed her eyes tightly. Her cheeks were flushed and her voice was as tinny as that of a mosquito. If it weren’t for Qin Haodong’s amazing hearing, he wouldn’t have heard what she said.

He patted Zhao Xingyue on the shoulder and said, “We haven’t known each other for a long time. It’s not appropriate for us to do this!”

Zhao Xingyue suddenly raised her head and said, “Big Brother Qin, you have already won the competition and should marry me. Are you going back on your word?”

Qin Haodong said, “Xingyue, in fact, the competition is just a formality. At that time, the purpose was to deal with Wu Yuenian. We still have a long way to go in the future. Just take it slow.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Big Brother Qin, I really like you. I do not want you to go. Why don’t you stay? My father is willing to let you be the King. I want to be your Queen.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “You think it’s that easy. I really don’t want to be the King. Even if I want to be the King, your father won’t agree. It’s impossible for him to hand over Tortoise Kingdom to an outsider like me.”

Zhao Xingyue said, surprised, “But during dinner today, my father said in person that he wanted you to be the King.”

“There are still a lot of things for you to learn if you want to inherit your father’s position. Take your time to learn.”

Zhao Xingyue asked in confusion, “I don’t understand what you mean!”

“Why don’t you understand? It’s not so easy to guess the thoughts of the King!” Qin Haodong said, “If I had directly agreed at the banquet today or acted ecstatic, I’m afraid your father would have attacked me at that moment.”

Zhao Xingyue asked again, “Why? You have helped our Tortoise royal family a lot this time. Without you, we would not have been able to kill Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yuenian, let alone discover Zhao Yu’s secret.

“My father is very grateful to you. How could he possibly attack you?”
