Chapter 1145: Swindling A Tidy Sum Out of You (1)
Ji Fengyan’s problem was just as the Emperor described. She had not only betrayed the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon but also flouted the rules set by the Divine Temple.
The various nations groomed terminators under the guidance of the Divine Temple. The Terminators in the various kingdoms were also under the management of the Grand Tutors from the Divine Temple. They would kill any Terminator displaying any signs of desertion.
As the nations accorded Terminators with lofty status and exceptional living standards, apart from having to lead armies into battles, it could be said that Terminators lived comfortable and carefree lives, and few would ever think of desertion.
Nevertheless, a number of Terminators had wondered about their extraordinarily short lifespans. However, just as they began discovering something strange going on, they would subsequently die of some kind of accident or another. The various nations would always have some watertight reason for their deaths, so that even up till now, no one had fully realized the Terminators’ dilemma. In fact, many people envied the Terminators’ status and authority.
Ji Fengyan’s current self was a Terminator. Although she was at odds with the Emperor, the Divine Temple would be most unhappy with the fact that Ji Fengyan had never activated the World-Termination-Armour. In addition, her establishment of a new kingdom was a first for a Terminator.
To prevent such things from happening again, the Divine Temple would definitely kill her if they discovered her existence.
To escalate the battle between humans and demons, the Heavenly Fiend Clan would need full control over the activation of Terminators, and would allow no Terminator to leave their grasp.
Ji Fengyan had gone to the Kingdom of Sa Er to gather the demon god’s bones. Never did she expect to meet the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, who sought aid.
If they allowed the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon to meet with Grand Tutor Xing Hun, Ji Fengyan and Hua Xia would probably be in deep trouble.
Although Ji Fengyan had absolute confidence in her current abilities, the Kingdom of Hua Xia was still not strong enough, so…
Ji Fengyan grinned at the complaining Emperor, as a murderous glint flashed across her eyes.
Since he had delivered himself to her, how could she
refuse
?
She instinctively looked towards Long Xi, who was deep in thought.

Crown prince, since the Emperor is so sincere and has met with such troubles, why don’t we help? I believe Grand Tutor should be more than willing to get rid of a Terminator who defected?

Long Xi stared incredulously at Ji Fengyan.
Although the Emperor didn’t know who that young girl standing beside Long Xi was, he could tell that Long Xi held her in high regard. Taking advantage of the fact that she was speaking up in support of him, he quickly continued.
That’s right. If the crown prince is willing to help me, the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon will definitely send a most generous tribute when you ascend the throne.

Before Long Xi could respond, Ji Fengyan suddenly said to the Emperor,
Your Majesty, our crown prince has always been benevolent and upstanding, so I think he will help you. But… your talk of a tribute is too far off into the future. You need to show some genuine sincerity.

The Emperor was slightly taken aback.
This… I am not sure what do you mean by this genuine sincerity?

Ji Fengyan smiled.
I heard that the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon has a few outlying territories rich in mineral resources, I wonder…
