Chapter 478: Chapter 477: You Couldn’t Possibly Have Come Without a Gift, Could You? (Second Update)

The tens of thousands of guests within the Imperial Palace Hall were all stunned on the spot.

Refreshing!

It’s really too refreshing.

Referring to the Emperor and Empress as father-in-law and mother-in-law, the crowd was encountering this for the first time!

Moreover, judging by the looks of Nangong Zheng and Xiahou Qiongyin, they seemed to be quite pleased!

Seeing that Lin Fan was unharmed.

"Hehe!"

Nangong Li made a face at Lin Fan, sticking out her little tongue, then helped Nangong Zheng up to the Dragon Throne and sat down.

Although Nangong Li’s actions towards Lin Fan were very secretive.

But.

Among the tens of thousands of cultivators present, there wasn’t one below the Nascent Soul, so how could Nangong Li’s subtle gestures escape the crowd’s eyes?

Jealousy!

Intense jealousy!

All the young men’s eyes spewed with envious rage, wishing they could tear Lin Fan into pieces and devour him alive on the spot.

"Hmph! Kid, if I don’t kill you today, then my name isn’t Li Yanting!" Li Yanting was so furious that he nearly spat blood.

Everyone knew that there was a marriage engagement between him, Li Yanting, and Nangong Li.

Although.

It was just a verbal agreement and no official edict had been issued, but after all, it was the word of the Emperor of the Dayan Dynasty, a promise of gold, how could it be reneged!

Nangong Li, she could only be his woman!

"Your Majesty!"

With a loud shout, Li Yanting pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.

"Oh, it’s the Third Prince, what brings you here?" Nangong Zheng looked indifferently at Li Yanting, his attitude somewhat cold.

The hearts of the crowd grew cold, could it be that Nangong Zheng took a fancy to Lin Fan?

"Your Majesty! The Emperor of the Nine Immortals Dynasty knew that it was Your Majesty’s grand celebration, so he specially prepared a congratulatory gift! One million top-grade spirit stones, three ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, one top-grade holy artifact, three middle-grade holy artifacts, ten low-grade holy artifacts! Thirty Heavenly Level cultivation techniques, ten Divine Level cultivation techniques, and one Semi-Saint Level cultivation technique! Specially presented to the Emperor Your Majesty for his great birthday celebration!" Li Yanting shouted loudly.

As the sound of his voice fell.

Thud thud thud!

Another large group of people, all stepping forward one after another, as if afraid of falling behind Li Yanting.

"The Southern King offers thirty million top-grade spirit stones, two eighty-thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, one middle-grade holy artifact! Three low-grade holy artifacts, thirty million ordinary spirit stones! One billion taels of silver, fifty million taels of gold!"

"The Northern King offers five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, ten fifty-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, one middle-grade holy artifact! Two billion ordinary spirit stones, three billion taels of silver, one billion taels of gold!"

"The Eastern King presents one hundred East Sea Dragon Pearls, one hundred Seventh Rank Sea Demon Cores, ten Eighth Rank Sea Demon Cores, and one Ninth Rank Sea Demon Core!"

"The West Heavenly King offers two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, one ninety-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, one middle-grade holy artifact, one low-grade holy artifact, twenty million ordinary spirit stones..."

"Beiling Academy presents three steps of Semi-Saint Level cultivation technique, ten steps of Divine Level cultivation technique! The Academy’s Dean guarantees that Your Majesty can assign any Prince to study in Beiling Academy, and the Dean will personally take him as a Disciple!"

"The Desolate Island sends five million ordinary spirit stones, one million taels of gold, one hundred two-thousand-year-old spiritual medicines..."

"The God Slaying Sect sends one seventy-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine..."

"Silver Wing Island sends ten Heavenly Level cultivation techniques, one Divine Level cultivation technique..."

"The Fire Sect sends..."

"..."

The guests present at the event all spoke up one after another, reciting their own list of gifts.

For half an hour.

These sects and forces finally clearly stated their gifts.

Until the end, various voices still echoed within the Imperial Palace Hall, lingering and not dispersing.

Among them, the gifts from the Third Prince of the Nine Immortals Dynasty, Li Yanting, were the most generous.

The other people’s gifts varied according to the size of their powers, with different grades and quantities.

But still.

They were still astonishingly luxurious!

Some thoughtful people secretly tallied up that just today, the Emperor of the Dayan Dynasty had received enough gifts to immediately establish an immortal sect, with at least ten thousand years of inheritance from the start.

"Excellent! Wonderful!"

Nangong Zheng was very happy, his aged face beaming with a rosy smile as he said, "Thank you all for your kindness, I accept it. After my grand birthday ceremony ends, I will have the Internal Affairs Office return the gesture one by one! Please do not leave the Capital too soon, you must stay and enjoy the festivities!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

The crowd bowed their hands to each other, showing great respect.

"Hold on!"

Suddenly, a loud voice came through, echoing throughout the entire hall.

Swish!

Everyone’s gaze swiftly turned in that direction!

"Third Prince, do you have a question?" Nangong Zheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Your Majesty! Someone else’s gift has not yet been presented!" Li Yanting said with a faint smile.

"Oh? Who might that be?" Nangong Zheng asked curiously.

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Yanting slowly walked towards Lin Fan.

Eventually.

He stopped ten meters away from Lin Fan, extended his hand to point at Lin Fan and smiled, "Of course, it’s this Lin Fan. Even Princess Li’er herself has acknowledged him as her Prince Consort, making me—the Prince appointed by Your Majesty with a marriage arrangement with the Princess—feel quite embarrassed!"

"I believe Brother Lin Fan must have a tremendous gift to present to Your Majesty today, right?"

"However, Brother Lin Fan, I’m somewhat puzzled, why didn’t you bring forth your gift just now? It would have been nice for everyone to see it!" Li Yanting looked at Lin Fan with a smiling face.

At this moment.

All eyes were now on Lin Fan’s face.

"The Third Prince is correct!"

"Everyone presented their gifts just now, where is yours, Lin Fan?"

"Hey! He is merely a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, what kind of gift can he have? Let’s not ask and give him some face!"

"Hahaha! Right, what sort of proper gift could a Nascent Soul Cultivator possibly have?"

"..."

Many of the younger attendees burst into mocking laughter.

Clearly, Lin Fan’s prior actions had made him a target for all!

"Third Prince, your kindness and generosity are well known; let’s just let it be!" someone said with a sarcastic tone.

Li Yanting smiled slightly, his eyes filled with profound meaning as he looked at Lin Fan and mockingly said, "Brother Lin Fan, you couldn’t possibly be, without a gift, could you?"

"Who says Lin Fan didn’t give a gift? Lin Fan has already provided a hundred-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng to my father, the Emperor!" Nangong Li suddenly stood up, staring angrily at Li Yanting.

"Hehe! Your Highness the Princess, we would naturally believe it if Lin Fan had presented the gift in person, but you say Lin Fan has given a hundred-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng to His Majesty, yet we haven’t seen it! Are we expected to believe it just on your word? At the least, let Lin Fan himself step forward and prove it!" Li Yanting said with a smiling face.

The sneer at the corner of his mouth grew more evident.

At the same time.

Jealousy welled up even more in his heart.

Princess Nangong Li was betrothed to him, yet she had repeatedly spoken up for Lin Fan, driving Li Yanting nearly to the point of jealousy!

"To take a step back, even if Lin Fan is the Prince Consort chosen by Princess Li’er, surely he wouldn’t fail to produce a decent gift, right? Emperor Your Majesty, surely the Dayan Dynasty hasn’t lost the ability to judge people? Can a penniless wretch without even a proper gift become the Prince Consort of the Dayan Dynasty?" Li Yanting’s gaze shifted and fell on Nangong Zheng’s face.

"Indeed!"

"If Lin Fan can’t produce a gift, it would be a huge loss of face for the Dayan Dynasty!"

"Shush! Stop talking about it. If the Emperor gets angry, you will bear the consequences!"

"That’s just it! If we don’t speak now, who can guarantee the news won’t leak once we leave the palace gates?"

"That’s true; now let’s see what this Lin Fan can come up with!"

"Hehe, what good thing do you think he, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, could possibly bring out?" Many people laughed gleefully.

Listening to everyone’s discussion.

Nangong Zheng’s face once again turned somewhat unsightly and felt hot with embarrassment.

Lin Fan was the Prince Consort personally acknowledged by Li’er!

If, in front of everyone, this Prince Consort couldn’t produce a proper gift, it wouldn’t be just Lin Fan losing face, but the entire Dayan Dynasty!

With this move, Li Yanting not only struck at his rival Lin Fan but also did not spare the Dayan Dynasty!

Now, it all depended on whether Lin Fan had a gift to present or not!

In his heart, Nangong Zheng didn’t hold out much hope.

He only wished that the gift Lin Fan brought wasn’t too shabby and that it would be sufficient to save face for the Dayan Dynasty!

"Lin Fan, do you have a gift?" Xiahou Qiongyin asked with a smile.
