Chapter 823: 394: The Rock Queen, forcibly wedded to Suo Lun!_3

Following that, Zhen Yan Princess took out another small bottle, which contained the antidote she had obtained from Hai Gang.

"I’ll make a trip." Queen Yan Chuo cradled Suo Lun in her arms and mounted the Griffin Beast, then flew towards the highest part of the Yan King’s Palace.

...

On the Griffin’s back, Queen Yan Chuo gently massaged the back of Suo Lun’s neck, bringing him back to consciousness.

"Ling, I’m sorry once again." Then, she lightly applied a neurotoxin on the back of Suo Lun’s neck.

Instantly, the paralyzing toxin spread rapidly through his central nervous system.

Soon, Suo Lun was completely immobile, yet he could see and hear.

The Griffin Beast landed on top of the Yan King’s Palace, where Queen Yan Chuo, arm-in-arm with Suo Lun, moved him inside the bedroom of the palace.

There, she positioned Suo Lun to sit on a grand bed, while her stunningly beautiful body gently leaned against his chest.

After settling into this pose, Queen Yan Chuo said, "Let the leaders of the Rock Thief Warriors come in."

Soon, hundreds of warrior leaders entered and knelt, paying their respects: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Queen Yan Chuo announced, "Lord Suo Lun has agreed to your five conditions."

The Rock Thief Warrior leaders looked towards Suo Lun.

"My husband, is that correct?" Queen Yan Chuo asked.

Suo Lun did not speak, while Queen Yan Chuo gently yet firmly nudged with her hand, prompting him to nod.

Queen Yan Chuo continued, "However, we have one condition."

"Please speak, Your Majesty," a Rock Thief Warrior leader said.

Queen Yan Chuo explained, "As everyone knows, the Human Kingdom values hypocrisy and places great emphasis on social morals. Although Lord Suo Lun and I have no blood relation, in many eyes, I was once Count Suo Long’s woman. Thus, my union with Suo Lun would appear extremely improper and could lead to public condemnation, which would be detrimental to his role as the Regent King. Therefore, our relationship must only be known to those present here and not disclosed publicly."

"By your command," the Rock Thief Warrior leader said. "What we desire is merely a pure-blooded, wise, and powerful young prince. With a new Yan King, our Yan Clan will have hope and a future. The nominal marital tie does not concern us."

"Thus, our agreement is reached," Queen Yan Chuo declared.

"The Rock Thief Warrior leaders said, "Since Lord Suo Lun has agreed to our five conditions, the Yan Clan is willing to pledge allegiance. From generation to generation, under the leadership of the Yan King, we will fight for the Suo Family."

Then, the lead Rock Thief Warrior slashed his palm, allowing blood to drip, and the hundreds of leaders also cut their palms.

Queen Yan Chuo raised Suo Lun’s palm, lightly incised it with a dagger, and let the blood flow.

Then, each Yan Clan warrior came forward and shook hands with Suo Lun, allowing their blood to mix.

This was the blood oath handshake of the Yan Clan!

Centuries ago, the leaders of the Rock Pirates had declared their loyalty to the first Yan King with this blood oath ceremony.

And now, they once again declared their allegiance to Suo Lun with the blood oath handshake, though these Yan Clan warrior leaders were not directly loyal to him, they represented the entire Yan Clan’s allegiance to Suo Lun.

A hundred Yan Clan warrior leaders all performed the blood oath handshake with Suo Lun.

"Please Majesty, return to the throne and reassume your position as the King of the Yan Clan," a hundred Yan Clan warriors knelt and said.

Queen Yan Chuo, sitting beside Suo Lun, declared, "Where my husband is, there is my throne. I return to power, casting aside all protocols."

"Yes!" the Yan Clan warrior leader responded. "I shall go and call the Yan Clan elders."

Then, he stepped forward to open the grand doors of the sleeping chamber and went out to summon the waiting elders of the Yan Tribe.

The Council of Elders of the Yan Tribe was a profoundly democratic organization. Regardless of one’s background or level of cultivation, anyone who lived to be over eighty years old automatically became a member with supreme supervisory and political rights.

Moreover, unlike the ancient nomadic tribes of China, the elders were not considered a burden but were respected by all.

Every time they plundered, the best grain, the finest wine, and the richest meat had to be offered first to these elders of the tribe.

Unlike the Huns on Earth, who, once old, were deemed useless and completely abandoned, unable to even feast on leftover cold meals.

Some traditions of the Yan Tribe were extremely primitive and backward, yet others were commendably civilized.

The doors of the temple opened, and several frail elders of the Yan Tribe entered, with the leader holding the Yan King’s crown.

This crown, made of gold, gems, and coral.

Was neither stunningly beautiful nor opulent, yet it possessed a mysterious and commanding aura.

After Yan Mo was poisoned, withered, and crumbled, the palace had fallen to the ground, still smeared with blood.

After his death, a Rock Thief Warrior had picked up the crown, handed it over to the Council of Elders, who then cleaned and made minor repairs to it. Now, it was once again as good as new.

Queen Yanchuo still sat on the throne, slightly bending her delicate body forward.

An elder, aged ninety, bowed and placed the crown on Queen Yanchuo’s head.

More than a year ago, Queen Yanchuo had placed this crown on her son Yan Mo’s head, and now it had returned to her own.

"Long live Queen Yanchuo!"

All the Rock Thief Warrior leaders present and all the elders of the Yan Tribe knelt and kowtowed.

Outside the royal palace, all Rock Thief Warriors and Yan citizens, tens of thousands of men, women, and children, irrespective of age, knelt on the steps.

"Long live Queen Yanchuo!"

Once again, Queen Yanchuo became the supreme ruler of the Yan Tribe.

Her throne, though unrecognized by the Human Kingdom or the Dragon Temple,

Was sacred and supreme in the eyes of the Yan citizens, not needing recognition from anyone else.

They did not worship the Dragon; they lived on an overseas island and had no plans to integrate into the civilization of the Human Kingdom.

After completing the coronation ritual, Queen Yanchuo stepped down from the bed, knelt on one knee before Lord Suo Lun, took his right hand, leaned down to kiss his ring, and solemnly yet tenderly said, "As the King of the Yan Clan, I, Queen Yan Chuo, vow that from this moment on, my Yan Clan will loyally serve the Suo Family generation after generation. Unless the Suo Family first breaks the blood oath, my Yan Clan will never betray; let heaven and earth witness, let the Sea God witness!"

"Heaven and earth witness, Sea God witness!"

Inside the hall, over a hundred leaders of Rock Thief Warriors and members of the Council of Elders cried out in unison.

Then outside, tens of thousands of Yan citizens and Rock Thieves echoed, "Heaven and earth witness, Sea God witness!"

From this day forward, the Yan Clan, a tribe known for its embrace of death, filled with honor and blood, would loyally serve under Lord Suo Lun!

In Lord Suo Lun’s hands, he now truly possessed a powerful trump card.
