The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 584: Leader, Lord, King or Emperor?

"Surely, they would all return with me" He reassured her;

"I also have nothing else and plan to go wherever he goes, so that we can raise this child together" Mao My revealed as she looked towards Gu Ming with a slight blush;

"Is that what you desire?" Min Hong asked Gu Ming who nodded like a famished beggar who was asked if he needed food

"Done" Min Hong granted

"Well, since I decided to follow both of them because I was very much interested in the growth of the Diamond Crust Mercenary; now that they have another goal in mind, I guess there is nothing bad in staying behind and putting all that energy in growing this city"

Elder Fu added as the Core Court Disciples all looked towards Min Hong who once again nodded in affirmation of Elder Fu's choices

They were really impressed; though, they had not gone through multiple life and death situations together, but the ones they had gone through were those they never though they would survive, not to talk about gaining some benefits in the end;

Thus, they knew that if Elder Fu's group made other decisions, it wouldn't be the best, despite knowing that Min Hong would never allow them leave empty handed

Furthermore, there was the attraction of serving the son of an overlord which though wasn't revealed, but was still apparent form the speed at which they made their decisions

"Gong Yi, Xiao Gui, Tong Tian, Ki Ting; as for you guys, when we return to the Sect-" Min Hong had barely reached half of his statement when Gong Yi raised his hand and stood up;

"We have begun this journey together Fei Hong, and I hope that you don't think this is where it ends; because I believe I am speaking for every one of us Core Court Disciples when I say this;"

"Not only have we started a great thing together, we have also grown stronger and become a better person during our time together; thus, we would love if things could continue in that pattern" Gong Yi added before returning to his seat

"Alright then Since it is decided, I have contacted Huan Ji to have him come pick us up by Dawn tomorrow" Min Hong added;

"There would be food and drinks aboard the ship to last everyone for the one month, which is the amount of time it would take for all of us to migrate down here"

"But before Huan Ji arrives, there are many edible fruits and clear spring water which you can all feed on"

"I also have some extra here should in case you are not too comfortable with eating the things here yet"

Min Hong added with a wave of his sleeves as all the roasted and dried meats in his spatial ring appeared within the throne hall in heaps

Their mouthwatering aroma suffused the entire throne room as the rest of the group were not only stunned by the amount of food he had on his person, but by the size of the storage ring itself

"You can also have these and these and these"

Min Hong waved his sleeves three more times as several edible fruits which were native to both the Dogon Empire and the Jun Empire appeared within the throne room, and since the Land Of Stones was situated just in between both Empires, it meant that these experts were all familiar with most of what they were seeing.

"You can keep the rest in the City storage; it should be open to everyone till everyone is here"

Then beside the fruits were several barrels of wine and jugs of the spirit fruit juice made by Min Rou; and lastly, were about 2000 mid-grade spirit stones as well as several other resources from cultivation techniques, to other resources;

"That should suffice for cultivation since the Qi in the atmosphere here is very rich"

Min Hong added before reclining into the throne, whilst the group of; Elder Fu, Mao My, Gu Ming and Yu Ming took all the resources in their sights and began to leave

"So, what are we to call you now?; Head, Leader, Lord, King or Emperor?"

The Princess abruptly asked just as Elder Fu's group were about to step out; as they all froe in shock

To them, if they didn't know the Princess prior to this, they would have thought she was simply trying to cause trouble

But Min Hong simply smirked without looking at her; he had been expecting her to speak since they arrived, and he was expecting her to put him in a pinch; after all, that was the only way women could truly fight any man;

"It is not yet time to impose; or rather I don't think I should impose; when the time is ripe and everyone sees how things develop, everyone would know how to address me themselves"

"But irrespective of how things go, when it is time to impose, I definitely won't stand on ceremony"

Min Hong replied but the entire group were caught in two mind; If he had responded with a pissed expression, then they would simply go with their suspicions that they were both having a rough patch at the moment, but Min Hong's current smiles was as genuine and kind as how they knew it to be, which is why they were plunged into a deeper internal conflict of the situation between them

They had seen the Princess leave the palace last night to pick a random mansion to live in and had thought Min Hong was throwing a fit, or had simply remembered the son of whom he was and as a result was acting it, which in turn didn't please the princess

That was the reason why they dished out a lot of respect to him today, to the extent that it was almost like they had a level of fear for him, but now that they were seeing and witnessing everything in person, it didn't seem to be as they thought it was

[What do you think is going on between them?] Gong Yi abruptly received a mental transmission from Xiao Gui;

[I don't know; but the princess seems to be picking a fight with him] Gong Yi replied;

[Women are so complicated; at least with a man, you can obviously tell when he is just feeling inferior, or angry about someone stealing his woman, or anything else]

[Yeah It's a total drag; the funny thing is, it might be because of something lovey-dovey] Gong Yi replied with a sigh

Min Hong caught the two of them and knew they were exchanging mental transmissions with each other but decided not to eavesdrop

"Since that's all We would be leaving first"

Elder Fu spoke as he and his crew almost fled the scene, unwilling to be dragged into such matters

"We shall also take our leave"

Gong Yi added, as the rest of the Core Court Disciples tagged along and left the throne room, leaving the grumpy princess who seemed to have something troubling her and the nonchalant Min Hong in the throne hall
