Although Haofang still named the person after his kick, Xia Lei was still surprised when he saw that person.
The person who came to see Xia Lei turned out to be the prince of the empire, King Di Kun. And he was alone, without an army or even an entourage.
Several resistance fighters brought Heaven Suppressing King Di Kun into the hall of Ghost King Castle. Xia Lei waved his hand, and the resistance fighters retreated. Xia Lei and Di Kun were the only two people in the huge hall. He said he was asking for an audience, but when Di Kun came he didn't salute or even speak. He looked straight at Xia Lei, not hiding the contempt, disdain and hatred in his eyes.
In his opinion, he did have the capital to despise Xia Lei, even in the current environment where the empire was about to collapse. Not for anything else, because he is a noble prince, and Xia Lei is just a human being. In this world, human beings are the humblest existence. When it comes to human beings, what people can think of is the cheapest people from the past. Either for food or for labor, they only have a short life span of a hundred days. Although Xia Lei is an exception at the top of the pyramid, he is still a human being.
Xia Lei also looked at Di Kun. Unlike Di Kun's complicated eyes, his eyes looked calm. In fact, he felt at peace in his heart. In his eyes, the so-called prince was no different from the guard standing outside the door.
In the end, Di Kun couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and said, "Where is Di Yin? I want to see her."
Xia Lei picked up the cup of tea that Da Qiao made for her which was placed on the table, took a sip and then said slowly: "I don't have Di Yin here, only Huofeng."
"Hmph!" Di Kun snorted coldly, "No matter what you call her, she is the Princess of Evernight in the empire. You can't change this, and she can't change it either."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Okay, Di Yin, Di Yin, why do you want to see my wife? She is raising a baby and it is not convenient for her to see you."
This is a bad act of stabbing people in the mouth, and adding salt to the wound is not considered a stab! If Xia Lei and Fen Yan hadn't stolen Di Yin from Guihun Island, she would be his wife now, pregnant with his child and become a Phoenix Rider, and he would also be the key to resurrecting Myas. The character was reused by Meiyas and his name will remain in history! However, all of this was shattered by this humble human being in front of him. How could he not hate Xia Lei in his heart? But Xia Lei actually called Di Yin his wife in front of him and even raised a baby! Isn't this just adding salt to the wound after stabbing someone with a knife
Di Kun's face was so dark that water could drip from it, and his heart was bleeding. He really wanted to ask Di Yin if she was really pregnant, but he didn't say it in the end.
Xia Lei took another sip of tea and said calmly: "You definitely didn't want to come here, right? You were sent by the Black Sun Emperor to declare a challenge to me, right? Take out the challenge."
There was a hint of disdain on the corner of Di Kun's mouth, "It's nothing special if you can guess it."
Xia Lei said: "I not only know that you carry the letter of challenge given to me by Emperor Black Sun, but also the secret hidden in your heart. On the top of Burning Flame Mountain, you wanted to kill your brother Di Jiuyou, Is it right?"
Di Kun's expression suddenly changed. If Xia Lei might have guessed it when he said that he carried the Black Sun Emperor's War Letter on his body, then how could he guess this secret? In fact, he had been preventing Xia Lei from stealing memory information from his brain since he arrived here, but now it seems that this is useless! What made him even more shocked and nervous was that he didn't feel Xia Lei taking any action against him at all, but Xia Lei got the secret in his heart!
Xia Lei put down the tea cup and said slowly: "You want to kill your brother, and your brother Di Jiuyou also wants to kill you. But the Black Sun Emperor sent you here to declare a war, not Di Jiuyou . Your father could have sent a soldier for such a thing, but he sent you instead. Aren't he afraid that I would kill you? I have killed four kings, as well as Yin Lang, the manager of the Black Sun Palace. I don’t care about killing you either. And killing you would be beneficial to me.”
Di Kun suddenly became nervous. He was just surprised just now, but now he is scared. He completely believed that if Xia Lei wanted to kill him, he would kill him without any hesitation. At the same time, there was a surge of hatred in his heart. Yes, why was he sent to do such a task that could be completed by just a servant
Xia Lei was still adding fuel to the fire, "Your father must have asked you to investigate my situation and Huo Feng's situation. This is also the reason why you didn't give me a letter of challenge but wanted to see Huo Feng, right? You I think this is an opportunity to atone for my sins, but in my opinion, your father has already made his choice. Of the two princes, only one can be the heir apparent. If both princes are in love with Doomsday City, do you want to kill him? Di Jiuyou, Di Jiuyou also wants to kill you, which is not in the interest of the empire. So, just borrow a knife to kill one of them. Your father obviously prefers your younger brother. He chose Di Jiuyou and gave up on you. "
"That's enough!" Di Kun yelled angrily: "Stop talking! I don't want to hear it, and I don't believe it either!"
Xia Lei smiled, "You don't need to be nervous, let alone be afraid. I will never do anything that is beneficial to the Black Sun Emperor. Give me the letter of challenge, and you can go back."
Di Kun gave the letter of challenge to Xia Lei but did not leave. He stood in the hall, silent and said nothing. When he came, he looked down on Xia Lei with a majestic appearance and the attitude of a prince. Now he is like a frustrated loser, alone, extremely lonely, and extremely depressed.
Although he yelled at Xia Lei and said he didn't believe what Xia Lei said, he couldn't help but believe it himself. Yes, if Emperor Black Sun hadn't chosen Di Jiuyou, why did he send him to Styx City to die? What a tactic to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Xia Lei didn't even bother to look at Di Kun again. He took out the letter from the envelope.
There is a sentence written on the snow-white letter paper: One month later, in the Abyss of Annihilation, you and I will fight. I'll take the piece with me, kill me and you can get it. I only have one condition, you must come with the fire phoenix. If you don't agree to my terms, you will never see the last fragment.
It is not surprising that Emperor Black Sun has such conditions. But such conditions gave Xia Lei a headache. He believed that Huofeng would agree to go with him to the Abyss of Annihilation for an appointment as soon as he asked. But in that case, wouldn't his decisive battle with the Black Sun Emperor become a gamble? ? He was not willing to gamble with his wife at all.
The letter paper and the envelope suddenly burned in Xia Lei's hands and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Xia Lei raised his eyes and looked at Di Kun, "Why are you still here? I really don't want to do what the Black Sun Emperor and Di Jiuyou did, but that doesn't mean I won't change my mind and kill you. I'm a very emotional person. Yes, your father has angered me by offering such shameful conditions."
Di Kun sneered uncharacteristically, "If you don't kill me, it's because you want to see Di Jiuyou and I fight internally. An unstable royal family will definitely be easier to deal with than a stable royal family, right?"
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth, "Then do you want me to kill you now?"
Di Kun was silent for a moment before saying: "I want to go back, and you will see the chaos you want. But I have a condition, you must agree to me."
"Do you think you are qualified to make conditions with me?" Xia Lei asked.
Di Kun smiled bitterly, "No, I am a person who was sent to die. What qualifications do I have to ask you for conditions? Well, let me put it another way. I ask you to promise me that I want to see Di Yin... Huofeng... one side."
He suddenly lowered his posture so low and even changed his name to Huo Feng. Xia Lei felt a little uncomfortable. But in this short period of time, he had captured and converted Di Kun's brain waves, and understood Di Kun's psychological changes and thoughts at this moment. A smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are also my uncle after all, and you are so sincere, okay, I will let my wife come out to meet you. But you have to be careful about the words you use, you If you provoke her or disrespect her, I will kill you without hesitation."
Dickin nodded.
Xia Lei said: "Huofeng, come out, my uncle is here to see you."
His words of "brother uncle" fell into Di Kun's ears, like a knife stabbing Di Kun's heart constantly, but Di Kun could only endure it silently.
Huo Feng walked out of the passage at the back of the hall. She actually knew that Di Kun was coming and had been waiting behind him early in the morning. Of course, she didn't want to see this former "brother", she just wanted to know the reason for Di Kun's visit. She waited for Xia Lei to come back and tell her, but she didn't expect Xia Lei to ask her to go out to meet. She was actually a little surprised.
The fire phoenix came forward, and the bloody immortal wings on its back were mysterious, noble, and extremely eye-catching.
Di Kun was stunned for a moment. In his eyes, Fire Phoenix was no longer the "Eternal Night Princess" he was familiar with. She had awakened her immortal firebird bloodline. Compared with the previous "Eternal Night Princess", the current Huofeng is more mature, more noble, and has a stronger aura. The current Huofeng is more like a queen than the poor "phoenix-riding pregnant woman" who cannot control her own destiny.
Huofeng came to Xia Lei, without saying hello to Di Kun, or even looking at Di Kun. The first thing she did was to pick up the kettle on the table, add some water to Xia Lei's tea cup, and said : "This is the tea given by Da Qiao, right? Do you like drinking it? I will ask her for some tea later, so that I can make it for you when you go to my place."
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Let's talk about these little things when we go home. My uncle is here, you can chat for a while."
Huofeng nodded, "Yeah."
This is not the princess of an empire, she is simply an obedient little daughter-in-law.
Di Kun's eyes moved to Huofeng's belly, and he saw a slightly bulging belly. His heart suddenly ached. The bride in his dream thought he was an enemy wife, and she was still pregnant!
Xia Lei stood up and said, "Let's talk, my dear wife, I'll wait for you behind."
Huofeng was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Yeah."
Xia Lei's eyes fell on Di Kun, "I remind you again, pay attention to your words. If you make my beloved wife unhappy, I will kill you."
At this moment, Di Kun felt as if he was in an ice cellar. Every word Xia Lei said to him was filled with a bone-chilling chill!
