Chapter 5130: 5.0882 Unwilling

He was unwilling—he truly was so unwilling!

Amidst the crackling currents, King Duoluo's eyes were wide with rage. He stared intently at the retreating figures of Qiao Mu and her group, laboriously extending a hand through the bars of the cage, weakly calling out, "No, come back! No!! Come back… come back, come…"

Bang!

The hidden door to the dungeon opened, a sliver of light flickering for a fleeting moment at the mouth of the water dungeon cage. Then, it plunged back into utter darkness.

King Duoluo was utterly distraught. He called out to Xiaoye, his voice filled with unwilling desperation, "You, you go call them back. I, we'll talk properly again, talk again!"

He truly hadn't expected these two to have such an attitude, showing no compromise, and not listening to anything he said. King Duoluo was completely at his wit's end. Facing those two fearless youngsters, he was helpless. Who knew this couple would be so troublesome? They left, ignoring him before he even finished speaking, carrying the little monk away with impatient looks on their faces.

Could they not have a proper conversation? So, why did they even come today? Was it just to arrogantly tell him that Kongkong would soon become the Great Emperor's god-grandson? Or perhaps to say… that Kongkong would henceforth have no connection or relation to him, King Duoluo, or the entire King Duoluo Manor?

Ah, ahhh!

King Duoluo's outer robe, pressed against the cage, was completely soaked with sweat, making the searing sensation even more intense. The electric current passed through his skin, directly into his heart and lungs. That agonizing, sizzling sensation truly made his entire body feel numb with pain. Only at this moment did he realize how vicious the methods of Crown Prince Mo and the Crown Princess were.

Yet, Xiaoye smiled and said, "There were children present just now, so the masters didn't want this subordinate to be too harsh on you."

"After all, if things get bloody, the children might have nightmares at night!"

King Duoluo's face was pressed against the cage. If there were a mirror in front of him now, he would surely see clusters of snake-like currents writhing across his face. The skin all over his body had already been charred by electricity. Due to his spiritual power being sealed, he couldn't use his cultivation to resist the five-elemental power contained within the cage. So, the pain he was enduring at this moment was imaginable.

"You, what exactly do you want to do?" King Duoluo was somewhat terrified now. He thought he would find an opportunity to talk to Kongyin, to find a chance for survival. But he hadn't expected that Kongyin would shamelessly go directly to the couple, creating a situation that seemed completely irreversible now.

"You, don't forget, I, I am, am the Crown Prince's direct grand-uncle! You, you can't do this to me. You can't!"

"Hah," Xiaoye let out a cold laugh, raising his hand to press King Duoluo's face tightly against the cage. "Is that so?"

"If you hadn't come seeking trouble for His Highness, you might have been allowed to live for a few more days." Xiaoye shook the porcelain bottle in his hand in front of King Duoluo, smiling. "Look, a gift from Her Highness the Crown Princess!"

"Will you take it yourself? Or shall this subordinate help you?"

King Duoluo's face drastically changed, and his entire body trembled. "You dare to inflict private punishment on this old man? His Majesty hasn't even ordered my execution, and you dare? You dare!!"

"Whether I dare or not, won't we only know once it's done?" Xiaoye said with a chuckle, extending the porcelain bottle towards him and shaking it.
