# Chapter 182: The Generosity of Luo Feng
Within the royal palace of the Yu Kingdom’s capital.
Black Butcher and Suo Zi exchanged glances, a hint of nervousness in their eyes.
“The King is going to Huyang City, and he’s actually taking us two along?” The portly Black Butcher, an Eternal True God, was naturally considered upper-class in ordinary cities. But logically, he shouldn’t be qualified to meet the King.
The King of the Yu Kingdom, capable of establishing a second-rate kingdom, was a being of renowned prestige in the Origin Continent.
“Even I was chosen?” Suo Zi was even more bewildered, being the only Void True God among the six attendants.
“Father…” Yu Shui Tianyu also spoke, as she was just one of the Yu King’s many children.
The Yu King, covered in thick hair, stood there, his mere avatar exuding a terrifying aura. He glanced over the six attendants, his gaze finally settling on Black Butcher and Suo Zi, the master and disciple. “This time, I’m going to Huyang City to visit God-King Luo He. I heard that you two are acquaintances of God-King Luo He?”
“God-King Luo He?”
“Senior Luo He became a God-King?”
Black Butcher and Suo Zi weren’t that well-informed, and only now did they learn that Luo He had become a God-King.
“Reporting to the King, God-King Luo He was very fond of my eatery and often came to patronize it,” the portly Black Butcher replied obediently.
“Reporting to the King, when I left my tribe, God-King Luo He saved our tribal caravan, allowing me to reach Huyang City. God-King Luo He is my savior,” Suo Zi added.
The Yu King, covered in thick hair, nodded indifferently. Bringing along two acquaintances was also to build a closer relationship with Luo Feng.
“Let’s depart.”
With a command from the Yu King.
Whoosh!
He led the six attendants, instantly piercing through space-time, traveling within the distorted currents.
In the blink of an eye, the group emerged from the distorted space-time, appearing within Huyang City.
“Luo He…” The Yu King flew leisurely with his retinue, heading straight towards the City Lord’s manor.
The Yu King had a hint of worry in his eyes.
“In terms of strength, King Tiankun is not much different from me. But in terms of friends, King Tiankun far surpasses me.” The Yu King was somewhat uneasy. “King Tiankun has many friends, and even has excellent relations with the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom’s imperial family. Several Emperors often summon him.”
“This Luo He is, after all, a personal disciple of an Emperor from the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom. Perhaps he is friends with King Tiankun?” The Yu King lacked any confidence in persuading Luo Feng.
He was used to being alone.
“I have to try.”
“If I can’t enlist Luo He, then I’ll ask God-King Suifeng to temporarily hold off King Tiankun and buy me some time.” The Yu King also had a backup plan, to have God-King Suifeng help block for one epoch.
One epoch would allow him to find a way to escape safely from the Heavenly River.
As the Heavenly River was now ambushed, fleeing in haste would easily lead him into a trap.
If he couldn’t escape even after one epoch… then he could only pay a huge price! Either abandon his true body, or negotiate with King Tiankun and the others.
“Father, the City Lord’s manor is ahead,” Yu Shui Tianyu suddenly reminded.
The Yu King stopped his wandering thoughts, looking at the towering City Lord’s manor before him.
“Brother Luo He,” the Yu King transmitted a message through causality. “This is Yu Shui.”
A figure in silver robes appeared at the entrance of the City Lord’s manor.
“City Lord,” the guards at the gate immediately greeted respectfully.
“God-King Luo He?”
Yu Shui Tianyu, Black Butcher, and Suo Zi all saw the silver-robed figure, seemingly familiar yet also somewhat strange.
Luo Feng now, dressed in silver robes, exuded an even more ordinary aura.
“Greetings, King Yu Shui,” Luo Feng said.
“I’ve long heard of Brother Luo He’s name, but today is the first time we’ve met,” King Yu Shui said with a smile. He had once tried to recruit Luo Feng as his disciple, but Luo Feng had declined at the time and went to the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom’s capital, Chu Du.
“There are also three old acquaintances,” Luo Feng said, smiling at Yu Shui Tianyu, Black Butcher, and Suo Zi. He had met them when he was still an Eternal True God.
“God-King Luo He,” the three of them greeted respectfully.
“King Yu Shui, let’s go inside and talk,” Luo Feng said.
“Alright,” King Yu Shui agreed and entered together, instructing his attendants, “You can look around Huyang City.”
“Yes,” the attendants acknowledged, watching the King and Luo Feng enter, then relaxed.
Black Butcher looked at the much more prosperous city, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity. He had struggled in Huyang City for a long time, painstakingly accumulating resources to break through to become an Eternal True God.
“Huyang City,” Suo Zi’s feelings were even more complex. His brother, Suo Yun, was already dead; he had received the news a long time ago.
The two brothers had initially wanted to settle down in Huyang City! But later, they went down different paths, and he went to the royal capital with his master. Suo Yun had even come to see him off that time.
“Black Butcher, you and your disciple know Huyang City well, arrange a place to eat and drink,” Yu Shui Tianyu instructed.
“Your Highness, please follow me,” Black Butcher immediately led the way.
…
Inside the City Lord’s manor. Luo Feng and King Yu Shui sat facing each other.
“Rumors have been spreading that after Brother Luo He became a God-King, he would quickly reach the invincible level of a God-King at the first level,” King Yu Shui said, looking at Luo Feng. “Seeing you today, the rumors are indeed true. The strength of your physical body has already reached the second level of a God-King.”
Although only an avatar had come, his realm was still there, so he could naturally sense the terrifying nature of Luo Feng’s avatar.
“I cultivate the physical body path, my moves are clumsy and not worth mentioning,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “I owe my current strength to the King.”
“Owe it to me?” King Yu Shui was surprised. Did it have something to do with him?
“Back then, the King sent his daughter, Yu Shui Tianyu, who gifted me a ‘Void Origin Mother Tree Leaf’, which greatly helped my cultivation,” Luo Feng said.
That leaf was of ordinary value, but it had a profound impact on Luo Feng.
It was because of that leaf that he was able to go to the Chaos Layer, collect some Chaos Layer creatures, and start researching the ‘Transformation Method’ early on! Without that leaf, Luo Feng’s core fighting method might not have been the Transformation Method.
“A Void Origin Mother Tree Leaf?” King Yu Shui chuckled. “Brother Luo He, you’re too polite! That’s just a leaf that helps Eternal True Gods enter the Chaos Layer and better comprehend the ‘Chaos Laws’. It’s just an aid to Eternal True God cultivation, not worth mentioning.”
“It was of great significance to me,” Luo Feng said, not explaining further.
*!.*
He was too poor at that time! That leaf was all the more precious, and it also helped him become a Chaos Realm expert much faster.
King Yu Shui felt much more at ease now, sensing Luo He’s goodwill!
“Brother Luo He, I came today with something important to discuss,” King Yu Shui said.
“Please speak your mind, King,” Luo Feng said, personally pouring wine for King Yu Shui.
King Yu Shui said, “You are well aware of the situation between the Shi Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom.”
“As long as the King is alive, they won’t dare to truly destroy the Yu Kingdom,” Luo Feng said. King Yu Shui was, after all, a God-King at the second level. If he truly had no ties, the Shi Kingdom would be in big trouble instead.
Old Man of the Mountain had fled and was in hiding; the Shi Kingdom didn’t care!
King Yu Shui’s deterrence was completely different.
“They wouldn’t dare to destroy the Yu Kingdom, nor would they dare to destroy my clan,” King Yu Shui shook his head, his eyes hidden under his fur full of unwillingness. “But they can constantly nibble away at the Yu Kingdom, eating up ninety percent of its territory, forcing the other God-Kings of the Yu Kingdom to leave one by one.”
“Without most of its territory, the God-Kings and Chaos Realm experts will leave, and my clan will not have enough resources.”
Luo Feng nodded.
At King Yu Shui’s level, he might value the resources of treasure lands even more.
But the other four God-Kings, as well as countless members of the Yu Shui clan… what they needed was the continuous supply of ‘residence fees’ and natural treasures from the entire Yu Kingdom’s territory. Without these, clan conflicts would naturally be great.
“How many God-Kings can completely disregard their children and their clans?” King Yu Shui said.
“That’s right,” Luo Feng nodded.
To him, his family, children, and the Human clan were more important than his own life.
“That’s why I came to ask Brother Luo He for help,” King Yu Shui said. “As an overlord, Brother Luo He, and being skilled in the art of clones, King Tiankun can’t do anything to you. You have enough strength to resist the Shi Kingdom.”
“Of course, I know that this request will put you in a difficult position,” King Yu Shui said. “Once you completely fall out with King Tiankun, you will have made a great enemy.”
“King Tiankun is powerful, a God-King at the second level with deep accumulation. Facing him, you are also at a disadvantage, forced to take a beating. And he has many friends; several Emperors of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom value him.” King Yu Shui looked at Luo Feng. “I would understand if you’re unwilling to get involved.”
“King Tiankun is not to be trifled with,” Luo Feng admitted, nodding.
King Yu Shui said, “I have two ideas. First, I invite you to completely join my Yu Kingdom and become a God-King of my Yu Kingdom. I will naturally give you enough fiefdom! Give you enough treasures! These conditions can all be discussed in detail. At that time, you will have ample reason to help resist the Shi Kingdom.”
“Second, if you are unwilling to join my Yu Kingdom, just consider it asking Brother Luo He for help, and you can also name your conditions. I can divide a portion of the territory to give to you! The entire Yu Kingdom… I can decide to give you twenty Chaos Provinces! Or I can use treasures worth ‘one hundred million merits’ to ask you to take action, to help me resist the Shi Kingdom.”
“I know that to completely stand against the Shi Kingdom, to resist the Shi Kingdom in the long term, these conditions are not enough.”
“It would be normal for you to refuse,” King Yu Shui looked at Luo Feng.
The entire Yu Kingdom’s territory already had owners.
For him to divide out twenty Chaos Provinces, he would also need to take back the fiefdoms of some Chaos Realm experts and even God-Kings, requiring a lot of compensation. Therefore, Luo Feng could only choose one of twenty Chaos Provinces or treasures worth one hundred million merits.
“Joining the Yu Kingdom is unnecessary,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “How about this, ten Chaos Provinces, and you hire me, and I’ll help you resist the Shi Kingdom.”
King Yu Shui was already uneasy, because the conditions he had given were not very high.
“You agreed? Ten Chaos Provinces?” King Yu Shui couldn’t believe it. Luo He had agreed so readily and even lowered the conditions on his own?
You had to know that a God-King with deep accumulation, like Old Man of the Mountain, could build a third-rate kingdom on his own, generally having about ten Chaos Provinces of territory.
Luo Feng, as an overlord, was going to resist the entire Shi Kingdom and only wanted ten Chaos Provinces, which was really low.
“That Void Origin Mother Tree Leaf back then was of great help to me,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “Ten Chaos Provinces, and I’ll help you, King. But I’ll choose the location of these ten Chaos Provinces.”
“Alright, choose as you please,” King Yu Shui thought, even if he chose the most crucial ones, he would have to find a way to solve it.
“Just these ten.”
Luo Feng waved his hand, revealing a map of the Yu Kingdom, with the ten Chaos Provinces closest to “Huyang City” as the center. They were actually also within the range of Luo Feng’s inner world!
“The ten Chaos Provinces bordering the border?” King Yu Shui was moved. The provinces bordering the border now had the worst situation; some of them had even been occupied by the Shi Kingdom, and the rest were still being attacked.
“Just those,” Luo Feng said. “Also, Marquis Jiujiang is my friend, and I have now included Jiujiang Chaos Province as well. Please arrange a good fiefdom for him, King.”
“Rest assured, everything will be properly arranged,” King Yu Shui looked at Luo Feng, truly touched. “Brother Luo He is helping me so generously; I, Yu Shui, will remember it.”
