Chapter 349: The Empress Dowager Arrives!



"Young Master Xu, you’re finally here!"

The Seventh Princess was thrilled and excited that Xu Que had finally appeared!

Xu Que had one knee on the ground. His head was lowered and one of his hands was clenched in a fist, with his forehead resting on it. Xu Que had landed in one of his act tough poses!

"Yes, I’m here!"

The corners of Xu Que’s lips curled up. His head lifted slightly to look at the Seventh Princess.

A gust of wind blew against Xu Que, brushing against his fringe and revealing his dashingly coquettish smile.

The Seventh Princess was slightly stunned by that smile. Her beautiful face beneath her veil changed into a smile as well. "Young Master Xu, I knew that you would definitely come!"

"As the Speed Star of Mount Akina, the famous Old Driver, how could I not appear for a contest like this?"

Xu Que stood up as he smiled, and glanced at the entrance of the Imperial Tombs.

A pathway stretched out from the entrance to a winding mountain path that could lead to the foot of the mountain.

Both sides of the path were full of onlookers and rows of guards standing perfectly upright!

It was evident that the mountain path was the racing course for the Divine Chariot Contest!

Xu Que took a quick look at the path and he was instantly delighted to see that it had consecutive curves in the road. This was too suitable for an Old Driver like him and a great chance to act tough. He could enjoy the feeling of dashing through the consecutive curves by drifting with his car!

"Hmm? I feel that I might be being stared at by someone gay..."

Suddenly, Xu Que sensed murderous intent not too far away. He turned around and saw the gloomy face of the Second Prince.

Ever since Xu Que had emptied everything inside his treasure vault, the Second Prince had dared not publicize it. He could only secretly engage assassins to find Xu Que, but the assassins had not been able to locate him for the past two days as well.

Now that Xu Que had appeared, the Second Prince could not contain his urge to have him killed. He almost could not hold back from dealing Xu Que a killing blow!

"Hey, Second Fatty, you’re here too?" Xu Que immediately greeted the Second Prince warmly. "Have you been sleeping well the past few days? Oh dear, you look thinner now. Have you not had a good appetite? Are you so poor that you don’t have enough to eat? Maybe... I’ll help you apply for some social aid? How does five accounts sound for you? So every month you’ll get a minimum amount of a few taels of silver?"

These words nearly made the Second Prince spit out a mouthful of blood!

What the heck?

You emptied out my treasure vault and ransacked my chamber. How can I still eat and sleep well?

Hello, I’m a prince. Why would I need social aid?

Do you think that what you did is something that a few taels of silver can settle?

D*mn it, just you wait!

I won’t rest till you’re dead!

The Second Prince stared at Xu Que so ferociously that veins started to appear on his forehead. He looked livid.

"Are you Xu Que?" A man near the Second Prince stepped forward and looked at Xu Que expressionlessly.

Xu Que’s eyebrow worked. Where did this idiot come from? he thought. He looks like he has a grudge against me.

"Young Master Xu, this man is the World’s Greatest Chariot King, Zhang Lin. You’ll need to be wary of him later!" the Seventh Princess walked over to Xu Que and informed him with a serious expression.

Obviously, the title of Chariot King was not some unearned reputation that could just be given to anyone. Even the Seventh Princess dared not belittle him!

Nevertheless, Xu Que was not in the least affected. "When I drive, I only pay attention to two things. That is, fast movements and dashing postures. As for the rest, I don’t care about them!"

Confidence, this is confidence! the Seventh Princess thought as her eyes flashed slightly. What she valued was Xu Que’s great level of confidence.

She believed that only people with outstanding strength would have such a confident demeanour!

Xu Que looked towards Zhang Lin and replied in a cold tone, "whether I am Xu Que or not is none of your business, alright?"

Zhang Lin’s expression darkened. Originally, he had heard that Xu Que had extraordinary skill in driving divine chariots and wanted to taunt him. But he had not expected this guy to be so rude. He was now infuriated and spat, "I’m Zhang Lin!"

"None of my business!" Xu Que replied rudely again.

Those words ’none of my business’ not only almost drove Zhang Lin crazy with anger, but they also made everyone present feel annoyed yet amused at the sight!

"This fellow has a sharp tongue. Anyone talking to him might die of anger!"

"But he angered Chariot King Zhang. Guess he won’t have an easy time later!"

"That’s for sure. Chariot King Zhang’s driving skill has peaked and is breathtakingly splendid. How can Xu Que compare to him?"

"Haha, this is called ’he who knows nothing fears nothing’!"

Many people were shaking their heads and thought that Xu Que was very ill-informed!

Even the Third Prince and his group standing behind the Seventh Princess wore dubious expressions on their faces...

"Is this fellow really reliable?"

"Somehow I feel that he’s rather unreliable. Why don’t we send more people out for the first round? Just in case!" suggested the princes who supported their Third Brother.

The Third Prince was deep in thought for a moment. Then he opened his mouth, about to speak...

Booom!

A sudden roaring sound was heard from a distance, followed by a sharp and clear voice that pierced through the sky. It could be heard all throughout the surroundings of the Imperial Tombs.

"The... Emperor... arrives!"

When everyone heard this, they stiffened up and instantly looked formal and serious.

Swoosh!

All the guards kneeled on the ground. All the cultivators paid their respects by cupping one hand in the other in front of their chests and bowing!

"Long live the Metal Emperor!"

The deafening shout of the crowd resounded to the skies!

The Imperial Tombs Contest not only involved the excavation of the Dragon Veins, but also the fight for the position of Crown Prince. The Metal Emperor had to be there personally to preside over the event.

However, the Emperor’s majestic appearance actually gave Xu Que some thoughts of becoming an Emperor. This was because he would gain a lot of Acting Tough Points if he appeared like that as an Emperor!

Boom!

With another loud sound, more than ten divine chariots were seen speeding around the foot of the hill. One of them was golden, gleaming and dignified.

Soon, all the divine chariots stopped at the foot of the mountain. A middle-aged man stepped out of the golden chariot. He had a gentle and elegant face yet there was a dignified and imposing air about him that felt natural!

Xu Que was also able to feel a natural majestic aura from the Metal Emperor.

The Emperor had a square face. He wore a golden crown and his gown was embroidered with dragons. Many people dared not look at the Emperor directly in the eye because of his stately aura.

Moreover, the Metal Emperor exuded an unfading feeling that he had lived for many years, despite having a rather youthful appearance. That made people feel an involuntary surge of respect for him. It was as if he was a solemn Buddha who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

His eyes were also full of wisdom and seemingly possessed profound knowledge.

Xu Que only had brief eye contact with him. In just that moment, he felt as if he was being seen right through. A sense of guilt rose within him.

Undoubtedly, that was the Emperor of the Metal Nation... a man with modern, advanced thinking!

After looking at the Emperor a few more times, Xu Que gave a pleasant smile.

In contrast to the Fire Emperor, the first impression the Metal Emperor gave Xu Que was that he was a much, much better ruler! This is what an Emperor should be! he thought.

Boom!

At that moment, a few more loud sounds were heard.

Another group of several divine chariots were seen from the foot of the mountain. That sharp, clear and loud voice was heard once more!

"The... Empress.... Dowager... arrives!"
