Chapter 348: Chapter 348: I’ll Just Find a Place, Dig a Hole, and Bury Myself

Seeing Xia Xingyu’s reaction, the visitor said cautiously:

"Your Majesty, Prince Ye Feng is actually quite a catch. Not only is he handsome and dignified, but he’s also brave and resourceful. Plus, he has the backing of the Great Xia Empire. If you could reconcile with him, he would surely become our most powerful ally. The Twelve-Nation Allied Forces would undoubtedly flee without a fight..."

"Enough! I will never agree to this. And another thing—if anyone dares to suggest I submit to Ye Feng again, I’ll execute their entire clan!"

The visitor was instantly speechless.

But just then, another person rushed in to report, "Reporting to Your Majesty the Queen! The Twelve-Nation Allied Forces have massed their troops at the eastern gate of the Imperial Capital! They’re attacking ferociously, and we can’t hold out for much longer."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xingyu’s face went pale. She shouted frantically, "Quickly! Order Yang Hai to bring his troops back to defend the capital!"

But the messenger replied helplessly, "Your Majesty, Marshal Yang has already been ordered to the northern border of Malaysia to defend against the Great Xia Country’s invasion. More importantly, he can’t possibly make it back in time!"

Xia Xingyu was stunned. Another advisor gritted their teeth and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, if Prince Ye Feng agrees to help us, the Twelve-Nation Allied Forces could be easily repelled..."

"Don’t you dare mention him to me!" Xia Xingyu shrieked, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I want Ye Feng to know that Malaysia can survive without him!

Summon the old king for me at once!"

As soon as Xia Xingyu finished speaking, a set of footsteps sounded at the door. Soon, an old man in a patchwork robe, carrying a wine gourd, sauntered in.

The old man was none other than the old king of Malaysia, Xia Chuan.

Seeing the old man, Xia Xingyu’s eyes lit up. She hurried to greet him, crying out:

"Grandfather, you’re finally here! The Twelve-Nation Allied Forces have returned with a vengeance, launching a second attack on Malaysia. They’re already at the gates of Jilong! You have to think of a way to repel the enemy!"

"I don’t have the ability to do that!" Xia Chuan refused without a moment’s hesitation, before Xia Xingyu could even finish.

Xia Xingyu froze. ’Is this... is this still the same old king who worried so much for his country?’

After a long moment, she finally snapped out of it. She looked at Xia Chuan and cried out, "Grandfather, you’re the cornerstone of Malaysia! If you can’t do anything, then who can stop the Twelve-Nation Allied Forces? Who can protect our people from being slaughtered?"

"You! You’re Her Majesty the Queen of Malaysia now. You’re the boss of Malaysia. You don’t even take me seriously anymore. Just look how capable you are!" Xia Chuan glared at Xia Xingyu.

"Oh, Grandfather, what are you talking about? When have I ever not taken you seriously?!" Xia Xingyu exclaimed in surprise!

"You don’t even listen to a word I say. If that’s not looking down on me, then what is?" Xia Chuan said bluntly.

"Stop wasting my time with this nonsense. The only one who can repel this powerful enemy is Ye Feng. Begging me is useless. You should go beg Ye Feng!"

Xia Xingyu instantly understood. ’So that’s what this was all about!’

But the mere mention of Ye Feng made her blood boil. She looked at Xia Chuan, stuck her chin out, and shouted, "Grandfather, don’t mention him! I would rather die than go beg him!"

Xia Chuan glared at Xia Xingyu, and without another word, he turned to leave.

Xia Xingyu quickly blocked his path and shouted frantically, "Hey, Grandfather, where are you going? The Twelve-Nation Allied Forces are about to trample our Imperial Capital!"

Xia Chuan glared back at Xia Xingyu. "I know all that, but do you really think I have what it takes to repel the Twelve-Nation Allied Forces? Let me tell you, I don’t.

This time, to avenge their previous defeat, the allied forces have come out in full force, reassembling an army of twenty million.

What’s even more terrifying... do you have any idea how frightening the people they’ve brought are? Let me give you an example, and you’ll understand. The master of the National Preceptor of Yue Country, Lai Tuduo, is also here!"

"Lai Tuduo, the reclusive old fiend of Southeast Asia, known as its number one expert, a Tier Seven Martial Immortal?" Xia Xingyu shrieked. The next moment, her beautiful face turned deathly pale. ’Who could possibly stand against a being like that?’

Xia Chuan nodded and said gravely, "And that’s not all. I’ve heard that all four of Southeast Asia’s monstrous prodigies have been mobilized. If beings like that show up, do you think my meager abilities can hold them off?

I can’t!

More importantly, you don’t listen to me anyway, so there’s no point in me staying here. I might as well go find a nice spot and bury myself. At least then I won’t have to see the people of Malaysia suffer, and I won’t have to watch the kingdom our Xia family worked so hard to build be destroyed in your hands!"

With that, he turned and prepared to leave again.

Xia Xingyu quickly blocked Xia Chuan’s path. Just as she was about to speak, Xia Yanran ran in. She looked at Xia Xingyu, her face pale, and said:

"Sister, Prince Li Zhe of Yue Country has reached the eastern gate. He’s sent a message, demanding the citizens of the city hand you over. He wants to capture you for a ghost marriage to that dead bastard Li Hao. If he doesn’t see you within an hour, he will flatten Malaysia!"

"He wants to use me for a ghost marriage? How audacious!" Xia Xingyu trembled with rage. She whirled around to face Xia Chuan and said through gritted teeth:

"Grandfather, this Li Zhe has gone too far..."

But before she could finish, Xia Chuan cut her off without hesitation.

"Don’t look at me. I already told you, I can’t handle them. I’m going to find a place, dig a hole, and bury myself!"

"Grandfather..." Xia Xingyu quickly stopped Xia Chuan, so anxious that tears were about to fall.

At that moment, Xia Yanran looked at Xia Xingyu and said with a frown:

"Sister, the enemy has mobilized several old fiends this time, and they have an army of twenty million. To be blunt, Grandfather really can’t stop them.

Right now, the only one who can repel this powerful enemy is Ye Feng. So you should just go and beg him!"

"Me? Beg him?" Xia Xingyu’s eyes flew wide as she stared at Xia Yanran. "I, the dignified Queen of Malaysia, should go and beg him? How could I bear the humiliation!"

Xia Chuan let out a cold laugh. "That’s right. She is Her Majesty the Queen. Her status is noble. She would rather be captured by Li Zhe and forced into a ghost marriage with that dead Li Hao than lower herself to beg Ye Feng!

Forget it. She doesn’t listen to us anyway, so what’s the use of us being here? Let’s go!"

He then took Xia Yanran’s hand and turned to leave.

"Grandfather! Yanran! Don’t go!" Xia Xingyu hurried over to stop them. She grabbed Xia Yanran’s hand and hesitated for a long time before finally saying with a blush:

"Yanran, why don’t... why don’t you go and ask Ye Feng to come and help us?"

Xia Yanran hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Sister, for Malaysia, and for you, I am willing to go!"

Hearing this, a happy smile spread across Xia Xingyu’s face. "Yanran, you’ve really grown up. You know how to help share my burdens now. Go quickly and come back soon. We only have one hour!"

Xia Yanran nodded and turned to leave.

Xia Chuan took a swig of wine and sneered. "Stop with these petty tricks. I guarantee you, Xia Yanran’s trip will be for nothing!"

Xia Xingyu: "..."
