#1893 - Chu Hao and the King's Bet

Chu Hao's sudden appearance caught the king off guard.

His brain raced, thinking this guy was here to ask for his child back, and immediately said, "Don't worry, I will return your child to you."

Chu Hao sneered, "Have you ever wondered why your health is declining so quickly?"

The king looked embarrassed and whispered, "Didn't you already say?"

"Yes, I said you were being drained of your yang energy. How were you drained?" Chu Hao continued to ask.

"This…" The king was a little unable to answer.

Chu Hao looked at him like he was an idiot, speechless. "You're being drained by a demon! The woman you're favoring is a demon."

"Impossible, how could she be a demon?" The king immediately retorted.

"Then why are you in this ghostly state now?" Chu Hao said mockingly.

"It's because I lack self-control," the king replied.

"Self-control? Can't you see that this method is wrong?" Chu Hao said, casually sitting down on a chair, calmly looking at him, "Your concubine and your father-in-law are both demons, planning to kill you together and then seize this country."

He thought this king must have a problem with his brain, otherwise how could he be so stupid?

"I don't believe it. The medicine I took really has an effect," the king said earnestly.

"But you didn't use a medicinal primer," Chu Hao retorted.

After these two demons drained the king's yang energy, in order to trick him into making the entire Bhikshu Kingdom a chaotic mess, they deliberately told him there was a medicine for immortality.

The medicine that the father-in-law brought from overseas, so-called, was actually useless. It was just that the female demon secretly returned a little yang energy to the king to prolong his life.

After all, if he died just like that, the father-in-law wouldn't have control of the power yet, and he wouldn't be able to control the country.

So, this father-in-law had good intentions.

First, he used the so-called medicinal primer as a facade, causing the people of the entire Bhikshu Kingdom to complain, thereby making everyone lose confidence in the king.

"It's because I didn't use a medicinal primer that I sometimes turn back to my original state," the king said with certainty.

Chu Hao naturally knew these were all fake. He directly said, "Stop your actions, and I can help you eliminate the demons."

This was already Chu Hao being benevolent and righteous. If it were someone else, they would have slapped the other person to death.

To be able to do this much was also for the sake of Tang Sanzang.

It's a pity that this king, although seemingly old and weak, was actually extremely arrogant at heart.

Faced with Chu Hao's words, he immediately refused, "I don't believe you. You breaking into my palace late at night is clearly for ulterior motives."

After speaking, he hugged the quilt and continued, "I will kill those more than a thousand children, and then I can become immortal."

"Are you sure?" Chu Hao asked again.

He found that this guy didn't respond to gentle persuasion.

"I'm sure," the king said earnestly.

However, the next second, Chu Hao punched him directly.

This punch came suddenly, and the king, whose body was already failing, couldn't react at all. His face was directly hit hard.

"Ouch." The king covered his face and wailed, with blood flowing from his nose.

The pain made him much more sober, and he immediately realized that his current situation was really worrying, so he chose to remain silent.

Chu Hao knew that this guy wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin, so he immediately mocked, "Call your father-in-law over, and I'll prove to you that he's a demon."

The king remained silent.

"Still want to be beaten?" Chu Hao raised his fist.

The king was so frightened that he quickly curled up and backed away.

But behind him was the wall, and he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to.

So, he mustered his courage and said, "Let me tell you, the father-in-law's identity is special."

"What's so special about him?" Chu Hao deliberately asked.

"He knows immortal techniques. He's a very strong person. If he finds out you're slandering him, I'm telling you, you will definitely die," the king said, and then added, "If you just leave, I can pretend nothing happened and won't tell the father-in-law."

It seemed that this father-in-law had already shown the other party some of his unknown methods, and it was these methods that made this king trust him so wholeheartedly.

Chu Hao thought this guy was short-sighted.

So, he said, "How about I make a bet with you?"

"What bet?" the king asked.

"This bet is very simple. I will prove to you that your father-in-law is a demon. You just need to call him over," Chu Hao smiled.

"What if you lose?" the king asked.

"Lose? Then I'll dig out my heart and give it to you," Chu Hao said calmly.

These words actually meant that he was betting with his life.

"What if I lose?" The king didn't expect this guy to play so big, and immediately asked vigilantly.

After all, if the other party also wanted his heart, he wouldn't agree.

Seeming to see through the other party's thoughts, Chu Hao smiled, "Don't worry, I don't want your heart. You'll know when the time comes. Just call your father-in-law over."

The king pondered, guessing that since this guy could come to his palace silently, he must have some strength.

If he called the father-in-law over, it would be good to protect himself, and it would be even better if he could get rid of the other party.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and was about to give the order.

"Your Majesty…" Just then, a pleasant voice came from outside.

It was the young woman who seduced the king, as the post station chief had said earlier.

"Let her in," Chu Hao immediately said coldly when he saw the king hesitating and not knowing how to speak.

Helplessly, the king had to say, "My beloved concubine, come in."

"Okay." The person outside the door immediately pushed it open and entered.

It was a hot beauty with a charming smile, holding medicine in her hand. As soon as she entered, she saw Chu Hao.

The moment she saw the other party, her face changed drastically, "Who are you?"

"I'm here to catch you," Chu Hao smiled.

The woman suddenly realized that something was wrong. She immediately threw away the things in her hand and turned to run.

Then, at the moment she threw away the things, time suddenly stopped with a bang.

Chu Hao got up calmly, walked to the woman, put the bowl that had been thrown away aside, and then grabbed the woman and threw her aside.

The moment she was thrown out, time resumed again.

"I suddenly remembered that your beloved concubine seems to be able to prove it too," Chu Hao said with a smile.

Seeing this scene, the king hurriedly ran from the bed to the woman in a panic, hugging her and saying, "Don't hurt my beloved concubine."
