Chapter 139: Walking Sideways
The Third Prince felt like he was dreaming.
Wait a minute, because he has a ton of enemies, these two Kings of Hell just recognized him as their son?
If he ever meets them again, he could just say, “I’ve got a lot of enemies,” and poof—no more dying multiple times, right?
He didn’t know why, but just thinking about it made the Third Prince want to cry.
At least he had somewhat nonsensically accepted two new fathers.
“I’m your son now, so you can’t keep beating me up, right?” The Third Prince thought to himself.
However, what left him in disbelief was the fact that being a son of the Kings of Hell came with some serious perks.
For starters, Big Dad gifted him a storage bag, and inside were pills with beautiful pill patterns on them.
There was a pill for everything.
Then Little Dad planted a mysterious seed inside him.
According to Little Dad, this seed would guarantee he wouldn’t die three times. After that, he could just get him another one.
What the heck?
Not to mention, the curse in his body shattered into pieces once he acknowledged these two as his fathers.
Gone for good, not sealed like what the Nangong family had.
That meant he could cultivate again.
And he had the best cultivation resources at his disposal.
The Third Prince thought he might actually be dreaming because, truly, like that fortune teller said, his future looked limitless.
With the abilities of these two fathers, the Third Prince was suddenly tempted to live the life of a spoiled rich kid.
As for why he ended up getting beaten and didn’t receive any healing, well, that was because Zhao Gou had a ton of merit.
“Hey, you’re my first acknowledged son, so bring out your treasured artifact—your dad will upgrade it for you!”
Then came the awkward moment.
The Third Prince pulled out a Fang Tian Hua Ji (a type of halberd).
Instantly, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou went silent.
“Damn, you really use a Fang Tian Hua Ji?”
“I’ll beat you to death for being such an ungrateful son!”
“Saving lives!”
“Helping the injured!”
The Third Prince cried.
Because when these two Kings of Hell said they’d beat him to death, they really meant it.
Die and come back, then die again.
By the time he left, he was half dead.
But hey, as a son of the Kings of Hell, his status was no joke.
After both fathers left, they left him with thirty thousand members of the Hall of Yama.
When the Third Prince saw thirty thousand people descend from the sky, he almost wet himself.
Especially when he saw them munching on Divine Grievance; it felt like his entire worldview shattered.
And he finally understood.
He was now part of an incredibly powerful organization.
Somehow, he had become the young master of the Hall of Yama.
That was a monumental rise.
In fact, he shot up so fast that it almost gave him whiplash.
As for his plans, plotting, forget about it.
Now he was the young master of the Hall of Yama; he could just follow Big Dad around.

“Third Prince!”
Ji Suying’s voice pulled the Third Prince’s thoughts back to reality.
Regaining his composure, the Third Prince asked, “I want to know what your relationship is with these two?”
Ji Suying smiled slightly.
“These are my fellow disciples; I value them highly!”
The Third Prince paused, suddenly understanding the hidden meaning behind her words.
She probably had no clue how impressive his two ‘living’ fathers were.
Since they didn’t say anything, he couldn’t expose anything either.
So he just nodded, “Alright, it’s a small matter!”
Seeing the Third Prince agree, Ji Suying sighed with relief.
However, when her gaze fell upon the gold-inlaid jade tokens on the table, Ji Suying narrowed her eyes.
“Third Prince, your methods are quite impressive! Even though you’re in a Cave Heaven, the Hall of Yama has already established a foothold outside. I was wondering how a new Hall of Yama suddenly appeared; turns out it’s your doing!”
The Third Prince: “…”
His silence made Ji Suying misunderstand it as a form of affirmation.
“But I still want to ask, how confident are you in your plans?”
The Third Prince instinctively replied, “Ah? What plans?”
Ji Suying: “…”
Only then did the Third Prince remember his earlier plans.
Plans? What plans?
I’m now a son of the Kings of Hell.
But since my living fathers didn’t say anything, I can’t be too reckless.
“Um, I’m currently about ninety percent confident!”
Ji Suying nodded.
“Good, then I shall take my leave. If you need me for anything, please let me know!”
The Third Prince nodded.
After Ji Suying left, the Third Prince suddenly recalled something troublesome.
Many forbidden areas were about to open up.
After all those years of scheming against the Emperor of Great Yan, he knew that before the forbidden areas opened, the Emperor was bound to send the Hidden Dragon Guard to assassinate him.
And they would be in their physical Nascent Soul stage.
With the Emperor’s decree in hand, he wouldn’t even have the ability to mobilize his authority in the Cave Heaven.
Watching Ji Suying walk away, the Third Prince quickly shut the door.
Then he quietly asked, “Is anyone there?”
“Boom~”
In an instant, countless blood-red eyes opened in the Third Prince’s room.
They were densely packed, watching the Third Prince’s pale face.
“Um, recently the Emperor’s Hidden Dragon Guards are gunning for me; I wanted to…”
Before the Third Prince could finish, someone remarked, “Got it!”
Then all the eyes closed.
The Third Prince: “???”
Three hours later.
Knock Knock Knock…
A mountain of corpses piled up in front of the Third Prince.
One of the members of the Hall of Yama looked somewhat helpless.
“I intended to wipe them all out, but there were twelve who were close to the Emperor, and their strength was formidable. We really couldn’t get them, so we’ll probably need to call your Dad for that.”
The Third Prince stood there, staring at the pile of corpses in bewilderment.
He just wanted to eliminate one person.
But what he got instead was that the Hidden Dragon Guards, aside from twelve, were all wiped out?
What the hell!
Am I really that impressive now?
The Third Prince scratched his head.
“I’d like to ask, can I now strut around like a boss?”
The Hall of Yama member shook his head.
“It’s better to keep a low profile; while the Hall of Yama is strong, we’re not at a level where we can just push through the Cave Heaven. But the Great King and the Second King are likely plotting something. Once their plans are set, you could probably run around naked without anyone daring to say a word.”
The Third Prince coughed lightly.
“Not quite there, but can you give me a breakdown of how much leeway I’ve got to be a playboy?”
The Hall of Yama member thought for a moment.
“Currently, there’s only one major figure at your father’s level you shouldn’t provoke. Beyond that, you can do as you please, but avoid bullying the weak and acting recklessly, or else your father might just swoop in to ‘save lives and heal the injured’!”
The moment he heard “saving lives and healing the injured,” the Third Prince shivered all over.
“I understand!”
After a moment of thought, the Third Prince asked again, “Can you tell me what kind of people my two Kings of Hell fathers are?”
Instantly, the Hall of Yama member provided an assessment.
“The Great King is straightforward and truly a gentleman, while the Second King is genuinely a good person who saves the suffering!”
The Third Prince: “…”
