Chapter 594 Ruthren\'s Announcement
"Ugh! Why is that pervert showing us his underwear?"
"Eww…his underwear is pink in color!"
"Is he trying to crossdress?"
"I thought he was so handsome and noble. But now he seems like a weirdo!"
The mumbles and whispers of the noblewomen in the grand hall were the loudest and the ones Luthan heard first, making him feel like his face was burning hot.
He had never felt so mortified in his life before. Feeling that he had lost all face, he immediately used his movement arts to disappear from the spot, though people were still silently laughing and mocking him.
The other geniuses were glad that he made a fool out of himself and that too in front of the Celestial Princess.
But they were finding it strange that Luthan was not the first, but some other geniuses had their pants falling off when they were talking to the Moon Princess of the Gale Empire.
They wondered who was going around and removing their pants since they were afraid they might be the next. So some were even afraid to approach the two beauties since they didn\'t want to lose face like Luthen and the others.
Lily had to control herself from not giggling, especially after seeing what happened, and immediately turned to look at Yuria, who was walking towards her with a smile.
Lily already knew about Yuria being Damien\'s woman and was happy to meet her here, "Princess Yuria, thank you for saving me from all that," Lily said in a relieved tone.
"Come on, sister. You can just call me Yuria. No need for any formalities between us, especially when we both belong to the same man," Yuria said with a wink, though nobody else was able to hear what these two were talking about.
Lily subtly blushed upon Yuria saying something like that so blatantly, though she was becoming fond of Yuria already. She could see why someone like Damien would fall in love with her.
The Krisen King noticed how the pants of so many reputed geniuses were falling off and inwardly chuckled, knowing that it was his daughter and was happy that she was doing it to help out a fellow sister.
He had already heard about the rumors of Lily having a relationship with Damien at the time when he was her gardener. However, these rumors were contained within a tight circle and were not leaked to the public.
*TING!*
Suddenly, everyone gradually lowered their voices the moment a resonating sound echoed from the front.
"Can I have everyone\'s attention?" The Xeton Emperor asked in a majestic tone as he stood on the platform in the front.
Everyone immediately became silent the moment they saw it was the Xeton Emperor, and they also saw that the other three rulers were also standing beside him.
This made them realize that the Xeton Emperor was going to announce something very important that may concern the entire continent.
Upon seeing that everyone became silent, the Xeton Emperor nodded with a subtle smile, "Now that I have everybody\'s attention, I want to announce something very important that could change our lives. I reckon you must all have heard about the rumors surrounding the Gateway of the Gods. With the help of our experts, we were able to determine that the gateway would soon open within two or three months."
People\'s gasps echoed in the hall as all of them finally learned when the gateway was finally going to open.
They all had heard about the rumors surrounding this mysterious gateway that led to a mysterious world and how various powerful treasures coupled with the fact that the ethereal air in that world was way more profound and richer than theirs.
Who wouldn\'t want to break through their bottlenecks by cultivating in such an environment and also get the chance to possess powerful treasures that could make them an unrivaled expert?
Ruthren subtly smiled, seeing how everybody seemed excited and surprised about the news, and continued, "And the next good thing is that anybody can enter this gateway as long as they are determined to reach the peak of the Ethereal Way. Only people with such determination will gain any benefits on the other side of the gateway. So, I am announcing this now to let you all prepare yourselves for a long journey to the other side. Be prepared to face anything and explore the unknown world. And you all will not be alone. We, the leaders of our respective empires, would be coming along with you all as well to support you all. It is our wish to see our people prosper and cultivate themselves to a higher level. That will be all from me, for now," Saying so, Ruthren ended his announcement while the entire grand hall was drowned with excited murmurs of people, especially the geniuses discussing the gateway.
Olivia had an expression filled with anticipation of visiting the other side, while the Lancaster Emperor had a serious, contemplative expression, wondering if lying to the people was the right thing, especially when they had no idea what was on the other side, though he knew powerful treasures existed on the other side.
But more than this, he knew there was no choice but to explore the other side at any costs.
The Gale Emperor already knew about all this, but right now, he was thinking about something else as he took a subtle glance at the Krisen King before stepping forward, "Everyone, there is one more small thing I have to announce on behalf of the Krisen King."
Everyone again stopped talking the moment they heard the Gale Emperor.
The Krisen King firmly clenched the chalice in his hand when he realized that the Gale Emperor was up to no good and was getting a bad feeling about this.
Yuria\'s expression also became taut the moment she saw the Gale Emperor mention her father.
The Gale Emperor inwardly smirked, seeing the expression of the Krisen King before saying, "Since all the respected nobles from every empire have gathered here, the Krisen King had discussed with me to announce a small tournament to decide the victor who would win the hand of his daughter."
