Chapter 166 I'm Going to Be the Emperor!!
The space within the palace rippled and twisted, then a hole appeared in the barrier's light screen, and two figures walked in. One was an exceptionally handsome young man in white robes, and the other was a dashing man in black robes.
Upon entering, they found the palace completely wrecked. The walls were cracked, pillars lay fallen, the floor was riddled with craters, and the furnishings were shattered beyond recognition. The palace hadn't collapsed entirely thanks to a powerful sealing barrier.
Gu Yan was speechless.
How angry are they?
Amidst the ruins stood a massive coffin, remarkably similar to the one Gu Yan had seen before at Youyun Mountain. He and Dugu Xun exchanged a glance, then both walked towards the coffin.
Gu Yan and Dugu Xun avoided the mess on the ground and walked to the coffin. Dugu Xun knocked on the coffin lid: "Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa."
"Shut up!!"
An angry child's voice came from inside.
"Grandpa, are you planning to stay in there forever?"
"Get out, I don't want to see you."
"Grandpa, I brought Zirong to see you."
"Zirong, I won't see him either. He's not nice to me anymore."
A gurgling sound came from inside the coffin.
Dugu Xun: "..."
"Brother, move aside for a moment," Gu Yan suddenly said.
Dugu Xun stepped aside, and Gu Yan unleashed a golden beam of light towards the coffin. The coffin shattered with a deafening roar, and from the billowing dust, a handsome little boy with silver hair and purple eyes flew out. The boy, dressed in white, angrily clenched his small fists.
"you……"
He glared at Gu Yan through gritted teeth.
The peerless handsome young man in white smiled innocently, and Dugu Yun, looking at that breathtakingly beautiful face, felt his anger melt away like cream. Faced with Gu Yan's smile, there were probably very few in all the realms of existence who could still muster such a temper.
"Zirong, even you are bullying me!!" Dugu Yun said angrily.
"Senior Yun, what makes you say that?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.
"I just wanted to get some sleep, and you blew up my coffin. Can't I even sleep?"
Dugu Yun glared at Dugu Xun in a fit of rage, "Others raise grandsons, so I raise grandsons too. My grandson actually tried to steal the throne from his grandfather! What a waste of all the years I've doted on him! He's such an ungrateful wretch! I should have strangled him when he was a child."
Dugu Xun felt very wronged: "This was my great-grandfather's decision, it has nothing to do with me."
"Don't try to play innocent with me. He asked you to do it, so you did. Can't you refuse?"
"I refused, but my great-grandfather said I was unfilial."
"You're fighting your own grandfather for the throne, and you're not even filial to your parents."
Dugu Xun: "..."
"You little brat, you say one thing and do another behind people's backs. You're secretly pleased that you're emperor. I don't want your hypocrisy, you disobedient and unfilial little brat."
The handsome little boy with silver hair pointed at Dugu Xun and cursed. Dugu Xun sighed and said, "Think whatever you want."
"Oh, you admit it, Zirong, look, he admitted it. He bullied me, he bullied me with that old man, waaaaaah..."
The little boy burst into tears as he spoke.
Gu Yan: "..."
Dugu Xun: "..."
The handsome little silver-haired boy initially floated in the sky crying, his cries deafening, his tears flowing like a tap turned on. As he cried, he rolled on the ground, crying as he rolled.
Dugu Xun wanted to cover his face when he saw this.
Gu Yan's lips twitched. If he were Dugu Yeli, he would not have passed his family's throne to such a guy.
What a shame.
Hey, you're millions of years old, you have sons and grandsons, where exactly is your age?
"Brother, why don't you go out for a bit? I want to have a private chat with Senior Yun," Gu Yan said to Dugu Xun.
"You, alone?"
Dugu Xun remembered Dugu Yun harassing Gu Yan and was very worried.
"It's alright, you can go out for a bit." Gu Yan patted Dugu Xun's shoulder.
Dugu Xun hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the creature rolling around on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, before finally going outside. However, he remained standing outside, ready to rush in at the first sign of trouble.
After Dugu Xun left, Dugu Yun stopped crying.
A little boy with silver hair and purple eyes sat on the ground, his eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful. Gu Yan wanted to find a chair to sit on, but found that there wasn't a single intact chair around. Finally, he sat down on a collapsed pillar, looking down at Dugu Yun as she handed him a handkerchief.
Dugu Yun took the handkerchief and wiped his face and blew his nose without any regard for appearances.
"Does Senior Yun really enjoy being an emperor that much?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.
"I love it! I love it so much! I love being the emperor! I want to be the emperor!!" Dugu Yun said, his young face puffed up with anger.
"I want to be the emperor! I want to be the emperor! I'm going to be the emperor!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke.
"What's so great about being an emperor? Whether you're an emperor or not, you're still Senior Dugu Yeli's only son. After your brother died, you'll be his only son. Whatever you want, Senior Yeli will definitely find a way to get it for you. Even if your brother becomes the emperor of the Tianyin Empire, can he really surpass you?"
"Do you think that if your brother becomes emperor, he will become unfilial? Your brother is not that kind of person. Wealth, power, beauty, cultivation resources, status—whether you become emperor or not, it's all the same. Why do you have to become emperor?" Gu Yan said.
"Because I've never been one," Dugu Yun said.
Gu Yan looked at Dugu Yun's face and listened to him continue:
"My brother and I have been rivals since we were little. I'm clearly better than him, but the old man is biased; he always sides with my brother. Everyone says the strong are respected, so why did he pass the position to my brother and not me?"
Gu Yan couldn't help but complain in her heart, because your brother wouldn't be throwing a tantrum on the ground at millions of years old.
Dugu Yeli's eldest son, Dugu Ye, was slightly inferior to Dugu Yun in aptitude, but although Dugu Yun was a bit ahead, their strength was not much different. After Dugu Yun left the Jade Wave Continent, Dugu Ye cultivated diligently and even surpassed Dugu Yun.
More than 100,000 years ago, Dugu Ye had already reached the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Saint realm. He tried to break through to the Spirit Emperor realm several times but failed. On his last attempt, he perished due to a qi deviation.
Dugu Yun had been living a leisurely life on the Miro Continent, which delayed his cultivation considerably. Although he was now in the late stage of the Spirit Saint realm, with his talent, he should have been able to break through to the Spirit Emperor realm long ago.
Anyone in Dugu Yeli's position would choose the more stable eldest son to inherit the throne. Everyone can see this, except for Dugu Yun, who chooses to be selectively blind.
He doesn't want to look for the cause within himself.
