The person on the table stood with his back facing away from him, his figure was straight like a pine tree, just by standing there, he already possessed a supreme might, and currently, the only person with the aura of a king was Jun Tianxia.
"Subordinate Lord Zheng greets the Emperor." Hua Ruge bowed slightly, bowing neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Because she was not the king of her own country, she did not kneel.
Jun Tianxia turned around, his blue robe gave off a sharp aura, and he said: "Lord of The Wah does not need to be so courteous."
Hua Ruge straightened his body and looked at him.
This was the first time she was so close to him. Looking at him now, she was really a handsome guy without a blind spot, a little tougher than Tuoba Rui.
This was the first time Jun Tianxia had ever seen someone so unscrupulously sizing himself up, and the deep look in his eyes didn't express any emotion. He said: "Today, Japan invited Lord of The Wah here for two matters."
"I'm all ears." Hua Ruge nodded.
Although she looked respectful on the surface, her eyes were very casual. It could be seen that even when facing Jun Tianxia, she did not show any signs of fear.
"I heard that Lord of The Wah recently obtained the Upper Nether Realm's Imperial Jade Seal?" Jun Tianxia went straight to the point.
Hua Ruge knew that this was his territory and nothing could be hidden from him, so she did not hide it and said: "Monarchs are well-informed, and are indeed here."
"The Imperial Jade Seal can be considered a treasure, but it is useless in the hands of the Lord of The Wah. I wonder if you are willing to exchange it with me?" Jun Tianxia asked, his eyes were deep, no one could understand what he was thinking.
Hua Ruge also knew that the greatest use of this object in her hands was to feed it to the Devouring Beast, but such a thing wouldn't allow her to break through the bottleneck. She thought for a moment, then said: "If the Monarch can find a natural spirit object for me, I'll hand over the Imperial Jade Seal with both hands."
"Spiritual Being?" Jun Tianxia muttered to himself.
Hua Ruge was just about to state his interests, but he did not expect Jun Tianxia to say first: "Okay."
"Monarch, you are bold." Hua Ruge praised sincerely.
Jun Tianxia stared at her and did not say a word.
"Since the Monarch is so happy, I won't be unreasonable." Hua Ruge took out the jade box, walked forward and placed it on the table, then said, "I will leave the things here with the Monarch. The Monarch has found the Spiritual Being and sent someone to deliver it to me."
Seeing her like that, admiration flashed past Jun Tianxia's eyes.
It was truly rare for a woman to have such a sharp eye.
"This Monarch will definitely not disappoint the Lord of The Wah." Jun Tianxia said, his voice softer than before.
Hua Ruge once again stood in front of her and asked: "I wonder what the second matter is for Monarch?"
Jun Tianxia pondered for a moment, then asked: "Lord of The Wah hasn't had lunch yet, right?"
Hua Ruge subconsciously nodded his head, but before he could think about what the following matter had to do with eating.
"It's just about time for dinner. Let's eat together." After Jun Tianxia finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the rear hall.
Hua Ruge stared blankly for a moment, then chased after him and said: "I feel that it's better if we finish the discussion before we leave."
She was a little confused now, so she did not pay much attention to etiquette when she spoke.
"It's time." Jun Tianxia only said this one sentence.
Hua Ruge was conflicted: "I'm just afraid that my mouth will be soft, at that time, I'll be too embarrassed to reject your request."
"That's for the best." Jun Tianxia said as he walked into the dining hall behind him.
Hua Ruge did not manage to react at all, and was invited by the maid to sit down.
The table was round, and the two of them sat opposite each other at one end.
The imperial cuisine began to be served one by one.
"Monarch, the High Priest is still outside. Why don't we invite her in to eat with us?" Hua Ruge suggested.
After Jun Tianxia washed his hands, he said while wiping them, "There will be someone to serve the High Priest for food."
Hua Ruge couldn't understand what he wanted to do, so she just ignored him. Since she had a thick skin, even if she ate, she wouldn't be able to refuse.
With the imperial meals all assembled, and the palace maids preparing the dishes, Hua Ruge directly said to the palace maid who would give him a little food each time: "There's no need to trouble yourself, I'll do it myself."
Eating imperial meals in the palace was something special, so the palace maid gave Jun Tianxia a difficult look, and only withdrew after seeing Jun Tianxia's nod.
Hua Ruge was more free to eat, and regardless of how others looked at him, he started to heartily eat from the side of the delicacy.
She had never had any resistance towards delicious food, and the taste of Da Yu's imperial cuisine was indeed not bad, causing her to have an appetite.
Jun Tianxia saw that Hua Ruge, who had just entered the palace and had at least understood the etiquette, was now completely free to eat.
This was definitely the most proficient girl he had ever seen.
Halfway through eating, Jun Tianxia put down his chopsticks, washed his hands, and said: "This sovereign will now speak of the second matter."
"After you're done eating, just say if you're living a life of your own." Hua Ruge said as he was gnawing on the chicken leg, not stopping to listen to what he had to say at all.
Jun Tianxia had indeed never been merciful to anyone before, and it was the same this time. He directly said, "The position of the empress of Da Yu is empty, there's still not a single person from the imperial concubine."
"You want me to protect you?" Hua Ruge asked vaguely, but she quickly thought of one possibility.
Su Nianxia had liked Jun Tianxia for a long time, so maybe Jun Tianxia knew about it too. He invited him to a meal because he was afraid that he would not agree.
Therefore, without waiting for Jun Tianxia to speak, she said: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will definitely help you bring Xia Xia over, but it has to be in the back.
Jun Tianxia looked at her, deep in thought.
"You don't even have to think about being my concubine." Hua Ruge added.
"As long as you marry me, the empress of Da Yu, to you." Jun Tianxia said in a straightforward manner.
Before Hua Ruge could laugh, he said again, "However, this sovereign wants you."
Ga!
Hua Ruge was startled, the chicken leg in his hands fell onto the table, and his entire body still maintained the posture of chewing on it.
She felt that the brains of the people on Earth couldn't understand Jun Tianxia's brain. What kind of logic is this?
Even someone as tyrannical as Tuoba Rui would not do such a thing, right?
Jun Tianxia predicted her reaction, and without any change in his expression, he only said: "Lord of The Wah can consider, or exchange it with any conditions you wish to."
"You don't like me, do you?" Hua Ruge could tell from his expression.
Although Tuoba Rui was tyrannical, he wouldn't ignore her feelings. Jun Tianxia however, seemed to be completing a kind of ceremony, a process that he had to go through, and one could not see any emotions in his eyes.
Jun Tianxia answered truthfully, "Yes."
"Bro, you should go check out your brain." Hua Ruge left these words behind, then turned and left.
