Chapter 155: Senior Yong’s Move is Too Ruthless
(GOOGLE SEARCH TWKAN)
Sigh, friend, are you directly aiming for the Rose Throne? That’s quite bold.
Miya couldn’t help but guess Jiali’s ambition. This fellow Bloodline compatriot had never hidden her arrogance and objectives, making it clear she intended to advance.
Any young, ambitious Elder of the Scarlet would naturally have aspirations for the Rose Throne; it was only logical.
Even Miya herself couldn’t claim to be entirely without such thoughts. She was simply more sober, not obsessing over the honor of the Primal King. As long as the Scarlet could keep pace in this new succession war, she would accept whoever became the head of the Rose Garden.
Jiali certainly intended to win over the Shuoyue Family. The most crucial condition for becoming the Primal King was to gain the recognition of all Scarlet Bloodline lineages, whether through coercion, temptation, charm, or even the threat of a blade.
Support was essential, of course. Without it, a single family could never ascend to the Rose Throne.
“Are you asking for my support?”
Miya mused, her gloved hand on her chin, and asked, “For someone who has just become an Elder, this seems rather hasty. What gives the Qianhong Family the confidence to extend such an olive branch?”
“Because I will inevitably ascend to the Rose Throne. This isn’t a speculation or a desire; it’s a foregone conclusion.”
Jiali wrapped an arm around Yonglan’s neck, leaning back and placing her full weight on him as she cheerfully spun around and laughed. “Because I possess such Destiny, unstoppable, irreversible, and I am bound to reach the pinnacle!”
The silver-haired, purple-eyed girl was naturally referring to Yonglan’s choice and endorsement as the “Primal King.” How could an assistant to the Primal King’s return to the Boundless Land be mediocre?!
Leading a race was the most basic prerequisite. I’ll name a price: at least the Rose Throne! The sky’s the limit!
You truly are confident!
Miya’s expression almost broke into a sweating emoji.
She cleared her throat twice and said, “Destiny… If this Dragonborn’s sister said it, it would be quite convincing. But as it stands, I don’t see you having a guaranteed victory.”
Miya felt it necessary to analyze the situation for her Bloodline compatriot.
“Granted, within the Rose Garden, only Bloodlines have the right to compete until the end. Not every family has Bloodlines, but even among those with Bloodlines and led by them, there are no less than ten. To be blunt, the Qianhong Family doesn’t have anything particularly outstanding among them.”
“Just a force of Demonkin? They are indeed elite, and a power that cannot be overlooked on any battlefield. But on the battlefield for the Rose Throne… it’s not enough, far from enough.”
The black-haired, red-eyed Vampire young lady shook her head and said tactfully.
Yonglan, however, expressed a different opinion. “Is that so? I think the chances of winning are quite high. Especially by recruiting other families, we can settle it in one go.”
Miya tilted her head in confusion. “Hmm? What do you mean?”
Yonglan: “Duels. What about duels?”
Ha, I thought it was something else.
Miya’s spirit immediately deflated. She smiled politely. “Duels aren’t a universal solution. What kind of stakes would you use to entice them?”
Although the races of the Boundless Land were quite martial, and dueling was a prevalent custom, they rarely refused a duel invitation from an opponent of the same rank. Placing a bet was also a reasonable matter.
However, if the stakes of the duel were too heavy, even the most reckless individuals would become cautious and outright refuse, seeing no need to risk everything on a single battle.
Matters like establishing a Rose Throne required extreme caution. Any rational Elder of a family would not pledge allegiance through duels; it was far too childish.
Unless… the Qianhong Family could offer something that motivated others to disregard all consequences, an irresistible enticement that made the prize of the duel incredibly alluring.
But was there such a prize? Even if the stakes were equal, and the Qianhong Family pledged allegiance to the victor, it wouldn’t be that tempting. After all, not every family harbored ambitions for the Rose Throne.
As Miya pondered, Yonglan asked again, “Speaking of which, this generation of Bloodlines… most of them are outstanding, gifted young women, right?”
“That’s correct. As far as I know, the vast majority of this generation’s Bloodlines are women of roughly the same age.”
“Then there’s no problem.”
Yonglan smiled casually. “Because I will use myself as the stake. Is that enough weight?”
“??!!”
This time, it wasn’t just Miya. Even Jiali and Enesyin were somewhat surprised. After all, Yonglan hadn’t brought this up with them before. Was it a sudden whim, or something else?
Miya was silent for a long moment and then asked, “…Am I understanding that correctly?”
“What else would it be?”
Yonglan stated directly: “Let me, or Ain, or Jiali, challenge them to a one-on-one fight. If we win, they will support the Lord of Qianhong to ascend to the Rose Throne. If we lose…”
The man spread his hands and said, “I will be at their mercy.”

He said something incredibly significant with such ease.
But Yonglan wasn’t speaking recklessly. It was the result of careful consideration.
After learning that he “very likely” was the “Primal King,” Yonglan could clearly trace the cause and effect and gained a full understanding of the behavioral patterns of modern races.
If the creations of the new century were his “offspring,” then not only would their appearances conform to his preferences, but their core spirits would also be highly consistent with his own.
Even if they knew he was the “Avatar of the First King,” these guys wouldn’t immediately worship the “Primal King” as an idol. Instead, they would greedily seek to extract benefits.
Heh heh, they definitely want to bring the “Primal King” to his knees!
The more arrogant and talented individuals were, the more they would harbor such “rebellious” thoughts. The temptation rooted deep in their genes was simply irresistible.
“This… is indeed difficult to refuse, but it’s a double-edged sword.”
Miya had to admit that Yonglan’s move was truly ruthless.
Hearing such a condition, she looked at the man before her and couldn’t help but swallow. The desire she had managed to quell just yesterday surged fiercely, wildly, uncontrollably at this moment!
She even wished she could agree immediately and be the first challenger, carrying this man who haunted her dreams back for an intense session.
“If we don’t lose, it’s not a double-edged sword,”
Yonglan said with great confidence.
“I feel something is strange, like I’m being underestimated, but oh well.”
Jiali shrugged and said, “I should have been unhappy, but I’ll consider it a special method for ascending the throne at the earliest opportunity.”
