Chapter 139 - Removing the Parasite

"What an unfortunate turn of events. To think that Mesa Uchiha was not only alive, but that he has taken away your bride, your clan's greatest treasure and left you behind with nothing, expect humiliation and the knowledge that you are now the Blue Wind Empire's greatest laughingstock."

After saying what he wanted, Emperor Cang Wanhe had ordered his palanquin to be taken back into the castle. Sitting there on the ground, Fen Juecheng was staring out into space ahead of him, not even registering what Emperor Cang Wanhe just said to him. The only thing on his mind was: 'Mesa Uchiha! I will kill you! I swear to everything that I will not rest until I have your head on a pike!'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once they had flown off into the distance and people weren't able to see them from the ground anymore, Mesa teleported himself and Cang Yue, who he still had in his arms, to the house he built for himself and Chu Yuechan in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and right into the bedroom.

Making the Divine Dividing's Scale Mail disappear, he had thrown her on the bed and got right on top of her and locked lips with her.

"mmm… mmm… God, you look so gorgeous." Said Mesa in between kisses.

"mm… Of course. I did it all for you." Said Cang Yue in between kisses.

Whilst they were kissing, Mesa had skillfully taken off all their clothes. And with his c.o.c.k rock hard, he immediately shoved it into Cang Yue's wet and eager p.u.s.s.y and he started pumping into her with great vigor.

And so for the next two hours, they f.u.c.k.i.e.d like horny rabbits in multiple positions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the Blue Wind Imperial Palace.

Mesa had teleported them back into the palace. By the time he and Cang Yue came back, the Burning Heaven Clan's bridal procession had left the city, and the palace servants were in a jovial mood. None of them had wanted to see princess Cang Yue get married to Fen Juecheng. But the show that they were treated to with Mesa swooping in, singlehandedly defeating the Burning Heaven Clan's bridal procession, stealing their most prized treasure, the Burning Soul Flower, and lastly, taking away Fen Juecheng's bride right before his eyes, was the show of a lifetime and one they wouldn't stop talking about for a long, long time.

Walking into the Palace side by side, they came across Third Prince Cang Shuo. And surprising no one, he looked like a grumpy cat walking alone in the palace gardens. In fact, he was in the process of leaving. Walking up to him, Cang Yue introduced them to each other with a smug smile on her face: "Mesa, this is my third royal brother Cang Shuo. Third royal brother, this is Mesa Uchiha. My future husband and current boyfriend."

"Ohh, it's his highness, the third prince. Greetings your royal highness. I remember that the third prince had just returned to the palace and now you're rushing out. Did something happen? Is there anything that I can help your royal highness with?" Said Mesa smugly, while his right arm was dr.a.p.ed over Cang Yue and she had her arms wrapped around Mesa.

Everything Cang Yue and Mesa said and the way they did while clinging to each other in front of him, just rubbed him the wrong way and angered him to no end. But with years of experience in political machinations, he knew how to keep a straight face in front of Cang Yue and Mesa, keeping all of his emotions sealed away for now behind a fake warm smile: "I only have some unimportant private matters to settle. No need for you to worry about."

"Sure." Replied Mesa incredulously. Not only was Cang Shuo one of the main culprits of the internal struggle for power, but he was also the one behind Fen Juecheng's marriage with Cang Yue. So it was pretty obvious that Mesa really didn't like him: "If your royal highness need some help, you need but ask me."

Cang Shuo could obviously feel the sarcasm in his words, he forced himself to laugh, saying: "I thank you for the compliment. I have to go, goodbye, next time we'll definitely…"

But before he could leave, Mesa asked him the question that he didn't want to hear: "Ohh, I have a question I need to ask your royal highness really quickly. Seeing as how Princess Cang Yue and I are going to tie the knot in the future, I wanted to ask you how your royal highness felt about it. Does your royal highness think I am more qualified than Fen Juecheng?"

Cang Shuo's face stiffened slightly before revealing an elated expression: "Of course! Brother Mesa is undoubtedly a most outstanding person and the most qualified person to marry my dear royal sister. As her royal and loving brother, I support this union with all my heart. And Fen Juecheng on the other hand. What even is Fen Juecheng compared to Brother Mesa? He is only trash that relies on the power of his clan. Compared to Brother Mesa, it's like comparing the clouds to mud."

And this whole time, Mesa gaze didn't leave Cang Shuo's eyes. While he knew that every word out of his mouth was worthless shit, but the way he delivered it with such vigor and with that straight face, made Mesa at the very least appreciate his diplomacy skills. If only he had directed them to help his father and sister, maybe he and Mesa would have been good friends. But alas, it was not be. And so, with a fake warm smile of his own, Mesa replied: "Thank you for the kind words your royal highness. On the day when I marry the princess, you must make sure to come and attend it. Me and the princess would very much appreciate it."

After he said his piece, Mesa and Cang Yue promptly walked past Cang Shuo further into the palace. While looking at their fading figures, he finally let his anger come bubbling to the surface. With a sneer, he muttered to himself: "You insolent fool! Making enemies of the Burning Heaven Clan. Do you really think you can live long enough to see the day that you will marry with my filthy traitorous bitch sister! Once the Burning Heaven Clan has killed you, I will make sure that that bitch is properly trained to become Fen Juecheng's obedient wife. And then I will finally take over the throne from that foolish father of mine!"

Once they were back inside the palace, they made a beeline straight to the Emperor's chambers. Emperor Cang Wanhe was back in his chambers and anxiously awaited their return. Once they had entered his chamber, he immediately and excitedly got up out of his chair and approached them with a big smile on his face: "Our dear daughter! There you are! We were getting worried about where Mesa had taken you to. We are so glad to see you're back again and fine!"

Even against the protests of Cang Yue, Emperor Cang Wanhe came up and enveloped his daughter in a mighty hug. After that he looked at Mesa with a very, very serious expression for a long time before he said: "It's a good thing, Mesa Uchiha, that you had sworn to marry our dearest daughter. If not, we would have used every power at our disposal and made sure that your life was a living hell."

Hearing this, both Cang Yue and Mesa were speechless. Eventually he managed to stammer out:" …Ex… cuse me…?

"Do not play dumb with us. We know what the two of you have been up to. Mesa Uchiha, our dear daughter is the most precious thing we have left in this world and the only thing to remind us of her mother, the love of our life. We will do everything we can for her honor and happiness. And we know that the two of you are in love with each other and you have promised to marry each other. But! We want you to reaffirm your commitment to our daughter in front of our eyes! Right here! Right now!" Said Emperor Cang Wanhe very serious and very threateningly. Cang Yue, on the other hand, had become red like a tomato and looked down, unable to meet her father's eyes. Mesa, on the other hand, was looking Emperor Cang Wanhe in the eyes with a serious gaze, only to be met back with an equally serious gaze. He could see that Emperor Cang Wanhe wouldn't relent on this issue and that his threat of making Mesa's life a living hell was serious. Even though his threat would not amount to much in the end, Mesa still very respected him. He showed that though he knew what he and Cang Yue had been doing, he let it slide because they would marry each other. And that because of Mesa, he felt stronger that he had been in years. But! He wanted to see right now, in front of eyes, that Mesa would swear that he would marry her.

And so, Mesa got on one knee, took Cang Yue's hand and proposed right there and then again, in front of the Emperor: "Princess Cang Yue. My love. Will you marry me?"

And with tears in her eyes, she wrapped her arms around Mesa and say 'YES!' multiple times.

And there on the side, was the Emperor nodding along approvingly: 'Good. Very good. At least now, we can rest assured that Yue'er will be in good hands and with someone she loves and loves her back. And best of all, she will be with someone who is exceptionally strong and gifted.'

Once that was all done, Emperor Cang Wanhe finally let himself go and sat down on the bed, completely exhausted. Looking at Cang Yue and Mesa, he finally felt at peace. His precious daughter, the one he loved he loved the most of all his children and the single most precious thing to him in this world would be happy.

"But Mesa Uchiha." Said Emperor Cang Wanhe, back in his serious mode: "Now that you have ruined Fen Juecheng's wedding, attacked and wounded the Burning Heaven Clan Elders and thoroughly humiliated them, they will come after you. And they won't stop until they kill you."

"…… I know. It's just that I am not afraid of them at all. They can come at me as much as they want. The last thing they'll see, is my hammer crushing their skulls to bits." Said Mesa with a malevolent grin on his face, and simultaneously showed off his real strength of Level 7 Emperor Profound Realm and took out Mjolnir before the Emperor's eyes who was beyond astonished.

"E-E-Em-peror Profound Realm?! And at level 7?! How?! when?!" Stammered out the Emperor, too shocked to comprehend what he just saw.

And the one who would tell him how was not Mesa, but Cang Yue smiling amusedly at the side: "Since before the Tournament even began Royal Father. Mesa is capable of controlling how much of his power he puts out. Why do you think I wasn't afraid for the consequences to the Imperial Family when I hit Fen Juecheng back during the bridal procession?"

"W-w-what?! But- But… WHAT?!" The Emperor said, still not capable of comprehending the bombshell he was just dealt.

"Ohh your majesty. Just relax and go lay down. With the Burning Soul Flower now in our possession, this horrible parasite that has caused you so much pain and misery for the last few years will finally be gone forever. And to celebrate your majesty's recovery, I will cook for us a feast tonight." Said Mesa and took out a little red pill. This was the Burning Soul Flower essence refined into a little red pill the size of ball bearing.

"Here your majesty. This is the Burning Soul Flower essence refined in a pill. Swallow this, lie down and stay relaxed. Once the Burning Soul Flower takes effect, it will feel like your body is on fire. But! It is very important that you do not try to resist in any kind of way! You must let the burning pain run its course. For if you do resist, there will be a chance that the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite can survive. After it's all over, you will feel very tired and fall asleep. And by the time your majesty has woken up, I will have prepared us all a grand feast to celebrate your majesty's recovery!" Said Mesa after giving Emperor Cang Wanhe the pill and left the room to prepare for them a feast, leaving Cang Yue behind with her father.

Once Mesa had left the room, Cang Wanhe looked at Cang Yue and spoke to her in a serious tone: "Our dearest daughter. When you said that us, after you came back from New Moon, that it seemed like the heavens themselves were watching over Mesa Uchiha and giving him strength, it seemed that you have only scratched the surface. He is frankly just a monster with all of that power and at such a young age."

"I know. And that is why I am so happy that he is now in our lives. But father, it's time for you to swallow that pill and finally end this nightmare that this damned parasite has brought upon us." Said Cang Yue and with a quick nod, Emperor Cang Wanhe threw the pill in his mouth and laid back on the bed and waited for it to take effect.
