Rise of The Anti God

After Farah took a quick bath and got dressed, the Gale Emperor leaned against the window as he asked, "Now why did you stand up for him? Was it to simply play your part as his wife, or am I right to think you had some other intentions?"

Farah smiled coyly and said, "Of course, it\'s not for him that I asked you to reconsider but to make him think that we are on his side and not against him. Even if he is not the crown prince, he has strong support from some important ministers and the army they command since he is the eldest prince after all. So it would be good for us to play safe till our plans are set in motion. Then we don\'t have to be afraid of stepping on shattered glass."

The Gale Emperor didn\'t seem surprised and said with a narrowed gaze, "As expected, I chose the perfect daughter-in-law for my son."

Farah fluttered her eyes and said, "Please, Your Majesty. You flatter me too much."

The Gale Emperor smirked, and then with a thoughtful expression, he said, "Still, I never expected Tristen to win the competition and even impress the princess. This is something I didn\'t see coming, especially his sudden interest in alchemy and his talent in it, most of all. What do you think about him?"

"All I know is he is very talented in bed, but no matter what, I couldn\'t make him spill out any secrets or who his mysterious master is. All he thinks about is getting into women\'s skirts, which only makes me wonder how he could be so talented in alchemy as well. Just like your speculation, I highly have doubts that Alchemist Azrael is his master considering what happened in the Rong Empire."

"Also, Tristen was born as a genius in ethereal cultivation but not in alchemy. So the only ways I can think of is that he came upon some treasure to increase the potential of his soul to make his etheric flames even more powerful or that he is being spoon-fed by his so-called mysterious master who might have a hidden agenda with our empire, which could also be Alchemist Azrael if we are thinking about this possibility," Farah said as she rested her chin on her hand.

The Gale Emperor crossed his arms as he asked, "Are you saying that Alchemist Azrael could possibly be using Tristen to get to me? But that doesn\'t make any sense since he was the one who destroyed my guild. I should be the one trying to destroy him and not the other way around. If I had made a move against him before, then this possibility would seem more plausible. But based on what I heard about him, he doesn\'t seem to be the ambitious kind. Still, he is quite clever about his ways, I heard. If it wasn\'t for the fact that he is the only one who sells Supreme Tier Pills publicly, I would have crushed him already."

As he said these words, his eyes shone with a sinistrous glint since he had not in the slightest forgotten about what happened in the Rong Empire, which was like a slap to his face.

And just as he said, if it wasn\'t for the fact that he needed the Supreme Tier Pills Alchemist Azrael concocts, he would have long killed him off by employing any method, no matter how ruthless or underhanded.

But this only made him feel disgruntled and frustrated at times since he knew he had lost some face because of what happened in the Rong Empire, and people probably thought him to be too cowardly to retaliate against a single alchemist.

Still, he had to keep it under covers since, in the public\'s eyes, what Alchemist Azrael did was understandable.

"Do you still want me to keep an eye on Tristen and see what information I can get from him?" Farah asked as she crossed her legs, revealing a glimpse of her innerwear, making the Gale Emperor feel a twitch in his lower member even after venting his lust just a few minutes ago.

Farah inwardly smirked, seeing how alike the father and son were while also feeling proud that she could distract the most powerful man in the Gale Empire by just crossing her legs.

She knew that even if he had toyed with countless beauties, his lustful hunger would never be satiated, just like how a drunk can\'t resist alcohol.

The Gale Emperor answered, "Yes. Keep an eye on him, and find out how he came up with the ideas for those pills. The Strength Returning Pill surely is something that could easily turn tides of war at the least unexpected times. And as an emperor, tens of thousands of such pills would be like an extra layer of strength for my armies. Still, I am not someone who simply accepts all the good things that come in my way without finding out why. After all, everything happens for a reason, and whoever gave Tristen the medical formula surely wouldn\'t be a saint to give away such a precious formula when no one else had concocted such pills."

"Alright. I will keep an eye on him and see what made him suddenly come up with such precious pills. Still, I feel that he probably might be coming back with Princess Yuria considering how he probably broke into her residence and still came out unscathed. And if the princess does come to our palace, do you plan to…" Farah trailed off with a knowing smile.

The Gale Emperor understood what she meant but shook his head, "No. She is too important for now. Besides, King Krisen still holds some unknown cards which I am not privy to. But that\'s where Tristen comes into play. And in the meantime, King Krisen would be deluding himself into thinking that his kingdom is out of my sight just because his daughter would be tied to our imperial family. But of course, before we speculate further, let\'s see how good Tristen is at removing skirts."

Farah wasn\'t surprised by his answer since she knew that despite his lustful nature, he would never let that influence his decisions related to him and his empire.

Farah stood up and bowed, "Then I will proceed as planned, Father-in-law."
