Chapter 446 The Trial Of The Righteous (2)

Ji Yuan was laughing in jest as he addressed his 'subjects', "Since I am a king, where is my queen?"

He immediately knew that this was a trial like the Dream Trial. No wonder the female trial spirit had told him that no one would die in this trial.

Because everything here was not real.

That caused Ji Yuan to laugh loudly as he repeated, "So where is my queen?"

One of the hundreds of subjects answered solemnly, "Your Majesty, you have no queen."

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li looked equally disappointed in Ji Yuan's soul sea; that would mean a no show for her and Anyang Xiahou.

So she hastily said to Ji Yuan, "Big Brother, ask them about your harem!"

Ji Yuan quickly acknowledged to Xiang Li and asked his subjects, "Where is my harem then?"

Another subject hastily answered, "Your Majesty, you've no harem either."

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li: …

Even Fairy Anyang Xiahou was cursing softly, "This is too ridiculous…"

She was starting to mimic what Ji Yuan would usually say after spending too much with him.

A disappointed but quick witted Ji Yuan quickly encouraged himself by declaring, "Then let's have a beauty selection in the kingdom to select consorts for my harem."

Another subject hastily bowed, "Your Majesty, there are no women in the kingdom."

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li, Anyang: …

Just as Ji Yuan was muttering weakly, the voice of the female trial spirit echoed into the throne room and said, "Your subjects will present three tasks for you to judge as a king. Only if you are able to judge worthy then will the Key of Righteousness be obtainable for you. Now let the trial begins."

Ji Yuan was startled as he asked, "What three tasks? Is there any scores or points in this trial?"

But the female trial spirit seemed to have departed and did not answer Ji Yuan.

The subject with the tallest headgear returned a light bow as he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we have three urgent matters for you to exercise judgement and we are awaiting your decree."

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly as he said unhappily, "Hurry and tell me. I am in a hurry to return to my lovers-"

"And to bang them." Xiang Li interrupted with a giggle.

Ji Yuan immediately frowned, "Don't add words to my mouth, Xiang Li."

"There are no women here. Naturally our lord will not want to stay here a second longer." Anyang Xiahou also gave her suggestion.

Ji Yuan returned an awkward look before he muttered weakly, "I seem to have two worms in my stomach that is able to know all my thoughts…"

Xiang Li had heard him and she was smiling, "Of course I know Big Brother's thoughts, spirit entities do not lie!"

Ji Yuan was smiling bitterly when he had heard Xiang Li; he had wanted to tell her that she was never a spirit entity in the first place but the Goddess' Tear. However he could not even tell her because everything related to her existence, she would forget immediately. So it was pointless to even mention to Xiang Li.

"Never mind." Ji Yuan weakly said before he raised his voice to ask his subject, "So what is the first task?"

Again the subject with the tallest headgear said, "Lately we have too many in the kingdom that are taking drugs and their punishment are the death sentence…"

"Do they have to be sentenced to the death? They will ruin themselves anyway by consuming drugs anyway." Ji Yuan interrupted with a frown. "This isn't hard. Just demolish the death sentence."

The subject with the tallest headgear said, "It is a punishable death offense for holding 1g of any drugs…"

Ji Yuan cursed softly: 1g of drug and it is punishable by death. What sort of a stupid law is this…

The subject with the tallest headgear continued, "The vast majority of the people believes that the death sentence is for the good of the state and it keeps the drug abuse low, making this kingdom one of the safest place in the continent."

Ji Yuan asked curiously, "So what is the problem?"

The subject with the tallest headgear said gravely, "It is the minority of the people that is a problem as they want to demolish the death sentence. So we want to ask Your Majesty how we are going to deal with the minority."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes; he cannot believe that such a draconian law would exist in the world. With this law, all the cultivators in the Celestial Realm would already be sentenced to the death sentence since they are all drug abusers.

But now, he had to play the righteous card in order to obtain the Key of Righteousness. Obviously this trial is the Trial of the Righteous and he had to fulfill the trial laws in order to complete the trial even though he did not like the law.

And he had to punish the minority who had protested against this stupid draconian law.

Ji Yuan asked Xiang Li and Anyang, "So what are your thoughts on this?"

"Our lord should be the one that ought to be sentenced to death for abusing the masculine profound pill." Anyang chuckled and her smiles were really lovely.

Seeing her lovely smiles, Ji Yuan laughed jovially. "That is so true, Haha. What about you Xiang Li?"

Xiang Li said with an uninterested look, "They are all men. None of my concerns."

Ji Yuan: …

This is so typical of Xiang Li…

Only another maiden will be able to get Xiang Li's interest.

Ji Yuan sighed softly since none of his two spirit consorts would be able to help him on this.

"Your Majesty, what is your judgement and decree?" The subject with the tallest headgear urged him.

Ji Yuan frowned; the more he thinks about this, the more he detests this law. Why should he punish the minority even though the majority wants the death sentence?

Finally he rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Listen up! This is my decree. Let the kingdom be divided into those that support the death sentence and those that don't support the death sentence. For those that support the death sentence, they and their future descendants will be subjected to the death sentence for breaking the law in the future. As for those that opposes it, they and their future descendants will be rehabilitated and counselled but never the death sentence."

All the subjects seemed to be reacting in horror.

"Your Majesty, this isn't wise! Do you mean that even murderers will be allowed to roam free in the future?"

But Ji Yuan said firmly, "Those that support the death sentence are brutal people anyway. So their future descendants are often the ones that will be brutal murderers anyway. So they deserved the death sentence."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider your decree!" The subjects were all in an uproar now. "How is this law fair?"

Ji Yuan chuckled, "This law is very fair since only a small number of minority is able to enjoy the special rights of not being able to get the death sentence. So I hereby declare them to be the special privilege group like myself and they will all be the new nobles instead."

All the hundreds of subjects were rendered speechless by their king: …
