Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

[Forgive me for the little profanity that has been showcased so far. But Tian Long is a little like that. If it does disturb you, go to the comments so that I will try to censor it a little better in the future.]

"Goddamn this curse of the king." Tian Long started coughing out more blood.

Ping!

[New Secondary Story Quest

Find the Curse of the King

Reward - Cure for the Curse of the King

Penalty - None]

"A story quest with no penalty? Nice. And the cure, looks like it can help me in the future as well. I mean, I need to know what the curse it right? I have to become the king, even for a while, and if that means that I am going to get cursed, I would rather have the cure than not." Liu Feng thought about it.

He then looked around. Out of all the people on his side, only Cai Guo could possibly know what the Curse of the king was.

"Senior family head. I know this is not the time or the place, but this is important as someone who wants to become the king. What exactly is the curse of the king. Will it affect me even though I am going to concede the throne in just a day?" he asked.

This was obviously through transmission. It was probably not right for him to speak about this openly. The king here was emotionally unstable as it was.

Cai Guo paused. He then nodded.

"I am surprised that you do not know what the curse is, Young Noble. I thought that everyone who wanted to be king would know of the curse. But I guess you do not. The curse is given to all those who step on the throne of Tiandu. As the throne has been taking from the Han dynasty from all those millennia, this is a throne that was not meant for Tian blood. Forcefully sitting on it will only cause a curse to latch on to your blood, forcing you to age faster. That is why all kings of Tiandu die before the age of seventy, like mortals." Cai Guo said.

"But I thought that you would know this. After all, you are the very exception to the rule, and half the reason why the king decided to imprison the dragon princess. It is said that the throne first accepted the dragon princess, and the curse wasn't applying to her when the king's father took the young princess on his lap when he was on the throne." Cai Guo continued in the transmission.

"What? That is truly interesting. I need to research more about this later." he understood.

[Ping!]

[Story Quest Complete]

[Computing rewards. Rewards will be disbursed when time is required.]

Liu Feng nodded as he looked at the show now, concentrating on the king. He was convulsing, coughing out huge amounts of blood.

No one would ever think that this poor man was the king of all of Tiandu, the one who commanded the largest army and force in the entire kingdom. He looked like a mere mortal and was also just as young as one!"

After a few breaths, he was able to stabilize himself.

"Because of you, Cai Guo, the curse acted upon itself again. How long do you think I have now? It was a month before, and now, I don't know when I will go. The succession war is right upon us, and at this very moment, you have abandoned the Tian family and are now helping this man with another surname take the throne?" Tian Long looked at Cai Guo.

"This is just what is best for the Cai family, Your Majesty. For too long, you have let the Hong family suppress us. They got a better pick of territories, they got the better resources, and when they started coming into our territory, you were the one who allowed it. And when we destroy it in return, it was our mistake? How is that fair?" Cai Guo finally started talking back.

"Are you betraying your king, Cai Guo?" Tian Hun had recovered, and Liu Feng had long stopped using the Yuan Principle on him.

"You and Tian Jiang are the most powerful of the entire royal family. Brothers to the previous king. Do you think that this is the king that he would have wanted. All of us were in the past dynasty and this one. That was why I supported the tenth prince and now, Liu Feng." Cai Guo said.

"You supported a girl to sit on the throne. A girl! Do you understand the problem with that, you fool?" Tian Long shouted.

"At this point, this really is turning into a family drama that I don't want to involve myself into. What the hell is with this king's mood swings? Is he like a woman in secret and he has his period right now?" Liu Feng thought to himself.

"Cough!"

The king started coughing once again. This time, his entire body shook. Everyone could see his very bones shake as he expelled more blood.

And this time, the blood was pitch black.

"No! This can't be!" Tian Hun whispered.

"Cai Guo, you bastard. Because of you and these insolent people that you have brought to the palace, the king has been angered all the way to injury! The curse has made his situation worse!" Tian Gan rushed to the king's side.

He looked at the woman.

"Get out. And do not speak a word of what is going on here." he said.

The woman had fear in her eyes, quickly nodding as she got off the bed. With the king no longer laying on her lap, she was no longer needed here.

Splat!

Suddenly, the moment she was near the door, her head burst into a thousand pieces.

"Dead women tell no tales. Why risk it." Tian Hun coldly said.
