Chapter 447 The Trial Of The Righteous (3)
Ji Yuan simply frowned with a stern voice, “My decree is the law.”
Just as the hundreds of subjects were all muttering among themselves, Ji Yuan added sarcastically, “I am the King or you are the King?”
When the subjects heard Ji Yuan, silence began to overwhelm them because Ji Yuan is really the king and not them!
Xiang Li and Anyang panicky shouted in Ji Yuan’s soul sea, “Big Brother/My lord! Are you sure?”
Ji Yuan answered by further announcing with a haughty look, “For disobeying the king, you will all be sentenced to the death unless of course, you happen to be the special privilege.”
He was not making an empty threat; this is a cultivation dream trial after all so he did not have any grudges to put anyone to the death because it isn’t real.
The hundreds of subjects had no choice but to accept the decision because all of them supported the death penalty for drug abusers.
Ji Yuan rubbed his chin as he thought; Eek, it seems that all my subjects support the death penalty because they are all loyal subjects that want to make the kingdom a good place to live. No, there must be a catch somewhere. THIS MUST BE A TRICK!
Xiang Li screamed at Ji Yuan, “Big Brother! No, no, this isn’t a trick at all~”
Anyang face-palmed herself, “This is actually an obvious trial. Why can’t my lord see through this…”
Ji Yuan insisted that he was right, “I tell you girls, this is a TRICK!”
Anyang rolled her eyes but said nothing now; there was nothing that she could do now. Ji Yuan had already given his decree.
One of the subjects with a grand hat stepped forward, “Your Majesty, we have a grave situation in the city now. A deadly sickness and plaque has now invaded our city and we need to isolate the sick.”
Another subject urgently added, “We need to quarantine them and disinfect all their things.”
“I will suggest that we fence them in their respective blocks and don’t allow them to go out.” Another added.
“What if there is only one case in the block?”
“If there is one case in the block, we will quarantine all of them.”
“How about their daily needs?”
“Do we even need to give them vegetables? They can eat grass!”
“Better to sacrifice one lives than afford to have ten more lives that will be lost eventually!”
“Kill all their pets too! They may spread the plaque!”
“Your Majesty, this is our proposal to save our royal city from this incoming calamity!”
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes as he asked coldly, “They are not cattle. Why can’t you send in the physicians to save them?”
“The plague is too deadly! There are no cures at all! Many of the physicians are dead because they are in contact with the afflicted! These people are cursed by the gods!”
Ji Yuan asked again, “You are not going to give them any food?”
“They are going to die anyway. Why waste good food on them? Also, everything that they touch will cause everyone else to be sick! We cannot even afford to send them any food at all!”
Ji Yuan sighed softly, “The sick are not cattle…”
Then he sighed again; the cultivators are immune to sickness and aging. We are immune to afflictions because we cultivate the ways of the heavens…
He asked coldly, “Then do we need to burn their houses to contain the plaque?”
“Good idea! Your Majesty, you’re a genius! Let’s burn down their houses and everything that they have touched. Leave nothing to chance! Even the space and air around them are tainted!”
The subjects immediately shouted with great fervor, “Deaths to all the plagued people! Kill them all!”
Ji Yuan: …

Anyang muttered softly, “I know that this is a trial but this is too heartless. My lord, you may have already failed the last trial but this trial is too much even for me to bear.”
Xiang Li had watery tears as she spoke, “This trial is too much. It tests your resolve to save the majority by sacrificing the minority.”
Ji Yuan nodded to them as he frowned, “For once, we all agreed with one another.”
Xiang Li giggled softly as she rubbed her tears clean, “I always agree with Big Brother!”
Ji Yuan frowned, “Never and you are just a peeping tom.”
Xiang Li: …

Xiang Li: …
“Big Brother, this is too hurtful! You are the one that enjoying it!” Xiang Li protested immediately.
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes, “Sure I am the one enjoying it but what does it have to do with you in the first place?”
Xiang Li protested to a slight whisper, “I am keeping watch over Big Brother in case you lost all your vitality to depravity.”
Ji Yuan: …

Anyang: …
“Ahem!” Ji Yuan coughed weakly as he tried to focus on the hundreds of subjects that were appealing loudly to him to carry out the royal decree and many of the subjects were even on the knees begging the king to save the royal city.
Ji Yuan asked weakly, “What is the name of this plaque? What are the symptoms?”
“We just call this the Covid. People just die mysteriously from this! Save our women, our children, our elderly and our slaves!”
Ji Yuan frowned all of a sudden, “You mean, we have slaves in this city?!”
“Of course we have slaves in the city, Your Majesty! Slaves are good. They do the menial work!”
Ji Yuan had a shiver down in his spine; he rarely felt fear but this brought coldness to his heart.
It was because he was once a slave to Little Princess and that was why he hated slavery with all his heart.
p
Thinking of Little Princess now, he began to drool when he pictured her naked in front of him and completing the full rated services for him…
I must find a time to bang my dear Little Princess thoroughly. This time I will be the alpha, hehehe…
He was instantly filled with drooling images of a naked Little Princess in various compromising poses…
“Your Majesty! Please give us your decree!”
Ji Yuan was interrupted from his blissed picture that was between Little Princess’ legs and he released a long groans. “This is my royal decree then. We must live with the Covid. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law…I mean everyone is equal in the eyes of your king. Therefore you are to mix with the afflicted, eat with them and also to kiss them.”
All the hundreds of subjects were completely stunned!
Xiang Li chuckled as she raised her thumb to praise Ji Yuan, “Best ever decision made by Big Brother!”
Anyang face-palmed her face, “No, it is not! Our lord is just screwing everyone, including this trial…”
