The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1871 - 1874: Emperor Suiko of the Earth's Reward?

"What? You think I can't defeat you in one move? You seem very confident!" Xu Hao mocked.

"Hmph! Although I know I'm not your match, defeating me in one move is absolutely impossible! Uncle, let's take out our Sasaki Family's treasure and bet with Xu Hao. You know, I can definitely win!" Sasaki Sisui immediately turned his gaze to Sasaki Chikara.

Sasaki Chikara's heart was indeed somewhat shaken. Xu Hao's strength was evident in front of him. Although Sasaki Sisui was not considered too weak, he still paled in comparison to Xu Hao.

If they lost, wouldn't the family's treasure be won by Xu Hao?

At this moment, Sasaki Mirai whispered, "Father, wager with him! Although we might not win, we cannot lose in momentum! Xu Hao is actually testing us now, wanting to see if we dare to confront him directly.

If he finds out that we don't want to clash with him head-on, he might turn around and leave immediately. That wouldn't fit our plan. Moreover, if we don't even dare to accept such a bet now, our Sasaki Family's reputation would plummet significantly."

Sasaki Chikara nodded slightly. He had also considered this, but he was just undecided. Now that his son had spoken, he was more determined to face Xu Hao in a showdown.

"Hahaha! Since Xu Hao, you have said so, we naturally have to accept the challenge! Very well, our Sasaki Family will accept your bet! What we are wagering is an ancient treasure that has been passed down from a long time ago, bestowed upon our ancestors by the great Emperor Suiko of the Earth!" Sasaki Chikara immediately said.

Everyone was stunned when they heard that Sasaki Chikara was going to use such a precious treasure as a wager.

Isn't this too extravagant?

That is an invaluable treasure!

Emperor Suiko was an extremely important female ruler recorded in the history of Dongying, although only existing in unofficial histories.

When Xu Hao heard Sasaki Chikara's words, he was also taken aback.

To be precise, Emperor Suiko was Dongying's first female ruler.

However, the culture of Dongying is highly patriarchal, and their official history doesn't even record this Emperor Suiko.

But Huaya's history records it.

Moreover, it's recorded in the official records of the Sui dynasty.

In the Third Year of Daye, or 607 AD, Emperor Suiko sent an envoy, Ono no Imoko, to Luoyang to pay respects to Emperor Yang of Sui, with their national letter starting with "From the Son of Heaven in the land where the sun rises to the Son of Heaven in the land where the sun sets."

This means that, at the time, Emperor Suiko considered herself the Son of Heaven, not an earthly ruler. However, only the Central Plains Dynasty could use the title "Son of Heaven," and Emperor Yang of Sui was enraged by this: "Disregard the insolent message from the Barbarians."

A Regent King in Dongying forcibly changed Emperor Suiko to Emperor of the Earth, and the following year, Dongying's envoy Ono no Imoko visited Sui again, changing the national letter to "The Eastern Emperor of the Earth respectfully addresses the Western Emperor" to ease relations between both sides.

Huaya's historical records clearly document this history, but Dongying does not acknowledge their first ruler as a woman, and during Emperor Suiko's period, the Regent Prince Shengde fabricated ten fictional earthly rulers in Dongying's history, which was later adopted by Dongying descendants.

This history is not well known. After all, even most of the Huaya people, when studying Dongying history, habitually use Dongying's historical records.

And now, the treasure that Sasaki Chikara is about to bring out was bestowed upon his ancestors by Emperor Suiko, indicating the treasure's value.

But is he really willing to bring it out?

Xu Hao couldn't help but wonder.

Seeing that he had aroused everyone's curiosity, Sasaki Chikara suddenly laughed, "Of course, it's not the actual treasure; we can't bear to use it this way. However, it is a Third Grade Superior Magic Artifact, which is extremely rare itself."

Everyone was initially a bit disappointed, but when they heard "Third Grade Superior Magic Artifact," they were instantly no longer disappointed.

A Third Grade Superior Magic Artifact, that's extremely valuable!

It's something you can't even buy with money!

But now, they have the fortune to witness it!

Everyone was filled with anticipation as they looked at Sasaki Chikara, eager to see what this replica magic artifact looked like.

Sasaki Chikara smiled slightly and said, "Although this magic artifact is a replica, it is almost identical to the original treasure. Bring the treasure up!"

Everyone followed the direction Sasaki Chikara pointed, only to see two members of the Sasaki Family carrying a purple sandalwood box walking towards them.

When the two men reached Sasaki Chikara, he opened the box amidst the anticipation of the crowd.

Inside the box was a stunningly beautiful Treasure Mirror!
