Magic Emperors
Episode 42
Their conversation lasted all day. As soon as Zhuo Fan got all the information that interested him, he took Long Jiu out after that he entered seclusion for a month for healing.
With Long Jiu Recovery Pills, he returned to full health in ten days but was forced to spend the remaining time patching up the precarious state of the Blood Baby.
A month later, Zhuo Fan came out from his room stretching his limbs and enjoying the fresh air. Moreover, just a few days ago, he and the Blood Infant entered the 5th layer of Qi Condensation.
It was just a pity that one of the two elders from the Valley of Hell died in vain. He really wished he could absorb the older Yuan Qi at that moment.
With that, he would be at the Bone Tempering Stage now.
“Ah, Server Zhuo ..”
Xiao Cui screeched in excitement to see him but then ran away.
Zhuo Fan was confused, feeling his face involuntarily. [Has anything changed about me? Why did he run away the moment he saw me?]
[What's so scary about me? I'm not a man-eating monster.]
But he soon found out everything.
[I must have been too rude to her when I tore off their clothes back then and this girl is now afraid of me. Just like Luo Yunhai before.]
Zhuo Fan sneered, [I was a little too hard on the two children.]
“Sister Zhuo, do you feel better?”
This time it was Captain Pang who was rude.
“Pang Old!”
Captain Pang is the only one he has acknowledged as his friend since he reincarnated. Zhuo Fan started to miss him after not meeting for a month.
However, just as Captain Pang was about to hug him in a friendly manner, his face changed and he ran away.
This time, Zhuo Fan was stunned.
[Forget that girl, Xiao Cui, why did Old Pang even avoid me like a plague?]
Zhuo Fan frowned, unable to understand it.
He is good at reading people's intentions in negotiations and fights, but that's because he believes everyone's actions are motivated by profit.
But Pang Tua's behavior confused him.
[I didn't do anything to hurt her and she should have no reason to fear me. What's the problem with him running away?]
Zhuo Fan shook his head in confusion but he was not wanting to find out the reason. A man like the Demon Emperor was a person who acted great, unperturbed by petty affairs.
As he was about to leave, Lei Yuting appeared before him with a lunch box and Xiao Cui ran behind him.
Her cute body was hiding behind Lei Yuting, peeking at her little head to stare at Zhuo Fan.
“What are you doing again?” Zhuo Fan stood on the spot, puzzled.
Lei Yuting walked with uncertain steps, unlike the stern nature he was used to. When she saw Zhuo Fan, her cheeks turned red, “Um, Flight attendant Zhuo, thank you for saving me. Accept this small award sign.”
Zhuo Fan looked at the lunchbox suspiciously as he opened the lid.
An incredible aroma swept over him when the intricately made dishes prepared from the heart were in the open.
“Amazing smell!”
Zhuo Fan asked, “Where did you buy it from? Does Windgaze City have an amazing restaurant?”
“Huh, they are not purchased.” Xiao Cui jumped out with a smile, “Young girls spend ten hours every day making them and waiting for Steward Zhuo to come out of seclusion to try it!”
[Every day?]
Zhuo Fan was now unraveling the mystery of Xiao Cui who was running when he saw her. That was to tell Lei Yuting.
Not knowing when he would come out, Lei Yuting cooked for him every day. His persistence moved him.
Nodding, Zhuo Fan spoke, “I received your gift.”
Lei Yuting cupped her reddened face and whispered, “Steward Zhuo has just recovered and needs to take care of her body. Quickly eat before cold.”
“True!”
Zhuo Fan returned to his room with a lunch box. Even though he was at the Qi Condensation Stage, not eating for a month made him hungry.
Lei Yuting with Xiao Cui behind him followed him. His eyes shone like the sun, soft yet warm enough to melt the glacier.
When Zhuo Fan was about to dig, Luo Yunchang's charming figure entered the room with a knock. Captain Pang followed behind him.
Grimacing his brows, Zhuo Fan saw him carrying the lunch box as well.
“Oh, I didn't know Steward Zhuo had someone bring him breakfast. I'm not worried about anything. ”
When he saw the lunch box in front of Zhuo Fan, Luo Yunchang's smile widened but his eyes became sharp as if it would perforate everyone present.
“What put him in a bad mood this morning?” Zhuo Fan furrowed his brows in confusion. But when he saw Captain Pang's pitying gaze, it puzzled him.
Bam!
Luo Yunchang slammed the box in front of Zhuo Fan with a smile, “Steward Zhuo, this is something I made for you to help your recovery.”
“I've got a part. I am not a greedy person to eat too much.”
Zhuo Fan shrugged, planning to get rid of Luo Yunchang's box but then he felt a killing intent. He caught Luo Yunchang's eyes glaring at him.
“Um, I'll try both.”
Zhuo Fan flinched for the first time in his life. He did not understand what the commotion was about but knew that if he did not say that, there would be a real danger to his life.
Revealing Luo Yunchang's dishes, he found them charred black, cutting off most of his meals.
Zhuo Fan went to Lei Yuting's box as he showed a bright smile.
But even before his hand reached him, Luo Yunchang smashed his box closer to him with a sharp gaze, “Don't you say you'll eat both of them?”
Zhuo Fan's brows flickered, hesitation appearing as he looked long ago at Luo Yunchang's burnt plate.
But he could barely resist his sincere gaze and nodded, “Alright, I'll eat it.”
Luo Yunchang smiled widely, which Lei Yuting underestimated.
“Mine was.” Luo Yunchang urged.
“No, mine.” Lei Yuting said in a hurry.
The eyes of the two women met and sparks seemed to fly.
Zhuo Fan wondered, [Are they not close? Why are they suddenly fighting?] He could not understand what could bring such a change to them.
“First come first served.”
Zhuo Fan then bit off Lei Yuting's dish. He looked at her with wide and hopeful eyes.
Zhuo Fan gave a thumbs up, “Lezat!”
Lei Yuting's smile bloomed like a flower while Xiao Cui pushed her chin and shouted, “My Mud Mona started cooking since she was ten years old. No one in Windgaze City could match his skill. You're in luck today, Flight attendant Zhuo. ”
Xiao Cui's pride humiliated Lei Yuting, but even that couldn't remove a bright smile from his face.
Luo Yunchang pouted, “Zhuo Fan, try mine.”
Zhuo Fan bit him but spat it out as soon as it touched his tongue.
“Even toxins better.” Her words were sharp as she picked up Lei Yuting's box, “I still chose this one.”
Lei Yuting smiled, while Luo Yunchang's eyes began to glaze over.
“Wow, very fragrant smell!”
At this moment Luo Yunhai shouted in shock as he jumped into Zhuo Fan's room, “Bro Zhuo, you came out! And you're having a party like that, why don't you invite me?
“Go and eat your sister's cooking.” Zhuo Fan refused.
Luo Yunhai complained, “His skills are not worth a penny. He knows nothing but to open the kitchen door.”
Unable to stay there any longer, Luo Yunchang ran out with his lunchbox. But people could see the droplets he left on the floor.
“Eh, am I wrong?” Luo Yunhai was confused.
“Not everything.” Zhuo Fan devoured Lei Yuting's cooking as he said, “But some people have low confidence.”
After finishing eating, Zhuo Fan told the others before leaving, “Stay here as the people of Hell Valley may still be lurking. I will visit the Shrouded Dragon Pavilion.”
Luo Yunhai and Captain Pang nodded then turned to Lei Yuting. Seeing his face flushed red, Xiao Cui was even more excited, “How great, Young Miss, Steward Zhuo is interested in you.”
Lei Yuting just smiled.
At the same time, in the Imperial City.
In the magnificent office, two people sat side by side. A man in his forties, wearing a white silk robe. He had a small hanging mustache that trembled with his smile.
Another man was in his fifties, with grim skin and wearing a dark robe. His pair of large eyes were filled with grievances.
The two acted like strangers, not meeting each other's eyes.
Cough, cough, cough…
With a cough, a trembling body appeared in front of the two. It was an old man wearing a golden robe embroidered with nine dragons.
“Your Majesty!”
Those people got up and bowed.
The elder waved for them to sit down, the “Coverted Dragon Pavilion and the Valley of Hell were both from the Seven Nobles Houses, imperial pillars. What kind of trouble made you ask for an audience with me? ”
This elder was the Emperor of Tianyu Empire!
“Your Majesty, the Shrouded Dragon Pavilion killed two of our Hell Valley elders last month, breaking the seven-house agreement. Your Majesty, please punish the Shrouded Dragon Pavilion!” The black-robed man complained.
Sneering, the middle-aged man spoke, “You Wanshan, you dare to complain first! Your Hell Valley Elders are violating the domain of my Covert Dragon Pavilion. How will you explain it? Who first broke the seven-house agreement?”
“One of my valley disciples, You Quan, was killed in Windgaze City. Can't I send an elder to uncover this matter? ” You Wanshan squinted, “Long Yifey, you just made an excuse to take revenge for what happened two decades ago.”
“Ha-ha-ha, and? Twenty years ago, you trapped Elder Jiu in Drifting Leaves City and damaged his mystical eyes. You accuse him of entering your domain and violating the seven-house agreement, I don't mind. But this time, it was your queen who entered mine. And not just one, but four! Is this what you call an investigation? ”
“Enough!”
The Emperor's cold shout came as his eyes flashed furiously, “Both sides violated. This is my assessment. The Shrouded Dragon Pavilion will retreat from Windgaze City, it is no longer part of your domain. The people of Hell Valley and the Shrouded Dragon Pavilion will never set foot in this city again.”
“Your Majesty!”
The two cupped their fists, but the Emperor flicked his sleeve, “This matter is done, retreat. I no longer want to hear anything about the seven houses, or about internal strife. ”
“Understood!”
Only
None of them were willing to accept this conclusion but kept retreating.
When they left, the Emperor's eyes shone, “For the people of the Valley of Hell to be able to enter Windgaze City, they must know that thousand-year-old secret.”
“The Imperial City has always been a place of conflict, filled with the eyes and ears of every faction. This should be known Your Majesty.” An old voice answered from behind.
Emperor chuckles, “It seems. His plan has already begun. Pearls will always shine, he-he-he..”.
