Chapter 684: Birthday Celebration (2/2)

“Don’t worry, I will give you a chance.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “You can think about it. I am very patient when it comes to you.”

This type of patience was very rare for Li Qiye; it spoke plenty of how much he valued Madam Zi Yan. Apart from her being from the Giant Bamboo Country, it was also because of her personality.

She gently sighed while Li Qiye maintained the quiet atmosphere as if the matters of this world had nothing to do with him.

“Did Young n.o.ble and the Dragon Princess have a fight?” The madam gently asked while looking at Li Qiye.

Li Qiye didn’t bat an eye as he nonchalantly replied: “It was nothing, not worth mentioning.”

The madam didn’t say anything else. This wasn’t her first time seeing Li Qiye’s overbearing and arrogant manner, so what could she say if he didn’t even care for the Crystallized Sea Sect?

She quietly sat beside him and pointed the way for the bull to enter the Allpine Mountain.

She enjoyed a very high-level reception at this place and had her own valley. Such treatment was comparable to that of an imperial lineage; other great powers would not have this privilege.

“Not a bad place.” After entering the valley, Li Qiye took a look around and nodded approvingly.

The madam wryly smiled and said: “This is due to the blessing of our Divine Guardian. With my reputation alone, I would not be able to claim such a valley.”

This was indeed the case. Although the Giant Bamboo Country was considered a great power, there were other countries much more powerful than it. There were many guests from all over the world who came for the treefather’s birthday, so normally only imperial lineages could have their own valley.

However, the Giant Bamboo Tree was also a Demon Forefather just like the Allpine Treefather and was even more ancient, so the madam enjoyed the highest level of accommodations.

Li Qiye smiled and didn’t say anything else. He slightly tapped the bull then entered the house. Meanwhile, the bull pulled on the carriage and stopped in a corner where it lied down near a water source just like a coiling dragon.

The madam prepared dinner for Li Qiye and also washed his face. She was busying herself as if she was his maid.

Such a matter should be left to the servants, but the madam chose to do it personally. This would have been an unimaginable sight to outsiders. She was very thoughtful and gentle as she took great care of Li Qiye.

This made Li Qiye comfortably sigh, prompting the madam to softly ask: “Is something on Young n.o.ble’s mind?”

“No.” Li Qiye slightly shook his head and replied: “Just recalling something. It is very hard to find a suitable candidate these days.”

Of course, she didn’t know that Li Qiye was talking about her progenitor. It could be said that she was someone who Li Qiye thought of very highly, someone who had never disappointed him before.

There was still some time before the treefather’s birthday, so Li Qiye stayed in the valley without leaving while the madam served him as if he was a young master.

Of course, although he didn’t leave the house, this did not mean that he didn’t do anything. He took a stroll around the valley every day over and over again. It could even be said that his steps filled every corner of this valley.

During his strolls, sometimes he would gaze towards the far distance or listen to the earth as if he was surveying something.

Although Li Qiye’s actions seemed strange, the madam knew that Li Qiye had something he wanted to do, so she chose not to ask. However, she was quite anxious since she knew of Li Qiye’s lawlessness and propensity to do anything he wished. She was afraid that he would cause some trouble at the Allpine Mountain.

On this day, the madam was not in the valley while Li Qiye was lying on a hill to bask in the sun. Although he had a lazy appearance, no one knew that he was calculating something over and over again in his mind.

Some time later, Li Qiye suddenly stood up and heavily stamped the ground. With a boom, part of the ground collapsed.

“No, no, no…” At this time, a figure immediately climbed out of the ground and quickly begged for mercy: “Young n.o.ble, please no. We’re on the same side.”

Li Qiye laid back in his armchair and finally opened his eyes in a lazy manner while looking at the figure crawling up from the ground, saying: “On the same side? Since when?”

[spoiler t.i.tle='684 Teaser']The many experts who were together with the princess could only glare hatefully at Li Qiye after hearing the Demon Monarch.

This place was the Allpine Mountain and everyone was here to celebrate the treefather’s birthday. This was the Stone Medicine World, so everyone would show the treefather some consideration. If they caused trouble at the treefather’s birthday, then it would be too insensible.

Besides, the Dragon Princess had been kicked away and her fate was unknown. If they didn’t quickly save her, then maybe she would die for real.

The newly arrived guests noticed that the excitement was gone, so they went back up the mountain. In fact, they already knew that nothing too crazy would happen here, especially at this key moment since no one wanted to offend the treefather.

“Where might Dao Friend be from?” When everyone left, the Demon Monarch from the Allpine Mountain asked Li Qiye.[/spoiler]
