Chapter 686: Madam Zi Yan’s Hesitation

“I like straightforward people.” Li Qiye said with a smile: “Go. I hope that you can bring me good news. Do not disappoint me.”

Tie Yi took a deep breath and cupped his hands before Li Qiye to say: “Rest a.s.sured, Young n.o.ble, wait for this little demon’s good news.”

Having said that, he drilled into the ground and instantly disappeared.

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t say anything else. He continued to lay on his chair as if nothing had happened.

In the afternoon, Madam Zi Yan came back and saw the hole in the ground. She was slightly surprised and asked: “This is…?”

“It’s nothing, just a mouse digging a hole, there is no need to be alarmed.” Replied Li Qiye with a grin.

Although Li Qiye said that, the madam was still looking at the hole. She was quite worried that the thing she feared would happen.

Li Qiye saw through her and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, no matter what happens, we will be fine. Moreover, we are here for the birthday celebration, not to cause trouble, wouldn’t you say?”

The madam could only smile back; she didn’t continue to pry about this matter. She sat down behind him and gently ma.s.saged his shoulders.

Only Li Qiye would enjoy such treatment. He closed his eyes to rest and enjoyed the gentle touches from the madam.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes to look at the madam’s beauty that was without any trace of mundane vulgarity and revealed a faint smile to say: “I like people like you. As soft as water, meticulous and patient...”

The madam only charmingly smiled in response. Of course, she was not misunderstanding his intentions. She knew full well that Li Qiye was not referring to the kind of affection between a man and a woman.

“I believe in Young n.o.ble. With your abilities, you will surely have a grand future.” The madam continued to gently rub his shoulders while softly speaking: “But I don’t know anything about your origin.”

She was very confident in him becoming a renowned Alchemy Emperor in the Stone Medicine World in the future — there was no questioning this. However, she had her own concerns, especially about his origin.

Of course, she was fully aware that Li Qiye didn’t want anything from her, especially not her beauty or the Giant Bamboo Country; he was already able to obtain them.

“Zi Yan, you are looking at this the wrong way.” Li Qiye gently shook his head and said: “I don’t care for an achievement like becoming an Alchemy Emperor. As for your concern, my origin is really not important either. You only need to know one thing: by following me, you are following the future Immortal Emperor, no, much more than an emperor. Follow me and you will be following the existence at the apex in the future…

“When that day comes, the G.o.ds will tremble as all the races in the nine worlds bow their heads before us. G.o.dkings, among my followers, would only be qualified to have the lowest positions. If True Immortals are still in this world, they would also have to be under my banner. If True Dragons are still here, then they would have to coil themselves respectfully before our presence! I am the sole ruler above the high heavens, and among the endless stretches of time, I alone am eternal!”

These words were uttered as if he was whispering to a lover, as if it was mere mumbling in one’s sleep. These dream-like words were uttered so lightly by Li Qiye.

Above Immortal Emperors? Causing the G.o.ds to tremble and True Immortals to prostrate as well as True Dragons?! These words were truly surreal, and only an ignorant or crazy person would say such things.

However, the madam listened very carefully to his dream-like words while gently ma.s.saging Li Qiye’s shoulders.

She had heard these words before, in the building at the outskirts of the capital. However, there was a completely different feeling to them this time. At that time, she had doubts in her mind, but now, a part of her heart was shaken by these words.

Also at this time, Li Qiye opened his eyes and reached out with his right hand to gently touch Madam Zi Yan’s delicate and beautiful chin, then he caressed her pretty face.

This kind of action from someone else would perhaps be viewed as disrespectful and vulgar, but Li Qiye’s touch was without any s.e.xual thoughts. It was natural and calm without the slightest intention of taking advantage of her.

“Zi Yan, your heart is swaying nonstop as if you are a lost baby fawn.” Li Qiye smiled while touching her cheek.
