Chapter 691: Secret Of Dao-Sense Peak (2/2)

“Lady Zi Yan, we meet again.” Before the carriage stopped, a young man with a mature look came to greet her. He had golden hair, bold tiger-like eyes, and a lion-like forehead — a rather heroic appearance. He quickly walked forward, and each of his steps emitted powerful roars. His strength was clear at a single glance.

Although this person was not too old, one absolutely must not underestimate him. He, along with Madam Zi Yan, were both the rulers of their countries; he was the Royal Lord of the Lion Country with the t.i.tle Lion Young King. [1. This could have been Young Lion King, then we have our own little Simba in ED.]

The Lion Young King was one of Madam Zi Yan’s many suitors, so he was very excited after seeing her and immediately came to give his greetings.

The madam slightly nodded and said after seeing his approach: “Lion Young King, long time no see.”

The young king gazed at the madam with a pair of eyes full of adoration and quickly smiled in response: “It has been five years since our last meeting. Miss Zi Yan is not only prettier, but your cultivation has become even more amazing. You are no weaker than any contemporary genius.”

Many people were looking at the madam, and of course, some of the younger ones wanted to come and start a conversation. However, they must be sensible regarding their own status and power. She was a great Demon King, so how could ordinary cultivators have the courage or qualifications to come greet her? Among the entire Stone Medicine World, very few young cultivators were able to reach the Heavenly King realm.

The madam only nodded with a smile, but the Lion Young King was afraid of giving up a good chance to travel together. Before the madam could say anything else, he quickly added: “Miss Zi Yan, I heard that your Giant Bamboo Country was still searching for talents, an alchemist to represent your country in the conference. I wonder if you have found one? If not, then I can introduce you to some; I know a few alchemists, all of whom are quite famous.”

“You don’t have to worry about that, the Giant Bamboo Country already has an alchemist for the conference.” Before the madam could answer, a different voice responded. Of course, the speaker was Li Qiye. He, who was previously resting, now had his eyes open and interrupted them with a smirk.

Li Qiye’s sudden interjection left the Lion Young King a bit stunned. In fact, everyone was a bit stunned. It could even be said that all of them were only looking at the madam, and not many of them even caught a glimpse of him.

“This is…?” At this time, the Lion Young King finally took a look at Li Qiye. After seeing that there was nothing special about him, he immediately paid him no mind. If it wasn’t out of consideration for the madam, a ruler like him wouldn’t even bother talking to Li Qiye.

“The Giant Bamboo Country’s alchemist.” Before the madam could introduce him, Li Qiye smiled and slowly responded in her stead.

“It’s an honor to meet you at last.” The Lion Young King lightly said to Li Qiye before he stopped looking at him. If it wasn't for the madam, a n.o.body like Li Qiye wouldn’t even be worthy to speak with him. [2. Just a cordial/fake phrase.]

The young king wanted to talk to the madam, but she didn’t seem to be very interested and spoke to Li Qiye instead: “Young Master, we are here at Dao-sense Peak, would you like to go closer for a look?”

“Very well, since we are here, we might as well take a look at it.” Li Qiye smiled and stretched out his hand. The madam didn’t say anything and held his hand to help him down from the carriage.

This scene caused many people to be quite annoyed. In their eyes, Li Qiye was acting too big; he actually wanted a.s.sistance to descend from his carriage? Moreover, it was from a character of Madam Zi Yan’s level.

Keep in mind that very few youngsters present were qualified to even speak with her. They must at least be characters at the same level as the Lion Young King.

But now, a n.o.body like Li Qiye was being helped down from the carriage by the madam — this was s...o...b..ating beyond reason. Countless people were both jealous and envious in their minds, especially the youths who admired the madam. The only thing they wanted to do right now was to completely annihilate Li Qiye, but they could only mentally barrage him with curses.

The Lion Young King was about to explode from exasperation as well. He had been pursuing the madam for a very long time, but there was no reciprocation. And now, this n.o.body was able to enjoy such nice treatment. How could the young king not go crazy when the madam was showing Li Qiye so much favor?

However, such a thing to Li Qiye was natural, and he even took it for granted. After getting off the carriage, he went closer to the straight cliff ahead, accompanied by the madam.

“What a braggart…” Some people secretly scowled after seeing Li Qiye acting so pompously. Even if Li Qiye wasn’t arrogant, in the eyes of others, he was putting on a show, making others quite uncomfortable. Who was to blame when he had a beauty such as the madam accompanying him?

Li Qiye stood before the cliff and looked at the palm print on it before casually saying: “Needing to meditate about such a simple thing, what a joke.”
