Chapter 26 : “Placing the love of thousands into one”
“Oy you stinky brat, tell me, is this the Old Man’s cultivation art good?” Now that Hong Xiaobao succeeded, Meng Xianji was extremely proud of him. After all, his cultivation art was something that others couldn’t even think of, let alone practise it ! And although it only had two boundaries, it was still an extremely rare martial art !
“Good, it is quite good indeed!” Hong Xiaobao said cheerfully.
When he said that, a loud “Growl~” could be heard from Hong Xiaobao’s stomach. He fell down on the floor, and started trembling in hunger.
“How am I suddenly so hungry ?” Beads of sweat poured down Hong Xiaobao’s forehead “This is something connected to my Greedy Wolf’s Body, right ? Swallowing the Heavens Phase ?”
“Naturally” Meng Xianji smiled “You’ve already reached 18 years old and now that you feel this intense hunger, it means that you’ve formally entered Swallowing the Heavens Phase ! From now on you can eat whatever you want ! Especially these spirit medicines…they are extremely useful to your cultivation !”
The most major characteristic of Swallowing the Heavens Phase was eating !
“Good! Then I won’t be polite!” Hong Xiaobao said with a nod, as he went out of his chamber and shouted “Guards! Guards! Come quickly, or this Prince’s life is not guaranteed to be kept !”
His shout has attracted the attention of all guards, that came running to him, as fast as they could. The guards leader came running first, so he asked “Your Highness, are you alright ? Is there an a.s.sa.s.sin ?!”
“No, there is not, but it’s a much more serious matter…I am hungry“ Hong Xiaobao said. He then asked “Last time, I asked for an artisan to make a thing for me. Was it delivered ?”
“Yes, it was” The guards leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said “Over the last few days, we were in the Great Healthcare, so we had no chance to install it. I’ll immediately order for my brothers to install it now !”
A few days earlier, Hong Xiaobao had ordered a craftsman to build everything needed for a methane-gathering pit to work. From pots, pans, and tableware sets, to pipes that connected the methane pit to a stove burner, finally various types of valves that regulated heat. Everything could be found there!
And although this world did not have the woven wire meshes, and other high-end things, but ordering them from a skilled blacksmith was not a problem at all!
Hong Xiaobao took one vacant room in the Xuan Xiao Pavilion, and ordered for the burner with the stove plate, tableware, seasonings, tables and chairs to be put in it. Afterwards, he went to the Spiritual Medicine Hall in the imperial palace, to look for some spirit medicine for him to eat.
As he was walking out of the Xuan Xiao Pavilion, he met Emperor Hong Wenqing on a walk with his wife, Empress Qiao Xianxian. There was also a two meters high fellow walking behind them with Yun Caixiao at the side. They were all heading towards Xuan Xiao Pavilion.
“Xiaobao, what are you doing?” When Hong Wenqing saw Hong Xiaobao he smiled, and said “I heard that two days back you had quite the encounter… A seven-star martial artist was frightened by you, right?”
Evidently, the matter of him scaring Guan Juxiong was already known to Hong Wenqing, so Hong Xiaobao wasn’t going to hide anything “Hah, I was just lucky that, that Big Stupid Bear was quite narrow-minded. Right, Father Emperor, what brings you and Mother Empress here?” As he said that, he bowed to the Empress “Child greets his Mother Empress” Then he also greeted the big fellow and Yun Caixiao “Hey, Third Brother! Hey, Little Sister Caixiao”
Empress was wearing a white Daxiushan. 1which was dripping to the floor. She had dark black hair, and the face of a flower, with golden jewelry dangling from her hair, which was combed in a simple bun. Her beautiful eyes were full of color, and her faint smile made her seem ethereal.
“Ha Ha, quite good” Empress gently smiled at Hong Xiaobao as she said “By calculating the time, you should’ve turned 18 years old already. Your Father Emperor and I, wanted to have a look at you. And if it is convenient, we could eat a dinner together”
So originally they wanted to celebrate his birthday!
