Chapter 58: Your Majesty… You Must Seek Justice for Your Humble Servant (2/2)
Chi chi!
Each of the four men blocking in front of Xiao Yue spat out a mouthful of blood as they took a step back. They grabbed hold of Xiao Yue and Hun Qianduan, and escaped by flying away.
Xiao Meng's figure trembled and his entire body convulsed before he was able to dissipate the energy that was twined around his body. However, within that short period of time, Xiao Yue was already taken away.
”Damn it… I knew Xiao Yue had a backup plan!” Xiao Meng was unable to accept it as he silently cursed. He smashed his fist into the wall out of frustration and innumerous cracks immediately appeared.
”It's all because of this big black dog! Xiao Yue was already surrounded by us… and his capture was nigh! Why did you blow him out!” Lian Fu was exasperated as he turned around and gestured toward the interior of the store with his thumb and middle finger pinched together.
”Are you pointing at me with your fingers?” A dog strode out of the store like a cat and stood at the entrance as it arrogantly looked toward Lian Fu.
”I am talking about you! Don't think that I would be afraid of you just because your surprise attack succeeded!” Lian Fu said as he rocked and swinged his slim waist.
Blacky's doggy mouth slightly widened into a meaningful smile...
Then, Lian Fu felt a surge of intimidating aura poured down from above the nine heavens and instantly pressed down on him. It was like he was being pressed down by a majestic mountain as he lay on his stomach and could not move.
Lian Fu went into a daze as his white hair dangled in front of him and completely covered his face… How embarrassing.
Xiao Meng's pupils constricted as he thought, ”This intimidating aura… This big black dog is actually… a ninth grade supreme beast!”
”Owner Bu… This time, it's our fault for offending you. Could you let this… lord dog back off?” Xiao Meng said toward the store as he executed a fist and palm salute.
Bu Fang walked out from the store. His lean figure and tied up long hair made him appear neat and tidy.
”This lazy dog, Blacky, has a bad temper… I will take this time as a lesson to the eunuch. Remember, next time when you're here… Make sure to follow the rules,” Bu Fang expressionlessly said.
After he finished speaking, Bu Fang stroked Blacky's smooth and immaculate fur, and indifferently said, ”Stop fooling around and release that eunuch.”
Blacky turned its head and said, ”What if I said no?”
”Then I'll wake up later tomorrow and skip cooking practice...” Bu Fang remained expressionless as he seriously said.
”Alright, I'll let him go.” Blacky snorted as it rolled his eyes at Bu Fang. It strode like a cat toward the corner of the wall and went to sleep at a comfortable spot.
The corner of Bu Fang's mouth slightly widened as he thought, ”So, the final line of defence mentioned by the system was this freeloading dog. No wonder… With the system's miserly personality, there's no way that the system would be raising a big black dog that was ready to evolve into a pig.”
”Oh, my waist!” When Lian Fu felt that the intimidating aura pressing down on him had disappeared, he hurriedly got up from the ground and fearfully looked toward Blacky. He did not dare to say anything else and ran away with his tail between his legs while only wearing a loincloth.
”Blacky is awesome!” Ouyang Xiaoyi happily clapped her hands as her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape. ”He's so much stronger than dad.”
General Ouyang Zongheng felt as if an invisible arrow had pierced into his chest… In the eyes of his obedient daughter, he was already incomparable to a dog.
”Thank you, Owner Bu,” Xiao Meng solemnly thanked Bu Fang. Then he meaningfully looked toward Blacky who was soundly asleep and left.
Xiao Meng needed to report to the emperor that the plan to capture Xiao Yue and Hun Qianduan had failed.
Immediately, the experts within the alleyway quickly disappeared like a receding tide. Ouyang Xiaoyi was taken away by Ouyang Zongheng as well. While she was leaving, she even happily waved toward Bu Fang.
Once everyone had left, Bu Fang glanced toward Blacky, who was soundly asleep. He then entered the store and closed up the entrance.
...
”Your Majesty, you must seek justice for me! That unscrupulous store is really impudent and has no respect for the law! They actually dare to shelter criminals from the sects! When I tried to intervene… They even tore off my clothes!” Lian Fu grievously complained to Ji Changfeng, who was sitting on the dragon throne. His entire face was filled with tears.
The emperor only chuckled as he placated Lian Fu. His gaze shifted toward Xiao Meng who was standing upright within the large hall.
”General Xiao… Is the store really as magical as you said? There's a ninth grade supreme beast guarding the place?”
”Your humble servant's words are all true,” Xiao Meng solemnly said.
The emperor's eyes narrowed as he stroked his white beard and faintly smiled. ”I heard that the dishes within the store are delicious… That there's even a rumor of a wine that's better than the Bejewelled Nectar Wine?
”I… am really quite curious.”
