Chapter 76: Purple-Eyed Whitey, Extermination (2/2)
Blacky drowsily raised its head. When it saw the two corpses, it scrunched its nose and snorted. Then, it opened its doggy mouth and lightly exhaled. The two corpses were blown out of the alleyway by a sudden squall and flung onto the streets.
After doing this, Blacky contentedly lay down once more and continued sleeping.
...
Within King Yu's manor, a candle flame was slightly flickering.
An aged and gaunt figure wrapped within a black robe was deeply staring at the flickering candle flame. His eye sockets were filled with two lumps of azure spirit fire.
Suddenly, the spirit fire within Hun Qianyun's pupils became faint for a moment and the sound of something breaking rang out.
A sigh came from his mouth. ”As I thought… That store should not be provoked. Ah Long, Ah Hu… died just like that.”
Two figures silently appeared in front of Hun Qianyun and respectfully saluted.
”Ah Long and Ah Hu died. Go to the alleyway and retrieve their corpses… We failed the assassination this time. I'll go and seek forgiveness from King Yu.” Hun Qianyun tottered out of the room with his back hunched over.
The two Battle-Emperors of the Soul Sect were feeling bewildered. Before Ah Long and Ah Hu set off, they already solemnly reminded them to be careful. However, not much time has passed… The two were already dead?
Two fifth grade Battle-Kings could not even struggle?
The two of them looked each other in the eye and could feel the fear in the other's eyes.
...
”Your Highness, we failed the assassination this time,” with his back hunched over, Hun Qianyun simply said to King Yu.
King Yu was wearing a luxurious robe with his hair loose and a peaceful expression on his face. As he glanced at Hun Qianyun, the corner of his mouth widened into a smile.
”Understood, I'll give your subordinates a good burial. You may withdraw first,” King Yu softly said.
Hun Qianyun's spirit fire slightly jumped. He did not say anything as he turned around and left. There was not even the slightest bit of intimidating aura or energy coming from his body. He was like an ordinary elderly man with one foot in his grave.
However, King Yu did not dare to underestimate him. Hun Qianyun was the number one expert within the Soul Sect. His cultivation level was profound and he was most specialized in the way of the souls. Reportedly, he had already entered the realm of a seventh grade Battle-Saint. However, there were others who said that he was only a peak-level sixth grade Battle-Emperor.
As King Yu watched Hun Qianyun's figure disappear, his eyes were gradually filled with interest.
”This old fox is truly ruthless. He actually used the lives of two Battle-Kings to display his sincerity. Very well… Then I shall trust you for the time being.” King Yu looked demonically charming as the corners of his mouth curled up.
”Fang Fang's Little Store… What kind of secrets is this store that suddenly appeared hiding?”
Compared to the Soul Sect, King Yu suddenly discovered that he was more curious about that store.
A night peacefully passed.
The next morning, Bu Fang woke up early as usual. He first went to the kitchen and began his daily cutting technique practice. He held a heavy kitchen knife as he rapidly chopped up radishes. After finishing his cutting technique practice, Bu Fang began to cook Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. It was breakfast meant for Blacky who was sooner or later going to turn into a pig.
Fatty Jin and his buddies majestically arrived with impatient expressions. As Bu Fang had suspended business the day before, they had to suffer from their craving for an entire day. After getting used to Bu Fang's dishes, the food from other restaurants were tasteless.
”Owner Bu! You're finally open for business! Oh my, there's a new dish! Come, give me a serving of every dish!” Fatty Jin ordered his dishes in an experienced manner.
Bu Fang expressionlessly nodded and headed toward the kitchen. His daily business had started.
Ouyang Xiaoyi arrived at the store while enduring the cold wind. She rubbed her hands together and removed her fur overcoat and her hat, revealing her rosy face. There was automatic heating in the store, so the interior was quite warm and very cozy.
Bu Fang cooked the dishes while Xiaoyi served them. The rapport between the two of them was becoming better and better.
At the entrance of the alleyway, King Yu, with an imposing appearance and extraordinary temperament, slowly approached while wearing a brocade robe. He stepped into the store and indifferently sized up the interior.
It was King Yu's first time coming to Bu Fang's store, so everything felt new to him. The astronomical prices of the dishes were especially interesting to him.
After ordering a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine and a plate of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, King Yu began to sample the delicacies of Bu Fang's store.
At the same time… He waited for the crown prince to arrive.
