Chapter 138: The Egg-Fried Rice That One Could Never Get Tired Of

”Owner Bu, many thanks for your help,” Ji Chengxue said with a smile as he performed a fist and palm salute. As he looked at Bu Fang's serene appearance, he could not help but be somewhat amazed.

A fourth grade Battle-Spirit was actually able to injure a seventh grade Battle-Saint to the point where he was vomiting blood and force him to run away. Even though he might have exploited the magic array to accomplish this, this was already considered an incredible achievement.

It was a fact that the difference between a Battle-Spirit and a Battle-Saint was like a chasm and was basically insurmountable.

”Owner Bu is mysterious indeed… His identity is definitely not simple!” Ji Chengxue thought.

Bu Fang gave Ji Chengxue a glance and went into a daze for a moment. Only then did he gestured toward the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit in his hand and said, ”This fruit… Can you give it to me?”

Bu Fang looked at Ji Chengxue very seriously. He believed the latter would not refuse him.

Even though the Path-Understanding Fruit was valuable, Bu Fang used the Phoenix Blood Herb to save Ji Chengxue before. The value of the Phoenix Blood Herb was not any lower than the Path-Understanding Fruit. Besides… In order to return the favor of saving his life, Ji Chengxue would probably not refuse.

Emperor Changfeng had already passed away and King Yu was punished by him. The crown prince fell from grace while Ji Chengxue was the successor named in the posthumous edict. Now, he was the person who was definitely going to ascend the throne. In other words, Ji Chengxue was already confirmed to be the next emperor of the Light Wind Empire.

”Give the fruit to Owner Bu… I don't see a reason not to!” Ji Chengxue solemnly replied.

Subsequently, Bu Fang delightedly nodded and patted Ji Chengxue on his shoulder. He thought, ”I knew I didn't save you for nothing…”

The lid of the coffin was put back in place and the eight topless Battle-Kings lifted up the coffin once more. They followed the path and walked all the way out of the majestic Gate of Heavenly Mystery.

As they stepped into the imperial city's Long Street, the citizens were all standing on the sides of the street and quietly looking at the bronze coffin. The silence was filled with grief and reverence.

Emperor Changfeng, an outstanding ruler, was indeed worthy of their reverence.

The snow swirling in the sky seemed to have turned into withered petals as they drifted down in large volumes, as if accompanying the elegy being played by the court musicians.

As the funeral procession proceeded on, the sides of the street were filled with citizens. Some of them had puffy eyes, while others were kowtowing despite the chilly weather...

People could not help but sigh as they watched these scene unfold.

Ji Chengxue's gaze was filled with determination. The various actions of the citizens were all affecting him emotionally. He was astonished to realize that the stern and imposing father in his eyes was actually loved and respected by so many people. This was a true monarch, the actual sovereign of an empire.

He… wanted to become an emperor like this as well!

...

Bu Fang returned to the store and collapsed on a chair. He was so tired that he did not want to move at all. After activating the Double Calamity Dragon Head Array, the true energy within his dantian was completely depleted. It was as unbearable as going without food for three days.

However, even though he suffered so much, Bu Fang was still quite pleased with the result. There was no other reason but the fact that he obtained the Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit!

It was a seventh grade spirit fruit, a treasure with a price but no market. It was the main ingredient for the wine he was going to brew next.

Bu Fang took out the Path-Understanding Fruit and its fragrance immediately permeated the store. The three cloud-like patterns on its surface were like drifting white clouds, causing Bu Fang's eyes to follow them. Each of the cloud-like patterns seemed to be emanating a strange fragrance. As Bu Fang breathed in the fragrance, he felt the rotational speed of the true energy vortex inside his body suddenly increased.

According to rumors, there was a high probability of a sixth grade Battle-Emperor gaining the opportunity to become a seventh grade Battle-Saint after consuming the Path-Understanding Fruit. That was the reason for the fruit's high value.
