Selling… Selling seafood?

Everyone around were completely floored. Even the Water Empress was astonished by this statement.

Some distance away, the merchant selling seafood who was indeed the team leader, was stumped as well.

My god. Who did I offend for this to happen to me? Why did I pull this idiot over and disguise him as a merchant? Why was I such a fool!

The Imperial Guard was extremely flustered and he peeled his sleeves up to his forearms and was about to slap himself several times over for being an idiot!

”Why have you come here?” The Water Empress was trying her hardest not to smile as she spoke to him wordlessly using soul strength to convey her message.

Xu Que’s heart was filled with suspicions. He had no idea how she could recognize him.

He then replied her using his soul strength as well, ”How did you recognize me even after I’ve disguised myself this way?”

”Your eyes!” The Water Empress whispered.

Xu Que was taken aback before he composed himself and sighed out. ”Indeed, I’ve always known. Someone as outstanding as myself will always stick out like fireflies in the night. I would always shine brightly and magnificently. Especially these eyes of mine which are deep and mysterious, and has captivated you. No matter which corners of the world I end up, you will always be able to recognize me. Is that right?”

When the Water Empress heard this, she laughed gently. When she laughed, her features straightened up and caused waves of beauty to radiate from her in all directions.

Everyone who had seen her laugh were shocked. Even the female Imperial Guards were stumped by this.

How could someone so perfectly beautiful exist in this world!

”The arrival of the Fire Emperor!”

Right at this point, a sharp and high pitched voice rang out from the end of the streets.

Boom!

Soon after, another powerful wave of energy was sent rippling outwards with the emergence of the Fire Emperor.

He was dressed in golden and red robes which were also filled with dragon embroideries. He was floating above fire clouds and appeared extremely awe inspiring as boundless majestic aura shot out from him.

When everyone turned around to look at him, they held their breaths in utmost reverence and admiration!

Even though he had been humiliated countless of times by Xu Que and caused him to lose face, he was still the Fire Emperor, the monarch of the Fire Nation.

This lofty and regal status was something that nobody could alter.

The Water Empress frowned as she withdrew her smile. She then looked at Xu Que as her lips moved faintly, but she conveyed her words through soul strength once again, ”Were you sent here by the Heavenly Explosion Faction?”

She had long heard of the exploits of this powerful sect while on the way to the Fire Nation and had also heard of all the things they had done here. She was taken aback and had never expected to meet Hua Wu Que here, of all places!

However, she had known Hua Wu Que before and was aware of the cultivation realm he was in. Hence, she knew that Hua Wu Que wasn’t as powerful as the Lord Prince Consort Xu Que. But still, she was in full admiration of Hua Wu Que and his talents and didn’t wish to see him being implicated here.

Xu Que didn’t reply to her, his face was still filled with a cold smile as his eyes emanated killing intent. At this point, he didn’t even bother hiding it!

The Fire Emperor looked rather magnificent, like a mighty tiger about to spring on its prey.

After he had been severely wounded by Xu Que, the Fire Emperor’s wounds hadn’t fully recovered. Additionally, Xu Que had absorbed all the Fire Essences from the magma pools. When he found out about this, he was enraged, knowing that the nation’s fortunes had been depleted. Hence, he had secretly arranged for a ritual to be conducted and he was ready to sacrifice Madam Ya to restore his prosperity.

However, it was a pity that just last night, Xu Que had already taken Madam Ya’s purity. Hence, unbeknownst to him, he had already lost the protection of the Fire God.

The Fire Emperor was still in the dark about this matter and his face revealed a smile as he received the Water Empress.

”Hehe... dog Emperor, I shall let you smile for now. Before long, I shall make your cry.” Xu Que was laughing hysterically in his heart.

His plan was very simple. He would wait for the Fire Emperor to come nearer before he attack him. Xu Que would catch him off guard and beat him into a pulp. He would then use a spell to capture him, and act tough from start to end!

At this point, the Water Empress spoke in his mind via soul strength once again.
