AST 1906 - Preparations, Swaying Beauty (1/2)

No matter how they killed the Great State Master, the situation would still improve. It was a better alternative to being killed by him. Qing Shui and everyone made the food personally after returning to the Imperial Cuisine Hall, he wanted everyone to have a good meal and also eat more. After all, no one could be sure that they were out of trouble.

The woman had stood along with the rest of the people, she wanted to go to the Heavenly Chess Immortal Palace to ask for help,. Unfortunately, that would take too long and she wasn’t sure whether they would arrive in time.

There was one other thing. After the Poison Dragon King had eaten the Ancient Demonic Fruit and the Fortune Golden Pellet, his strength increased a lot. Before this happened, he was already the strongest out of the group and now he was even stronger with his 40 million Dao Force. It must be known that if the strength didn’t improve much at the early stage, it would be even harder for it to improve in the future.

Another thing that needs to be mentioned was that the Poison Dragon King’s blood and foundation were solidified many times. Although his strength didn’t increase much, it was still around 10 million Dao Force, which was already very scary. Overall, his actual battle strength and toxicity increased many times.

This made the Poison Dragon King very happy and he also felt the strength of this young man. It made him satisfied with this new master. He didn’t to always fight for him, so he was able to live normally and being treated as though he were a guest.

Another thing was that he wasn’t alone with such privileges, there were also his new colleagues. A large man, a cool person dressed in black, a half-aged old man, and a teenage girl. These were the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant, Dark Phoenix, Old Turtle Sucking Pearl, and Dragon Spider.

They normally didn’t talk much, unless the conversation was directed towards them. But Qing Shui and the rest would never forget to consider their views, especially the one of the Old Turtle Sucking Pearl since he was experienced, knowledgeable, and with a rich history.

When the table was filled with food, the Poison Dragon King was astonished. Firstly it was because of how nice it smelled, then it was because the food was made by his master, Qing Hanye was the one cooking.

The Dark Phoenix, Dragon Spider, and the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant all ate a lot. It wasn’t the first time they ate, especially the Dragon Spider. After all, she still had the mind of a teenager and was staring at the food on the table. Qing Shui immediately gave her a dish since there were no guests this time. He patted her head and smiled.

When the woman saw Qing Shui’s smile she was stunned, especially to how he treated the Dragon Spider, he treated her as if she was his own child. It made her feel that this man had some sort of charisma, which was especially comforting.

He took out his best wine. The Plum Blossom Wine and Tiger Bone Liquor, he put it across the table.

“The events of today have passed and we’ll talk about it later. Let us feast! Don’t hold back!” Qing Shui took up the wine in front of him.

The woman filled her jade cup. The scene of her snow-white jade hands and the shiny jade cup, along with the jade-like wine, it was all so charming and extraordinary. She was capable of toppling cities over. All the women near her were already drunk and the wine complemented the aroma of the food.

This time the Poison Dragon King’s two eyes lit up. He was astonished again after he put down his glass and reached for the food. The dragons loved food and wine as much as their treasure troves, but the meal for the night was enough to make him surrender. It wasn’t that his will was too weak, but the food was just too good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t eat that much and would look after his image first.

The wine wasn’t just good, it also increased the strength and cleansed the body. The Poison Dragon King wasn’t the only one that felt this, the woman also did. It was the first time that they had seen wine with this kind of effect and they weren’t even sure whether it could be called as a wine. It was worth a lot, so priceless that even money couldn’t buy it. Just one whiff was enough to tell that it had been stored for over a few thousand years, which was very rare even for the normal wine.

Qing Shui originally wanted to eat a lot, but with the three monsters here, all the food had gone into their bellies and there was nothing left at the end of the meal. The few women barely ate and just drank some wine, but they drank a lot.

The woman didn’t eat a lot even though she wanted to, but she just couldn’t compete with the few monsters.

After not completely expressed himself, the Poison Dragon King put down the plate in his hand. That move was quite comical and made him look like a great man. Precisely, a mature and charismatic man, if they put aside the view of him gobbling up all the food, which stunned people at the start. Actually, in the end, he was also a little embarrassed, then he smiled, “It’s too good, much better than the top restaurants. This is what an actual imperial cuisine tastes like. Before this, I thought that this place was a rumor or even more like a hospital. I didn’t think that it’d be like this.”

“It’s also not that late and we can’t eat too much good food, if we eat too much even the best food would taste revolting to us. I was wondering whether the food here is always this good or does this only happen once in a while. Because even the most ordinary dish tonight tasted good and produced such a good effect.”

As a martial artist of this stature, not eating for months wasn’t much of a problem.

“This is also true, but I can be sure that even if I ate this every day I wouldn’t get sick of it…”

What they talked about next, was naturally about other things.

“Brother Shui, I’ve already told the Heavenly Chess Immortal Palace, but it would take them a while to come here,” the woman said lightly.

“Alright, there’s no need to be like this. I didn’t want to trouble you. I am not averse to business and it’s too peaceful now, I’m not too used to it,” Qing Shui smiled.

“We’ll leave the Five Poison Immortal Palace alone for. I estimated that they wouldn’t be a trouble for now. The main problem now is the Great Confucian Empire,” the Poison Dragon King said this time.

“Brother Dragon, you’ve been at the Great Confucian Empire for many years, do you have a good understanding of them?” Qing Shui asked.
