Chapter 796: The Emperor’s Personal Chambers (1/2)
Feiyun never saw him in action outside of running for his life when pursued by Xie Honglian. The guy’s cultivation shouldn’t be that high which makes all of his feats even more impressive.
“Aren’t you captured by Xie Honglian? How did you get out?” Feiyun activated a stealth formation in order to hide the area near them.
An armored patrol walked by a while later. Their radiant armors automatically served as lamps.
Above were beast riders on patrol as well. They had spirit mirrors capable of spotting hidden intruders. Of course, these mirrors weren’t enough to see through Feiyun’s formation.
Ningshuai flicked his hair in a cool manner and said: “No chains in this world can bind me, not even the great formation of Sacred Spirit nor the grasp of heaven. Really now, I can go wherever I want. I was thinking that if I could steal some of the emperor’s clothes… Okay, okay, her stuff is yours, I’m not interested in that twisted girl…”
“You’re interested in the treasury.” Feiyun smiled.
“I’m interested too.” The turtle peeked out and added.
Bi Ningshuai’s expression changed. He rubbed his nose before coughing awkwardly: “Mmm, I think the prettiest lady at Jewel Palace is dancing tonight, I’m gonna go get a drink there.”
“Go for it, I’ll be going to the palace and tell Long Luofu that someone wants to steal her undergarments.” Feiyun patted the guy’s shoulder and told him to leave.
Ningshuai’s legs suddenly trembled and he pretended to cry: “Don’t play around with me like this, you’re not the motherfucking Divine King anymore, why do you give a damn? I just want to go sight-seeing through the treasury, that’s all, just a friendly tourist, why are you so rude to a tourist, where are your morals?!”
Feiyun took everything he got from the Grand Tutor’s mansion last time. This naturally pained him to no end.
This time, he prepared for a while before heading to the imperial palace’s treasury only to meet Feng Feiyun again. He felt that all of his spoils would be taken away.
“I know that things have been hard for you so how can I bear to snitch? I just want to ask one thing, how many spirit stones have you stol-, gathered in recent years? Just out of curiosity.”
“Just out of curiosity, really now?”
“Do you think I don’t have enough money? You can throw a mountain in front of me and I still wouldn’t care.” Feiyun placed his arm around Ningshuai’s shoulder like a good friend.
“That’s true.” Ningshuai nodded since he knew that the guy had robbed the underground gambling hall.
That amount was enough to make him salivate so he stopped worrying: “Money has been tight for me, I only have 100,000 spirit stones in my pouch.”
He remembered that the guy was poor during the previous auction at the capital. He gathered quite a bit in the last few years.
“That’s it?” He sneered like a rich man looking at a beggar.
Ningshuai couldn’t handle the contemptuous glance and arched his chest: “Well, that’s just half. I actually have close to 200,000, keke!”
“Really?!” Feiyun put on a frightened expression.
“I’ll turn into a worthless turtle if I’m lying.”
The turtle’s expression soured, thinking that Bi Ningshuai didn’t see it clearly.
“Perfect, hand all of it over right now.” Feiyun’s expression became serious.
It was Bi Ningshuai’s turn to grimace. He stared deeply at Feiyun before turning to flee.
Unfortunately, Feiyun caught him and pressed him against the wall.
“Feng Feiyun, you beast! You think it was easy for me to gather these things in the last few years? No, I toiled and risked my life! Now, you want to take it all away!? Just kill me then!” Bi Ningshuai had tears all over. He eventually closed his eyes, seemingly ready to die.
“That’s fine, I’ll die too if I don’t gather five million stones. Go down there first and wait for me.” Feiyun said.
“Wait! Wait! Why do you have to get so many stones? All of the ore mines in Jin being emptied still won’t yield this number.” Ningshuai stopped him.
