The Imperial City in the spring, accompanied by the fluttering spring rain, presented a sense of tranquility and silence. The huge ancient city was situated on a vast plain, simple and imposing.
Outside the Imperial City, the greenery on both sides of the official road was lush. The flower buds swayed in the wind and pollen drifted down, creating a tranquil and tranquil atmosphere.
On the official road, there were people from all over the Light Wind Empire rushing to the Imperial City. The Imperial City was the economic, political, and cultural center of the Light Wind Empire. Naturally, it was a place many people yearned to visit.
In the distant sky, a black dot was slowly enlarging. That black dot looked like a ball of darkness to the naked eye, but it was rapidly approaching the Imperial City. Its speed was as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning. Its speed was extremely fast.
In just a short while, the people on the official road felt as if the sky above their heads was covered by a layer of darkness. It was as if a dark cloud was approaching.
Some people raised their heads in confusion and were instantly frightened to the point of collapsing to the ground. Tears almost flowed out of their eyes.
How could there be any dark clouds in the sky? Instead, there was a gigantic spiritual beast. That spiritual beast was truly huge. When it spread its wings, it nearly covered the entire sky and earth. The heavy pressure it emitted made one's heart feel as if it was being tightly gripped.
What kind of monster was that!
The people on the official road were all frightened to the point of crawling on the ground. They were cautious and fearful, afraid that they would anger the monster in the sky and die a violent death.
Rumble!
The gigantic spirit beast landed in front of the Imperial Capital's city gate, causing a violent gale to blow, causing the guards guarding the gate to be incomparably terrified. The spirit beast was simply too huge, it was like a small mountain.
This was a Flood Dragon … The scales on its body were shining under the baptism of the spring rain. Its two fleshy wings slightly flapped, stirring up a violent wind.
Its huge lantern-like eyes turned and locked onto the guards at the city gate.
Roar!!
A dragon's roar was deafening. The people could not help but cover their ears, it was extremely uncomfortable.
On the dragon's back, a human with bulging muscles like a small mountain stepped out. The human's eyes were extremely cold, and the hair on his head was very short. However, each strand of hair stood up like steel needles.
"Light Wind Empire's Imperial City … Hmph, no matter who it is, I, Xia Yu, will make you pay for killing my brother!"
The man's eyes shone brightly, as if he could see through everything and stare directly at the things in the imperial capital.
He patted the head of the Flood Dragon and leaped into the air, landing in front of the Imperial City's gate.
A jade talisman floated up, and the Flood Dragon was sucked into it.
The man was naked, and his body was incomparably strong. He walked straight towards the Imperial Capital. One of the young guards was trembling as he tried to stop this dangerous man. However, he was killed by Xia Yu with a slap.
"Light Wind Empire, where is Fang Fang's Little Store?" After Xia Yu killed a guard, his eyes filled with killing intent swept across the place. He looked at the older guard who was sitting on the ground, trembling in fear.
That gaze terrified the guard, and he couldn't help but reveal the location of Bu Fang's restaurant.
Fang Fang's Little Store was famous in the Imperial City, so it was not surprising that the guard knew its location.
Xia Yu coldly snorted. With his hands behind his back, he walked toward the Imperial City. His destination was Fang Fang's Little Store.
...
Bu Fang sat on a chair, tilting his head as he looked at Xiao Xiaolong, whose face was flushed red. He held the heavy kitchen knife in his hand and tossed it up and down.
The result of the competition was out. Xiao Xiaolong was completely defeated, which was not out of Bu Fang's expectations. From the fact that Xiao Xiaolong came to the store so late in the morning, it could be seen that he had been slacking off a lot.
With a casual toss, the heavy kitchen knife landed in front of Xiao Xiaolong, and slashed at the chopping board, emitting a heavy sound.
"Hmm … You don't need to do anything else for today and tomorrow. Just take this kitchen knife and practice your cutting and carving skills. Only when I am satisfied will it be over." Bu Fang calmly said. After he finished speaking, he stood up, too lazy to care about Xiao Xiaolong's aggrieved expression.
Yu Fu sympathetically looked at Xiao Xiaolong. They had secretly picked up Bu Fang's heavy kitchen knife before. Not to mention cutting vegetables, it was already strenuous for them to even swing it.
Xiao Xiaolong's heart was filled with grief and indignation, but he had no other choice. He had dug a hole for himself, and even if he had to hold back his tears, he still had to jump into it.
Bu Fang walked into the store, and Fatty Jin and the others rushed over. Ouyang Xiaoyi also cheerfully ran into the store.
"Owner Bu, good morning! Long time no see. "Fatty Jin's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily at Bu Fang.
His army of fatties also rushed into the store. Ouyang Xiaoyi had already familiarly started to collect the dishes they had ordered, and after she was done, she reported it to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang also greeted the fatties, nodded his head, and returned to the kitchen.
He began to cook.
After a short while, the aroma of the dishes drifted out of the kitchen. While Bu Fang was cooking, Yu Fu respectfully stood at the side, quietly learning from him.
Xiao Xiaolong, on the other hand, was more sullen. He held the heavy kitchen knife with both hands, and his pale face became like a monkey's butt. That kitchen knife was really too heavy.
Thus, the store resumed its daily business.
The slightly plump elder from yesterday came again. Early in the morning, he couldn't wait to taste that delicacy again. That Dragon Liver Popsicle really made him unable to extricate himself from it.
The elder's dish was quickly carried out. The cube, which seemed to be inlaid with resplendent diamonds, made the customers exclaim in admiration once again.
A series of footsteps came from outside the alleyway, and a figure that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life stepped into the store.
Ji Chengxue's face was filled with exhaustion. He was wearing a white brocade robe, simple and natural.
"Eh … Your Majesty?" Ouyang Xiaoyi was the first to see Ji Chengxue, and she was immediately surprised. Ji Chengxue was a busy person, and he actually had the time to come to the store for a meal?
Ji Chengxue rubbed Ouyang Xiaoyi's head, let out a breath, and found a seat in the store to sit down.
"Give me a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, and also a bowl of Fish Head Tofu Soup," Ji Chengxue gently said. At this moment, he didn't seem like a dignified emperor, but more like a customer who was purely here to taste the delicacies.
After Ouyang Xiaoyi left, Ji Chengxue's eyes became a little empty. The environment of the store made him feel somewhat satisfied, and he still felt comfortable here.
In the current Light Wind Empire, there were too many vexing matters that worried him. Every day, there would be an unending stream of urgent reports, and none of them contained any good news.
Every city was threatened by spirit beasts, and the citizens were a little panicked. Even in areas far away from the imperial city, some restless people directly occupied large cities and proclaimed themselves kings.
Within a short period of time, chaos began to appear within the Light Wind Empire.
At this time, coupled with the news of Lian Fu's death … Ji Chengxue was truly mentally and physically exhausted.
When the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine arrived, Bu Fang grabbed the wine jar and walked out. He sat in front of Ji Chengxue and poured a cup for him.
"Chief Eunuch Lian … is dead." Ji Chengxue drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and fiddled with the wine cup. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he lightly said.
Bu Fang was startled. Chief Eunuch Lian … was he that seventh grade Battle-Saint eunuch who liked to pinch his thumb and middle finger? He was dead?
That eunuch's cultivation level was very high, and he had always been guarding the imperial palace. Now that he was dead … it was not a small blow to Ji Chengxue or even the entire empire.
The current Bu Fang was no longer the store owner who had just arrived in the Light Wind Empire. Once the Delicacy Map was opened, Bu Fang might not have a good understanding of the entire continent's situation, but he had a good understanding of the Light Wind Empire's territory, or rather the Southern Region.
In the Southern Region, the Light Wind Empire … was not a major power, and a Battle-Saint was already an extremely important resource for the empire.
Bu Fang did not know how to comfort Ji Chengxue. Even though Lian Fu was stripped a few times when he came to the store, Bu Fang did not dislike the eunuch too much. That old eunuch was actually a rather amusing person.
"My condolences." Bu Fang also felt an indescribable sadness. He said in a heavy tone as he poured a cup of wine for Ji Chengxue and himself, then drank it in one gulp.
Just as Bu Fang's cup was placed on the table.
A trembling sound rang out in the alleyway, followed by a loud whistling sound. A steel spear was shot from afar and directly smashed into the ground of the alleyway, smashing the recently repaired floor into smithereens.
The diners in the store were all startled one after another.
Bu Fang was startled and frowned. He could only hear the sound of the steel spear being pulled out from the ground.
"Where is the owner of the store … Since you dared to kill my brother, then come and accept your death obediently."
An ice-cold voice reverberated, carrying with it a strong killing intent as it approached the interior of the store.
