Chapter 112: Claiming the Reward

[In the Divine World…

[In an instant, torrential rain fell from the sky above the entire Divine World, filling the sky with a rain of blood that fell on the human world.

[All the living beings in the Divine World sensed it.

[Pitter-patter, bright red as blood.

[All the living beings suddenly heard a miserable and incomparably painful sound, completely enveloping the entire Divine World. The desolate and distant sorrowful singing was as if the Heavenly Dao was crying.

[When a Thearch died, heaven and earth mourned together.

[Numerous powerful auras instantly erupted, enveloping the entire world.

[Even the Earth Sovereign was the same.

[The auras of the six great sovereigns intersected and reflected each other. After confirming that the one who had died was the Life Sovereign, all of the sovereigns were furious.

[Six figures gathered in the void.

“Which one of you did it?”

[The Earth Sovereign was the first to make a move. She was sneakily calling out to catch the thief, and she even displayed an incomparably furious state.

“Hmph! I’ve always been close with the G.o.ddess of Life. Why would I kill her?”

“Although the G.o.ddess of Life wasn’t very strong, she was always in her divine kingdom. With the support of the spirit spring of life, even if we attacked, we wouldn’t be able to kill her without anyone noticing.”

“Could it be an expert from the outer realms?”

“Are you saying that… You suspect that an expert from the outer realms infiltrated her divine kingdom just like back then?”

…

[The six sovereigns discussed for a while in the void. In the end, they decided that the Time Sovereign and the s.p.a.ce Sovereign would work together to inspect the entire world. With the two of them working together, they could even travel through the long river of time and s.p.a.ce. They would look at all the traces left behind.

[After that, they would disappear.

Within the divine hall…

Within the magnificent and exquisite hall, a fire was currently rising. It wasn’t because you had roasted and eaten the Earth Sovereign’s jade rabbit.

[Even if one gave you a few more guts, you would not dare to do so.

[Didn’t you just check the jade rabbit out of curiosity if it was male or female? After confirming that it was a female, you put it down.

[Who knew that the jade rabbit would start to cry out of shame and anger? The tears kept falling down like they were free.

[You coaxed it for a long time, but it did not have any effect.

[In fact, the rabbit even used its head to hit the pillar. It was as if there were blood stains on the spot.

[After much persuasion, you finally stopped the jade rabbit from committing suicide.

[However, you were also forced to agree to make 100 of the best delicacies for the jade rabbit.

[And what you were making now was a famous dish—roasted chicken wings.

[Chicken wings from a heaven-and-earth spirit chicken raised in the backyard of the Earth Sovereign. You didn’t know its other uses, but it had the third-step power, so you chopped off two of its wings. It was fine anyway, and it could grow them back with a little Spiritual Qi.

[The most important thing was the marinade. In order to find spices such as chilies and c.u.min, you went to great lengths and found a few immortal herbs in the Earth Sovereign’s treasure pavilion. They were different but had the same effect.

[You crushed them, used them as marinade, and smeared them on the chicken wings.

[For a moment, the entire temple was filled with an intoxicating fragrance.

[The eyes of the jade rabbit were shining. She stood on two legs and drooled.

[At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the divine hall.

“What… are you doing?”

The hall instantly turned cold.

[Even the flame of the roasted chicken wings had weakened and was on the verge of extinguishing.

[The jade rabbit saw that her master had returned and hurriedly jumped toward her master’s arms.

“Pa!”

[The Earth Sovereign’s slap sent the jade rabbit flying.

“There’s another aura on your body. Don’t come near me…”

[The jade rabbit pouted, covered her face with one of her paws, and wept as she ran out of the temple.

[Your entire body stiffened as you looked at the ice-cold Earth Sovereign and said with a trembling voice, “Your Highness, your subordinate has mastered cooking a delicious dish. I had the time, so I specially made it for Your Highness to taste…”

[The hall was dead silent.

[An hour later…

[The delicious roasted chicken wings were finally cooked. On the dining table, other than the chicken wings you made, there were other dishes as well.

[Your outstanding performance won the favor of those who ate with the G.o.ddess.

[The jade rabbit had also returned. She must have gone to take a bath or used some method to make your aura disappear. This time, the Earth Sovereign did not chase her away.

“Your Majesty, this five-spice charcoal roasted chicken wing is my best dish. First, I have to choose a good spirit chicken and feed it with all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Then, I have to use a great amount of magic power to gather all the spiritual power on the chicken wings.

“Then, I have to repeatedly marinate and wash it. Then, I have to choose the divine charcoal that fell when the world was first opened. Finally, I have to slowly roast it over a fire—”

“You need to exaggerate and brag at the side to ease your guilty conscience.”

[The Earth Sovereign looked at you quietly until you shut your mouth in embarra.s.sment. Then, she picked up the chopsticks you had prepared and picked up a piece of soft meat from the chicken wing very naturally.

[Because the heaven-and-earth spirit chicken was relatively big, the entire chicken wing was half the size of a human. You had already carefully cut the meat into small pieces, so it was very convenient to pick it.

[The Earth Sovereign slowly put the meat into her mouth, chewed it twice, and paused for a few seconds. Then, she said coldly, “Not bad…”

[You were very satisfied. It was already very difficult to get the word ‘not bad’ from this tsundere G.o.ddess.

[Just like that, you shared a meal with the G.o.ddess. The G.o.ddess ate a few mouthfuls of chicken wings and then stopped eating. But you, you ate a lot of things without much knowledge.

“Since you’ve finished eating, scram.”

[The Earth Sovereign’s red lips curled up slightly as she spoke without any politeness.

[She had just devoured the Life Sovereign and had yet to refine her. Being able to have a meal with you already showed that your position in her heart was not light.

[You suppressed the evil thoughts that emerged from the bottom of your heart and pretended to hesitate as you spoke.

“Your Highness, I’ve captured the Life Sovereign for you. The reward you promised before…”

[The Earth Sovereign’s expression remained the same as she slightly raised her head and replied, “Speak.”

[You couldn’t help but squint and lower your eyebrows. You looked at the smooth floor and calmed down your nervous emotions. However, you were still a little embarra.s.sed to open your mouth.

[Looking at your timid and nervous appearance, the Earth Sovereign slowly stood up. She moved her lotus steps lightly, but the meaning in her eyes was unclear.

After a long period of silence, you took a deep breath and slowly raised your head. Looking at the Earth Sovereign not far away and at her alluring red lips, you greedily licked your lips.

“Empress—”

[Your figure was once again kicked out, slamming into the wall of the main hall.

[You spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling a little embarra.s.sed. You didn’t even say anything before you got kicked. What kind of logic was this?

[Although this kick didn’t cause much damage due to your cultivation, such an action was very insulting.

[You stood up stubbornly and said without hesitation, “Your Highness! Your subordinate would like to kiss your lips!”]
