Chapter 1228 - 1228 Unt.i.tled
1228 Unt.i.tled
Hearing this, Jing Ju pulled Yu Huang towards the square outside the banquet hall, and the other guests followed behind.
Some time ago, there was a battle between the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan and the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan. In that battle, Prime Emperor Ze An was like a G.o.d and was invincible as he led the warriors of the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan to force the Black Qing Sky Dragons into the Endless Sea.
After this battle, Prime Emperor Ze An became the current supreme powerhouse of the Divine Feather Continent.
Today, many people had traveled thousands of miles to the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan to partic.i.p.ate in Jing Ju’s birthday banquet for the purpose of seeing Prime Emperor Ze An and getting to know him.
A white spiritual light arrived at the mountain range outside the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan from the distant sky in the blink of an eye. Then, the spiritual power gathered on a pine tree and transformed into the appearance of an adult man.
The man’s attire was very ancient. It was a silver-white long robe with narrow sleeves and a sword, which was his only accessory, carved from ice crystal marrow hung on his belt. His coat was a light golden long-sleeved robe embroidered with snowflakes.
He stood on the tall and straight pine tree. He was clearly standing under the scorching sun, but he gave off a lonesome and aloof vibe.
This was the legendary Prime Emperor Ze An.
Sheng Xiao had mentioned Prime Emperor Ze An to Yu Huang before, but when he mentioned him, his tone was always filled with hatred and disdain. As a love rival and nemesis, even if Prime Emperor Ze An was handsome, he was still a b.a.s.t.a.r.d in Sheng Xiao’s eyes.
Yu Huang had always thought that Prime Emperor Ze An was a fierce and burly man. However, after seeing Prime Emperor Ze An’s figure, Yu Huang realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were.
However, they were far apart, so Yu Huang had yet to take a closer look at his appearance.
Just as she was about to look at his face, she heard Jing Ju laugh loudly and say loudly, “Brother Ze’an, please come in and talk!”
The white shadow on the pine tree flashed slightly and appeared at the edge of the square in the next second.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Yu Huang and Jing Ju.
Prime Emperor Ze An lowered his head as he said to Jing Ju, “Congratulations on breaking through to the thousand-year-old realm, Patriarch. I wish you longevity!” After saying that, he stood up and waved his right hand gently. Then, a sword carved from ice crystal marrow appeared.
That sword was exactly the same as the sword pendant on Prime Emperor Ze An’s waist.
“This is the chest bone of the Black Qing Sky Dragon Race’s First Elder. I carved it into the appearance of two swords that can be used as pendants.” After Prime Emperor Ze An pushed his right hand forward, the sword floated in front of Jing Ju. Prime Emperor Ze An smiled at Jing Ju and said, “May the Divine Feather Phoenix Race’s Patriarch live as long as the heavens!”
“Alright!” Jing Ju was overjoyed as he reached out and held the sword.
The moment the dragon bone encountered the Divine Feather Phoenix, it would become as cold as ice.
When Jing Ju felt the coldness released from the sword, he laughed loudly. “This is really the most meaningful birthday gift I’ve received today. Brother Ze’an, please come in and have a chat!”
Prime Emperor Ze An didn’t enter the room with Jing Ju. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and looked at Yu Huang.
When he saw Yu Huang’s appearance, mirth instantly appeared in Prime Emperor Ze An’s eyes and he said, “It’s been five years since we last met. Ah Huang, you’ve grown up.”
However, ever since Yu Huang saw Prime Emperor Ze An’s face clearly, she had been in a daze.
Because on a closer look, he looked very similar to Feng Yuncheng.
Was this really just a coincidence?
As Yu Huang stared at Prime Emperor Ze An’s handsome face, his and Feng Yuncheng’s facesy flashed across her mind repeatedly. The more she compared them, the more she felt that they were similar.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Prime Emperor Ze An walked in front of Yu Huang and tapped her forehead with a smile as he said, “Five years isn’t that long, but you don’t recognize me anymore?”
Jing Ju and the others were shocked when they saw Prime Emperor Ze An’s reaction.
When had Prime Emperor Ze An ever smiled so gently at a woman?
The way Prime Emperor Ze An looked at Yu Huang was clearly filled with affection.
Jing Ju looked at Prime Emperor Ze An, then at his beloved daughter. For a moment, he had mixed feelings.
d.a.m.n!
Prime Emperor Ze An was someone of the same age as him. As a father, he felt uncomfortable that his daughter was coveted by him.
But…
If he really wanted to find a man for Jing Huang from all the men in the world, Prime Emperor Ze An would undoubtedly be the best choice.
With all sorts of thoughts in mind, Jing Ju remained silent.
Yu Huang could naturally see the affection in Prime Emperor Ze An’s eyes.
It seemed that Prime Emperor Ze An didn’t propose to Jing Huang purely because of her ident.i.ty and status. He genuinely liked Jing Huang.
When she thought about how Jing Huang had agreed to marry Prime Emperor Ze An in order to steal Yu Aofeng’s beast heart, Yu Huang felt pity for Prime Emperor Ze An.
She felt that it was cruel for Jing Huang to do this.
If it were her, she would have asked Prime Emperor Ze An for it openly. If she couldn’t get it, she would fight until the other party relented.
“It’s been five years since we last met, but Prime Emperor Ze An has become even more charming. I thought that I saw a G.o.d, so I was stunned for a moment.” Yu Huang’s words were 30% false and 70% true. Amused by her, Prime Emperor Ze An scratched Yu Huang’s nose and shook his head as he lamented, “Grow up quickly.”
When they heard his words, everyone’s expressions changed.
Grow up quickly.
This wasn’t just literal.
Prime Emperor Ze An was sending a message to everyone—
He had his eyes on this woman.
Yu Huang took a deep breath. She really didn’t understand why Prime Emperor Ze An liked Jing Huang.
Prime Emperor Ze An was so handsome that he could obtain any woman he wanted, but he fancied Jing Huang instead.
After Prime Emperor Ze An arrived, the birthday banquet officially began.
As the main butler shouted for the dishes to be served, a group of servants walked up with plates of delicious food. The cuisine of this era was mainly barbecued and steamed, and there was no stir-fried food. The table in front of Yu Huang was filled with delicious roasted meat.
She was so hungry.
She was so hungry that she was about to salivate.
At this moment, she saw eight servants carrying a tied-up black Magic Flood Dragon in. The Magic Flood Dragon was injured, but it wasn’t dead yet. They placed the Magic Flood Dragon on the large furnace in the middle of the banquet hall. Four servants were in charge of turning the grill, two servants were in charge of adding firewood, and two servants were in charge of adding seasoning to the Magic Flood Dragon with a knife to make it taste better.
The Magic Flood Dragon spoke in human language as it cried ferociously. “Kill me! Kill me directly!”
“Please kill me!”
When Yu Huang heard the other party’s miserable cries for mercy, her heart ached.
But when she smelled the meaty smell coming from the other party’s body…
Her stomach growled.
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s stomach growl, Prime Emperor Ze An suddenly smiled and said to the servant who was roasting meat with a knife, “Take the snake skin from the abdomen of the Magic Flood Dragon and send it to the Young Master to try.” Snakeskin was the phoenixes’ favorite food.
Prime Emperor Ze An was openly biased.
That slave’s knife technique was impressive. In a few moves, it cut off the snake skin on the Magic Flood Dragon’s abdomen and brought it to Yu Huang. At this moment, the Magic Flood Dragon cursed loudly in Yu Huang’s direction, “Stupid bird! Stupid woman! You will suffer retribution!”
As Yu Huang stared at the delicious snake skin on the plate, she was extremely hungry, but her rationality told her not to eat it!
Seeing that Yu Huang didn’t touch her chopsticks, Prime Emperor Ze An said to her, “What, you don’t like it?”
Yu Huang said, “I like it. It smells too good, so I want to smell it some more.”
Hearing this, Prime Emperor Ze An asked Jing Ju, “Patriarch, how long have you starved her for?”
Jing Ju rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t listen to her nonsense.”
Prime Emperor Ze An naturally knew that Yu Huang was lying. so he suddenly said to Jing Ju, “Didn’t I send the Dragon Race’s crown prince over yesterday? Why did I only see the Magic Flood Dragon today and not the Dragon Crown Prince?” Prime Emperor Ze An stared at the dying Magic Flood Dragon in the middle of the banquet hall as he said thoughtfully, “Could it be that he was already eaten last night?”
The entire hall fell silent.
When they thought about how the former overlord, Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan, had actually been exterminated and the only crown prince had also been captured alive by the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan, the representatives of the other demon beast clans felt a sense of panic.
By being here, they were actually bowing down to the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan.
Yu Huang stared at the Magic Flood Dragon that was roasted until it was moaning in pain. When she thought about how Yu Aofeng was going to be roasted to death like this and his skin and flesh were cut while his consciousness was clear, she immediately felt her stomach churn at the sight of the food on the plate.
“Ugh!”
Yu Huang retched and hurriedly grabbed the table with her hand. Then, she tried her best to calm herself down so that no one would notice.
She heard Jing Ju continue, “I originally planned to roast him as a trophy today, but Ah Huang said that she had never had a pet and wanted to raise him by her side as a pet. Ah Huang rarely asked me for gifts, so I gave it to her.”
As Prime Emperor Ze An looked at Yu Huang, his smile seemed to have faded a little as he asked Yu Huang, “Do you like that dragon very much?”
Yu Huang was a smart person, so she immediately sensed Prime Emperor Ze An’s jealousy and hostility.
