Chapter 254 - 13: The Maddening Demon Wind
"Speak, what reward do you desire?"
Despite Lu Hong’s exhaustive efforts to explain why he had forcefully kissed Princess Chen Xi, and the King of Cang striving to believe him as much as possible, there was still a certain suppressed anger in his tone.
"Your Majesty the King of Cang, I only wish to safely get through tomorrow. And then, there is the Magic Potion related to soul recovery; saving Her Highness the Princess has greatly depleted my energy."
After listening to Lu Hong’s requests, the King of Cang smiled slightly, "Are you afraid of the revenge of the Disaster Church?"
"I’m not afraid, I just don’t want to initiate a final battle prematurely." Honestly, after switching to the Angry Blood Warrior profession and reaching below the Third Transition, no one would be his match. As long as he stayed in the Second Transition, he would be unmatched in his level. What was this about the Disaster Church—it was all about overpowering them, wasn’t it.
"Your requests have been noted. Tomorrow I will send a Magic Potion to nourish your soul. Although such items are not particularly precious, the herbs for soul recovery are rare. Despite our country’s many years of accumulation, we only have a mere hundred bottles. As for tomorrow’s selection battle, you only need to attend; I assure you that you will not encounter any trouble." The night had grown late, and the King of Cang was quite fatigued, so he turned to Li, an elder at his side, and said, "It’s late, Elder Li, please arrange a room for this representative from Qingxiao City to rest."
Having Lu Hong stay in the Imperial Palace was also a kind of protection from the King of Cang; after all, the Disaster Church had appeared earlier that night, and they might still be lurking outside the palace waiting for an opportunity.
"As you command, Your Majesty." Elder Li patted Lu Hong on the shoulder, "Kid, follow me."
This time, Elder Li did not whisk Lu Hong away at full speed but leisurely strolled with him within the palace walls, seeming to have something to say.
"Your name is Lu Hong, isn’t it?" After a long walk, Elder Li finally spoke.
