Chapter 299: To The Clouds
~~~
No one else fights Liu Jin for the remainder of the day. In fact, what is left of the first stage ends up being fairly uneventful. Those with the courage to stand before him and plead their case after sensing his terrifying aura can be counted on one hand. When looked at in that light, it can be argued that confronting the Wandering Wind was the most correct choice.
All the same, Liu Jin has never felt comfortable being feared.
“You frown so deeply despite sharing a room with me. An ordinary lady might feel offended.”
Liu Jin looks at Lu Mei. She is already on the bed, having changed into her sleeping clothes. Meanwhile, he sits by the windowsill, staring at the Crimson Cloud. Even in the evening sky, the form of the red stadium floating above the Imperial Palace is impossible to miss.
“I suppose I am fortunate that you are no ordinary lady,” Liu Jin says.
“Was that ever in doubt?”
Liu Jin smiles. “Not at all.”
Unlike him, Lu Mei is quite pleased by the events that transpired. The Emperor of the Storm Dragon Empire publicly confronted the Wandering Wind and lived. Those strong enough know better than to be swayed by such tales, but it is yet another addition to his legend.
