Chen San turned his head to glance at Liu Qing, "You do the talking."
"Why do I have to say it?" Liu Qing frowned.
"Because you're more eloquent than I am," Chen San offered what he thought was a very reasonable explanation.
"You bastard..." Liu Qing grunted in frustration, "Always pushing the trouble onto ..."
"Stop bickering, you two." Gao Fei singled out Liu Qing, "Liu Qing, you speak."
"Hurry up, the boss is asking you to explain," Chen San gave Liu Qing a push.
Liu Qing shot Chen San a glare and then said with a bitter smile, "Right now, there are rumors about the boss spread everywhere..."
"Rumors?" Gao Fei narrowed his eyes, "What kind of rumors? Make it clear!"
"It's being said all over the place... that the boss possesses several peerless treasures, such as Li Fire, fierce bugs left over from ancient tis, the Spiritual Treasure Bronze Coffin, the genuine Dragon Corpse... If I'm not mistaken, there are already all kinds of experts surrounding the military camp, intent on obtaining the treasures on the boss at all costs..."
"It must be rumors spread by Nangong Qi!" Gao Fei cursed loudly, "That son of a bitch, I'll kill him sooner or later!"
"Right now, the boss is like a piece of fat at, with many people wanting to pounce and take a bite." Liu Qing said, "Boss, you should leave quickly and find a hidden place to hide."
"It's too late." Chen San shook his head, "The boss ca back without any disguise, surely seen by many, and by now they must be gathering together, plotting how to rob the boss. If the boss were to go out now, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's den."
"What should we do?" Liu Qing asked anxiously.
"What can we do?" Chen San sighed deeply, "At this point, we can only play it by ear and deal with problems as they co!"
"You guys don't need to worry too much about ." Gao Fei scoffed coldly, "Anyone who dares to rob will find their teeth shattered. Pass the order down, tell the tens of thousands of soldiers to be on their guard; if anyone dares to barge into the camp, kill them without rcy! I want to see who has the guts to rob !"
With those bold words from Gao Fei, showing no signs of backing down, he beca flustered when the actual robbers arrived, for these robbers were of such a special status that Gao Fei dared not provoke them.
Who are these robbers?
Why is Gao Fei so wary of them?
Don't worry, everyone, the mystery will be revealed shortly!
The robber was none other than the high and mighty Emperor Dugu Jingtian.
It really is quite funny; under Gao Fei's command, tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the entire camp, each man ard and on high alert, ready for battle. But when Emperor Dugu Jingtian appeared, those tens of thousands of soldiers were stunned, and then... they conscientiously sheathed their weapons and cleared a pathway.
Are you kidding ?
These soldiers might be bold, but they certainly wouldn't dare to start a war with the Emperor.
And so, Emperor Dugu Jingtian strode brazenly into the camp, and the tens of thousands of soldiers stood there obediently, not daring to stop him, nor even daring to breathe too heavily.
When Gao Fei saw Emperor Dugu Jingtian, he was completely dumbfounded... damn it, what the hell is going on?
"What's with that expression?" Dugu Jingtian looked at Gao Fei with a smile, "You look as if you've seen a ghost. What's the matter? Do I look like a ghost to you?"
"Uh..." Gao Fei snapped back to reality and hastily shook his head, "No, no, no, Your Majesty has misunderstood, I didn't an that..."
"What do you an by that?" Dugu Jingtian persisted in asking relentlessly.
"I'm just a bit surprised," Gao Fei replied with a wry smile, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to co."
Dugu Jingtian smiled faintly, "As a smart man, you should know the purpose of my visit." Having said that, Dugu Jingtian stared intently at Gao Fei, exerting imnse pressure on him.
Gao Fei's eyes twitched violently, his heart filled with hesitation, uncertain on how to resolve the crisis at hand. Had it been anyone else, Gao Fei would have already turned hostile, but facing Dugu Jingtian... Gao Fei needed to think carefully... As matters stood, Dugu Jingtian was not soone he could afford to offend...
Without a word, Dugu Jingtian continued to watch Gao Fei, his eyes flickering with sparks of light.
After pondering for a long ti...
Gao Fei finally made a decision. For the sake of his own safety, he could only reluctantly part with so things. Thinking of the items he was about to give up caused him waves of pain, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, I definitely cannot refuse." With these words, Gao Fei took out a Storage Bag and handed it over to Dugu Jingtian with a look of reluctance.
"What's this?" Dugu Jingtian, smiling broadly, accepted the Storage Bag. With a gentle pinch of his fingers, the bag opened, "Is this the Dragon Corpse?" Even soone as composed as Dugu Jingtian was sowhat excited; after all, it was the body of a real dragon, "Excellent! Very nice!" Dugu Jingtian nodded in approval, "These Dragon Corpses are very much to my taste; I will accept them." Then he paused, "I have heard you possess nurous treasures on you. Can you present them to to feast my eyes?"
After hearing this, Gao Fei imdiately cursed inwardly, damn it, I gave you the Dragon Corpse, and you're still not satisfied, even coveting my other treasures, aren't you too greedy! I'm so angry! Truly infuriated! If it weren't for the vast difference in strength, Gao Fei would have already turned against him.
Under Dugu Jingtian's gaze, Gao Fei very reluctantly displayed three items: the Drug-absorbing Bug, the Bronze Coffin, and the Li Fire.
"Is this the Li Fire?"
Dugu Jingtian's eyes shone brightly, "Is this the topmost fire in the Mortal World? It indeed looks extraordinary!"
"Although these little bugs are small, they exude a fierce aura. One look and you know they're not to be ssed with."
"As for this Bronze Coffin... its construction is exquisite and its size quite large, such a pity, truly a pity, that such a fine Spiritual Treasure has been gravely damaged, making full restoration quite difficult."
Dugu Jingtian gave his evaluation of the three treasures, ranking the Li Fire first, the unnad little bug second, and the damaged Bronze Coffin last.
"Your Majesty," Gao Fei began, "The Li Fire and the little bugs have already recognized as their master. Even if you took them away by force, they would not submit to you."
"Heh," Dugu Jingtian looked at Gao Fei with amusent, "What makes you so sure that I would take away the Li Fire and the little bugs by force?"
"I've been observing Your Majesty the whole ti, and in Your Majesty's eyes, I detected a hint... of greed."
"You've been observing quite closely, haven't you?"
"Your Majesty, you are the most esteed person in the world. Whatever you desire, you can have. The Li Fire, the little bugs, and the Bronze Coffin are rare, indeed, but I believe Your Majesty wouldn't care too much for them."
"Are you trying to provoke with your words? To make feel too embarrassed to take them away?"
"This subordinate dares not."
"You dare not? It seems to you're quite daring! To play tricks in front of ; do you believe that I would not kill you in a mont of anger, and then take away the treasures on you?"
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is more important: treasures or a minister who is loyally devoted?" Gao Fei asked, neither servile nor overbearing.
Dugu Jingtian's brow quirked, "Why do you ask this?"
"My loyalty to Your Majesty is as clear as the sun and the moon. If Your Majesty desires the Li Fire and other items, please feel free to kill ," Gao Fei said, bowing his head, his voice hoarse.
