Indestructible God King - Chapter 149.1

Chapter 149.1 It’s Good to Be Angry! (1/2)

Zi Bufan left the Royal Palace with her subordinates; they arrived at another palace shortly after.

Zi Bufan’s men greeted her with a courteous bow.

“Parlor Lord, are you really going to leave Master Zi alone?” one of her men asked, feeling worried.

“Wang Ke is right. If he’s incapable and becomes an emperor, he will become like Zhu Yan. That would be an even more irresponsible act toward our ancestors. And, I already promised Zhu Hongyi… Am I supposed to renege on my promise?” Zi Bufan said.

“Understood! Our plans against Wang Ke will be called off!” another subordinate said.

“Parlor Lord, why did you leave Zhu Yan with Parlor Lord Zhu? What if he doesn’t go to the Dragon Gate Assembly?” one of the demons asked worriedly.

“Humph. Do I need you to teach me what to do? My only concern is extracting the draconic ley line! I’m not responsible for Zhu Yan’s welfare and transport; I did my part, and that’s enough. How can I not give Zhu Hongyi face?” Zi Bufan said, staring at her subordinate.

“Understood!” that demon relented, no longer daring to talk about the matter.

“Tong An’an, speak. What happened to you?” Zi Bufan glared at Tong An’an, who was kneeling on the floor.

The latter looked up in awkwardness, at a loss for words.

“I’m asking you. How were you captured by Wang Ke? And where did you go after you left God Wang Tower? Why didn’t you come straight to see me and report?” said Zi Bufan.

Tong An’an was lost for words, feeling so wronged that tears welled up in his eyes.

“Chapter Lord Tong, what is your problem? The Parlor Lord is asking you a question! Answer her!” said one of the demon disciples.

“Have mercy, Parlor Lord! For I am incapable! I… I…!” Tong An’an sobbed, feeling miserable.

“Stop your sniveling; I didn’t rescue you so you could cry in front of me. Where are my Lightning Whips? Do you know how much harder it was for me to capture the draconic ley line without them? Hand them over right now!” Zi Bufan demanded.

Tong An’an’s heart ached.

“Chapter Lord, speak! The Parlor Lord is waiting!” said another disciple.

“I don’t have the whips; Wang Ke has them. I had no choice on the matter… Chen Tianyuan caught me off guard, and I was helpless before him!” Tong An’an explained nervously.

“Chen Tianyuan was here?” Zi Bufan was shocked to hear the news.

“Not today, it was the other time!” Tong An’an clarified bitterly.

“The other time?” Zi Bufan was a little confused.

“I suffered so much, Parlor Lord. You really can’t blame me…!” Tong An’an bawled in misery.

And so, he recounted everything to Zi Bufan; everyone in the hall felt strange in the end.

This Tong An’an is really unlucky! This isn’t the first time he’s been caught by Wang Ke? He got caught many times already?

Tong An’an used to be really crafty. How did he become like this?

“You lost my Lightning Whips?” Zi Bufan asked with an angry look.

“Wang Ke has them! It has nothing to do with me?” Tong An’an clarified anxiously.

“Nothing to do with you? Damn you. I’ll take your life if you don’t bring them to me!” Zi Bufan shot him a stare.

“Yes, yes!” Tong An’an replied in horror.

“Oh yes. You said that you fell for Wang Ke’s ambush underground… And the person who made a move on you was a pinnacle Golden Core cultivator wearing a headcover?” another disciple asked.

Tong An’an nodded and said, “Yes, more powerful than me! An extremely violent fellow who had fire elemental essence energy! The person could be a ‘she.’”

“But the only person in the Qing Capital fitting your description is Zhang Li’er! She attacked you with her face covered?” that demonic disciple asked curiously.

“I don’t think so. I know the Parlor Lord captured her. The tunnel was dim, but that lady was wearing a different set of clothing! Besides, a proud woman like Zhang Li’er would never wear a headcover!” Tong An’an reasoned with a frown.

“Who do you think she is then?” Zi Bufan asked.

“I… I don’t know! Wang Ke has many secrets. That woman must be someone protecting him in secret! Parlor Lord, I don’t know how to recover your Lightning Whips! Parlor Lord, why don’t you do it…?” Tong An’an stopped halfway—

Zi Bufan just promised Zhu Hongyi not to oppose Wang Ke. How long has it been? You’re asking me to go after Wang Ke? Are you taking my promise as a fart?

The killer look in Zi Bufan’s eyes shoved every word he wanted to say back into his throat.

Tong An’an said, “I understand. I already know what to do. Parlor Lord, worry not; I will surely bring back your Lightning Whips!”

“I will end you if anything happens to my Lightning Whips!” Zi Bufan threatened.

“Yes, understood!” Tong An’an said as he shrunk to one side.

“Okay. Everyone is tired after subduing the gold dragon; go back and rest!” Zi Bufan said.

“Yes, Parlor Lord!” And so, their meeting ended.

Before they left, Zi Bufan asked with a slight frown, “Are we forgetting something in the capital?”

Every man checked their own equipment before leaving the hall.

“Nope. We’re not leaving anything behind!” they reported.

Zi Bufan waved her hand and said, “Ohh, you may leave then! I didn’t lose anything, either!”

All of them left the hall respectfully.

Qing Capital—in the ruins of the Royal Palace.

She Tianba gradually regained consciousness amidst the rubble. He previously helped Zi Bufan to deal Wang Ke a hundred palm strikes. Eventually—when exhausted, he charged at Wang Ke a final time—the latter knocked him out with the God King Seal. And so, he remained unconscious until now.

He woke up, dazed while looking at the surrounding debris.

“This is the Royal Palace? How did it become like this?” She Tianba was appalled by what he saw.

Nearby—Wang Ke’s Big cousin-brother was directing many workers to clear the area. The entire place was a noisy mess.

She Tianba covered his aching head as he stood up, groggy as he looked around.

“What happened? Where’s the Parlor Lord? Where’s everyone? Why am I here alone?” She Tianba looked around for his companions.

Soon, he noticed Zhu Yan looking into the sky.

He was surrounded by a group of ugly old women.

“Zhu Yan, calm down. Calm down!” Big cousin-brother explained to him, “Our Clan Lord told me that the gold dragon inside your body may explode at any moment; you can unsettle the dragon inside you if you get too worked up. You must have a peaceful and steady heart, one that is not shaken by any circumstances. Chill and relax!”

Zhu Yan: “……………..!”

Big cousin-brother explained further, “I know you might be excited to see beautiful women. That’s why the Clan Lord asked me to find some grannies to help you stay peaceful. Only a calm heart can make the gold dragon stay put in your body and not try to explode!”

Zhu Yan looked at the extremely ugly grannies; his face was black as coal. They’re too damn ugly!

What have I done to deserve this? Curse it! I can’t take this!

“Ahh, you’re getting worked up? Calm down! Calm down!” Big cousin-brother urged.

An old granny without teeth complained angrily, “Grand-nephew, why is Zhu Yan always looking at us with such lustful eyes? We are not dissolute women; we have our own pride! We won’t allow Zhu Yan to tarnish it!”

Zhu Yan’s eyes widened in frustration. Who the hell looked at you lustfully? I’m angry, so damn angry!

Big cousin-brother was apologetic. “Third grand-aunt, just endure for a bit, please? The Clan Lord gave special instructions to invite all of you here!”

“It’s a request from our Clan Lord? Sigh, forget it; I must respect his decision. Zhu Yan, we shall tolerate your advances, you little flirt!” the toothless granny said reluctantly.

Zhu Yan: “……………………….!”

Standing near them, She Tianba: “…………………….!”
