The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 396
Chapter 396 Flattery
In fact, City C in the Bloody Domain and Heavenly Rock City were the boundaries of South Lake Province before the apocalypse. In general, they were the Hunan region.
This year, Nian Chen and Ji Ruoxue, one from the South Lake and the other from Shuchuan, both liked to eat spicy food. They also liked Hunan cuisine very much.
Therefore, when arranging the dishes, they would naturally focus on local specialties.
After all, the Hunan cuisine before the apocalypse was one of the eight authentic Chinese cuisines. Among them, the delicious dishes were also extremely unique, and they had a complete range of colors, fragrances, and flavors, not inferior to any other cuisines.
Similarly, it was Yifan who was the first to move his chopsticks. He raised his hand and picked up a piece of woolly roasted pork. He placed it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.
The moment a large piece of bright red roasted meat entered his mouth, the familiar sweet and salty taste, with a spicy, fat but not greasy flavor, instantly conquered his taste buds.
He couldn’t help but look at Fina and Ji Ruoxue with a smile on his face. Obviously, this was a surprise given to him by the two of them.
In fact, Yi Fan had never expected that his two women would be so attentive, so concerned about that person, and even knew that she knew how to cook.
Evidently, some of their actions had attracted their attention in the end, and their actions could be considered as a kind of secret promise.
However, at this moment, it was evident that he did not want to. After Yifan moved his chopsticks, all the guests began to taste the delicious dishes on the table. They pushed their cups and exchanged them for a cup of delight.
During the banquet, after Han Xiaoxuan, Li Xiuqing picked up her wine cup, her eyes glittering, and there was an extremely pure respect in it.
“Lord Rock King, Xiu Qing doesn’t know how to speak. My father told me to invite you to White Tiger City when I see you. Everything else will be in the wine.”
After he finished speaking, he did not act pretentious at all. He raised his neck and a cup of Spirit Spring Wine was already in his stomach.
“Haha …!” Hearing this, Yi Fan laughed, “Xiu Qing, with your words, everything is in the wine. I must drink this wine.”
“As for going to White Tiger City, I’ll definitely take a walk when I’m free. Perhaps it’ll be very soon, haha!” He said without pretending to be emotionless. He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp before continuing, “As for going to White Tiger City.”
Yifan’s words caused the hearts of the people in the northern cities to tremble. This was what the Rock King himself had said. He would be heading north in the near future.
The whereabouts of the Rock King’s self-disclosure?
The guests couldn’t help but start guessing, especially the people from the northern cities.
For example, Lin Tian, the Azure Dragon City’s Second Young Master Lin, was currently trying to figure out what the Rock King was thinking.
This Rock King had actually publicly revealed his whereabouts at this dining table, threatening to leave for the north soon. What was his purpose?
Nonsense, intimidating them?
Or perhaps, he was really going to the north.
Suddenly, a light flashed in Lin Tian’s mind-Zhang Liang! !
It must be Zhang Liang!
He knew too much about Heavenly Rock City, if it wasn’t for their arrival and the zombies surrounding the city.
The Rock King would definitely not hesitate to leave Zhang Liang behind at all costs. It would definitely not be so simple as to let him leave.
And now, the Rock King probably already knew that Zhang Liang had started heading north, which made him anxious.
Zhang Liang knew too much about the secrets of Heavenly Rock City, so he would definitely not let Zhang Liang wander around in any city.
Therefore, when the Rock King personally came to the north, he probably had only one goal, and that was to bring him back and even kill Zhang Liang.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. In his opinion, his guess was almost exactly the same.
However, Father should have thought of this as well. The protection around Zhang Liang probably wouldn’t be that simple.
Hehe, if you want to kill Zhang Liang, you need to see this Rock King and see if this Heavenly Rock City can survive this damn Academy Ceremony.
Once it was confirmed that the Rock King was injured, the few cities would definitely take this opportunity to unleash their trump cards and annihilate Heavenly Rock City.
In fact, the Rock King had accidentally said something that would soon reach the north, and it caused Lin Tian to ponder more than that.
Luo Yaqin, Yi Yu, Yang Tianzong, Zheng Feng, and the others who knew their positions were naturally extremely nervous.
Of course, in their eyes, it was the same. If the Rock King wanted to go to the north, it would probably be the end of the story. Whether or not he could pass this trial before them was still unknown.
In fact, these fellows wouldn’t know. What Yifan was thinking was naturally that after the Heavenly Rock Grand Ceremony, he would personally bring his men north to completely deal with the enemy city.
Of course, when his words reached Li Xiuqing’s ears, there was another scene. She said happily, “Thank you, Rock King, for your presence. At that time, my father and I will definitely fall back to welcome you.”
Hearing this, Yifan smiled and nodded, indicating that she didn’t need to be so polite. He then pressed his right hand and signaled for her to sit down.
As the host of today’s table, all the guests would at least toast to Yifan.
Regardless of whether it was to show respect or to express their feelings of disturbance, since the representatives of the various cities had come, it was indispensable for them to propose a toast to Yi Fan, who was their master.
Li Xiuqing and Yi Fan sat down together. Yi Fan picked up a section of a secret snake and tasted it carefully. Threads of snake meat were incomparably spicy, and they were enjoying it.
Lin Tian raised his cup and said respectfully with a warm smile, “Lord Rock King, my Azure Dragon and Heavenly Rock have become Alliance City since the beginning of the apocalypse.”
“Today, Lin Tian is fortunate to be able to come to the Heavenly Rock City’s City Lord’s Mansion as a guest. I am extremely happy to see the elegance of the number one city in China and Lord Rock King’s peerless figure.”
“Lin Tian, the gods have been friends for a long time. Today, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha. I borrow this Heavenly Rock City’s Spirit Spring Wine to propose a toast to the Rock King at the peak of China.”
“Little brother, let’s do it first as a toast!”
As he finished speaking, he raised his neck and took a cup of Spirit Spring Wine from his stomach.
When Yi Fan heard Lin Tianzhi’s flattery, he felt that it was a little funny. He smiled indifferently, “Haha …! The peak of China, I, Zhu Yifan, do not dare to do so. Young Master Lin is too flattering.”
“However, I still have to drink the wine that Young Master Lin has toasted.”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t say anything else. He stood up and held a cup of Spirit Spring Wine to caress his stomach.
Hearing this, a strange expression flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes. This Rock King seemed to have deliberately avoided the matter of the Azure Dragon and Heavenly Rock Alliance.
He said again, “If Lord Rock King still can’t call it the summit of China, who would dare to call it?”
Unexpectedly, Luo Yaqin couldn’t sit still when she said this. She immediately interrupted and teased, “Haha …! I know, I know who is standing at the top of China.”
The table full of people looked at Luo Yaqin, and she seemed to have earned enough eyeballs before she smiled and said, “Of course it’s my master, Storm Queen-Fei Na, and Sister Ruoxue.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Obviously, what Luo Yaqin meant was to tease the Rock King about being afraid of his wife.
“Haha!”
“That makes sense …!”
“Looking at Rock King’s face, he should also be someone who loves his wife.”
Several people coaxed and echoed, joking and laughing, causing the secondary seats to turn their gazes away. Everyone started teasing the Rock King together.
Fina’s eyes flashed with a cold light. Just as she was about to retaliate against Roja Qin, Yi Fan patted her arm and smiled, indicating that she didn’t need to care. The other party was obviously joking.
Seeing that Yifan was smiling calmly without the slightest bit of anger, the crowd was even more relaxed.
The atmosphere on the table was unprecedentedly good.
Qilin City’s Yiyu also smiled charmingly, “Keke …! As the saying goes, men rule the world and women rule men.”
“Isn’t Miss Luo’s words reasonable?”
Luo Yaqin smiled faintly, “Haha …! You said that, but I didn’t.”
After she finished speaking, she restrained her smile and stood up. Obviously, this joke ended here.
She bowed formally and said solemnly, “Lord Rock King, Yaqin has just risen up. I hope Lord Rock King will forgive me for any mistakes.”
Yifan smiled indifferently, “What’s the point of talking at the table? Besides, am I that stingy?”
Hearing this, Luo Yaqin smiled faintly and said, “Lord Rock King, you are indeed generous. No wonder even Master Fei Na and Sister Ruoxue, such peerless Immortal Beauties, are willing to follow you to death.”
“Unfortunately, Yaqin is a worthless disciple. Her abilities are ordinary. I’m afraid that Yaqin will never be able to repay the kindness of Sister Fina and Heavenly Rock City.”
“I have to see Lord Rock King today. A glass of light wine to express my gratitude.”
After saying that, he stroked his cup with both of his hands and drank the wine in it.
Seeing this, Yifan smiled indifferently, “Haha, Heavenly Rock regards Black Tortoise as a close ally. It’s enough for you to have such a heart!”
With that, he picked up the cup on the table with one hand, poured it into his mouth, and signaled for him to sit down.
However, Luo Yaqin waved her hand. After Jing Zhe filled her glass, she raised her glass again and said to Fei Na, “Yaqin still remembers what Sister Fei Na taught her back then.”
“In addition, although Yaqin and Sister Ruoxue are new to each other today, they are like old friends at first sight. They regret meeting each other too late.”
“Since we meet here today, Yaqin should naturally propose a toast to the two sisters and pay her respects!”
After he finished speaking, he stroked again and drank another cup of spirit spring wine.
Fina smiled and said, “Yaqin, I’ll take this wine.”
“However, I don’t understand the identity of this master and disciple. I don’t dare to make any random decisions. If you really want to be my disciple, I’m afraid Brother Fan will have to decide.”
The meaning behind my words is very obvious. Everything I do is up to Lord Rock King.
Although she didn’t say it clearly, the coldness in her words was something that even a fool could hear. Obviously, this was a retaliation to her joke and her profligacy in using her name.
Yi Fan was a grown man, he could ignore it, but Fina, who was completely focused on Yi Fan, did not buy it.
This was considered saving face for Luo Yaqin, plus Yifan had just made her ignore it, otherwise, it would probably make Luo Yaqin even more embarrassed.
However, Luo Yaqin, who was standing opposite him, had an extremely ugly expression on her face.
Fina’s voice fell, but Ji Ruoxue smiled like a flower and said warmly, “The guests are the guests. Since it’s Yaqin girl, Ruoxue will not refuse.”
Her face melted as she spoke warmly. The atmosphere in the room was relieved by her.
Afterwards, Fei Na and Ruoxue did not say anything else. They stood up, raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Luo Yaqin poured a cup to show her respect.
Just as the three of them took their seats, Gu Yu, Li Xia, Mang Zhong, and Xia Zhi, the four maids came in from behind.
Four more delicious dishes were placed on the table, and the atmosphere became lively again.
