The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 137
Paper money thrown on the table. It was indeed a paper money worth a hundred silver coins.
Ling Han smiled faintly. Since there was someone who deliberately gave him money, then he would naturally not refuse. He said, "Servant, did you hear that? Someone is treating me to a meal, so why don't you immediately serve me wine and delicious dishes?"
"Damn it!" Young Master Kong was furious. This kid took the money and still hasn't gotten lost? He placed his right hand on the table and threatened, "Stupid, if you don't want to be beaten, you'll get lost faster!"
In the Imperial City, in a public place, even a lost young master like him would not dare to openly threaten the lives of others.
Ling Han turned his head to look to the left, then turned to look to the right, and asked, "Where did this barking come from? Money, money, money, annoying sounds!"
"Puichi!" audible voice. One could not help their laughter at this moment. The laughter was a sharp sound, had a charming feeling that could not be explained by mere words, and instantly caused quite a number of people to turn around to look at the source of the laughter. The one who laughed was a very beautiful young lady, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. His black hair dangled on his shoulder like a waterfall, and his face looked clear as if it was formed by a knife. This woman has a very unique attitude.
Since she was sitting, there was no way to see how beautiful her body shape was, but when one looked at her it was large enough to block her eyes from continuing to move down all over her body, one should know how impressive his figure became.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned by her beauty. What was even stranger was that such an incredible beauty had been sitting here for so long, yet they only realized it now. But they quickly realized the reason why — there is a piece of light muslin on this beauty table. Most likely, when he entered, his face was veiled. It was only when he started eating that he removed his veil, so he did not attract much attention.
Moreover, this beauty was definitely not an ordinary person. There were three big, sturdy men dressed all in black sitting with him at the same table. They did not have any special expressions on their faces, but it was clear they were her bodyguards, as only the beauty was holding the chopsticks, while the other three were sitting very vigilantly. The reason why they did not stand behind that beauty was definitely not to attract unnecessary attention.
However, their cold expressions and uniform clothes were enough to attract attention.
Young Master Kong also stared at the beauty, and inevitably revealed a perverted expression. He asked the beauty, "Beautiful, what's your name?"
The beauty did not reply, but one of the black-clothed men waved at Young Master Kong, as if he was driving away a fly.
Young Master Kong felt like he was going crazy. Just now, a young man actually dared to ignore him, and now someone else waved his hand at him to chase him away. What the hell is going on here? Could it be that after one night, the Imperial City was no longer the Imperial City he was familiar with?
"How dare you become so insolent towards Young Master Kong!" one of Young Master Kong's friends stepped out and shouted loudly at the man in black.
There was no change in expression on the man's face. He simply took out a golden plaque from his robe, and once again made a repelling move.
"Heng, whatever the plaque is, it's of no use. Our Young Master Kong-"
"Pa!"
The friend was just about to brag about Young Master Kong but never thought that he would suddenly get a hard slap. He looked at Young Master Kong in disbelief, because the one who slapped him was Young Master Kong.
"If you want to die, don't drag me with you!" Young Master Kong cursed at him angrily, and then turned to the man in black. His expression instantly became extremely respectful, and said, "This master, please forgive this Kong Wen Hui for his blindness."
"Hiss …!" Everyone in the restaurant was shocked. Is this Young Master Kong bewitched or something like that? He first slapped his own subordinates, and now took the initiative to apologize? There was only one possibility back then — the other group had a much larger background than the Kong Clan, so that even the young master of the Kong Clan could only humbly bow his head in front of them.
The black-clothed man still did not speak, and merely waved his hand for the third time.
This time, Young Master Kong did not dare to disobey. He left with his tail between his legs, and did not even take back the banknotes worth a hundred silver coins.
He was already scared out of his wits.
Everyone can't help but look at the plaque. What kind of identity did the plaque symbolize that even Young Master Kong was afraid of it?
"Hey, hey, hey. Just say it slowly. What does the plaque represent?"
"Yes, tell us."
The man who shouted earlier looked towards them, but when he saw that there was no visible reaction from the three men in black — as if they did not care — he said boldly, "They were the guards of the palace, the Black Cloud Army ! "
Suddenly, the entire restaurant became completely silent.
The words "Black Cloud Army" seemed to have strength of its own, causing everyone to tremble in fear.
And that's the real truth. The Black Cloud Army was the imperial guard of the Imperial Family, and they were the most elite units. All members of this army were elite martial artists. More importantly, they had the power to kill without punishment!
In the Imperial City, even a Tier Pedestal Tier elite of the Eight Great Clans could not simply kill anyone they did not like. As the saying goes, a country has its laws and family rules. However, the Black Cloud Army could do so as long as they thought that one might be able to pose a threat to the safety of the Imperial Family.
Thus, even someone as arrogant as Young Master Kong could only run away as fast as he could. Otherwise, if he were to be killed, he would die in vain.
Everyone is becoming more curious. Who exactly was this extraordinary beautiful woman who would make three members of the Black Cloud Army stay by her side to protect her? From her appearance, she was alluring, voluptuous, and very mature, so she shouldn't be an innocent girl anymore. So, she shouldn't be a princess or anything like that.
Could she be one of the Imperial Concubines?
When they thought about this, everyone immediately turned their eyes elsewhere. This is the Emperor's woman. If anyone dared to stare at him for too long, who knows, their eyes might be removed. Yet why would a woman from the Rain Emperor leave the palace?
Ling Han swept his eyes over the three members of the Black Cloud Army and the beautiful woman, and was slightly surprised the three — members of the Black Cloud Army were only at the Gushing Spring Tier, and were a little surprised, yet that beautiful woman was actually at the Spiritual Ocean Tier!
A woman in her early twenties was already at the Spiritual Ocean Tier? That's really too hard to believe.
This woman was supposed to be using medicine to maintain her beauty, and her actual age should be at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Otherwise, he should not have been a Rain Country citizen, but must have come from some big sect outside the Rain Country. That's not weird then.
One by one, the customers all paid their bills and left. Being in the same room as the three members of the Black Cloud Army who could kill without suffering any punishment — just thinking about it makes their hair stand erect and lose any appetite they might have.
Ling Han's dishes were also served. He started eating without a care.
The sound of music suddenly rang out, and footsteps immediately sounded up the stairs. Immediately, the trail owners had arrived on the second floor. They were an old man and a young girl. The old man had a somewhat stooped and bearded body, while his hands held huqin. [TL/N: Huqin – two-stringed Chinese violin, with wooden voice box covered in snake skin and bamboo bow with horsehair bow strap]
The young girl was wearing rough clothes, but her bad clothes were unable to hide her handsome figure. She doesn't wear make-up, but her face is very pretty and very pretty. In terms of beauty, she was only slightly inferior when compared to Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan.
"Zhiya, zhiya", the old man found a place and sat down, then started playing his huqin, while the young girl started singing along to the music. His singing voice was meandering and melodious, causing anyone who listened to him to be unintentionally captivated by his voice.
Even the three members of the Black Cloud Army who did not speak or smile at all could not help but show a dazzled expression and eyes when they heard the singing voice of the beautiful young girl and nature it.
Ling Han, meanwhile, sighed. It seemed like he would not be able to enjoy this meal quietly.
. . . He felt a killing intent!
