The Return of the Celestial and Earth Emperor 2
Episodes 109. Befriend the West Bante Tribe
Moments after the western Banteans entered the ancient ruins.
Outside the ruins had now been visited by a hundred horsemen, they had on average a large tall posture, of silver rank, and were all in black uniform.
On their chests were mounted skull-shaped identification badges, to signify their identity as members of the Ghost Valley Alliance.
The force was led by a well-built man of fifty years old, wearing a left eye patch, as one left eye was blind. On his waist was tucked a war-level sword.
His face was bright and unfriendly, “Chief of the Ardan Tribe! This is Kuntok, the one-eyed Swordsman of the Northern Whale Mountain, if you think of me as an old friend, come out! Hand over the map carefully, and I will guarantee the safety of your family, otherwise, don't blame me for having to slaughter your entire family”
Kuntok tried to persuade, because according to rumors that circulated everyone who entered the ancient ruins is rarely out alive, so Kuntok did not want his troops to die in vain.
Inside the ruins of Ardan heard Kuntok's yell clearly, cold sweat soaked his body.
“Celaka! Kuntok never lies with his threats, this is not just a warning, but a threat, Ade! how's this?” it's all your idea to trust the advice of the golden fireflies”,
Everyone panicked, they turned their eyes to Fani. The skinny boy stared at the golden firefly in his hand.
“Kunang-kunang, we've been here, now what should we do?” Fani started to get scared, not knowing why the golden fireflies suddenly became silent.
‘Why don't these fireflies talk? Don't-don't these fireflies fear the secret is revealed’ Fani thought worriedly, he kept the fireflies back in his shirt.
Ade realized what Fani was thinking, because she also thought the same thing, too,
‘The formula here is very dangerous, golden fireflies only even choose silence. I'm sure by staying here we will be safe, but here there is no food, gradually we have to go out and at that time they will kill us all’ Ade thought hard.
“Ardan Grandpa! Looks like we have to hand this map over to them” Ade starts to despair, he knows this is his only best path.
Princess Yara became sullen, obviously she also wanted to get the heirloom listed on the Map she saw. However if he snatched it directly from them, it was impossible, because Juli would not stay silent at the sight. So for a fair exchange, he had to solve the dwarf tribe's problem first.
‘Crazy, I can't let a sky-level heirloom fall into their hands, but how can I snatch it from this pitiful dwarf man? If on middle earth I could have taken it, or traded it, but that little monster would never have let me do this, you devil boy, well, I would have played fair, I will save them first from those stupid bandits’ the inner Princess Yara glanced towards Juli who was seen sitting cross-legged.
Princess Yara subconsciously admits in her small heart that Juli is a fair and wise little monster.
The proof, with his strength alone even though he did not use the power in he was still able to seize the inheritance map from the Bante tribe, but when remembering July was there, he was still able to take the map from the Bante tribe, he was sure that Juli would judge him.
“Do not submit! This treasure is very important, I do not know what objects are drawn on the description of this map, but this is clearly very mysterious, and I want to have it, let me face them, let me face them, instead of that map mine” Princess Yara looks confident, she moves quickly out the ruins by herself.
The Chieftain and the others were silent for a moment, they tried to digest the situation, their eyes were turned to the back of Princess Yara who had left the place, they were trying to digest the situation,
‘Who is this girl? She was so beautiful like an angel, was she the occupant of this cave? Or is he a demon. Right, lately many high-level demons have managed to break through here, I believe he is one of them’ Thought the Chief of the Tribe named Ardan.
“The others stay here, let me just go out monitoring the situation!” Ardan immediately followed Princess Yara out,
After Ardan's departure, all the Banteans in the room looked pale and afraid of Juli. They were afraid that Juli would attack them all of a sudden, so they chose to gather in the corner of the room so as not to disturb him.
Oeee.. Oeee…
Suddenly the cry of the baby continued to echo in the room, a mother tried to silence him but to no avail.
"Shut up, son, shut up! sttts!" As everyone panicked, they tried to keep the skinny baby quiet so as not to disturb Juli who was believed to be the West Devil Boy.
Juli has long been sitting still with her eyes closed, if only July is not watching “Sesatu” from the room, then she has long been out for the comfort of all the tribes of Bante.
But hearing a baby cry made her little heart slash, ‘Poor people! I know that you are starving because these two days, you did not eat because of the pursuit of the Ghost Valley Alliance, until most of the children were weak and had to be carried, he said, yet I can't let you starve any longer the inner’ of July began to inspect the groceries in her space ring.
July comes to a dwarf tribe that looks scared. Fani and Ade immediately stand in front of the mother who has a baby and try to protect them.
“Tu.. Sir.. forgive our baby who annoys the master, we do not know why this baby continues to cry”, Ade stammered in fear, and has resigned to fate.
Ade was too afraid to make any moves that provoked this demon child, he was afraid that Juli would get angry and slaughter them all.
The mother of the baby has turned pale, she again tried breastfeeding, but due to severe frustration asi did not come out in the slightest. The little baby continued to cry breaking the silence.
Juli took a deep breath, and took out a bottle of honey and white water from her space ring,
“Mother, your baby is starving, I have no milk, but this is honey, you should give this honey to her, and mix it with this water, please, your baby is so thirsty” July handed him a bottle of honey and water.
"Te. thank you sir."
With trembling hands the mother of the baby accepted it, and did as Juli ordered quickly. At that time, if July had told them to kill the baby, they would have had to do it, for the safety of others.
The baby drank the honey mixed with water, as if the baby did not want to take off the bottle.
July poking the cheeks of that skinny baby gently, “This baby is a boy or a girl?” Ask Juli a warm smile.
The mother stroked her baby hair, “She's a boy, sir! She is only a month old and does not yet have a name, we still call her baby sister” replied the baby's mother, and she began to master the state of not fear as before.
The mother looks bright, although there are concerns in it, the baby's mother is afraid that her child will be named after a demon.
“Okay sir what is his name?”
“Ikbal! How?”
“Wah! Nice name ikbal”.
“Iya it is very good, in western earth I have never heard the name it”
Everyone has now started to forget their fears before, now they have dared to talk to Juli as usual.
'Padahat in my yard Iqbal's name is very much, xixi' inner July smile.
Juli again took out a large amount of bread and water from her space ring.
“Alright! Here is your bread eat this first, and I will cook for you soon, please mothers and girls help me cook, do not think about the Ghost Valley Alliance, just let them”
Juli asks them to help her, Juli's gaze warm and not pushy. Although with a little hesitation before but in the end they agreed to the invitation.
The Bante tribe was wide-eyed as they watched Juli take out the ingredients for the cuisine from her spatial ring. They did not expect at all that Juli had a lot of groceries in her space ring as well as her various utensils.
Inside the vast room of ruins, Juli with the mothers cooking with their respective talents, but the mothers are very stunned when they see Juli in processing various culinary spices. Juli's hand is small but looks very proficient, he can slice the sky onions very neatly, even though it is very difficult to do. The ingredients of July's cooking are beyond logic.
“Master..You're actually a chef huh? Our ability in cooking is too far away from you” The mothers are not ashamed to admit defeat.
July was just a friendly smile and no bragging, although in his previous life July was ranked first as the world's best chef, and that record was not broken all the time.
Ade observed Juli from her seat, her eyes sweeping across the room. He could see the children running back to play after breakfast. Although the breakfast is just plain bread and water, but enough to restore everyone's stamina.
‘Western Devil's Boy! I heard that name alone made me shudder, is it true that he is a western demon boy? It seems impossible, his heart is very soft and easy to make friends, this child is also good at babysitting, and also looks very experienced in various fields. I guess if he was a western demon boy he wouldn't be this good, but if he was indeed a western demon boy then the rumors of his ferocity weren't true.’
Ade's heart is worried when he thinks about Juli who is now preparing a seat for everyone.
“Harum! The cuisine must be very tasty”
“Yes, I'm so hungry!”
Various comments were heard from the skinny children who were starting to get hungry again due to the smell of food. Juli smiles warmly, Juli's heart looks happy.
For a moment July remembered Hana, ‘Hana! I know you were punished by the emperor, but it's really not bad in my opinion, in the law in the vast palace, and you can still train freely, I will take care of you with my soul, he said, Hana in this place I feel pain. Every day I see children dying of hunger, the soul of fireflies cannot reach them all. Hana I will solve your problems one day, now let me help ease the suffering of the poor here first, it's only for a few moments the inner’ of July when it sees children of their age start playing hide and seek in the room.
“This food is all ready, Come on everyone, let's eat first! Do not be shy, eat as much, do not let this food waste free” July invites all the tribes of Bante to have breakfast together.
In the room everyone was seen eating voraciously, they were first timid but Juli continued to thrust side dishes at them.
“Later the food that stayed I will throw away! Quickly spend”
"But sir, this is a lot"
"Just if I leave to the Ghost Valley Alliance, eat quickly"
"Good! Alright!"
Sure enough, the children began to add to their food, their mother often forbade eating a lot, but Juli always shook her hands.
“Mother! Let them eat as much, they are still in growth” said Juli look happy.
In this atmosphere some mothers cry, because all their lives have never eaten so well.
'This child is a child of the Devil, but his heart is like an angel, what happened to this world?' the inner mother was moved who now began to breastfeed her baby because it had been ready.
Fani looks very happy, a happy smile continues to bloom in her lips. While eating Fani continued to play the fireflies, and occasionally she fed them.
“Golden yellow eat!”
Juli shook her head, “Fani you just eat, do not play with the fireflies, later she can be angry, the fireflies do not eat she absorbs the energy of heaven earth”
All eyes were now looking at Juli with a different gaze, according to the rumors of the Western Demon Boy, a figure who was extremely brutal and killed humans mercilessly, but this time looked different. But without them knowing, Juli is actually an old grandfather who is very soft heart.
"Please! The western Demon Lord! help u! Miss, Miss is seriously injured in the siege of dozens of people outside!" suddenly there was a chanting Chief galloping into the room.
