Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
A Flower 6: The Liu Family

Consort Qian rubbed the head of King Li Shen who was still in her stomach. Even so, his face was still flat as usual. He pulled out a green fan that he had been carrying lately.

Wh why?

It was because his younger brother Liu Xingsheng often carried this thing. And now Liu Xingsheng was nowhere. Therefore, Consort Qian would definitely find where Liu Xingsheng was.

"Qian ... What do you think happened to Prime Minister Liu?" li Shen asked in the end.

He always wondered about this. However, Liu Xinqian never said it clearly. He simply said that Liu Xingsheng had a disease, and would often relapse if in his time. Of course the treatment has not developed so it is not strange if there is a disease that is not known cure.

"The boy is now just like his old self," Consort Qian said in a flat voice. As if there were no worries there.

Though who does not know if Consort Qian is the most dizzy person here.

"Since childhood Liu Xingsheng had never grown as healthy as other children. Father said that in the Li Kingdom there might be a great healer and could treat Xingsheng. So my father came to the Li Kingdom and never came back. Mom preferred to play with other men at the time. Perhaps their mother married her father because his father was a General" Consort Qian said in a still very cynical voice.

Well, the General of a ruined Kingdom. Their kingdom no longer exists.

"really. I saw your father in his last moment," Li Shen replied arrogantly.

SRETT!

Concubine Qian's hand headed down Li Shen's throat. His nails nearly scratched Li Shen's throat, but Li Shen did not move from Consort Qian's stomach. And, just before Consort Qian's nail tore through Li Shen's throat, Consort Qian's hand stopped moving. It was a spontaneous movement.

"Why don't you dodge?" concubine Qian asked who was still pointing her nails under Li Shen's throat.

"Your father ... He died in a terrible way," Li Shen's ridicule was still with his arrogance and grudge.

CKKC ...

Li Shen heard the sound of teeth clashing. Consort Qian's omen held all her anger. Then, Li Shen arrogantly took Consort Qian's fingers and kissed her nails.

"Why didn't you kill me?" asked Li Shen who challenged Consort Qian.

He heard all of Consort Qian's hatred the entire time, but he was still alive.

Concubine Qian pulled her fingers, "Why didn't Her Majesty kill the servant? Though the servant is Liu Shang's daughter."

Well, in fact they're both the same.

And ...

Liu Shang's.

In the history of the Li Kingdom his name was mentioned when the Xin Kingdom attacked first.

However, it is most often mentioned again in the history of the destruction of the Xin Kingdom. Where Liu Shang was so useless that the Xin Kingdom could not survive. Well, history is like that.

They will blame one person who looks 'unable', when in fact the actual contribution of the person criticizing this.

"Together with the kingdom that killed your father must have been more painful than death. Plus you don't want to die fast, do you?" li Shen asked weakly.

He hugged Consort Qian again without the slightest awkwardness. Even when Consort Qian was already auralessly ready to slash through it though.

More than anything ... Only in this woman did Li Shen feel like doing anything that did not suit her in public. He feels completely himself. Thats odd.

Although Li Shen knew the reason why this woman was staying by his side was for one reason.

Liu Xingsheng's.

Consort Qian would continue to look for ways to treat Liu Xingsheng.

"One day Your Majesty will regret letting your servant live."

I don't know what this Liu Xinqian meant. It's just ...

Well, someday yeah let it be sometime. What matters is now.

***

Lower Kingdom ...

Call it that way.

A kingdom made without inauguration. Although it is called a kingdom, there is no king. There is no law. There are no high court members. No one can control the actions of others.

Criminality is unrelenting, but the day goes on as if it were a habit. When they see bodies lying on the road, they are more concerned with hygiene issues than humanitarian issues. Most of the people of the Lower Kingdom were escaped criminals, or even the inhabitants of the war-lost kingdoms. They chose to find a safe place rather than bowing under the feet of a new kingdom.

A few people there are of the view that there is a law or not, crime still occurs. Even so, there must be some people who were feared there. These people have their own territory. So that they can control the other party that is down there.

Actually the system in the Lower Kingdom is not too different from other kingdoms. It's just that these 'top' parties look vile because they don't play brain like in other kingdoms. They play more physically, so they look like bandits compared to 'political bandits'.

That was the short story about the Underworld Kingdom.

There was an auction that was not at all luxurious. There the auction was carried out in an artificial cave. However, the things sold there are valuable things. Like a cursed thing that was sold expensively at the Lower Kingdom auction, and the price must be the same as ten cows plus a house as a dowry.

The owner of the auction referred to them as Phoenixes. Recently they added to being the Kingdom of the Phoenix, as if they were establishing that the leader of the Phoenix was also the leader of the Lower Kingdom. However, every action is still not supervised by a king.

The auction is in two days. It was a great event, and only certain could enter the artificial cave. However, there is a place where you can see it without the need for admission. There is an arena made like a cow pen. Where there are wood and rectangular shaped planks. There you will fight like a wild animal.

No one can stop an opponent when he hits you. All that can be is a team member. That is even if the team members do not run away when they see you are battered.

Then, ...

"Human life is like that. If you don't want to be surrounded by problems don't be human. Be sugar so that you are surrounded only by ants" said a 'man' with his head covering.

He sat down for tea in one of the shops with some relatives. He said they were from a village who had come to the Lower Kingdom in search of a livelihood. And ... Well, other people's assumption, that these people are pretty preposterous.

The uncle who had a face like a bandit immediately responded to the man in a refined manner like that woman. "This brother is quite reasonable. But free-fighting can be avoided, and you don't have to look for trouble."

Say life has problems. However, the group of people in front of them were now even 'seeking' trouble. The livelihood meant by this group was a fight in the Lower Kingdom arena. Like what was promised there is a lot, but is it equivalent to human life?

Most of the people of the Lower Kingdom would rather watch than follow. The rest come along are those who have great guts and are certainly able to fight. That's why it's not strange that you see most of the people who roam around there parading roughly like washboards. So that these people (referring to Yi Hua and his group), they look like beloved creatures of the god of beauty compared to fighters.

Let alone this little 'man' who spoke agilely in front of them. She looks too pretty for a man, but she doesn't look as handsome as a woman. However, from his style of dress and behavior people see him as a man. With that, we can call him a man. Not to mention a girl sitting close to him.

Of course she was Jia Yu, the girl they saved from Master Qiu.

SRETT!

"Do you think this will work?" yue Yan asked who was holding the head of his little snakes inside the robe.

It would definitely be very strange if there was a being surrounded by snakes like Yue Yan. Unfortunately, those Yue Yan snakes were already very spoiled like a pet cat. They were very fond of surrounding Yue Yan like a bolster pillow. If there was someone who was afraid of snakes it would probably faint if he saw the state Yue Yan was in right now.

He heard Yue Yan grinning to respond to him.

Yi Hua raised his foot on the bench. This of course reaped sharp views from Huan Ran. Even so, the man did not say anything, and only raised next to his eyebrows.

"Brother do not underestimate the small trunk that appears from the top of the mountain. Who knows the trunk is actually a large tree" said Yi Hua philosophically.

Unfortunately, Xiao responded to the sarcasm as he usually did. "Why are you circling around like a cow chasing a tail? Don't you see this old man in front of you getting clueless."

It's the same as you speak very intelligently and theorize about the color red, but it's a pity that you're talking to a colorblind person. They will hear and understand, but that does not mean they know. That's so ridiculous.

"We defeated the merchant group before coming here. They are a group from the South, and you know Mr. Qiu ..."

Yi Hua had not yet finished speaking, the man in front of her had already turned around to prepare an order for the other customers again. He obviously could not listen to Yi Hua's long story. This made Yi Hua realize that the Lower Kingdom did not have permanent people.

Those who come, however great or as rich as they may be, will not remember. Too many people and they have no obligation to remember that. As long as they can make money, they don't care about names.

Their fault here also never saw the king in other regions.

This didn't work.

However they had to make a fuss in order for there to be a 'venge' within the arena. When there was that grudge, and the spectators heard it, they would spirit pitting the fighter in the arena.

SRETT!

NAH!

The old man had suddenly stopped moving away. Especially when Huan Ran threw a bag of money on the table. It was the money they had obtained from Master Qiu yesterday!

What is this man doing?! It was money to survive.

However, the old man who owned the tavern unexpectedly complied like a donkey. He stretched out his hand to take the bag of money. And before the man managed to grasp it, Huan Ran said slowly but sharply.

"Deploy our challenge to anyone who fights in the arena" said Huan Ran, who appeared to be playing his sword.

I don't know since when Huan Ran took out his sword. It definitely gave rise to a rather gripping atmosphere. Moreover, Huan Ran seemed ready to slash anyone who was here. So that some customers who also sat down to drink tea also noticed Huan Ran's actions.

This is no longer a personal challenge to Master Qiu!

Huan Ran was like a person who had nine lives, and was intent on challenging anyone with a wacko in the arena. It was as if Huan Ran could slam a cow and imprison the demon in his palm. Yi Hua suddenly broke out in cold sweat, even though he knew that the one who fought was not him. The problem was that he was on the same team as Huan Ran!

If this person was beaten for being arrogant, Yi Hua would also go along.

Yi Hua turned to Yue Yan, but the snake creature had already pretended to summon a bird in the air. It was as if the bird understood his words as well.

"You're a snake charmer, not a bird!" hiss Yi Hua who asked Yue Yan to focus.

Yue Yan replied. Replying with a whisper. "That's great! It means that with anyone we can fight"

Well, it makes sense!

People who feel like slaughtering them will also vigorously place a bet for the defeat of Huan Ran's team. They will put up a lot of money. And, the main point is that they have to win all the matches in the arena.

It's shit but tempting too.

"Hey, Mr ... Where are you guys from?" ask a man sitting at the end.

He looks like a man who has not combed all his life. Not to mention with his sharp and glaring eyes. There's a scar on his left cheek. It must have been a mark from the sword, as well as being proof that he was a fighter. Maybe that scar could be a sign that he's 'strong'.

Well, I don't know.

"Only ordinary pedestrians," replied Huan Ran as he tidied his belongings back.

Huan Ran's hand grabbed Liu Xingsheng's shoulder which remained upright still as usual. It was just that Liu Xingsheng had a head covering so no one could see his face. And, Huan Ran got up from his seat, along with Liu Xingsheng. Apparently Liu Xingsheng's body was actually acting like an 'ordinary'.

When she is told to walk, she will walk. If directed to sit down, then Liu Xingsheng would sit down.

That was why until now Yi Hua still did not understand what Liu Xingsheng was really going through.

But ...

"Only against the quiet Prime Minister! You know, even though he looks like a naive student, but he is one group with Hua Yifeng," said Yi Hua who looked arrogant. Ja. Yi Hua followed along arrogantly because it was indeed his habit.

Xiao continued his criticism as usual. "If they here decide to surround you, don't blame me for not reminding."

Yi Hua remembered that Huan Ran's habit was to argue with An, whose incident was Hua Yifeng. Although Yi Hua is not sure if this Huan Ran knows who he often takes the storm.

SRETT!

The old man, the owner of this tavern, took the pouch with the smile of his horse. Of course Yi Hua felt like babbling there. Moreover, the payment for this man was too expensive, but Yi Hua did not dare to refute Huan Ran.

"Sir, we are here also to provide a place to live" said the uncle who was lulled by the amount of money thrown by Huan Ran.

Huan Ran simply nodded and followed the direction indicated by the uncle with Liu Xingsheng. Yi Hua watched the rough-looking people around them. All of them looked at Yi Hua and the others. Even Jia Yu closed her body to Yi Hua. Feeling scared because their gazes were like they were ready to skin their backs one by one.

Well, Yi Hua should have been used to being made enemies by people.

Yue Yan whispered to Yi Hua. "Be careful here" said Yue Yan.

This place from the beginning was not a good place. Crime centers and no one can manage them. There's nothing strange about coming to them tonight at the place to stay to rob money. Especially with the power Huan Ran threw a bag of money.

Xiao, you're on guard tonight. Let me know if anyone comes near the room!

"What a whisper! Not sleeping at night can damage the skin" Xiao replied with a crisp sound.

God fucking. Does he have skin?

I don't know.
