Meeting at the Restaurant
🕑 Added 2025-01-26 07:14:15 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 305 ---
"Okay, we are back!" Yu Long said with a satisfied smile.
Even though the atmosphere in the Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley wasn't too bad, he still prefers a place with vitality. Not to mention, the Golden Crow's Trial Grounds are hot and dry.
Well, it's not so dry with Huan Caiyi around. This woman was made of water, very moist.
"They fixed the wall so quickly." Huan Caiyi nodded in satisfaction. After all, these walls were 'utterly' destroyed by the Heavenly Kings on the day of her ceremony. Seeing it tall and firm like this made her feel good.
"Maybe I can add enhancements to these walls, and they can protect the city better."
"Good idea. You can ask Thalia for your Witchcraft's materials." Yu Long commented casually. "She should have more than enough to help you."
"Okay." Huan Caiyi accepted Yu Long's words well. Honestly, if she didn't know Thalia was Dante, she would still ask for help from the latter as the empress. Thalia, or "Dante." was a master craftsman beyond common sense.
Not to mention, Huan Caiyi wanted to improve her Witchcraft, and Thalia might help her. Of course, Huan Caiyi could have asked Yu Long to help her with the Witchcraft, but she also had 'strong' pride as an Empress.
Huan Caiyi doesn't want to rely on Yu Long too much.
Witch's cultivation technique, Duke Ming, and the Golden Crow's Trial Grounds alone are enough to make her indebted forever.
One might think one more help wouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately, Huan Caiyi didn't think so. Her mentality has always been strong. If not, she wouldn't be the Demon Empress!
Grow~!
Huan Caiyi's stomach suddenly rumbled.
Yu Long and Yujin stared at Huan Caiyi, seeing her expression frozen and her cheeks reddened.
"Pfft, girl. Be more dignified. You're a ruler of a country." Yujin didn't even bother to hold back. She laughed straight to the Demon Empress's face.
Feeling embarrassed, Huan Caiyi blushed even more, reaching to her adorable ears.
Yu Long shook his head, "Stop teasing Caiyi, Yujin. It's good that we are out at lunchtime. Let's have lunch somewhere."
"Food, huh?" Yujin rubbed her chin.
"I haven't eaten anything for so long."
In the past, Yujin used to fight with the Dragon Clan because she killed too many True Dragons to fill her stomach. Well, back then, the term "Bigger Fist solves everything" was much more brutal.
Then, again. Evil God helped Yujin and the Dragon Clan to reconcile when the Devil Race declared war against the God's Race.
Funnily enough, the Dragon God doesn't seem to care much about True Dragon outside the core family.
Well, that's the past. The current Dragon Clan is not worthy to hold the Dragon God's majesty.
After agreeing to have lunch together, the three walked around the Demon Imperial Family.
They could have returned to the Demon Imperial Palace and had lunch cooked by the skilled servants there, but Huan Caiyi said she knew a place with great food and drinks.
Huan Caiyi led them to this lowkey restaurant called Little Butterfly Garden.
Yu Long narrowed his eyes and chuckled because he sensed some familiar presence in the restaurant. Well, isn't this a surprise?
"Let's go inside." Yu Long said with a smile.
Although Yu Long expected Chu Yeuli to visit him soon after getting the news about the One Hundred Years' Reign ceremony, he didn't expect her to come so soon.
It seemed someone was missing him. Thinking about it, Yu Long couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"I will order the food." Huan Caiyi said, realizing Yu Long was paying attention to someone in the restaurant. "Is that good?"
Yu Long nodded, "Thank you, Caiyi."
"You're welcome. This much is nothing compared to what you have done for me." Huan Caiyi humbly replied yet felt a little joy due to Yu Long's words.
Huan Caiyi recalled the foods Yu Long likes to eat. However, he doesn't seem to be a picky eater as long as the food isn't too gammy.
Meanwhile, Yujin's eyes light up when ordering food comes into their conversation.
The revived Golden Crow walked to Huan Caiyi and dragged her to the restaurant, "Let's go!"
Yu Long saw this in amusement. He wondered what would happen if Yujin met with Yuyan later.
He already imagined the chaos.
Divine Phoenix Empire, Yuyan opened her eyes after a focused meditation session and furrowed her brow heavily.
"What's the matter?" asked Hong Guan. "You look annoyed for some reason."
Yuyan rubbed her temple, "It's nothing. I just felt a familiar sensation from the past. It rubs me in the wrong way."
"Huh? That's very rare coming from you." Hong Guan commented honestly.
"Yeah..." The revived Phoenix also wondered why she felt like this.
Honestly, Yuyan's personality has mellowed down a bit. Maybe because she hadn't seen Yu Long for a while, but this annoyance from her heart was almost instinctual.
Yuyan shook her head, "Whatever."
"Hong Guan, guard the area for me. I want to condense my Divine Core here."
"Divine Core... Understood!" Hong Guan's eyes flashed with surprise when Yuyan mentioned condensing Divine Core. According to Yuyan, the Divine Core is a 'stable' crystallization of all her energy, which could enhance her strength by a leap.
Unfortunately, it wasn't suitable for humans. While Hong Guan has gotten powerful bloodlines transplanted into her body, she was 'essentially' a human still.
Yuyan is different. She was a Divine Beast, then a Reborn Kaiju. She could form a Divine Core thanks to her new biological advantage.
Back to Yu Long, he walked into the restaurant and knocked on one of the rooms.
"Who is there?" asked a frowning voice.
"This presence..." mumbled another voice.
Someone opened the door before Yu Long could. It was Yona with slobbering sauce around her mouth.
And Yu Long is not going to lie. She looks adorable.
"Master!" Yona pounced on Yu Long with a bright smile, rubbing the sauce on his clothes.
Yu Long helplessly caught the wild woman and sighed, "Aih."
He took out a handkerchief and wiped Yona's mouth clean, making the latter pout in dissatisfaction. She was about to lick the sauce.
As for the sauce on his clothes, Yu Long casually snapped his finger and used "Force Bubble" to extract the sauce away. It was so quick that no one noticed this operation.
Even Chu Yueli, who was the most familiar with Yu Long, couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She swore to the gods that her young master did something a moment ago.
"Boss!" Yun Che shouted in surprise. His eyes widened because he didn't expect to see Yu Long in Little Butterfly Garden.
What's with this restaurant?
Is this the gathering place of powerhouses?
Yu Long waved his hand at Yun Che, "Yo! It's been a while, Yun Che."
Honestly, Yu Long met with Yun Che back at the Hundred Years Reign Ceremony, but they didn't greet each other.
Yu Long was busy watching the fights, including Yun Che beating the younger generations from Duke Huai Faction.
Then, someone caught Yu Long's attention.
Yu Long glanced at the two figures behind Yun Che and found one was similar to the Elf Clan's leader, while the other had some facial attributes like Xiao Lingxi.
'Ah, this fellow. Is he Yun Xiao?' Yu Long thought, observing the young man with great interest.
Yun Xiao felt Yu Long's gaze and couldn't help but become nervous, stuttering when greeting him. "N-Nice to meet you, Consort Yu!"
"..." Yu Long's mouth twitched.
That damned title again!
