Chapter 138.1 I Prepared a Room for You (1/2)
Outside the Qing Capital!
Tong An’an hid within a secretive building and looked toward the royal palace. He wiped beads of sweat off his forehead.
“Don’t!” Tong An’an smacked that baldhead, and the latter fell to the ground.
“What… What are you doing?’ The bald man said in shock.
“Zhu Hongyi is here too. Hide first! Don’t show yourselves!” Tong An’an warned.
“So what if Zhu Hongyi is here? Why are you afraid of him?”
Tong An’an stared at them and said, “Bullsh*t. Wang Ke is there too; he’ll know I’m here if he sees you. Hide for now, find Parlor Lord Zi later!”
“Chapter Lord, I realize that you’re becoming less courageous! Like a tortoise!”
“What nonsense! Do you want to be captured again? I’m just being extra careful!” Tong An’an said.
And so, the baldies could only hide inside the building.
A bald man continued to observe and was surprised by what he saw. “The one beside Parlor Lord Zi, isn’t he…..?”
“She Tianba?” Tong An’an was also surprised.
On the cloud of bats stood a huge throng of men in black. A still oblivious Zhang Shenxu was taken along. Standing at the forefront, the attractively dressed Zi Bufan was accompanied by She Tianba.
“I drugged Zhang Shenxu; he won’t be waking up for quite a while!” She Tianba said.
“I wanted Zhang Li’er, but having him works the same. This pair of siblings are quite cautious; my men failed to capture them quite a few times! You actually managed to catch him. Hmm, not bad!” Zi Bufan nodded.
“Thank you, Parlor Lord!” She Tianba said.
“You and Wang Ke have a grudge?” Zi Bufan asked, looking at the latter.
“An irreconcilable grudge! Parlor Lord, if you’re planning on destroying the Wang Clan on behalf of Master Zi, please grant me the privilege to behead Wang Ke myself!” She Tianba requested.
“That will depend on your capability!” Zi Bufan said calmly.
“Parlor Lord, I came to the capital before, I can help you locate Wang Ke and his men; they’re most likely staying in the royal palace. Ahh, I see him! Over there, that’s Wang Ke!” She Tianba felt elated.
He thought he would be in big trouble for losing Zi Bufan’s money, but she was quite pleased with him for taking Zhang Shenxu to her. She Tianba was feeling all lucky once again.
He was still thinking about how to find Wang Ke for revenge; he didn’t expect it would be that easy.
Is everything going to be working this smoothly for me?
“Over there! Haha, Wang Ke won’t be able to run. Parlor Lord, let me do it; I want to kill him. Please help me see if he has any helpers lurking about!” She Tianba was so excited that he was about to pounce on his hated enemy.
Wang Ke was just about to step out of the palace when he saw a horde of demons descending from the sky.
He was indeed shocked by such a sight; he turned towards the inside of the great hall and said, “Come out, quick! Zhu Yan, you too!”
Soon, another throng of demons dressed in black walked out from behind him and stood by his side.
The group defending Wang Ke was close to thirty-demon strong. She Tianba—who was about to attack—was stunned. He halted everything he was about to do.
“Parlor Lord, Wang Ke made preparations!” She Tianba said in embarrassment.
“Whoosh!”
The demons descended from the cloud.
“Greetings, Parlor Lord Zi!” the demons behind Wang Ke greeted her.
She Tianba’s eyes glistened upon seeing them greeting his protector, “You guys are demonic disciples? Then why aren’t you stepping aside? Our sole purpose is to capture Wang Ke! Obstructing us is an act of rebellion!”
She Tianba wanted to intimidate Wang Ke’s demon helpers, but he was ignored.
“Zhu Yan? You didn’t accomplish what you promised me!” Zi Bufan said to the ex-emperor standing behind Wang Ke.
Zhu Yan’s face froze, “Parlor Lord Zi, I wanted to help you, but…!”
The latter’s heart was wrought with such bitterness, but he couldn’t say it out loud. I am helping you! But who could ever think that the events would progress this way?
Although Zi Bufan was admonishing the former emperor, she was gauging Wang Ke simultaneously.
This is the guy who sabotaged my plans time and time again?No one can save you now that I personally came here.
“Parlor Lord Zi, you’re finally here; I’ve been waiting for a long time!” Wang Ke walked up toward her and extended a warm welcome.
“Hmm?” Zi Bufan raised an eyebrow.
Zi Bufan’s subordinates also found that Wang Ke’s words were off. Is this guy crazy?Can’t he see that we’re here to kill him?You didn’t even try escaping, and actually walked toward her?
“You’ve been waiting for me?” Zi Bufan looked at Wang Ke disdainfully. “Haha, so you are Wang Ke? Heh, do you know why I’m here?”
“Of course, Parlor Lord Zi! What took you so long! I’ve already prepared a room just for you! Right here inside this great hall behind me!” Wang Ke pointed to the great hall.
“Uhh?” She Tianba and the group of demons with him looked stunned.
He set up a room?
Wang Ke continued to explain with a smile, “I know, I know, Parlor Lord Zi, there may have been some misunderstandings between you and I, but all of it can be resolved. It took me quite the effort to help you and make this meet-up possible, all in hopes to resolve our misunderstandings!”
“Misunderstandings? Humph, Wang Ke, do you really think all misunderstandings can be resolved?” She Tianba said mockingly.
This is about whether Zi Bufan’s ancestral nephew can reign over the empire. Do you think she would change her mind?Not only you will die today… Your entire clan will be destroyed.
“Parlor Lord Zi, the person waiting inside has dressed himself especially for this occasion! He looks dashing I might say! And he wants to talk to you! Since you’re already here, Parlor Lord Zi, why don’t you head inside and have a chat amongst yourselves?” Wang Ke suggested with a smile.
The men in black and She Tianba widened their eyes in shock.
What’s happening?What did I just hear?
Wang Ke is trying to please Zi Bufan by getting her a room and a man? This is how he resolves all misunderstandings?A stallion of a man?What the hell are you trying to do?Trying to please her with a gigolo?And you are asking Zi Bufan to try and talk to him?
“Wang Ke, you’re nuts! How dare you desecrate Parlor Lord Zi’s person! You must be sick of living! Brothers, let’s tear Wang Ke’s mouth!” She Tianba cried out—
But Zi Bufan stopped him. “Shut up!”
She Tianba was stunned. Why did the Parlor Lord silence me?
“He dressed up, especially for me?” Zi Bufan sounded surprised.
She Tianba looked at Zi Bufan with widened eyes. Parlor Lord, Wang Ke is besmirching your purity! Why is your tone like that?And you looked so elated. Why?
“He didn’t allow me to say it, but he’s wearing a new set of clothes and he did his hair. He looks more handsome now!” Wang Ke affirmed, “Parlor Lord Zi, look, he’s been waiting for a long time already. Why don’t you go inside and chat? We will help you guard the door. I promise that no one will disturb the two of you! After all, this is a rare opportunity!”
She Tianba and the rest stared blankly. Wang Ke, what are you talking about!Is Parlor Lord Zi that kind of a person?Do you think she will date some rogue while everyone is here?And you get to keep watch?
“Okay then!” Zi Bufan nodded.
