Chapter 990 Gossips in the Tavern

Gong Muk asked Ji Yuan where he wanted to go in the Royal City of Nefarious.

Ji Yuan whispered, “Let’s go to the tavern first. It is where we can easily pick up fresh news. Also, we can find our lodgings at the same time.”

With that, they had entered a big tavern that was called the Double Stabbing Swords in the middle of a busy street.

Gong Muk easily found a table after he had dropped 10 blood crystals to the serving abyssals, “Get me a seat.”

With that, Ji Yuan and Gong Muk had a corner seat in the tavern.

Barely had they sat down, many attractive Fells maidens began to walk seductively to Gong Muk as they hoped to attract his attention.

However Ji Yuan shook his head to give a hint to Gong Muk that he wished to be alone. š¯‘›š¯‘¶š¯—¸š¯‘¬š¯‘™š¯—‡š¯‘¬xt.š¯’øš¯’Ŗš¯“‚

So Gong Muk grunt, “I don’t need any maidens. I am here to eat only.”

This caused the many attractive Fells maidens to look disappoint but they were soon patronizing the other tables since they could see that Gong Muk was not a high level abyssal anyway.

Ji Yuan saw that these Fells maidens

Gong Muk then asked Ji Yuan, “Do you want to eat anything?”

Ji Yuan took a look at the exotic foods that were on the other tables and said bitterly, “No thanks.”

Gong Muk ordered plenty of foods and he was greedily savoring the food since he was now rich and it was all thanks to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan saw that there were giant snails, oysters, carrion worms, giant louses, giant cockroaches and many exotic insects on the table and he was stunned.

Gong Muk on the other hand was already drooling from the exotic foods that were on the table and he wasted no time in picking a giant snail and to suck it out of its shell and into his mouth.

He did not forget that he was a servant of Ji Yuan and asked him soon after, “Empyrean Ji Yuan, do you want to try this? This is really delicious and it is also a popular food among the humans in the lower realms.”

Ji Yuan bitterly said, “No, thanks. I don’t eat insects.”

Gong Muk protested immediately, “This isn’t an insect but a slime.”

Ji Yuan said weakly, “Anything that has a skeleton bone on the outside is an insect to me. It is the characteristics of an insect. I can’t eat it as it is considered to be an unclean food for me.”

All of a sudden there were worms spewing from Gong Muk’s mouth as he chewed the giant snail, “Wow, there are worms in this snail’s stomach. This is a real bonus!”

Ji Yuan: ā€¦

A beautiful Fells maiden had suddenly approached with a wry smile and she was carrying a large dish of giant maggots. “These blood maggots are the most expensive food in our tavern. I hope that this great abyssal here would enjoy your meal.”

Gong Muk laughed delightfully and his eager mouth was already watering when he saw the blood maggots crawling in the large bowl that was brought by this Fells maiden. “I’ve always wanted to try your tavern’s specialty blood maggots.”

The Fell maiden smiled and winked at Gong Muk, “These blood maggots are fed with the flesh and blood of the humans. It is an absolute delicacy.”

Ji Yuan: ā€¦

Gong Muk grinned at the Fell maiden as he tossed her a blood crystal as a tip and he had slapped her bared butt, “Leave the blood maggots here and go.”

The Fell maiden was delighted by the tip and she gave Gong Muk another wink before she walked off.

Gong Muk began to feast hungrily and he also drank a glass of blue liquid of an exotic shell fish.

Ji Yuan was totally speechless when he saw the wide variety of insects on the table; this was the most disgusting foods that he had ever seen and yet to the abyssals, these foods were the most desirable delicacies!

He was thinking luckily that Tang Manni and Little Jie’Er were not here.

Xiang Li and Anyang on the other hand were looking as disgusted as Ji Yuan.

Aura on the other hand was saying: Wow, these foods can be my fertilizers too. Masā€¦ master, I want tooā€¦

But Ji Yuan quickly interrupted her with a bitter voice: You are not getting any insects into my soul sea. Not ever.

While Gong Muk was eating, Ji Yuan was naturally standing behind Gong Muk and pretending to massage his back; after all, Ji Yuan was a slave of Gong Muk and he should act like a slave.

Ji Yuan was thinking: Darn. I have regretted coming to this realm nowā€¦

He spent some time in the tavern and soon found out that there were not much of any interesting news; these abyssals were just simply interested to boast about martial abilities or sexual conquests.

When he saw that Gong Muk had almost finished eating and he was looking really satisfied with his meal, he whispered to him. “Let’s go to our lodgings in this tavernā€¦”

All of a sudden, there was an excited brown abyssal that had rushed into the tavern and he was shouting to everyone. “Did you hear the news yet?!!!”

The noisy tavern had suddenly died down as almost all the abyssals were looking in the direction of this excited brown abyssal; obviously they had not heard of his news yet.

Actually this brown abyssal also knows that none of the abyssals in the tavern had heard of his news yet and he was the first one to know. As a long time patron of this tavern, he was naturally eager to announce this news to all the abyssals in the tavern so that he could receive their acclaims.

The owner of this tavern was a red abyssal with a fourth cultivation realm and he was growling to the brown abyssal, “Kong Jumal, your news has better to be good. If it is, then I shall buy your drinks tonight.”

Kong Jumal was naturally the excited brown abyssal that had just barged excitingly into the tavern. He wasted no time in shouting exciting, “This news will stun all of you! Our King, Gong Magog has proposed a marriage for the Cardinal Priestess to come to the Royal City of Nefarious in 2 weeks’ time or he will sack the Nightfall Heights. Guess what? The Cardinal Priestess has agreed to come and marry our king!”

Many of the abyssals were suddenly excited, including Gong Muk and they were all talking loudly to discuss this news.

The tavern owner said to Kong Jumal with a grin, “You have earned yourself free drinks on the house!”

“Our King intends to be an abyssal emperor!”

“He is going to take the Cardinal Priestess as his consort!”

“This is a breaking news indeed!”

“Holy shit, this can’t be trueā€¦.”

“The Cardinal Priestess will actually humble herself?”

“Our king is really powerfulā€¦”

“Our King really hurt the pride of the Ancient Old Onesā€¦”

Ji Yuan asked Gong Muk curiously, “Why is all the abyssals so excited about this news?”

Gong Muk beamed with pride, “Well, if you remember what I have told you previously. The Ancient Old Ones are like the holy priests of the abyssal races. And their highest order priestess is the Cardinal Priestess. They are actually vowed to celibacy and they had rarely married outside their own race. If our King dares to take the Cardinal Priestess as his consort, this means that the Cardinal Priestess is now forced to accept his authority as superior over their old religionā€¦”

Then he added with a big grin, “It also means that the Cardinal Priestess has lost the support of the other abyssal kingdoms and is willing to accept our King Gong Magog as the abyssal emperor. This is the insane power of our Holy Communism!”

Ji Yuan said, “Well, I have heard that if this Cardinal Priestess does not agree with your king then he shall sack the Nightfall Heights.”

Gong Muk grinned, “The Ancient Abyssal Cathedral is situated at the Nightfall Heights and that is where the Cardinal Priestess is.”

Ji Yuan was curious, “How come the other abyssal kingdoms are suddenly not supporting the Cardinal Priestess anymore? I thought your Ancient Old Ones are considered untouchable?”

Gong Muk bended down and he whispered, “I’ve heard that a totem great abyssals from up there, the Great Abyssal Realm is here. With a powerful immortal abyssal supporting our king, does the Cardinal Priestess still have a choice?”

Ji Yuan said weakly, “Well, this matter doesn’t concern me. I am not interested in the politics of the abyssals. Also, this Cardinal Priestess must be an ugly abyssal and not to my taste.”

Gong Muk looked shocked as he stared at Ji Yuan, “Please do not say that! The Cardinal Priestess is the most beautiful abyssal maiden in the entire Dark Abyssal Realm!”

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes with a sheepish look and he was not convinced. But still, he lied, “Yeah, right.”

The Abyssals were definitely not to his taste!
