Ch567 - The Palace Banquet

At night, a sumptuous banquet was held in the main hall of the Palace. The attendees included the Tiger Emperor, Empress, Third Prince, Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince, Seventh Princess, and Eighth Princess, as well as Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu.

The Tiger Emperor and Empress sat on the main throne, sharing a long table, while the others sat on both sides, each with a low table. There were exquisite and delicious Dimsums, exquisite immortal beast meat and high-grade immortal fruits on the table.

“Nephew Liu, Nephew Jiang, it is your credit that my two Sons have returned safely this time. Come, I toast you both.” The Tiger Emperor took the initiative to toast.

“Thank you very much, Your Majesty.” Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu picked up their glasses and quickly thanked them, drinking their first glass of wine.

“Two Immortal Friends, this second cup of wine is from this Palace to you. Thank you for saving my two Sons.”

“Thank you, Your Highness the Empress.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu drank their second glass of wine.

“Immortal Friend Liu and Immortal Friend Jiang, this third cup of wine, my Sixth Brother and I salute you all together. Thank you very much for your life-saving kindness.” The Fifth Prince raised his glass and looked at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu across from him.

“Yes, to you.” Nodding, the Sixth Prince, who usually pokes his nose and eyes sideways, also raised his glass seriously to toast.

“Thank you, Your Highnesses.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu drank this third glass of wine.

“Immortal Friend Liu, I also toast you, thank you for saving my two Brothers.” said the Seventh Princess, raising her glass while she cast a seductive glance at Liu Mufeng.

“Thank you very much for the Seventh Princess’s kindness, but my tolerance for alcohol is not good. I have already had three glasses and can’t drink anymore.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng politely declined.

“What are the rules of the Tiger Clan? Not letting us eat and only pouring us wine to drink. Are you trying to get us both drunk and save these exquisite dishes and immortal fruits?” Jiang Xu rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied.Don’t treat him like a fool, okay? What are you doing staring at his men so straightforwardly? Do you still want to know what the robbery is like?

“Hahaha, Nephew Jiang is joking. I can still afford this immortal fruit. Nephew Jiang can eat as much as he wants,” The Tiger Emperor responded, amused.

“En, thank you very much, Your Majesty.” Jiang Xu picked up an immortal fruit and took a bite. “Not bad, so sweet. Mufeng, try it.”

“Mmm.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng leaned over and took another bite at the spot where his wife had bitten. “It’s really sweet.”

“Thank you very much for the Seventh Princess’s kindness, but I don’t like sweet food.XiaoXu likes it. If you have any fruit, we can buy some from you.” Liu Mufeng said with a formulaic smile.

“Right, right, both of you are benefactors of our Royal Family. If I give you a few fruits, it will be considered as gratitude for saving my two Brothers.” The Seventh Princess nodded and quickly said.

“That’s not necessary. Your Majesty has already given me the immortal crystals. I dare not accept the generous gift from the Seventh Princess.” Liu Mufeng refused with a smile on his lips.

“You…” The Seventh Princess couldn’t help but frown as she looked at Liu Mufeng, who refused at any rate.

“Alright, don’t show off. You’re not the only one who has the fruit, I have it too, I’ll deliver it myself, you don’t need to help me deliver it.” The Sixth Prince said, looking at his Sister with displeasure. Turning his head to look at Jiang Xu. “Jiang Xu, if you like to eat, tomorrow I will have someone pick a box for you and send it over.”

“Okay, thank you very much to the Sixth Prince.” With a smile, Jiang Xu directly accepted the other party’s gift. Anyway, he was leaving tonight, it’s okay to agree.

“No need to be polite.” Looking at Jiang Xu, who was thanking him, the Sixth Prince turned his head awkwardly.

Looking at theChuunibyouteenager, Liu Mufeng shook his head helplessly and said to himself,“This kid’s temper is really as awkward as it is.”

“Immortal Friend Liu, I have something that I don’t quite understand. I want to ask Immortal Friend Liu for advice.” The Third Prince spoke as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

“I don’t dare to give advice. If the Third Prince has any orders I will try to answer if I can.” The smile on his lips turned cold for a moment. Liu Mufeng knew that this Third Prince and that Second Prince were in the same group, and what he wanted to ask would definitely not be anything good.

“Immortal Friend Liu’s strength is of the later stage of Void Immortal, and your partner Immortal Friend Jiang has the strength of the middle stage of the Void Immortal. I don’t know how they killed the Sea Saint Immortal King, completely annihilated 53 members of the Heavenly Pirates, and rescued my two Younger Brothers? I am very curious about this.” The Third Prince asked in a deep voice full of meaning as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

Liu Mufeng smiled calmly. “I think the Third Prince may have some misunderstanding. I have never said that I killed the Sea Saint Immortal King.”

“Oh? So, what does Immortal Friend Liu mean?” The Third Prince raised his eyebrows and asked.

Upon hearing the Third Prince’s question, the Tiger Emperor and Empress were also very interested. They had asked their two Sons, but they said they agreed to Liu Mufeng and not tell anyone about it. Therefore, they were also unclear about how their two Sons were saved, and they couldn’t understand how the two Void Immortals, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, killed an Immortal King.

“In fact, this matter is very simple. On that day, my Master took me andXiaoXu on a journey to search for immortal herbs under the sea, and accidentally discovered the lair of the Sea Saint Immortal King. My Master and His Majesty the Fox King are close friends, and because of the death of the Tenth Princess, His Majesty the Fox King hated the Sea Saint very much. Therefore, when we met the Sea Saint, my Master naturally wouldn’t let him go and killed the Sea Saint and wiped out the Pirate Group to avenge His Majesty the Fox King. As for saving the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince, it was indeed a coincidence. After saving the two Princes, my Master ordered me andXiaoXu to take them away and safely send them back to the Tiger Clan.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

Upon hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Jiang Xu, who was gnawing on immortal fruits, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and said to himself,“Did Mufeng get himself another Immortal Emperor Master?”However, this idea was really good. It could not only explain the death of the Sea Saint Immortal King, but also let the cultivators of the Tiger Clan know that they were cultivators with support and not just casual cultivators.

After listening to Liu Mufeng’s narration, the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but twitch his lips and think to himself,“Liu Mufeng is really shameless. He doesn’t even blink when telling such lies.”

Taking a glance at Liu Mufeng, the Fifth Prince couldn’t help but admire his sharp reaction ability.

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince nodded. “So, it’s your Master who killed the Sea Saint, not Immortal Friend Liu and just took on the escort work.”

“Yes.” Liu Mufeng nodded.

“Who is Immortal Friend Liu’s Master, dare I ask?” The Third Prince asked.

Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly. “I feel ashamed about this matter. My Master is highly respected and has close friends with His Majesty the Tiger Emperor and the Fox Emperor. He is also a well-known figure in Middle Heavenly Domain. However, I am an immature disciple, and my Master has high expectations of me, but I have never met my Master’s requirements, so my Master has never publicly recognized me as his disciple, and I have no right to say to others that I am Master’s disciple.”

“Um…” The Third Prince’s mouth twitched wildly as he thought to himself,“This Liu Mufeng clearly does not want to say who his Master is.”

The Sixth Prince rolled his eyes repeatedly thinking,“You can just make up for yourself. I have a nose and eyes. You don’t even blink your eyes when you lie.”

Upon hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, the Empress frowned. “You don’t have to worry, Nephew Liu, I believe your Master will eventually understand that you are very excellent.”

“I hope so.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng let out a light sigh, still looking sad.

“Nephew Liu, you are from the Shao family, you must be an alchemist?” Tiger Emperor asked tentatively as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

“Yes Your Majesty, I am a level nine alchemist.” Liu Mufeng nodded.

“Puff...” As Liu Mufeng’s words fell, the Sixth Prince sprayed out a mouthful of wine. “Liu Mufeng, can you stop talking nonsense and deceiving my father? You, what do you do? Don’t I and my Fifth Brother know yet?”

Looking at the Sixth Prince, Liu Mufeng smiled. “I have always been an alchemist, why is the Sixth Prince having such a big reaction?”

“You…” Staring at Liu Mufeng, the Sixth Prince was about to speak when the Fifth Prince next to him stuffed an immortal fruit into the other’s mouth.

“Don’t say anything foolish, Liu Mufeng is a dual cultivator of Medicinal Pills and Poison. Have you forgotten what he said to the Sea Saint? Have you forgotten why he had a grudge against the Sea Saint?” The Fifth Prince immediately transmitted a message to his stupid Younger Brother.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince was stunned and immediately remembered the conversation between Liu Mufeng and Sea Saint that day. Yes, at that time, Liu Mufeng said that the Sea Saint had robbed his pills, injured his pet, and even chopped off his pet’s arm, so he wanted revenge. That was to say, Liu Mufeng was indeed an alchemist.

“Oh? A Master Alchemist? That’s amazing. I heard that human Alchemist is the industry that earns the most immortal crystals. I wonder if Immortal Friend Liu can show us a hand and broaden our horizons?” The Third Prince smiled as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Refining pills is not something that anyone can watch just because they want to.”

“Yeah, my family’s Mufeng is a ninth level alchemist. Whoever wants to see the ninth level alchemist refine pills, can watch after paying ten million immortal crystals for one time watch.” Jiang Xu casually gnawed on the spiritual fruit and said expressionlessly, thinking to himself,“Does the Sixth Prince, this fool, have such dark thoughts about Mufeng? This idiot, he was really saved in vain. If it weren’t for immortal crystal’s sake, I would really want to beat this guy up.
