Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 998 - 1008: Bad News

"Feng, when you return to the Great Chu Empire, I’m definitely going with you. You promised, never to leave me alone in this lifetime. I’m truly afraid of those lonely, fearful days."

Chang’e took the initiative to hold onto Chu Feng’s arm.

"Mm, don’t worry, if there is no death to part us, we will never be separated while alive!"

Chu Feng looked at her tenderly. In this lifetime, to have four beloved women, all of whom are breathtaking beauties and utterly devoted to him without regret.

He felt content!

And he especially cherished this hard-won happiness.

The two of them flew hand in hand out of the backyard, heading straight to the most picturesque Imperial Garden in Baihu City.

It was surrounded by mountains and water with unique landscaping.

It was said that it used to be a special Imperial Garden for the Emperor’s enjoyment.

Later, a wise and virtuous king from the Divine Baihu Kingdom felt that the Imperial Garden was built with great luxury out of the people’s resources.

He took the initiative to remove part of the walls of the Imperial Palace, opening the Imperial Garden to the public.

All the people of Baihu City, subjects and citizens alike, could enter the Imperial Garden to enjoy the views and play.

Chu Feng brought Chang’e to the entrance of the Imperial Garden.

"Wow, what beautiful scenery!" Chang’e couldn’t help but express her admiration.

Just the scenery and buildings outside the gate were already so beautiful.

The beautiful scenery inside was quite anticipated.

The entire Baihu City housed at least tens of millions of people, with many tourists coming from afar for it by reputation.

It’s very lively here.

Visitors came in an endless stream; there were elderly people with white hair playing and strolling with their grandchildren, and young couples stealthily meeting for dates.

In this era, etiquette was heavily emphasized.

Even if a girl found a man she liked, she wasn’t allowed any physical closeness without marriage or betrothal. They weren’t even allowed to see each other privately.

Only under the witnesses of elders could they exchange glances and feelings.

But where there’s a policy from above, there’s a countermeasure from below.

The rules set by elders weren’t to be defied by the young, but finding an excuse to visit a scenic spot like the Imperial Garden was beyond objection.

Then, they could meet their sweetheart and enjoy the day together.

No problem at all.

Under the public’s surveillance, there’s no chance of misbehavior.

Of course, it’s not absolute. Some young couples, overwhelmed by feelings, sneak off to do inappropriate things, which happens often.

"Are you happy?" Chu Feng looked at Chang’e’s face, always showing such a happy and content smile. He also felt very pleased.

Accompanying Chang’e around the garden, the mountains were beautiful, the water was beautiful, the scenery was beautiful, and the person was even more beautiful.

Zhong Zhan, of the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God Level, only followed them from a distance, not disturbing the two.

...

After a day of sightseeing, Chang’e was still reluctant to leave. Chu Feng, however, was concerned about the Great Chu Empire and insisted on taking her back to the Longevity Hall.

As soon as they entered the backyard, Li Shishi was already anxiously waiting for Chu Feng.

Seeing her like this, something major must have happened?

"Master, you’re finally back! There’s news from the Great Chu Empire that the Panlong Heavenly Emperor is leading an army of five hundred thousand, collaborating with experts from the Undying Tomb to fully attack the Great Chu Empire. They’ve threatened to destroy Great Chu in three days."

Chu Feng was previously chased by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and those from the Undying Tomb.

He had already foreseen this result.

But he didn’t expect the storm to come so quickly.

With Chu Feng’s current strength, fighting the formidable ones from the Undying Tomb was still quite a challenge.

However, the despicable Panlong Heavenly Emperor was someone Chu Feng would soon have the strength to kill.

"The situation is urgent, I’ll rush to the capital city of the Great Chu Empire overnight." Chu Feng thought of a simple and quick way to travel. That was to use the Penglai Auction as a route.

However, if he did this, Chang’e might be exposed.

Moreover, the Great Chu Empire was now very dangerous. If Chang’e followed, any harm befalling her would cause Chu Feng lifelong pain.

Unfortunately, he had just promised her not to be separated.

Moreover, his beloved wives Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang were steadfast in the Great Chu Empire. Gritting his teeth, Chu Feng decided not to be hesitant anymore.

"Shishi, you stay here for now. I’ll take Chang’e over first, and after the situation stabilizes, I’ll come back to get you." Chu Feng’s Intermediate Member Card for the Penglai Auction only allowed one companion.

"Alright!" Li Shishi looked at Chang’e with some envy.

When she first got together with Chu Feng, he had told her that he might not be able to give her a status.

So Li Shishi was mentally prepared for this.

Though she hid her emotions well, Chu Feng still caught a glimpse of her loneliness and sadness.

"Your role in gathering intelligence is significant, don’t be negligent." Chu Feng smiled at Li Shishi.

"Ah... got it!" Li Shishi’s face lit up, turning from a rainy to a sunny expression.

Chu Feng didn’t say anything more, taking Chang’e directly toward the Baihu City contact point of the Penglai Auction, hoping they’d still be open at night.

When Chu Feng brought Chang’e to the auction’s contact point,

fortunately, they were just preparing to close but hadn’t yet.

"Ah-Jiu, wait, I have something urgent and need to go in." Chu Feng hurried into the general store.

Manager Bai and Ah-Jiu both looked at Chang’e beside Chu Feng in surprise.

The two of them holding hands clearly indicated a very close relationship.

"Junior Brother Chu, you really have good fortune! Having Miss Shishi and now winning over the City Lord Jin Ling’s daughter." Manager Bai joked, having developed some rapport with Chu Feng recently.

Ah-Jiu also gave Chu Feng a thumbs-up in secret.

The daughter of City Lord Jin Ling was renowned for her beauty and charm. But she was very proud, not even noticing the young talents of Sword Immortal City.

Unexpectedly, Chu Feng quietly won her over.

"Shopkeeper, don’t ruin it! Open the door and quickly help me open the portal!"

Chu Feng didn’t explain to avoid unnecessary complications.

Right now, the most important thing was to rush back to the Great Chu Empire.

The Jin Ling Family and the Ye Family seemed to be at odds.

If Chang’e’s true identity were revealed, it could easily bring disaster upon her.

The enemies from whom she was taken wouldn’t let her go.

Zhong Zhan also followed into the general store, silently keeping behind the two.

Manager Bai and Ah-Jiu exchanged glances; they both recognized Zhong Zhan.

After all, even in Sword Immortal City, a supreme expert of the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God Level wasn’t something you’d see everywhere.

They were even more convinced that Chang’e was City Lord Jin Ling’s daughter.

Otherwise, why would Zhong Zhan, the Jin Ling Family’s servant, be closely guarding her?

After opening the Light Gate, Chu Feng and Chang’e were the first to step through.

As for Zhong Zhan, Chu Feng paid him no mind.

Nor could he control him.

If this man wanted to follow, he could.

Initially, it was thought Zhong Zhan didn’t have a Penglai Auction membership card. Unexpectedly, Zhong Zhan did, and he entered smoothly.

To think about it, it’s no wonder.

Zhong Zhan, possessing the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God cultivation, already met the qualifications for becoming a Penglai Auction member.

"Just don’t let Ye Wu be alerted!" Chu Feng silently prayed in his heart.
