The Immortal Emperor Returns-Chapter 595 - I’ll Protect You!

Jiao Zecheng was helpless. He came up with the idea of embarrassing Chu Xun and his companions, but it ended up with a farce. Jinye’s palace had been destroyed. If he remained silent, Jinye would hate him.

A huge palm made of water waves rushed toward Jiu You. Although Jiu You was strong, she was no match for Jiao Zecheng.

Surrounded by Hong Meng Immortal Qi, Chu Xun raised his hand and slammed it down. A huge handprint directly smashed Jiao Zecheng’s huge palm into pieces.

“She is just a naughty girl. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to attack her, Brother Jiao.” Chu Xun’s face darkened.

Jiao Zecheng’s face darkened, and he snorted. He also knew that it was not appropriate for him to attack her. He was acting for Jinye but offended Chu Xun. The loss outweighed the gain.

“Jiu You, stop fooling around,” Chu Xun shouted.

With a flash of light, Jiu You turned into her human form and walked toward Chu Xun, mumbling, “I’m hungry.”

“Jiu You, let’s go and find something to eat. I don’t believe that there is nothing to eat in such a big city in the sea,” Flaming Qilin said angrily.

Jinye’s face turned pale.

“I’m sorry, Jinye. We’ll have to leave now. We’re different from you. Our cultivation is not high, so we have to live on food,” Chu Xun said, then turned around and left.

“Wait a minute, Chu Xun,” Jinye said in a hurry.

Chu Xun stopped and turned to look at him.

Jinye’s face was full of bitterness, and he pretended to smile, saying, “Brother Chu Xun, please don’t blame me for my fault. I thought Jinhua would give you food. I didn’t expect he left so fast. He’s really unreliable.”

Chu Xun was silent, looking at him with a faint smile.

“Brother Chu Xun, you are not familiar with the sea, so please don’t go out and look for food yourself. Please have a rest, and I will send someone to prepare enough food for you,” Jinye smiled and said.

Chu Xun’s eyes flickered slightly, and he felt something wrong with Jinye. Jiu You had destroyed his palace and the courtyard. In theory, even if Jinye did not blame them, he would not be nice to them. But now, his gentle manner made Chu Xun vigilant.

“In that case, thank you.” Chu Xun nodded and left with Jiu You and the others.

Jiao Zecheng looked in the direction where Chu Xun left and asked, “Is there anything wrong in the news?”

Sha Luo said, “Probably not.”

“If the person is really Chu the Devil that Hei Meng mentioned, then he is not similar to what he was described as.”

“Whether he is or not, he has an incomplete map in his hand, so we have to endure them temporarily.” Jinye looked at the ruins, and his face darkened again.

Jiao Zecheng was embarrassed, and he said, “Brother Jinye, I remember that I still have an important matter to deal with, so I have to leave first.”

Jinye gave him a meaningful look and nodded slightly. “Brother Jiao, please go ahead.”

Sha Luo also left.

Jinye’s face was dark. “Bastard!” He scolded angrily. It was hard to say whether it was for Chu Xun or Jiao Zecheng. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

Chu Xun and the others returned to their courtyard. As soon as they entered, Flaming Qilin grinned, gave a thumbs-up to Jiu You, and praised, “Well done!”

“Of course.” Jiu You proudly took out a large piece of meat weighing at least 50 kilograms from her Storage Ring. “Look, this is tiger whale meat.”

Flaming Qilin’s eyes shined. “I haven’t eaten tiger whale meat yet. It looks quite good.”

“Let’s cook it now. I provide the meat, and you can lay a fire,” Jiu You said.

Flaming Qilin clapped his hand with that of Jiu You and said, “I agree with you.”

Jiu You and Flaming Qilin were roasting the meat, while Chu Xun’s eyes kept flickering.

“What are you thinking about?” Mengdie asked Chu Xun curiously.

Chu Xun frowned and said, “I feel a little uneasy, but I don’t know why.”

“Do you feel a danger?” Mengdie asked.

Chu Xun nodded slightly and said, “Yes.”

“Don’t worry, I will protect you,” Mengdie said.

Chu Xun smiled. He was not worried about himself. He was tough, and it was not easy to kill him. He said to Mengdie, “If there is any danger, please protect the three of them.”

Mengdie nodded seriously.

“Where does the smell come from?” Chu Xun smelled the meat. Since he came back, he had been thinking about the reason why Jinye was gentle to him and the reason why he felt uneasy. He did not notice what Jiu You and Flaming Qilin were doing at all.

“They’re toasting meat,” Mengdie said.

Chu Xun walked out of the door and saw the two looking eagerly at the tiger whale meat on the fire.

“It’s cooked, isn’t it?” Jiu You asked, and she swallowed.

“Let me try it.” Flaming Qilin tore off a piece of meat and placed it in his mouth. Then, he said, “It’s done.”

Jiu You’s eyes lit up. She and Flaming Qilin reached out to grab the meat but failed. The meat disappeared.

Su Wei’er covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled. She pointed behind them. When they turned around, they saw the meat was in Chu Xun’s hand.

“Chu the Devil, you robber, give me back my meat.” Flaming Qilin pounced on Chu Xun.

Chu Xun skimmed over his head, tore off a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth with a look of enjoyment. The tiger whale meat was really delicious and smelt good.

“It’s delicious.” Chu Xun commented, and as he spoke, rays of light shot out of his mouth.

“Chu Xun, it belongs to me. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll fight you.” Jiu You was like a mad lion. She blocked Chu Xun with Flaming Qilin.

Chu Xun dodged everywhere with the meat. He ate mouthfuls of it, and his mouth was covered with grease. Jiu You and Flaming Qilin were so angry that they screamed. They chased after Chu Xun desperately. For a while, the whole courtyard was in chaos.

“Stop fooling around. A group of people is coming.” Chu Xun stopped and returned the meat to them.

As expected, several shrimp and crab guards came with food.

Flaming Qilin’s face was full of disdain. He pointed at the food and said, “Do you live on this?” The food was all fruit. There wasn’t any meat.”

“No!” A shrimp guard said.

“We all eat meat.”

“What kind of meat?”

“Small fish and small shrimps.”

Flaming Qilin’s eyes widened. “You eat meat, but why do you give these to us to eat? Are you treating us like rabbits?”

These shrimp and crab guards were frightened. “Don’t you eat these? It took us a lot of effort to get them.”

“Is it worth so much effort to you?” Flaming Qilin said furiously. “Are you trying to fool me?”

“How dare we fool you? We’ve been to several cities to get them.”

“Is there no fruit in your sea?”

The shrimp and crab guards nodded. “Some places have fruit, but they are all occupied by other forces. We can only buy them at a high price.”

Flaming Qilin’s face was full of confusion. He was stunned for a while and said, “This sea region is truly too poor.”

Chu Xun smiled. The sea was vast, boundless, and abundant in resources. However, some things only existed on land, so they were precious in the sea.

“Don’t trouble yourself next time. Please get us some meat,” Chu Xun said.

The shrimp and crab guards nodded hurriedly.

Flaming Qilin suddenly had a wicked smile on his face. He took out the roasted tiger whale meat and asked them, “Does it look good?”

The shrimp and crab guards smelled the strong smell of meat. They couldn’t help drooling, and they kept nodding.

“I like your reaction.” Flaming Qilin laughed happily. “Thank you for sending us food. I’ll treat you to it.”

As he spoke, he tore off some pieces of the tiger whale meat and stuffed them into their hands.

The shrimp and crab guards stared at the meat in their hands in a daze.

“Please eat it. This is a special food on land. If you don’t eat it, you will regret having not eaten it for the rest of your life. After eating it, you can brag about it,” Flaming Qilin said.

The shrimp and crab guards looked at each other for a while. In the end, they couldn’t stand the temptation of the meat and thanked Flaming Qilin profusely.

“Hurry up and eat it.” Flaming Qilin urged and widened his tiger-like eyes.

At first, the shrimp and crab guards carefully tasted it. Then they began to eat.

“Does it taste good?” Flaming Qilin smiled wickedly.

“Delicious, it’s delicious.”

The shrimp and crab guards ate for a while, and their mouths were covered with grease. Feeling the rich life essence in the meat, they almost went crazy with joy. They quickly swallowed several kilograms of roasted meat.

“Thank you.” A shrimp guard spoke up. As a result, some light rays sprayed out from his mouth, scaring him into covering his mouth. He didn’t want to waste the essence of the meat.

After a while, a shrimp guard asked with a flattering smile, “Sir, what meat is this? It’s delicious.”

“It is tiger whale meat. It was just roasted,” Flaming Qilin said.

They were dumbfounded, and then their bodies began to tremble violently. They were all frightened. They had eaten one of their master’s meat. If other masters knew about it, they would kill them.

“Why did you trick us?” All of them had miserable looks on their faces.

“Do I have to trick you? Please carefully feel if your cultivation has increased.” Flaming Qilin smirked.

“It’s over. We will die.” A shrimp guard sat on the ground with a dull look and murmured to himself.

The others sat on the ground paralyzed and burst into tears.

Flaming Qilin laughed happily. Then he said to them, “Don’t cry. I’ll keep this a secret for you. It would be known only by the heaven, earth, and us.”

“Really?” A shrimp guard looked at Flaming Qilin with a face full of hope. If the news didn’t spread out, they would be fine.

“Of course. I’m sure,” Flaming Qilin said with a serious expression.

“Thank you, sir.” The shrimp and crab guards were very grateful.

“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. Everything is fair. I promise to keep it a secret for you, but you have to answer a few of my questions.”

“Please speak ahead.”

“Which forces are the strongest in the eastern sea region?” Flaming Qilin asked.

“There are four major forces in the eastern sea region, our Tiger Whale Clan, Sea Wyrm Clan, White Shark Clan, and the Sea Snack Clan.”

“Do you know where Jinhua has gone?”

“He went to the Sea Snack Clan,” a shrimp guard said.

“Why does he go to the Sea Snack Clan?”

These shrimp and crab guards looked at each other and hesitated.

“Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’ll spread the news now,” Flaming Qilin threatened them.

“We’ll tell you. Actually, we’re not sure either. We heard that there were some guests in the Sea Snack Clan. They were from the continent. The name of one of them is Hei Meng.”

Flaming Qilin looked at Chu Xun and said, “Draconian race.”

Chu Xun nodded slightly with a serious expression. The alien races acted faster than he had imagined, and they had begun to contact the forces in the sea.
