The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 615 In Me the Tiger Sniffs the Rose

The wind was blowing, and the leaves were rustling. Some leaves fell on those people under the tree. No one cared. It was rare for everyone to gather together. They were so happy.

Chu Xun became a chef. Although he only knew how to barbecue, it was enough. The meat was from the sea region. They went for an outing but were still around Dream Hell Mountain.

“Chef Chu, please hurry up...” Flaming Qilin urged. Seeing that Chu Xun was roasting slowly, he added more fire, and then the shrimp meat weighing more than a dozen kilograms was roasted and divided by everyone.

Little Bai ran over and took a bite of the meat secretly. Finally, it vomited as Mengdie did before. “Is it really delicious?” It opened its round eyes wide and looked at everyone eating with curiosity. Then it lowered its head and took a bite of the spiritual fruit in its hand. After that, it narrowed its eyes and thought that the spiritual fruit was much more delicious.

“Please eat more, Jing Hong...” The elders took care of Jing Hong. However, she could not eat more and wanted to vomit like an ordinary woman pregnant.

After eating a huge crab pincer, Jiu You’s face was full of crab roe. She looked enviously at Jing Hong, who was taken care of by everyone, and muttered, “I want to be pregnant...”

A knock on her head made everyone laugh. Jiu You pouted, and then deceived Little Bai into drinking. As a result, Little Bai got drunk. It was an artifact spirit. When it swayed, the whole Dream Hell Mountain shook. Everyone present was frightened. Fortunately, Chu Xun suppressed it and kept everyone safe.

Jiu You was seriously warned again. She pouted and sulked on the side.

As a chef, Chu Xun was powerless. The speed of his roasting couldn’t keep up with everyone’s eating speed. Finally, he roasted a four-meter-long prawn with the Violet Underworld Flame. After that, people stopped teasing him.

“Chu the Devil, I’m going to the south tomorrow,” Flaming Qilin said.

“Have a safe trip.”

Yan Wushuang had taken Yao Baiyue to the Dream Hell Mountain and stayed there for a few days. When he found that Chu Xun was not there, they left. He said that he would go on a honeymoon with Yao Baiyue. Hearing about it, Flaming Qilin was very envious. It was good to walk around with a beautiful girl.

It had been a long time since Mengdie came out, and she had to go back. Chu Xun was worried about her and planned to find an opportunity to send her back in the next few days, so he could not go with Flaming Qilin.

Everyone knew that Chu Xun would not stay for a long time, so they cherished the period of time very much. Chu Xun did not want to leave because the recent tenderness had made him lazy. However, the materials for Life Extension Elixir had not been gathered yet, so he had to keep on collecting them.

The next day, Flaming Qilin left with Su Wei’er easily. He said that he would come back when Jing Hong gave birth. He wanted to be the godfather of the child, and no one was allowed to compete with him. Before he left, Chu Xun gave him a lot of cultivation resources, which was enough for him to use for a long time.

On the third day, Chu Xun left without informing everyone because he hated parting with them. He sent Mengdie back to the Elf race. He did not meet with the Queen of Elves because Flaming Qilin had been with Su Wei’er. He did not want to take the blame for Flaming Qilin.

Mengdie didn’t want to part with them, but she was stubborn. She had to protect the Elf race. She knew the way to the Dream Hell Mountain. She would go there when she had time.

Chu Xun went to the capital city.

Dragon’s Back Mountain had never changed. It was Emperor Ao’s Purple Mansion. Chu Xun was a little envious when he came here for the first time. At that time, he was only in the stage of Qi Refinement, and now he was in the intermediate stage of the Nascent Soul. When he reached the Great Completion, he would establish his own Purple Mansion.

“You are willing to show up now.” Emperor Ao was not surprised to see Chu Xun. From the fact that he made tea for Chu Xun, he was happy.

Chu Xun told him about the trip to the sea, and Emperor Ao thought he had done a good job. Some forces in the sea region were accomplices of the Assembly of Immortals. He reminded Chu Xun that the sea was vast and more mysterious than land. Some forces had not appeared yet. Once they appeared, they would cause a sensation in the world.

“Accompany me to have a game of chess.”

Before Chu Xun agreed, Emperor Ao had already set up the chessboard.

When Chu Xun was in the alien land, he had also thought about it, but he hadn’t played it for a long time. However, he called himself the King of Chess and placed the pieces quickly, Emperor Ao didn’t notice that he stole his two chess pieces, but he still lost. In the end, he said that Emperor Ao stole his chess pieces and was almost beaten up.

“By the way, does the Dragon Clan in the sea have anything to do with you?” Chu Xun put down a chess piece and stole two black pieces from the other side.

“A little, but not much.”

“How much is not much?”

“We are both called dragons.”

Chu Xun rolled his eyes. The chess pieces he had just stolen almost fell out of his hand. How could it be called a little bit? It had nothing to do with him.

“I saw a girl in the Subterranean Devils Realm. She looked strange, having two dragon horns on her head, and claimed to be a Falling Elf. Does it have anything to do with you?”

Emperor Ao’s hand paused for a moment, and then he put down his chess piece quietly. “Bring her back if you have time.”

“Does she have anything to do with you?” Chu Xun’s eyes widened. For a moment, he forgot that he had stolen two black pieces, and he put one of them on the chessboard, blocking his way.

“You’ve lost.”

Chu Xun lowered his head and found that he had done something stupid. However, he could not expose that he had stolen chess pieces. He could only deny that Emperor Ao had moved his chess piece secretly.

Chu Xun finally won the game because there were fewer and fewer black pieces on the chessboard, and almost all of the pieces left on it were white.

“You are so boring.” Chu Xun put away the chess pieces and did not want to play anymore.

“It’s quite boring.”

“Let me find you a companion.”

“OK.”

Chu Xun didn’t expect Emperor Ao to agree, and Emperor Ao didn’t expect that Chu Xun would really do it. Of course, it was just a matter of time.

“You should be careful these days,” Emperor Ao reminded him.

Chu Xun didn’t take it seriously. Recently, the outside world was peaceful. The people of the alien races and the Assembly of Immortals were hiding somewhere he didn’t know. He almost couldn’t hear any news about them.

“A storm is coming.” Emperor Ao narrowed his eyes.

“I’ve thought about it too. The alien races and the Assembly of Immortals must be plotting something, but I don’t know what it is now. Why should I worry about it? As the saying goes, we’ll deal with whatever comes our way. I’ll deal with them at that time.”

“It’s not about the alien races or the Assembly of Immortals. The storm is enough to keep you busy for a while.”

Chu Xun was surprised. If it was not about the Assembly of Immortals and the alien races, what did he mean?

“I don’t know yet, but I can feel it.”

Chu Xun rolled his eyes and thought. The words were of no use. The elder was really bored. He only knew how to make him tense.

“I don’t want to talk more with you. I’m leaving.”

Emperor Ao did not persuade Chu Xun to stay but gave him a few long-winded warnings.

After leaving Dragon’s Back Mountain, Chu Xun’s face darkened. He had taken Emperor Ao’s words seriously, but he didn’t want to think about it too much. Actually, it was not necessary to think. He would pay attention to it. The storm would come sooner or later.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and shone on the ground. There were actually cicadas chirping on trees. It was rare to hear it in this chaotic era. An elder was writing rapidly under a tree.

“Not bad. How much is your calligraphy work?”

As soon as the voice sounded, several powerful auras suddenly appeared in the darkness around them. Zhong Ren, the Grand Advisor, also appeared. When he saw a figure standing in the air, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled respectfully. Then he waved his hand, and those powerful auras were suddenly restrained as if they had never appeared.

“If you want one, I’ll give you one.” The elder raised his head slightly and looked kind. His breathing was long, and his spirit was not bad.

“Yes.”

The elder was slightly stunned for a moment. Then he prepared ink with a black stick and a little water. He began to write seriously. It didn’t take long before seven large characters fluttered above the paper.

“How is it? Do you like it?” The elder put down his writing brush and asked with a smile.

“In me the tiger sniffs the rose.” Chu Xun smiled. He walked over and handed the brush to the old man. “You forgot to sign.”

The elder was startled. He received the brush and wrote down his name, saying with a smile, “Do you really want it?”

“Why not? When I go back, I will hang it on the wall. I can use it as a decoration. As you know, none of my ancestors was an official. They didn’t leave me any heirloom, either. I’ll keep it. When my descendants are down and out, they can use it to exchange for money,” Chu Xun said seriously. He rolled up the paper and put it away carefully.

The elder was a bit stunned, and then he laughed. “If you like it, I can write a few more for you.”

“Don’t do that. Too many are worthless. A thing is priced if it is rare”

“Your words make sense.” The elder got someone to take away the brush, ink, paper, and inkstick and replaced them with tea. “I heard you went to the sea region?”

“Yes, I’ll take you there next time. I had a lot of fun there. There were house-sized crabs, three- or four-meter-long prawns, sea snakes more than 30 meters long...” Under the curious eyes of the old man and others, he swallowed. “They are too delicious.”

The elder and Zhong Ren looked at each other and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“I have gifts for you.”

“Oh?” The elder was a little curious.

The gifts were a crab the same size as a house, a three-meter-long prawn, and a few fist-sized pearls. They made the elder and Zhong Ren stunned.

“Get someone to cook them. We’ll have them for lunch,” the elder said.

Ordinary people would be unable to move them. Two elders with the bearing of immortals appeared from the corner. Their auras were formidable, and they were actually experts at the later stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes. “Are they Golden Dragon Guards?”

“Yes, he was afraid that I would be in danger, so he sent them to protect me.”

“Nice to meet you, Chu the Devil.” The two elders bowed slightly but did not lower their waists. They were not disrespectful but somewhat arrogant.

Chu Xun nodded and said, “They are barely qualified to protect you.”

The elder was stunned and did not speak. Although these people were ordered to protect him, they did not belong to any official agency. He couldn’t order them to do anything. He did not care much about the attitude of the other party. Anyway, they were protecting him, and he didn’t want to say much for fear that there was too much estrangement between them.

The two elders of the Gold Dragon Guards frowned slightly and glanced at Chu Xun without saying anything.

“If he loses even a strand of his hair, you will die without a burial place,” Chu Xun said bluntly as if he was bullying them.

“I’ve heard that Chu the Devil’s combat strength is unparalleled, and I’ve never had the chance to meet you. Today, we are lucky to meet you. Can you give directions to us?”

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth lifted slightly. He raised his hand gently, and a violent Hong Meng Immortal Qi enveloped the two. The entire courtyard was imprisoned. Their strength of cultivation was suppressed. Their faces turned pale with horror. An invisible force seemed to tear their bodies into pieces.

A moment later, the two elders bowed respectfully to Chu Xun and took away crab and prawn in the yard. The elders were trembling slightly, and their backs were wet.

“Actually, you don’t have to do that.”

Chu Xun tapped his fingers regularly on the stone table and said, “A storm is coming, and some people must be warned to avoid making mistakes...”
