Chapter 2471 - 1115: Procession of Graceful Women
"Does this bamboo scroll of mine count?"
Ai Xuyue looked at a half-burned bamboo scroll, asking worriedly.
"Just go pick another from the furnace!"
San Miyairi thought Ai Xuyue was crazy; at a time like this, why even care about such things? Just get a backup, or even snatch one from someone else.
Don’t forget you are part of Lin Baici’s group; forget those amateurs, even Chestnut medal wouldn’t dare scold you.
"Oh, okay!"
Ai Xuyue quickly rushed to the furnace, ready to act.
Clap, clap, clap!
The King clapped.
Everyone immediately turned to look at him. The previously fearful expressions on their faces faded significantly when they saw the King smiling.
"Does this mean we’ve passed?"
"He’s smiling; does this mean he’s satisfied with the result?"
"Buddha bless us!"
People mumbled like criminals awaiting the Emperor’s pardon at the execution ground.
The furnace flames rose again, continuing to roast the charred body of the Marquis.
The stench of burning fat wafted through the air.
But nobody paid attention to the furnace anymore because they all followed Lin Baici’s instructions and obtained seven bamboo scrolls.
"Come, let’s drink!"
The King raised his goblet, taking a sip.
The concubine beside him remained kneeling, pouring his wine, shivering tremulously like a quail.
"Oh yeah, it’s over!"
Xia Hongyao joyously exclaimed, "Let’s go home and drink!"
"As expected of my Lord Lin!"
San Miyairi hugged Lin Baici’s arm, humming a tune.
"Did that kid guess it again?"
Chestnut medal sighed with relief, then was shocked by Lin Baici’s prowess; it was too strong.
"God Lin, well done!"
Wang Helin patted Lin Baici’s shoulder, comforted.
Our great land has produced another unparalleled Dragon Wing.
Wang Sen and Dudek, these Dragon Level figures, were both watching Lin Baici intently.
Such a person, either don’t provoke, or if provoked, must be killed, or the consequences would be dire.
Dudek had marked Lin Baici as an enemy due to fate’s divination, but Wang Sen honestly wanted to befriend Lin Baici.
"I wonder how God Lin views me?"
Wang Sen pondered, as the reputation of the Dark Erosion organization leaned somewhat negative.
"Withdraw!"
The Chief Eunuch shouted, and the strongmen kneeling afar immediately jogged over, lifting the bronze furnace with chants of "Heave-ho," leaving the hall.
Finally, they survived another trial!
Everyone completely relaxed.
"I wonder what the next one will be?"
Xia Hongyao muttered.
Among everyone present, only the high ponytail seemed carefree, still looking forward to encountering a marvelous rule pollution.
Only by purging such pollution and bragging about it afterward could they evoke astonishment.
"Lin..."
The King suddenly spoke; he clearly hesitated to say "God" because only he deserved to be called that.
"My King!"
Lin Baici stood up, very respectfully.
"No need for formalities, sit and talk!"
The King was amiable, "What do you think of the woman beside me?"
Lin Baici glanced at the concubine he had stripped of her clothes and sash, "A rare beauty in the world!"
"My King, it was an unavoidable circumstance earlier, please forgive me!"
Lin Baici quickly apologized.
"Haha, a beauty?"
The King teased, "The women by your side are even more beautiful than my concubine!"
"..."
Lin Baici didn’t dare randomly respond, to avoid triggering rule pollution.
"Fine, just like that, kill them!"
Chestnut medal was unhappy, so he wished the King’s wrath would target Lin Baici’s people, killing a few.
Only if Lin Baici and his party suffered would he feel satisfied.
Otherwise, he’d be terribly frustrated.
"What?"
The King looked down at Lin Baici, "You don’t agree?"
"Answer me!"
Finally, the King’s voice suddenly rose, displaying his capriciousness to the fullest.
"Everyone’s perspective is different!"
Lin Baici finally chose to speak frankly, "Even if my King’s concubine is a peerless beauty, to me, my friends are always the prettiest!"
"Insolent!"
The Chief Eunuch shouted.
"Haha!"
The King laughed, playfully tossing his goblet at Lin Baici, "You sly fox!"
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The bronze goblet hit beside Lin Baici, then rolled away.
Everyone dared not breathe heavily; they hunched and tried to scoot away, keeping a distance from Lin Baici.
"..."
Gu Qingqiu was puzzled by the King’s behavior.
Though the King threw his goblet at Lin Baici, it seemed more like he was joking with a close minister.
Yet Lin Baici didn’t do anything to amuse the King, did he?
"Oh my, Lord Lin is popular with both genders!"
San Miyairi exclaimed.
"Huh?"
Xia Hongyao was shocked, "That can’t be, right?"
"Why not?"
San Miyairi smirked, "In your history, there have been Emperors who liked men!"
Xia Hongyao glanced at Lin Baici, then at the King...
Oh dear!
That really looks like an appreciative gaze!
Disaster!
Little Linzi’s backside might not be safe!
"..."
Lin Baici overheard the girls’ murmurs, and couldn’t help but frown, yet the King’s growing fondness also raised his caution.
"Don’t worry; my status?"
The King haughtily chuckled, "I wouldn’t touch a woman another man has slept with!"
"Thank goodness, it’s not the Three Kingdoms era. Otherwise, encountering a big shot with the surname Cao, the most dangerous could be any woman who already has a husband!"
