Chapter 414: the Palace
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ling Ping’an watched Hu Nuonuo’s figure disappeared into the night. Then, he picked up his phone and walked back with his cat in his arms.
It was getting late. He had to go back and take a shower. Then, he would look at today’s data and confirm tomorrow’s update settings.
When he reached the door, a person blocked his way.
Ling Ping’an looked up at this person.
He was about the same age as him, but he was a little taller than him.
He seemed to be wearing makeup and a trendy hat.
It was Lu Qiu!
After waiting in the hall for almost two hours, Lu Qiu was filled with jealousy!
“What’s the matter?” Ling Ping’an didn’t quite understand.
“Nothing…” Lu Qiu’s face was dark, “I just want to ask, what’s your relationship with Doctor Hu?”
Ling Ping’an looked at him in confusion.
But in Lu Qiu’s eyes, Ling Ping’an’s current expression could be said to be extremely hateful.
His slightly raised lips were full of ridicule and his eyes under the lenses were filled with ridicule.
It was as if he was saying, “What does it have to do with you?!”
Thus, Lu Qiu was instantly ignited.
“Kid!” He said very seriously while trying his best to supress his anger, “This is the imperial city!”
He pointed at the marble floor beneath his feet, “It’s a place where people are superior!”
Ling Ping’an blinked. Superior? He shook his head.
This time, Lu Qiu was about to explode.
In Lu Qiu’s eyes, the person in front of him was simply unreasonable and impossible to communicate with.
“Kid!” He barely controlled his temper that was about to explode. He used his last bit of patience and said, “If you know what’s good for you, you will leave Doctor Hu’s side automatically!”
“Otherwise!”
“You will definitely regret it!”
This was the truth!
Hu Nuonuo was a colonel-level medical cultivator and was destined to become a future powerhouse who would step into the general level.
In the imperial capital, countless pairs of eyes were staring at this hibiscus fairy doctor.
Even without him, Lu Qiu, there would still be Zhang Qiu and Liu Qiu.
In short, no one would watch helplessly as the fairy in everyone’s eyes, the pillar of the future Federal Empire, lowered herself in front of an ordinary man like this. She even looked like she was willing to suffer and was extremely happy.
If that was the case, everyone would go crazy.
If they were crazy, they could do anything.
And they were not good men and women!
Therefore, from Lu Qiu’s point of view, he took the initiative to come over. He was truly benevolent and righteous.
Otherwise, if it was someone else, they would probably not say a word and would start arranging all sorts of combinations of punches.
White or black, there were countless ways. Any one of them could make such an ordinary man unable to see the sun the next morning!
Ling Ping’an felt that he had encountered a lunatic.
He shook his head and could not be bothered with this fellow anymore. He hugged his cat and walked straight to the elevator.
Wouldn’t it be a waste of saliva to talk to such a person?
Not to mention that there was nothing going on between him and Hu Nuonuo, even if there was something going on, it was not up to anyone else to tell him what to do.
As for who was the best, he regretted it…
Ling Ping’an felt that this fellow should go write a novel.
Lu Qiu was furious.
He took a deep breath and made his final threat, “Kid, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced!”
“Tomorrow, if I find out that you’re with Doctor Hu again…”
“Then you’re dead meat!”
Ling Ping’an shrugged, “Crazy!”
“Really crazy!”
He raised his head and looked at a moving camera above him.
Then, he laughed.
Ling Ping’an put the threat to the back of his mind.
He felt completely safe in the Federal Empire.
…
Zhang Hui looked at the surveillance screen.
The ancient G.o.d raised his head and smiled at the camera.
A golden color appeared in the eye under the lens, flowing slowly.
Although the golden color only flashed by, Zhang Hui’s intuition told him that the ancient G.o.d was telling him to leave it alone!
“As expected!” Zhang Hui looked at the ancient G.o.d on the screen who was walking toward the elevator.
“The human world is just an amus.e.m.e.nt park to him…”
What was the most important thing about an amus.e.m.e.nt park?
The experience!
So…
Zhang Hui sat down.
As long as he was happy!
…
Carrying his cat, Ling Ping’an walked straight into the elevator. Then, without looking at the slightly neurotic guy, he swiped his card and went straight up to the ninth floor.
Ling Ping’an had much experience with such people.
There was no need to bother them!
If you see them, stay away!
Because once you did, they would get excited. Once they got excited, this matter would be difficult to handle.
If you didn’t bother with him, he would be asking for trouble.
The elevator soon reached the ninth floor. Ling Ping’an took the room card and opened his room door.
Then, he put Bastet on the ground, went to the bathroom, turned on the tap and started to drain the water.
Today, he would take a good bath first!
While the tap was draining the water, Ling Ping’an went to the desk and turned on the computer on the desk. He entered the web page, entered the pa.s.sword, logged into the background, and looked at the data.
2931.
How should he describe this data?
It was not bad!
During the same period, it was probably the countdown.
However, for Ling Ping’an, this was already a very good result.
At this rate, it was very likely that he would be able to get 10,000 collectibles!
Thinking of the 10,000 collectibles, he smiled happily.
…
Lu Qiu angrily returned to his place.
He thought about it, but he couldn’t think straight.
So, he sat up, picked up his phone and entered the group chat, searching through the group one by one.
Then, he set up a new group chat and pulled all these people in.
Very quickly, there were more than twenty people in the group chat.
These people who were pulled in immediately typed out one by one?
Lu Qiu looked at it and immediately explained, “Everyone, I set up this group chat to exchange information during this sorority, Traffic News…”
After thinking for a moment, he continued typing, “Everyone, do you know that the hibiscus fairy doctor, Hu Nuonuo, already has someone in her heart! And it’s an extremely ordinary person!”
Instantly, the entire group exploded.
“Do you have proof?” Someone immediately asked.
Lu Qiu immediately replied, “Of course! Because I saw it with my own eyes!”
“And that kid is also very arrogant!”
“He thinks that under the protection of the Imperial City’s Blackguard and under Doctor Hu’s wings, I can’t do anything to him!”
Immediately, someone said in the group, “Hehe…”
Then, this person directly asked, “Lu Qiu, give me that person’s name, origin and room number!”
Lu Qiu looked at it and was instantly stunned.
Right, what was that person’s name? Where did he come from? Where did he live?
He seemed to know nothing about it.
Moreover…
Lu Qiu quickly realized that even his appearance seemed to be a little blurry.
He only remembered that he wore gla.s.ses, wore very cheap clothes and held a cat in his hands.
A cat?
Lu Qiu frowned.
“Why didn’t I notice the cat in his hands just now?”
Therefore, he did not even know the color of the cat.
At that moment, his cell phone rang, interrupting Lu Qiu’s thoughts.
Lu Qiu picked it up to take a look. It was a friend of his, Shang Juan, the son of a top transcendent being from the Nanzhou.
When he picked up the call, Shang Juan’s voice came from the other end, “Lu Qiu, what’s the background of that person?”
“Have you figured it out?”
Lu Qiu hurriedly replied, “Not yet!”
“However, he’s just an ordinary person. I’ve come into close contact with him before and there are no traces of psionic power!”
“An ordinary person?” Shang Juan laughed, “Would Doctor Hu take a fancy to an ordinary person?”
Lu Qiu said, “I didn’t believe it at first either!”
“But seeing is believing!”
“If you don’t believe it, ask Ao Buhai!”
“Ask the people of Yan Lou again, we all saw it!”
“You don’t know… Doctor Hu, in front of that kid… it’s simply… respectful, like serving the eldest young master!”
“Eldest young master?” Shang Juan’s voice paused slightly and then he asked, “Lu Qiu, is he really an ordinary person?”
“Have you tested him?”
“I heard that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this sorority…”
“The eldest princess even personally sent someone to fetch a young general back today…”
“In addition, there are rumors that the illegitimate son of the late Emperor will also appear in this sorority!”
“Don’t stumble!”
As a transcendent being of Nanzhou, the Shang family was able to stand firm for so many years. Other than strength, prudence and stability were also key factors.
“This…” Lu Qiu could not help but hesitate.
“I’ll come over tomorrow!” Shang Juan said over the phone, “Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know once we try!”
…
Alucard walked out from the crowded crowd.
He looked back and saw that it was still a crowded square.
He had to admit that this was indeed a very good place to exchange information with each other.
He had just been there and had successfully conducted an exchange of information with someone from the Viking United Kingdom.
The Vikings had given him the latest information on the Church of Bone.
His reward was a portion of Master X’s information.
Of course, the crucial parts had been hidden.
For example, that person was actually a terrifying ancient G.o.d with a high status.
For example, that person could buy taboos that couldn’t even be recorded in runes.
For example, that person could distort s.p.a.ce at will…
It was only said that that Master X came from Jiang City (this was now an open secret, the intelligence agencies of various countries already had it, and Alucard was only confirming it again), and that this Master X was very important to the Blackguard, this sorority was held for him.
The rest was gone.
It was very simple information, but the Vikings still felt like they had obtained a treasure.
Alucard knew the reason.
Asgard’s Asga was the reason why the G.o.ds of Greece and the G.o.ds of Olympus had a deep relationship with mortals.
Asga, in legends, had the fountain of wisdom and the three G.o.ddesses of Fate, who guarded the fountain and could see the future.
In the mythical grade, it was these three G.o.ddesses who foretold the twilight of the G.o.ds.
Now, although the recovery of the spirit aura was far from enough to awaken the three G.o.ddesses of Fate, the G.o.d of Mischief had always been famous for his resourcefulness.
Therefore, he must have thought of a way to take advantage of a ritual and ask the sleeping G.o.ddesses of Fate about the future of the world.
As long as the Asgardians were willing to pay the price, then there was nothing they couldn’t do.
At least, that was the case in the northern Land of Qin.
So…
“It seems that even Odin… might need that person…” Alucard thought.
He vaguely had a premonition.
Loki had sent people to investigate that person.
It was probably directly related to the fate of the world.
“I have to act too!” Alucard said.
There was not much time left.
Today was the 10th, the 14th was the opening of the sorority and the 18th was the closing.
In total, it was at most eight days.
In these eight days, he had to find an opportunity to take advantage of that happy opportunity to come to him decisively and offer his sincerity and respect from Butania.
Not to mention getting his approval.
At the very least, he had to let him know that Butania respected him.
This was crucial!
…
Ling Ping’an unb.u.t.toned his clothes and soaked in the bathtub.
“Comfortable!” He leaned against the wall of the bathtub in satisfaction.
Countless steam confused his vision and washed away his fatigue.
So, he slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
And at the moment he closed his eyes, countless light b.a.l.l.s suddenly appeared in this guest room.
The silver key appeared.
The kitten, Bastet immediately laid down but the silver key did not care about it because time was pressing.
This place needed to be modified!
Otherwise, once the master fell asleep, he would run out of a thought in his sleep. If this thought was not careful, it could summon ghroth.
If that was the case, it would be a failure of his duties as a butler.
Therefore, it had to be reinforced!
The ball of light quickly filled the entire room.
Countless tentacles stretched out from the ball of light.
Terrifying whispers echoed in the unknown s.p.a.ce.
Ancient words appeared between the walls, blankets, sofas and mattresses.
Vaguely, the bedroom far away in Jiangcheng City and this room overlapped in a certain s.p.a.ce-time.
It was as if a wormhole had appeared between the two.
From a certain point of view, this place and this room would become a temporary palace. Of course, it was temporary.
After some consideration, the silver key’s tentacles stood up.
They pierced into the void and stirred incessantly.
Amidst the turbulence and shattering of s.p.a.ce, psionic power ripples formed.
The silver key collected these ripples and poured them into the bedroom in river city.
Then, like a photocopier, it began to copy.
One, two, three, four, five…
Thus, that bedroom had countless copies.
Only then did the silver key retract its tentacle with relief.
As a butler, it had to think of everything before its master.
Just like now…
What if his master had to go on a long trip in the future?
He couldn’t make another palace at that time?
That would be too wasteful and might be exposed.
He might as well do it all at once!
As if thinking for a moment, the light ball in the silver key’s body slowly gathered together.
He felt the rhythm coming from outside of time and s.p.a.ce.
The ripples coming from the future timeline.
He understood.
This would be a palace!
A real palace because the master liked it!
So…
The silver key knew that he had to keep working!
