1388 Madam Brulee Is a b.u.t.terfly Vine
“Then when did Prime Emperor Jiuxiao challenge Madam Brulee?” Yu Huang asked in detail.
Ekel said bluntly, “The fifth match.”
“How did Madam Brulee perform when she accepted the challenge compet.i.tion of the first four students?”
After Ekel thought about it, he said uncertainly, “She seemed to be out of it that day. From the first challenge compet.i.tion onwards, her spiritual energy was very chaotic and she was a little irritable.”
!!
“In the third battle, she was even stabbed in the shoulder by a student who was only a Grand Master. In the last battle, the spiritual energy in her body leaked out. Us old fellows were all witnesses to this back then. At that time, we all thought that she would definitely lose. Zhan Jiuxiao saw that her condition wasn’t right and stopped attacking. He also asked Dongfang Brulee if she wanted to temporarily stop the compet.i.tion.”
“Oh really?” Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and asked, “Professor Ekel, do you still remember what Prime Emperor Jiuxiao said to Madam Brulee when he realized that her condition wasn’t right?”
“How could I remember that?” It had been a thousand years already, so Professor Ekel really couldn’t remember clearly. But he was still trying his best to remember.
Seeing that Professor Ekel was recalling, the three people in the room didn’t dare to make a sound.
After a long while, Professor Ekel said, “Zhan Jiuxiao seems to have said that…” Professor Ekel lowered his eyes and stared into Yu Huang’s eyes as he said hesitantly, “Brulee, your spiritual power seems to be leaking. Did something happen to your body? I think you seem to be in great pain. Why don’t you give up this battle? Now that you’re not feeling well, if I continue to attack, even if I win, I’ll be taking advantage of you. ”
With that, Professor Ekel pursed his lips and nodded. “I think that’s what he said. I don’t think I remembered wrongly.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang turned around and looked at Sheng Xiao and Ye Qingyang.
The three of them had different thoughts.
Zhan Jiuxiao sounded like he was advising Madam Brulee to give up the compet.i.tion for her health. However, Madam Brulee had always been stronger than Zhan Jiuxiao, so wouldn’t she be taking the initiative to admit defeat by giving up on the compet.i.tion?
As her boyfriend, if Zhan Jiuxiao was really thinking for Madam Brulee’s sake, he shouldn’t have said that. He should have said, “If you’re not feeling well, let’s forget about this compet.i.tion.”
They could fight in the future. This was what a gentleman should have said.
How could he try to convince her to give up?
Ye Qingyang suddenly asked again, “Then how did Madam Brulee answer Prime Emperor Jiuxiao?”
Professor Ekel shook his head and lamented, “That girl was very stubborn and she scolded Zhan Jiuxiao.”
“Oh really?” Ye Qingyang revealed a gossipy look as he asked expectantly, “What did she say?”
“It was nothing more than scolding Zhan Jiuxiao for being despicable and using underhanded methods to force her to admit defeat. That child is the same as her Mentor. She’s tough and stubborn. Zhan Jiuxiao kindly advised her to withdraw from the compet.i.tion, but she thought that Zhan Jiuxiao wanted to force her to admit defeat and even slandered Zhan Jiuxiao. She actually said that Zhan Jiuxiao secretly drugged her.”
“If everyone didn’t know Zhan Jiuxiao’s character, they probably would have believed her words. She and Zhan Jiuxiao have been in love for many years. She has always been above Zhan Jiuxiao on the big shot rankings. If Zhan Jiuxiao was really indignant, he would have taken revenge long ago. Why wait until the graduation battle to take revenge on her in front of all the teachers and students?”
“Zhan Jiuxiao isn’t a fool!”
Ekel didn’t seem to like Madam Brulee very much and he seemed to be slandering her.
What Madam Brulee said was the same as what Prime Emperor Yu Tian had revealed to Yin Rong. If there was no misunderstanding, Zhan Jiuxiao had really drugged Madam Brulee before the graduation battle.
“Professor Ekel, in your opinion, what kind of person is Prime Emperor Jiuxiao?” As a mentor who had interacted with Zhan Jiuxiao for ten years, Ekel’s evaluation of Zhan Jiuxiao was quite trustworthy.
Ekel thought about it carefully before saying, “When that child just entered the inner academy, he was already a celebrity. Although he was proud, he wasn’t conceited, and he cultivated extremely diligently. In the ten years he was in the inner academy, the thing he was most stubborn about was pursuing Dongfang Brulee.”
“You might not know Dongfang Brulee’s ident.i.ty, but she’s not a human or a member of the Divine Beast Clan. She’s actually a b.u.t.terfly vine born in a desolate place.”
“b.u.t.terfly vine?” Yu Huang had never heard of the existence of such a plant. “Can you tell me about this b.u.t.terfly vine in detail?”
Nodding his head, Ekel said, “Ten thousand years ago, when Prime Emperor Divine Miracle created the inner academy of Cang Lang, he actually discovered a strange vine tree in the desolate place. That vine tree floated in the desolate place, but wasn’t invaded by the chaotic spatial energy and secretly grew.”
“Before Prime Emperor Divine Miracle went to other worlds, he reminded the inner academy to take good care of that vine. Under the care of the Prime Emperor Taixu, that vine grew and even bloomed with b.u.t.terfly flowers. Finally, 1,500 years ago, that vine absorbed the energy of the world and transformed into human form, turning into a charming woman.”
“And that woman is Dongfang Brulee. But Dongfang Brulee doesn’t feel love or empathy. She’s just a powerful young lady who was taught by Prime Emperor Taixu to be very obedient. After Zhan Jiuxiao entered the inner academy, he accidentally b.u.mped into Dongfang Brulee in the training area.”
“He was young. When he saw that Dongfang Brulee was good-looking, he fell for her. However, no matter how much he pursued her, Dongfang Brulee was indifferent to him. Later, Zhan Jiuxiao found out that the reason Dongfang Brulee was so cold to him was that she couldn’t empathize with people, so he did something that no one dared to imagine…”
It was unknown what Zhan Jiuxiao had done, but Professor Ekel kept shaking his head when he mentioned it.
Yu Huang asked, “What did he do?”
Ekel sat back on his chair and lamented, “In order to make Dongfang Brulee a real person with the ability to love people, he actually dug out his heart and transplanted it to Dongfang Brulee after breaking through to the Prime Master Realm!”
After a Beast Tamer broke through to the Prime Master Realm, they could survive without their heart and rely on the spiritual power provided by their beast heart to survive.
But without a heart, a person’s body would eventually deteriorate.
No one expected Zhan Jiuxiao to love Dongfang Brulee to such an extent.
Ekel cursed angrily, “Idiot! There’s no one as stupid as him in this world! If he hadn’t dug out his heart, how could he have been injured in the Demon Subduing War a thousand years ago and been in a coma for a few years? He almost died!”
