Chapter 283: Qin Hao Comes Knocking

Early the next morning, in the royal kitchen of the Underworld Kings Mansion.

Qin Xuan took the bowl of premium spirit rice porridge served by Qing Ning and tasted it carefully.

This type of spirit rice was irrigated year-round with the Origin Qi of top-grade Origin Stones and grown in places rich in Origin Qi; its yield was extremely scarce.

It contained exceptionally abundant Origin Qi and was a premium food that only the Mingyue Dynasty royal family and their kin could consume.

Even those Aristocratic Families, despite having the capability, dared not enjoy this privilege exclusive to the royal family within the Imperial City.

"The taste is excellent. Another bowl,"

Luo Xinyi handed her bowl to Qing Ning, urging her impatiently.

Just as Qing Ning was about to stand up, Su Youyu pressed her back down. "If you want to eat, can't you go serve it yourself? Do you have no hands or feet?"

"You only know how to bully Qing Ning. If you have the guts, give me your bowl, and see if I don't smash your dog bowl!"

Su Youyu glared fiercely at Luo Xinyi.

Whoever dared to hand over a bowl right now, she would dare to smash it in public!

Wu Bingqing pushed her bowl in front of Su Youyu. "Serve it."

Su Youyu nervously twisted the hem of her skirt, then immediately put on a fawning smile. "Third Sister, just wait, I'll serve you right away."

She took Wu Bingqing's bowl, filled it to the brim, and even turned back to ask Wu Bingqing considerately, "Third Sister, is this enough? If not, I'll get you a bigger bowl."

"Enough."

Wu Bingqing took the small bowl, continued to pick at her side dishes, and drank the porridge, while the corner of her eye kept glancing at Qin Xuan in the main seat.

This peace was only broken when Empress Zhou Wu, inhabiting the body of Shangguan Ying, arrived.

"What are you all doing?"

"This premium Immortal Rice is specifically supplied for His Highness the Underworld Prince to replenish his Origin Qi after Cultivation. There is only one bag in the entire Underworld Kings Mansion. How much have you all eaten?"

"Where is His Highness the Underworld Prince? This is his specially supplied Immortal Rice; he hasn't even eaten any himself?"

Luo Xinyi looked at the crystal-clear, plump grains of porridge in her bowl and swallowed her saliva.

"If spirit rice is irrigated and cultivated with top-grade Origin Stones, then isn't Immortal Rice irrigated and cultivated with Immortal Stones?"

"Are they crazy? Is the Mingyue Dynasty this extravagant?"

"No way, I have to eat two more bowls. I might not get another chance in this lifetime."

"I also have to pack a few bowls to take back for Qing Xue, so she doesn't say I didn't think of her when there's something good."

Hearing what Empress Zhou Wu said, Su Youyu and the others not only didn't feel awkward, but their appetites actually increased.

That was Immortal Rice!

This was more than just a special royal supply; even among the Aristocratic Families in Mingyue Imperial City, disregarding privileges, how many were wealthy enough to use Immortal Stones to Cultivate grain?

Even in the Butian Holy Land, Immortal Stones were strategic resources used for setting up Formations and supplying Saint King Realm Cultivation!

Empress Zhou Wu gnashed her teeth in anger, looked at Qin Xuan, and demanded, "Young Master Qin, aren't you going to do something about this?"

She had ordered the cultivation of this batch of Immortal Rice. It was specifically supplied to Zhou Chen to replenish his Origin Qi and nourish his body.

Not to mention a bowl, even a single grain was extremely precious.

Yet, such precious Immortal Rice was being wastefully devoured by women like Luo Xinyi and Su Youyu without a care.

How could she not be anxious?

"Don't be anxious. Sit down and eat your fill first," Qin Xuan beckoned to Empress Zhou Wu and said comfortingly. "Everyone here is one of our own. Even if we eat it all, as long as we don't leak a single word, even if Empress Mingyue grew three heads and six arms, she wouldn't know we embezzled Zhou Chen's Immortal Rice."

Empress Zhou Wu stomped her feet in anger. "Young Master Qin, you are the Master of His Highness the Underworld Prince. How can you embezzle your Disciple's Cultivation resources?"

Qin Xuan glanced at Empress Zhou Wu sideways and said playfully, "A Disciple showing filial piety to their Master, isn't that only natural?"

Last night, he had shivered on Empress Zhou Wu's body.

He had reaped a huge sum of 700,000 Villain Points, bringing his current balance to a staggering 1.3 million points!

He only needed to provoke more emotional changes in Empress Zhou Wu and gain another 700,000 Villain Points.

That would be enough to bring the Phoenix Treasure Technique to Perfection.

Perhaps, he could even take this opportunity to squeeze enough Villain Points out of Empress Zhou Wu to consume 3 million points and bring the Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture to its Peak!

With such a big, fat sheep right in front of him, he had to keep shearing the wool.

How could he do justice to Empress Zhou Wu's 'considerate' gesture of using Shangguan Ying's identity to get close to him?

Su Youyu glanced at the angry-looking Shangguan Ying and said irritably, "It's not your Immortal Rice, why are you so anxious?"

"Those who know you will think you are Shangguan Ying; those who don't might think you are the eldest sister, the Empress of the Mingyue Dynasty!"

Empress Zhou Wu opened her mouth and retorted, "I am just indignant at your behavior of lining your own pockets!"

Luo Xinyi curled her lips and said, "Us lining our pockets? At most, we're just filling our stomachs. Unlike some people, who clearly took a huge advantage and had their own pockets filled, but are now endlessly cleaning their bodies in the room."

"Taking advantage and still acting innocent—that describes some people perfectly!"

Empress Zhou Wu's aura began to fluctuate.

The moment this was mentioned, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

The humiliation of last night made her want to kill everyone present!

A terrible disgrace!

Qin Xuan said it well—he would never cross the line, yet he spread filth all over her body.

That kind of desecration penetrated to the Soul.

Even after washing dozens or hundreds of times, she still felt she hadn't cleaned it off.

Especially now, it felt as if that scorching filth was still flowing over her body.

【Daughter of Luck...】

As the System began to emit a mechanical sound in response to Empress Zhou Wu's intense emotional changes, a servant from the Underworld Kings Mansion rushed in from outside to report, "Master Qin, something happened! His Highness the Underworld Prince has been beaten and injured!"

Whoosh—

At this moment, Empress Zhou Wu's mind went blank, and she dashed out like a stream of light.

Qin Xuan and the others followed closely behind.

Only Su Youyu and Luo Xinyi, after licking the Immortal Rice in their bowls until not a single grain remained, slowly followed.

Outside the Underworld Kings Mansion,

Zhou Chen, lying in a pool of blood, struggled to stand up once again. Having cultivated the Mountain-Shaking Fist to Perfection, he punched out, invoking the power of the mountains; it was enough to split mountains and break rivers, and the fist wind howled as it raged outward.

Qin Hao sneered and raised his hand indifferently.

Bang!

Zhou Chen flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Little... Your Highness the Underworld Prince!"

Empress Zhou Wu caught the flying Zhou Chen, looked at Qin Hao, who had attacked, with an angry expression, and coldly snorted through gritted teeth, "Qin Hao, you have some nerve! The Qin Princes Mansion has already been removed from the Ziyang Empire, and you, a stray dog, actually dare to come to my Mingyue Dynasty and act so presumptuously!?"

Supported by Empress Zhou Wu, Zhou Chen stumbled and steadied himself. He gritted his teeth, looked at Qin Hao with a furious face, and roared, "You must apologize to Master Qin! Master Qin is not trash, and he has not committed treason! Everything is a result of you greedy people bringing it upon yourselves!"

It was only when Qin Xuan and his group arrived that Luo Xianxian appeared not far from Qin Hao and spoke up to stop him, "Qin Hao, remember your status and the instructions of my Celestial God Clan. This trip is not for you to provoke the Mingyue Dynasty royal family. You must apologize to His Highness the Underworld Prince!"

"Apologize?" Qin Hao sneered dismissively. "Why should I apologize to a piece of trash?"

"His Master is trash who only knows how to rely on a quasi-emperor artifact to show off. The Disciple he taught dares to challenge me with bare hands. That I didn't slap him to death is already giving the Mingyue Dynasty royal family enough face!"
