Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2228: Chapter 254: Shouzhe Makes a Move! The Demon Lord Attacks

…

The meeting concluded.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Ruolan “enthusiastically” invited Immortal Emperor Muyun to stay for a meal, even affectionately holding her arm.

“Ruolan…” Wang Shouzhe felt something wasn’t quite right and tried to help by saying, “Your Majesty, since you’ve come as a projection this time, maybe you could skip the meal.”

“Young Master Shouzhe, you might not know.” The Immortal Emperor, unaware of the impending crisis, confidently replied, “Even though my immortal body projection is a collection of energy, it simulates my body exactly, allowing me to digest and replenish energy through eating. Rumor has it that Ruolan’s culinary skills are exceptional, only offered to the close ones. Today, I’m fortunate enough to have a taste.”

“Husband, have a good chat with Her Majesty Muyun. I’ll be right back.” Liu Ruolan floated into the small courtyard’s private kitchen.

This scene made Wang Shouzhe shiver as he softly asked, “Your Majesty, you’ve decided to stay for the meal?”

“Why not stay?” The Immortal Emperor chuckled, her eyebrows arching, “To taste Ruolan’s cooking, it’s my lucky day indeed.”

Wang Shouzhe twitched the corner of his mouth, as long as Your Majesty is pleased.

An hour later, under Wang Shouzhe’s subtly sympathetic gaze, the Immortal Emperor savored Liu Ruolan’s “carefully prepared” “delicacies.” To everyone’s surprise, the Immortal Emperor was all smiles, praising endlessly, “Ruolan’s culinary art is truly unique and imaginative, making me savor each bite.”

Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe attempted to “try” a bite but was stopped by Liu Ruolan, who mentioned it was specifically for Immortal Emperor Muyun and secretly gave him a wink.

After dinner, the Immortal Emperor departed contentedly.

Leaving Wang Shouzhe and his wife staring at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Shouzhe inwardly admired the Immortal Emperor’s tolerance and stomach, managing to endure Ruolan’s cooking without losing composure while maintaining grace.

“Husband, do you think Muyun has some issues?” Liu Ruolan still couldn’t comprehend, “I specially made the food taste bad to punish her for coveting you, yet she said it was delicious?”

Really?

Wang Shouzhe silently walked into the private kitchen, tasted the leftovers, came out, and gave Liu Ruolan a complicated look, half wanting to speak before finally sighing and returning to the room.

“Husband, why are you giving me that look? Could it be, you’re displeased with me for not keeping Muyun here to stay?” Liu Ruolan followed him inside.

“That’s not what I mean. I wanted to say if you could cook in that flavor style from now on?” Wang Shouzhe, secretly hopeful, finally expressed the truth.

“Oh, I knew it, you and Muyun have something going on; even your taste buds have changed.”

“…What’s your logic here?”

“Last time you secretly met with Muyun in the Immortal Palace, even playing games of young master and maid, don’t think I didn’t know. This time, you two were exchanging flirtatious looks privately; don’t act like I didn’t notice.”

“How did you know? No, I mean, there’s absolutely nothing between Her Majesty and me.”

“Little Kunfish confessed everything to me.”

“Wang Zongkun! That brat, he’s nothing but trouble… I’m going to teach him a lesson.”

“You did something wrong, don’t blame Little Kunfish. My Little Kunfish is great, filial, and knows how to make girls happy, so I won’t let you scold him.”

Then, not long after.

Thunderous sounds of confrontation came from the sky.

Streaks of Heavenly Dao Laws flashed and twisted in the sky, and the gigantic sound waves and frightening explosive force made one easily think it was a fight between two Transcendent Void Realm cultivators.

Yet the entire Wang family main residence was utterly quiet, as if accustomed to it, considering the clan leader and his wife’s fights an emotional quirk; in the midst of fighting, the couple would simultaneously disappear for a while.

Anyone who dared intervene would be unlucky instead.

Only the returning Longyan Old Ancestor looked up at the sky, frowning slightly and muttering, wondering how these two love a good fight after being married for over two hundred and some years.

Oh well, let it be, let it be. I can’t interfere even if I wanted to, Longyan Old Ancestor decided to turn a blind eye.

Days later.

Wang Shouzhe visited Long Yan Habitat to see the Old Ancestor, under Longyan Old Ancestor’s somewhat puzzled gaze, bringing her into the underground Netherworld Secret Hall.

Here, the Netherworld energy gathered like mist, with a pool of Netherworld True Water, in which grew a Netherworld Golden Lotus.

After decades of cultivation by Wang Shouzhe, this Netherworld Golden Lotus had fully matured, with even a faint trace of purple on the golden lotus flower, evidently on its way to transforming into a Netherworld Purple Gold Lotus.

“Shouzhe, this is!?”

Longyan Old Ancestor’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

“Old Ancestor, stay at home for a while; cultivating here will be beneficial for you.” Wang Shouzhe looked at the mature Netherworld Golden Lotus, saying, “As for this Netherworld Golden Lotus, once it transforms and evolves into a Netherworld Purple Gold Lotus, it will be highly advantageous for you.”

Back then, it was a Netherworld Purple Gold Lotus that attracted Young Master Ming Shura, which led to a series of incidents later. Clearly, the Netherworld Purple Gold Lotus would be immensely beneficial to Young Master Ming Shura and naturally quite helpful for Longyan Old Ancestor as well.

Longyan Old Ancestor’s bloodline was too high, and her cultivation had reached the Divine Power Territory. If it were merely a Netherworld Golden Lotus, its effect would be extremely limited. Better to wait patiently.
