I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1971 Master Wife?

Liu Jun looked embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Master, Master's wife, do you know where my master is?"

"That unfaithful man! He's probably dead!" The steward roared with her eyes wide open and her teeth gnashed. As soon as she finished speaking, the chopsticks in her hand turned into powder in an instant and scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Jun couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He felt panic in his heart and quickly lowered his head, hurriedly picking up the dishes and eating. He didn't dare to breathe. Even the hand holding the chopsticks was shaking, as if he was frightened by this sudden anger.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the palace became extremely oppressive, as if the air had frozen. Liu Jun felt that the delicious food had lost its fragrance and he could not arouse his appetite.

At this moment, a plate of steaming dumplings was quietly placed in front of Liu Jun.

Liu Jun blinked slightly, and looked up in surprise at the calm butler, who seemed to have lost her anger. Then, he carefully picked up a dumpling and slowly put it into his mouth.

"What's this smell!?" Liu Jun's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief. This smell was too familiar to him.

"Pork dumplings with some green peppers, your favorite." The butler said softly, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone.

"You, you are Grandma Wanqing?" Liu Jun suddenly turned his head and looked at the steward, his eyes full of surprise and expectation.

"Call me Master's wife, if you want to call me Grandma, I have to be a generation older than your Master." The steward responded with a smile, a hint of kindness in his eyes.

Grandma Wanqing, whose full name is Feng Wanqing, occupies a crucial position in Liu Jun's growth process.

Liu Jun had lived a very poor life in the past. He was not only financially strapped, but also a bit stupid. During festivals, he was lucky to have dumplings, but those dumplings were all frozen and not tasty at all. They were not even as good as instant noodles.

Later, a new neighbor moved in next door to his house. It was Grandma Feng Wanqing. On the first day of Grandma Feng Wanqing's arrival, she cleaned the house with the door open, and there was some garbage piled up at the door. When Liu Jun went downstairs, he helped to throw it away out of kindness.

From that day on, the old and the young knew each other. When Grandma Feng Wanqing encountered some work that she couldn't do, she would always ask Liu Jun to help, and when she made delicious food, she would definitely ask Liu Jun to taste it. Especially during festivals, Liu Jun would go directly to Grandma Feng Wanqing's house to improve the food.

However, Grandma Feng Wanqing likes to travel a lot, and she would be away for one or two months at a time. During this time, Liu Jun didn't have the pleasure of enjoying the delicious food made by his grandma.

Later, he didn't see Grandma Feng Wanqing for half a year. It was not until new neighbors moved in that Liu Jun learned that Grandma Feng Wanqing had a sudden illness and had passed away.

"Master's wife, how could you do that?" Liu Jun's face was full of confusion, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak. His complicated expression was a mixture of puzzlement and surprise.

"You mean, why would I pretend to be an old lady named Feng Wanqing and become your neighbor?" The steward seemed to immediately understand Liu Jun's inner doubts.

"I wasn't pretending. My real name is Feng Wanqing. The reason I became your neighbor was because I wanted to know what your master was going to do." The steward paused for a moment, his eyes softened. "Although I had other purposes, I was very happy during the time I met you, and I really treated you as my own child."

Liu Jun was convinced of this, because in his master's wife's affectionate eyes, he indeed saw the same kind and loving eyes of his former neighbor, Grandma Feng Wanqing. Those eyes were like the warm spring sun, warm and full of power.

“I know you have come to the God Realm. I am very surprised and happy. However, due to my physical condition, I cannot leave the Palace of the Gods, and therefore cannot go to find you.” The Master’s Wife continued, with a hint of helplessness and regret in her voice, and the slightly trembling tone seemed to tell of the inner desire and struggle.

"What's wrong with your body?" Liu Jun asked with concern, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.

"I was poisoned." The master's wife answered concisely, her voice calm and her expression indifferent, as if she was not the one poisoned.

Without hesitation, Liu Jun placed his fingers gently on the wrist of his master's wife's arm, which was placed on the table. His brows were furrowed, and he concentrated on feeling the pulse.

"This poison is so powerful!" A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Jun's eyes, and his pupils dilated unconsciously.

He could clearly feel that there was an extremely fierce poison raging in the master's wife's body, like an untamed beast. If it weren't for his master's wife's strong strength, relying on her own powerful spiritual power to forcibly suppress the poison, any other ordinary person would probably have died hundreds of times.

"Master's wife, I can try to detoxify you." Liu Jun slowly withdrew his hand and was silent for several seconds before he said with a firm face.

"It's useless. This is the poison of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yin Grass. If you want to cure it, you need the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass." The master's wife sighed helplessly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Yin Grass? Who is so cruel and merciless to poison you with such a decisive measure!" Liu Jun frowned tightly, his expression full of anger.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Yin Grass and Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass have always been the most outstanding spiritual herbs in this vast God Realm, and can be called great tonics. However, these two spiritual herbs have a great disadvantage, that is, if you want to take them, you must take both herbs together. If you only take any one of them alone, it will instantly turn into a highly toxic substance.

Once someone takes one of the herbs alone, the only way to save their life is to take the other one quickly before the poison spreads. Only in this way can the toxicity be effectively neutralized. Unfortunately, many people who take one of the herbs alone have no time to take the other one before the toxicity spreads, and eventually they die of the poison, ending up in a miserable state.

According to what Liu Jun knew, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass and Nine Heavens Mysterious Yin Grass had long been extinct, and there was no living Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass in the world. In other words, the poison in his master's wife's body had no cure.

“You don’t need to know who poisoned you.” Master’s wife once again said something shocking. “I just want to ask you if you are willing to take over the Palace of the Divine King.”

Liu Jun refused without hesitation, "I don't want to."

Upon hearing this, Master's Wife frowned and looked anxious, "Why? You should know that I have been poisoned and I don't have much time left."

Liu Jun looked determined and said sincerely, "Master's Wife, please give me some time. I will definitely try my best to detoxify you."

"No need to explain. If you still regard me as your master's wife, you will take over the Palace of the God King. While I am still alive, I can help you to secure your position." The master's wife said seriously.

If outsiders knew that of the two people in this palace, one was determined to give away the Palace of the God King, while the other was determined not to accept it, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

"Can you give me some time to think about it?" Liu Jun sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness and struggle, and said with a slightly trembling voice.

"Okay, three days." The Master's wife's voice was calm and firm, without the slightest hesitation, as if she had already determined that Liu Jun would take over the Palace of the God King.

Liu Jun was silent. He lowered his head and mechanically picked up the dishes on the table with chopsticks, but they tasted like chewing wax and were difficult to swallow. Every bite of food was like a heavy burden, pressing on his heart and making it difficult for him to breathe.

At this moment, his thoughts surged like a tide. One was that his master's wife was poisoned and didn't have much time left.

Second, this sudden burden made him feel unprecedented pressure.

Controlling the entire Divine King Palace is not an easy task. The entire Skyfire Divine King Domain will be based on the orders of the Divine King Palace. Every decision he makes may affect the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. This responsibility makes him feel extremely heavy and suffocated.

"After dinner, come with me to attend the ceremony." The master's wife said solemnly.

"Okay." Liu Jun could only agree reluctantly, with a hint of confusion and nervousness in his eyes.

After a long time, as if time had stopped, the heavy door of the palace was knocked gently, and the guard who had brought Liu Jun here before walked in slowly.

"Butler, it's time." The guard lowered his head and bowed respectfully, his voice low and respectful.

"Xiaobai, meet me, this is Liu Jun, my future successor." The steward stood up slowly and said with a firm look.

When the guard heard this, his body trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted. He looked up at Liu Jun in shock, his eyes full of disbelief and confusion. Then he quickly lowered his head and whispered, "I understand."

"Well, let's go." The steward walked out first without hesitation, his steps steady and powerful.

The guard called Xiaobai hurriedly took a few quick steps and pushed the palace doors open with both hands. The doors made a dull sound.

Outside the magnificent palace, dozens of palace maids and servants had been waiting there quietly for a long time. When the steward took a step forward, the group of people instantly became energetic and immediately followed closely.

This grand scene was exactly the same as the scene when the emperor or empress traveled in TV dramas, with a dense crowd of people surrounding them.

Liu Jun also keenly noticed that the guard named Xiaobai was definitely not an ordinary guard, because he stood firmly not far behind the chief steward, and his posture had a bit of the charm of a palace guard.

This time they went to the Skyfire Martial Arts Arena, but it didn't take them as long as Liu Jun did when he came. Instead, they went straight to a large-scale teleportation formation.

All they saw was a flash of dazzling light from the formation, and everyone was instantly successfully teleported to the Tianhuo Martial Arts Arena, and to the area near the main martial arts arena.

When Liu Jun appeared in the main martial arts arena again, he was already standing firmly in the most honorable and eye-catching position in the arena.

Here, it is no exaggeration to describe Liu Jun's current situation as being the center of attention. Especially when his master's wife, the chief steward of the Divine King Palace, showed up, the entire martial arts arena seemed to be ignited and instantly boiled over. Everyone stood up at the same time and looked over here.

The eyes of many powerful men looking at the steward were filled with extreme passion, but that was by no means an expression of love, but rather the kind of almost crazy enthusiasm that fans show when they see their idol.
