I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

She sighed softly and closed her eyes.

41. The shelf collapses

You can only try your best and leave it to fate.

Qiao Xiaoxian’s consciousness has been connected to the Mingzhou Ding.

Emperor Jing sat there with his eyes narrowed, watching indifferently as the throats of the eunuchs in rows were slit.

The warm blood was quickly frozen by the chill of midwinter, and the knife-like cold wind blew the smell of blood all over the palace.

Emperor Jing liked this New Year's gift. He tortured the so-called number one killer to death bit by bit and admired the other party's struggle in fear, which made him feel full of a sense of accomplishment.

"No! You have to eat it while it's hot!" A cry of anxiety and enthusiasm suddenly came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty must eat it while it's hot!"

The warmth in those words seemed to dispel the freezing cold.

Emperor Jing's brows were twitching as he stared at the guy outside the wall who had no brains and was completely unaware of the atmosphere here.

"Let him in. I want to see the Master Tiandeng and see if there is anything important I want to discuss with you."

Emperor Jing emphasized the three words "Master Chef" and his tone seemed to be blaming Tian Deng for his audacious behavior.

Unfortunately, Tiandeng was really a bit stupid and didn't understand what Emperor Jing meant at all. Instead, he happily ran to him with a food box in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this box contains the best dish in the world. Even God is coveting it!"

"Oh?" Emperor Jing sneered. He certainly didn't believe that a dish could be that good. As for the sky lantern's stupid behavior of disturbing his interest, he had already thought of hundreds of tortures in his head to give the sky lantern a surprise.

"Please try it while it's hot," Tiandeng opened the food box and looked at Emperor Jing eagerly.

As the chief chef of the Imperial Food Bureau, Tian Deng was very familiar with the emperor's dining process.

At this time, the food box was already prepared with gold and silver tableware and a poison detector, and the dishes were a braised fish and half a portion of smashed cucumber.

For the emperor's daily meals, the two dishes in this lunch box were so simple that they were almost insulting.

Emperor Jing was furious and raised his hand to ask the black-armored guards to kill Tian Deng, but when his hand was halfway raised, a wisp of hot steam from the food box floated to his nose.

Emperor Jing took a sniff and then shuddered violently.

His hand somehow grasped the chopsticks, and when he came to his senses, he was suddenly horrified.

The emperor's will, who had seen a lot and had killed countless people over the years, had unknowingly been tricked by braised fish and smashed cucumbers? !

I can't control my hands at all!

"Forget it," Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel a little curious. He reluctantly stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a small piece of fish. "Since you are so enthusiastic, I won't let you down. I'll give it a try..."

Try the fish, but I would never touch such cheap food as smashed cucumber.

There was three parts of disdain, three parts of contempt, and four parts of reluctance in Emperor Jing's eyes. Then he raised his hand proudly and elegantly and put the piece of fish into his mouth.

Chewed.

Chewed.

He said nothing, frowned, and picked up the second piece of fish with his chopsticks.

Close your eyes and chew, chew.

The scene is very strange.

Not far from Emperor Jing's feet were the cold and stiff bodies of the eunuchs.

The courtyard was still filled with the smell of blood, but mixed with this smell was a hint of the aroma of braised fish sauce.

No matter who it is, it is difficult to enjoy the food with relish in such a scene, but Emperor Jing seemed to have forgotten what had just happened here.

He placed the food box on his lap without any image, lowered his head, and ate with chopsticks one by one.

No one dared to speak. The black-armored soldiers could only look at each other in confusion, while drooling at the aroma of the sauce in the air.

Emperor Jing's movements of picking up meat became faster and faster, and the chopsticks gradually left an afterimage, creating a gust of wind in the palace.

He still had that arrogant and disdainful expression on his face, and his eating movements were extremely elegant, but his speed was incredibly fast.

Soon he had eaten the entire braised fish until only the skeleton was left.

He frowned, and relying on his quick thinking and strong decision-making ability cultivated through years of marching and fighting, he made a prompt decision - to eat the fish bones with the soup.

However, when he put the fish bone in his mouth and chewed it carefully, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, as if the door to a new world had opened in front of him!

It turns out that the essence of this whole braised fish is hidden in the fish bones! The fish bones have long been broken by some strange energy, and the originally hard and prickly structure has become crispy, tender, mellow and delicious!

If he had followed conventional thinking and eaten the fish and discarded the bones, he would probably have missed this last step of wonderful enjoyment... But at this moment, slowly chewing the fish bones, his heart was filled with a strong sense of surprise and accomplishment!

Is His Majesty crazy?

The black-armored imperial guards stared blankly at the unpresentable way that Emperor Jing ate. He did not even let go of the tiniest fish bone in the soup, and their hearts were filled with frenzy and confusion.

What kind of dish could make the most powerful emperor who has tasted all the delicacies in the world lose all his dignity and refuse to let go of even a fishbone in public?

After witnessing the emperor's ugly behavior, I wonder if people like me will be silenced?

It took a while to chew the fish bones, and the sauce at the bottom of the plate had already cooled down.

Emperor Jing stared at the sauce in the plate and struggled for a long time, his empty eyes full of loss and reluctance.

Suddenly, his face became ferocious and he picked up the plate fiercely!

"Gudong Gudong~"

After finishing the entire plate of sauce in one gulp, Emperor Jing stuck out his tongue and began to lick the bottom of the plate under the horrified gaze of the black-armored imperial guards. He licked the entire plate until it was shiny and bright, as if it were new.

Finally, two lines of crystal light slid down from the corners of his eyes.

He murmured.

"Is this gone?"

He glanced at the plate of smashed cucumbers in the food box, and his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking.

No, this kind of cheap food...

I just swore not to touch this kind of garbage.

You have no joke!

Emperor Jing closed the lid of the food box with a bang, his eyes determined.

——It’s okay. Smashed cucumber is a cold dish anyway, so it’s not a problem if it gets cold. You can have it as a midnight snack in the study room at night and no one will see you.

He coughed dryly, raised his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly.

"My dear Tiandeng, I know your cooking skills are still far from this level," Emperor Jing suddenly looked at Tiandeng with a smile on his face, "Then where do these dishes come from?"

“It’s a shame to say that this dish was made by a young master,” Tian Deng lowered his head.

Emperor Jing's heart suddenly tightened: "Then, my dear, can you still find that master?"

"I don't know either," Tian Deng shook his head in shame, "I don't know her name..."

"No need to look for her," Qiao Xiaoxian suddenly smiled brightly, "I know who she is."

Emperor Jing's expression changed, and a vast murderous intent suddenly burst out, pressing down on Qiao Xiaoxian like a roof over his head.

But Qiao Xiaoxian was not afraid at all, the murderous aura in him was no weaker than that of Emperor Jing, and he was even more powerful than him!

"That's my wife," Qiao Xiaoxian said softly.

42. Wanted

Emperor Jing was stunned, but then he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, his laughter was full of mockery and pride.

"Lan Ying, the number one assassin, has actually fallen to the point of selling out his wife to save his life," Emperor Jing looked at Qiao Xiaoxian jokingly, "I can't believe that the so-called number one assassin has such a despicable and ridiculous character."

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xiaoxian raised her eyebrows and looked at Emperor Jing in surprise: "You are too dramatic. Who said I want to betray her?"

"Oh?" The cold murderous intent in Emperor Jing's eyes became stronger. "Then what do you want to express by standing up?"

Qiao Xiaoxian pursed her lips slightly, with only pure gentle doting on her face. Then she said proudly: "My wife is the most beautiful in the world, she cooks the best food in the world, and she has the most beautiful voice in the world. I am not standing up to ask a fool like you to hire her as a cook. I just think she is so cute, and you should all be jealous of her."

"..."

Emperor Jing was so angry that his liver ached.

"Are you ready to die?" Emperor Jing sneered and raised his hand. The imperial guards pointed their weapons at Qiao Xiaoxian, and then...

"hiss--"

All the black-armored imperial guards present suddenly fell to the ground one after another, hugging their legs and wailing.

"I'm sorry, my wife is still at home warming the bed, so I won't play with you this time," Qiao Xiaoxian waved his hand contemptuously, "While you were enjoying the taste of the dish, I had already used the smell of fish to poison you and your imperial guards... I can only die when I want to. You are not worthy of taking my life as a mere emperor."

"I am not worthy?" Emperor Jing's face turned pale. He tried to stand up with a ferocious look, but found that his legs were completely out of control and he had completely lost all feeling below the waist!

Holding a dagger, Qiao Xiaoxian walked slowly towards Emperor Jing step by step.

"That taste is irresistible, isn't it?" Qiao Xiaoxian walked up to Emperor Jing with a smile, "Your life is worth it to be able to taste her cooking before you die. That moment of enjoyment is better than all the achievements you have made in this life. Even if you go to hell, you will never forget it."

Qiao Xiaoxian suddenly waved her hand and stabbed Emperor Jing's heart with a dagger!

"Ding--"

Sparks flew everywhere, and the sudden flying sword came with great force, knocking away Qiao Xiaoxian's dagger.

"It seems that there are still some fish that have escaped the net hiding in other halls. You are lucky and can live a few more days," Qiao Xiaoxian curled her lips.

Her figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint voice that echoed in Emperor Jing's ears like a nightmare.

"...Anyway, with your spoiled nature, you will be living a life worse than death in the days ahead, even if I don't have to kill you."

Emperor Jing had everything he wanted in his life. He could get whatever he wanted, and no one dared to let him down.

How could such a spoiled and domineering person tolerate bad things after having tasted good things once?

The more he couldn't get something, the more he wanted it, and the more he thought about it day and night, the more miserable he became. Just like his three previous cross-sea expeditions to the East, he could not tolerate his status as the overlord of the world being challenged.

He always believed that all the good things in the world should be collected and stored in his palace.

Therefore, once an exception occurs, he will be greatly stimulated.

"Your Highness," another group of black-armored imperial guards hurried over and knelt before Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing waved his hands, and it seemed as if there was a lot of bad air in his chest that he couldn't get out.

Lan Ying, what an arrogant Lan Ying.

As an emperor, when had he ever been wronged like this? He was actually attacked by the enemy who broke into the palace and pointed at his nose and humiliated him in person!

"The whole country is looking for the killer Lan Ying, and his wife... the cook! A reward of tens of millions of magic crystals is offered for both!"

"Your Highness, the treasury is in a tight spot..."

"Shut up! Whatever I say is what it is! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll chop you down!"

Emperor Jing knew that he was a little hysterical at the moment and had no manners like a king, but he couldn't help himself.

Lan Ying, I will make you regret it!

*******

Jiang Ke'er didn't know that she had become a wanted criminal in the entire Dasi Kingdom, and it didn't matter if she knew...

The black market bounty for the name "Jiang Ke'er" has almost soared to 500 million, and even the bounty for the name "Qingyi" is several hundred thousand magic crystals.

But with the disguise technique and Venerable Si Lian by her side, she was not panicked at all.

Although her disguise skills are not as good as Qiao Xiaoxian's ability to conceal her true appearance, she can still hide her original appearance with a little makeup. She had changed her appearance before participating in the Food Festival Cooking Competition... Otherwise, with her identity Qingyi, she would have caused a commotion soon.

Qingyi, the best monk of the year, is now known to everyone.

While fleeing to the streets of Xindu City, Qiao Xiaoxian was somewhat surprised to find that the Dasi Kingdom's military operations were incredibly efficient, and now the streets were filled with bounties for "Blue Shadow" and "Blue Shadow's Wife".

Lan Ying's appearance is unknown, so there is no portrait of him, but a portrait of Lan Ying's wife is attached.

"Lan Ying's wife is so ugly," Jiang Ke'er curled her lips as she looked at the portrait in the crowd. "It's fine that the emperor is looking for the killer Lan Ying, but why is he also looking for his wife? Who is his wife? Did she do anything bad?"

Si Lian did not answer, but just stared blankly at the clumsy sketch on the wanted poster, then looked at Jiang Keer's face.
