Chapter 775.2 – Conqueror’s City, Good News
Only Yue Yang was able to leisurely appreciate the sights while walking around Conqueror’s City. Empress Fei Wen Li was to others an extremely stern and serious existence but to Yue Yang she was just a sexy empress sis, not to say her statue, he had even hugged and kissed her real body before. Almost every time he went into that black hole he would be sucked dry by her. He had none of the respect others felt for Empress Fei Wen Li. In comparison, the Sword Spirit Goddess was the real bane of Yue Yang’s existence.
It was only now that Lord Ling Yun actually realized the magnitude that differentiated between himself and Yue Yang.
In Conqueror’s City, Lord Ling Yun was trembling with fear and caution, fearing that he had inadvertently done something wrong and would piss off some random person.
How could he mimic Yue Yang’s carefree attitude?… If he didn’t have enough strength, how could he dare to act so leisurely? This was Conqueror’s City, where even the Great Leaders of Heaven Realm had to fly low in respect. Neither magic beast, war beast nor any Heaven Ranker had ever dared to fly over the head of the giant 1,000-meter tall statue of Empress Fei Wen Li—NEVER!
There aren’t many options here.
There were only a few taverns in the entire city, and all of them are very, very small.
Yue Yang took the lead and casually walked into the nearest tavern, completely unconcerned by the inquiring stares of a room full of drunken men and walked straight over to the formally dressed bartender. He reached out his hand and rang the bell there, snapping his fingers in a dashing manner before announcing: “This round is on me!”
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire tavern which had originally been rowdy and loud, suddenly quieted down to a horrible hush.
Lord Ling Yun could only feel this back grow cold with sweat.
For the first time, Lord Ling Yun felt as if mere gazes were as sharp as blades. It was as if those people’s gazes, all of which were like sharp knives, could easily pierce through his body, stabbing straight into his soul.
Tu Hai was still okay, but Tudor the poor wretch was already shaking with fear.
The atmosphere inside was much more terrifying than the day when Rizhao City had been besieged by nearly a hundred Dark Realm Heaven Rankers.
At least, among those Dark Realm Fallen Heaven Rankers, there weren’t as many Heaven Rank, Level 5 and above old guys as in this tavern. Inside this unassuming tavern, there were at least thirty or so old men who had Heaven Rank, Level 5 strength or above. Regardless of whether they were physically disabled or not, as long as they were old men with a head and beard full of white hair, all of them were comparable to Lord Ling Yun in strength, and some were even far ahead of Lord Ling Yun in this aspect.
There were even several old fogeys who were Heaven Rank, Level 6.
None of the drunkards inside the entire tavern were below Heaven Rank, Level 3 in strength.
“Kid, not just anyone can buy a drink in our area.” A middle-aged drunken man suddenly stood up and grunted coldly.
“Fine, if you don’t want to, then don’t drink. You should feel fortunate that I wanted to treat you. I originally wanted to give you guys some face but you, this bunch of drunkards, didn’t know how to appreciate it. It’s not everyday that I simply treat people.” Yue Yang was really pissed. Aiya, this bunch of old drunkards were still so troublesome? Were they growing senile?
“…….” After hearing Yue Yang berate them like this, Lord Ling Yun and Tu Hai were really shocked, and Tudor almost fainted.
Inside the tavern, there was silence at first.
Suddenly, it was unknown who started it, laughter sounded out and immediately spread throughout the entire tavern.
Hahahahahaha.
In the end, almost everyone laughed out loud, regardless of the old or the middle-aged, the bartender or the bodyguards, all were laughing wildly.
An old man who was laughing so hard that tears were spilling out of his eyes, slapped the old table hard and laughed, “Good, good boy, how many years have passed since I’ve seen such a gutsy boy, interesting, so interesting.”
“Bring out the wine, someone’s buying us a drink, it’ll just be a waste if we don’t drink.” An old piece of wood who had been the only one who hadn’t laughed, glanced at Yue Yang and handed the glass in his hand to the bartender. As soon as he spoke, everyone was clamoring for wine, and some couldn’t wait, even crawling into the liquor cabinet, eager to pour the wine themselves.
“Old man, after drinking my wine, do me a favor, will you? I want to ask about a person that goes by the name Cook Caribbean.” Yue Yang plopped down next to the wooden-faced old man, and clinked his cup with the old man’s, as if they were long lost best friends, before getting straight to the point and asking for news about the most famous pirate captain Cook Caribbean from the era of Empress Fei Wen Li. He knew that these old guys were actually the disabled veterans of Empress Fei Wen Li back then, otherwise, they would not stay here, preferring to be a street sweeper, rather than to take the position of country sovereign. With their strength, becoming a sovereign of a country was easy, some of them even had strength to rule an even larger area, such as this wooden-faced old man before him. He at least had the Heaven Rank, Level 7 strength.
Yue Yang’s straight-forwardness once again silenced the entire drinking crowd.
After hearing the name of Cook Caribbean, many people put down their wine cups with a heavy heart, and their drunkenness disappeared from their faces.
Lord Ling Yun and Tu Hai as well as the others silently called out a “GG”, this name seems to be itaboo here in Conqueror’s City, otherwise, these old guys who were drinking happily, would not have made such expressions.
The wooden-faced old man sat blankly for a while, before looking at Yue Yang with slanted eyes and shook his head saying, “Don’t know any Cook Kook.”
Yue Yang knew that they were unwilling to talk about it, afraid that they would expose their comrade.
Very depressed, he took a sip of his wine.
At this moment, it was not convenient to tell them the truth about Empress Fei Wen Li, and it was unlikely that he could gain the trust of these old guys, it seemed that this time, he had really bought them a drink for nothing. But when thinking about it from another angle, this way, at least these old guys still maintained their loyalty to Empress Fei Wen Li, if he exposed them directly, his plan might even backfire.
“Forget it, I’ll buy you another drink, but I won’t take responsibility even if you drink to death.” Yue Yang slapped the table and instructed Fatty Hai, “Settle the bill, don’t let these old guys dump their old tabs on us as well.”
Seeing that there were still some remnants in his cup, Yue Yang immediately lifted his glass.
And very stingily slurped it all up, not at all giving these old guys the possibility to steal his leftover wine.
Lord Ling Yun and Tu Hai were so dazed by his actions they nearly fainted, since he had already treated all of them, he was still afraid they would dump their old tabs on him? Besides, putting aside the money used to treat the house, even that little bit of leftover wine had to be slurped up to not give others the chance to steal his leftover wine?
This, this move was too petty!
Just as Yue Yang was gulping down his wine, suddenly an old man beside him scratched his head, as if recalling something and muttered, “You said Cook Caribbean, I seem to somewhat remember, this, this name is really hard to remember, who, who would call himself this crap name, hey, it seems that there was a guy who headed out and made a name for himself. It seems that his name was Cook…”
Ye Kong hurriedly inquired on Yue Yang’s behalf.
He bowed low to the old man and asked, “May I ask, what was the name or title of that elder?”
The old man scratched his half-bald head and thought for a long time, before finally saying with some uncertainty, “He seems to be called, called, Heaven Domain Emperor or something like that. He’s still in the pirate industry anyway.”
“Poof,” upon hearing this, Yue Yang spurted out all the wine in his mouth, spraying the few old men sitting next to him at the same table.
