Chapter 365
After securing the Dragon Balls and Senzu Beans, Lin Beifan looked at the obedient giant dragon and nodded with satisfaction: “Just now, you performed well, so I’ve decided to reward you properly!”
The giant dragon was overjoyed: “Really, Master?”
“Of course it’s true!”
Lin Beifan said with a slight smile while pulling out the divine sword: “I won’t take as much blood from you today! Just bear with it a little, it will be over quickly!”
The giant dragon: “F*ck…”
Although I’m not human, you really are a dog!
After drawing a barrel of dragon blood, Lin Beifan went to find Liu Wanqing with the dragon blood and Senzu Beans.
“My consort, I have brought you some fine treasures again!”
“Your Majesty, what kind of treasures?” Liu Wanqing asked curiously.
Lately, His Majesty had been bringing all sorts of rare and exotic treasures that she couldn’t even name, broadening her horizons.“Please look!” Lin Beifan said with a smile, instructing the servants to place the items down.
Liu Wanqing looked down and first saw a jar of golden-red blood.
She had seen this before. It was blood from a certain giant beast, which when used for refining pills, making soup, or even drinking directly, had extraordinary effects.
Just two months ago, His Majesty had brought her a jar, and it hadn’t been used up yet.
She didn’t expect another delivery so soon, and it was still hot and felt very fresh.
The sight of the blood was not enough to surprise her, but what truly astonished her was the jar of green beans.
They looked as ordinary as peas, yet they were delivered with such solemnity by His Majesty, which meant they were surely no ordinary beans.
“Your Majesty, what are these?” Liu Wanqing asked curiously as she took out a bean and examined it closely but was still unable to recognize it.
As for its effects, she couldn’t tell at a glance and had to inquire.
“My beloved consort, these are Senzu Beans!” Lin Beifan replied with a smile.
“Senzu Beans?” Liu Wanqing looked over.
“That’s right, Senzu Beans!”
Lin Beifan took one out and said with a smile, “They have a very magical effect. No matter how hungry or seriously injured one is, just one Senzu Bean can instantly restore you to your original state!”
Liu Wanqing was shocked. “Your Majesty, is that true?”
“If you don’t believe it, we can have someone test it!” Lin Beifan suggested.
Lin Beifan ordered a death-row prisoner to be brought over, beat him until he was at death’s door, and then fed him a Senzu Bean.
Before their eyes, the man rapidly recovered at a visible speed.
Liu Wanqing was shocked once again. “Such a fast recovery speed, such remarkable healing effects!”
Even the pills she had concocted did not have such impressive healing properties.
Lin Beifan chuckled to himself.
Of course, the speed was fast, and the effects were good.
These Senzu Beans were essentially a bug-level existence, and he had upgraded them with the Hand of Creation, making their effects even more astonishing.
“My beloved consort, I entrust these Senzu Beans to you!”
Lin Beifan said earnestly. “You are skilled at cultivating medicinal herbs, so I hope you can cultivate them. In doing so, our Great Xia will have an endless supply of Senzu Beans!”
Liu Wanqing understood the importance of this task and solemnly accepted the mission. “Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not let you down!”
That evening, Lin Beifan stayed over.
……
The next morning, he returned to the imperial palace refreshed, only to find Yaoyao and Song Yufei in a duel.
These two women seemed naturally at odds, always fighting upon meeting.
Fortunately, they were both restrained in their attacks.
Lin Beifan was used to it and didn’t bother to intervene.
Instead, he stood aside, watching the fight with interest.
Noticing the presence of a special spectator, the two women fought even more fiercely, escalating the battle to a climax.
After about 300 moves, Song Yufei retreated several dozen zhang, her clothes somewhat tattered and her complexion pale.
With her hands on her hips, Yaoyao laughed triumphantly, “Haha, I won this time!”
Song Yufei’s face was expressionless, but her heart was filled with gloom.
Over the years, they had fought dozens of times, and each time she had been the superior one.
But now, she had been surpassed by this enchantress.
How had she improved so quickly?
Could it be that she had consumed some divine elixir?
If Lin Beifan knew what she was thinking, he would have given her a thumbs up for her accurate guess.
Although Yaoyao hadn’t consumed any divine elixir, she often ate dragon meat and drank dragon blood, which was comparable to divine elixirs, hence her rapid improvement in strength.
Lin Beifan clapped his hands and walked over, laughing, “Amazing! Both of you fought splendidly!”
“Greetings to Your Majesty, long live the emperor!” Both women bowed in unison.
“Dispense with the formalities!” Lin Beifan smiled.
Yaoyao came running over and hugged Lin Beifan’s arm, excitedly saying, “Your Majesty, I won! I beat that woman. She’s no match for me now, haha!”
“You won, that’s fine, but as a host, shouldn’t you show some restraint to our guest?” Lin Beifan said softly.
“That’s true, I am the lady of the house here, and it’s only right to be gracious to guests!”
Yaoyao lifted her head and puffed out her chest, regaining her dignified demeanor.
Yet, a hint of smugness couldn’t be hidden in her eyes.
The group entered the palace, and Lin Beifan had tea and desserts served before asking, “May I know the purpose of your visit today?”
“I have come mainly for two reasons!”
Song Yufei said with a composed expression but in a gentle voice. “First, to visit Your Majesty, and second, to discuss an important matter!”
“I am well, rest assured! What is this important matter you speak of?” Lin Beifan asked curiously.
Song Yufei, as the young leader of the Taoist Sect, was usually very busy with the affairs of the sect.
It must be no small matter that she took the time to come here.
“This…” Song Yufei glanced at Yaoyao.
“What are you looking at me for?” Yaoyao glared back.
“This matter is of great importance. I hope Your Majesty can dismiss other people!” Song Yufei said.
“Dismiss other people?” Yaoyao was displeased.
“Song Yufei, what exactly are you planning to do? Do you have some improper designs on His Majesty, or is it something shameful?”
Song Yufei glanced back, not bothering to argue further.
After some thought, Lin Beifan waved his hand and said, “Everyone, please leave us. And Yaoyao, you go down first as well! Come back after we’ve finished our discussion!”
“I… alright, I’ll go down first!”
Yaoyao passed by Song Yufei sulkily and whispered through gritted teeth, “Don’t you dare mess with my man!”
Song Yufei simply rolled her eyes.
After everyone had left, only Lin Beifan and Song Yufei remained in the palace.
Then, Lin Beifan noticed that Yaoyao had sneakily returned, quietly climbing onto the roof and lying on a beam like a little cat, eavesdropping.
Lin Beifan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Yaoyao really was something.
He should definitely have to punish her thoroughly in bed tonight.
“Now that we are alone, please speak freely!” Lin Beifan said.
Song Yufei’s gaze sharpened, and she spoke seriously, “Your Majesty, you are the mastermind behind the Beggar Sect, aren’t you?”
