CHAPTER 403
Feeding a Mouthful
============================================================
"You never asked!"
Dongfang Shuo sighed wistfully. But this Holy Maiden seemed different from the rumors!
Wait a minute! The "Pants-Pulling Immortal"?
This is exactly the kind of troublemaker the ministers described as Jue'er's bad influence!
Rumor has it this very Holy Maiden kicked down a city wall, doing Juer a huge favor!
Shattered a city with one kick…
The ruler of the Eastern Realm…
The head honcho of the Sacred Mountain…
And this Su City dared to lay a hand on the Holy Mountain's Holy Maiden?
"Jue'er, what about the other one?"
"The other one is my senior sister."
Dongfang Shuo thought to himself, If the second senior sister is that formidable, how could this one be so easily dealt with?
"It's that simple? Doesn't she have any title?"
"The eldest senior sister? There are too many legends about her. Jue'er doesn't know where to begin…"
"Um…"
Dongfang Jue tilted her little head, seemingly pondering how to describe her senior sister…
"People call her Fairy Ye to her face, but behind her back, they call her Ye Yanwang. She's the bloodline of the Northern Fox Demon King, born with an innate allure. She's the offspring of the previous Demon Emperor and the current Demon Emperor of the Northern Realm."
Dongfang Shuo's eyelid twitched. He stared blankly for a long moment at the female fox fighting Li Shiyao for food…
Is Lingxian Hall some kind of training ground for killing gods?
Why is everyone so brutal?
These two ladies—just hearing their names, Dongfang Shuo couldn't place them.
But when those names, famous throughout the land, rang out—Fox Demon Empress of the North, Trouser-Pulling Immortal Sovereign—he instantly recognized them!
What kind of power did Su Cheng possess that made these two willingly become her disciples?
Just as he pondered this, the Second Matriarch, supporting the unsteady First Matriarch, approached and delivered a devastating blow!
"What are you staring at?" Li Shiyao demanded fiercely, her finger practically poking Dongfang Shuo in the face. She didn't give a damn about the Human Emperor Immortal Emperor—she wasn't afraid of anyone!
Only two people in this world could ever make her feel fear: Ye Qinghan and He Guang.
Dongfang Shuo was stunned. Even Su Cheng would at least give her some face, but Li Shiyu was just used to acting without regard for elders!
"Miss Shiyu, I am Jue'er's father. Having just heard of your deeds from Jue'er, I am deeply impressed!"
Li Shiyu tilted her head, sensing something amiss.
She glanced left and right, took a bite of roast chicken, then looked again…
"You're my junior sister's father? When did that happen?"
Dongfang Shuo was dumbfounded! She had no experience dealing with a saintly young lady. When did this happen?
"Um… To be precise, I've always been Jue'er's father."
Li Shiyao pursed her lips, clearly finding their resemblance unconvincing!
"Is that so? Shiyu doesn't believe it. Though you're quite handsome, Shiyu doesn't think you resemble my junior sister at all!"
Quite handsome…
Dongfang Jue was dumbfounded. She couldn't see what was attractive about her father!
"Um, Jue'er takes after her mother."
Li Shiyu paid no heed to Dongfang Shuo's words. After all, Dongfang Shuo and Dongfang Jue really didn't resemble each other…
Dongfang Shuo's face was something only the court officials had grown accustomed to seeing. While not ugly, it certainly couldn't be called handsome!
"Junior Sister Jue, she says he's your father. Do you want Senior Sister to help you beat him up?"
"Um… It's hard to believe, but he really is my father."
Dongfang Shuo watched Li Shiyao's eyes widen in disbelief! He was speechless. He thought he and Jue'er looked quite alike! Was it really that unbelievable?
Both he and Dongfang Jue had high, prominent noses!
"Fine! How dare you force Shiyu's junior sister to be your daughter! Shiyu's going to spank your bottom!"
At this declaration, the Prince of Zhenbei—who moments ago had brandished his spear in rebellion—immediately stepped in front of Dongfang Shuo, now defending his sovereign!
"Um, Shiyu, he really is my father… my biological father…"
"Oh? Then why hasn't he come to see you all this time? Shiyu will still spank his bottom!"
???????
Dongfang Shuo glanced at Li Shiyu, then at Dongfang Jue beside him.
"Jue'er, this isn't some backup you brought in, is it?"
"Father, if Jue'er says 'run, you're no match for Senior Sister'… you'd better run."
Dongfang Shuo was genuinely stunned—this was the umpteenth time today!
He felt like this world had gone completely mad—these people were all insane!
"Alright, Shiyu, stop messing around. We'll find a time later, and Senior Sister will sneak you in to beat her up~"
When Dongfang Shuo first heard it, he thought Ye Xianzi was a good person, but…
What did she mean by sneaking in to beat him up?
In all his years, Dongfang Shuo had rarely encountered anyone who dared speak to him like this. It seemed today had gathered them all!
Dongfang Jue smiled, knowing full well his two senior sisters were joking.
"Senior sisters, what brings you here?"
Ye Qinghan grinned mischievously. "Shiyao mentioned you wore the Dragon Emperor's Robe today, and then we heard Master had left…"
Li Shiyu chimed in, "Is it because this guy refuses to hand over the throne to Ju'er? Shiyu's going to talk to him!"
Su Cheng, having finished his introductions, chimed in, "This is pretty tasty. Want some?"
"Yes!"
"We want some!"
"We want some!"
The three direct disciples chorused in unison, then raced over to their master, waiting to be fed~
Lining up in a row, they craned their little heads and opened their mouths wide: "Aah~"
To be honest, Su Cheng hadn't expected this. He'd simply wanted to end the awkwardness.
But now, it seemed even more awkward…
【Why does it feel like I'm their dinner? Who could handle this? Qinghan, why are you closing your eyes?】
"Um, why don't you get a plate? I'll serve you?"
At this suggestion, all three disciples flashed displeased expressions!
"No! Qinghan wants Master to feed her~"
"Shiyao wants Master to feed her too!"
"Jue'er… wants to too…"
The three direct disciples were fiery with enthusiasm, leaving no room for refusal. Su Cheng truly couldn't find any words to decline.
Gritting his teeth, in front of everyone, Su Cheng…
【Here goes nothing, brothers!】
To be honest, Yu Lan felt a touch of envy too…
"Yu Lan, I want the Sect Leader to feed me too~"
Su Cheng tremblingly extended his small hand, bringing the chopsticks to Ye Qinghan's lips.
Ye Qinghan flashed a mischievous grin, his eyes seeming to steal souls. He gently bit down on the chopsticks, his expression mirroring Cangjue's after sipping tea—exactly the same!
【No, no! Prosperity, strength, democracy, civilization, harmony…】
【Qinghan, did you drink some strange tea too?】
【Wait! What about the desire-suppressing bracelet I gave you? Where is it?】
That mouthful of vegetables felt like it had been stir-fried again in Ye Qinghan's mouth!
"Um… Qinghan, could you please let go of the chopsticks? Master…"
Ye Qinghan reluctantly released her small mouth, teasingly flicking the chopstick tip with her tongue as she withdrew~
Her beautiful eyes, brimming with affection, held a spell that could make any man forget to think.
"Senior Sister, stop staring! It's Shiyu's turn now!"
Shiyao had been waiting impatiently!
She didn't even need Su Cheng to bring it to her mouth—Li Shiyu would eat it herself!
Her little head followed the chopsticks like they had auto-aim!
The moment Su Cheng picked it up, that golden-haired little head darted forward!
"Senior Sister! Senior Sister! It's Jue'er's turn! Jue'er hasn't eaten yet!"
Dongfang Jue had been watching for ages, and it was driving her crazy!
Watch as Su Cheng slowly extends his chopstick-holding hand toward Dongfang Jue. The dish seemed scalding hot, making Dongfang Jue's little face flush crimson, her big eyes brimming with tears!
Compared to her two senior sisters, Dongfang Jue was practically the sane one.
But in Dongfang Shuo's eyes…
【Is this even a proper sect? Is this even a proper master?】
