Chapter 53 The Five Major Forces of the Mystic Domain
Feng Mo stomped his feet anxiously, completely oblivious to the soft sensation beneath his feet. "Huh? What kind of injury is low blood sugar? Should we call a pharmacist to take a look?"
“Meow!!!”
Before Li Yang could even call out, the ethereal cat started meowing, pulling on its tail!
Li Yang quickly scooped the ethereal cat into her arms, her pale face still dripping with cold sweat.
"No need to call the pharmacist. I'm just a little dizzy. I'll feel better after a while and have something to eat."
Rousheng hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly bring a sedan chair and carry Yangyang back to the courtyard. Tell the kitchen to prepare food and cook for me right away... Is ten dishes and a soup enough?"
Feng Mo chimed in, "I think twelve dishes would be better. Yangyang just got back and needs to recover!"
sedan chair?
Twelve dishes?
These words made Li Yang's vision go black again. In the chaos, something hard grazed her lips. She smelled sweetness and subconsciously bit down. She heard a small cry of pain, and the sweetness instantly spread in her mouth.
Li Yang was so moved that tears streamed down her face. Waaah, the proud and arrogant guy really understood her!
After a while, Li Yang felt the dizziness subside a bit. She put the candy in her cheek and said with her little face puffed out, "Father, Mother, Yang Yang doesn't want to eat the food in the palace. Yang Yang wants to eat the food from Tianwailou outside the palace!"
"Huh?" Feng Mo and Rou Sheng hadn't eaten there either, and their eyes showed some confusion. Ji Cang frowned and said, "That restaurant isn't far from the palace, but you have to make a reservation in advance if you want to eat there. You're here now..."
Li Yang pouted, "I just want to eat at that place..."
Li Su cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the emperor. "Your Majesty, my father is a member of Tianwailou. Shall I take Li Yang there?"
"This……"
Feng Mo still had some doubts, but Rou Sheng was soft-hearted and raised her hand to beckon the sedan chair over, "Quickly, as long as Yang Yang is happy, she can eat anything!"
Li Yang raised her hand to stop them, her pale face no longer sweating. "No, no, no, I can walk now, no need to trouble the sedan chair!"
Li Su bowed to the elders behind her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and elders, we will take Li Yang away now."
The negotiations were interrupted, and the faces of the family heads turned ashen, as if they had eaten shit. A bellyful of wicked ideas began to churn in their minds.
However, given how much Feng Mo dotes on Li Yang, it will be difficult for them to make a move against her again.
Li Su and the others, arm in arm, followed Li Yang's retreating figure, swaying and shrinking away. The three family heads suddenly had a new idea and exchanged glances.
Leaving the palace, the four of them, including Li Yang, breathed a sigh of relief. The people passing by automatically created a vacuum zone when they saw Li Yang, but the group didn't say anything and continued walking forward.
Ji Cang remained expressionless. "Is it really necessary to come out for a meal?"
Four pairs of eyes swept towards him simultaneously. Li Yang casually placed the ethereal cat into his arms and smiled gently.
"Believe it or not, if I hadn't caused this trouble, we wouldn't have been able to get away at all. Because our strength is too weak, they would definitely force us to give a perfect reason for killing five evil people. As for the contract between Li Su and Gray, they can find out about it very quickly if they want to."
Ji Cang silently watched Li Yang, who had already grabbed his arm and was walking forward.
"Ji Cang, Li Su, think about it, what else can we eat besides Tianwailou?"
Li Su asked doubtfully, "Aren't we going to eat at Tianwailou? If I mention my father's name, they should be able to let us in..."
Ji Cang's gaze reflected Li Yang's profile. Her curled eyelashes blinked, and the pink birthmark under her eyes had faded considerably, to the point that it was almost invisible.
Li Yang pouted and pulled Ji Cang in the opposite direction. "No need. I used Tianwailou as a cover so that we wouldn't be suspected. We can just eat something casually."
Everyone was shocked, and Zeng Xu, a grown man, immediately had tears in his eyes. "Li Yang, I now believe that you are no longer the spoiled young lady you used to be."
Li Yang's lips twitched. "Thank you for believing me..."
Ji Cang stopped. "Didn't you want to eat at Tianwailou? Let's go then."
"what?"
Li Yang slowly turned her face, her big eyes full of confusion, "You tsundere, do you have a solution?"
Ji Cang curled the corners of his lips. "I'm leaving."
A quarter of an hour later.
The antique and elegant hexagonal table was filled with more than twenty delicious dishes, their steaming aromas filling the air. The four people holding chopsticks stared wide-eyed at the table.
Zeng Xu swallowed hard and looked at Ji Cang, "Ji Cang, you're amazing! How did you get to know the owner of Tianwailou?"
After the waiter placed the last dish down, he politely withdrew. Li Su smiled and raised his wine glass, "Thank you for the banquet, Brother Ji Cang. Let's celebrate our return to reality from the secret realm after surviving a near-death experience with tea instead of wine!"
The group raised their glasses and stood up together, shouting, "Cheers!"
After taking their seats, Ji Cang put the ethereal cat aside and picked out a few dishes to serve to Li Yang.
"Eat quickly, or you'll faint again."
Li Yang's face was still a little pale, but her big eyes shone with excitement. She answered while stuffing food into her mouth, just like a little hamster hoarding food.
Thank you~
The three of them rested their chins on their hands, watching the interaction between Li Yang and the other person. Zeng Xu seemed to be drunk, and he said incoherently, "Ji Cang, His Majesty really bestowed a marriage upon you? I was just thinking that the five of us had just established such a great brotherhood, and we should be adventuring together in the martial world!"
Ji Cang didn't even look up. "I'm busy."
Li Yangsai's bulging cheeks bounced incessantly. "Hmm? Where to venture?"
Zeng Xu nudged Mo Yixing, "Where did you say you were going back then?"
Mo Yixing put down his chopsticks and took a sip of soup. "I'm a wood element person, and the place I most want to go is the Medicine Sect!"
Li said, "I want to go to the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect."
Li Yang nodded. "And you, Zeng Xu?"
"Of course it's the Mercenary Guild!" Zeng Xu said excitedly. "Do you know how prestigious it is to be a mercenary!"
Li Yang nodded. "You should know."
Their gazes fell on her, and they asked in unison, "Which faction do you want to join?"
Li Yang blinked. "Which forces are involved?"
Upon hearing this, all three felt as if a flock of crows were flying overhead.
Zeng Xu's forehead veins bulged. "You've grown up and you still don't know the power distribution in the Xuan Domain?"
Li Yang shook her head, then casually picked up another piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. "I don't know. No one ever told me when I was in the Xia family."
Three sympathetic gazes swept over her. Ji Cang said casually, "The Xuan Domain is divided into four major countries: Fengyang Kingdom, where we are, then Yun'an Kingdom, Jiangyu Kingdom, and Ningbei Kingdom. Above these four countries are five major forces: Wanjian Divine Sect, Wuyue Han Sect, Chijue Temple, Medicine Sect, and Mercenary Guild. These five forces are inextricably linked to the four countries. Basically, the rulers of the four countries and those who have a name in the Xuan Domain all come from these five forces."
“Oh.” Li Yang nodded. “If you’re all going, then I should also choose a faction, but we’re in different factions and we don’t usually see each other.”
Li Su replied with a smile, "The five major powers' strongholds are all located in one place, almost forming a circle around each other. We can usually see them as soon as we leave our strongholds."
Mo Yixing added, "You think it's simple? The selection of the five major forces is in two months. It's not certain whether you can even reach the Spirit King level."
Li Yang looked at Ji Cang, but before she could speak, Ji Cang immediately said, "I'm not going."
Li Yang pursed her lips. "I have other things to do too."
