Chapter 90: Do You Think I'm Blind?

t her long legs, and rammed into his groin. Xuan Yuan Luochen never expected the other party to be so shameless and despicable. He was instantly struck with pain and let out a muffled grunt."You..." S..."Hiss..." A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Not only was this black chicken alluring, but it was also so bold, daring to defy their wise and mighty Emperor! They could already foresee the miserable fate that awaited this bird.

Xuan Yuan Lu Chen obviously didn't expect this chicken to still be alive. He was taken aback for a moment, and in that brief hesitation, his cheek was pecked by the chicken.

After a few moments of silence, he came to his senses and his eyes bulged. He slapped the clueless chicken with his palm.

"Cluck cluck! Clack!" The chicken leaped, barely dodging Xuanyuan Luocheng's killing intent. Realizing that Xuanyuan Luocheng was a formidable opponent, it quickly flapped its wings and fled for its life.

"Come here! Execute that damned rooster for me!" A roar echoed through the room, sending chills down everyone's spine. "The Imperial Kitchen has failed to do their duty! Throw all members of the Imperial Kitchen into the prison!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I don't know anything!"

"Your Majesty, please spare me."

"Pull it down!" Xuan Yuan Luocheng's face was ashen, his amber eyes filled with a chilling aura.

The spot on his cheek where the crow pecked him still throbbed faintly, and Xuan Yuan Lu Chen's anger couldn't be quelled!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" In a strangely oppressive atmosphere, the commander of the Imperial Guard spoke under immense pressure. If he could, he truly didn't want to come in!

"Speak!" Xuan Yuan Luo Chen roared, his gaze so piercing that the commander of the Imperial Guards almost buckled under its intensity. He could only grit his teeth and continue, "Your Majesty, someone has reported that there seems to be a fire at Qiu Ming Lake, with thick smoke billowing."

And the thick smoke was also tinged with the smell of fish, but he wouldn't dare say that last part.

“What did you say!” Xuan Yuan Luo Chen’s dark and bright dragon face appeared angry again. For some reason, he vaguely saw Su Qingying's wretched smile in his mind. After several deep breaths to calm his anger, he got up and walked towards Lingxiao Hall, "Let's go to Qiuming Lake!"

"See, I told you so, the flavor is much more delicious after adding these seasonings, isn't it" Meanwhile, Su Qingying, Xuen Yuan Mo, and Xuen Yuan Che each took a grilled flounder and ate it with relish, completely oblivious to the impending storm. On the fire pit, several more flounders were sizzling away.

Xuan Yuan Che had already eaten three, yet he still couldn't bear to stop. He glanced at Su Qingying with a sly look in his eyes, his handsome and gentle face filled with doubt. "Well, the taste is indeed good. Why are you so skilled at grilling fish"

Su Qingying closed her eyes and said whatever came to mind, "It's not that I was foolish before. My elder sisters bullied me, often making me hungry. Over time, I had no choice but to catch fish to fill my own stomach alone. After a long time, I learned this skill of grilling fish.""Oh, so you suffered like that before," Xuanyuan Mo said with sympathy after taking a couple of bites.

"Su Qingying, I'm sorry for how I treated you before." Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Che felt a pang of guilt in his heart. He couldn't understand how he had been so cold-blooded towards her in the past.

She may be foolish, but her heart is true. If only I had cherished her back then, would we not be in this state of animosity today

Su Qingying was startled, then smiled indifferently, "Come on, I'm not the kind of person who clings to the past. The past is over, and while I can't forgive you, I won't hate you anymore. I think that's pretty good."

"...Thank you." Xuanyuan Che tried his best to ignore the dull ache in his heart, whispering softly.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying smiled but did not reply. She focused on eating her fish.

"Your Majesty, it's right ahead." Even from afar, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen and the others could smell a fragrant aroma of grilled fish. They didn't need to use their toes to figure out what was going on with the thick smoke billowing from Qiu Ming Lake!

Xuan Yuan Lu Chen walked towards the thick smoke. Rounding a bush that blocked his vision, he saw three figures huddled together, gleefully eating the fish he had caught. A surge of anger welled up in his chest, almost making him spit out blood!

It's that damned woman again!

"What are you doing!" A roar, like thunderclap, startled them, nearly sending the fish they were grilling to the ground. Xuanyuan Luocheng's face was ashen with anger.

"...The three of them lowered their heads, their bodies suddenly stiffening as a chill ran down their spines. A large bead of sweat slid down the back of one's neck, and the three looked at each other, none daring to raise their heads." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Hi, Xiaochengcheng, what a coincidence!" Feeling the pressure building on her head, Su Qingying braced herself and stood up first, acting goofy by holding up the grilled fish and shaking it.

"Hey, big brother, what a coincidence!" Xuan Yuan Mo also learned to sway the grilled fish like Su Qingying, but when his smile reached the other's icy gaze, he awkwardly shut his mouth.

"Big brother, hi…" Xuan Yuan Che was just about to catch up with the formation when Xuan Yuan Luo Chen gave him a cold glance. A chill ran down his spine and he coughed, dryly laughing. "Cough, it's nothing."

He glanced at the fish sizzling on the grill, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's anger reached its peak. A layer of frost seemed to cover his handsome face, so cold it sent shivers down one's spine. "Su Qingying! You damned woman! You're practically asking for death! Bring her to me! This time, even Su Ziyi won't be able to save you!"

"Brother, wait." Xuan Yuan Mo and Xuan Yuan Che, the two brothers, almost spoke in unison with worry etched on their faces. Seeing his face as dark as ink, they knew this time he was truly enraged. It seemed that he might even be thinking of killing Su Qingying.

“You two want to plead for her You’re both in danger yourselves, you have such big hearts! Take care of yourselves first! Don’t think that I will let you off easily this time!” A sweep of his amber eyes, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen’s icy gaze sent shivers down their spines, forcing them to swallow the words they wanted to say in plea.

Xuan Yuan Luo Chen glared at Xuan Yuan Mo and Xuan Yuan Che with frustration. It seemed he had been too lenient with the two of them, allowing their courage to run rampant! If he didn't give them a lesson, they wouldn't even consider him their older brother!

"Wait a moment, Little Chenchen, this is actually a beautiful misunderstanding!" Seeing the Imperial Forest Army eyeing her menacingly and about to grab her, Su Qingying bit down on a fish to calm her nerves and quickly spoke up.

Xuan Yuan Lu Chen's eyes turned red with anger, his gaze dark and sinister, cold and piercing, wishing he could strike her down right then and there!

"Mistakes What do you have in your hands Do you think I'm blind! Take him away!"

"It's all your fault! You insisted on bringing me here to eat this grilled fish, saying that the fish here is the fattest and most delicious, and that no one would know. Well now, look at me! I'm about to be thrown in prison after just a few bites!"

Changing the subject, Su Qingying perfectly embodied the spirit of "a dead friend is not as good as a poor one." She mercilessly betrayed Xuan Yuan Mo and Xuan Yuan Che, quickly distancing herself from the situation.

"Huh Me, us" The two of them looked dumbfounded, struck dumb, and incredulously pointed at her.

This dead girl sold them out like this Clearly, it was she who snuck here to steal fish and got caught by them. They are the innocent ones, aren't they How can she turn black into whiteough she doesn't know why Luè Yué Gōng says Yíng'er is their palace master, she has grown up beside him since she was little. Perhaps he knows better than anyone else. No matter what Luè Yué Gōng's pu...
