1746 Nationwide Celebration (1/2)
Qingfeng Li faintly smiled and said to the Lingyun Emperor, ”The Emperors of those four countries had killed so many Self-Cultivators in Lingyun, but it was all started because of me. I had to get revenge for your people, so naturally I had to eliminate them.”
The Lingyun Emperor laughed and said, ”Well done. I will host a grand feast for you in the royal palace today, as well as a nationwide celebration. The whole country of Lingyun will have the day off and everyone will celebrate your victory.”
The Lingyun Emperor took Qingfeng Li's arm and walked towards the Imperial Palace.
Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Li Yang, and the Desert Giant, who were beside Qingfeng Li, also received the same treatment, and they marched side by side with the Emperor.
As for those civil and military officials, ministers, generals, female servants, palace maids, and imperial concubines, they all walked behind them. They were not qualified to walk beside Emperor, not to mention Qingfeng Li and the others.
Qingfeng Li had now become the symbolic guardian of the entire country of Lingyun; everyone looked at him with eyes full of worship and stars.
Qingfeng Li walked on the streets of Imperial City and was welcomed by many people. There were hundreds of thousands of people, all of them from the Imperial City, holding flowers in their hands and passionately celebrating everywhere.
Among these people, there were some who were more than one hundred years old while there were some four or five year old children. Without exception, all the people were intently watching Qingfeng Li, wanting to see whether this person had three heads and six arms or not and to see why he was so powerful that he could destroy the Emperors of the four countries with a single blow each.
”Can't you see? That handsome young man is called Qingfeng Li, who is a good friend of our Emperor. This time he helped us solve the big crisis in the country of Lingyun by killing the Emperors of the four countries and the army of four million self-cultivators. These four countries were the Fiery-Sun Kingdom, the Golden-Arrow country, the Clear-Wood country and the Soil-Border country.”
”Of course, I know that, I just thought that he would be old like grandfather. He should have at least cultivated for a couple hundreds of years. I didn't expect him to be so young! He looks like he is in his twenties.”
”I used to hear Qingfeng Li's name in the Imperial City. He had hit King Ning's son, the Little Prince, and even fought the Crown Prince. I thought he was arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful.”
”Of course! Masters have the right to be arrogant. If you went to fight the Emperors of the four countries, I bet they would have slapped you into a blob of flesh.”
The Imperial City self-cultivators on both sides of the street looked at Qingfeng Li with flashing and adoring eyes, as if they could not wait to rush in for an autograph.
These crowds were stopped by long spears held by Imperial City's Guards soldiers, otherwise they would certainly cause congestion.
At the same time, some of the beautiful young girls on both sides of the street became crazy about Qingfeng Li, as they passionately looked into his eyes with overwhelming love.
A twenty-year-old beautiful girl said, ”Qingfeng Li, is really handsome and too strong. How wonderful would it be if I can be his woman.”
A long-haired woman on the side grinned and said, ”Forget about it. Qingfeng Li is my dream lover. You can forget all about it.”
At the same time, another 16-year-old girl said, ”You two are old. I am still young and beautiful, so I'm the best woman for Qingfeng Li.”
Qingfeng Li's hearing was very sensitive, so he naturally heard the dialogue of those girls. His face suddenly changed slightly, and a strange quirk appeared on his face.
He did not think that he would be so popular in the Imperial City; not only did the male self-cultivators worship him, even these women who were self-cultivators wanted to be his woman.
