"Yi Cheng is the... Mountain King of my Vermilion Bird Dynasty!!!"
Xiangyue was stunned.
She simply couldn't compare the ugly-cute doll in front of her with the legendary, invincible, god-like Lord Kao Shan.
But she snapped out of her shock and immediately knelt down like everyone else, her expression respectful.
"Yi Cheng, why didn't they call me? I'm also a Treasure-Gathering Little General, a title bestowed by the Four Noble Ones."
Little Fatty tugged at Orange's sleeve out of jealousy.
"The goose...the goose doesn't know."
Yi Cheng scratched her little head.
Little Fatty's mind raced, and he immediately started rummaging through his storage ring.
A moment later, they found a small token the size of a palm. Compared it to Yi Cheng's, Little Fatty immediately felt envious.
"Hmph, when I get back, I'll have Siwu forge me an even bigger token."
The chubby boy pouted.
Then, holding up the token, he shouted, "I am the Treasure-Gathering Little General, bestowed with no personal authority by the four heavens! Why aren't you all coming to pay your respects to me? Hee hee~"
"The Treasure-Gathering Little General?"
"Never heard of it?"
"Yeah, I've never heard of it either."
The crowd was puzzled, but seeing that Little Fatty and King Kao Shan were in cahoots, they didn't suspect anything and called out a few times in broken voices, "Greetings, Little General Jubao."
That aura was simply incomparable to that of Yi Cheng.
Little Fatty immediately ran to Da Mei's side, snuggled into her arms, and sulked.
This left Xiangyue, who was standing to the side, completely stunned. She couldn't believe that even the seemingly weakest member of the group, Little Fatty, had such a remarkable background.
"Long live the King of the Mountain!"
"King Kao Shan is incredibly powerful!"
"We kneel in gratitude to King Kao Shan for ridding the people of this scourge, eliminating violence, and upholding justice!!!"
The crowd cheered in unison, completely disregarding the tyrannical power of the young master from the Minister's mansion.
What a dissolute little white goose, what a Minister of Revenue, what a high-ranking official of the second rank—to hell with them all! Before the great prince, they all have to step aside.
Now that the Prince of Kao Shan has taken action, let alone teaching him a lesson, even if he were to kill that young master from the Minister's mansion, if the matter were to reach His Majesty, even His Majesty would be powerless to stop it.
After all, this is the powerful and influential Prince Kao Shan.
It is said that she followed His Majesty on the battlefield, made countless contributions, and firmly held the second place in terms of merit. Most importantly, she retired after the founding of the country, keeping her achievements and fame hidden. Such magnanimity is truly admirable.
"Get up, all of you."
Yi Cheng called out calmly.
She had experienced and was familiar with such scenes before.
Then, she ran up to Xiangyue, patted her little chest, and solemnly promised, "Big sister, if anyone bullies you in the future, come to me, I'll protect you!"
"Thanks..... "
Xiangyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, kneeling respectfully and knelt down, saying, "This servant is Li Xiangyue, thank you, Your Highness!"
"Long live the Prince! Long live the Prince! Long live the Prince!"
At this moment, Xiangyue was overwhelmed with excitement.
This is the first non-royal king in the empire to achieve such a prestigious reputation.
A word from her is worth more than a thousand guarantees.
At this moment, among the guests bowing and kowtowing below, many shrewd individuals watched this scene and thought to themselves, "From now on, this little Xiangyue Tower has finally gained a foothold in the capital."
......
"Sister Xiangyue, could you teach me to dance sometime?"
"OK. "
"Hehe, thank you, Sister Xiangyue! We'll come visit you again sometime!"
"The geese will come to play with you from now on."
Yi Cheng and the others left.
Amid cheers from the crowd,
During the farewell ceremony at Xiangyuelou,
Carrying boxes of Xiangyuelou's unique pastries, they happily walked out the door.
Upon reaching the door, each person used their little feet to pry open the half-dead Wang Yuan'e, before finally leaving in a satisfied queue.
"Da Mei, the geese got into a fight again today. Master said they're not allowed to fight when they're out. What if Master beats them when we get back?"
Walking on the bustling street, Yi Cheng felt somewhat troubled.
He was afraid that his master would hit his palm with the ruler again.
"No, Yi Cheng, we were just doing a good deed today, Master won't hit you."
Da Mei was very happy today. She met Sister Xiang Yue and even taught that wicked person a lesson. Sister Xiang Yue will also teach her to dance in the future.
"La la la, I'm a helpful little koi fish..."
Da Mei hummed a beautiful tune while eating the pastry in her hand.
"Really? Da Mei!"
Upon hearing Da Mei say that her master wouldn't hit her, Yi Cheng felt relieved, and a smile instantly bloomed on her face, because Da Mei wouldn't lie to her.
"Da Mei, if the goose keeps doing good deeds, will Master praise it again?"
"Probably."
"Hehehe... From now on, I'm going to be a brave little goose!"
"Me too! I want to be a lucky koi king who stands up for justice!"
"Squeak, then I'm a brave rabbit who stood up for justice..."
On the sunlit street, several chubby boys grinned broadly.
However, as Yi Cheng and his companions were walking, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
"Roar~"
A beastly roar rang out.
The previously noisy crowd was thrown into chaos by fright, and people scrambled and rolled to the sides of the street.
A toddler, about three or four years old, stood bewildered in the middle of the road, crying out, "Mommy, Mommy, where are you?"
"You lowly commoner, get out of my way!"
At that moment, not far in front of the little boy, a strange beast with flames spewing from its body was galloping towards them, with a boy riding on its back.
The boy looked young, only twelve or thirteen years old, with an arrogant and domineering demeanor.
Even seeing a doll standing on the street ahead, he didn't order his mount to stop. Instead, an excited look appeared on his face, and he sped up even faster.
It seemed as if they wanted to crush the little baby.
"Ah~~, Tuantuan~"
Suddenly, a woman on the street tried desperately to rush into the street, but was stopped by the people next to her.
"You'll die if you go there, Mother Tuan."
"Let me go! My daughter is still there!"
The woman broke free of her restraints and ran over, throwing herself onto the little child.
"Roar~"
With a deafening roar, the beast stomped its hooves, about to crush the mother and daughter into a pulp.
Suddenly, the mother and daughter disappeared from their spot and reappeared behind Da Mei.
"You bad guy, you almost stepped on someone to death, you know that?"
Da Mei glared with her big eyes and angrily accused him.
"Hmph, a mere commoner, trampling him to death is one thing, but disturbing the fire dragon horse my father gave me, that's the real crime."
The boy looked very young, yet his words were full of malice and cruelty.
"You...you..."
Da Mei was furious. How could there be such a wicked person in the world?
"One orange, one orange."
Da Mei called out twice.
"As long as the goose is here, the beautiful goose is here."
Yi Cheng immediately ran to Da Mei's side.
"Yi Cheng, this guy is a scoundrel, a really, really bad one. Go teach him a lesson so he'll never dare to bully anyone again."
Da Mei pointed angrily at the boy and said, "I'll explain to my master when we get back."
"good. "
Yi Cheng still listens to Da Mei.
He went up and punched the fire-breathing beast to death.
"Little fire, my little fire!"
The elegantly dressed boy immediately cried out in surprise.
He then glared fiercely at Yi Cheng and the others, and angrily cursed, "You lowly people, you lowly people! You actually beat to death the pet that my father gave me."
Do you know who I am?
My father is the Marquis of Yongyi, and I am the heir of the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion.
"You killed my beloved pet, and I will make you pay with your lives."
The boy stood up angrily.
brush!
A golden leather whip covered in poisonous barbs appeared in his hand, and he lashed it mercilessly at Yi Cheng.
Snap!
The whip lashed at Yi Cheng's belly, but Yi Cheng didn't react at all. Instead, several of the poisonous barbs on the whip broke off.
"this........ "
The heir of the Marquis of Yongyi was momentarily stunned.
"What the hell kind of species is this?"
"This is a low-grade magic weapon bestowed upon me by my father!!"
"Yi Cheng, ignore him and just beat him up."
It's rare to see Da Mei so angry.
With a shout of "Black Duck," Yi Cheng charged forward, his body slamming into the chest of the arrogant youth like a cannonball.
"Ah~, I'll be back."
The boy immediately transformed into a star and flew thousands of meters away.
A small orange hand rested on her eyebrow as she gazed into the distance, then she ran back to report with a "da da da" sound.
"Da Mei, the goose knocked him away."
"Hmph, he got off too easily."
Da Mei exclaimed angrily, "Let's go back to the palace!"
"good. "
Yi Cheng blinked her little eyes, then picked up the fire dragon horse from the ground, intending to go back and cook it.
......
"Master, we encountered bad people today..."
After Da Mei returned home, she told Qin Shou about what had happened that day.
Qin Shou nodded with a smile, saying that what she did was fine, but the world is not as black and white as we imagine, so we must do what we are capable of.
Next time you encounter something beyond your capabilities, learn to avoid it and don't just rush forward blindly.
After all, this is a world of cultivation.
Qin Shou sighed, but didn't say the last few words to them.
The peach tree on Dengxian Pavilion is in full bloom, with its crystal-clear petals fluttering down, creating a beautiful scene.
At this moment, Yi Cheng and the other little foodies, after learning that Qin Shou would not punish them, happily sat around under the tree, lit a big black pot, and cooked the fire dragon horse they had brought back that day.
"oops,, "
"Smack, smack..."
"It smells so good!"
As expected of a mythical beast, its fragrance travels far and wide.
After a hearty meal, the little ones lay under the tree, arguing about how awesome they had been that day...
......
The next day.
On the throne room.
"Your Majesty, you must do justice for this old minister!"
"What is it, my dear minister?"
"Your Majesty, my son was beaten by Prince Kao Shan yesterday because he went to a brothel. All his bones were broken and his Qi Sea was damaged. It will take him several years to recover."
"Your Majesty, you must do justice for me! This Prince Kao Shan is far too lawless!"
An elderly man with gray hair knelt tremblingly in the main hall, recounting the tragic events that had befallen his son.
"Hmm? Prince Kao Shan? My dear minister, are you perhaps mistaken?"
Xiao Xuan frowned.
In reality, nothing in the capital could escape his notice.
He knew about it the day it happened, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.
"Tell me, my dear minister, how exactly did the Prince of Kao Shan clash with your son?"
"This...this..."
The Minister of Revenue hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
Xiao Xuan chuckled amusedly, "I heard that your beloved son went to a brothel without paying and even tried to force himself on you in public, only to be taught a lesson by the Prince of Kao Shan who happened to be passing by."
"Your Majesty——"
The Minister of Revenue immediately knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty, I admit that my son is a bit mischievous, but he shouldn't have used such cruelty! My son is still young and only has the cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm. If anything were to happen to him, how could I, your old minister, live on?"
The Minister of Revenue, a high-ranking official of the second rank, wept bitterly in the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, I also have something to report."
At this moment, another middle-aged man with a steady demeanor stepped forward.
"Oh? What does Marquis Yongyi have to report?"
"Your Majesty, I swear, the Prince of Kao Shan has shown utter disregard for the law, assaulting the family of a high-ranking official in the street and even shattering my son's dantian, rendering him unable to cultivate for the rest of his life. I beg Your Majesty to grant me justice."
The Marquis of Yongyi, his eyes resolute, said, “Your Majesty, the Prince of Kaoshan has rendered great service to the Empire. I know I cannot do anything to her, but she should at least give an explanation to my Marquis of Yongyi’s mansion and to the soldiers in the army.”
"Okay, okay, okay, is there anyone else who wants to play?"
Xiao Xuan rubbed his temples and smiled, "Since you two ministers have questions, then summon the Prince of Kao Shan to an audience. I will have him discuss this with you two in person."
When the eunuch in charge of Xuan paper found Yi Cheng, she was hiding in the imperial kitchen, enjoying a hearty meal.
"What! Siwu is looking for the goose? The goose isn't going. You'd better hurry and tell him not to disturb the goose's meal."
"this....."
The young eunuch looked troubled.
"Your Highness, this is an imperial decree; you must go."
"Can't you see the goose is eating? The goose is going to get angry!"
Yi Cheng immediately shouted angrily, "Go tell Si Wu to wait until the goose has finished eating before you go!"
"Okay... alright."
The young eunuch retreated shakily.
This powerful figure was simply too famous. Although she looked like a child at the moment, he dared not underestimate her.
A short while later, the little eunuch returned to the Golden Palace and recounted everything Yi Cheng had said.
"well...... "
Xiao Xuan could only sigh helplessly at this.
If we wait for my junior sister to finish her meal, who knows when that will take.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Kao Shan is arrogant and disrespectful, treating Your Majesty as if you were nothing."
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Revenue immediately accused him of a serious crime.
"Heh."
Xiao Xuan sneered inwardly. I'll let you yell. When Junior Sister arrives, you can argue it out yourselves. I don't care anymore.
The loss of a second-rank official in the imperial court has little impact.
As the sun sets in the west...
Yi Cheng finally arrived, albeit late.
With his large belly sticking out, he swaggered into the Golden Palace.
There was still some oil on his lips.
"What are you looking for a goose for, you idiot with nothing to show for it?"
He started with a fierce statement.
All the ministers looked over.
With its innocent little eyes and familiar little belly, it's adorably ugly, but when it gets going, it exudes a powerful and domineering aura.
"Prince Kao Shan, it wasn't me who sought you, it was him."
Xiao Xuan pointed to the Minister of Revenue.
"What are you looking for a goose for?"
Yi Cheng ran forward aggressively.
I was enjoying my meal in the kitchen when Siwu kept sending people to urge me to come, causing Black Rabbit and Little Fatty to devour all that meat. If Da Mei hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have come at all.
I need to hurry back and eat some meat.
"I...I..."
The Minister of Revenue looked at that familiar little belly and couldn't help but stammer.
It really brought back some memories from the past.
And look how his belly has gotten so big again...!!!
"What do you want to say? Hurry up and say it, I need to go back for dinner."
Yi Cheng leaned closer to her small eyes.
She saw that the old man was trembling and looked quite pitiful, probably because he had hearing problems, so she moved closer to talk to him.
However, upon seeing this, the Minister of Revenue thought he was being frightened and took two steps back.
"You...you step back first, let's talk this out."
