Chapter 520 The Emperor Returns
"He doesn't have to kneel down, but he must swear." Yan Li's words made City Lord Su feel relieved.
No need to kneel down!
"Dad..." City Lord Su just called out and looked straight at the old city lord.
"Don't even think about it." The old city lord's eyes were full of anger.
"If you want that bastard to live well in Elite City, you'd better..."
"I swear……"
Apparently City Lord Su's threat worked.
"As expected, you still care the most about that servant and her bastard." City Lord Su's tone was somewhat lost.
The old city lord just looked at him and swore.
"Li'er, you've worked hard." Uncle Hong looked at Yan Li with eyes full of heartache.
She was obviously very happy to go mushroom picking today, but she didn't expect to have to clean up her own mess when she came back.
"Uncle Hong, no one can hurt you from now on. Let's go home." Yan Li looked at Uncle Hong with a smile.
"Okay." Uncle Hong nodded.
It seemed like he always caused trouble for Li'er, but Li'er had never disliked him.
I should practice hard and try not to hold Li'er back in the future.
"Uncle Hong, what are you thinking about?" Yan Li noticed that Uncle Hong looked very lost, so she asked.
"Lier, I just feel very sorry. I'm always holding you back and can't help you at all." Uncle Hong's eyes were full of guilt.
"Who said Uncle Hong can't help? These are the fresh mushrooms I picked today. I want to eat mushroom egg noodles." Yan Li said as she took out the mushrooms she picked today and stuffed them into Uncle Hong's arms.
"How long will it take to finish eating so many mushrooms?" Looking at the large basket of fresh mushrooms in his arms, Uncle Hong did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"It won't go bad if you keep it in the space, so just cook it slowly." Yan Li said with a smile.
"Okay, Li'er is right." Uncle Hong responded with a loving look in his eyes.
Looking at the backs of Yan Li and the others as they left, and hearing their conversation, everyone in the Hong family suddenly felt a little dazed.
"They are more like a family." The first person to speak was Hong Bo's wife Yu.
After hearing Yu's words, everyone in the Hong family fell silent!
When City Lord Su saw that everything was resolved, he took the old city lord away.
"I tell you, you can't touch them." The old city lord said to City Lord Su as they walked.
"That depends on you. You'd better not cause any trouble to me again. Otherwise, if you do, I will make one of them disappear." City Lord Su said the cruelest words in the gentlest tone.
"Why can't you tolerate them?" The old city lord said helplessly.
"If you want to give birth secretly, you should at least give birth to some useful ones. You only give birth to ugly ones. Who wouldn't be upset when seeing them?" City Lord Su's tone was full of disgust.
Old City Lord:...
After all, those are his brothers and sisters!
……
When Yan Li and the others returned to their residence, it was already completely dark.
"Lier, wait for me, I'll go cook mushroom noodles for you." Uncle Hong turned around and was about to leave with the mushrooms.
"Uncle Hong, it's too late today and everyone is tired. You should go back and have a good rest. We can eat mushroom noodles tomorrow." Yan Li said with a smile.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Uncle Hong did not insist. It was indeed getting late.
After Uncle Hong left, Yan Li and the others went back to their rooms to rest.
Knock knock knock!
Not long after Yan Li fell asleep, she heard someone knocking on the window.
"Who?" Although she had already guessed it, Yan Li still asked.
"Your Majesty, it's me, Meng Qi." The voice of Old Meng came from outside the window.
The War King in the room next to Yan Li also suddenly opened his eyes at this time.
But he chose to guard silently and did not disturb Yan Li.
"Come in." Yan Li said.
As soon as Yan Li finished speaking, the window suddenly opened and the figure of Mr. Meng came in through the window.
"Emperor, we have finally waited for you." Elder Meng looked at Yan Li with red eyes.
"How did you get to the Continent of Heaven? Also, who is the person next to you today?" Yan Li looked at Mr. Meng.
"It was Prophet Tu who said that you would appear in the continent below. We know that if you come back, you will definitely find a way to return to the Continent of Gods. Therefore, most of us will stay in the Continent of Gods to expand our power, and a small number of us will go to the continent below to look for you." Elder Meng said.
"Who was that person today?" Yan Li always felt that the person was definitely not a good person.
"That man is called Yin Shang, and he is the master of the Zi Han Palace branch in the Tian Continent. I know that if you return, the most nervous place will be the Zi Han Palace, so I sneaked into the Zi Han Palace. I think it will be easier to meet the Emperor this way." Old Meng said with a smile.
"So that's how it is. Mr. Meng, you have worked hard over the years." Yan Li was a little moved.
She didn't expect that even after so many years of her death, there were still people in the Continent of Gods who were strengthening her power, and there were still people waiting for her.
"Mr. Meng, you don't look like an immortal at all now." Yan Li sighed as she looked at Mr. Meng in front of her.
Not only did his appearance change, but his entire temperament also changed.
Otherwise I wouldn't have failed to recognize him.
"Puchi...If it weren't for Xingshu's joke, it would not have been so easy for us to confirm each other's identities." Old Meng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"That's why things in the world are unpredictable." Yan Li also felt very emotional.
In the past, I only knew how to practice and didn’t care about anything else.
So one day, in order to tease himself, Mr. Meng actually hung peaches and persimmons on an apricot tree. The funny thing was that he took it seriously and was amazed.
This made Old Meng laugh out loud, but for the sake of her reputation as the Emperor, only she and Old Meng knew about this.
This is also the reason why the later Emperor Yan Li was very keen on going out for experience and adventure.
She felt that it was useless to immerse herself in cultivation and advancement, and she needed to go out and see the world.
"Emperor, the news of your return..." Elder Meng looked at Yan Li.
"Don't tell anyone yet. Wait until I return to the Continent of Gods." Yan Li said.
"But everyone misses you very much." Old Meng now can't wait to share with everyone the fact that he has found the Emperor.
"Mr. Meng, many people are gossipy. This is for their safety. If the news of my return gets out, not only Zi Han Palace, but also Song Jinqing and Bai Yiyi who are guilty of their crimes will be desperate." After Yan Li finished speaking, she looked at Mr. Meng.
"Those two dogs have already defected to Zi Han Palace." When talking about Song Jinqing and Bai Yiyi, the anger in Old Meng's eyes almost overflowed.
"No matter who they rely on, they won't be able to survive when it's their time to die." Yan Li's eyes were filled with cruelty.
"The Emperor is right." Elder Meng nodded.
"Mr. Meng, how did you avoid Yin Shang and come to see me?" Yan Li was very curious.
"I told him that I wanted to sneak in to get information." A fox-like smile appeared on Old Meng's face.
"To get information?" Yan Li was puzzled. To get information, shouldn't one go to the Beast Tribe or the City Lord's Mansion? Why would he come here to get information?
