Little Fire shook its head and pricked its ears backwards, which made it look rather cute. Yun Feng couldn’t help but squeeze its ears again, making them jerk. “You don’t need to worry too much, master. Lan Yi and I are here for you.”
Yun Feng smiled and petted Little Fire. “You’re my partners and friends. I won’t let you die in vain. I don’t want to lose you.”
Little Fire’s eyes glittered. Yun Feng smiled. Maybe, the contract between a summoner and a Magic Beast was ruthless, but there would be feelings between them as they spent more time together. Some summoners would cancel the contract to get more powerful Magic Beasts, but for Yun Feng, she would never abandon Little Fire even if she met other high-level fire element Magic Beasts.
Little Fire pricked its ears again, and Yun Feng squeezed them. “Little Fire, I really want to see you transform into a human being…”
Little Fire gazed at Yun Feng, startled. Yun Feng grinned naughtily, and Little Fire grimaced helplessly. “Master, just spare me…”
Yun Feng laughed and patted Little Fire’s head. She remembered what the emperor said. The emperor was truly good at ensnaring people. It seemed that she had to visit the royal palace and deal with the emperor who was as cunning as a fox.
***
The capital was where the royal family was based. It was the center of the royal family members’ activities, and the place where most members of the family lived. The royal palace was where the members of the royal family studied and gathered.
Yun Feng came to the royal palace in the morning. The royal palace wasn’t far from the neighborhood of the rich in the south. The journey was basically a ten-minute walk. The royal palace seemed to have been connected with the neighborhood of the rich, and separated with other places. It was clearly isolated from the places of the civilians.
Naturally, Yun Feng had come to the royal palace by herself. Qu Lanyi, Mu Xiaojin and Yun Sheng had already left to wander the capital. Yun Jing had things to do too. Ever since the Yun family moved to the capital, Yun Jing had been invited to countless social occasions. Yun Feng was quite angry about that. She almost wanted to send those old farts a letter and tell them to keep a distance from her father.
Yun Feng was accompanied by a handsome young man who had mysterious tattoos on his cheek, and Little Fire who had grown famous overnight. This dark red Fire Cloud Wolf was already known throughout the capital. Everybody knew that it was the summoner’s Magic Beast!
Since Little Fire was already freed, Lan Yi was naturally freed too. The two Magic Beasts that had only been summoned when they were needed finally had a chance to see the world. Lan Yi seemed quite happy too. However, Meatball, who stayed on Yun Feng’s shoulder, was the most delighted of all. It had been excited and curious about the capital since the previous day.
When Yun Feng arrived at the gate, someone who wore luxurious clothes received her. He seemed to be from the high class. When he saw Little Fire, he smiled awkwardly, and quietly stood on Yun Feng’s other side next to Lan Yi. In his eyes, Little Fire was most dangerous.
“Lord Summoner, you’re here… His Majesty is waiting for you. Please follow me…” said the man respectfully and uneasily, as if he feared that Little Fire would impatiently lunge at him. Little Fire didn’t even bother to look at him. Seeing that Little Fire wasn’t interested in him, the man was greatly relieved.
Yun Feng followed him into the palace. Nobody else could’ve guessed that neither of Yun Feng’s companions was a human being!
The royal palace was just as big as Yun Feng expected. She was led on a special path, where she encountered few people. As she walked in silence, her two Magic Beasts were already observing the palace in secret, and making their own remarks.
“Master, there are several people whose vibes are more powerful than ours,” said Lan Yi solemnly. Yun Feng nodded. The royal family definitely had its trump cards. It would’ve been razed to the ground if it didn’t have strong protectors.
“I wonder if it would be fun to fight them.” What Little Fire said made Yun Feng shake her head helplessly. The fire element Magic Beasts were really bad-tempered, just as unstable and aggressive as fire elements. Little Fire was no exception. It always wanted to fight. If it were a human being, it probably would solve any problem by violence.
“I’m here today to negotiate with the old cunning box. I won’t suffer any loss even if he plots against me. It remains to be seen whether or not he’ll give in,” Yun Feng said telepathically. Both Lan Yi and Little Fire chuckled. Yun Feng knew what was on their mind, and said solemnly, “The commanders of the four five-star groups are just innocent children compared to this old cunning box. I was able to rip them off, but I don’t think I can outsmart this one.”
Hardly had she sent that message when Yun Feng saw an enormous gate into which jewels and diamonds had been embedded. The person who received her bowed at her respectfully, “Lord Summoner, His Majesty is in there. Please go inside.”
Yun Feng nodded, pushed the gate, and walked in. Lan Yi and Little Fire followed her. The gate automatically closed behind her. The person who received her suddenly took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat. “Oh my god, I was almost terrified to death…”
Yun Feng walked into the room, which was exceptionally spacious. The emperor was looking at Yun Feng with a smile from the host’s seat. He seemed to be the only person in the room, but Yun Feng knew that it wasn’t true. There were four Commander Level experts hiding in the corners of the room. They were all monitoring her closely from their independent spaces. If Yun Feng behaved abnormally, she would suffer Commander Level attacks from four directions simultaneously.
Meatball suddenly stood straight, and looked at the corners of the room, as if it were eager to take action. Yun Feng extended her hand and petted Meatball. This time, it calmed down and lay down on Yun Feng’s shoulder, no longer moving.
“Great summoner of the Karan Empire, please have a seat,” said the emperor with a smile. Yun Feng expressionlessly sat down, and casually glanced at the corners of the room. An emperor was expected to stay vigilant all the time. Hehe.. If she was truly going to attack, perhaps those four people would make great targets.
