Deities Are All Just My Food
Chapter 2453 - 1105: You’re My No. 1!
Storm Hammer!
As the long sword left his hand, Lin Baici fixed his gaze on the opponent’s eyes, his right hand half-clenched, activating God’s One Hand.
Whoosh!
The long sword shot like a meteor.
This envoy from the Da Yue clan was clearly no ordinary person, with its right hand it slapped the low table in front.
Bam!
The low table was jolted up like a shield, blocking its face.
Thud!
The long sword pierced through the low table, sending wood chips flying.
The bearded envoy tilted his head to avoid the sword while simultaneously punching the low table.
Bam!
The low table shot like a cannonball towards Lin Baici.
Lin Baici swung his fist!
Bam!
The low table shattered into powder.
Swish!
The bearded envoy stood up angrily, "What are you trying to..."
He had barely spoken three words when his body suddenly trembled, like a willow yanked out and tossed by Lu Zhishen, falling to the ground.
Thud!
Clang! Clang!
The sound of armor and weapons clashing rang out densely.
The surrounding Golden Armor Guards immediately rushed in, surrounding Lin Baici, while others went to check the bearded envoy’s breath.
"Great King, I was nervous, and accidentally lost control!"
Lin Baici knelt on one knee to apologize, quickly slipping his right hand into his pocket.
The bearded man’s heart was somewhat oversized, so Lin Baici had to crush it, the sticky mess in his pocket was very uncomfortable.
Those amateurs from the temporary team looked overly frightened, but none dared to plead for Lin Baici.
"Little Bai!"
"Oppa!"
Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin were just worried.
"Great King, that guy made the first move!"
Xia Hongyao directly argued.
If Gu Qingqiu were beside her, he would definitely pull her hard.
"So the plan was to kill this person!"
Dudek realized belatedly, reverse deducing the correct answer from the result.
"Red Medicine, don’t be rude!"
Gu Qingqiu scolded Xia Hongyao, pausing to secretly observe the King’s expression.
But this monster, powerful without anger, his face as stiff as a poker, was hard to read emotionally.
"Lord!"
Besides that bearded envoy, the Da Yue clan’s delegation included three other subordinates.
They rushed to the bearded man’s side, seeing him dead, each one howled, wanting to kill Lin Baici, but were stopped by the Golden Armor Guards.
Bam!
The King slammed the wine cup onto the table.
"Crying loudly in the hall, what sort of etiquette is this?"
The King was angry, "Someone, drag them out, three hundred strokes!"
Immediately, tall and strong Golden Armor Guards stepped out and dragged them away.
Gu Qingqiu watched this scene and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Lin Baici had killed the right person.
Typically, when someone died accidentally, the King should compensate, but instead, he punished them, it was clear he disliked this delegation.
"Your sword dance was sloppy, although you missed intended harm, he did indeed die from being startled by you."
The King adjudicated fairness, "Punish you with three hundred strokes!"
Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin immediately panicked.
Three hundred strokes would surely turn someone to a pulp, right?
Wang Helin and Dudek, upon hearing this, were instantly relieved.
The King didn’t order immediate execution, meaning there was room to maneuver, especially since Lin Baici’s ability to escape three hundred strokes was not too difficult.
Golden Armor Guards approached, intending to hold Lin Baici’s arms.
"I’ll walk myself!"
Lin Baici turned and walked out of the hall.
He knew he should cry now, mourn loudly, the worse he appeared the better, but he really didn’t want to do that.
Ah!
In front of Xia Hongyao and the others, Lin Baici had an image to uphold.
"You danced well, a reward of one hundred yuan!"
The King chuckled, rewarding Gu Qingqiu.
"Thank you for the reward, Great King!"
Gu Qingqiu knelt, "I wish to donate this money to the armored soldiers in the hall!"
"They fulfill their duties diligently, with unwavering loyalty to the King, such a model for us!"
Gu Qingqiu’s voice was loud, aiming to be heard by the armored soldiers escorting Lin Baici and by Lin Baici himself.
Money can turn the tide.
At this moment, offering money had to be tried, whether it worked or not.
"I don’t lack this one hundred yuan!"
The King refused Gu Qingqiu, "Continue the music! Continue the dance!"
The eunuchs were already jogging up the great hall with buckets, starting to remove bodies and wipe away the blood.
A group of dancing girls came in and started to dance.
"Is this pollution over?"
The smart ones who saw this scene knew the pollution was over and were astonished.
So, the key was to kill one person?
How did God Lin discover this?
Then they began to worry about Lin Baici’s safety. After all, he was now the hope of the entire group.
Whether everyone can survive leaving this Divine Ruins depended entirely on Lin Longyi’s performance.
When Xia Hongyao waited for Gu Qingqiu to return to her seat, she immediately whispered, "What will happen to Little Linzi?"
"Don’t worry, he’ll be fine!"
Gu Qingqiu warned, "Talk less!"
...
While exiting the great hall, Lin Baici saw the eunuch who had brought them in before, and he immediately forced a social smile and greeted him.
"My lord!"
"Are you looking to die?"
The eunuch whispered harshly, "Your courage is greater than a tiger’s!"
"You can’t even dance with swords, yet you went up there?"
"I suppose you don’t know how to write ’dead’?"
Lin Baici feigned embarrassment, "I just slipped, but actually I perform sword dance beautifully!"
"Don’t bullshit!"
The eunuch rolled his eyes, "Luckily, the king despised that envoy from the Damoon tribe, and you just happened to scare him to death; otherwise, it would be you being dragged away for beheading."
"Yes, thank you, my lord, for the warning!"
Lin Baici lowered his voice, "Please speak a few good words for me. After the banquet ends, whatever rewards the king bestows on us, we’ll dedicate all to you!"
"Hmph, at least you know your place!"
After the eunuch spoke, he turned to talk with those Golden Armor Guards.
He waited there precisely to save Lin Baici’s life; otherwise, even an iron man would be smashed to a pulp with three hundred strokes.
Lin Baici originally intended to bribe these armored soldiers, but didn’t expect this eunuch to take action, and the money sent earlier was still effective.
Indeed, having someone in court makes things easy!
Lin Baici endured the punishment of three hundred strokes, not missing any, but each stroke was light as a feather, about the same as being bitten by a mosquito.
In fact, with Lin Baici’s physique, even if he took three hundred strokes head-on, it wouldn’t be a problem.
After the punishment was over, the armored soldier allowed Lin Baici to leave.
"Hey, act a bit!"
The eunuch advised.
"I understand, my lord!"
Lin Baici immediately began to limp, grimacing as if he was in pain.
So, twenty minutes later, Lin Baici returned to the great hall.
Swish!
Everyone in Xia Hongyao’s group cast their eyes toward him.
Seeing Lin Baici alive, they were visibly relieved.
Lin Baici returned to the low table, not questioned by the king. Clearly, this round of rule pollution had passed.
"Are you okay?"
San Miyairi asked with concern, "This time, truly, thank you!"
"We’re companions, it’s expected!"
Lin Baici did not claim credit.
"Hey, Lord Lin!"
San Miyairi leaned close to Lin Baici, "Give me a chance, let me thank you with my body?"
"Stop kidding!"
Lin Baici was speechless, "That’s a God up there, one slip and we’re dead."
"Which is why we should have one last crazy fling!"
San Miyairi complained with her mouth, but her expression remained rational.
"Little Linzi!"
Xia Hongyao secretly gave Lin Baici a thumbs-up.
You are my number one in my heart!
Maybe because an annoying guy died, the king’s mood suddenly lifted, continuously raising his cup and inviting everyone to drink.
They drank non-stop for an hour.
Everyone was drinking cup after cup, and even though they were all God Hunters whose bodies were fortified, some were already getting overwhelmed.
These drinks, tinged with green, were obviously not normal.
"When will it stop?"
Hua Yue Yu held her mouth, feeling a bit nauseous.
"I don’t know!"
Kim Myungjin felt uneasy too.
Not drink?
That’s a joke, few employees dare refusing a toast from their boss, let alone a king.
He has the power to behead people if displeased!
"How long do we have to keep drinking?"
Xia Hongyao could still drink but she was bored, wanting to continue purifying the rule pollution.
"Now, it’s probably a new round of rule pollution!"
Gu Qingqiu saw the king raise his cup again, guessing another pollution was starting unnoticed.
