Dao of the Bizarre Immortal-Chapter 414 - Son
Chapter 414 - Son
Li Huowang sat in the corner of the room and stared quietly at the citizens of Qi Kingdom talking about something. He overheard them talking about whether they would recruit a group of eunuchs in the palace or not.
Some of them thought that eunuchs couldn't be trusted, but others thought that eunuchs were still useful and that they had to recruit more eunuchs.
Li Huowang stopped listening to their discussion and turned to Zhuge Yuan next to him.
Zhuge Yuan was drinking tea as if he wasn't involved. He didn't express his opinion as well. Considering his status, he could have made a decision for everyone, but he didn't do that.
Li Huowang sat down next to him and asked. “Aren’t you going to stop them? They’ve been talking about it for so long. We need a leader to stop them.”
“No worries. Qin Lao is here, and they'll eventually come to a decision. I think they'll come to a decision by tomorrow. The little emperor is not the key issue here, but the empress.”
“I hope they do move out tomorrow. Anyway, I'm going to the toilet,” Li Huowang said. He stood up and walked outside. Rather than going to the toilet, however, Li Huowang left the residence through the courtyard.
A slightly faded humanoid window sticker talked to him once he was outside.
“Why are you still acting? The people outside are waiting for you anxiously, including Lord Jian Zheng.”
Li Huowang frowned at the sticker. “I don’t even know where he's hiding his almanac. Why are you in such a rush? I'll end up alerting him if I move haphazardly. Do you not have any idea just how strong he is?”
“Pick up the pace. We're at a critical juncture, and you can't take the easy path here.”
“Relax. I know the best time to act, and it's when the Sitting Oblivion Dao members are fighting against him. He's definitely going to use the almanac against the Sitting Oblivion Dao.”
“Are you sure that the Sitting Oblivion Dao will start moving soon?”
“Of course. Zhuge Yuan had fought them many times before. At this point, it’s either he dies or the Sitting Oblivion Dao dies. They’ve ambushed him twice and are definitely going to do it again.
"Anyway, I have to go back now, or Zhuge Yuan will get suspicious of me.”
Li Huowang turned around and ran away without waiting for the humanoid sticker's response.
The humanoid window sticker ceased all movement. In a house ten Li away, a chubby woman was holding a scissor tied with red thread. She crumpled up a window sticker and hurled it into the fire. Then, she told Jian Zheng everything.
Jian Zheng's eyes were squinting as he heard the report. Two beautiful ladies were massaging his back and shoulders.
The incense finished burning and the plump woman went and lit up another.
Jian Zheng spoke again when the white incense smoke drifted once more into the air.
“Tell the guards to release the two Sitting Oblivion Sect from the prison. Let them be the messenger. Tell them that we will fight the Storyteller at noon. The Surveillance Bureau only wants the Six Divinations Almanac, nothing else.”
The chubby woman was shocked by the order. The Sitting Oblivion Dao was the nemesis of the Surveillance Bureau, but Jian Zheng was actually going to use them?
“Lord Jian Zheng, are they really going to do that?”
“I know that they're a group of liars, but they will definitely do that. Everyone thinks that they're just a group of crazy liars, but they actually have things they hold precious. They're simply hiding it properly."
Jian Zheng felt tired and proceeded to his bed. Upon hearing footsteps, the two ladies in the bed moved aside and lifted the blanket.
Jian Zheng lay down, and the two ladies lay at the edge of the bed. Jian Zheng placed his wrinkled feet in their bosoms, allowing their soft bosoms to envelop his feet.
Jian Zheng sighed and turned around on the bed. “Go. Notify me once we're moving out tomorrow. This is an important mission, and I must oversee myself.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The chubby woman raised the scissor and snipped it toward the direction of the lamp. The room was plunged into darkness. Then, she bowed slightly toward the bed before leaving the room.
Li Huowang woke up in the morning on the second day of his mission. He didn’t eat breakfast and paced around the courtyard endlessly; his instincts were telling him that something was going to happen today. freewebn(o)vel.com
Li Huowang ignored the people from the Great Qi walking past him.
The Liang Kingdom was in a more perilous situation compared to the Qi Kingdom. Li Huowang saw an approaching carriage. He prepared himself, but he saw an eunuch alighted from the carriage.
The eunuch was chubby with jade-like skin like the others, but he looked quite young. He wasn’t wearing any jewelry, but prayer beads wrapped around one of his hands as embellishments.
The eunuch didn't walk into the residence. He stopped in the courtyard and started shouting, “Everyone, stop your useless work! We are not going to help you. We are returning the favor from before by acting like you do not exist at all.”
Qin Lao was reluctant to let go of one of the few remaining help they could possibly obtain. “But Lord Zhuge is with us! Will you not reconsider? We'll share the glory once we succeed!”
The eunuch looked at Zhuge Yuan and bowed respectfully before chuckling at Old Qin. “Lord Qin, what do you think is most important to us, who are working in the palace?”
Everyone was stunned.
One of the ladies spoke hesitantly. “Gold?”
“Wrong! It’s a son[1]! You can’t help us, but the monks can!”
The eunuch took off his robes, revealing his enlarged belly covered in veins. The eunuch excitedly showed off his belly. “Who said that we can’t have children after getting castrated? Do you not see this? This is my own son!”
The eunuch used his hand wrapped in prayer beads to caress his belly. Soon, an imprint appeared on the eunuch's belly as if what was inside had reacted to the eunuch's touch. The imprint resembled a hand!
Li Huowang felt a shiver down his spine. What the hell is happening to the Qi Kingdom? What did the monks from the Righteous Monastery do to impregnate the eunuchs? Wait, is his "son" even alive inside him?
The Righteous Monastery of the Qi Kingdom was clearly stronger and more influential than the Righteous Monastery of the Liang Kingdom.
Old Qin’s hands trembled violently at the sight. “The monks from the Righteous Monastery are evil and have fallen into depravity! You're not going to live long by consorting yourself with them!”
“Who cares if they're evil? I'll help those who can give us a child, even though we've been castrated!” the eunuch retorted. Then, he carefully wrapped his enlarged belly with his robes, hiding it from everyone's line of sight.
1. Eunuchs are castrated once they accept their roles. This is to make them less threatening as servants of the imperial family. That’s why they can’t have children. ☜
