Chapter 2452 I Can’t Afford It (2)
After a few light coughs, the demon forced out an ugly smile and said,"I want to see the Phoenix King, please pass the message."
"Please wait!" When the guard heard that she was not here to cause him trouble, he immediately ran away. A few minutes later, the demon was invited into the Phoenix King Palace.
The Phoenix King, who was sitting on the throne, didn't know why this ugly man had come to find her. However, in order to win him over, the Phoenix King still revealed a beautiful smile and said in a tender voice,""Is there anything important for young master lianwu to look for me?"
"There's nothing important. I just want to ask when we can leave this place. God Lord Rime is still waiting to marry Feng Xiu! If we let her wait anxiously and come to our door personally, the consequences will be beyond our expectations! Besides, there are so many of us, and the amount of food we eat every day is not small. I heard that the Feng clan was robbed a while ago, so, reasonably, I think the Feng King should let us go as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that we will eat your Feng clan until you're poor! AI! Among us, there are quite a few big eaters!" The demon said worriedly. He even had an expression that said 'I'm doing this for your own good' on his face, which made the Phoenix King unable to vent her anger.
The Phoenix King couldn't deny that raising these guys for nothing was a big pressure for the Phoenix Clan. However, letting lianwu leave just like that made her feel uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, the Phoenix King sighed and said,""AI! I also want to investigate the theft case as soon as possible so that I can let you leave, but I don't have any clues at the moment. Moreover, I also need Lord lianwu to assist us in the investigation, so I'm afraid you'll have to stay in the Feng clan for a few more days. "
"How long do we have to stay?" The demon asked.
"After Lord Lian Wu is cleared of suspicion, I will let you go." The Phoenix King said through gritted teeth. Originally, she had a good impression of this evildoer, but now, because of the ugly man's relentless pursuit, it had completely disappeared without a trace. Now, all she could think about was, why was this guy as annoying as Lian Wu!
However, she was still hoping that this man would cause trouble for the Peacock King. So, even if she hated him, she would not show it too obviously. However, the demon was not a fool. How could he not hear the displeasure in the Phoenix King's words?
"I don't know how the Phoenix King is going to clear my Lord of suspicion? Interrogation?" The demon asked curiously.
"This ... I can't disclose it." The Phoenix King said with hatred. How could she not want to! However, as long as she thought of that ugly woman's identity, she had to be careful. Otherwise, if that B * tch, Wu Xuan, really blamed her, then the one who would be slapped in the face would be her.
More importantly, she knew very well that if they were to really interrogate him, Lian Wu would not cooperate.
And she didn't think of a good excuse. When she thought of this, the Phoenix King was extremely conflicted.
"Since it's inconvenient to disclose, then I won't ask. However, I hope that the Phoenix Clan can be more efficient. My Lord and I are in a hurry to return to attend God Lord fogripple's wedding! I hope the Phoenix King can understand our urgency. " The demon laughed.
Understand, my ass! These words infuriated the Phoenix King. However, she had to smile and reply,""Don't worry, I'll hurry the people below!"
"Then I'm relieved. Goodbye!" After saying that, the demon stood up and left. As soon as he opened the door of the hall, he saw uncle long and the others blocking the door. They were all here to eavesdrop!
However, he didn't mind.
"Let's go back!"The demon said as he glanced at uncle long.
Uncle long and the others nodded. Seeing the demon's serious expression, they all thought that he was in a bad mood, so they obediently followed him back to the guest courtyard.
At this moment, Leng ruoxue, who was lying on the deck chair and basking in the sun, did not ask anything when she saw that everyone had returned so quickly. She only instructed the Phoenix clan's attendant beside her,""Let's go get some more food. We're all hungry. "
"Yes!" The Feng attendant was helpless. These people had already eaten a lot today. Why were they hungry again? He couldn't understand how these guys could eat so much. At the rate they were eating, it wouldn't be long before the entire Feng clan became poor.
Normally, the members of the Phoenix Clan rarely ate. After all, as cultivators, they would never feel hungry. They ate more to satisfy their appetite. However, these guys kept saying that they were hungry. This made the attendant a little uncomfortable. However, a few days ago, after seeing the violent man's violent behavior, and with Lian Wu Daren's status, he didn't dare to refuse.
Very quickly, the Phoenix clan's attendant brought food over. However, the amount of food was not as much as Leng ruoxue had expected.
Glancing at the food, Leng ruoxue pulled a long face and said unhappily,""Are you guys feeding the birds? We're humans, we have big appetites, how can this little bit of food be enough?"
"That ... The Butler only gave this much. He said that it was a limited amount and that we can't take too much at a time to avoid wasting it." The Feng clan attendant observed Leng ruoxue's reaction as he spoke carefully.
"Afraid of wasting? Since when did the Feng clan know how to live so well? A few days ago, I even saw the Phoenix King eating and drinking in his own palace! Don't tell me this is discrimination? I'm telling you, I'm one of God Lord fogripple's men. You must treat me like how the Phoenix King does. " Leng ruoxue deliberately picked a fight.
"That's right! Why can the Phoenix King eat and drink to his heart's content, but we can't even eat? Don't forget, we're the guests of the Phoenix King. Is this how the Phoenix Clan treats their guests?" When uncle long heard Leng ruoxue's words, he went along with her and joined in the fun.
Such a good opportunity to show off, of course, could not be missed by the peacocks who had been oppressed for a long time. After being freed, they were eager to see the world in chaos. They shouted in unison,""We want to eat! We want to eat our fill! You can't abuse us! Otherwise, if word gets out, who would dare to come to the Feng clan as a guest?"
"..." Hearing these words, the servant of the Feng clan broke out in a cold sweat and almost knelt down in front of them. How could these people be so boisterous? It was really too detestable!
With a sad face and a choked voice, the servant took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then said with a pitiful voice,""Wu...This, this has nothing to do with me! It's the Butler's rule, I can't do anything about it. "𝙛𝐫ℯ𝚎wℯ𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚𝗹.𝒄o𝐦
"Forget it, we won't make things difficult for you, but you have to run a few more errands for us." Leng ruoxue said with a smile, no longer putting on a straight face. But looking at the smile on her face, the attendant was very worried.
Wu ... If Lord lianwu was angry, he would be unlucky. But if Lord lianwu laughed, he felt that he would be even more unlucky. Moreover, could he ask what it meant to run a few more errands?
However, before he could ask, uncle long answered his question,""That's right, since you've limited the number, then you should make a few more trips! Oh! Just tell them that we've finished eating, and we'll go get some more food!"
