Dai Tianfeng: Who Am I? Where Am I? Who Hit Me?!

The voice was loud and clear, carrying with it an unrestrained imperial majesty and the weariness of a long journey.

"I am Dai Tianfeng from the Star Luo Empire."

"I have come to apologize to the Deity being for my unfilial son, Dai Mubai, offending the Deity!"

The sound penetrated the glass doors of the Maple Dye Pavilion and clearly reached everyone's ears.

For a moment, everyone in the store paused slightly.

Just moments ago, Chrysanthemum Douluo was basking in the praise from his seniors, but he stopped wiping away his tears.

The adoration on Lin Feng's face, which was filled with fervor as he looked at the Golden Crocodile Douluo, froze.

Even Bibi Dong, whose purple eyes had just been burning with jealousy, subconsciously glanced towards the door.

Dai Tianfeng?

Star Luo Emperor?

Oh.

The next second, almost simultaneously, everyone turned their gaze away.

It was as if what I had just heard was not an emperor apologizing, but a stray dog passing by that accidentally barked twice.

Those who want to keep crying, keep crying.

Those who continue to worship will continue to worship.

Bibi Dong focused all her attention back on the Blue Silver Emperor plant that was affectionately nuzzling Lin Feng's cheek, her eyes filled with barely suppressed sourness.

He was merely a mortal emperor.

What am I compared to my seniors?

Do they even deserve to be looked at?

Only one day had passed since Zhu Zhuyun crushed Dai Mubai to death in front of the entire court and then left gracefully under the high-profile protection of Ning Fengzhi and others.

But for Dai Tianfeng, this day was the most frustrating and infuriating day of his life.

He even felt that this was more unbearable than when he was assassinated and chased by his brothers during the battle for the throne!

Let's not even talk about that rebellious son Dai Mubai, who caused a huge mess that offended the Deity and could bring the entire Dai Family to ruin.

Zhu Chenfei's arrogant attitude alone was enough to give him a heart attack!

Ever since Zhu Zhuyun left, that old bastard surnamed Zhu has been practically crawling all over me and defecating on my head!

With his upright posture and raised chin, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the emperor of the Star Luo Empire!

Whether it was convening an emergency imperial meeting to discuss what gifts to bring as an apology.

Dai Tianfeng himself went to the royal treasury to select the most treasured items.

Or perhaps it refers to the entourage and accompanying personnel who arrange the trip.

This old bastard acted like he was the one in charge the whole time, gesturing and bossing around all the civil and military officials.

If it were only him acting this way, Dai Tianfeng could grit his teeth and bear it.

What he found most unbearable was the group of snobbish ministers in the imperial court who were usually loyal to him and would kowtow to him three times and nine times!

They all abandoned him, the legitimate emperor, and fawned over Zhu Chenfei like a pack of lapdogs!

"Lord Zhu's insight is brilliant!"

"This matter is entirely up to Lord Zhu to decide!"

"Lord Zhu, what do you think of this gift list? If there's anything inappropriate, I'll revise it immediately!"

They addressed him as "Lord Zhu" so affectionately, even more so than they would have called him "Your Majesty"!

Their fawning manner and humble posture made Dai Tianfeng's blood pressure soar. Several times he almost couldn't hold back and rolled up his sleeves to fight them!

In the end, Dai Tianfeng could no longer endure this torment.

He forcibly simplified all the cumbersome formalities and moved the originally scheduled third day's itinerary to the second day!

If he didn't leave soon, he was afraid that he would be angered to death by that old rascal Zhu Chenfei before he could be punished by the Deity!

The group rushed to Spirit City and headed straight for the Pope Palace, which symbolized the pinnacle of power on the continent.

In their minds, such great Deity should naturally reside in the most magnificent and sacred places.

And the result?

Upon arriving at the Pope Palace, there was not Deity to be found, nor even a person in charge. The entire hall was empty, with only a few guards at the gate.

Only after Dai Tianfeng, barely containing his anger, bribed a guard with one hundred Gold Soul Coin did they finally find out the information.

That "Deity" does not reside in the Pope Palace at all.

He lived in a place called "Maple Dye Pavilion".

And that Maple Dye Pavilion... is actually a restaurant?

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the Star Luo Empire was completely stunned.

My mind was filled with countless questions.

Deity?

Open a restaurant?

How are these two completely unrelated words connected?

However, as shocked and puzzled as they were...

Regardless of whether the other party runs a restaurant or a bathhouse, Dai Tianfeng is determined to kowtow this time.

So the group continued their journey without stopping, and after making several inquiries, finally arrived at the entrance of the legendary Maple Dye Pavilion.

From a distance, the entrance area looks quite lively.

A dozen or so figures stood with their backs to them; some were standing, some were kneeling, and a few were sprawled on the ground, their activities unclear.

According to Dai Tianfeng's original plan, upon arriving at the destination, he would immediately kneel down and beg for forgiveness without saying a word.

But as the ruler of a country, his pathetic pride ultimately prevailed.

How could he possibly maintain his royal dignity by kneeling down in front of so many "unrelated people"?

So he decided to take the initiative and make his identity and purpose clear with a loud apology.

That way, the Deity inside the house will hear it, and surely those onlookers at the door will have some sense and step aside, right?

He could also preserve his dignity as emperor to the greatest extent possible.

But who would have thought!

His shout was like a pebble thrown into the ocean, not even making a splash.

Those "idle people" with their backs to him, at most a few of them, glanced back at him impatiently, and then... turned back again!

They didn't take him seriously at all!

This really infuriated Dai Tianfeng.

His face, already ashen with frustration, instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

This is outrageous!

I am the Star Luo Emperor! I have come here personally to plead guilty! How dare you lowly commoners disregard me like this?!

Enraged, Dai Tianfeng disregarded all plans and strode forward.

He came to the outermost edge of the group, behind a man standing alone, holding a strangely shaped "L" stick, staring blankly at the stick.

Without a second thought, Dai Tianfeng raised his hand and slapped the other person hard on the shoulder.

"Hello!"

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear I'm here?!"

"Get out of here right now..."

However, his rebuke, filled with boundless anger and authority, was not finished.

The man who had been patted on the shoulder suddenly turned around.

In that instant, Dai Tianfeng's heart skipped a beat.

Meeting those bloodshot eyes, Dai Tianfeng felt a chill creeping through his entire body from the depths of his soul, without warning.

His intuition, as an 89th-level Soul Douluo, was frantically warning him!

Run!

This guy is not to be trifled with!

However, it was all too late...

Qian Daoliu was staring blankly at the scepter that had broken in two in his arms, so angry that he was about to have a heart attack.

The faith that his Angel Clan had passed down through generations had now become an L-shaped piece of scrap metal in his hands.

Just as he was overwhelmed with grief and anger, on the verge of a mental breakdown, he was suddenly struck lightly on the shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely arrogant voice, full of command, exploded in his ears.

"I?"

"Roll?"

Qian Daoliu's mind went blank for a moment.

All the anger, grievances, and resentment that had been building up inside them found a perfect outlet at this moment!

Almost instinctively, he swung the "L"-shaped Pope Scepter in his hand.

Looking at the face in front of me, which seemed to say, "I am the King of Heaven."

It slammed down hard!

Bang--!

A dull thud, so solid it made your teeth ache.

"What are you babbling about!"

Qian Daoliu's voice was so hoarse it sounded like he wanted to devour someone.

Who do you think you are?!

This blow completely stunned Dai Tianfeng.

He felt stars flashing before his eyes, a sharp pain exploded in his forehead, and he staggered backward uncontrollably, almost falling to the ground.

Dai Tianfeng clutched his forehead, which was rapidly swelling up, his mind blank.

Who I am?

Where am I?

Who hit me?

He shook his head, fighting off the dizziness, and glared at the "security guard" who dared to lay a hand on him.

Etc...

This face...

Why does that look so damn familiar?!

When he finally remembered the face that was exactly the same as the one recorded in the history books, but now looked like a hideous demon, Dai Tianfeng's scalp instantly tingled, and a chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head!

Thousand...

Qian Daoliu?!

The Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall?! A level 99 Peerless Douluo?!

What's this guy doing here?!

Dai Tianfeng's mind went completely blank. He opened his mouth, about to say something to salvage the situation.

"Big... big..."

Bang!!!

Qian Daoliu struck again with his staff, swift and ruthless, giving him no chance to explain!

"Screw you!"
