Xue Ye's Collapse: My Allies Are Sharing a Table with the Enemy!

What?

Another Title Douluo?!

Xue Ye felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he had been hit hard with a hammer.

He stared blankly at the woman who had just jumped up from the ground, clutching her reddened hands, blowing on them and grimacing. The wrinkles on her forehead were so deep they could almost trap a fly.

He really wanted to rush into the store, grab any high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall by the collar, and ask them a question at the top of his lungs.

Do you have so many Title Douluo in your Spirit Hall that you don't have enough room to go? So many that you have to sleep outside restaurants?

If all else fails, you can give us a few of your own from the Heaven Dou Empire! We won't be picky!

Of course, now is not the time to think about these things.

Although he was the ruler of a country, and although the other party was lying on the ground like a madman, he was still the one who stepped on the other's hand.

As a cultured emperor, a polite apology was still necessary (mainly to avoid being beaten).

Xue Ye cleared his throat, trying to gather his emotions and prepare to say a few polite words.

But before he could even speak...

Suddenly, Spirit Kite Douluo across from him let out another strange cry of "Ah!" Without even glancing at Xue Ye, he turned and pointed at his colleagues in the restaurant, who were eating with their mouths full of grease, and let out a roar filled with endless grief and accusation.

"Hateful!"

"You heartless bunch! You actually started ordering food while I was unconscious! You're ahead of me in line now!"

That voice was heart-wrenching, filled with the grievance of being betrayed by the whole world.

Before she could finish speaking, she had already become a blur, and without bothering to argue with the culprit who had stepped on her hand, she rushed towards an empty table.

She grabbed the menu on the table as if it were a lifeline and shouted urgently towards the kitchen.

"Senior! Senior, I want to order food!!"

"I want a braised pork knuckle! Pig's trotters! Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! And that... yeah, fried noodles! Give me a serving of fried noodles too!"

"And there's more!"

They were so impatient, as if if they waited even a second longer, the delicious food would grow wings and fly away.

For a moment, only Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, Dugu Bo, and a group of royal knights were left standing bewildered at the shop entrance.

They looked at the woman who was already drooling over the menu, then looked at themselves, exchanging bewildered glances with a variety of expressions on their faces.

What's this?

What's this?

Ignore?

The Xue Ye stood frozen in place.

He is the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, the supreme sovereign!

The emperor himself arrived, only to be thoroughly humiliated by a crazy woman who appeared out of nowhere.

He set aside his imperial airs and had prepared his words to "forgive" the other party's rudeness.

And the result?

The other person didn't even glance at him, and rushed inside to order food?

Xue Ye was furious.

An emotion called "absurdity," mixed with boundless anger, surged straight to the top of his head.

Do you really think that my authority, my dignity, or even I myself... matter?

It's not even as good as a plate of fried noodles?

A pig's trotter?!

This is outrageous!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Are all the powerful figures in your Spirit Hall a little out of their minds?

Fortunately, this awkward silence didn't last long.

Not far away, at a dining table, Ning Fengzhi was leisurely sipping his soup when he saw Xue Ye's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he choked abruptly.

"Cough cough!"

He then remembered that he and his group seemed to have come with Xue Ye.

What was the purpose again?

Oh, right, they're here to demand an explanation from the Spirit Hall regarding Qian Renxue's infiltration and absconding with half of the empire's treasure for the Heaven Dou Empire!

Result...

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the nearly empty bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall the Wall in front of him, then at Bone Douluo next to him who was fighting with Sword Douluo for the last piece of braised pork, and his old face flushed red.

As a result, they were completely captivated by their senior's delicious food and generous prize draw rewards, so engrossed in their own enjoyment that they completely forgot that Xue Ye was still anxiously waiting for news from them in the Heaven Dou Empire.

This was handled in a rather unethical way.

Ning Fengzhi quickly pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, straightened his somewhat disheveled robes, and then stood up, giving a gentle and refined smile towards the door.

"Your Majesty, this way."

Familiar voices, familiar figures.

Xue Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief after his tense nerves had been on edge.

See!

I'll tell you!

Sect Master Ning and the others are eating here peacefully, aren't they? No matter how ruthless the Spirit Hall is, they wouldn't possibly harm the Sect Leader and the two Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School!

Since Sect Master Ning and the others are alright, then I... am certainly alright too!

Thinking of this, Xue Ye's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally settled back into his stomach.

Without a second thought, he immediately led his group of officials and princes, who were nearly paralyzed with fear, towards Ning Fengzhi's table.

"Sect Master Ning, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"

Xue Ye grasped Ning Fengzhi's hand tightly, his face filled with the excitement of "seeing a relative."

However, after the initial excitement, an indescribable sense of grievance welled up inside me.

Even the voice of the Xue Ye carried a hint of sobbing.

"Sect Master Ning, you have no idea how short the distance is from the Pope Palace to here."

"How many outrageous things have I... just gone through?!"

He pointed towards the door, his voice trembling.

"I first encountered a beggar, but it turned out he was a Title Douluo!"

He pointed in the direction of the garbage heap, looking utterly bewildered.

Then a woman came out and threw that Title Douluo away like trash!

Finally, he pointed to Spirit Kite Douluo, who had just ordered his food and was eagerly waiting for it to be served.

"And just now! You all saw it, didn't you? I ran into another Title Douluo sleeping on the ground!"

"How come they have so many Title Douluo? Sect Master Ning, you be the judge, what... what kind of mess is this?!"

Ning Fengzhi listened to Xue Ye's tearful accusations, his gentle smile became somewhat stiff.

As he listened, he subconsciously picked up his teacup and took a sip, trying to ease his embarrassment with the warmth of the tea.

Your Majesty, we experienced what you described when we first arrived.

You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it.

Then Xue Ye suddenly remembered something, raised her head abruptly, and grabbed Ning Fengzhi's arm tightly, with such force that she almost crushed his bones.

"Sect Master Ning!"

"I... I remember!"

"You promised me you would come to Spirit City to demand an explanation for my Heaven Dou Empire, didn't you?"

But now you...

Xue Ye's finger trembled as he pointed to a table not far away, his voice distorted.

"That's Bone Douluo, isn't it?!"

"How come he's arm in arm with that Demon Bear Douluo from the Spirit Hall?!"

Ning Fengzhi's gentle and refined smile froze completely.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but couldn't utter a single word.

His gaze unconsciously swept over the spotless soup bowl in front of him, then fell upon the face of Xue Ye, contorted with rage, and a wave of unease washed over him.

How do you explain this?

They said we originally wanted to get an explanation, but the food was so delicious and the raffle was so enticing that we forgot?

He couldn't bring himself to say that!

"His Majesty..."

Ning Fengzhi spoke with difficulty, his voice dry.

"The ins and outs of this matter cannot be explained in just a few words... it's really too complicated to explain in a few words."

He looked at Xue Ye, who was on the verge of exploding, and his survival instinct made him subconsciously point to the empty seat next to him.

"Why don't you...?"

"Shall we order a couple of dishes first?"
