Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 680: Perfect Plan!

"Him?" Cecile turned before she realized that Ivy was looking at her husband, "What does she want with him?"

Ivy sighed, "Apparently due to the kunpeng incident, the Alchemy Union unanimously agreed that we are hunters/the winner of the tournament from First Heaven, and Lyon is the leader of our group."

Cecile chuckled, "Well, he certainly looked like the leader of such, don't you think?"

"That's not the point," said Ivy before she drank the red wine. "She is looking for us because she wanted us to find an ingredient called Hundred Petals Flower."

"Hmm, sounds fancy," Cecile chuckled. "Why can't she just buy the ingredient herself, she is quite loaded."

"Because the Alchemy Union doesn't have it, obviously," said Ivy. "I have researched a bit that the said flower is located deep inside a really ancient cave with legends surrounding it."

Cecile chuckled, "You make it sound like a ghost story."

Ivy didn't bat an eye as she continued, "I wonder if he would accept the quest or not."

Cecile drank her wine before shaking her head, "Most likely not, but that really depends on how Anna approached him. The guy that was following her, if he acted out, well, you know how it goes with Lyon."

"Heh, I guess," Ivy smirked. "I just hope he didn't."

Cecile raised her brows, "That guy, Nit was it? It couldn't be your father, could it?"

Ivy shrugged, "I have no idea, but I have no attachment when I saw him then."

"Well, I guess, let's just hope that your mom doesn't fall for Lyon," jested Cecile.

"S-She won't!" Ivy was flustered. Not even her cultivation method manages to calm her down.

"Calm down, you never know," Cecile jested. "His charm is that dangerous, I wonder if he got it from his father."

"His… father?" Ivy furrowed her brows. "Cecile, who is he?"

"Huh?"

"Who is your husband? He came out of nowhere and then suddenly conquer the Mortal World. I've heard that he was first seen in the small kingdom in the lesser world called Deo."

Cecile smiled as she looked at the red wine reflecting her wry. "It's better that you don't know, Ivy."

Ivy squinted her eyes. "Is he not from the Mortal World?"

"He is, but you need not pry any further, the more you try to understand his existence the more you are tangled in something that you shouldn't, but, heh, it doesn't matter anyway," Cecile gulped down the entire glass.

"What's important right now, is what are you going to do with your situation, don't concern yourself with us, hehe," Cecile smirked before she left her.

"Hm?" Cecile raised her brow as she caught Tamuh took a glance at her and smiled. Cecile smiled back before sitting right beside Lyon. "So what did I miss?"

"A lot," said Lyon as he chuckled. "I miss drinking wine though."

Cecile chuckled. "You would flirt with every innocent alchemist girl then, oh the chaotic atmosphere, I can almost imagine it."

(What?) Tamuh raised his brows before he grinned. (Wine, that's the key! I was wondering where could I find beautiful women to match his standard, seeing he is being clamped with these two fairies. I see… I see…. hahaha! Wine! That's all it takes! I can just take a slightly beautiful woman then paired her with him).

Tamuh grabbed his drink before he gulped it down with a loud "Pwah!"

"Well, looks like this elder has hit his limit, I think I will hit the sack then, hahaha!" said Tamuh with a laugh.

"Eh? Elder Tamuh, you're done already?" said one of the alchemists.

"C'mon, elder, one more drink, this is very rare of you," said one of the adventures at the same table as him.

"Hahaha, please have mercy, it's been a rough night, I need to sleep," said Tamuh as he excused himself.

"Oh, young friend, I hope that you enjoy the evening in Alchemy Union as the rest of the days, we are looking forward to having you here, hahaha!" Tamuh left with laughter against the ceiling.

Lyon smiled and raised his glass.

As Tamuh went down the stairs he was grinning from ears to ears. (The puzzle is almost complete, now all I need is someone to sacrifice for the greater good! I mean, introducing him to a woman would not make me his friend, I can just, trap him then blackmailed him! He will be, no he must be my ally then! Hahaha! This is so easy! Getting the kunpeng's hunter is much more valuable than the kunpeng itself! Furthermore! I can pay him his service for less than half the price with the blackmail! GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!).

"Ah, good evening Elder Tamuh, are you ending the evening?"

"Hm?" Tamuh raised his brows, "Oh, Ark, yes, I was going to the Fourth Hall."

"Oh, then please excuse me standing in your way," Ark stepped away but Tamuh's brows furrowed before she smiled.

"Who are they?" asked Elder Tamuh.

"Oh, this is, this is my girlfriend Luvia, and her friend Jiji and Cyril," said Ark hastily.

"Good evening, Elder Tamuh!" the three women bowed.

"Hmm…" Elder Tamuh rubbed his chin. "Good evening to you too. Hmm… Jiji was it?"

"Y-Yes!" Jiji immediately sprung up and straightened her back. 

"Are you the one that almost died when that kunpeng fell from the sky?" asked Tamuh with a smile.

"Y-Yes, Elder, sorry!!" said Jiji nervously.

(I see! Perfect! Perfect! This is perfect!) said Tamuh inwardly. "I see, no need to apologize, it's already a miracle that you are safe and sound."

"T-Thank you!" said Jiji as she bowed.

"Hahaha, then I will be off, then," said Tamuh as he excused himself. (How can I forget about those three! They are perfect! Now then, the first step would be, to get his women out of the way for a while).

Meanwhile, Lyon sadly drank his water whilst the others enjoyed their liquor. "I feel like a kid in a pub!"
