Chapter 121

clearly had human flesh and blood, human appearance, human body,

even spoke human language, performed human actions, and perhaps had human emotions,

but the feeling he gave Topaz was as if some terrifying god, larger than the universe itself, had been stuffed into a human skin.

She remembered,

remembered finding a nest of ants in the backyard at home when she was a child.

At that time, the climate of her hometown had just recovered, and little Topaz was pleasantly surprised to see ants for the first time.

Those tiny black creatures were so fragile and panicked,

just a breath from little Topaz could scare them into fleeing in a panic.

It was just like the Emperor named Zhou Xuan just now; just by existing in this hall, he made everyone so terrified that even moving was difficult.

"I..... I... hahahahaha....."

Thinking that she had planned to win over this His Majesty Zhou Xuan at the banquet later,

Topaz felt a churning in her body, her internal organs cramping unbearably, and she leaned on the chair, gasping for breath.

Just at this moment, a hand was placed on Topaz's shoulder.

Topaz raised her head and saw Natasha's gentle eyes full of comfort.

Topaz could not help but feel gratitude, and the contradictions from just a moment ago were instantly thrown to the back of her mind.

"Miss Topaz, don't be afraid."

Natasha patted Topaz's shoulder gently and said in a soft whisper.

"I.... Sorry, Ms. Natasha, let you see a joke." Topaz took a deep breath and calmed her mood.

Natasha nodded gently and looked at Topaz with pity, saying: "Is it scary? That man..... that Emperor."

Topaz could not help but nod violently.

Just at this moment, Topaz noticed the thick pity in Natasha's eyes.

She could not help but feel somewhat confused. Why did Natasha's eyes carry such thick pity?

Natasha gently turned Topaz's chair, letting her look at the door of the inner hall.

Zhou Xuan had just left from there.

"The banquet is about to begin, you should also go to attend the banquet in the inner hall."

Natasha said full of pity:

"You must be strong, you can do it."

Topaz's smile stiffened.

She felt like she wanted to die right now.

"It's all your fault!!!!"

March 7th ran anxiously toward the distant Qliphoth Fort.

"It's all your fault for rummaging through trash cans and offending the local scavengers!"

"It caused us to be chased by homeless people for two or three hours, and we're almost late!!!"

March 7th looked at Stelle beside her, wanting to cry but having no tears.

She and Stelle were originally invited to attend the Solstice Festival banquet held in Belobog.

Bronya had arranged the highest-level seats in the inner hall for the two of them, to attend the banquet with the company representative and an emperor of the Star Sea Empire.

But Stelle rummaged through trash cans in the afternoon, angering the local homeless people who relied on scavenging for a living.

They were chased for an entire afternoon.

"But I, the great Galactic Baseballer, made them submit with my reputation!"

Stelle said while being dragged by March 7th, holding a flame lance in one hand and a golden trash can in the other.

"The golden trash can bestowed upon me by the great God of Trash Cans shocked their souls!"

"It was clearly because they saw the flame lance and knew you were the Trailblazer who saved Belobog!" March 7th said through gritted teeth.

"And the god who gave you the trash can, isn't he called 'End of Reincarnation'?!"

"How did it become the God of Trash Cans in your mouth?!"

"You don't know the true faith, the true insight!"

Stelle held the trash can high and said:

"All things will eventually return to the trash can, so the can is the end!"

"All things will be reborn in the can, so the can is reincarnation!"

"'End of Reincarnation' is the God of Trash Cans!".

115. 【Heaven is like a hat, the earth is like a covered disk】

Topaz's mentality was somewhat shattered.

She sat on the right side of the seat, while the Emperor of the Empire sat in the highest position.

Bronya sat between her and Zhou Xuan.

Logically speaking, this was a kind of disrespect to the company,

but Topaz was quite grateful for Bronya's arrangement, and even hoped that Bronya would push her seat further away, preferably to the hall or even the square.

Directly opposite Topaz were the two female companions brought by Zhou Xuan.

After seeing the face of the woman with the single-spiral pressurized hairstyle clearly, Topaz's face stiffened slightly again.

It was actually the Stellaron Hunter Silver Wolf, so was the girl next to Silver Wolf...

Topaz looked at the quiet girl sitting to the side. The girl noticed Topaz's gaze and nodded gently.

"Sam?" Topaz remembered the information in the Strategic Investment Department's intelligence library and muttered in a low voice.

Topaz rubbed her brow, leaned on the chair, and looked at the guests at this inner hall banquet.

His Majesty Zhou Xuan sat in the chief seat, Bronya was pouring wine for him, apologizing repeatedly for the late arrival of the Astral Express.

Seele from the Underworld, as Bronya's deputy and Underworld representative, sat in the first seat on Zhou Xuan's left.

She was whispering about games and such with Silver Wolf.

I really don't know why these two became familiar so quickly.

And Firefly was tasting the desserts served in advance bite by bite.

That was a bowl of frozen blueberries and strawberries, sprinkled with cream and cookie crumbs,

and there was also a dish of peaches boiled with lilies and butter, and a lemon cake covered with snow-white sugar frosting.

To dispel the greasiness, the drinks served were black tea and white wine.

Topaz took a deep breath, picked up a spoon, gently stirred the blueberries in the cream bowl, and stuffed a spoonful into her mouth.

So sweet, just like honey, Topaz thought in her heart,

and then she could not help but marvel at Bronya's propriety.

The intense sweetness could effectively relieve tense emotions,

making Topaz's mood relax a little.

"Have some baked apples."

Bronya noticed Topaz's nervousness and gently took a plate of freshly baked apples from a servant beside her.

Cinnamon was added to it, emitting an intense fragrance, making Topaz's nose twitch.

"His Majesty Zhou Xuan is actually a gentle and wise elder, no need to be so afraid."

Bronya said softly.

Topaz took the plate from her hand and gently dug a spoonful of the apple baked until soft and rotten...

"His Majesty wouldn't be..."

Topaz could not help but say in a low voice.

For some reason, she increasingly felt that His Majesty Zhou Xuan's voice was very similar to the voice of the Zaidiguo Society's emperor on the light screen.

Regarding Topaz's confusion, Bronya just shook her head at her: "If He is willing to let you know, you will naturally know, Miss Topaz."

This sentence was equivalent to half-defaulting to Topaz's guess. Topaz could not help but look at Zhou Xuan in terror, the silver spoon in her hand sliding off silently, making a crisp sound on the floor.

Zhou Xuan cast his gaze toward Topaz and smiled gently:

"This apple is baked very fragrant, the taste is rich and charming, apple and cinnamon are a perfect match."

"Don't waste it."
