Chapter 983: Courting death!

"Speak cautiously! Speak cautiously!"

A solemn voice began to reverberate in the private room.

Sun Chen smiled, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Third Uncle, I understand."

On the other side, several elders of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion came before Tie Xiaoqing, saying, "Miss Xiaoqing, an important guest has arrived; you must prepare seriously."

Tie Xiaoqing picked her ear, somewhat displeased.

These past few days, the elders of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion told her every day that important guests had arrived here and there, causing calluses to form on her ears.

She is the head cook of Venerable Lord Lu, not the head cook of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

She simply enjoys cooking, and moreover, Venerable Lord Lu is staying here to rest for a while, so she thought of cooking here.

How come the people of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion have become even more demanding, treating her as if she were a slave here.

"All right, all right, I understand."

Tie Xiaoqing waved her jade hand and said.

Several elders nodded satisfiedly, left the kitchen, and looking at Tie Xiaoqing's serious demeanor, lowered their voices and said, "Tie Xiaoqing's skill is certainly enough to astonish Young Master Sun Chen; he always likes stunning beauties, and if he specifically requests to see Tie Xiaoqing, how should we handle it?"

Another elder said, "Go ask the Pavilion Master."

Soon, the elders found Pavilion Master Wei Feng and told him their worries.

"Should we ask for the opinion of that white-robed man?"

Pavilion Master Wei Feng, however, waved his hand and said, "No need. If this person can use Tie Xiaoqing to connect with Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, that is already his blessing. If we intervene, using Tie Xiaoqing to gain cooperation with the Sun family, it will benefit him."

"I have already probed this person; he does not seem like a powerful person, nor does he have a significant background. Moreover, I secretly overheard Tie Xiaoqing's words; the Great Demon Spirit Meat they previously ate was only of the Sovereign Stage, indicating they are not a major force."

Several elders nodded.

Not bad.

The Sun family has long been influential in Azure Void Heaven; many major powers seek cooperation with them, eager to do so.

That white-robed man spends his days lounging lazily in the VIP room, doing nothing; at first glance he also lacks a significant background, but if he gains favor through Tie Xiaoqing, it would be like striking incense gold.

Not long after.

In Sun Chen's private room, several lovely young women continuously brought over steaming hot dishes.

Their figures were all front‑curved and back‑arched, with jade legs swaying, making Sun Chen unable to look away.

Each lovely young woman who passed by his side, he would reach out and grope fiercely.

"Young Master, you're annoying."

Sun Chen smiled, waited until all the dishes were served, and began to taste them.

Just a light sip, and Sun Chen felt utterly astonished.

Other members of the Sun family praised it without cease, eating heartily.

"Marvelous, marvelous!"

"What we ate before was basically shit!"

"Could the food of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion even be called food?"

Everyone ate with great delight.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Sun Chen rubbed his round, full belly and let out a lewd laugh.

As the saying goes, "When full, thoughts turn to lust"; he immediately wanted to see Tie Xiaoqing, and with a chuckle he said, "Having just eaten Tie Xiaoqing's dishes, now it's time to eat her."

Hearing from the elders of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion that Tie Xiaoqing's appearance was exceptional, not inferior to their courtesans, this fully aroused his interest, even stirring a lewd fire in his lower abdomen.

"Clap clap clap!"

Sun Chen clapped his hands; soon a lovely young attendant entered, and he said, "Go fetch Tie Xiaoqing!"

The lovely young woman replied, "All right, Young Master Sun!"

Soon, several elders came before Tie Xiaoqing, forced a smile, and said, "Master Tie Xiaoqing, the young master of the Sun family feels very satisfied and wishes to see you in person."

Tie Xiaoqing waved her jade hand, "No, no."

She was still studying recipes.

After all, she had firmly decided to become Venerable Lord Lu's little follower.

Moreover, over these years, her Way of Food has gained much insight.

Who says one must only fight and kill; the Way of Food is not bad either.

Furthermore, by staying beside Venerable Lord Lu, she subtly receives the influence of his Dao, benefiting greatly.

Meanwhile, seeing Tie Xiaoqing lower her head and ignore them, the elders immediately coaxed, "Isn't your master eager to learn some news about the Tomb of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable? This young master Sun is a descendant of Lord Sun Qinghou; he knows much undisclosed information."

Hearing this, Tie Xiaoqing raised her head.

She has always wanted to do something for Venerable Lord Lu.

Aside from cooking.

It is rare that Venerable Lord Lu is interested in that Tomb of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable; if she could learn more details from this young master Sun, wouldn't Venerable Lord Lu be pleased?

Thinking of this, Tie Xiaoqing said, "Then I'll go see him."

The several elders glanced at each other, all smiling.

This was entirely as expected.

Soon, Tie Xiaoqing was brought into Sun Chen's private room.

The door was closed.

Sun Chen's eyes stared straight at Tie Xiaoqing, continually scanning her; her figure was perfectly perfect, her features delicate, exuding an untouched pure beauty, with undulating peaks and valleys, giving a sense of a thousand‑mile vista; although she wore a dirty apron, it only added to the allure.

Tie Xiaoqing felt extremely uneasy under that gaze and asked, "Young Master Sun, the news about the Tomb of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable…"

Before she could finish, Sun Chen flashed a lecherous smile and said, "If you serve me well, I will tell you everything; if I am not mistaken, you are still a maiden, right…"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, about to grab Tie Xiaoqing.

Tie Xiaoqing's face drained of color, and he shouted loudly, "Lord Lu... Sir, save me!"

On her, a mark left by Lu Xuan was activated, directly countering Sun Chen's power.

At that moment, Lu Xuan was lying in Yan Chuang, reading a storybook, when he suddenly frowned, looked toward Tie Xiaoqing's direction, and sneered, "You dare move my little lackey? Courting death!"

Spatial power surged around him, enveloping Tie Xiongqiong not far away, and they vanished on the spot.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, Lu Xuan appeared directly in Sun Chen's private room, bringing Tie Xiaoqing with him.

"Lord Lu!"

Tie Xiaoqing, still shaken, immediately stood beside Lu Xuan.

Tie Xiongqiong, seeing everything, immediately guessed what was happening, and slashed a sword at Sun Chen, shouting, "You're asking for death!"

"Sss!"

A terrifying stellar sword aura blazed with divine splendor, cascading down upon Sun Chen.

Sun Chen snorted, "You dare call yourself a sword cultivator!"

He extended his right hand, and with an easy grip, he nullified Tie Xiongqiong's sword aura.

Sun Chen slowly rose to his feet, looked at Lu Xuan with contempt, then pointed at Tie Xiaoqing and said, "Sneaky and hiding, you dare not show your true face. Today I tell you, I'm taking Tie Xiaoqing away!"
