Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Chapter 228 The Flower God Who Remembers Pain but Not Punishment

Zhang Kaiyuan, who was enjoying sex with his concubine, was not informed of this. When he woke up the next day, he found that his daughter and wife had disappeared. At the same time, Tianquanxing also sent people to his house, announcing that Zhang Kaiyuan had poor personal ethics, and removed him from his post and took back the mansion he had been granted.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the demons to report on their work after three years.

A total of five demon gods, Inazuma, Xumi, and Fontaine, once again came to Guili City.

The reason why there are five of them is because Lei Dianying has been staying in the Human King's Palace learning cooking from the Kitchen God and has never returned to Inazuma.

So when Lei Dianzhen arrived at the Human King’s Palace, the first thing he did was to look for his sister Lei Diandian.

In a special kitchen in the Human King's Palace, Lei Dianzhen saw his sister wearing an apron, holding the edge of the iron pan with a thick cloth in her left hand, and holding a spatula in her right hand, stirring continuously.

Lei Dianzhen waited quietly with a smile in his eyes. Soon, Lei Dianying poured the stir-fried vegetables in the pot onto the plate, then picked them up with chopsticks and took a bite. His frown relaxed slightly.

"It looks delicious, Aying, you have learned how to cook."

"Really?" Lei Dianying was stunned, then turned back to look at Lei Dianzhen, "Why are you here? Did something happen to Inazuma?"

Lei Dianzhen reached out and gently tapped Lei Dianzi's head: "Have you become stupid from studying cooking? Have you forgotten the report you have to give every three years?"

"Three years?" Lei Dianying was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "I thought you were the same as the Tree King... Time flies so fast. After three years, I have just learned this simplest stir-fried vegetable dish."

"Have you learned it?" Lei Dianzhen took the chopsticks from Lei Dianying's hand and tasted the vegetables prepared by the latter. "It's delicious. Congratulations, Aying."

Lei Dianying nodded: "Really, after learning how to stir-fry vegetables, I want to learn how to stir-fry meat slices."

Lei Dianzhen put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, I'll come back in three years. Maybe you'll have learned it too. By the way, what's the matter with you thinking I'm the same as the Tree King?"

"Not long ago, the Tree King failed to force the Red King's men to surrender because of his appeasement. As a result, forbidden knowledge broke out in the depths of the Sumeru Desert..." Lei Dianying briefly described what happened.

Lei Dianzhen's expression gradually became serious: "Who told you this?"

"It was the Flower Goddess. She was imprisoned in the Human King's Palace by Yongle and was not allowed to return to Xumi. She found me and told me that day." Lei Dianying recalled, "I chatted with her for a while. She thought that I was imprisoned in the Human King's Palace because I made a mistake like her, so she said that she hoped I could escape with her."

"You didn't agree!" Lei Dianzhen asked hurriedly.

"I didn't agree, because I came here to learn cooking, not to be imprisoned. After hearing this, she left without saying anything." Lei Dianying answered truthfully.

"This flower god has bad intentions." Lei Dianzhen said, "Aying, stay away from her in the future."

Lei Dianying nodded: "Ah Zhen, I understand."

----

"Tree King, I want to go back. Can you go and talk to the Human King?"

In another room, the Flower God prayed to the Tree King, "Without me, the Zhenling Clan will probably be in chaos."

The Tree King shook his head gently. "You have made such a big mistake. How could the Human King let you go back so soon? He will have to lock you up for at least ten or twenty years before he can let you go. As for your followers, the Zhenling Clan, they have already been taken in by the Demon God Orobas."

"What?" The Flower God was surprised, "What's going on?"

The Tree King explained: "Three months ago, the Human King issued a transfer order, ordering me to hand over your followers, the Zhenling clan, and my followers, the Lanaro clan, to the Demon God Orobas for training. He did not explain what exactly they were to do."

The Flower God was anxious: "Tree King, if he wants it, you will give it to him?"

The Tree King looked at the Flower God quietly and said, "Flower God, it's better to say less about this kind of thing. Do you know what the Human King said to me before I came to you?"

A bad premonition emerged in the Flower God's heart, and he only heard the Tree King sighing quietly: "He told me that the reason you are like this and refuse to surrender is not entirely for the Red King, but also to seek death. He will not let you die so easily. I hope you will be honest."

The flower god shuddered, and recalled the torture in the grove a year ago. Tears almost fell from her eyes: "I know."

"Alright." The Tree King hugged her gently, "Let's go. The Human King has already set up a banquet. The demon gods from the three regions and the four demon gods from Guili will all be there."

As night falls, the lights are on.

At the banquet in the Human King's Palace, the Emperor sat in the main seat, Zhu Yuncheng sat on his left, followed by Guizhong, the Kitchen God, and the demon gods Inazuma, Fontaine, and Xumi, a total of ten demon gods.

As the only human at the table, Zhu Yuncheng did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he talked to the demons frequently. The demons from the three regions listened carefully before answering and gave them detailed explanations.

"Tree King, since the Emperor killed Apep a year ago, how have you been managing the Xumi Desert?"

The Tree King replied: "Human King, I did not force those people living in the desert to return to live in Xumi City, nor did I force them to submit to me. I still allow them to be subjects of the Red King, and I will also provide them with material support from time to time."

Zhu Yuncheng didn't react much after hearing this. He was much more tolerant of humans than elemental life. "It's better to withdraw the material support. There is no shortage of minerals in the desert. You can let those people fend for themselves. If all else fails, you can hire them. Although I don't allow you to have an army in Xumi, you can hire some people who can use the elemental power of Red King technology to fight."

Although it took less than a year from the time Chi Wang came into contact with the forbidden knowledge to the time he was suppressed by Zhu Yuncheng, there is still Chi Wang technology similar to the one in the game circulating in the world. This makes Zhu Yuncheng feel very strange. After all, Chi Wang's purpose in coming into contact with the forbidden knowledge was to defeat the Emperor, not to benefit his people like in the game.

The Flower God interrupted: "Well, why did you let Orobas take away my followers, the Zhenling Clan, and the Flower God?"

Zhu Yuncheng looked at the flower god with a smile, and the latter shrank his neck and looked at Oropas.

The latter was also smiling at her. Just when the Flower God was confused, the voice of the Tree King rang in her ears: "The Human King didn't tell me what to do, and he won't tell you either."

The flower god was silent, then lowered his head.

The atmosphere began to become heavy, and time seemed to stop at this moment. The flower god could only hear his own heartbeat.

"Okay, Yongle, don't scare the Flower God. Zhen Ling is someone's relative, why don't you ask him?" Gui Zhong spoke up to rescue the Flower God.

Zhu Yuncheng immediately smiled and said, "Sister Guizhong is right. Actually, it's not a big deal for me to want the Zhenling Clan. I just want to train them for my own use."

"Those are my relatives!" The flower god was angry, but did not dare to speak.

The tree king frowned slightly, she had a premonition of something: "Human King, my followers Lanaro, they are kind-hearted by nature and will not do bad things."

"Don't worry." Zhu Yuncheng explained, "I won't force Lanaro to do anything they are unwilling to do."

The Tree King nodded slightly, then suddenly stood up and said, "Human King, I toast you a glass!"

Zhu Yuncheng immediately stood up, holding the cup with both hands. After seeing the Tree King drink it, he drank it too.

When the Flower God saw Zhu Yuncheng sitting down, he quickly stood up and said, "Human King, I want to toast you too!"

Zhu Yuncheng looked at the Flower God who was holding up the wine glass, and said nothing, leaving the latter frozen there. The Emperor frowned slightly, and just as he was about to get up, he saw Zhu Yuncheng standing up, clinking glasses with the Flower God, and then drinking it in one gulp.

The flower god is above and Zhu Yuncheng is below.

The Tree King sighed in his heart: "Flower God, you bastard who doesn't remember the pain of a beating, you think you are trying to deceive Morax and make the Human King angry with you, but in fact you are pushing yourself into a bottomless abyss!"
