The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 615: Self-denial and Serving the Public
Looking at Hua Manlou's serious and solemn expression, Li Chaofeng showed a little helplessness on his face.

Li Chaofeng only kills two types of people.

One type is people who break the rules.

One type is the one who actively attacks you.

As for other people, no matter how much they make him angry, or even if they completely disrespect him, Li Chaofeng will not kill them.

This is the reason why Li Chaofeng still has a reputation for fairness even though his hands are covered in blood.

But...the Red Flame Dragon is the Red Flame Dragon, and Li Chaofeng is Li Chaofeng.

The Red Flame Dragon, whose mouth is the law of heaven, always enforces the law when killing someone.

But Li Chaofeng is just an ordinary person who has his own emotions and desires.

As the Red Flame Dragon, Li Chaofeng didn't dare to cross the line he set for himself.

Even though the Bi'an Dragon King has great prestige, he is still the Dragon King of the Shenlong Gang.

What Li Chaofeng was upholding were the gang rules of the Shenlong Gang, which had existed for a long time but had never been taken seriously.

But now the Red Flame Dragon no longer needs to follow the gang rules that have been in place for hundreds of years.

The rules he needed to follow also changed from the Shenlong Gang Rules to
Dragon Law.

As the law was established, the boundaries that Li Chaofeng set for himself also became stricter.

Liu Yunzhi did not kill Dugu Fang, and the self-defense ended.

Dugu Fang was convicted of attempted murder and was still in a coma.

Attempted murder is no longer a capital crime in the laws established by the Scarlet Flame Dragon.

But as an ordinary person, Li Chaofeng never likes that some people who threaten the safety of their loved ones can still live safely in the world.

Dugu Fang must die, but he cannot die at the hands of the Red Flame Dragon.

Shangguan Danfeng is not Li Chaofeng's subordinate, nor is she Li Chaofeng's friend. She doesn't even know Li Chaofeng.

The only person she knew was a Shanxi swordsman named Long Sanye.

Dugu Fang took the initiative to attack, causing the Jinpeng Dynasty to offend Long San, so Shangguan Danfeng killed him.

This kind of death, whether it is to maintain the dignity of the strong in the rules of the underworld, or to uphold the moral principles of monarch and ministers, is a matter of course.

But in the eyes of Jiangnan people, this does not conform to the rumors about Li Chaofeng.

We must obey the law!

Law enforcement must be strict!
Lu Xiaofeng had been in the martial arts world for many years, and Shangguan Danfeng would not feel sorry for the death of one of her subjects.

But Hua Manlou lives in Jiangnan, so he cares more about the passing of a life.

Hua Manlou’s face is now extremely red, but he still sticks to his original intention.

The questions he asked were too bold and too offensive.

In the feudal era, anyone could make mistakes, but the emperor was never wrong.

The emperor does not make mistakes.

Li Chaofeng, who is of the same status as the emperor, naturally would not make mistakes.

The Red Flame Dragon holds the divine law in his mouth.

The law is he, and he is the law.

Hua Man Lou's question is equivalent to using the law to restrain the Red Flame Dragon.
Once Li Chaofeng gets angry.

Not only will he die, but the Hua family will also pay a huge price because of his momentary impulse.

But Hua Manlou dared to say this not only because the legendary Red Flame Dragon did everything according to the law.

It was more about the confrontation between Lu Xiaofeng and Li Chaofeng just now.

Lu Xiaofeng wanted Li Chaofeng to recognize the emperor as the common ruler of the world.
If Li Chaofeng had a worse temper, or even crossed the line, Lu Xiaofeng would have died hundreds of times.

"I actually have a reputation, but I seem to have heard more jokes today?"

Li Chaofeng's sarcastic voice reached Hua Manlou's ears, making him feel relieved.

He made the right bet.

Raising his eyes slightly, Hua Manlou shook his head and refuted.

"Although in the eyes of some famous families, you are still a rebellious Red Flame Dragon Demon."

“But once you’ve lived in Jiangnan for a while, you’ll know one thing very clearly.”

"The hearts of the people of Jiangnan are on you. In the hearts of the people, you are the rightful master of the world."

Owner?

Li Chaofeng frowned, then looked at Hua Manlou with a frivolous tone.

"Who said I would become the master of the world?" "Ah?"

Hua Manlou's mind raced, but he quickly put his doubts aside and just asked.

"Since you don't care about your reputation and don't seek the unbreakable power of heaven, why do you force Shangguan Danfeng to kill Dugu Fang?"

"In the eyes of Lord Dragon God, is the life of a mortal so insignificant?"

Hearing Hua Manlou's questioning, Li Chaofeng laughed and then said lightly.

"Hua Manlou, I need to remind you that I only expressed my anger in front of Shangguan Danfeng."

"As for whether Shangguan Danfeng would kill Dugu Fang, it was always her own choice and had nothing to do with me."

Hua Manlou didn't quite understand what Li Chaofeng said and asked in confusion.

"What does it mean?"

Li Chaofeng explained confidently.

"Shangguan Danfeng can use gold, silver and jewelry to ease the anger of Long Sanye, or she can use a sincere apology to seek Long Sanye's forgiveness."

"But unfortunately, she chose to solve the problem in the least costly and most inhumane way."

"So it wasn't me who killed Dugu Fang, it was Shangguan Danfeng who killed Dugu Fang."

Hua Manlou frowned: "I'm afraid this statement won't convince me."

Li Chaofeng laughed: "But you didn't stop Shangguan Danfeng from killing people just now, did you?"

Hua Manlou looked up in horror, his voice trembling slightly.

"That's because you are the Dragon God, and Miss Liu is the daughter of the Dragon God."

"If you offend the emperor, you deserve to die."

Li Chaofeng reminded with a smile.

"My name is Long San, and I'm a swordsman."

"It was not until we left the Jinpeng Palace that you truly confirmed my identity."

"As for the law that those who offend the emperor should be put to death."

"It didn't happen in the past, it doesn't happen now, and it won't happen in the future."

Hua Manlou was silent. Dugu Fang's death was too normal in a world with order of hierarchy.

Even Hua Manlou didn't think that Dugu Fang, who attacked Liu Yunzhi, should survive.

But the premise of this "normality" is that Li Chaofeng is a true dragon emperor with "normal behavior".

If a princess is attacked, the attacker should die.

But what if this emperor is so heartless that he doesn’t even care about the relationship between father and daughter?
Hua Manlou wanted to fight for a relatively normal childhood for Liu Yunzhi, and also wanted to protect the cowardly princess's young heart.

Ultimately failed.

Because Li Chaofeng had already thought of the answer to deal with him from the beginning.

With a sad look on his face, Hua Manlou spoke in a low voice.

"I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

Li Chaofeng: "Hua Manlou, do you think you can stop Shangguan Danfeng from killing Dugu Fang?"

Hua Manlou: "Lord Dragon God, do you want to say that I can't change anything?"

Li Chaofeng did not deny Hua Manlou's statement, but explained coldly.

"The Jinpeng Dynasty has long been an empty shell, with no gold, silver or jewelry at all."

"Dugu Fang's martial arts skills are not high, and it is not worthy for Shangguan Danfeng to humble herself and apologize to me."

Hua Manlou understood Li Chaofeng's plan, and his already sad face became even more uncomfortable.

"So, the only thing she would do is to kill Dugu Fang."

Li Chaofeng smiled: "I gave Shangguan Danfeng a choice, but she was more willing to protect her fragile dignity than to save Dugu Fang's life."

Hua Manlou closed his eyes and then sighed.

Shangguan Danfeng was not protecting her own dignity, but protecting the dignity of the Jinpeng Dynasty.

Before leaving the Jinpeng Palace, Li Chaofeng almost had the words "I don't respect the Jinpeng Dynasty" written on his face.

The Red Flame Dragon would certainly not respect a king who had lost his country.

But Shangguan Danfeng only saw a swordsman.

Therefore, rather than apologizing, she would rather demonstrate the majesty of the monarchy of a declining dynasty.
