The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 670: Desire is Insatiable (Additional Update)
Isolated mountain on an island.

In the deep cave, Hua Manlou sat on a stone bench.

As he was blind, there shouldn't be any candles around him, but now there were several candles.

Because Shangguan Feiyan was sitting in front of him.

The beautiful girl who had tricked him from Jiangnan to the outside of the Great Wall now had a face full of hatred.

The object of her anger was not the Hua Man Lou in front of her.
Not to mention Li Chaofeng, who exposed the Jinpeng Dynasty's conspiracy and forced them to escape from the palace.

But it was Shangguan Danfeng who had already ascended the throne as queen.

Looking at Hua Manlou who was sipping tea with his head down, Shangguan Feiyan also crossed her feet, looked at the red embroidered shoes on her feet, and complained.

"How is that woman better than me? Just because her father is King Jinpeng, I have to obey her orders for the rest of my life?"

Listening to Shangguan Feiyan's complaints, Hua Manlou also spoke softly.

"With Miss Feiyan's martial arts and scheming, she can travel the world on her own without having to listen to anyone's orders."

Shangguan Feiyan raised her eyebrows: "Are you implying that I'm barbaric and cunning?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and explained: "Lord Dragon God once said that people are born free, and it is the same when they come and go."

"Miss Feiyan is skilled in martial arts and is very intelligent. As long as she goes to Jiangnan, she can live well on her own. Naturally, she doesn't need to obey orders from others."

After listening to Hua Manlou's explanation, Shangguan Feiyan did not continue to pester him, but just sneered.

"Jiangnan is indeed prosperous, and it's easy to make money to support yourself, but everyone is doing the same thing over and over again every day. I don't want to live such a boring life."

Hua Manlou asked with a smile: "Isn't your life boring now, girl?"

Shangguan Feiyan was stunned. She turned around and saw Hua Manlou's smile, and her eyebrows raised.

"I'm not bored at all. I just don't like Shangguan Danfeng."

"Besides, I'm watching you for her, so can't I complain a little?"

Hua Manlou listened to the persistence in Shangguan Feiyan's tone and shook his head slightly, then tried to persuade her again.

"Only those who have no desires can have no demands. Those who have desires should understand what their hearts desire and also know where their own interests lie."

“He who benefits himself and others will gain justice for the public good.”

"Those who harm others to benefit themselves are evil even if they are good."

"Those who harm others and themselves are extremely foolish."

"If Miss Feiyan cannot understand what she wants in her heart, I am afraid she will be lost in confusion for the rest of her life.

Listening to Hua Manlou's persuasion, Shangguan Feiyan suddenly became anxious. After thinking for a moment, she also asked with a smile.

"So what is it that you, the Seventh Young Master, desire in your heart?"

When Hua Manlou heard Shangguan Feiyan bring the topic to himself, he was also slightly stunned.

Seeing Hua Manlou's silence, Shangguan Feiyan asked proudly.

"You were born rich, have superb martial arts skills, and have read many books, so you understand all kinds of principles."

"Can you really understand the pain of a person who was born inferior to others?"

Hearing the question, Hua Manlou became more silent, and Shangguan Feiyan pressed on.

"Come on, weren't you quite talkative just now?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Hua Manlou also reminded softly.

"Miss Feiyan, Hua Manlou is a blind man."

"Although Hua's blindness is not innate, Hua Manlou still understands the concept of being inferior to others."

Shangguan Feiyan was stunned when she heard Hua Manlou's reminder.
Under the candlelight, Hua Manlou's slightly pale eyes were difficult to see clearly.

And all his actions were like those of a normal person.

Shangguan Feiyan was so upset that she forgot that Hua Manlou was a blind man.

If they did not know that Hua Manlou was a blind man, many people would find it difficult to conclude that Hua Manlou was a blind man.

Shangguan Feiyan, who had nothing to say, suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore
Maybe she should leave.

Anyway, she would not be left with nowhere to go after leaving the Jinpeng Dynasty.

Because she was wearing a pair of red shoes.

These are Grandma Bear’s red shoes.

They are also Gongsun Da Niang's red shoes.

But there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, and Shangguan Feiyan also looked towards the cave entrance.

Shangguan Danfeng, wearing the Golden Roc King's robe, had appeared in front of her. Seeing Shangguan Danfeng, Shangguan Feiyan's mind, which had been calmed down by Hua Manlou's words, suddenly became violent.

This is the person Shangguan Feiyan is most familiar with, and also the person Shangguan Feiyan hates the most.

Following behind her was a man, who was Huo Tianqing, the man who killed Yan Tieshan personally.

After Yan Tieshan died, all the wealth in the Jewelry Pavilion went to Huo Tianqing.

Huo Xiu's Qingyi Tower had long since fallen into Shangguan Jin's hands.

There is money in the Jewelry Pavilion and there are people in the Qingyi Tower.

The foundation for national restoration has been established.

But Dugu Yihe, one of the three ministers, is still alive.

As the leader of Emei, Dugu Yihe has neither money nor connections.

But he is a close friend of Yan Tieshan and Huo Xiu.

The 'Sword and Knife Double Kill 7749 Styles' was so powerful in the martial arts world that Huo Tianqing, the "head" of the Tianqin sect, could not resist it.

Even if Shangguan Jin and Huo Tianqing attacked together, it would not work.

So they had no choice but to escape, and by chance, they reunited with the Qinglong Society.

Shangguan Danfeng is devoted to restoring his country, Huo Tianqing wants to revive the prestige of the Tianqin faction, and the Qinglong Society only wants money.

The Qinglong Society promised them that as long as they killed Bai Yujing, the Qinglong Society would help them fight the battle to restore the Jinpeng Kingdom.

The condition is that the Qinglong Society must establish its headquarters in Jinpeng King City, and merchants passing by must pay protection fees to the Qinglong Society.

This has never been a big deal to Shangguan Danfeng.

Because now the Jinpeng Kingdom has nothing except a few royal families.

For Huo Tianqing, who wanted to rely on the territory of Jinpeng Kingdom to revive the Tianqin Sect, as long as the Qinglong Society stayed away from the underworld, the Tianqin Sect's reputation would be destroyed.

Where the headquarters is built is naturally none of his business.

The interests of the three parties are intertwined, but there is no conflict at all, so they naturally hit it off.

As for Shangguan Jin.
When Shangguan Danfeng brought Huo Tianqing and the third dragon leader of the Azure Dragon Society back to him, he only saw the domineering Queen Jinpeng.

That weak and helpless niece is long gone.

Faced with Huo Tianqing and the Qinglong Society, Shangguan Jin, who did not want to break off ties with the Jinpeng Dynasty, had no choice but to hand over the command of the Qingyi Tower.

He and Shangguan Feiyan became the only two "important ministers" of the Jinpeng Kingdom.

A couple of dogs and men
Shangguan Feiyan had a few words in her mind, she looked at Shangguan Danfeng with a frivolous look, and asked with a smile.

"The Queen and the King's Husband, instead of being affectionate in bed, actually have time to come to my little place?"

When Shangguan Danfeng heard Shangguan Feiyan's question, she frowned and spoke majestically.

"Fei Yan, don't be rude."

"Although this prince and Sect Leader Huo have a romantic relationship, we have not yet gotten married."

"It's too early to call him the king's husband at this time."

He did not refute the fact that the bed collapsed, but he refuted the name.
Shangguan Feiyan saw Huo Tianqing's face darken instantly and she also started to smile.

For an ambitious woman, being "Queen" is the greatest pursuit in life.

But the title of "Wang Fu" was a complete disgrace to Huo Tianqing, who was determined to revitalize his sect.

He is not a gigolo.

Seeing that Shangguan Feiyan was no longer fighting with him, Shangguan Danfeng looked at Hua Manlou and spoke politely.

"How have you been these days, Playboy?"

Hua Manlou sighed inwardly.

He is a hostage, and you should just treat him politely. You shouldn't be so polite.

When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.

Nodding slightly, Hua Manlou also asked.

"The Queen can speak frankly if she has anything to say."

Shangguan Danfeng smiled: "Young Master Hua is a man of few words, so I will speak directly."

Hua Manlou nodded: "I am all ears."

Shangguan Danfeng: "I wonder what Mr. Hua thinks of the Silk Road in the Western Regions?"
