156: Wang Ling

“Uh…” The Bearded Man wanted to scream from the electric shock, but he felt his whole body go numb and stiff, unable to make a sound.

“Hm?”

The other three soldiers following behind the Bearded Man didn’t know what was happening when they saw this situation.

“Look, the captain’s head is smoking!”

Just then, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly noticed wisps of white smoke rising from the Bearded Man’s head.

“What’s going on?” Another soldier scratched his head in confusion at the sight.

“Are you playing tricks? Quickly release our captain!”

The last soldier suddenly drew his blade and pointed it at Wei Xun, seemingly having figured out the anomaly.

Wei Xun smiled slightly, then released his grip on the Bearded Man.

“How was it? Opportunities for free electrotherapy like this don’t come often!”

“You…you…” After being released, the Bearded Man finally felt his senses return, but a numbing sensation still lingered throughout his body, preventing him from moving or speaking.

“Alright, waiter, serve the dishes quickly!” Wei Xun rubbed his rumbling stomach, only wanting to eat a mouthful of fragrant food as soon as possible.

“Serve the dishes…” The waiter glanced at the Bearded Man, who looked like he had polio, and was at a loss.

“F-fight him!” The Bearded Man glared at Wei Xun, using all his strength to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

Upon hearing this command, the other three soldiers immediately drew their blades and lunged at Wei Xun.

But Wei Xun raised his palm, immediately intimidating the three soldiers who were about to attack.

“Royal Decree!”

The soldiers stared at the pure gold token in Wei Xun’s hand, engraved with a large ‘Wang’ character, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

This token was precisely the one Wang Tianchi had given him before, and he hadn’t intended to use it so early.

But in the current situation, he had no choice but to take it out.

“You recognize it?” Wei Xun smiled slightly at the soldiers: “I thought it wouldn’t work!”

“You…how could you have a Royal Decree!” The Bearded Man finally recovered from his paralysis, trembling in surprise as he looked at the golden token in Wei Xun’s hand.

“Why can’t I have it?” Wei Xun rolled his eyes at the Bearded Man, then said, “Get away from my table, don’t disturb me while I’m eating.”

The other diners around them were also astonished at the sight.

Then, one by one, they began to whisper.

“This Royal Decree of yours couldn’t be fake or stolen, could it!”

Although the Bearded Man didn’t want to admit it, he still couldn’t control himself from standing up from his stool and stepping back.

“Roll further away!” Wei Xun glanced at the Bearded Man and said, “You’re too ugly, you’re affecting my appetite.”

“This…let’s go!” The Bearded Man looked at the chattering diners around him and could only turn and walk out of the restaurant.

Watching the four Black Armored Guards leave, Wei Xun finally put away the token.

“Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Serve the dishes!” Wei Xun looked at the stunned waiter and had to urge him.

“Yes, yes, yes!” After the waiter came back to his senses, he immediately turned and ran to the kitchen.

With the Royal Decree’s backing, the waiter’s speed in serving dishes increased significantly, and the restaurant owner even specially sent Wei Xun a pot of good wine to taste.

The other diners around also dared not look this way anymore, each burying their heads in their food.

“Is this token really that intimidating?” Wei Xun ate his food and drank his wine, and while no one was looking, he slipped a few pieces of meat to Si Niang, who had poked her head out from his embrace.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, Wei Xun waved his hand: “Waiter, check please!”

Hearing the call, the waiter happily ran over: “Sir, our boss said this meal is on him, no need to pay.”

“How can that be!” Wei Xun shook his head, then took out a gold ingot from his embrace and placed it on the table: “Is this enough?”

“The boss said no need to pay!” The waiter was a little flustered.

“I never eat free meals!” Wei Xun said, then stood up and left.

The waiter dared not stop him, so he could only take the gold from the table and turn to hand it to the boss at the counter.

After leaving the restaurant, Wei Xun began to search for the location of the alchemy hall in the city.

Si Niang’s bloodlust was slowly becoming more severe, and the amount of blood she needed daily also began to increase.

If it wasn’t cured soon, he wouldn’t have that much blood to give Si Niang to drink.

However, after asking a few passersby, Wei Xun discovered that the alchemy hall was in the Royal City.

In Qian Yuan City, all alchemists were recruited by the City Lord to serve under him.

This meant that to enter the alchemy hall, one must first enter the Royal City.

“I still have to see Wang Tianchi first!” Wei Xun hadn’t been in such a hurry to find him, but now it seemed he had no choice but to find him first.

According to the method Wang Tianchi had mentioned before, to find him, one only needed to take the token he gave and find any soldier to report.

So Wei Xun found another squad of soldiers in black armor on the street; they were a team of four, patrolling the street in a single file.

“Excuse me, wait a moment!”

Wei Xun stepped forward and blocked the Black Armored Guards’ path.

Seeing someone blocking their way, the leading Black Armored Guard immediately frowned: “You dare to block the Black Armored Guards on patrol? Are you looking for death, boy?”

“Are all you Black Armored Guards so ill-tempered?” Wei Xun was a bit speechless.

The people in the city seemed to be very afraid of the Black Armored Guards; whenever they appeared, the people around would deliberately keep their distance from them.

Especially when the Black Armored Guards patrolled the streets, the originally bustling streets would immediately clear a path for them as soon as they appeared.

“You’d better really have something important, otherwise I won’t be polite to you!” The leading Black Armored Guard frowned as he looked at Wei Xun, his right hand already silently resting on the hilt of his blade.

“I want you to report to Wang Tianchi, I have something to see him about!” Wei Xun said, then prepared to take out the token.

But before Wei Xun could take out the token, the leading Black Armored Guard suddenly burst into loud laughter: “Boy, your brain isn’t fried, is it? You actually want to see our Young Master Wang, who do you think you are…”

Before the Black Armored Guard could finish his sentence, Wei Xun had already taken the token into his hand.

Seeing Wei Xun take out the Royal Decree, the smile on the leading Black Armored Guard’s face directly froze, and he himself stood dumbfounded.

“What? Don’t recognize it?”

Wei Xun held the token and swayed it in front of the Black Armored Guard.

“Captain! It’s the Royal Decree!”

A Black Armored Guard behind him was the first to react, immediately reminding the leading Black Armored Guard.

“I f*cking know!” The leading Black Armored Guard turned back and yelled in a low voice, then turned to Wei Xun and immediately did a complete 180-degree change of expression.

“Sir, did you just say you wanted to see Young Master Wang Tianchi?”

“Yes!” Wei Xun nodded: “Go and report quickly! Just say I brought him what he wanted.”
