Chapter 68 Kicked!
Chapter 68 Kicked!
“What did you see?” asked Mu Yixue to Ciel.
From his eyes, she thought he was planning something unpleasant for the man.
“There’s a key in his pants pocket,” Ciel replied.
“And I want it.”
“Don’t tell me you want to steal it? Ciel, remember your status, we people of the Ice Palace never steal.” Mu Yixue couldn’t help but reprimand him after listening to his wishes.
If it was the property of the people of the Ice Continent, they could still ask for it in exchange for compensation.
It was acceptable even if they were a little pushy because whether they liked it or not, the Ice Palace was the ruler of the Continent.
That others could live peacefully here without getting interference from outsiders and enjoy so many resources was because of the Ice Palace.
The case was different for outsiders. They had no ties to the Ice Continent. If the Ice Palace wanted something from the outsiders, they tended to avoid actions that would damage their reputation.
The problem was that Mu Yixue was sure the man would not hand over the key to Ciel because it must be very valuable considering Ciel wanted it.
Right after she gave advice to Ciel, the latter suddenly pointed his hand at the man.
“You,” he said, surprising the man because he never thought that the Ice Prince would greet him.
And actually, his impression of Ciel was not good either. Besides being jealous of his position, he had been influenced by Mei Ao with many bad words so that his way of thinking had become the same as Mei Ao.
“I lost a key yesterday, it was silver and had a dragon emblem, I can feel its aura in your pants pocket,” Ciel continued while the man was still confused.
And his mouth immediately opened wide when he heard Ciel’s words. 𝑜𝔳𝒍xt.𝗇𝓔t
Mei Ao even staggered back.
“What? This brat dares to hide an object that belongs to the Prince, brat quickly hand it over!” Suddenly a loud shout resounded from a certain corner.
An old man then jumped from there, landing right in front of the man.
He was actually the old man who gave Ciel the Monkey Wine yesterday evening.
He didn’t happen to be here, but had indeed come to see Ciel, more precisely to see Pegasus.
Many experts were curious about the Holy Beast, feeling that it was full of all sorts of mysteries, so they approached, hoping to gain enlightenment by seeing it.
The vintner, who had been sucking up to Ciel since they first met naturally couldn’t keep quiet when he heard that someone was hiding an object that belonged to the Ice Prince.
After landing in front of the man, the old man immediately grabbed his hand, as if he was catching a thief.
Without further ado, he thrust his hand into his pants pocket.
With ease, he retrieved the object in the pocket, and as he showed it to the people, they discovered that it was exactly the same as what Ciel had said, making them think everything was indeed as he had said, that he had lost a key.
If he had just spoken without saying the details, there would probably be people who thought that he was just making up a story to take something from someone else.
After retrieving the key, the old man jumped up beside Ciel.
Politely, he handed it to him.
“Prince, this is your key,” he said politely.
Only then did the man beside Mei Ao realize. His name was Hei Ling.
“This is Deceit,” he shouted.
He didn’t know what happened, how Ciel knew about the key, but how could it belong to Ciel while he got it somewhere else, not on the Ice Continent.
“Deceit? What do you mean?” Ciel asked as he picked up the key and looked at Hei Ling doubtfully.
“Eh!” While holding the key, he suddenly gained information, complete information about the key, from its origin to its use.
As it turned out, it was indeed something, to open the tomb of a Demigod equivalent to Isla. He was known as the Mountain King.
As for the location of the tomb, it was on the Holy Cloud Continent, a continent that could be considered very powerful as well because there was a God even if it was only a First Stage God.
After getting that information, Ciel decided to go there as he thought it would be an interesting adventure.
He smiled and then continued his words to Hei Ling, “or don’t you want to return this item of mine?”
“You?” Hei Ling opened his mouth, unsure of how to act.
He didn’t expect this prince to be so shameless.
Of course, as the young master of a great clan, he had also done that to those who were weaker.
At that time, he had felt nothing. Today that he was the victim, he felt nothing but anger.
At the same time, Mei Ao suddenly said, “Prince, that key was found by Hei Ling in the East Wind Continent, he came here and brought it because he wanted to offer cooperation with our Clan.”
Despite not liking Ciel, Mei Ao had no other choice but to speak politely to him or else the surrounding sycophants would beat him to a pulp.
Unfortunately, even when he spoke politely, there were still those who did not accept.
Mei Mei who was on top of her bear suddenly said, “if the prince says it’s his, that means it’s his, Mei Ao, don’t try to build a negative opinion.”
Scolded by his own cousin, Mei Ao froze, as if he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Get out of here,” Mei Mei added. And she didn’t just speak. Her bear suddenly moved, swinging its paw towards Mei Ao dah Hei Ling.
BANG!
They couldn’t dodge because the bear’s movements were too fast and its cultivation was too far above theirs.
After being kicked by it, they instantly flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye from the sight of Ciel and the others.
