Chapter 2539: The Loyal Ox Ghost King

Xiao Fan: "???"

"Ox Ghost King, what are you doing?" Xiao Fan was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why the Ox Ghost King had arrived and immediately torn off his own leg.

It wasn't just Xiao Fan who was shocked; Yun Che, Yun Lou, Chu Feng, Zhao Wuji, and Ye Cang were also stunned. Each of them was both puzzled and surprised, unable to fathom what the Ox Ghost King intended to do.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard!"

The Ox Ghost King gritted his teeth and held his bloody ox leg high. "Your Majesty, please taste the flavor of our homeland…"

Xiao Fan: "…"

Zhao Wuji: "…"

Ye Cang: "…"

Everyone: "…"

They all understood now. They knew what the Ox Ghost King meant—he intended to treat them to a meal, just like the Red Spirit Dragon had done before.

"You… why do this?" Xiao Fan said, speechless. In truth, he had missed the taste of the Ox Ghost King upon seeing him this time… but since they were all subjects who had come from the Nine Provinces to the Hongtian Star Domain, Xiao Fan felt embarrassed.

Previously, the Red Spirit Dragon had also intended to cut off some meat for him to eat, but Xiao Fan had refused.

Moreover, there were so many delicacies here in the Hongtian Star Domain; why would Xiao Fan need to eat his Nine Provinces subjects?

Yet, this Ox Ghost King was just too direct…

"Your Majesty, this little ox fears that you have been working too hard. Please, eat some beef and nourish your body!" the Ox Ghost King said sadly.

Xiao Fan: "…"

"This… alright. Ox Ghost King, you are… truly loyal!" Xiao Fan didn't know what else to say to the Ox Ghost King.

But the Ox Ghost King's actions made Xiao Fan feel that this guy was quite decent.

At the very least, the Ox Ghost King's actions satisfied Xiao Fan. Even if the Ox Ghost King couldn't accomplish any major tasks, he could at least satisfy Xiao Fan's appetite.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!" the Ox Ghost King said excitedly.

"Zhao Wuji, give the Ox Ghost King some Medicinal Pill to take, quickly stop his bleeding!" Xiao Fan ordered.

"This… yes." Zhao Wuji looked dumbfounded, taking out a Medicinal Pill to feed the Ox Ghost King for no apparent reason.

He also couldn't understand why the Ox Ghost King was so valiant!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Lord Zhao!" the Ox Ghost King said excitedly. He felt that his future in the Nine Provinces would surely take off, and he would be deeply valued by Xiao Fan.

"It is fine, it is fine…" Xiao Fan nodded slowly, then looked at the fresh beef. "Do not waste it. Since it is your good intention, Ox Ghost King, I am embarrassed not to accept it. However, you are not allowed to do this in the future, do you understand?"

"Yes, yes… Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Ox Ghost King cupped his hands in a salute.

"Say no more…"

"…" Xiao Fan did not stand on ceremony and immediately stored the ox leg meat into his storage ring, intending to enjoy it with his family later.

Now that the Ox Ghost King was a powerhouse in the Hundred Elephant Realm, it was easy for him to regrow severed limbs. He immediately restored his legs and stood on the side with Yun Che, Yun Lou, and Chu Feng.

At this moment, the gazes that Chu Feng, Yun Che, and Yun Lou directed at the Ox Ghost King were extremely strange.

This guy was a lunatic!

Upon arriving at the main hall, he immediately broke off his own leg!

Seeing their surprised gazes, the Ox Ghost King bared his teeth in a smile… which immediately left them speechless.

… The Red Spirit Dragon was still welcoming those returning to the Nine Provinces.

"I wonder how that little ox calf is doing now…" the Red Spirit Dragon muttered, feeling somewhat guilty in his heart.

The Ox Ghost King treated him like a brother, but the Red Spirit Dragon treated him like an idiot!

Besides some old acquaintances from the Nine Provinces, there were also various experts from small and medium-sized powers arriving in the Nine Provinces one after another; they had all come to beg for forgiveness.

Back then, after Xiao Fan had fallen, the situation was chaotic, and the people of the Hongtian Star Domain were scattered. Naturally, many had ended up becoming slaves while wandering outside.

"Stop, who are you people?" The Red Spirit Dragon appeared aggressively, blocking two Liandao Realm powerhouses in front of him.

Although his strength was inferior to theirs, the Red Spirit Dragon was not afraid in the slightest. This was the Nine Provinces, the Nine Provinces where Xiao Fan presided; what did he have to fear?

"This, hello… We have come to pay respects to Xiao Fan." One of the Liandao Realm powerhouses said with a fawning smile.

"Hmph, is the great name of our Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces something you can just call out directly?!" the Red Spirit Dragon said with dissatisfaction, glaring at this person with an unkind expression.

"This… we were wrong, we were wrong. We have come to pay respects to Lord Xiao!" The two Liandao Realm powerhouses turned pale and immediately corrected themselves.

"That's better. Alright, go on in." The Red Spirit Dragon said with a cold expression, ordering someone to take them inside to see Xiao Fan.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, thank you…" The two Liandao Realm powerhouses thanked the Red Spirit Dragon with feigned gratitude, while in their hearts, they were cursing his ancestors down to the eighteenth generation!

When had they, these Liandao Realm powerhouses, ever suffered such indignity?

"Go on… Once you are in our Nine Provinces, don't wander around, do you understand?" the Red Spirit Dragon said with a majestic air, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Yes, yes, yes…" the two Liandao Realm powerhouses thought to themselves, would they dare to wander around?

Then they were led into the new Nine Provinces and sent to the Divine Palace to see Xiao Fan.
