NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1331: Old Friend
"What? Holy Medicine, why do you want that?" When Poppy found out Wang Dadong wanted the Holy Medicine, she was taken aback.
After all, it's extremely precious; even for her, the chances of obtaining it are slim.
"Just tell me if you can get it." Wang Dadong said.
"I can't," Poppy replied without a second thought.
Wang Dadong was surprised; he didn't expect even Poppy couldn't get the Holy Medicine.
Seeing Wang Dadong's expression, Mila knew the result might not be ideal, and a hint of disappointment showed in her beautiful big eyes.
Of course, she had anticipated this outcome long ago.
The help she was offering to Wang Dadong this time was indeed huge, but compared to the Holy Medicine, it seemed insignificant.
Moreover, Wang Dadong had given her a cultivation technique to counteract the backlash from the Sound Wave Technique.
"It's okay, I'll think of other ways," Mila said to Wang Dadong, then turned away sadly, ready to leave.
Since she couldn't get the Holy Medicine, she naturally had no reason to stay.
"Wait." Wang Dadong called out to Mila.
"Although my friend said she can't get the Holy Medicine, she can obtain its imitation, which she developed herself, with about one-tenth the effect of the Holy Medicine," Wang Dadong explained.
"Really?" Mila beamed with a hint of joy.
Even if it only has one-tenth the effect, it's still better than nothing.
"Yeah, but it might take about two days to arrive. Why don't you stay, and you can attend the princess's coronation ceremony?"
"Okay."
Watching Mila return to her room, Wang Dadong shook his head and headed to his own room.
As he opened the door, his expression changed slightly.
Inside his room stood two people.
A man and a woman.
With his keen sense of perception, if anyone were in his room, he could hear their heartbeat upon opening the door.
But upon entering, he hadn't detected anyone inside.
From that alone, it proved the depth of these two's cultivation was unfathomable!
They were most likely Saint Realm Powerhouses.
Saint Realm Powerhouses are very rare. In a small country like Lesotho, while not nonexistent, they are as rare as a phoenix's feather, yet two had appeared at once.
Clearly, these individuals had bad intentions.
"Close the door." The man looked coldly at Wang Dadong and said.
Wang Dadong narrowed his eyes, then closed the door and walked into the room.
"Do you know who we are?" The man continued, his tone filled with arrogance.
Wang Dadong ignored him, walked directly to the sofa, sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.
"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" The woman beside the man got a bit angry when Wang Dadong ignored him and said.
Wang Dadong raised his head, glanced at the woman, with a playful expression and said, "Should I know who you are?"
"Are you looking for death?" The woman got angry and was about to act, but the man stopped her.
He then said expressionlessly, "You may not need to know who we are, but your actions have violated the rules. We are here to judge you."
"Judge me?" Wang Dadong showed a mocking smile. Despite his power having regressed from the Hidden World to the Saint Realm, not any random two Saints could push him around.
However, from their attitudes and way of speaking, he roughly guessed their identity.
Dark Council!
These two were from the Dark Council.
In truth, Wang Dadong had been very low-key this time; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to gather information, he could just take out those opposing the princess.
But unexpectedly, he still caught the attention of the Dark Council.
"You really are everywhere." Wang Dadong blew out a smoke ring and looked at the woman with a playful expression.
"Don't think that being a Saint allows you to do whatever you want. As long as you break the rules, you will be judged all the same!" The woman glared at Wang Dadong coldly.
"Oh? So how do you plan to judge me?" Wang Dadong asked with a smile.
The woman took out something resembling an ancient imperial decree and started reading: "Lord of Hell, your interference in other nations and threats to their families have severely disrupted the balance of the mortal world. Hence, the following judgment on you..."
After reading the judgment, the woman turned to the man and said, "I'll handle the judgment on my own."
"Hmm, don't waste too much time." The man nodded to the woman and slowly left the room.
As soon as the man stepped out, Wang Dadong swiftly appeared in front of the woman...
"Stop, he hasn't gone far yet." Surprisingly, the woman didn't resist Wang Dadong and showed a teasing expression.
Wang Dadong instantly became serious from his mischievous demeanor and said, "My lady, please judge me!"
"As you wish!"
The woman briskly pushed Wang Dadong down...
An hour later, Wang Dadong was still yearning, but the woman pressed her hand against him, "I can't, there's no time. I have to leave in ten minutes."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dadong had to suppress the surging desire within him, despite his hand...
"Still so bad." The woman snorted.
"Old friend, how did you join the Dark Council?" Wang Dadong curiously asked.
"You've become the Lord of Hell; how is it strange for me to join the Dark Council? And don't call me old friend." The woman rolled her eyes at Wang Dadong.
"Why not?"
"No reason, just can't call me that!"
"Oh..."
Wang Dadong probably understood why she forbade him from calling her old friend.
Old friend, old buddy...
A few minutes later, the woman got out of bed.
"Alright, I have to go. Don't cause such a big scene next time. If someone comes again, it might not be me." The woman tidied her wispy bangs and then turned to leave the room.
