Chapter 222: What Is The Fire Emperor Eating?

"Where is he?" The Fire Emperor was stumped and was at a lost for words.
A strange bad feeling started to take over his body. He swept his gaze over everyone present but was unable to find any traces of Xu Que!
"Where is he? Where is that little bastard?" The Fire Emperor bellowed while he’s on the verge of going mad and thoroughly losing his mind!
He had painstakingly suffered in silence, wasted countless of Emperor’s Energy, and at the last moment, stepped into this cultivation stage, all just so he could take his revenge and hang Xu Que up to be killed!
But now, Xu Que was gone and even left behind a huge pile of shit?
"Pffff!" The Fire Emperor’s face turned white on the spot. He was so furious that he abruptly raised his head and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Everything had been for nothing. He was completely humiliated. The palace was destroyed. The Jade Seal was destroyed. Even the invaluable Emperor’s Energy had been for nothing and wasted!
Xu Que, fuck your ancestors!
The Fire Emperor was extremely furious. He was truly about to go mad.
After having just spurted out a mouthful of blood, his chest felt tight again and he could not help but spurt out another mouthful of hot blood!
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan were both utterly stunned and dumbstruck.
That scoundrel… What kind of person is he? Peeing and shitting everywhere he pleases? And actually leaving a few pieces of shit behind?
Furthermore, how did he do it? He actually vanished right in front of so many people!
"Quick, those are Heavenly Explosion Faction’s treasures. They are not feces but smelly tofu that can increase ones’ soul strength. Quick, follow me to get them!" The elder from Sky Incense Valley suddenly cried out in alarm, staring intently at the pieces of black feces inside the throne room. In a flash, he flew quickly into the throne room.
Smelly tofu?
Everyone present were startled upon hearing his words. Then immediately recovered their senses and were unable to stay calm after realizing what it was.
Previously, they had all seen the Sky Incense Valley elders scrambling over the feces that got broken into pieces and Xu Que actually praised him and said that he had good taste. As such, everyone had been wondering what these feces were.
Now, upon seeing this elder rush forward and excitedly let slip on what it was, everyone reacted promptly.
So this wasn’t feces, but was actually smelly tofu!
Moreover, it was a smelly tofu that can increase soul strength. Fuck me! Why does this Heavenly Explosion Faction have so many strangely powerful items? First, the God Powered Cannons. Now, it’s this smelly tofu!
"We can’t let that treasure get hogged by Sky Incense Valley again. We must have them as well!"
"I knew it. No wonder the Sky Incense Valley elder was so anxious. It was because these are treasures that can increase soul strength!"
"Quick, snatch them first!"
In a short while, a lot of the cultivators were flocking forward!
The Fire Emperor heard the hubbub too and immediately thought of the earlier actions of the elder from Sky Incense Valley. Furthermore, based on the reports which he received, Hua Wu Que from Heavenly Explosion Faction had also made some smelly tofu at the Contest Area that could increase a cultivator’s soul strength!
With that, the Fire Emperor could no longer be bothered about Xu Que’s whereabouts. Releasing majestic immense pressure, he yelled in a thunderous voice, "Impudence!"
"Woosh!"
In an instant, everyone were suppressed. Even the elder from Sky Incense Valley who was at the Infant Transformation Stage suddenly became sluggish and pale-faced, afraid of taking another step!
Fire Emperor’s Void Refining Stage was too strong!
"This is still my palace. Everything here belongs to me!"
Having said that, the Fire Emperor waved his hand and the few pieces of black feces rose into the air, emitting wisps of white smoke and smelly odor, and flew towards his hand.
During the battle with Xu Que, the Fire Emperor kept getting hit by the jade seal and fainted countless of times, injuring his soul. To think that now, he has this smelly tofu that can restore the spirit and even increase soul strength, he certainly had to give it a shot!
At that point, the Fire Emperor picked out one piece of feces and wrinkled his brows, unable to endure the strange stink.
However, based on the intelligence, the smellier the tofu is, the better tasting it will be. Also, it may smell stinky but it actually tastes good!
Furthermore, the words of the elder from Sky Incense Valley had affirmed this. Fire Emperor then opened his mouth and stuffed the feces into his mouth.
"Chi!" After taking a bite, the Fire Emperor’s mouth was flooded with a wave of stink.
He frowned. This isn’t right. The texture is too ordinary and it is nowhere as tasty as the intelligence described. There is no chew to it, nor the fresh and tasty sensation of juice bursting in the mouth.
What’s going on?
Were the reports wrong? Or was this a different kind of smelly tofu?
"Eh?"
At this moment, the elder from Sky Incense Valley smelt it and was bewildered. "Strange. The smell doesn’t seem right. It’s different from the smelly tofu that Water Emperor gave us previously!"
Fire Emperor frowned again because he did not feel his soul strength restoring after taking the mouthful.
"Oh, this smell seems familiar!" said a rogue cultivator abruptly with a look of deep thinking.
"Isn’t it smelly tofu?" everyone turned towards the rogue cultivator.
"I remember now!" the rogue cultivator’s eyes brightened as he took something out of his storage ring.
It was also a black pile but had already solidified and dried up and was now very light!
"This is the Split Bone Tiger’s feces. I am an Alchemist and I often collect the feces of certain beasts as they can be used as herbs. Surprisingly, the smell of this smelly tofu is so similar to the Split Bone Tiger’s feces!" the rogue cultivator exclaimed.
The elder from Sky Incense Valley shook his head. "This isn’t right. The smelly tofu doesn’t smell like this. Look at this small piece of smelly tofu that I collected previously. Smell it. It smells nothing like the Split Bone Tiger’s feces!" At that, the elder took out a few pieces of smelly tofu from his storage ring!
Everyone took a sniff. The smell was indeed different!
Oh, wait. If it isn’t smelly tofu, then what did the Fire Emperor eat?
Everyone were startled. They stared blankly at the Split Bone Tiger’s feces in the hands of the rogue cultivator, then at the black "smelly tofu" in the hands and the corners of the mouth of the Fire Emperor.
Two different smells and yet looked exactly the same!
What the Fire Emperor ate was shit! It was fresh shit! A beast’s shit!
"Sssssh~"
At that moment, a breeze blew by and the whole place was in silence.
…
Meanwhile, Xu Que was transported out to the wild, mountainous region outside the Imperial City by the Divine Escape Emblem. In fact, he happened to land exactly in the eastern suburbs, not far from Fire Nation’s Imperial Tombs!
In his mind, the beeps from the system kept coming!
"Ding! Congratulations to ‘host’ Xu Que for successfully acting tough. The reward is 80 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to ‘host’ Xu Que for successfully acting tough. The reward is 120 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to ‘host’ Xu Que for successfully acting tough. The reward is 140 act tough points!"
With that, within one afternoon, Xu Que received a total of almost 2,000 act tough points. Although he didn’t successfully kill the Fire Emperor, he really made a huge profit this time!
Furthermore, he had killed a General of the Infant Transformation Stage, as well as a hundred over imperial guards. Xu Que’s experience points had been rising and he rose straight to Original Infant Stage Level 8!
This means that as of now, he was only two cultivation stages away from the Infant Transformation Stage!
"Hehe… Dog emperor, I will just humiliate you for today. In the future I will be back to deal with all of you! System, come out."
Xu Que’s mood was good as he called out the system. He took out the map of the tomb which Zi Xuan had given him, and asked, "System, help me to check. How can I get into the tomb based on this map? The hunger of my broadsword can’t hardly be resist any longer!"
"Ding! System was unable to find a precise route. The host can purchase relevant items related to "tombs" and find your own way around!" The system replied coldly.
"What? You want me to buy something again? Fuck, I asked for your help to think of some ideas and yet you want me to buy something? You’re clearly bullying an honest man!" Xu Que ridiculed and scoffed at the system, knowing that the system wouldn’t be able to come up with any good recommendations anyway.
After all this was robbing a tomb… digging up another man’s ancestral tomb... it can’t be that I have to buy a Luo Yang shovel? What a joke. Even if I bought a Luo Yang shovel, I would not know how to use it!
(T/N : A Luo Yang Shovel is used for excavation)
Following the system’s beep, the system store’s interface appeared before his eyes. He then realized that there were many new items which were released at the same time as cigarettes and beers.
Xu Que didn’t have time to check those out earlier and now the system was automatically recommending these items to him.
Xu Que looked clearly at all the various items spread out before him and was startled, "Fuck, for real? System, are you trying to defy the heavens with these recommendations? Those are insane!"
