Chapter 168: Flirting
After saying that, Chu Luo pointed at the King’s seat.
In the next moment, the chair disappeared into thin air.
Bang! Before the King could react, he fell heavily to the ground.
The King’s face contorted in pain. One could only imagine how painful it was.
Just as the King was about to flare up, Li Yan said to Chu Luo insincerely, “Luoluo, don’t be naughty. Return the chair to His Majesty.”
Anya finally reacted and rushed to help the King. She asked anxiously, “Father, are you okay?”
Then, she looked at Chu Luo in displeasure. “How bold of you to treat my father like this!”
Chu Luo blinked. “Bold? I have bolder moves.”
With that, she waved her finger around the entire room. Under the shocked gazes of the King and Anya, the entire room became empty.
After a moment of silence, Anya became anxious. “Where did you take the furniture in my father’s room?”
The King suppressed the shock in his heart and stared at Chu Luo with his sharp eyes. “Who are you? How is it that you were able to make so many things vanish?”
Chu Luo looked at the two of them and smirked, but she didn’t answer them.
Li Yan glanced at Chu Luo and asked coldly, “Does His Majesty believe that we can cooperate with you now?”
The King paused and stared at Chu Luo. “Tell me first, who is she?”
“My wife.”
“Li, you’re lying. You’re obviously not married!”
“Anya, shut up!”
Chu Luo leaned closer to Li Yan’s arm and pinched it in dissatisfaction.
Li Yan tilted his head to look at her, the coldness in his eyes instantly retracting.
Chu Luo said with a tense face, “Who’s your wife?”
Li Yan said seriously, “You said it yourself.”
“How is that possible!” Chu Luo’s voice instantly rose. “How could I possibly have said such a thing!”
Looking at the two people “flirting” as if no one else was around, the King and Anya had mixed feelings.
In the end, Anya couldn’t help but growl at the two of them. “What time is it now? Can you two stop?”
Li Yan had mentioned a few times that the girl beside him was his wife. Anya already felt very hurt. To think the two of them were even flirting here!
Chu Luo turned around and looked at Anya. She narrowed her eyes and declared arrogantly, “I like it.”
Anya: “…”
The King looked at Chu Luo. He couldn’t believe that the girl in front of him was so capable. He cleared his throat and maintained his kingly demeanor. He ordered, “Return the items to their original positions in the room first.”
Li Yan knew that the King had relented. He gestured to Chu Luo. “Luoluo, make them come back.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo tapped her finger and everything in the room appeared.
The King and Anya were shocked again.
The King sat back and gestured for Li Yan and Chu Luo to sit.
After they sat down, he asked, “What method do you have to defeat that person, and… my queen…”
At this point, the King’s voice suddenly became a little tense. “Can you help me find my queen?”
When Anya heard this, she immediately sat up straight. A glint flickered across her eyes. “Father, you mean, Mother…”
“I don’t know,” the King said. “I’ve had my suspicions since the Queen stopped sleeping with me. I just didn’t have any evidence. Then I realized she wasn’t the Queen, but she found out. She threatened me with everyone in the castle, therefore I had to compromise.”
Anya looked furious. “I’m going to catch that woman!”
“Anya, sit properly.”
The King looked at Chu Luo and Li Yan.
“How do you suggest we should work together?”
Chu Luo didn’t know what Li Yan was planning, so she just looked at him.
Li Yan said, “We’ll be responsible for defeating that woman. You just have to agree not to make things difficult for my company.”
The King didn’t expect Li Yan’s request to be so simple and was about to agree.
Chu Luo added, “In the future, Blazing Glory will be exempted from paying tax.”
“Pfft…”
“Cough, cough…”
The King and Anya lost their composure at the same time.
One must know that Blazing Glory’s taxes in the US accounted for an astonishing portion of the country’s total taxes. If they were to be tax-exempted, how much would the country lose?
Li Yan glanced at the serious little thing who was demanding an exorbitant price and held her hand.
Chu Luo was about to pull her hand out when Li Yan said, “A 50% reduction will do.”
Chu Luo turned to look at him and wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction.
Li Yan said to her, “I’ll give you all the tax relief as pocket money in the future.”
“Li Yan, do you know what you’re talking about?” Anya couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “The tax that the Blazing Glory Corporation pays to this country is over 100 billion a year. How dare you ask for half a tax reduction!”
Li Yan’s gaze turned cold as he said in a low voice, “If you’re unwilling, my wife and I will leave immediately.”
With that, he pulled Chu Luo up.
“Wait.”
The King looked at the two of them, his face ashen, but he said, “As long as you get rid of that woman and get my wife back.”
Chu Luo said bluntly, “If your wife is dead, do you want me to go down and look for her?”
“How dare you!” the King and Anya shouted at the same time, their countenances changing drastically.
A sharp murderous aura emanated from Li Yan.
He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “If you dare to shout at my wife again, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
This was a blatant threat.
The King and Anya’s expressions were extremely ugly.
Chu Luo looked at the two of them and felt the energy approaching them. She kindly reminded them, “If I’m not wrong, your queen is about to come and find the King.”
“What?!”
The King immediately grabbed the armrest of his chair to prevent himself from losing his composure.
Anya immediately became furious.
Li Yan looked at their expressions and said calmly, “Luoluo fought with that woman just now and she escaped. I think she is here to vent her anger on you or ask you to do something.”
Veins could be seen on the King’s hand on the armrest. At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from outside.
Pa da! Pa da! Pa da!
Soon, footsteps approached the door.
Anya panicked. “Father, that woman is here. What should we do?”
Before the King ended up crushing the armrest of his chair, he gritted his teeth and said to Li Yan, “I agree to your request.”
Li Yan took out his phone and pressed the recording under the King’s furious gaze. He nodded at Chu Luo.
Before the King and Anya’s widened eyes, Chu Luo and Li Yan disappeared at the same time.
At the same time, the person outside the door had already walked to it and it was pushed open.
A beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties walked in gracefully.
The servant closed the door from the outside.
The fake Queen looked at the father-and-daughter duo and said with a smile, “So you haven’t rested.”
Without asking why they were still awake at this time or why Anya was still at the King’s place in the middle of the night, she walked over and sat beside the King.
The King used his gaze to suppress Anya, who was about to flare up, and asked the fake queen, “Queen, why are you in my bed-chamber at this time?”
“Your Majesty, we are husband and wife. Isn’t it normal for me to come here?” After saying that, the fake Queen raised her hand with black nail polish to touch the King’s hand.
The King didn’t change his expression.
Anya’s expression changed. She slammed the armrest of the chair beside her and stood up. She pointed at the fake Queen and shouted angrily, “You are not our mother. You fake thing, don’t touch my father.”
The fake Queen paused in her actions and her gentle expression turned stern. “Anya, you unfilial thing. To think I gave birth to you after ten months. How dare you say that about me?”
“Stop pretending, you fake.”
“Your Majesty, look at what our daughter has become.” The fake Queen covered her face and cried softly. “If outsiders found out that the respected princess of this country was so uneducated, what would be left of this royal family’s dignity?”
“You…”
“Anya, sit down.”
The King was very calm at this moment. He looked at the fake Queen and exuded the dignity of a ruler. He said, “You’re not my queen, so stop pretending.”
When the fake Queen heard this, she immediately put down her hand that was covering her face. There was no trace of tears in her eyes. Instead, she laughed unrestrainedly. After laughing, she said with a bored expression:
“How boring. I thought you would keep pretending, old thing.”
Hearing her say that about her father, Anya was furious. “How dare you say that about my father?”
The fake Queen glanced at her disdainfully and sneered. “Am I wrong? You’re an old man in your fifties. You should be secretly happy that I have lowered myself to be your queen.”
Just as the fake Queen finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the air. “You speak as if you are very young.”
The fake Queen’s expression changed drastically when she heard this voice.
“It’s you! You’re here!”
Chu Luo appeared and said with a smile, “Are you very surprised? I let you escape just now. Now, I can finish what I didn’t finish before.”
Without giving the fake Queen a chance to speak, she raised her wrist and shook the bracelet on it.
Amid the sound of the bracelet, a red light appeared and surrounded the fake Queen.
The fake Queen’s expression hardened. “You really think you can do anything to me?”
“Earth Demon, come out and pull her down!”
Thick black smoke crawled out from the ground, and the entire room fell into darkness.
Under the frightened expressions of the King and Anya, the black smoke slowly gathered into a terrifying magical beast.
The magical beast quickly turned into a monster over three meters tall. After an ear-piercing roar, it turned into black mist and swept towards Chu Luo.
Soon, Chu Luo was surrounded by the magical beast’s black mist.
The King and Anya’s expressions changed drastically.
“Hahahaha…” The fake Queen laughed proudly. After laughing, she turned to look at the King and Anya, who were sitting there with cold bodies, and said with a vicious expression, “How dare you ask people to deal with me! You deserve to die!”
