Chapter 209 The Feast
Sky Tree Island, the vast plaza of the Flowing Clouds branch, where an endless sea of people still kneel, one of the three giants, a beautiful fox-woman with long, flowing cherry-pink hair draped in a semi-transparent pink gauze dress, and captivating pink fox-like eyes that seemed to hold hearts, smiled and said, "I've long heard that Envoy Eloi and Vice Minister Suk are husband and wife, but I didn't expect their relationship to be so good."
Eloi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was a little rude because I haven't been with my husband for so long." She was lying through her teeth.
However, the three leaders were all smart people, so of course they wouldn't bother with Eloi over such a trivial matter. They still needed to maintain a good relationship with Eloi, and besides, Eloi offered them a way out, so the three of them naturally accepted it.
"I understand, I understand." The plump man, dressed in a magnificent silver robe, with dark blue skin and a strange sun pattern between his brows, smiled in a way that instantly won one's favor. "The affection between the special envoy and his wife is truly enviable. Vice Minister Suk is also envious of having such a wife."
"I don't know who you are yet," Eloi asked deliberately.
"Let me introduce myself," the alluring woman said with a smile. "I am Fu Yan, the 'Phantom Marquis' who is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce." She then pointed to her companion beside her.
"He is Haifahe, the 'Marquis of Beimang' who is in charge of the military department." The giant in the scale armor robe, who was over eight meters tall, smiled and nodded, but he was very approachable.
"He is 'Sun Wheel Marquis' Banfona, who is in charge of the military." The obese man, dressed in a magnificent silver robe, with dark blue skin and a strange sun pattern between his eyebrows, also had a smile.
"So it's the three ministers. I'm new here and don't know much. Please cooperate with me in the future," Eloi nodded.
"rest assured."
"must."
"As long as the special envoy speaks up, everything is negotiable."
All three leaders were incredibly friendly and humble.
Aloy wasn't surprised by the current situation; when someone offers a gift, they must want something in return. Before taking office, Aloy had researched the position of the Inspectorate Envoy and knew what they feared.
She had no grudges against them, and as long as these three were willing to cooperate, she never intended to deliberately cause trouble for them.
She's still holding Suk's hand to this day, and the couple is openly showing their affection, while the three big shots seem to be collectively selectively blind, turning a blind eye to it all.
"And... this is my husband, Suk." The blue-haired girl took the hand of the man beside her, a captivating smile on her beautiful face, and said seemingly casually, "Please take good care of me in the future."
"That's natural."
"Deputy Minister Suk also has a bright future ahead of him."
"Deputy Commander Su has always worked diligently and responsibly in our Liuyun branch, making significant contributions to his position, and deserves to be commended."
The three leaders were incredibly enthusiastic and spoke highly of Suker.
Suk didn't speak, but glanced at the dignified and beautiful blue-haired girl beside him. For some reason, he had the illusion that he was being kept by someone. (From "The Domineering Envoy Falls in Love with Me")
As Suk's gaze swept over the hundreds of immortal gods, he suddenly noticed a woman in a magnificent fiery red robe with long, flame-colored hair, and couldn't help but be surprised. "Seven Dances of the Sea Harp?"
This woman...
It was the mysterious woman who had recruited Suk when he was in the killing field on Jialan Island.
When Qi Wu Haiqin saw Su Ke looking over, she smiled and gestured in a friendly manner.
Suk smiled and nodded slightly. Yes, he felt a bit like a dog relying on its master's power... like a fox borrowing the tiger's might.
"So it's immortality after all," Suk thought to himself with a slight sigh.
He had already guessed the true identity of Qiwu Haiqin, but he never expected that she was an immortal deity who had personally recruited him and Eloi. Now she had become Eloi's subordinate. The world is indeed unpredictable and mysterious.
After the hundreds of millions of middle and lower-level officials in charge of numerous star regions and hundreds of millions of star systems dispersed in an orderly manner, the three giants, along with the newly appointed Eloi and accompanied by hundreds of immortal gods, continued to explain the branch's operations to the special envoy. Suk should not have been present here according to his qualifications, but he was standing next to Eloi with the girl holding his hand, and no one raised any objections, which was taken as giving face to the special envoy.
Among the hundreds of immortal gods, there was one who seemed out of place: Urmit, a domain lord-level being. However, he had been silent since the beginning.
Inside the main palace of Sky Tree Island, Eloi was accompanied by three giants, "Phantom Marquis," "Northern Wilderness Marquis," and "Sun Wheel Marquis," and followed by hundreds of immortal gods, as they toured the important departments of the Flowing Cloud Branch.
When matters involving subordinate departments are involved, these senior executives are required to step forward immediately to explain.
Suk, who was just observing, soon got bored. Feeling the girl's soft, boneless hand holding his own, he couldn't help but secretly hook his finger around her smooth palm.
Eloi certainly sensed it, glanced back at him, and subtly pinched his cheek.
Suk became interested, looked around, and couldn't help but beckon again...
The couple secretly played a little game right under everyone's noses, seemingly oblivious to their presence, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The girl's cold and beautiful face maintained an indifferent expression throughout. The immortal gods and the three giants were completely unaware of how wicked the two were, and they didn't take them seriously at all.
As you go from department to department, you soon come across familiar faces.
"Seven Dances Sea Harp Maiden Land, long time no see." Eloi naturally recognized the old acquaintance long ago and nodded with a smile.
"It has been a long time. Your Highness is quite a surprise to see me again," Qi Wu Haiqin said with a smile.
Soon it was the turn of a young man with dark hair and silver hair.
"He is the executive director of our Liuyun branch, and also a genius from the Primordial Secret Realm, Urmit," the alluring woman in charge of the introduction said with a smile.
Urmit bowed slightly. "Greetings, Inspector." As a member of the Primordial Secret Realm, he shouldn't have needed to be so humble to Eloi of the Primordial Secret Realm. However, Eloi is now the Inspector, with a position equivalent to the Three Giants. Urmit's position is lower than the Three Giants and also lower than Eloi's. They are in a superior-subordinate relationship, so he can only bow.
"Hmm." Eloi simply nodded, showing no intention of further conversation. Although she harbored murderous intent towards Urmit, who dared to plot against her daughter, she wouldn't reveal her hostility at this moment to alert him. However, it was even more impossible for her to deliberately show goodwill towards Urmit.
The three giants beside them exchanged a secret glance, their eyes filled with a hint of amusement, as if they could sense the unusual and subtle atmosphere between the two. Urmit had the best chance of becoming the inspector of the Liuyun branch, but he was intercepted by Eloi halfway. Logically speaking, if they were Urmit, they wouldn't be happy either.
I wonder how much psychological trauma Urmit has suffered; I bet he's not feeling any better.
When these tasks were completed, the four leaders went into the palace lounge, while the others dispersed.
Meanwhile, Suk was stopped and talked to by many immortal gods. These immortal gods, who were usually high and mighty, were very enthusiastic about Suk, a genius whose status was lower than theirs.
After all, they were based in the Liuyun branch. If they offended someone and Su Ke whispered in the ear of the special envoy, and the special envoy investigated them, that would be terrible.
The black-armored, silver-haired youth Urmit, who was not far away, witnessed this scene. A dark glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. He silently turned and left.
Soon after, news spread that a new special envoy for the Liuyun branch had taken office and a welcome banquet would be held.
This was destined to be a grand feast for the highest levels of the entire Liuyun Universe Kingdom.
In an instant, the entire Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom was alarmed.
