Chapter 288: Rong Fu’s greed
The minister swallowed all his pride and begged him, seeing this Rong Fu felt even more happy as a grin spread over his face.
Putting an arm on his shoulder, Rong Fu spoke:
” As long as you know your place, just be careful and I’ll keep you as my pet dog. ”
The ministry could only bite his lip and nod in response, just then the front door of the house opened and a maid looked outside.
Just as she saw that it was Rong Fu who had come, she bowed respectfully fear evident in her eyes as she spoke:
” Sir please enter, mam is waiting for you inside. ” Rong Fu felt his heart filled with joy as he saw the fear in the maid’s eyes.
Then he walked inside, with the minister meekly following behind him, the maid closed the door after they entered.
Lao Rong was sitting on a chair while waiting for her husband to come home, she wasn’t feeling good just thinking that he was coming but she couldn’t say no to him, ever since he had broken through to the spirit Strengthening realm, he have become much more unbearable.
*STEP* *STEP* *STEP* *STEP*
Hearing the sound of foot steps, she looked up and saw Rong Fu walking inside the house with a big smile on his face, while an unknown man walked behind him.
” You have arrived. ” Lao Rong said, as she stood up and greeted both of them then she respectfully gestured for them to take seats.
Rong Fu was in a great mood, as he sat on the chair and spoke:
” Lao Rong, you are looking beautiful today. ”
She was stunned after receiving the sudden compliment but just nodded with a smile, for some reason she had a bad feeling about it all.
Then she asked the servants to bring water and some other snacks for them, soon the table in front of them was filled with various dishes, Rong Fu ate it with delight, he didn’t even ask the minister to join him.
After some time he finally looked up and spoke:
” I have a great news, I am going to become the personal knight for the king and will also receive a rank that will be only second to the king himself. ”
Lao Rong was surprised to hear it, she couldn’t understand why the king was suddenly so happy with him but she knew what kind of opportunity grabbing whore he is, so she just showed a fake excitement and spoke:
” Really? That’s such a great news, congratulations. ”
Rong Fu hummed a tune to himself and then as if remembering something he spoke:
” Oh right, I forgot to introduce my good friend here to you, meet him he is one of the ministers in the castle. ”
It was more of an insult than an introduction, still, the ministry maintained a smile and he nodded towards Lao Rong, who nodded in response with a smile.
” I have one more great news to share, but first tell me where is my dear daughter Xiao Rong. Is she outside? She had reached the sixth stage of the Core Formation realm, right? If she is here tell her to come meet me. ”
Lao Rong couldn’t understand why he was suddenly so interested in Xiao Rong whom he had only seen a few times, but she didn’t ask anything and just simply replied:
” No, she is probably cultivating inside, and yes she have reached that realm many days ago. I think she might break through to the next realm in some time ”
Hearing this Rong Fu laughed loudly, then he nodded in satisfaction and spoke:
” Hahahahaha, Tell my daughter to come out, I want to see her right now, actually this great news is related to her. ”
Lao Rong didn’t want her daughter to meet this disgusting man but she was powerless in front of him, and she didn’t think that he would stoop so low as to harm his own daughter so she asked a servant to bring her out, but after a thought she decided to go herself.
She walked in front of her door and knocked gently.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
After a few seconds, she heard a voice from inside. ” You can enter mother. ”
Lao Rong opened the door and found her daughter sitting on the bed with her legs cross, looking at her daughter in surprise she asked:
” How did you know it was me? ”
Xiao Rong smiled and said: ” Because I have just broken through to the seventh layer of the Core Formation realm, now I’m even stronger than you. ”
Lao Rong smiled at her daughter adoringly and with pride filled eyes, she Caressed her head and then spoke:
” As expected of my daughter, you certainly take after me, if only you weren’t so cold always then you might already have a lover by now. ”
She teased Xiao Rong whose cheek turned slightly red at her mother’s words, and she retorted:
” Mother, I am not that cold, and I already have… ”
But she decided to not tell her mother about it, since Jayden hadn’t properly accepted her yet, though she was sure that it was just a matter of time since he also had feelings for her.
Lao Rong narrowed her eyes at her words but since they had to go out she didn’t ask anything further and said:
” Alright let’s go out, your father is here and he wants to see you. Just greet him and then you can go back to your cultivation. ”
A frown appeared on Xiao Rong’s face, she didn’t want to see him but she couldn’t do anything about it, so she just nodded and with a deep sigh she stood up and followed her mother out of the room.
Then she finally saw her father sitting on the chair, just when he saw her, a big smile formed on his face, as he shouted:
” See that’s my daughter, wait you have already broken through, hahahaha what a pleasant surprise, I am sure that in no time you will be able to surpass even me. ”
It was the first time she had seen her father acting like this, she couldn’t understand why he was speaking like that but she just said: ” Thank you, father. ”
Then he gestured for her to sit on the chair in front of him and said:
” Take the seat, my daughter, I have something important and good to tell to you. ”
Without thinking much, Xiao Rong sat on the chair and looked at her mother who nodded to assure her.
” Yes, father. ” Xiao Rong said, waiting for him to speak.
” Have you heard about my promotion already? ” Rong Fu asked, in response to which Xiao Rong nodded.
Then he spoke: ” Actually, I have a good news for you too, soon you will become the… ”
Rong Fu paused in between, creating suspense by acting on his habit again, then he added:
” You will become the QUEEN of this entire Kingdom, hahaha isn’t that great? ”
Both the pair of mother and daughter were confused as they looked at each other and then at Rong Fu waiting for him to elaborate.
