11. Emperor's death

Sounds of gasps and things being shattered after falling on the ground could be heard for a second before the entire lively atmosphere in the canteen changed into that of a ghostly silence.

Wide eyes and dropped jaws were a common sight at that instant. Even Qi Longwei's two best friends were shocked still, not to mention the rest. No one dared to even breathe, forget about moving. Even the staffs in the canteen were numb with fear. At a glance, one would be unable to differentiate whether it was living people present or just statues placed at random.

There was one thing that everyone knew about Qi Longwei, one thing even his dearest friends took carefull note of so as to make a mistake- Qi Longwei is a severe germophobic person.

Qi Longwei doesn't even like people touching him, much less splash him with juice. Looking at his face growing darker by the minute, everyone sent a silent prayer for Li Zhilan in their hearts.

While everyone where completely silent, Li Zhilan's voice rang out. At normal times, due to her unique voice, which was neither too sweet nor too bold, people would be normally attracted to her which make them unable to stop themselves from making her talk more, but today, the words that voice carried were so dangerous, that everyone wanted to cover her mouth to make her shut up.

"You got such a nice and handsome face. Your body is also excellent but that arrogance of yours, sigh... You know what, arrogance is a very expensive thing to maintain. Why don't I do you a favor and take some of it off of you? You don't have to thank me, after all, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven floor pagoda."

"Try if you dare. I'll make sure you regret it." Qi Longwei's voice was threateningly low making the hairs of those who heard it stand on its end.

But Li Zhilan was an entirely different case. Not only did she not feel troubled, she even had the guts to make a joke of it.

"Why won't I dare? I'm not going against the God. I'm not going against the law. Your arrogance has very little days left if you don't stop bugging me. You better take care of it while you still can."

Though Li Zhilan was quite cool with it, those who heard her words were not. Everyone were trembling with fear as they looked on at her and shouted in their minds-

'God will take his time to save you but Qi Longwei will not'

'By the time God arrives, you will be six feet under the ground'

'What law? Do you think Master Qi doesn't have the power to alter it?'

It really was a case of the eunuch worrying for the emperor. Though in this case, it was the eunuch worrying about their own life as the death of the emperor was written in stone.
