Chapter 2717: How Dare 1

Editor: Henyee Translations

She did not manage to snatch the last one.

She was at a loss.

Though unsure of the reason, Gu Chaoyan felt the urge to rise from her seat. Despite her confusion, her role as the Heaven Emperor’s maidservant remained ingrained in her consciousness. It was undeniably audacious to partake in the meal alongside him and even attempt to claim his food.

Thus, she made the decision to stand, intending to address the situation later.

In walked a striking woman, her visage contorted with anger, a sight that did her no favors. Qi Yue’s fury was palpable, her indignation fueled by the audacity of anyone daring to dine with the Heaven Emperor in such a manner.

In the hallowed halls of the Heavenly Palace, such behavior was beyond reproach, a blatant affront to propriety.

Her rage threatened to consume her, fueled by the perceived disrespect from this ignorant interloper.

However, she had not anticipated such boldness from someone not granted permission by the Heaven Emperor himself, leaving her feeling that no woman in existence was worthy.

Meanwhile, the Heaven Emperor’s displeasure was evident despite his masked countenance. Initially content with the peculiar behavior of Gu Chaoyan, her unexpected defiance piqued his interest, finding allure in her apparent lack of fear. It was a dynamic he found oddly appealing.

Such a moment was actually disturbed.

He was disturbed just like that!

The Heaven Emperor was furious.

“Get out.” The Heaven Emperor was a man of few words, but his every word was stern.

Qi Yue pointed her sword at Gu Chaoyan and said unhappily, “Did you hear that? Get out!”

Alright…

She wanted to get out again.

Gu Chaoyan got up and walked out helplessly.

The dietary fruits were so delicious.

Unfortunately…

Originally, that should have entered her mouth, but now, it was all for naught.

She prepared to go out like a quail.

The Heaven Emperor’s expression darkened as he swiftly intervened, pulling Gu Chaoyan back. In the abrupt movement, she lost her balance and stumbled into his waiting arms, where he held her firmly, refusing to release her gaze.

Addressing Qi Yue with a steely resolve, he spoke, his voice cutting through the tension in the air. “I instructed you to leave. Who are you to dictate my actions?”

“Brother Heaven Emperor!” Qi Yue’s disbelief was palpable.

The notion of being dismissed by her own brother, the Heaven Emperor, seemed unfathomable.

After all, she had always been treated as an exception, granted occasional presence within the hallowed halls of the Heavenly Palace. Brother Heaven Emperor had never interfered with her comings and goings before.

Therefore, in her opinion, this Heavenly Palace could be considered a part of her rights.

Unexpectedly…

The Heaven Emperor saw that she hadn’t left for a long time.

He directly used his spiritual energy to knock her out.

There were only two people left in the room, but Gu Chaoyan did not dare to snatch the fruit.

After all, the Heaven Emperor was still the Heaven Emperor. He couldn’t treat him like a sick cat if he didn’t show his might!

It was better not to provoke him.

The Heaven Emperor’s authority remained unassailable, ensuring that dissenters faced dire consequences.

In Gu Chaoyan’s eyes, the woman’s mistreatment wasn’t solely due to her actions but rather the Heaven Emperor’s perceived challenge to his authority, prompting punishment.

Standing silent and submissive like a quail, Gu Chaoyan observed the scene unfold.

The Heaven Emperor’s expression betrayed no hint of his thoughts as he spoke, offering her the last morsel as a reward. “This will suffice until your next bath. You may depart for now.”

“Understood,” Gu Chaoyan replied before rising to leave.

Though not in a position of disadvantage, a sense of melancholy lingered within her.

The uncertainty of when she might find an opportunity to seek answers weighed heavily on her mind.
