The Golden Throne

By the time he got there, everyone was practically in line. He identified his batch and wanted to go over there, but he hesitated. He knew that since every one was basically in line, he would be considered late. If we went out now, he would be called out, and there were people who would recognize him here as well, and it was a risk that he didn't want to take. So, he shrugged.

"Maybe I don't need to stay here today. I need the day off anyway. Would be nice to sit back and relax somewhere comfy.", he thought to himself. 

He turned around to leave. A few others were also late like him, and they rushed forward to join their batches, but life was not easy for them.

"You there, come here! Do you know what time it is? Showcase time. Take him away and show everyone how the army treats people without discipline. 

Liu Feng looked at them and shook his head. His feet blurred as he rushed away from the scene of the crime. 

"Huh. It feels like I am missing somebody...", the elf captain of Liu Feng's team frowned, but she did not know. "Fine then. All of you, follow me. And lets hope that you aren't going to be so pathetic this time around.", she shouted as she led the batch to another part of the training ground.

Liu Feng, who had just missed a penalty, was walking through the city streets. They were all empty. The soldiers were gone because they had to keep their combat efficiency in shape so they were practicing. All the students were in the city center or wherever in their drills, and the recruits were stuck in the training grounds. Liu Feng was basically one of the only people within the city itself.

Of course, he did not want to stand out. He made sure that even the few who were free could not see him. He finally decided to go to the bath house and have a nice and relaxing steamed bath. 

He headed there, because his clothes were in his spatial ring, and he needed nothing else. When he got there, the place was empty. He went up the stairs and into the bath house. It was, as he expected, completely empty.

Stripping, he jumped into the huge pool.

"Aaaargh.", he let out a sigh of relief. "These last few months have been hectic goddamn it."

He closed his eyes as he relaxed on one of the walls of the pool.

After an hour,

Liu Feng opened his eyes. He smiled and said, "What are you doing here? Not exactly the best place to have a meeting is it?"

"Well, you are not the easiest person to meet.", Feng Huang said. She was standing in front of Liu Feng. Yes, standing. Her feet were hovering inches above the water, and she looked like a fiery fairy over the water.

"So, what do you want? You only talk to me when you need something.", Liu Feng asked.

"I want to know why the Dragon King is here early. He came here in a hurry, and it was regarding something really important, or he wouldn't leave an entire tribe defenceless near the magical kingdom.", she went straight to the point.

"Well, it was nothing. Or at least, he told me nothing. You are asking the wrong person.", Liu Feng did not want to lie to Feng Huang, but he hesitated to tell her the truth. She was not someone he could trust completely. He did not even know her that well.

"Are you sure Liu Feng? She is one of the four guardian spirits of the mortal world. I mean, of Dicain. She is someone who would die for Dicain if she needed to. Do not insult her by thinking of her as a human.", Pyrus spoke solemnly.

Liu Feng froze for a while and nodded. "I am afraid he did actually. He told me something very important, and I was not sure if I could share it with you.", he said.

"Speak child.", she said.

Liu Feng smiled bitterly. Feng Huang was in the appearance of a young woman, and her calling Liu Feng a child only made things awkward.

"He told me that there are two demon ministers coming. One with a shield and one with a sword. Does that mean anything to you?", Liu Feng asked Feng Huang.

"Impossible. They are sending Rauken and Gauken so quickly? For a mere recon trip? Something is amiss.", Feng Huang muttered as she drifted off to the side. Liu Feng saw this and shook his head.

Getting out of the pool, he took a few clothes from his ring and wore them. He then looked at Feng Huang, who regained her composure.

"We will need to rethink our strategy. Does Bai Lu know of this?", she asked.

"I am not sure. Maybe you are the right person to ask him?", Liu Feng suggested.

"No. If they do arrive, the moment they step foot on the continent, Bai Lu will be the first one they face. Do not worry about that. All that I am worried about is how seriously the demons are taking this. It is disconcerting to say the least.", she sighed.

"Well, we cannot do anything about that. Let us hope that we can fend the demons easily this time, and after that, I will be looking for a way to make things right, and more favourable for us.", Liu Feng said confidently.

"Fine. I will be going now. I hope that you know what you are doing.", she said.

"Wait. Do not tell anyone that I am here. I want to do something without the kings knowing.", Liu Feng asked her.

"I don't care enough to tell them.", she dismissed as she flew away from the gaping hole still in the ceiling.

"Now isn't this fun! She said that the king of the magical forest might join.", Liu Feng laughed gleefully.
