Chapter 331: Chapter 331: He can really protect her_1

As soon as the Speaking Master finished, An Jing asked loudly, ”Master has said so much, but hasn’t mentioned what the King of Eternal Victory is called?”

The Speaking Master immediately put on a stern face, ”The name of the King of Eternal Victory is not something that we commoners can know!”

An Jing simply smiled and said no more.

Everyone knew of the King of Eternal Victory, yet few were aware that this King of Eternal Victory was named Xiao Changyi... No, her husband had been given a royal surname, so he should be called Su Changyi.

An Jing placed some more food into her aloof husband’s bowl, while asking in a hushed voice with a laugh, ”Husband, how much of what the master said just now was true?”

”Forty percent.”

”Only forty percent...” An Jing chuckled softly, her laughter concealed in her throat, ”I guess the parts about the titles being granted were true.”

Xiao Changyi looked at An Jing with a mixture of helplessness and doting affection. Who would dare to fabricate stories about the granting of titles?

”If you have the exemption from death for seven generations, why would you need the Death Exemption Token?” An Jing asked even more quietly.

Xiao Changyi’s voice was also very low, ”Seeing the Death Exemption Token is like seeing the Son of Heaven; sometimes it is still somewhat useful.”

An Jing almost burst into laughter.

By now, she had completely understood that when he had said, ”Even without the Death Exemption Token, I can protect you,” he hadn’t been just trying to cheer her up, but had meant it truly.

He really could protect her.

If they had descendants, he could even protect them for seven generations!

Truth be told, when she found out the true identity of her husband, she was a little worried that someone with his lofty accomplishments might not end well, but gradually, she stopped worrying. First, because her husband knew how to keep a low profile and had no interest in power; second, because both the current Emperor and the Crown Prince trusted her husband immensely.

The level of that trust was simply unimaginable.

”Husband, eat some more; the food is quite good.” An Jing added more food to Xiao Changyi’s bowl.

They had never been to Qian Wei Tavern before, but the taste was indeed passable on this first visit, which explained why there were so many customers dining at the tavern.

Xiao Changyi then filled her bowl with plenty of dishes, ”You eat too.”

”Mhm~”

Having finished their meal and preparing to call the waiter over to pay, An Jing inadvertently noticed a bristly bearded tough at the next table sneakily taking out a small porcelain bottle from a hidden pocket in his sleeve.

An Jing immediately gave Xiao Changyi a look, signaling him to glance discreetly at the rugged man.

Then, she saw the bristly bearded man sneakily opening the small porcelain bottle while covertly watching the people around, and quickly pouring something into the stewed meat on his table. The substance was pitch black and granular.

Recognizing what it was, An Jing’s pupils slightly contracted.

Xiao Changyi did not show any response.

After the rugged man poured the substance into the stewed meat, he quickly put away the small porcelain bottle, then picked up his chopsticks and stirred briskly in the stew, mixing the black granules with the food.

Thinking no one had noticed him, the bearded tough guy finished stirring, banged the table, and stood up pretending to be furious, shouting loudly, ”What a shameless eatery! I heard the food here was good and came to try it, but you dare to serve me food with rat droppings in it! This is outrageous!”

The patrons in the tavern, upon hearing the commotion about droppings in the food, immediately stopped eating, checking their own dishes for any sign of rat droppings while also feeling a strong sense of revulsion, losing all appetite.

The Speaking Master, who had been telling his tale with great intonation, stopped upon hearing the bristly bearded man’s shouting and looked over in his direction.
