Chapter 811: Oiled Pot.
The arena in the palace was like the colosseum of ancient Rome, surrounded by spectators on all sides. Situated in the center was a square ring that was around 50 meters in length and width, and was made of marble. The corners seemed to almost seamlessly connect with each other and it was impossible to squeeze in a piece of thin paper through the gap. The surface was also flat and smooth like a mirror.
At this moment, Xiao Luo, Gui and Duck Emperor were in the center of the ring, and more than 5,000 seats around them were occupied by the people of Moon Worship Country. There were no empty seats. Funing and the National Teacher were above the crowd in the high stands, overlooking the whole place.
In front of Xiao Luo was an oiled cauldron with a fire blazing underneath. The oil had already boiled and white smoke was rolling into the air..
“What is the first test? Come on, don’t waste time, we’re in a hurry!” Gui was eager to try and she was very excited to visit more places.
The Duck Emperor shook his head and sighed, “Little girl, I’m really worried about your IQ. Look at this pot, it probably has something to do with it.”
It is this oiled pot!
Xiao Luo silently said the answer in his heart.
The Duck Emperor explained to Gui very seriously and confidently, “You see the oil? It’s boiling, right? The content of the first test must be frying! We throw in some game and fry it, and we then eat it as fast as possible. It’s who can eat faster!”
Hearing this, Xiao Luo almost fell to the ground.
“Oh, if it’s eating then I will never lose. I’m the best at eating!” Gui’s eyes flashed.
[Bonk~]

Xiao Luo smacked the Duck Emperor’s head and reprimanded with supercilious eyes, “What are you talking about Gui having low IQ when your own is clearly not high enough?! Now, stop talking nonsense and be a bad influence.”
“Gai~ boy, what was that for? You’re messing up my hair (aka feathers)! And was I wrong? Isn’t it a speed eating contest?” The Duck Emperor angrily rebuked.
Speed eating?
Xiao Luo thought it was funny but outrageous, and gave The Duck emperor another bonk, “Are you that dumb?”
“Not only did you hit me again, you also humiliated me? You can kill me but not humiliate me! If you don’t believe me, how about we make a bet?” The Duck Emperor fought back.
“Bet!”
Xiao Luo, on the other hand, didn’t take it with kindness, “If it’s really what you said, then I’ll pluck your feathers and throw YOU into the frying pot for us to eat. It’s a shame to not make USE of you now that it’s convenient. You said it yourself, I can’t humiliate you but I can kill you, right?”
The Duck Emperor did not dare to continue to bicker with Xiao Luo. He silently retreated into Gui’s pocket, and said softly, “I was wrong big brother.”
Looking at the Duck Emperor that just got scolded, Gui couldn’t help but chuckle.
Above the high stands, the National Teacher grunted coldly, “You don’t even know that you’re going to die. Really stupid!”
“Stop the suspense. What is the first test? Make it clear!” Xiao Luo raised his head and said.
The National Teacher’s eyes turned murderous. A man dared to talk to her like that without any respect. The corners of her mouth twitched as she suppressed it, but she endured it. She said, “As you can see, in front of you is an oiled pot. The first test is that one of you jumps in. If you can stay in it for a while and stay alive, you will pass.”
AD
Hiss…
Hearing these words, the audience watching around gasped, thinking that the National Teacher really didn’t want this man to live. Such a terrible way to die!
“Jump in the pot? Gai~ you serious about this sh¡t?” The Duck Emperor swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fear.
“National Teacher…”
“Funing, I already made concessions, I am already making a huge compromise.”
Funing wanted to say a few words, but she was interrupted by the National Teacher.
The National Teacher then continued to say to Xiao Luo and Gui below, saying, “After jumping into the oil pot, you are not allowed to use your True Essence. Once I find that there is fluctuation of the True Essence, this test will be regarded as your loss.”
“No True Essence, what’s the difference between this and killing them then?”
Funing couldn’t sit still any longer and cried loudly. Not to mention not using True Essence, even using it would only allow one to stay in the pot for a moment. Even a Martial Emperor level won’t last long.
“Of course, there is a difference. At least they still have a chance of survival with this. If I made the move, they would have no chance of survival!” The National Teacher quibbled.
This puny nobody couldn’t beat her. Besides, from killing this man, Funing’s bitterness would naturally be lifted. This not only upheld the national law, but also would also protect Funing. This was killing two birds with one stone.
“Aren’t you asking too much?”
Xiao Luo frowned, his eyes flashed with coldness. He thought that this could be resolved properly and peacefully; it seemed that this National Teacher had no intention of doing so.
“Too much?”
The National Teacher sneered, “If you want to live, you have to go through three tests. This is the national law, and you have no choice.”
“Gai~ boy, ignore this evil b*tch and smack the sh*t out of her!”
The Duck Emperor was also very angry. They can’t use the True Essence? Isn’t that bullsh*t? Without protection, even a Martial Saint would cough up if he jumps in.
“I can give it a try.” Gui suddenly said.
When the Duck Emperor heard this, he became scared and flew out to examine her forehead, “Do you have a fever, little girl? How can you talk gibberish?”
“I’m telling the truth. She (National Teacher) said that we are not allowed to use True Essence but the power system of us vampires is different. It is based on Spirit. My Spirit is also Yin so even the magma erupted by volcanoes in the dark forest can’t harm me. This oiled pot is not worse than that.” Gui said.
Um…
The Duck Emperor was stunned.
Xiao Luo also asked uneasily, “Can you really?”
“Don’t worry, Handsome Luoluo, although I am unreliable at times, I can guarantee this.”
AD
Gui nodded heavily. “But I have a request.”
“What request?” Xiao Luo frowned.
With a lively and lovely smile on her face, Gui approached him and whispered in his ear, “Don’t call me by my name once I come out of the pot.”
“Then what should I call you?”
“Ling’er!”
“Ling’er?”
“Yes, yes, that makes our relationship closer.” Gui cheekily laughed.
