The Golden Throne

Liu Feng smiled. Blood ran out of his nose.

"Wow, my punches are strong.", he realized. He raised them again and punched himself on the side once more.

A dark bruise could be seen on his face, with an imprint of the knuckles right at the center.

"What are you doing?", Escta looked at him with shock and horror. It was as if he had gone mad.

"Won't make sense if someone like me held your hand like that and walked away unscathed.", Liu Feng smiled. His teeth were perfectly fine even though Liu Feng did not pull his punches. The smile creeped out Escta, who took a step back instinctively.

He turned around and left the alley to go back into the makeshift cafeteria. As he was leaving the alley, he felt a lot of eyes on him, curious as to who would act like that with a noble elf.

Seeing that he was heavily injured on the face, they seemed satisfied and looked away. The topic of conversation however, did not change one bit.

"Who is that man? To touch my goddess' hand and still stay alive? I hope that he gets into trouble.", a murmur could be heard from the side. Liu Feng sighed as he shook his head. He walked to the same line that he was standing in, and looked forward. It had been quite some time, and he was getting very hungry.

"Hey, what was that about? Do you even know who that is?", the man in front of him asked Liu Feng.

"She was some terrifying elf man. I thought that I would luck out cause well, we are of the same age right? But the moment I was in the alley with her, she beat me up and these shadows appeared and oh god it was hell. I won't mess with elf girls anymore. Seem like more trouble than they are.", Liu Feng faked a story on the fly.

"Some elf girl? She is a princess! The oldest princess of the elf family. She is probably as old as your father boy.", the man scoffed.

"As old as my father? What do you mean?", Liu Feng asked.

"You are a country bumpkin aren't you?", the man laughed.

Liu Feng smiled sheepishly. This was the second time someone called him that. He did not like it one bit.

"Elves live longer than humans."

"Yes, of course I know that.", Liu Feng replied.

"Then, won't they stay in their youth longer? She may be forty, but she does not look a day older than eighteen.", the man said.

"Wait a minute! I have heard that a sixteen year old elf looks like a normal sixteen year old though.", Liu Feng asked concernedly.

"Yes. They develop like humans till the age of eighteen. After that, they just stop aging. It is truly magical.", the man exclaimed.

"Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean that when Amelia is going to grow up, she is going to remain her young self and I am going to age? Won't that make me a pedophile or something? Worse, what if she leaves me?", thoughts raced through Liu Feng's head.

"Next!", a call disrupted his line of thought. Shaking his head, he raised his hands to take a plate from the person in front of him.

The food was surprisingly hot, and Liu Feng looked around. Everyone who got a plate was moving towards another area to make sure that the place did not get cramped. He followed them as he studies what was in his hands.

There was the classic peace of bread that was surprisingly the staple of many in Dicain as well. There was also a few pieces of baked potato, and some other green paste that he did not even recognize. 

Liu Feng followed all the people into another huge gathering. Everyone was talking to each other, and Liu Feng totally felt out of place. He sighed and quickly ate everything on his plate except for the green paste.

He looked for where he needed to put the plate, but stopped when he saw that Samiel was walking around. All the people who saw him immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

Shaking his head, Liu Feng put the plate down, and disappeared all of a sudden.

A few moments later, a hand bent down to pick up the same plate.

"Strange. I could swear that I saw His Highness the crown prince here. I must be tripping. Well, time to go. Too many things to do, too little time.", Samiel rambled as he threw the plate down and walked away from the gathering to an alley.

"Phew, that was close.", Liu Feng, who had appeared above the building that neighboured this gathering, sighed. "Who would have thought that he would recognize me from so far away?"

He turned away to leave, but from this height, another sight caught his eye. In another alley, there were a few, sounds that could be heard. They did not sound pleasant at all, and Liu Feng could swear that there was a woman there who needed help.

Before moving, however, he retrieved a piece of cloth from his spatial ring and covered his face. He then jumped down into the alley without hesitation.

Then, he heard the horrible events in clarity.

"Please don't. I have a husband. No, don't take away my shirt. Ah! My clothes!.", a woman's terrifies voice could be heard.

Liu Feng's blood boiled.

"Wherever I go, there are always people like this.", he shouted in anger.

"Who is it? Who is here? Do you know who I am?", a male voice came from the same direction as the woman's.

Liu Feng stepped forward to see the situation properly. A woman, presumably in her thirties, was standing there with her hands covering her bare chest. Her face was covered in tears and fright.

Liu Feng suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the woman. All of a sudden, a large blanket covered her.

He then looked coldly at the man. "Almost every person who said that to me did not or will not have a good ending.", he sneered, but his facial expressions were not visible because they were covered by the cloth.
