A Yellow Millet Dream

Chapter 36 The Man With The Protagonist's Script

After listening, Lu Fei’s expression began to turn ugly!

Damn it… isn’t this the script I should be getting, hey! Author! Are you there! I demand to possess Huangfu Chenyi… Lu Fei thought frantically.

“So he worked so hard just to become a councilor? And to serve the people?” Lu Fei said leisurely.

He had ten thousand complaints in his heart. The ultimate destination for geniuses was also a government position…

Chu Huainan sighed faintly, “He’s not interested in being a councilor.”

When he said this, Chu Huainan also found it laughable. The status and position that countless people couldn’t even dream of in their lifetimes, yet someone was truly not interested…

Lu Fei was expressionless, feeling like hitting someone.

“Becoming a councilor was merely a tool for his revenge.”

Just as he was about to continue, Chu Huainan realized that he needed to educate Lu Fei on some things first, otherwise, Lu Fei might not understand even if he explained.

He patiently explained, “The seven councilors you know have all been deified. People admire their strength and status, revering them like gods. But in reality, the reason the seven councilors are called the peak existences of the Beast Taming Continent is because each of them holds supreme authority.”

“What authority?” Lu Fei asked.

Chu Huainan said:

“The first authority: managing politics and diplomacy.”

“The second authority: managing economy and development.”

“The third authority: managing law and human rights.”

“The fourth authority: managing science and research.”

“The fifth authority: managing education and associations.”

“The sixth authority: managing history and the future.”

“The seventh authority: managing military and war.”

Chu Huainan listed them one by one. Lu Fei listened patiently, a guess already forming in his mind, “So, he obtained the seventh authority, managed the military, and reignited the war between humans and unknown creatures?”

“Heh, chatting with you is so relaxing. You grasp everything with just a hint.” Chu Huainan praised a few words and said,

“If he had merely initiated a war, no one would have responded. He might have been rejected during the internal council vote. But as I said, he is a genius in every aspect. In just a few years, he had completely mastered politics.

“Secretly, he used various benefits as bargaining chips, winning over three other councilors. In the decision-making meeting, they ultimately won with a 4:3 vote, signaling the renewed outbreak of war between humans and unknown creatures.”

Good heavens, a man of action who takes center stage and manipulates the whole world… Lu Fei couldn’t help but feel a little admiration.

“Did humanity win or lose this time?”

Chu Huainan continued the story, “For their first battle, they chose the fire-attribute unknown creature in the Fiery South as their target. The expeditionary force included over a dozen Beast Masters who held titles.”

“Thanks to years of technological advancement, many excellent beast taming items were manufactured. With the buffs from these items, contracted beasts possessed unprecedented combat power. According to the surviving Beast Masters later, that fire-attribute unknown creature was personally killed by Huangfu Chenyi!”

“With the victory in the first battle, the morale of this special unit soared, and they pressed on to the Frozen North to find another unknown creature. However, this time, it wasn't as smooth.”

“You lost?” Lu Fei asked.

“I don’t know.” Chu Huainan shook his head.

Don’t be so mysterious, you’re really building suspense… Lu Fei anxiously wanted to know what happened next.

“The Beast Masters who accompanied Huangfu Chenyi to the Frozen North.”

“Not a single one survived!”

Lu Fei felt a chill breeze blow past him, giving him a sudden shiver and sending a chill through his body.

“And he himself disappeared after that!”

“In the blink of an eye, ten years passed. Just as people were gradually forgetting the name Huangfu Chenyi, he reappeared!”

Lu Fei’s eyes lit up. He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the villain’s return.

Chu Huainan continued his story.

“This time, he chose an extremely high-profile way to debut. He appeared on the main media screens of various fortress cities.”

“When I saw him, I felt an indescribable joy and excitement, but his subsequent words plunged me into an ice cellar!”

“He declared war on the World Government! As the leader of the Hunter organization!”

Chu Huainan spoke with passion, and Lu Fei listened intently.

Lu Fei was somewhat bewildered. He touched his chin and muttered, “Is this person out of his mind? He led people to their deaths, what does that have to do with the World Government? Is he throwing a tantrum…” As soon as he finished muttering, his expression changed abruptly.

“Could it be that he was corrupted by the unknown creatures from the star domain and became their puppet?!” Lu Fei blurted out, proposing a bold guess.

Chu Huainan’s expression changed, his mouth slightly parted as if he wanted to say something but stopped. However, this series of actions happened in an instant, and Lu Fei did not notice before he had already regained his composure.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Fei, being sensible, went to open it.

At a glance, he saw a man with white hair, a receding hairline, dressed in a suit and tie, standing at the door.

The man also saw Lu Fei and was momentarily stunned, “Lu Fei student, what are you doing here?”

“Greetings, Dean!” Lu Fei said with a clear voice, respectfully.

The person who arrived was none other than the Dean of the Beast Taming Academy, Lin Yuansheng.

Before Lu Fei could explain the situation, Chu Huainan’s voice came from inside the room, “I am discussing some matters with young friend Lu Fei. Dean Lin, is there something you need?”

Lin Yuansheng’s expression changed. He sized Lu Fei up from head to toe, his eyes full of envy.

If Zhou Nanfeng saw Lin Yuansheng in this state, he would probably wake up smiling in his dreams. He yearned for the day when Lin Yuansheng would bow to him and not dare to breathe loudly in his presence, especially since he was currently in this state before Lin Yuansheng…

You want to possess me, wipe your drool! Wipe your drool!… Lu Fei raised an eyebrow and nodded innocently, “Elder Chu and I are having a pleasant conversation. Dean, you are very knowledgeable and can surely offer more constructive opinions. Why not join us?”

Lin Yuansheng’s old face flushed, and he quickly waved his hands, “No, no, no, I didn’t mean that.”

You clearly did… Lu Fei saw right through him.

Lin Yuansheng said respectfully, “Elder Chu, it’s almost 8 o’clock. I mentioned earlier that we have a banquet arranged for tonight. What do you think…”

Chu Huainan slapped his forehead, finally remembering the dinner.

“Hahaha, I was so engrossed in talking with young friend Lu Fei that I forgot about this matter for a moment.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuansheng’s gaze fell on Lu Fei again. He sized him up from head to toe, his eyes filled with envious jealousy.

Stop looking! If you keep looking, I’ll hit you… Being stared at by a grown man like this, Lu Fei felt his hair standing on end.

“Um, Elder Chu, the Dean seems…” Lu Fei said loudly.

In a flash, Lin Yuansheng had already disappeared from the doorway.

“Tch~” Lu Fei rolled his eyes and returned to the sofa.

Chu Huainan slowly stood up and stretched. “I’ve told you everything I should and shouldn’t have today. I hope it will be helpful to you.”

“Alright, come with me to the banquet.”

On the sofa, Lu Fei remained motionless, still lost in his own world.

“Young friend Lu Fei?” Chu Huainan called out.

Lu Fei finally came back to his senses and said somewhat flustered, “Old man, you’ve said so much, but you haven’t told me what I should do next!”

Chu Huainan smiled meaningfully, “Don’t worry, I’ll tell you at the banquet!”

“Hahaha.”
