Chapter 2287: The Adorable King (1)
Shen Yanxiao listened quietly. This was the rst time she had heard of herself from a population other
than the people of the Barren Land.
A smile slowly bloomed in the corners of her mouth.
It turned out that the people of the Radiance Continent were not entirely ignorant about what she had
done.
It actually felt good.
Mumu Fan did things very quickly. As soon as night fell, he had arranged for Shen Yanxiao to enter the
palace.
Yu Lei, the impostor, was given an excuse by Shen Yanxiao so that he could be sent back rst to the
Alchemist Guild, while Shen Yanxiao followed Mumu Fan to the palace.
The palace of the dwarves was guarded by dwarves in mechanical puppets. The dwarves themselves were
smaller, and although they were not inferior to other races in terms of strength, they were easy to lose in
battle because of their petite size, and the mechanical puppets made up for this shortcoming.
The whole palace was so full of dwarven alchemy that you could see alchemy products almost
everywhere. The several huge cannons elevated above the palace made it more like a sturdy fortress.
Mumu Fan took Shen Yanxiao to the palace, after which they were led to the king’s residence by another
dwarf.
Standing in front of the gate, Mumu Fan stopped. He tidied up his clothes before knocking on the door.
“My king, Mumu Fan has brought Huohuo Xiao over and seeks an audience.”
In response, a clear voice rang out in the room.
“Master Mumu Fan, please come in.”
Shen Yanxiao was slightly stupeed upon hearing the voice; it was because it sounded very childish.
Mumu Fan opened the gate and took Shen Yanxiao in.
There was a trace of astonishment in Shen Yanxiao’s eyes as she entered the room.
The simple room was not anything betting an emperor. At the clean study table, a very young dwarf—an
adorable little boy—was blinking at them with his big watery eyes.
“Mumu Fan greets my king.” Mumu Fan knelt on one knee to the dwarf behind the desk.
Shen Yanxiao was directly stricken dumb…
The king of the dwarves turned out to be… Such a little guy!
Even judging by the age of the dwarves, he didn’t look like an adult either.
“Master, please, I told you that you don’t have to be so polite in private.” The Dwarf King said, and a
childlike smile bloomed in the corners of his mouth.
Shen Yanxiao could never connect the little guy in front of him with the king of the dwarves at all.
“Xiu… This little guy… He’s not an adult yet, is he? How could he be the Dwarf King?” Shen Yanxiao was in
complete disarray. This was completely dierent from what she had imagined.
Xiu’s voice sounded in Shen Yanxiao’s mind.
‘He is much older than you think, and he is very powerful, but there seems to be some strange force in
him that has turned him into what he is now.’ Xiu also had a little doubt about the situation of the Dwarf
King. He could easily see the age of the dwarf and naturally knew that the little guy in front of him was
denitely not as young as his appearance.
“This is Huohuo Xiao? Master Yuyu Lei’s disciple, I’m really sorry to let you see me like this.” The Dwarf
King looked at Shen Yanxiao with a smile, and he looked extremely adorable.
“Huohuo Xiao pays respect to my king.” Shen Yanxiao awkwardly saluted on one knee. It was just really
hard for her to accept the appearance of the Dwarf King.
“Since Mumu Fan brought you to me, he should have told you about the poison in my body. As you can
see, it is because of this poison that I have become like this.” The Dwarf King smiled wryly.
