Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540: Chapter 541 Vampire Nobility [4th Update]

Wu Tian looked at them and chuckled. The little one also piped up, "Grandpas, you don’t believe it?"

The little one’s adorable appearance made the old men’s eyes light up, and their attitudes softened. Still, they didn’t yield. "That’s right, we don’t believe you."

"Even if he is the Martial God, he can kill us and take the time machine by force. But make us hand it over willingly? Impossible!"

"That’s right. It’s impossible in this lifetime. We would rather die than surrender the time machine."

Wu Tian chuckled and took out his phone. He dialed the Lord of the Four Seas’ number and spoke a few brief words. A moment later, each of the professors received a message. Their expressions changed dramatically when they saw the sender’s number. The message was written in a special code. Even if others saw it, they would have no idea what it said. The professors and doctors, however, knew. This message was from the Lord of the Four Seas, stating that he had granted Wu Tian priority access.

"So, how about it now?" Wu Tian asked with a faint smile.

The professors and doctors exchanged glances before obediently stepping aside, just as Wu Tian had predicted.

Wu Tian immediately stored the time machine in his Nine Dragon Ring.

"The Head of State values you greatly," Professor Zheng said, approaching him with a happy expression. "In that case, there should be no problem with handing the King of Poppies over to you."

Wu Tian nodded. Professor Zheng led him to another secret chamber where most of the items stored were plant seeds.

"Thank you," Wu Tian said. He was a man who clearly distinguished between favors and grudges; to him, things were black and white.

"Martial God, there’s no need for thanks," Professor Zheng said. "Things should be put to their best use. A treasured sword for a hero, a great beauty for a champion! That is the natural order of things."

He used a special key to open a cabinet, from which he retrieved the King of Poppies.

Poppies are difficult to identify, as there are over one hundred varieties. They grow mainly in Central and Southern Europe and temperate Asia, with a few species native to the Americas, Oceania, and Southern Africa. There are several types in Dragon Country alone, and they look much like common wildflowers.

This King of Poppies, however, was different. It was more magnificent than any rose, and a single whiff of its fragrance was enough to make one’s entire body go limp.

"Here you go."

"Alright." Wu Tian was not one to hesitate. He accepted the King of Poppies and stored it in the Nine Dragon Ring.

"Excellent. I can’t stand people who dither." Seeing Wu Tian accept his gift, Professor Zheng was genuinely pleased.

"Martial God, I know you must be busy, but please have dinner with us tonight."

"Alright," Wu Tian nodded.

After he and the little one had dinner, they would return to Yang City. He planned to refine the King of Poppies into a medicine that, once consumed, would greatly enhance his Spiritual Sense and perhaps even allow him to use some Spiritual Martial Skills. He also needed to study the time machine.

「At this moment, in Europe!」

In the Iron Tower Country of France, there is a solitary island in the middle of the ocean. Aside from bats, no other animals could be seen. There was only one building on the island: the Holy Church, where a few nuns prayed day and night.

In the backyard of the Holy Church was a graveyard. It was an ordinary cemetery, but it was bound by layer after layer of iron chains. This graveyard belonged to a man named Giles.

He once served as a Marshal of France, fighting side-by-side with Saint Joan of Arc. After she was burned at the stake, he became obsessed with alchemy, hoping to find the Philosopher’s Stone within blood. To this end, he tortured and imprisoned more than 300 young boys.

In their hearts, the nuns didn’t believe her. They felt the God the mother superior worshipped was just a figment of her own imagination, not the true God.
