at the same time.
Jiaocheng.
Inside the city lord's palace.
Lord Long Jun was extremely busy dealing with the telepathic messages from the other nine city lords.
"How do I know if it's Ning Ruan? Anyway, there are quite a lot of people. Although they are disguised as humans, there are people from all races. The leader should be from the Lei Bao clan, with a Golden Core cultivation level."
"Bullshit! Do you think I'm that stupid? What does Ning Ruan and the Dragon Spirit Pearl have to do with me? Why would I go looking for trouble with Ning Ruan?"
"It's a good thing that she was able to rent Yunqi Terrace; it's not a loss for this old man anyway."
“You guys need to behave yourselves. I’ve heard that Ning Ruan didn’t cause any trouble in the Eternal Domain before. It was only when the Grand Master of the Xuan Shui Clan came that the Eternal Domain was thrown into chaos and the Yunxi Terrace was completely destroyed.”
"What do you mean? I'm just telling the truth. If we're talking about grudges against Ning Ruan, it should be your Shadow Clan. Let's get straight to the point. Ning Ruan has been to your main world, right? The matter of the Northern King's fall..."
Before the Jiao Clan City Lord could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Shadow Clan City Lord's voice filled with gritted teeth:
"Long Jun, be careful what you say."
"The matter within my clan has already been settled. If you spread rumors outside, don't blame me for being impolite."
Long Jun chuckled softly.
The laughter wasn't loud, but it clearly carried a hint of undisguised mockery.
It was as if the Shadow Clan City Lord's threat was nothing more than a child's joke.
He didn't even bother to say anything more, and with a casual flick of his finger, he cut off the telepathic transmission.
Be careful what you say?
In this Jiaocheng, on Long Jun's territory, there is no one who can teach him how to do things.
Silence returned to the city lord's mansion.
Long Jun picked up the spiritual tea on the table, took a slow sip, and gazed leisurely out the window, where he could see the dazzling pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth. His eyes were deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"Squeak-"
The palace doors were gently pushed open.
A faint, fragrant breeze wafted by, and a slender figure silently appeared beside Long Jun like a water snake.
The newcomer was dressed in a fiery red flowing fairy dress, with an exquisitely beautiful face and a pair of fox-like eyes that naturally exuded charm. With a flicker of her gaze, she seemed capable of stealing one's soul.
But what's most eye-catching are the nine fluffy, snow-white fox tails behind her, swaying lazily and elegantly as she pleases.
"Lord City Lord, who has displeased you this time?"
As she spoke, she naturally sat on Long Jun's lap, her arms wrapping around his neck.
Her breath was sweet and fragrant, with a hint of coquettishness.
"Just a few impatient old fogies." Long Jun was clearly used to her intimacy, and he casually put his large hand around her slender waist, amused, and said, "Weren't you in seclusion? Why are you out now?"
"The Yunxi Pavilion has caused such a commotion; even those in seclusion should know about it."
The nine-tailed female cultivator covered her lips and chuckled.
Long Jun believed it: "That's true, Yunqi Terrace hasn't seen such activity in a long time."
The nine-tailed female cultivator nodded slightly. "I came out out of curiosity, and then I heard that the one who rented Yunxi Terrace was Ning Ruan. Is it really her?"
"Who else could it be but her?" Long Jun raised his hand, amusedly pinching her smooth chin, his fingertips gently caressing her beauty mark. "What, even you, little fox, are interested in her?"
"You flatter me, sir. I'm not the only one interested in Ningruan these days. I've never seen such an interesting human race before."
interesting.
Long Jun savored those two words, his smile deepening.
Yes, it is indeed interesting.
An individual whose actions are completely unconventional.
How can it not be considered interesting?
Especially at this time, will the guy who always likes to capture geniuses from all races have his plans disrupted because of Ning Ruan's appearance?
After all, when it comes to prodigies...
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he has to.
Looking at the Eternal Domain right now, it seems that Ning Ruan is the most abnormal one.
"Since you're so interested," Long Jun pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "how about we host a banquet and invite her over?"
"Invite her?" The nine-tailed female cultivator paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled. "Lord City Lord, aren't you afraid she has ill intentions? And... what if she doesn't give you face and doesn't come?"
"She will come."
Long Jun's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he gently pinched her face with his fingertips.
"Rumor has it that Ningruan has two great hobbies."
"Kill the strong, and savor the delicacies."
"As long as she doesn't come to Jiaocheng to cause trouble, we'll keep to ourselves."
"As for the latter..." Long Jun's lips curled into a playful smile, "We can simply cater to their preferences."
The fox-woman's eyes lit up, and she leaned even more alluringly into Long Jun's arms, giggling sweetly:
"The city lord is wise."
……
Ning Ruan had not yet received the invitation from the city lord of Jiaocheng.
Then came the scene of the other nine Yunqi Terraces being activated one after another.
I thought Lei Zhen would take the opportunity to cause some trouble.
I didn't expect them to be so cooperative.
Ning Ruan finished the last dessert served by Zuixianfang.
He was about to get up and leave.
From the window behind the private room, I heard a familiar voice.
“I’m not leaving. Afu disappeared at Zuixianfang. I’m going to wait for her here.”
"She's gone, missing, and won't be coming back. She's probably dead too. What's the point of waiting here for thousands or tens of thousands of years?"
"No, Afu is not dead. I know she is not dead."
"Are you crazy? Many of those missing prodigies have even had their life lamps extinguished. How could your granddaughter be an exception? She will definitely not come back."
"No, no, she will come back! I know you have a relationship with the city lord, I can sense that she is in Jiaocheng."
"Damn old man, what nonsense are you spouting? How dare you say such things?"
"I'm not making this up, Afu really is here. I can swear an oath to the heavens, I..."
"Shut up. If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. Take him down."
Ning Ruan's eyes narrowed slightly as she listened.
After a few steps forward, I was already close to the window.
He was about to jump.
The waiter behind him hurried over and said, "Sir, that's a crazy old man down there. He's gone mad because his granddaughter went missing."
Ning Ruan stopped and looked back at her with a half-smile: "Oh? Are you sure he's crazy?"
The waiter's heart skipped a beat, but he managed to maintain a respectful smile.
"Guest, you may not know this, but that old man has been causing trouble at our Zuixianfang for three days now. He insists that his granddaughter disappeared at our Zuixianfang and he's determined to stay here and wait for her."
“But how can we be blamed for this? It’s not like we kidnapped his granddaughter. The only thing he’s doing here is that it’s interfering with our business, and he’s not going to see his granddaughter anyway.”
"If he were just holding out, that would be one thing, but he insists on claiming that his granddaughter is currently in the Jiao clan. He's clearly delirious. How could those missing people possibly be in our Jiao clan?"
"You think so?"
