Chapter 196 Pitiful Liu Ye
Chapter 196 Pitiful Liu Ye
Soon, Long Ming noticed the outskirts of a gigantic city. It was almost comparable to the size of Grand Sky City, if not bigger.
" Interesting, so many floating mountains at the entrance. Perhaps they are sentry towers?"
Long Ming saw guards wearing purple chainmail armors stopping and inspecting everyone on both ground and sky.
As the flying boat of Four Seasons Valley drew near, some guards sat on flying beasts surrounded them.
" Halt! Show your identification before entering the Holy Qilin City." The guard captain shouted.
Meng Zhi walked forward as she showed a token. " We are from Four Seasons Valley. Now, Let us pass."
The token flashed with a four colored radiance, giving slight pressure to the guard captain. The person looked at the token and nodded.
" Welcome to Holy Qilin City. Before entering, I would like to explain some rules of the city, if you don't mind."
" No need for that, We know the rules." Meng Zhi waved her hands, making the guard retreat. contemporary romance
" Very well, you can go ahead."
Long Ming looked at surroundings and saw a gigantic runic net above the city sky, supported by various floating mountains and buildings.
However, what caught his attention was a small group of people surrounding many merchants. One young man with luxrious clothes sat on a red horse with an arrogant face as he held a whip.
" Bastards, You first came before my carriage. And after getting into an accident, you want to lodge complaint against me?"
" Young Master Liu Ye, we were so blind that we didn't notice your carriage." A fat merchant hurriedly spoke. " Besides, We don't dare to ask compensation from you. Young Master, please forgive us."
" Hmph, you think I don't know how poisonous your heart is?" The young man snorted. " Besides, You even dented my precious carriage. You think I will let you go after that?"
" Wh-What do you need, Young Master? I am…I am willing to compensate."
" Hehe, This girl… She is looking pretty fine." The young man spoke with a lecherous voice. " How about sending her to be my maid?"
" Yo-Young Matser! She-She is my daughter. Please…have mercy on her." The merchant knelt before the young man's horse.
" Young Master Liu, Please forgive us."
" Hmph, Bunch of ignorant bastards." The steward standing behind the young man snorted. " Don't you know? It's your blessing that this girl caught the attention of our young master."
" Hehe, Accept your good fortune, Miss. Even if you became the maid of our young master, all you have to do is to keep him happy. Then, he won't treat you badly."
" Hurry up and accept. Or else…"
" Else what?"
A powerful voice echoed as everyone turned around. Like an immortal descending from heaven, Long Ming fell from the sky and landed gracefully.
His Plum Blossoms Fan spread out and one could see the illusory petals swirling around it. " My, I never expected that young master of Holy Qilin City's Liu Family would act like a hooligan. Where is your righteousness, hm?"
" Brat! Who the hell are you? Don't meddle in our young master's business."
" Hmoh, Even after knowing our young master's identity, you dare to speak against him?
However, Liu Ye's face turned ugly when he saw Long Ming's smiling face.
" SHUT UP!"
The subordinates of Liu Ye were stunned when they saw Liu Ye shouting at them and not at Long Ming. Liu Ye then glanced at Long Ming as a smile appeared on his face.
" Ahaha, To think I would meet Brother Long here. It must be fate indeed."
Long Ming didn't glance at him but looked at the merchant troupe. " I guess no one is mortally injured? If that's the case, get up and leave."
" Yes, Young Master."
" Thank you for your grace, Young Noble."
The girl looked at Long Ming with a teary gaze full of respect and gratefulness as she bowed before him. Everyone bowed before Long Ming as they entered the Holy Qilin City.
Liu Ye's face turned bitter when he saw that. However, he didn't dare to provoke Long Ming at all.
" Brother Liu, You better change your habits." Long Ming looked at Liu Ye. " You already used quite a bit of your luck while escaping alive from Azure Sun Secret Realm. However, if you keep tempting your fate, you might not be able to save your reputation and life at all."
Naked warning, It was simply a naked warning from Long Ming. Liu Ye shivered when he heard that.
He already saw Long Ming's strength in Azure Sun Secret Realm.
After Jiang Wanxue and others got ambushed, Liu Ye tried to defend himself. However, when Jiang Wanxue got poisoned, he took the chance and escaped.
Thanks to his luck, he actually escaped from the Central Palace altogether, avoiding the calamity of the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster. Even Long Ming was surprised that Liu Ye managed to escape alive.
" Brother Long, I understand completely. Don't worry, I will change my habit completely." Liu Ye rubbed his palm as he spoke in a bright voice.
' Damn it, That bastard still has that recording jade. If it became public, my social reputation would be ruined completely. I can't make him angry at any cost.' Liu Ye gnashed his teeth as he thought inwardly.
" Anyway, Since it's my first time in Holy Qilin City, Shouldn't Brother Liu tour me around?" Long Ming smiled as he looked at Liu Ye.
" This… Of course. It would be my pleasure." Liu Ye sighed. He wanted to quickly escape from this smiling demon. But he realized that Long Ming was controlling him completely.
" Brother Long, As per the rule of Holy Qilin City, unauthorized flying is strictly prohibited in Holy Qilin City." Liu Ye looked at Long Ming and spoke.
" Not to mention, Releasing aura above the Harmonization Realm is also prohibited. Killing in broad daylight is also punishable and defying the imperial authority is simply a no go. These are the few yet important rules of Holy Qilin City."
Long Ming chuckled. " Don't worry, Brother Liu. If I want to kill someone, I will do it in such a way that it won't point at me."
Liu Ye shuddered when he heard that. " Haha, Brother Long is truly good at joking. Did you come alone?"
" No, Some others from Four Seasons Valley also came with me." Long Ming looked behind and saw Meng Zhi, Ming Yuexin, and Mu Qinglian step down from the flying boat and land on the ground.
Everyone couldn't help but get mesmerized by the three beauties. Even Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a flame of desire when he saw the slender and sexy figure of Meng Zhi.
However, he suppressed the feeling in his heart. He could feel that none of these three women were simple at all. One wrong step and he might lose his neck.
" This is Saintess of Four Seasons Valley, Mu Qinglian. This one is core disciple Ming Yuexin, And this one is Elder Meng Zhi." Long Ming introduced them.
" Greetings, Fellow Sisters. I am Liu Ye, the young master of the Liu Family of Holy Qilin City. My father is the current Finance Minister of the Holy Qilin Empire." Liu Ye cupped his fist.
" I see. Brother Liu, We met again." Ming Yuexin sneered lightly as she glanced at Liu Ye. " I am really thankful for the hospitality of last time."
Liu Ye recognized Ming Yuexin as he let out a forced smile. " Sister Ming doesn't need to embarrass me for my meager effort."
" Hmph, But thanks to you, I had some quality time with my Brother Long." Ming Yuexin cast a side glance at Long Ming, smacking her lips seductively as she remembered how Long Ming treated the aphrodisiac.
" Hmm?"
Mu Qinglian felt a hidden meaning behind Ming Yuexin's words. However, seeing Long Ming avoid answering Ming Yuexin, Mu Qinglian can only stand in silence.
" Ahaha, I am glad it happened." Liu Ye spoke as he turned around. " How about this, Since this is your first time in Holy Qilin City, I shall guide you around here."
" Brother Liu, We are pretty tired. So, We would like to get a room in an inn first." Long Ming looked at him.
" Very well, The Yuxing Tower is one of the best inns here. Not only the rooms are suitable for cultivation, but the food there is very good as well." Liu Ye didn't take any time as he answered.
Long Ming saw the streets were wide and paved with spirit limestones. He was impressed by the cleanliness and hygiene, and the traffic control was also good.
The City was divided into three parts, Outer City, Inner City, and Core City. The Outer City where commoners lived. The Inner City was the place where various noble families, Sect Abodes, ancient families, and other powerful forces resided.
The Core City simply belonged to the Imperial Qin Family. The Imperial Palace and other buildings of the imperial family were in the Core City.
Liu Ye did his best to appease Long Ming along the way. Soon, they reached a tall and ancient building. Long Ming could see the plaque in front of the building saying Yuxing Tower.
" Very well, Brother Liu, Please book the highest tier room for us." Long Ming nodded as he looked at Liu Ye.
" And, I am sure you don't need money from me, right?"
