Although Duan Ling Tian did not reply to Long Fei Yun’s question, Long Fei Yun was able to infer the answer based on Duan Ling Tian’s reaction. He thought to himself, ‘I didn’t expect Miss Huan’er would be so beautiful. Any normal man would definitely be attracted to her. No wonder she constantly wears a veil and a hat. Otherwise, she’ll definitely attract a lot of trouble!’
Although Long Fei Yun had known Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er for a relatively long time now, Huan’er had never taken off her veil and hat in front of Long Fei Yun. For this reason, he had no idea how Huan’er looked like. Even now, his heart was still racing when he thought about Huan’er’s flawlessly beautiful face.
“Duan Ling Tian,” Qin Yu looked at Duan Ling Tian with a grave expression as he said, “The Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom is definitely furious since you allowed her to kill the sixth prince and the others. Given your relations.h.i.+p with the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, he might not be able to openly trouble you, but there’s no doubt that he could use many underhanded means to trouble you.” His eyes s.h.i.+fted to Long Fei Yun before it settled on the portrait on the table. The person in the painting was flawlessly beautiful that she could bring an entire nation to its knees. “For example, the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom could expose the person in the portrait… At that time, everyone would know there’s an otherworldly beauty next to you. I’m afraid there are many high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland who would covet her.”
Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened.
Meanwhile, Long Fei Yun also realized the severity of the situation. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he fiercely said, “I’ll visit the residence of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom and warn the emperor. If they dare to expose Miss Huan’er, I won’t let them get away with it.” However, with his current strength, he could not really threaten an emperor of an intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdom. Even so, he could threaten the people below the emperor. Killing one or two princes was still within the scope of his abilities. After he finished speaking, he left immediately.
Duan Ling Tian did not stop Long Fei Yun, he was too immersed in finding a solution to this problem. He had a strong feeling that the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom had already spread Huan’er’s portraits and the information that she was with the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
Indeed, Duan Ling Tian had hit the nail on the head. As soon as Long Fei Yun stepped out, he heard many discussions about Huan’er portraits.
“Have you seen the portraits that are circulating?”
“You mean the one of the flawlessly beautiful woman? If so, yes, I’ve seen them. I even heard she’s staying in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence.”
“I heard she’s close to the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom… To be precise, she has a close relations.h.i.+p with one of the men who has a close relations.h.i.+p with the thirteenth prince.”
Upon hearing the discussions in his surroundings, Long Fei Yun’s expression turned grim. A hint of killing intent surged out of his body. He thought the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom really deserved to die. “d.a.m.n it! The Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom really moved fast!”
…
In the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom’s residence that was arranged by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
“Your Majesty, I’ve already spread word that the woman in portraits is in Tai Yi City and staying in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence.” A middle-aged man reported to the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.
After that, the subordinates of the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom stepped forward one after another to report to the emperor.
“Your Majesty, the woman’s portraits have spread to almost half of Tai Yi City. Most of those people know that she’s staying with the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.”
“Your Majesty, as you requested, I’ve already brought one of the portraits to Elder Teng Qing of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and informed him about the woman’s whereabouts.”
“Your Majesty, I’ve also brought a portrait to Elder Huang Chao from the Tai Yi Sect.”
Upon hearing his subordinate’s reports, Yun Qi Ling, the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, had a malicious expression on his face. “Good, good…Very good! I’d like to see if the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom would still be able to protect that woman!”
Yun Qi Ling continued muttering to himself, “You dare to kill my son, I’ll make your life a living h.e.l.l! I’ll make you wish for death! So what if you’re powerful and have powerful allies? Do you think you can go against the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland? Even if you don’t die, you’ll end up being a toy to one of those men. Who knows they might even share you among themselves!” He seemed a little mad as he muttered to himself. It was clear he wanted the person who killed his son, s.h.i.+ Lei, the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, to die. The person was none other than Huan’er.
He laughed sinisterly as he continued muttering to himself, “As for that purple-clad young man… I might not be able to kill you, but I doubt you’d feel nothing if that woman ends up as someone else’s toy!”
Yun Qi Ling’s behavior was terrifying, but none of his subordinates dared to make a sound.
Whether it was Elder Teng Qing from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, Guardian Xue from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, or Elder Huang Chao from the Tai Yi Sect, they were known for being lecherous. They treated women like toys. Coincidentally, all three men were in Tai Yi City.
Therefore, Yun Qi Ling had asked his servants to distribute Huan’er’s portraits and reveal her whereabouts. He took extra care to spread this information to Teng Qing, Xue Lang, and Huang Chao as well.
…
“There is this kind of beauty in this world?! I must have her! She must be mine and mine alone!” Huang Chao, an elder of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, became excited when he saw Huan’er’s portrait. Desire flashed strongly in his eyes. He did not waste any time and quickly made his way to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence.
After Elder Huang Chao of Tai Yi Celestial Sect had seen the portrait of Huan’er. His calm face suddenly became extremely red. The kind of pa.s.sionate expression he had on his face was full of desire.
…
“I must have this woman!”
“Such a perfect woman! She’s worthy of me, Xue Lang, personally escorting her back with me!”
Similarly, Teng Qing, an elder from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, and Xue Lang, the Guardian of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, were spurred into action as soon as they saw Huan’er portrait. They did not waste any time and began to make their way to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence as well.
In the eyes of these three men, Huan’er was like a rare treasure they absolutely had to obtain. All of them wanted her to themselves.
…
Meanwhile, the people in Tai Yi City were busy discussing Huan’er as well.
“What a beautiful woman!”
“Heavens!! Who knew there’s such a beauty in this world… I heard she’s from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom?”
“I heard she has a good relations.h.i.+p with the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.”
“Since when did the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom have such beauty? How unexpected. I thought I knew everything there’s to know about every kingdom!”
It took only half a day for everyone in Tai Yi City to learn about an extremely flawless beauty who was staying with the people from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Just her portrait alone was enough to make the surroundings pale in comparison.
…
All was not peaceful in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence as well.
Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, was also shocked by Huan’er’s beauty. He was curious if Duan Ling Tian would be able to protect her now that the situation has gotten out of hand.
“Who knew the woman who’s constantly wearing a veil and a hat next to Fei Yun is so beautiful?! She seems to be very close with the purple-clad young man beside Fei Yun. Now that her appearance has been exposed, they would surely attract a lot of trouble. What a rare beauty! Most men would definitely covet her. If I have the power, I’d s.n.a.t.c.h her away as well… However, the purple-clad young man isn’t a pushover. I wonder if he’ll be able to protect that woman now that news of her has spread in the entire city?”
