Chapter 116.1: Trustworthy Brothers; Gu Changge’s Puppets!
Bai Lie looked forward to Yin Mei’s arrival with Ye Ling and the others. Finally, when the moonlight reached its peak intensity, a gentle voice reached his ears from outside the pavilion, “Bai Lie, I am here!”
The voice soothed the listeners’ minds and they felt somewhat intoxicated.
Yin Mei’s arrival overjoyed Bai Lie and he rushed to the pavilion’s entrance to welcome his fiancee. A group of Young Heavenly Geniuses stood up and followed behind him to have a look as well — their eyes lit up as soon as they saw the newcomer’s appearance.
In front of them stood a breathtaking beauty whose appearance wouldn’t tire them out even if they were made to look at her forever. It was no wonder that even a man with an iron will like Bai Lie fell for her and couldn’t stop talking about her.
‘Yin Mei, the Holy Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Family…’
Yin Mei’s beauty amazed him every time Ye Ling saw her.
What’s more? Yin Mei dolled up today and even put on some make-up, so she looked even more alluring than before, and that fact aroused great envy in Ye Ling’s heart.
“Yin Mei, you are finally here!”
Bai Lie said with an indulgent expression as he looked outside the window with a smile.
“That’s right.”
A woman dressed in red replied with a soft smile.
Flowers bloomed under her feet with her every step and her gorgeous face radiated a mind-numbing charm. Her beauty couldn’t be put into words…she resembled a G.o.ddess who descended upon the world of mortals from the Heavens beyond.
Her unique allure made her stand out from the rest of the beauties present on the scene and one could see a demonic vixen’s charm in her every gesture. Her ethereal, jade-like visage was in full view for all to adore as she descended from the Void.
A lovely, upturned nose, lips that resembled petals of the most beautiful roses, crystal-like teeth, and smooth-as-satin hair…these features, together with the dim moonlight that illuminated her figure, compounded her heaven-defying attraction.
She stepped into the pavilion with her vivacious figure and peerless, fairly-like allure that could charm all beings in the world.
It was clear that Yin Mei specially dressed up today to make herself look more beautiful than ever before!
This was the first time Bai Lie saw Yin Mei look so ravishing; he was stunned but quickly calmed his heart which was lit with the fire of desire.
“Yin Mei, you look incomparably gorgeous!”
Yin Mei rolled her eyes at him in response and said with a bashful tone, “You smooth talker!”
Bai Lie’s soul almost left his body and his bones turned into jelly as he listened to Yin Mei’s words and watched her lovely, bashful expression.
But soon, a hint of displeasure and discomfort appeared on his face as he watched the burning gazes of all the young geniuses in his surroundings sizing up his woman, including his virtuous little brother, Ye Ling’s.
After all, Yin Mei especially dolled up for him, so how could he not feel bad when other men watched her with those l.u.s.tful gazes?
Bai Lie’s heroic and generous personality didn’t mean that he wasn’t a possessive man who wanted to keep his woman to himself.
Without holding back his dissatisfaction, he gave out a cold snort and brought everyone in the surroundings back to their minds.
The Young Heavenly Geniuses moved their gazes away in embarra.s.sment as soon as they listened to his snort. Ye Ling, too, withdrew his gaze and raised his cup of wine for a sip to make it seem like he was innocent in the matter, and then said with a calm tone, “Big Bro Bai, your luck is unmatched by any!”
Bai Lie would feel elated if Ye Ling said those words on any other occasion, but right now, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat uncomfortable since he knew well of Ye Ling’s personality.
“Yin Mei, you arrived right on time! I was talking about you just now.”
Still, Bai Lie ignored Ye Ling’s remark and greeted Yin Mei with a smile. At the same time, he instructed the people in the pavilion to resume the banquet.
Yin Mei took the initiative to look for him at last and even dolled up for him, so he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic. Bai Lie even felt that something wonderful might happen tonight, so much so that he might even get a chance to hold his lovely fiancee in his arms.
After all, the night was long and they were also going to drink and get intoxicated…
Just thinking about what might happen aroused his excitement.
“I made you wait! A lot of matters went down in the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace recently, so I couldn’t move around as I pleased. It was announced that Senior Brother Gu will be the Palace’s Heir, and his initiation ceremony is also right around the corner.”
“I wouldn’t have dared to leave the Palace if he hadn’t gone out today for some unknown reason!”
Yin Mei explained with a smile and sat down on a seat with grace.
She made sure to keep some distance from the others in her surroundings though, and this only added to Bai Lie’s happiness. He couldn’t wait for the banquet to end so everyone would leave, and he could have a chance to be alone with Yin Mei.
The banquet resumed in fervor.
Yin Mei’s words gave off a feeling of grace and eloquence as she discussed different matters with those in her surroundings.
Bai Lie, however, showed a somewhat dissatisfied expression as he noticed the l.u.s.tful gazes of some of the Young Heavenly Geniuses present on the scene.
Yin Mei looked far too lovely and bright tonight, so it couldn’t be helped that she attracted everyone’s attention.
But soon, that group of young talents noticed the hint from Bai Lie’s expression and said their farewells and left.
Offending Bai Lie for a momentary gaze wasn’t worth it, after all.
Before long, Bai Lie, Yin Mei, and Ye Ling were the only ones left inside the pavilion.
“I would like to offer a cup to you, Holy Maiden! After all, it’s not every day that we get to see a G.o.ddess who dares to stand against Gu Changge!”
“What’s more? Gu Changge dominates the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace, yet you still stood up to him, and that alone makes this little brother’s admiration for you rise to new heights!”
Ye Ling smiled and raised a cup of wine towards Yin Mei with a bow of reverence.
He spoke the truth.
The details of the Myriad Dao Banquet made him fond of Yin Mei, a woman with unyielding integrity.
Moreover, he saw many beauties tonight, but none of them could compare to Yin Mei’s enchanting appearance, and that made him envy his Big Bro Bai Lie’s heaven-defying fortune.
Not only was she a beauty, but she was also the Holy Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Family!
Where could he find another woman on par with her?
Ye Ling downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and showed a prideful expression.
“You flatter me, Brother Ye Ling.”
Ye Ling’s compliment seemed to please Yin Mei, and she toasted him back with a smile.
“I also heard quite some rumors about you, Brother Ye Ling; they say that not only did you reach a tie against Ye Langtian, who’s famous as a Reincarnation of an Ancient Emperor, but you also challenged Senior Brother Gu for a match! Your daring actions shocked me.”
“How are you able to do that even though you know Senior Brother Gu’s might? There aren’t many in the younger generation who can stand on par with you.”
Yin Mei pursed her lips and showed a smile which made her eyes curve up and happily chatted with Ye Ling while keeping a distance between them.
“You flatter me, Holy Maiden! Moreover, what’s there to be afraid of? Gu Changge might be strong, but not everyone in the world fears him.”
Ye Ling replied with a laugh.
Yin Mei’s flattering words comforted his heart and soul, and a strange feeling bud at the bottom of his heart when he realized that the one who praised him was none other than his Big Bro’s hot fiancee.
Still, Ye Ling made sure to conceal his thoughts.
Before long, the two fell into chatter as if there was no one else in their surroundings. From time to time, Yin Mei would roll her eyes at his words, smile, and even cover her mouth to laugh. Her every gesture radiated allure.
Ye Ling, too, showed deep-seated confidence that couldn’t be matched by ordinary people.
Bai Lie witnessed the entire scene in silence with an ugly expression and felt like an outsider even though he sat beside the two of them.
After all, Yin Mei always addressed him politely and never showed such a natural and casual att.i.tude in front of him, but now, she happily chatted with Ye Ling like it brought her great feelings of joy.
Bai Lie’s expression fell further and he felt that Ye Ling, his otherwise-virtuous and great brother, looked like an eyesore right now.
“Ye Ling…”
Bai Lie uttered his name with a heavy expression.
This time, he didn’t refer to Ye Ling as his ‘virtuous Li’l Bro’ and instead, used his full name.
