Chapter 706 A Legend
Bi Yan glanced at Feng Xingyun.
Feng Xingyun’s heart skipped a beat. He instinctively lowered his head, not daring to meet the Green Fox G.o.d’s eyes.
However, Bi Yan was still looking at him. The look in her eyes seemed to be calm, yet it generated a pressure that ordinary living beings were unable to withstand.
In the end, Feng Xingyun had no choice but to bend over. He said, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made trouble in the main shrine hall, but Li Yidao forced me to do so. Your Majesty, I hope you can be fair and just in handling this matter, I…”
Bi Yan said, “Do G.o.ds need you to teach them how to act?”
Feng Xingyun immediately stopped talking and bowed his head, looking anxious and frightened.
He had a very strange feeling.
Bi Yan’s words were not tinged with anger, but each of them hammered his heart hard like a thunderbolt, making his heart pound wildly. A feeling of uncontrollable fear welled up inside him.
“Is this the power of a G.o.d?”
This was the first time Feng Xingyun saw a deity, so he couldn’t control his emotions.
Bi Yan looked at Li Mu.
In her eyes, Li Mu saw indifference, emotionless coldness, and calmness towards all the people without discrimination.
“Li Yidao, making trouble in the main shrine hall is blasphemy. How dare you draw your broadsword in the shrine hall?” Bi Yan said in a tone as cold as a glacier.
Li Mu was stunned.
Bi Yan, the Green Fox G.o.d, continued. “Since it’s your first offense, I forgive you this time. However, if you continue acting so arrogantly, you won’t be able to get out of this place. Do you understand?”
Li Mu nodded thoughtfully.
The other pract.i.tioners, masters, and big shots had a very strange feeling upon hearing her words.
The Green Fox G.o.d seemed to be treating Li Yidao preferentially. She treated and talked to Feng Xingyun in a brusque manner, but she connived in what Li Yidao did. She seemed to be rebuking him, but what she said was more like a piece of advice or warning.
Only Bai Yuanshou, the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, and a few others understood things clearly.
“Bi Yan, the Green Fox G.o.d, had once had a relations.h.i.+p with Li Yidao in the mundane world. How could she really blame him?”
Actually, the chief and several elders of the Green Fox Tribe admired Li Yidao very much. He seemed to have a mysterious magic power. Wherever he went, there would always be a n.o.ble helping him. Every time he was in danger, someone would step up and speak up for him… This was luck. He was incredibly lucky.
In the end, Li Mu made obeisance and said goodbye to the people in the main shrine hall.
He canceled the appointment with the chief of the Green Fox Tribe.
It was because he had seen Bi Yan and understood something.
“The Jianghu is a long way to go.
“Bi Yan is shouldering the responsibilities of a deity now. She is no longer the little girl that I knew in the good old days.
“She can’t go back to the past.
“She has awakened the memories hidden in her bloodline.
“Bi Yan is a completely different person now, isn’t she?”
Li Mu walked out of the main shrine hall holding Hua Xiangrong’s hand.
The guards of the Heavenly Fox Clan escorted the two of them through the winding corridors and out of the main shrine hall. They saw the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, who was waiting for them in the square.
“Young Master, how is it going?” The Posthouse Officer came up to greet them.
A smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum appeared on his chubby face.
Evidently, he was very happy with the reward he had received in the shrine hall.
Li Mu even vaguely felt that the energy waves in Dongfang Piaoliang’s body had become stronger. He might have obtained some kind of magic or secret skill.
“I’m good.” Li Mu nodded and said, “Let me introduce this lady to you. She is my fiancée.”
Actually, Dongfang Piaoliang already thought of something the moment he saw Li Mu holding Hua Xiangrong’s hand just now. When Li Mu introduced the lady, he did not feel surprised at all. He just felt that this woman wearing a white dress and a veil covering her face had an inexplicable charm. He didn’t even dare to take another look at her. He always felt that the dazzling white color might drag his soul into it.
However, Li Mu continued with the introduction. “The Lady of the Clouds.”
Dongfang Piaoliang was suddenly dumbfounded with his mouth wide open.
That name made him feel a little dizzy.
“The Lady of the Clouds is the most beautiful woman in the Ziwei Star Zone.
“Li Yidao has just attended a banquet. In less than four hours, he has taken the Lady of the Clouds away from the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan. He… he is simply G.o.dlike.”
Dongfang Piaoliang didn’t feel it appropriate to ask any more questions, so he followed closely behind the two of them dizzily.
Even after they returned to the posthouse by flying shuttle, he still found it a little difficult to believe everything that happened.
He vaguely guessed that something great must have happened at the banquet in the shrine hall.
As soon as they walked into the room, Hua Xiangrong flung herself into Li Mu’s arms.
Before Li Mu had time to react, Hua Xiangrong kissed Li Mu with her tender lips.
“Um…”
It happened so quickly that Li Mu had no chance to react.
Hua Xiangrong had always been quiet and elegant, but now she suddenly became extremely pa.s.sionate like an active volcano that suddenly erupted. Before Li Mu had any time to react, she had pressed her soft body tightly against him.
“Hua’er, we…” Li Mu wanted to say something.
But Hua Xiangrong directly kissed Li Mu on the lips.
Li Mu felt the surges of pa.s.sion from the beauty in his arms, which were like lava flows that were about to engulf him.
“Li Mu, I’ve been drifting in the Star River for too long, and I’ve always been afraid that I can’t find you. But I don’t care now. I don’t care how things will turn out, what the future will be like, or what will happen tomorrow. I just want to give myself to you right now. I’ll live and die for you only.”
Hua Xiangrong was panting, and her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes looked unprecedentedly determined.
Li Mu still wanted to say something.
Hua Xiangrong leaned against him in a tone that sounded like both pleading and ordering, she said, “Don’t say no to me.”
Li Mu’s last defense suddenly disappeared without a trace.
All the thoughts in his mind vanished. He held her soft and tender body tightly with his arms and responded to her in the most pa.s.sionate and enthusiastic way.
He waved his hand and created several magic formations serving as the isolation barriers.
The rustling sounds of undressing rang out in the room.
As the old saying goes, “Walls have ears.”
Rumors about what happened at the banquet in the Heavenly Fox Temple soon spread around the Imperium Vulpes Divine City.
The story of the love triangle between Li Yidao, Huangfu Chengdao, and the Lady of the Clouds spread in the fastest and wildest way. In less than one day, almost all the people in every street and alley had begun to talk about it.
Heroes and beauties had always been the most popular topic of discussion.
Li Yidao was a hero.
Although Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, had never set foot on the Immortal-slaying Platform during the compet.i.tion between Heavenly Legends, he could definitely be considered a hero given his glorious achievements.
The two most outstanding super Heavenly Legends of the younger generation in the Ziwei Star Zone had a falling out over the most beautiful woman in the Ziwei Star Zone. This undoubtedly coincided with people’s expectations for a legend.
Moreover, many people told the pa.s.sionate love story of Li Yidao and the Lady of the Clouds after embellis.h.i.+ng it, which made countless people admire and bless the couple.
At the banquet in the main shrine hall, Feng Xingyun the “Nether Ghost”, who ranked second on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, sowed discord between Li Yidao and Huangfu Chengdao, which affected the Lady of the Clouds. Li Yidao directly ignored everything and drew his saber to kill Feng Xingyun at the banquet. He almost killed the most outstanding successor of the Nether Ghost Clan on the spot. That event became a note to the pa.s.sionate love story.
The behaviors of these two people highlighted the legendary story about the perfect couple of Li Yidao and the Lady of the Clouds.
Undoubtedly, Li Yidao benefited the most from the legend.
In the eyes of the public, he was a hero who drew the broadsword to defend his lover and was willing to sacrifice everything for his lover.
The Heavenly Fox Clan had always been advocating freedom and love. In the Ziwei Star Zone, there were stories about the love between fox girls and scholars everywhere. Therefore, almost overnight, countless pract.i.tioners of the Heavenly Fox Clan recognized and appreciated what Li Mu did.
In contrast, Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, and Feng Xingyun, the “Nether Ghost”, became the biggest losers.
Of course, more people that were observant noticed some things behind the story about the banquet in the main shrine hall.
For example, Li Yidao made a cut in the area between Feng Xingyun’s eyebrows with his broadsword. That seemed to coincide with the previous guesses about Li Yidao’s strength—he had the strength to rank first on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, and he was invincible once he drew his mysterious broadsword. It was said that if Li Yidao had not stayed his hand for the sake of Bai Yuanshou, the Pontifex Vulpes, Feng Xingyun would probably have been killed on the spot.
Li Yidao’s strength was really terrifying.
Even Huangfu Chengdao, the top Heavenly Legend, might not necessarily kill Feng Xingyun with one move. These two people were old rivals, and they had fought with each other many times. Although Huangfu Chengdao got the upper hand, he had never made Feng Xingyun that embarra.s.sed.
Li Yidao had accomplished something that Huangfu Chengdao could not.
Many great powers had secretly adjusted their strategies for dealing with Li Yidao.
“He is going to die. He must die!”
In the residence of the Nether Ghost Clan, Feng Xingyun was so angry that he smashed his favorite jade ware like a ferocious beast. He could hardly control his emotions.
The armored guards of the Nether Ghost Clan had never seen their young master being so angry and out of control.
“Young Master, I am willing to fight that b.a.s.t.a.r.d from the inferior world to the death, behead him, and come back to you with his head.”
A loyal guard volunteered, kneeling on one knee on the ground.
Feng Xingyun’s eyes fell on the face of his trusted guard.
For a moment, he was wavering.
This guard was a companion who had grown up together with Feng Xingyun. He was also a peerless genius of the Nether Ghost Clan. However, due to his humble background, he did not have a high social status, but he was absolutely powerful. He had already entered the King Realm. If he was sent to a.s.sa.s.sinate Li Yidao, he would definitely have a chance of success.
However…
“No. We can’t do it now.”
In the end, Feng Xingyun managed to hold back his killing intent.
