Chapter 1288 - 348: Blossoms of Romance
The woman ahead, her gaze seemed to linger subtly on Qin Xiaochuan’s side, her eyes brimming with tenderness, making Qin Xiaochuan’s heart race and his blood roil.
Such a feeling, at thirty-something years old, Qin Xiaochuan had never experienced before.
He had a premonition, his spring was coming!
"Judging by that lady’s appearance, she should be in town to perform. It’s true, with the City Lord Meeting about to commence, they’ll surely recruit some theatrical troupes to perform at the City Lord’s Mansion, to liven things up. Later, I must find a way to inquire about the troupe’s lodging."
Qin Xiaochuan silently made up his mind, just as he was contemplating whether to step forward and initiate a conversation, Huang Jun nudged him.
"Senior brother, it looks like Ling Yue and the others have run into some trouble."
Up ahead, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen were being stopped.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaochuan, along with Huang Jun and the others, moved forward together.
It turned out, upon checking Ye Lingyue’s credentials, she claimed to be the City Lord of Huangquan City.
"How dare you impersonate the City Lord! Guards, expel this insolent person and her accomplice from Shui City."
The guards cast a few contemptuous glances at Ye Lingyue, ready to drive them away.
Of course, Huang Jun and the others were unwilling, and a commotion ensued.
"What’s the matter? Why the uproar?"
A woman’s voice echoed from the city gate, and a young woman clad in a water-blue Battle Armor stepped out.
Her hair like a waterfall of gold, brown eyes, tall and striking, she was a cold and alluring beauty.
This woman was none other than Luo Qianche, the sole daughter of the Shui City’s City Lord, a female warrior whose cultivation had reached the Small Divine Power Realm.
"Young City Lord, someone is impersonating the Huangquan City Lord, we’re about to drive them out."
The soldiers, upon seeing her, hurriedly bowed in salute.
The woman glanced at Ye Lingyue, and seeing her ordinary attire along with the dark face, a hint of scorn flitted across her brows.
It’s not surprising Ye Lingyue and the others were looked down upon, for the other new city lords had already arrived, each entering in dedicated carriages or riding Spiritual Beasts, accompanied by dozens of guards.
In contrast, Ye Lingyue and her company, not to mention Ye Lingyue’s unimpressive appearance, lacked even a hint of Power of Reincarnation, making the guards naturally assume she was a fraud.
But swiftly, the woman’s gaze locked onto Di Shen.
Seeing Di Shen’s appearance clearly, Luo Qianche was momentarily stunned.
What a handsome man! Shui City, rich in talents and beauty, indeed nurtured attractive citizens, and Luo Qianche herself had been praised as a beauty since childhood, having countless pursuers. Yet, standing before her, Di Shen truly amazed her.
With dark eyes, brows like paintings, flawless features, although young, his aura and dominance made Luo Qianche’s heart flutter.
As the City Lord’s daughter, Luo Qianche had heard of Huangquan City’s new city lord being very young. If this exceptional man was the new city lord, Luo Qianche might believe it, but the woman beside him claimed to be the City Lord.
Luo Qianche frowned, noticing Di Shen’s hand encircling Ye Lingyue’s waist, their intimate posture plainly visible.
Luo Qianche felt uneasy; in her twenty-something years, she had never looked directly at a man, but this man already seemed to have a Dual Cultivation partner.
However, what mattered was whether this man was with someone else; her conditions were far superior to that dark-faced woman, and as the Young City Lord, if she actively expressed goodwill, this handsome man would inevitably fall into her arms.
"Miss, you claim to be the Huangquan City Lord, do you have any proof?"
Luo Qianche inquired, though her questions were directed at Ye Lingyue, her eyes were locked onto Di Shen.
This greatly displeased Ye Lingyue.
She tossed an annoyed glance at Di Shen, mumbling to herself, what a Blue-skinned Calamity indeed; next time, she’ll wrap Di Shen’s face like a mummy, see how he charms anyone then.
Di Shen innocently rubbed his nose, his eyes filled with innocent explanations.
"Wife, it’s not my fault my face looks like this, blame the parents~."
"I have the City Seal on me, as well as this recommendation letter from the Gold City Lord."
Ye Lingyue produced the letter and was about to retrieve the City Seal, but Luo Qianche’s face changed at the sight of the letter, and she shouted sharply.
"Guards, seize this impostor."
Upon hearing this, the guards drew their Spiritual Artifacts, and in an instant, the city gate bristled with crossbows, the tension rising.
"How unreasonable! Let’s fight; who’s afraid?"
On the other side, Huang Jun, Qin Xiaochuan, and others were furious.
A Young City Lord daring to confront a City Lord, is this a rebellion?
"Miss, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Lingyue sharply caught a strong aura of hostility from Luo Qianche.
"An impostor is an impostor, and you dare claim you’re recommended by Gold City’s City Lord Yang? The Gold City Lord has been bedridden for days, forget writing, it’s hard for him to even lift a pen, yet you claim he personally penned your letter."
After speaking, Luo Qianche activated her internal Water Power, forming a water whip.
The whip cracked in the air several times, and by Luo Qianche’s side, a surge of Water Power gathered.
Vast waves of Primordial Power transformed into countless shadows of the whip, surging toward Ye Lingyue.
Just then, Di Shen moved like lightning, standing in front of Ye Lingyue, grabbing Luo Qianche’s whip without regard for the Water Power.
In front of everyone, Di Shen flicked his wrist, activating an invisible Primordial Power.
Luo Qianche’s Spirit Whip suddenly broke, and she retreated a few steps.
The surrounding guards couldn’t help but gasp.
The Young City Lord’s Shadowless Whip, broken?
It’s known the Young City Lord’s Shadowless Whip was unmatched in Shui City; she herself boasted that anyone who could break her whip within ten moves, if a man, she would marry; if a woman, she would submit.
"You!" Luo Qianche’s face flushed with a mix of colors, but facing Di Shen’s exceedingly charming eyes, she bit her lip, "You’ve broken my Shadowless Whip, thus you qualify to enter Shui City. If only you don’t accompany that impostor, I can let you enter alone."
With that, her beautiful eyes fixated on Di Shen.
Ye Lingyue pouted, glaring at Di Shen.
Di Shen glanced at his wife, shrugging.
"Who cares about entering this broken city, wherever my wife is, that’s where I’ll be."
