Chapter 269: Long Yang the Emissary
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh
Sounds of light footstep echoed out . Standing amongst the crowd, Wu Qi peered towards the entrance curiously .
A faint fragrance wafted into the hall with the breeze . Suddenly, it was as if a clump of cloud suddenly emerged at the entrance, as a young man came walking slowly into the hall . He stood about seven feet tall, and was clad in a loose lotus-white outfit which fashioned between long robe and palace dress, yet was very hard to tell the difference between them, while a large mantle draped over his shoulder .
This young man had an outlook that Wu Qi found it hard to properly describe . He was like a jade sculpture, smooth and delicate; every particular gesture and behavior of his was gentle and well-proportioned, fitting perfectly with moral standard and principle . Everything on him, every single strand of his hair, the tiny dot of pinkish rouge between his brows, they all looked like the act of nature, which did not project any discordance that looked offending to the eye . Slowly, he walked into the hall, bowed slightly to offer a greeting to Yan Dan and Qu Ping, then said, "Long Yang offers greeting, Your Majesty!" Then, he turned to Yan Dan, smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and now the once Your Highness Crown Prince has become Your Majesty . "
*Clang!* A few maids standing behind Yan Dan accidentally dropped and crashed the jade plates and bowls that were held in their hands . Their faces turned deadly pale immediately, and were dragged away to behind the hall by a few imperial eunuchs, who had a strange look in their eyes .
Nearly all the civilian and military officials in the hall swallowed a lump in their throats at the same time . Apart from Wu Qi and a few other people who could still keep a clear mind, when all the other people saw Duke of Long Yang for the first time, they immediately felt their flesh creep .
The outfit clad by Duke of Long Yang looked like the style of both a man and woman, but it also did not look exactly like the style of either a man or woman . Furthermore, when one looked at his visage, his stature, and his gestures and behavior, one could take him as a peerlessly handsome man, but at the same time, a lady with an exceptional beauty . In brief, if one thought he were a man, he would be a pretty man; if one thought he were a lady, he would be a beautiful lady who was least thirty percent more attractive than Yuji or Yue Tan .
Standing among Great Yan's civilian and military officials, Lao Ai had his eyes fixed straight at Duke of Long Yang . Suddenly, sounds of silk tearing and ripping were heard coming from between his crotch . Lao Ai let out a muffled snort, quickly bent his body, and cleared his throat . Then, not giving out any excuses to cover his embarrassment, he spun, turned into a gust of wind, and disappeared from the hall .
In the meanwhile, a few Great Chu's military officials, who had a rather vigorous blood and energy, were seen bending their bodies embarrassingly . Struck with panic, they turned their glances and dared not to give Duke of Long Yang a second look . They knew this Duke of Long Yang was a man, but for a man who looked more feminine than ordinary ladies, he was actually a demon who made them fear him more than Lao Ai . Everybody knew what kind of a strange cultivation technique that Lao Ai was practicing, and as men themselves, they would only feel jealous of his Great Sun Technique .
But Duke of Long Yang could make men with a weaker mind to be gradually attracted by his look and behavior, and eventually fall in love with him . And this made every single man in this hall, who did not have the special interest towards other men, feel a tremendous terror rising up from the bottom of their hearts . At the thought that they actually fall in love with a man at first sight, such terror simply made every man with a normal sexual orientation feel a chilled stream flow through their hearts .
As if he had just seen a ghost, with both hands shivering, Lu Chengfeng turned his body sideways and turned his pale green face over to Wu Qi . Carefully, he transmitted his voice to Wu Qi, "Why is this Duke of Long Yang looking like this? He . . . how could he be more attractive than those ladies?"
Wu Qi forced out a few laughs under his breath . He too dared not to take a few more looks at Duke of Long Yang, as this was a man who carried an offensive strength stronger and more evil than Lao Ai . Although there were Seven Holy Deities and Devils who kept guard in Wu Qi's spiritual ocean, when he caught the first glimpse of Duke of Long Yang, his mind was immediately shaken, and he barely managed to stabilize his soul with the power of Divine Flame of Order, to keep his mind clear .
This was a peerless demon that could attract both men and women, a demon even more psycho than Lao Ai . Although he looked as warm and gentle as a jade from his appearance, as if he would never post any threat, based on Wu Qi's instinct, this man was a pearl condensed from arsenic . He was at least ten thousand times deadlier than all the poisonous matters under the heaven .
Yan Dan cleared his throat and broke the strange atmosphere in the hall . He forced out a smile and said, "Duke of Long Yang, it must have been a very tiring journey for you to come from such a faraway place . Please have a seat! Hmm, prepare seats for all the ministers in the hall . We shall not let everyone keep standing like this!" Yan Dan did notice how those civilian and military officials bent their body embarrassingly, and thus, he thought it would be better that everyone could just sit down .
Some imperial eunuchs quickly brought many low tables into the hall and placed them accordingly . With that, everyone could finally sit down on their knees .
Only after everyone took their seat did Duke of Long Yang use a very graceful manner, so graceful that it would make all beautiful ladies under the heaven be jealous to the maximum, slowly picked up a teacup that was handed to him by two maids whose faces were blushing . Gently, he curled up his red lips and took a light sip of the fragrant tea that was supplied by Great Yan's imperial palace . After that, he placed down the teacup, face blooming with a smile as he said, "A very nice tea . It is rich in fragrance, indeed an excellent tea . "
Waving his hands and flinging both long sleeves behind him, Duke of Long Yang raised his head, smiled at Yan Dan, and said, "It was not a tiring journey, really . Prime Minister Lu has constructed the teleportation formation, and what Long Yang did was just take a few steps, and I came from Great Wei's imperial palace straight to this place . So, what was so tiring about it?"
The tender and charming gesture of Long Yang had made many people in the hall have their minds wandering to some outer space . And this time, even Wu Qi nearly failed in withstanding Long Yang's behavior . He pinched on his own thigh furiously, and relying on the severe pain, he managed to wake himself up completely . Lu Chengfeng, sitting right next to him, simply took out a small awl and poked straight into his thigh, then gave it a fierce twist . Only then was he able to keep a clear and sensible mind .
Yet, over seventy percent of the civilian and military officials in the hall simply had their eyes rested straight on Duke of Long Yang, showing a greedy and lustful expression on their faces . They looked like they could not wait to devour this man with just one mouth . Fortunately, he was Great Wei's emissary . If he were an ordinary man, perhaps he would have long been abducted by someone, and the wife and concubines of some influential official from either Great Yan or Great Chu would discover that their husband had lost interest in them .
Yan Dan swallowed a lump in his throat, forced a smile, and said, "That's . . . excellent . Is there anything that Duke of Long Yang wishes to share with us, the Great Yan and Great Chu, during your visit this time?"
