Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh
Surrounded by brocade curtains, a few luxurious tents were erected right at the center of Star picking City, where the future City Lord's Mansion would be built .
To the north was a tent measuring two hundred feet in diameter . It served as the temporary accommodation for Princess Zhang Le, the Chief Supervisor to the construction of Star picking City . Several hundred feet eastward of it stood another tent, it was the temporary shelter for three Nascent Divinity cultivators from White Cloud Immortal Sect, who were here to help Wu Qi in constructing defensive mechanisms . At present, these Nascent Divinity cultivators were staying inside the tent . If Duke of Long Yang tried to stir up some troubles, he would be immediately greeted with a thunderous strike .
Princess Zhang Le's tent was gorgeously decorated, and it looked just like a magnificent palace . At the moment, Wu Qi was sitting on the seat of honor, while Princess Zhang Le sat right next to him on a soft cushion, gazing straight at Duke of Long Yang with an aggressive look in her eyes . Out of a girl's intuition, Princess Zhang Le maintained a sharp vigilance against any living being that might form a threat to her . Although Duke of Long Yang was a man, he was a man more charming and seductive than any girl, and thus, made him more threatening .
After serving tea to everyone, Bai Zhu'er and Bai Zu'er moved to stand right behind Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le, one on the left and one on the right . Like two little ghosts with green faces and sharp fangs, they too were looking at Duke of Long Yang aggressively . When facing a man who was prettier than any girl, as the serving ladies to Princess Zhang Le, both Bai Zhu'er and Bai Zu'er felt the same way as their princess, filling their minds with a common hatred . After all, in a way, they were considered as Wu Qi's future concubines, and a man such as Duke of Long Yang posed a great threat to them .
Meanwhile, Duke of Long Yang behaved as if nothing were wrong . He gracefully sniffed the aroma of the tea, then shook his head and sighed, saying, "Good tea, good water source, and good charcoal flame . Pity, the skill in controlling the water temperature is slightly weaker . It can be an excellent tea, but now it is just an ordinary fine tea . Aye, if Duke of Tianyun does have the interest in the art of tea making, Long Yang is an expert who can share the knowledge with you . "
Princess Zhang Le immediately glared at him, and was about to throw her temper when Wu Qi hastily placed his palm on her thigh and pressed her down . Her face blushed as Wu Qi grabbed her by the thigh, and she bowed her head like the gentlest girl, carefully rubbing the tip of her cloth and not making a sound again . Yet, Bai Zhu'er and Bai Zu'er had their faces turned black with anger, glaring fiercely at Duke of Long Yang while cursing him in their minds . How dared this Duke of Long Yang comment that their skills in tea making were inferior? After all, the tea was made by both of them with all their skills!
Wu Qi did not respond to Duke of Long Yang's invitation . He picked up a teacup and took a sip out of it, then said in a flat tone, "It is an excellent tea . You sir, are just nitpicking . "
Gazing at Wu Qi with his 'beautiful eyes', Duke of Long Yang said softly, "Well, it is already tough to live in the mortal world, so why should we be so hard to ourselves? Throughout my entire life, be it the food and clothing, everything I used must be carefully selected, as I fear I'll have to suffer from the inferiority!"
While sighing, Duke of Long Yang turned to smile at Princess Zhang Le and said, "For example, the rouge applied on Princess's forehead, is it made by the juice of tricolor roses that bloomed in the first spring night?"
Princess Zhang Le lifted her head with great surprise . "How can you tell that?!"
Duke of Long Yang gave her a charming smile, nodded his head, and said, "Tricolor roses do have a gorgeous color, and it makes a fine makeup . But, just because of its gorgeous color, it suits better to those ladies in the palace who are more mature and sensual . Princess Zhang Le is like a fairy, and you are at your youth . The rouge made using tricolor roses doesn't go well with you . In my opinion, Princess can try the rouge powder made from lilacs . It has a lighter and refined color, and won't cover Princess's Heaven-bestowed skin complexion . Also, it can make your skin more delicate and tender, and feels like powder upon touch . It is the best for you . "
Princess Zhang Le blinked her beautiful big eyes with amazement, rendered speechless by Duke of Long Yang's words .
Wu Qi felt his hair stand up on their ends . This man was truly a peerless demon! Once again, he pressed Princess Zhang Le's thigh, and cried out in a low voice, "Sir, are you here just to discuss rouge and makeup? Be haste and tell me your business here!"
Duke of Long Yang placed down the teacup, covered his mouth with his sleeve and giggled . Then, he suddenly raised his brows and said with a solemn expression, "First thing first, I need an explanation as to why Duke of Tianyun killed my beloved concubine?"
Wu Qi glared at Duke of Long Yang, smiled coldly, and said, "Stop the nonsense! Whether he is your beloved concubine or beloved chicken, that is none of my business! Since you're paid by Lu Buwei to kill me, you better be prepared that you will be killed by me one day! If you're not convinced, I can kill you right here, right now . Let's see if anybody would do anything for you? And, do you think that Wei Wuji will turn hostile against me just because of you?"
Then, he went on and smashed the table before him into pieces, and pulled out an immortal talisman glinting in a green brilliance . His fierce eyes were staring at Duke of Long Yang .
Suddenly, a breeze came blowing into the tent, followed by the appearance of three old men clad in Daoist robes, standing in a row right before Duke of Long Yang . Three incredibly powerful spiritual pressures blotted the air and pressed towards him, while one of the old men said with a cold smile, "Wu Qi is our Patriarch's direct disciple . Anyone who tries to give him trouble is no different from challenging White Cloud Immortal Sect's dignity!"
Duke of Long Yang's face immediately turned as graceful and lovely as the blooming flowers in the spring . Charmingly, he cast an amorous glance at the three old men, covered his mouth, and giggled . Then, he said, "Do you have to be so serious? Long Yang is merely joking with Duke of Tianyun . How could Long Yang really hurt a marvel such as Duke of Tianyun?"
Looking at Duke of Long Yang's behavior, three Nascent Divinity experts from White Cloud Immortal Sect could not help but have their flesh creep . Twitching their lips, they glared at Duke of Long Yang, spun, and vanished into a gust of wind . Since they had already warned him, no matter how courageous Duke of Long Yang was, he would not attack Wu Qi in this place . At the same time, they could not stand to watch a man as seductive and fascinating as Duke of Long Yang, so they chose to avoid him immediately .
Wu Qi waved his hand and threw the broken table out from the tent . Very quickly, Bai Zhu'er and Bai Zu'er brought a brand new table and placed before him . "Sir, please get back to business now . Wu Qi is still young to be excused from being impetuous, and I do not understand those amorous tricks of yours . " cried Wu Qi in a deep voice .
