If you want to ask what is the most luxurious place in Beiming, it must be Qianlong City.
Qianlong City is more than a thousand miles wide and covers an extremely large area. The imperial capital of the Qianlong Empire is located here. The magnificent palaces are well-proportioned and the scenery is as beautiful as carved beams and painted buildings.
The huge Qianlong City is divided into two parts, the Imperial City and the Dragon City. The two are separated by a towering city wall. On the city wall, 10,000 elite generals from the empire are assigned to guard it. Each of them has a
With a good level of cultivation, if any unrelated personnel break into the imperial city privately, they will be shot without mercy.
The Imperial City is splendid and magnificent, just like a fairyland, but no one dares to enter easily. Although Dragon City is not as luxurious and gorgeous as the Imperial City, compared with other towns in Beiming, it is definitely second to none. Moreover, Dragon City can
You can come and go as you like without any restrictions.
In the Dragon City, there are many high-rise buildings and an endless stream of people. The streets are as intricate as spider webs, winding around the city, connecting with each other, and leading to all parts of the city. There is a lot of traffic, bustling, and very lively.
If you ask what is the busiest place in Dragon City today, it must be the Ling family - because today is the birthday party of the head of the Ling family, Ling Xiao!
The Ling family was filled with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going. Various gifts were piled up like mountains. Servants were serving tea and water. Busy figures were walking quickly through the house. A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi stood at the door.
Accepting the congratulations from the guests with a smile.
He is the head of the Ling family - Ling Xiao.
After welcoming the main guests, Ling Xiao happily returned to his room. Ling Yun entered the room, holding a delicate cardboard box in her hand, and said with a soft smile: "Dad, this is a gift I specially prepared for you.
!”
"Okay, Yun'er has grown up and knows how to give gifts to dad. Not bad!" Ling Xiaole bloomed and took the paper box, but did not open it.
Ling Yun asked: "Dad, why don't you open it and take a look? Is it because you don't like my gift?"
"Nonsense." Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Ling Yun, "No matter what the gift from Yun'er is, dad likes it very much. But when Yuming comes to Ling's house later, I have to prepare it carefully. Your gift, etc.
Let dad finish his work and watch it later, okay?"
"No!" Ling Yun pouted, "In order to get this gift, I spent a lot of effort and made a special trip to the Necromantic Abyss..."
"What? Why did you go to the Dead Lingyuan? Why didn't you tell dad?" Ling Xiao's tone became stern, but his eyes were full of care.
"Dad, don't you think I'm back safely now? I'm no longer a child, I can protect myself."
"Yun'er, promise me, you will never allow such a thing to happen in the future." Ling Xiao warned, Ling Yun nodded obediently, his expression softened a little, and he picked up the paper box with some curiosity, opened it and saw that there was
There is a red bird egg, which is emitting a faint heat.
"The egg of the red flame divine bird?" Ling Xiao's expression changed and he asked in surprise: "Yun'er, how did you get this thing?"
The Red Flame Divine Bird is a ferocious beast in the Taiyi Realm. It can kill the Solid Yuan Realm instantly with a random attack. Even Ling Xiao is not sure of getting the Red Flame Divine Bird's egg. His daughter's strength is far inferior to him, so how did he get it?
?
"Steal it." Ling Yun replied matter-of-factly.
"Steal?" Ling Xiao frowned and said, "The Red Flame Divine Bird is not a fool. You stole its eggs. Didn't it react at all?"
"Dad, you don't know that I met a master in the Necromantic Abyss. Although he is not strong, he is very reliable and has rich experience. It was with his help that I successfully stole this
Bird eggs. Moreover, we were very lucky, and we happened to encounter a battle between the Red Flame Snake King and the Red Flame Divine Bird. They had no time to care about us, and we managed to escape without any danger."
"who is he?"
"His name is Qianyu, he comes from Qingyan City, and he has a 'death acupoint'. I don't know the rest."
"Having a "death acupoint"?" Ling Xiao's face changed slightly when he heard this word, "Then isn't he destined to die?"
"Dad, don't forget that the Queen Queen created her own way to break the "Death Aperture". The treasure map I brought happened to record the burial place of the Queen Queen. We found it in the nest of the Red Flame Divine Bird.
He found the remains and relics of the princess. After so many days, he must have broken the "death orifice"..."
"Why haven't you told dad about such an important thing?"
"You didn't ask."
"Uh..." Ling Xiao was speechless, put away the eggs, and said seriously: "Yun'er, dress up well, and go to the door with dad to greet Yu Ming later."
"Dad, I don't want to go."
"Listen to dad and don't mess around." Ling Xiao said seriously, "Yu Ming is here to propose marriage this time. You have to behave well and don't let him down."
"Dad!" Ling Yun said coquettishly, "I don't want to get married yet."
"Yun'er, I can pamper you in all other matters, but you must listen to me on this matter of marriage! Yuming is not only the second prince of the Qianlong Empire, he is noble, wise and martial, but he is also a disciple of the Wanyang Holy Land.
, possessing strong cultivation, countless girls are vying to marry him, and he can fall in love with you, do you know what a blessing it is!"
"Since dad thinks so highly of him, then you should marry her." Ling Yun raised her eyebrows and retorted dissatisfied.
"Shut up!" Ling Xiao was angry and had a very tough attitude: "It's all your fault that dad spoils you so much. How can you let you play with your temper when it comes to marriage? This time, no matter whether you agree or not, dad has full authority to make the decision!"
"Dad, I don't like that Duan Yuming at all!" Ling Yun showed no sign of weakness and said angrily: "I...I already have someone I like!"
"who is it?"
"His...his name is Qianyu!" Ling Yun subconsciously said this name, and even she herself didn't know why.
"Qianyu?" Ling Xiao frowned, and after realizing it, he asked, "Is this the kid with the "death acupoint" you just mentioned?"
"That's right!" Ling Yun used Qianyu as a shield to get angry.
"Impossible! I never agree!" Ling Xiao objected sternly.
"Dad, no matter what you say, I only know that I am the one getting married, not you! You should respect my choice!" After saying that, Ling Yun left angrily, and Ling Xiao cursed: "Smelly girl,
Come back here, it’s getting more and more outrageous!"
Just as he was planning to continue arguing with Ling Yun, a servant suddenly came to deliver a message: Duan Yuming has arrived!
"I know, I'll be there soon." After calming down the anger in his heart and trying to keep a smile, Ling Xiao hurried towards the door. Before he could go out, he saw more than a dozen soldiers in golden armor and a car at the door.
The chariot is carved from white jade and is pulled by four snow-white lions as tall as one person. It looks very majestic.
The young man in the chariot is about sixteen years old, with a cold and handsome face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. There is a noble air between his eyebrows. There is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but there is aloofness in his eyes. Although he is looking at the people around him,
But he didn't take them seriously.
Wearing a white jade crown and a white dragon robe, he has a long body and a jade-like body. He is born with the appearance of a dragon, and his precious aura flows and his domineering energy leaks out. Although he is still young, his whole person is like a sharp sword, with sharp edges that no one dares to underestimate.
He is half a cent. There is a snow-white long sword on his waist. The scabbard is white and the hilt is white, which blends in with his white clothes.
"Yu Ming!" Ling Xiao greeted him with a smile. When Duan Yuming saw Ling Xiao coming forward, the arrogance in Duan Yuming's eyes immediately disappeared, replaced with a soft smile, and said softly: "I have met Uncle Ling. I heard that today is my uncle's birthday, so I
I specially prepared a small gift for my uncle."
"Bring it up." Duan Yuming waved his hand, and a soldier held a square box made of gold in both hands. The box was only the size of a fist.
Ling Xiao took the box with some excitement, opened it and saw a silver pill inside.
"Uncle Ling, this is the Wan Yu Dan. It took two months to refine it by the only fourth-grade spirit gathering master in the empire. It has the effect of detoxifying hundreds of poisons and curing all diseases. It also has the effect of improving cultivation.
Is uncle still satisfied?"
"Satisfied! I'm so satisfied!" Ling Xiao was so excited that he didn't know what to say. The guests around him all looked envious, and some even showed covetous expressions, but they didn't dare to take action.
None of the soldiers behind Duan Yuming were fuel-efficient lamps.
"Yu Ming, please come in quickly and sit down in the mansion." After accepting the Huanyang Pill, Ling Xiao was filled with joy and quickly greeted Duan Yuming to enter the mansion.
"Uncle, why don't you see Yun'er?" Duan Yuming asked.
"Yu Ming, this... let's talk in another place." Ling Xiao felt guilty and invited Duan Yuming to a pavilion. There were colorful flowers around the pavilion. The breeze blew and the fragrance of the flowers wafted in the pavilion, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Uncle, is Yun'er unwilling to marry me?" Duan Yuming asked calmly.
Ling Xiao nodded and sighed: "Yu Ming, Yun'er's mother passed away early. In order to let her grow up happily, I let her do everything. Over time, no matter what she does, she will do it according to her own temperament."
, she didn’t listen to what I said at all. She even had a quarrel with me over this matter.”
"Haha, this is what attracts me to her." Duan Yuming smiled softly and said, "There is no rush in this matter, the relationship can be cultivated slowly."
"Yu Ming, it's great that you think so." Ling Xiao looked at Duan Yuming with relief, then changed the subject and said, "Yu Ming, there is something I want to ask you for help with."
"Uncle, please tell me."
"Yun'er said she already has someone she likes..."
"Who is it?" Duan Yuming's face became solemn.
Ling Xiao explained: "His name is Qianyu and he comes from Qingyan City. I hope you can go to Qingyan City to shock him and make him give up. However, this kid has helped Yun'er and is kind to her."
, don’t be too harsh when you strike.”
"Qianyu..." Repeated in a low voice, Duan Yuming's eyes became sharp and said: "Uncle, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will handle it properly."
At the banquet, Duan Yuming deliberately struck up a conversation with Ling Yun, but was treated coldly by Ling Yun. However, he was not discouraged and found Ling Yun very charming.
Ling Yun showed Duan Yuming's expression at the banquet, which made Ling Xiao very angry and ordered Ling Yun to be grounded for a month and not allowed to go out.
Two days later.
In a gorgeously decorated palace, Duan Yuming stood with his hands behind his hands, looking proudly into the distance. Suddenly, a haggard old man appeared behind him.
Duan Yuming didn't look back and asked: "Have you found out?"
The old man nodded and said: "Qianyu is the adopted son of Qianye, the head of the Qian family in Qingyan City. He has a "death acupoint". He was expelled from the family for killing his clan members two years ago and survived in the abyss of death for two years.
Recently, I don’t know what happened, but he broke through the "death key" and returned to the Qianjia. Two days later, the Qianjia will hold an adult ceremony, and the younger generation of the clan will participate."
"What an interesting guy." Duan Yuming smiled brightly and said: "Since he is going to participate in the adult ceremony, I will prepare a generous gift for him..." (To be continued)
