Chapter 828: Fairy Sacred Fruit

When they returned to the luxurious airship marked with the Raging Flame symbol, Yan Zao was already waiting respectfully below.

He reported to Yue Yang in secret.

Yue Yang pondered for a moment before sending Yan Zao away to investigate the information again.

Yue Yang completely ignored the many Heaven Rank powerhouses who were eager to please them. He even turned away the steward sent by the Redemption City Lord, whose intentions were to use the Pearl as a chance to be granted an audience. Was it that easy to be granted a meeting with the superior High Rankers? The steward was not surprised when he was rejected. Even as he knelt down and begged to be granted an audience, he wasn’t able to meet the ‘Master’, the beautiful Luo Hua. He also begged and hoped that Yue Yang would accept the priceless pearl.

As long as they were willing to accept gifts, it would mean that there was still hope.

Yue Yang, as the Captain of the personal guard, had no choice but to deal with him. Otherwise, he wasn’t sure how long the steward was planning to kneel here.

“We don’t want too many people to know our whereabouts. After we spectate the execution of the King on the Divine Punishment Platform, we will leave. With that being said, we hope that the Lord of the Redemption City will pay attention to control the number of people who will approach us. It’s best if you all pretend not to know of our existence here. Although it was just the Mistress’s spontaneity that made her come here on a whim, for her noble and honorable identity to show up in the lower realm would make her seem like she is a bad influence… Today, the Mistress is in a bad mood and she does not want to see any guests. If things get better, this captain will try to change her impression of the Redemption City Lord. As for whether or not the Mistress is willing to meet him, the decision does not lie with me. So let’s just see how things go!” Captain Yue Yang’s position as the Captain of the Guard was well-deserved. With just a few words, he was able to render the steward dumbfounded.

“The City Lord Qian Hu will definitely follow the Mistress’s orders and ensure that no one will disturb her rest.” The steward respectfully saluted towards the sky, showing his sign of worship.

Subsequently, a Top Grade Dragon Blood Stone was secretly placed into the palm of Yue Yang’s hand.

The steward repeatedly apologized.

He claimed that he did not intend to offend them. Instead, he only asked Yue Yang for help to reveal the slightest information about them. This was required for him to be able to give an explanation to the Redemption City Lord.

His attitude was very satisfying. The only missing sign of determination was that he hadn’t committed suicide in front of Yue Yang to show his will. Yue Yang secretly labelled him as a good fox [1] and couldn’t help but portray a troubled expression. Finally, under the other party’s repetitive pleading, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to reveal some information about them. He dangled his fingers and the steward hurriedly stretched out his palm to make contact. Yue Yang however, did not care for the steward’s outstretched hand as he slowly drew an incomparably mysterious rune pattern in the air.

TL note: [1] means someone is being very obedient, willing to do another’s bidding.

Words were whispered through a secret language into the ears of the steward: “Let’s put it this way. Not long ago, Du Gu Chang Feng of the Four Major Houses met her by chance and addressed the Mistress as the princess. He gifted her the Demonic Mirror upon greeting her, initially wanting to accompany the Mistress on her journey to make sure she was unharmed and safe. But the Demonic Mirror wasn’t very auspicious, so the Mistress gave it to me. This led to Young Master Chang Feng being ashamed of this and no longer dared to accompany her anymore.”

Student Yue Yang released the Mirror of Pain that was sealed in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Their surroundings lit up.

If the steward had the slightest trace of doubt before, it was now all gone. By listening to Yue Yang’s explanation, his soul was scared out of his body [2]. Sweating profusely, both of his hands started to tremble uncontrollably.

TL note: [2] a metaphor to say someone was really terrified. It sounds nicer in Chinese, I swear.

No one would be surprised if one didn’t know about some random emperor of the Heaven Realm. After all, the Heaven Realm was too big, and there were certainly many other experts and High Rankers that were not widely known. However, it would be ridiculous to say that a Heaven Ranker did not know of the Four Major Houses.

Even the most honourable Central Palace must show a bit of respect towards the Four Major Houses, let alone an average Heaven Ranker.

The steward was familiar with the names of all the elites in the Heaven Realm, hence it was natural that he knew the Young Master Chang Feng from the Du Gu family. The Redemption City Lord had repeatedly bribed the expatriate disciple from the Gu Du family with a lot of money just to be well acquainted with the unruly and secretive Young Master Chang Feng through a third party. The steward had a certain understanding of Young Master Chang Feng’s temperament, appearance, and unique skills. As for the Mirror of Pain, he had never seen it before but had heard of it many times. Now that he had suddenly seen it appear in Yue Yang’s hands, why wouldn’t he be surprised? That was the most beloved treasure of Young Master Chang Feng. If he was not willing to give it, who could have taken it away from his grasp? How high ranking does the status of a person have to be in order to make him give away his beloved treasure to someone that didn’t even like it?

For the time being, let’s not mention the Four Great Families, Young Master Chang Feng or the unimaginably high status of said Mistress. Even though Yue Yang was a Captain of the Guard who was only at Level 3 of the Heaven Rank, he was not an unfathomable figure.

And yet, the measly Captain of the Guard actually possessed an infinitely powerful Sealing Treasure.

It could even be used so easily.

He wasn’t all that excited to see the offerings of gems and pearls. But if it wasn’t considered ‘common’ to him, how could his expression have been as plain as water?

Lastly, his strength. With the power of the Level 3 Heaven Rank on the surface, he was completely fearless of the Yu Mu execution Elder, who had reached the peak of the Level 5 Heaven Rank. Even with the knowledge that the opponent was from the Central Palace, he didn’t hesitate to ridicule him and even relentlessly counterattacked, almost making the elder capsize in the gutter [3]… With such outstanding abilities and arrogance, if he didn’t have his strength and a large influential backing behind him, it would have been impossible for him to provoke the elder! Even a fool would not attempt to challenge a Central Palace’s elder as it would definitely turn out to be a catastrophe. Yet, not only did this young man indeed provoke the elder, his attitude was also extremely arrogant!

TL note: [3] an allegorical saying that ‘something went wrong in a certain place’.

Based on the various guesses from the information he got, there was only one possibility— this ‘Master’ is indeed the legendary… The steward dared not think about it anymore as he feared that he would faint!

Before he knew it, his fear had caused a pool of sweat to heavily drench his clothes, and his entire being looked like he had been submerged in water.

Upon seeing Yue Yang’s forced smile, he was terrified. He hurriedly crawled onto the ground ,bowing to the luxurious airship in the sky with the most pious heart. He also apologised to Yue Yang, repeatedly clarifying that he did not intend to pry into the Mistress’s personal matters, but just like the City Lord Qian Hu, he respected them with a heart of admiration and longed for their pity… “Just go back. When there is good news, I will send Yan Zao to inform you.” Yue Yang finally sent the man away. He predicted that if he tried to scare him once more, this man might just commit suicide.

“Yes. Along with City Lord Qian Hu, this humble servant will await your jade calling[4] at any time.”

TL note: [4] since jade symbolises prosperity, success, sometimes even immortality and longevity, the term ‘jade calling’ is kind of translated to ‘the command/ order from someone highly ranked and respected’.

Seeing that Yue Yang’s attitude had improved for the better, the steward couldn’t help but be enthused as he quickly bowed and said goodbye.

He knew that he was not yet qualified to have a good friendship with the Mistress’s Guard Captain, hence being on equal terms with the errand runner “Yan Zao” was already the greatest success for him. During this trip, he had inquired about some secret information that was revealed by the other party, so he could guarantee that City Lord Qianhu would be super satisfied with his performance. As for how to get the noble Mistress to be willing to meet them, it was no longer his problem; let the City Lord Qian Hu fret about it himself!

Yue Yang returned to the luxury airship. He turned towards the side corridor and walked into the main hall.

He found that the sexy and enchanting beauty Bi Lu was waving at him with a smile on her face. Even if he had attained the Supreme Will, he couldn’t help but tremble.

The beauty Luo Hua was nowhere to be seen. She was a clean freak by nature so after shopping for a long time, she probably went to take a bath. Lie Yan had also just finished preparing the controls for the Heaven Realm Drakaina[5] Aircraft to take off as she walked in from the other side. Yue Yang pretended not to see Bi Lu and took out the Top Grade Dragon Blood Stone, purifying it with the fire of Nirvana, before he threw it to the Head of the Flames: “Next time, let Wuhen attach the Heavenly Rune onto you. It doesn’t matter whether it is embedded in your weapon or on your armor, it has a pretty good support effect.”

TL note: [5] Drakaina is a female dragon. (Couldn’t find the ship’s name for hours I swear, so I just came up with the closest translation)

Lie Yan nodded.

She had become accustomed to Yue Yang’s gifts and offerings so she no longer resisted like before.

Especially after the spiritual fusion in the energy field, she had learned a lot about Yue Yang. Her thoughts had gradually assimilated with his, hence she no longer insisted on her chivalrous personality like before.

“It’s so beautiful, give me one too!” Bi Lu snatched it from Lie Yan’s hands and observed it for a long time, as if she couldn’t bear to put it down. Lie Yan originally wanted to give it to her, but Bi Lu smiled and declined, returning the purified Dragon Stone. The Blood Stone was returned to Lieyan, but she sat beside Yue Yang, spreading out her small white and slender palm, pleading with him for it.

“There is none left. Did you think there was a basket of those; that guy just handed me one!” Yue Yang initially ignored her, but he really couldn’t stand to see her hand dangling in front of him, let alone the innocent fragrance of her charming gestures.

This girl was already very sexy and charming from the start. From what Yue Yang saw, this girl was the sexiest besides the Phoenix Beauty and Humanoid Beast Jiang Ying.

After revealing her true colours, he felt that a special and fascinating magic power was radiating from her body.

Yue Yang took out the priceless pearl.

He didn’t let it go, but deliberately tossed it in the palm of her hand to portray his unwillingness.

No matter what Yue Yang expressed, as the pearl fell into her hands, Bi Lu smiled widely: “Wasn’t this pearl for sister Luo Hua? Are you sure it’s okay for me to have it? You’d have to be careful of sister Luo Hua pinching your ears. It’s better that I don’t take it., I’ll give it back to you!” Although she returned it to him, it was probably just a figure of speech. But Yue Yang estimated that even if he tried snatching it back from her, he wouldn’t be able to get it back.

Yue Yang sweated profusely in secret when she called Luo Hua as her sister. Since when were they so affectionate?

They started to call each other sisters!

The girl Bi Lu sat too close to him. Besides her enchanting fragrance, she also laughed brightly, which made student Yue Yang who possessed the Supreme Will sway a little. He quickly got up and ran to find the beauty of Luo Hua to take a mixed-gender bath together to cool down his burning heart.

Unexpectedly, Luo Hua had come out wearing a bath towel, andrejected student Yue Yang’s proposal to go back and take a bath together.

After Yue Yang took a cold bath, he found that the three women were talking about the current situation, seemingly serious.

“Are you sure it’s an ancient rune?” Beauty Luo Hua asked.

“I’m ninety percent confident, but I don’t know what the characteristics of this Ancient Rune is. According to a secret information source, for the Ancient Rune to exist, at least the life and blood of ten thousand Heaven Rankers must be sacrificed because of the seal. Moreover, you would need a hundred Emperor ranked Heaven Rankers. The execution of King Tai Lun is just an excuse; the purpose was to attract the attention of Heaven Rankers. Of course, there would be some of the king’s friends who would come to attempt mediation or rescues. In short, the Scarlet Warden of the Central Palace, Tantai Tu Mie will not stop at all costs in order to obtain this Ancient Rune.” Bi Lu also put away the charming manner she had previously joked around with Yue Yang as she explained with a serious expression.

“Is the information source of yours reliable?” As Yue Yang had gone to take a bath just now, he didn’t listen carefully so he hurriedly asked.

“This top-secret information was discovered through a secret channel by the wife of King Tai Lun. The source of the news came from the Central Palace. It should be that someone in the Central Palace was worried that the Tantai Tu Mie would obtain the Ancient Rune, greatly improving his strength, and hence becoming a threat to them. Therefore, the information was passed to King Tai Lun’s wife through a secret channel. A line was also drawn to allow King Tai Lun’s wife to contact certain forces in the Four Major Houses with the purpose of sabotaging this ritual sacrifice. This time, not only was it a disaster in the Tai Lun Continent, but it was also an internal battle in the Central Palace. But as for us, it’s just a gathering!” Bilu solemnly nodded to Yue Yang, indicating that the news was absolutely reliable.

“If this was the case, it would be way too shocking!” Lie Yan couldn’t imagine what would happen in the end if the sacrificial ritual became successful.

“Instead of coming early, it’s better to come by coincidence.” Yue Yang smiled: “Let’s sit on the sidelines and watch them fight. If the internal fight of the Central Palace will hurt both sides, then we can profit from being the fisherman.”

“Hardly!” Bi Lu shook her head and said, “Although you have made rapid progress, you are still far from the level of Tantai Tu Mie.”

“If this big bad guy hadn’t broken through the Innate Supreme, then I would have not been optimistic; but as for now… I’m still supporting my bad guy!” City Mistress Luo Hua stood up and sat in Yue Yang’s arms in front of the two women, unscrupulously hugging his head and neck with a slenderly fair arm as she kissed his cheek affectionately: “Student Yue Yang, this city lord supports you so much, don’t disappoint me!”

“My Mistress City Lord, please rest assured, your subordinate will do his best to not bring you shame!” Yue Yang was amused by the actions of City Mistress Luo Hua and could no longer help it. He immediately picked up the beauty before rushing into the bedroom.

Bi Lu was surprised at the attitude of City Mistress Luo Hua. So what even if he had obtained the enlightenment of the Innate Supreme?

The opponent is going to be Tantai Tu Mie!

But immediately, she realized again. This is what a wife should do; trust her husband without reservation and support him wholeheartedly!

After she figured it out, she turned her head to look at the Head of the Flames, asking with a smile: “Do you also believe that he will succeed?”

Head of the Flames frowned: “Tantai Tu Mie is indeed very powerful, but Yue Yang is someone who could achieve anything. He had already created many impossible miracles! Besides, he does not necessarily have to fight hard. Maybe, the Ancient Rune would identify Yue Yang as its master and not Tantai Tu Mie! You don’t know much about him— I have practiced in the Tong Tian Tower with him for a long time and I have never seen anything stump him, especially with the support of so many people… you don’t know how amazing that person is… In short, he will succeed. Maybe not in a day, but I believe in him; he will succeed in the end!”

Bi Lu was slightly stunned as she didn’t expect the Head of the Flames to give her an answer like this.

Finally, she laughed.

She understood Lie Yan’s answer was meant to comfort her.

But Bi Lu didn’t need Lie Yan’s comfort. In fact, even though she said so, she still supported the kid in her heart. Otherwise, how could she have told him such a shocking secret! Or, even if she had told him, Bi Lu would have persuaded him to leave instead of letting him come to Tai Lun Continent!

In fact, the person who believed and hoped for his success the most was herself!

Although the door of the bedroom was soundproofed well, with the sensitive hearing of Bi Lu and Lie Yan, they could hear the sounds that were similar to fighting exclamations.

The expressions of the two changed at the same time.

Bilu was shy. Her face flushed and her legs close together subconsciously, fingers trembling as she pretended to be holding a glass of water. Lie Yan felt even more awkward. She had actually heard of it many times, and she had long been familiar with Yue Yang’s skills in the bedroom. But this was not the Heaven Stairway, and Bi Lu was not Sickly Beauty, so she felt a tiny bit awkward… “Does he and Sister Luo Hua often do this?” Bi Lu didn’t know that she actually had her own responsibility. If she hadn’t deliberately teased her and unintentionally showed her attractive posture, student Yue Yang wouldn’t have been aroused that easily.

“Get used to it.” The Leader of the Flames didn’t want to talk about this topic with Bi Lu anymore. She stood up and prepared to return to her room to rest.

“Do you sometimes have some ideas of your own?” Bi Lu asked, breaking the question as she was eager to know the full truth.

“I’m a giantess!” Lie Yan turned around and quickly denied: “Stop guessing, I’m not involved in his aesthetics at all. I have absolutely nothing to do with him!”

“Well, I believe it is likely as such…” When the Leader of the Flames was about to enter the room, Bi Lu suddenly put down her cup and said to the flames in a secret language: “Have you ever heard of something called ‘Fairy Sacred Fruit’. Even an ordinary-looking woman will turn into a big beauty… and even have the ability to deform the body at will. Maybe you can try it.”

“Thank you, but I won’t pursue something that exists in the ethereal legends. It’s fine how we are now as I don’t have too many ideas. My relationship with him is really just being a buddy of sorts, but it’s definitely not what you think.” Lie Yan shook her head, grabbing the doorknob in her hand as she prepared to close the door.

“But what if I said I have one?” Bi Lu’s words made Lie Yan freeze.
