319: Please ask the dancers from Tianxiang Tower to dance for the general! (ask for monthly tickets)

Just as that group of soldiers left Tianxiang Pavilion, in a room on the twenty-eighth floor, a window facing the corridor was open.

A woman in a black dress leaned against the window, her enchanting face slightly raised, looking at the opposite building upstairs, a hint of a smile that wasn't quite a smile flickering in her eyes.

Upstairs, on the opposite side, a group of musicians and dancers, moving with light lotus steps, quickly descended the stairs along the corner of the corridor.

Only one Golden Gauze Dancer among them broke away from the group and went up to the thirty-first floor, which was not open to the public.

There, in the corridor and at the stairwell, there were Hu people guards.

The Golden Gauze Dancer then stopped in front of a room diagonally opposite, looked around, opened the door, and went inside, then closed the door.

Seeing the Golden Gauze Dancer disappear, the black-clad woman's light purple pupils flickered with light.

Then, her hand, which appeared exceptionally fair beneath her black gauze dress, rose, and her cherry-like mouth gently blew a puff of white Qi towards her wrist.

The next second, the white Qi condensed, appearing as a white butterfly slightly larger than a fingernail.

Its wings fluttered, landing on her fair, delicate wrist.

The black-clad woman flicked her wrist, and the white butterfly danced gracefully, flying out the window.

It quickly flew to the thirty-first floor, avoiding the sight of the Hu people guards as it fluttered, arriving at the door of the room where the Golden Gauze Dancer had just disappeared.

Then, as if encountering nothing, it passed right through.

As the white butterfly vanished, the black-clad woman's light purple pupils began to shimmer, and a scene gradually appeared in her eyes.

In the scene, it seemed to be a storeroom, filled with various sundries, Hu people musical instruments, and costumes, and in her line of sight, the dancer who had just disappeared was walking into an open white wall.

Just as the wall was about to close, the white butterfly fluttered its wings and silently slipped into the rapidly closing gap.

The scene continued to follow the dancer; behind the wall was a hidden chamber, a place of mechanisms, connecting to moving rooms, like entering a dreamscape, upside down, moving rapidly left and right.

The dancer turned left and right within it, seemingly following a specific order through each room, and the wooden doors of the rooms continuously opened and closed as the dancer approached.

The butterfly was silent and followed behind, but suddenly, its tiny body abruptly stopped, as if it had hit an invisible wall of air.

At this moment, the Western Regions Dancer walking in front seemed to sense something; she stopped in her tracks, then suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes scanning behind her, only to find nothing.

“Strange!”

The dancer, enveloped in golden gauze, furrowed her delicate brows, feeling somewhat strange; she had clearly heard some movement.

However, she thought of the words she had just heard in the Tianzi Binghao room, her heart tightened, and she had no time to dwell on it, quickly disappearing into the next room.

On the other side, the scene in the black-clad woman's pupils disappeared, and the light purple glow flickered brightly.

There was a Restriction in that place, blocking her prying eyes!

To avoid attracting attention, she voluntarily withdrew her means.

But clearly, the place connected by the mechanisms behind that wall must hide something suspicious.

Closing the window, the black-clad woman turned around, a charming smile appearing at the corners of her lips.

At this moment, an impatient voice sounded in the room, “Are you really sure this dancer is the maid who was by the Lou Lan Princess’s side, the one from the kingdom that was destroyed six years ago?”

Looking in the direction of the voice, one could see the sturdy Hunter, nine feet tall, with light golden eyebrows and hair, whom the woman called “Golden Lion,” his gaze solemn.

“Naturally, for the sake of the Holy Sect, I had seen that Princess many times, and she had such a maid by her side!” The black-clad woman’s light purple pupils flickered with a bewitching light, then her tone was meaningful, a smile on her lips, “It’s been six years, and someone who should have died appeared here; I never expected it.

It seems some people in the Holy Sect were soft-hearted back then and let them live.”

Upon hearing this, the golden-haired Hunter straightened his body, his eyes narrowed sharply, a pressing fervor flickering in them, “Does that not mean that the Lou Lan Princess might still be alive?”

The black-clad woman raised her delicate eyebrows, noncommittal, “Who knows? We’ll know if we investigate!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the young Hunter, like a Golden Lion, showed impatience and restlessness in his eyes, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go now.”

Saying this, he walked towards the room door.

The black-clad woman swayed, blocking the doorway, and frowned, “What’s the rush? If we’re going, it’s at night.

There are still so many people now; be careful not to cause a stir, especially since the new Town Demon Envoy of the Central Court is about to arrive here.

This is not the Western Regions.”

Saying this, her light purple eyes surveyed him, her beautiful eyes shifting, and she chuckled, laughing so that her exquisite bosom swayed, “Golden Lion, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you want to capture the Lou Lan Princess alive and offer her to Saintess Your Highness to win her favor?

I advise you not to waste your energy; put away your insignificant thoughts.

Even the Crown Prince of Northern Liang wants to get close to her; you have even less of a chance.

Our lofty Saintess would not look upon you favorably.”

Upon hearing this, Golden Lion’s previously impatient face first turned pale, then flushed, before he became enraged, “Nonsense!

Saintess Your Highness is a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, noble and pure.

And what about the Crown Prince of Northern Liang? He’s nothing.

It’s you, You Lian, as a member of the Holy Sect, repeatedly disrespecting the Saintess.

What are you trying to do?”

Golden Lion stared with his lion-like eyes, appearing aggressive, but in reality, he was feigning bravery while feeling somewhat guilty.

“Heh heh, what can I do? If it weren’t for this Lou Lan Princess ‘dying’ back then, the Saintess wouldn’t have been her turn.

Now that the Lou Lan Princess might not be dead and has been discovered by you and me, it’s a great Merits, and I don’t want to give it away for nothing!” The black-clad woman, named You Lian, said this and then smiled charmingly, “If you really want to use this matter to get close to the Saintess, you’d best listen to me, after all, women understand women best.

Like before, you poured out your heart and soul; what did you get? Did that Saintess ever give you a proper look?”

Golden Lion fell silent upon hearing this.

And from the simple conversation between these two people from the Western Regions, keywords like Holy Sect, Saintess, and Lou Lan Princess kept appearing, seemingly hiding a past event from six years ago.

The identities of the two came from a sect in the Western Regions!

And just as these two were plotting to visit Tianxiang Pavilion secretly at night, the scene shifted.

In a secret room on the top floor of Tianxiang Pavilion, Miyi hurried in to report the news she had heard to An Ge.

As soon as she entered, her face showed some urgency.

“Young Miss, This General might be in danger!”

The “This General” Miyi referred to was Chen Yuan.

As An Ge’s closest maid, An Ge’s pregnancy could not be hidden from Miyi, who had been by her side for over a decade.

After An Ge, who had suddenly disappeared for a period, returned from Jinguancheng, the frantic Miyi cried heartbrokenly, asking where Young Miss had gone.

An Ge made an excuse, but this maid saw through it and stated her guess, because An Ge’s sudden disappearance was after Miyi reported to her that the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General had died on the Demon Battlefield.

At that time, An Ge’s emotions were somewhat out of control, and Miyi felt strange and returned worriedly, only to find An Ge gone.

So, with this guess, An Ge told her everything.

Miyi was shocked at the time!

The Princess and that fierce Ninth Zhonglang actually had something!

However, she was also happy.

Because there was a new life in the Princess’s belly, she was also very much looking forward to it.

Thus, out of love for the house and its occupant, her fear of Chen Yuan also turned into concern for her own family.

Inside the room, An Ge, seated on a chair, heard the news, her hand gripping her sleeve tightened, she tried to stand up, but then slowly sat back down, trying to remain calm.

“What did those soldiers say?”

Her water-blue eyes became restless, ripples appearing.

“That young This General wearing red armor said that the new Town Demon Envoy dispatched by the Central Court sent a message, specifically ordering This General to personally come to Tianxiong Pass to greet him.

Listening to the tone, it wasn’t very good.”

“Also, Tianxiong Pass’s Zhonglang General Wei, who has ties to This General, is now sidelined within the Sky Patrol Division and has lost his authority, all because of This General.”

“That Colonel Xu Xiangdong, because of this, invited this group of soldiers to a feast, just wanting to defect to the other side!”

Miyi simply summarized the news she had obtained.

This sent out a very ominous signal: those connected to Chen Yuan were being suppressed, so who knew what would happen once the new Town Demon Envoy arrived at Tianxiong Pass.

An Ge knew that her man was a very proud and domineering person, who would never tolerate humiliation, and things might spiral out of control.

She even maliciously speculated that this might be intentional on their part!

They wanted to see Chen Yuan make a mistake, they wanted to provoke Chen Yuan!

This feeling was too familiar.

As she thought this, her heart couldn’t help but clench, wondering what she could do for Chen Yuan.

“Young Miss, what should we do?” Miyi asked An Ge for her opinion.

“Send a message!” An Ge’s water-blue eyes were filled with determination, “Tell This General not to come to Tianxiong Pass.

Whether he rebels in the future or defects from Fusi, I will accompany him.

I cannot stand by and watch him fall into this trap!”

Miyi was somewhat moved by Young Miss’s words, but quickly thought of something, and her face turned a little grim, “But Young Miss, from what I heard, the order from that Vanguard Army was already issued two days ago.

This General might have already received the message and is on his way, so the message is very likely to be missed.”

An Ge, however, showed no unusual expression, merely her beautiful eyes flickered, and she called out a name.

“Heavenly Dog!”

As these words fell, a strange, eerie laughter echoed in the room.

“Jie jie”

Miyi jumped in surprise, “Young Miss...”

Before she could finish, she saw that the exquisite wool carpet three feet in front of An Ge’s chair seemed to be stained with a blob of ink.

As this blob of ink spread, a pair of crimson-green eyes appeared, and a terrifying pressure swept out, causing a strong wind to gust in the room.

Then, a large black dog, treading on black wind, surged in size against the wind until it reached the ceiling, its rolling Devilish Qi revealed without a doubt.

“Young Miss, this dog...” Miyi’s voice was somewhat fearful; this was clearly a powerful Demon, even stronger than Young Miss.

The black slender dog, however, spoke in human tongue, its green eyes looking at Miyi, laughing eerily, its large dog head lowered, revealing sharp teeth, “Please call me Lord Heavenly Dog!”

Miyi’s heart skipped a beat from fright.

At this moment, An Ge spoke, reassuring the startled Miyi, “Don’t be afraid; this Heavenly Dog was arranged by him to protect us, mother and son.”

The “him” was self-evident!

Then, An Ge raised her head, meeting the pair of crimson-green eyes, and spoke slowly and firmly, “Go send a message to your master.

You are his Contracted Demon, and you will sense him within a certain distance.

Tell him what happened here, and tell This General not to come to Tianxiong Pass and put himself in danger!”

Who knew, the Heavenly Dog immediately shook its large dog head: “No, no, that guy personally ordered me to stay by your side at all times.

If something happens to you, my ancestor, I don’t know how miserably I’d die.”

This Heavenly Dog was a Dao Fruit Realm Demon, arranged by Chen Yuan when he sent An Ge out of the city half a month ago.

At that time, this Heavenly Dog was as respectful as could be in front of Chen Yuan, but now that Chen Yuan wasn’t present, it became “that guy,” clearly an old rogue.

But it still didn’t dare to disobey Chen Yuan’s orders.

“I’m fine here; you go ahead.

I imagine he won’t blame you either,” An Ge said softly.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dog stubbornly refused, “I won’t go; you can kill me, but I won’t go.”

Saying this, its massive form transformed into a demonic mist with a bang, returning the way it came, about to disappear into the floor.

Seeing that it was unyielding, An Ge made no move, merely pinched her fingers, and a suppressed cry of pain came from the Devilish Qi that had seeped into the floor, followed by the Heavenly Dog’s strange cry,

“I’ll go, I’ll go, alright!”

Saying this, the Heavenly Dog reappeared, then transformed into a black wind, directly entering the roof and disappearing.

Seeing it leave, An Ge’s clenched heart finally relaxed a little.

Dusk faded to the west, and night quietly descended, gradually engulfing the entire Tianxiong Pass!

Inside the Inner City, at the Sky Patrol Division’s station.

Inside Zhonglang Hall, candlelight flickered, making the hall appear desolate and cold.

A figure sat at the head, their face dark and uncertain in the flickering candlelight.

At this moment, footsteps approached and entered the hall.

“This General, Colonel Xu has arrived!”

“Let him in!”

As the muffled voice fell, outside, Xu Xiangdong, dressed in a red flying fish robe, entered Zhonglang Hall.

“Your subordinate greets This General!”

“May I ask why This General has sent for me?”

After Xu Xiangdong entered the hall, he bowed with clasped hands, his voice somewhat weak, his lowered head showing some fear.

“What did you do this afternoon?” From the head, the muffled voice continued to sound.

“This afternoon... your subordinate...” Xu Xiangdong stammered, his This General knew about the Tianxiang Pavilion matter.

At this moment, angry voices sounded from both sides of the hall.

“Xu Xiangdong, you’re colluding with those people, what do you mean by that?”

“Are you worthy of General Wei’s cultivation?”

“After so many years as comrades, you brazenly hosted a banquet at Tianxiang Pavilion.

This is a slap in This General’s face, do you know that?”

“You dog!”

One could see that on both sides of the hall stood armored soldiers in green, all wearing the armor of the Local Sky Patrol Division.

These people were all Colonels of Tianxiong Pass.

Seated above them was Wei Zhong, the Local General of the Guard.

The Colonels were very angry at Xu Xiangdong’s behavior.

After the Vanguard Army came in, they found excuses to suppress them, making them endure a belly full of grievances, and now there was a traitor in their own ranks.

And he openly hosted a banquet!

Someone, unable to bear it, wanted to step forward and teach the other party a lesson.

“Stop!”

Wei Zhong, from the head, spoke, his large eyes looking at Xu Xiangdong, “Xiangdong, I don’t want to pursue anything.

I just want to ask you, what did you do today?”

Xu Xiangdong knelt on the ground with a thud, bowing his head, his voice tinged with apology, “I’m sorry, This General!”

“You!”

Everyone instantly understood his meaning, glaring at him, and figures rushed forward.

Just then,

“Who dares!”

As the words fell, a figure in red armor appeared.

It was Hu Jinquan, the young Deputy This General seen that afternoon.

He walked in, saw Xu Xiangdong kneeling, and the angry Colonels, and smiled coldly,

“Colonel Xu has been favored by This General Gongyang.”

“This General Gongyang is currently entertaining guests.”

“Xu Xiangdong, get up now.

The dancers at Tianxiang Pavilion are good; go invite those people from today to dance for This General and the guests!”
