Chapter 96: A distinguished guest from Central City

Pei Xiaoxing kept pondering the word "guest" in his mouth, but couldn't figure out who it was.

Lai Jie noticed his annoyance and nodded in understanding. "It's really strange. Zhangwei hasn't had any visitors in years! We almost forgot the reception procedures and have been holding them at the door for a while."

For some reason, Pei Xiaoxing had a hunch that this was not a good thing.

Ling Rui gritted his teeth and looked even more unhappy than him.

"What’s wrong with you?"

The two had just had an unpleasant experience, but they were both sensible people and let it go.

Pei Xiaoxing could still calmly ask Ling Rui at this moment: "Do you know who it is?"

"Who else could have come here at this exact moment, besides Zhu Jiuyin?"

Whenever Ling Rui recalled Zhu Jiuyin's crimson figure, only four words remained in his mind:

The ghost lingers.

But you can't hit or scold him. As long as he is unhappy, the whole chapter will suffer.

How can there be such an unreasonable person!

"It's almost time." Lai Jie still had a lot of things to do. Before leaving, she suddenly curled her lips and added, "Oh, it's a distinguished guest from Central City."

The expressions of the several male beasts who were originally smiling and seeing Lai Jie off suddenly froze and their faces changed completely.

The three words "Central City" were like a needle piercing their throats, leaving them all speechless.

The distant and prosperous capital represents all that is good in the eyes of Lai Jie, who has lived in Zhangwei for a long time.

She naturally treated this person as a distinguished guest, and even came to Sheng Ran's house with a smile on her face to convey the good news.

Little did they know that this was actually bad news.

Sheng Ran has been exiled to Zhangwei for such a long time, and no one over there has ever come to see her. What good could come of her coming uninvited at this critical moment?

Ling Rui glanced nervously at his wife who was sleeping in the room, his eyes red.

We clearly took care of all those assassins last night, so they shouldn't be chasing us so quickly.

There were even people from the central city who came to the door openly.

"What exactly do they want to do?"

Huai Jun still had a glimmer of hope: "Maybe he didn't come for my wife, but one of your relatives or friends came to visit?"

Among the four beastly husbands on the field, Ling Rui's family had the most harmonious relationship, and the rest of the people looked at him in unison.

"Cat tribes these days are struggling to make ends meet. How can they afford to come all the way to Zhangwei to see me?"

Everyone's heart sank, and they had an even worse premonition.

Pei Xiaoxing reluctantly said, "Relax first. Even if it is at the end of the chapter, it is still within the jurisdiction of the Beast World Continent."

"Whoever comes here, I don't think they'd be stupid enough to start a fight here. We'll just have to act on our own accord and try not to disturb the wife later."

This is true. This person followed the normal visitor registration process and naturally did not dare to cause trouble at the end of the chapter.

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded to each other, agreeing with Pei Xiaoxing's words.

Before they could come up with any further solutions, they heard a clear and hearty laugh.

"What do you think I am? Are you going to attack me? Am I, Yuan Ziyun, such a rude and unreasonable person?"

The person who walked out from behind the tree was wearing a moon-white gown and waving a folding fan. When he smiled, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes became gentle.

The moment Raven saw him, his face grew even darker, his fists clenched tightly, and he was clearly ready to strike.

Having followed Sheng Ran for so many years, he was very familiar with the person in front of him, and he could see through the dark side hidden under his gentle appearance at a glance.

Yuan Ziyun grew up with the two girls from the Sheng family and they were childhood sweethearts.

The Yuan family betrothed him to Sheng Ran, but he was unwilling to accept the decision and tried every possible way to bully her and make things difficult for her.

When he was young, it might have been just a joke between children, but as he grew older, the hatred in his eyes became stronger.

Because the person he loves is the saintly lady, Sheng Jieyue.

Even if he went to great lengths to cancel his engagement with Sheng Ran, he was still not qualified to marry the Holy Female.

Over the years, he has been Sheng Jieyue's lackey, trying every possible way to please her in an attempt to win her favor.

Even though it was so troublesome, he was determined to hunt down Sheng Ran all the way. Raven had already figured it out in his mind, and there must have been Sheng Jieyue's instructions behind it.

Even though he knew before that this so-called saint female was not a pure and kind person, and that the secret of fratricide had been uncovered, Raven still felt disappointed for Sheng Ran.

No wonder she's been reluctant to return to Central City.

"Hello everyone, long time no see." Yuan Ziyun closed his folding fan and tapped his palm with the fan ribs. The sound was like morning dew falling on grass. He gave Raven another look, saying meaningfully, "I finally waited until you arrived."

Raven looked at the faint bloodstains on the hem of his gown—they weren't his, but belonged to a member of the Blood Shadow Gang last night.

It turns out he had been following.

Not too far, not too close, I watched them fight their way out of the forest, watched them try every means to protect their wives, and watched them run towards the end of the chapter covered in the stench of corpses.

It was not until this moment that he slowly stepped forward, as if he was watching a pre-choreographed play.

Raven had seen how he had hurt Sheng Ran in the past and couldn't bear it for a moment.

The black feather shot over, but was easily deflected by Yuan Ziyun with his folding fan.

His eyes passed over the beastmen and looked straight into the house.

"Where's that little loser?"

Pei Xiaoxing blocked his view, "Who allowed you to call our mistress like that?"

Yuan Ziyun's smile deepened: "She and I are old acquaintances. It's none of your business what I want to call her."

None of the beastly men were easy to mess with. Hearing the contempt in his words, they all activated their special abilities.

Ling Rui lowered his voice and said, "If you disrespect my wife again, I will make sure you walk out of here horizontally."

Yuan Ziyu is also a high-level orc with superpowers, so he naturally knows how powerful the four male beasts in front of him are.

His smile froze slightly, but he still pretended to be calm. "I just came here to catch up with old times, and this is how you treat me?"

"Hasn't this always been the way your mainland country treats guests?" Huai Jun snorted coldly.

As a hostage, Yuan Ziyun also contributed to the humiliation he suffered here.

He was in no mood for superficiality. "What on earth are you doing here?"

"Didn't I send someone to tell you a long time ago? I want to treat you little loser to a cup of tea and discuss something with you."

These beastly men were guarding the door tightly, so Sheng Ran must be in this room.

Yuan Ziyun raised an eyebrow and opened his folding fan with a swish, covering half of his face, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes: "You hide and hide, not even daring to see me. You are indeed a useless woman."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his wrist!

Ling Rui and Raven both felt their hearts tighten—

They thought the other party was going to rush through the door, but Raven had already gathered the wind blades and was gathering momentum. Ling Rui took half a step forward like an arrow, trying to block the other party's way.

But Yuan Ziyun didn't move his feet at all, he just shook his wrist slightly, and the folding fan in his hand was like a hidden weapon that was tempered with power. With a sharp sound that broke through the air, it bypassed the sight of the two people and flew straight to the window of the inner room!

"Not good!" Huai Jun was the first to react. He turned around and tried to stop it, snatching the folding fan with his bare hands.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the folding fan quickly split into dozens of blades, at an extremely fast speed and with tricky angles.

Pei Xiaoxing roared and rushed to the window, his sharp claws trying his best to block it, but he was still a little too slow——

"Crash!" The window paper was smashed, and the blade, carrying wood chips, rushed straight towards Sheng Ran on the couch!

At this critical moment, the green plants by the window suddenly glowed, and the leaves suddenly grew wildly and intertwined, instantly weaving into an emerald green net!

"Puff!" More than a dozen blades were smashed down, most of their force was dissipated, and they fell crookedly to the ground, covered with gray dust.

Yuan Ziyun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he wanted to attack again without giving up.

Unexpectedly, the plant swung violently, and its thick branches flew towards Yuan Ziyun's face.
