Never mind what I said.
Shao Siming spoke with a helpless tone. How could a normal person create a sun and kill a Celestial King from hundreds of thousands of miles away?
I want to see what the person Wu Xiao cares about looks like, so I stare at him carefully.
Then, phrases like "imposing figure," "dignified appearance," "dragon-like bearing," "phoenix-like grace," "naturally gifted," "joyful as spring," "sharp as autumn frost," "a gentleman as jade on the road," and "unparalleled in the world" kept popping into my mind.
This was the first time Shao Siming had ever seen such a handsome man. No wonder the Empress couldn't forget him; now she understood.
It seems the Empress is indeed a sucker for good looks.
Her face was like that of a demon, with chiseled features; she was indeed beautiful.
Fearing that she would become engrossed in it, Shao Siming quickly snapped out of her daze, stepped forward, and wanted to treat the person from her priestess's quarters.
He had only helped his men stop the bleeding, but now they needed more intensive treatment. Just then, Li Ming clapped his hands and said:
"Done."
"So fast." Shao Siming didn't expect that Li Ming had already healed the injured people for her. She made a gesture, and the people all disappeared on the tenth floor. Then she cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your righteous help, Young Master Li."
"It's nothing." Li Ming shook his head, not caring at all.
"Young Master Li, greetings." The young masters of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan came over and bowed to Li Ming. This man was truly a formidable figure, and they had to admire him.
Li Ming smiled at the two of them and said, "I remember you said earlier that if I could handle that old man, you would perform a handstand while washing your hair right here. I want to see it."
The two young masters were quite embarrassed, looking at each other awkwardly.
The Dragon Clan's young master stared at the Phoenix Clan's young master, then suddenly grabbed him and shouted, "You brat, come with me and tell me, why are you after my sister?"
Phoenix Young Master flung his hand away, his face equally displeased: "You're turning the tables on me! It was clearly you who was after my sister. If I hadn't discovered the two of you, I would still be completely in the dark."
The young master of the dragon clan said, "Let me tell you, don't get any more ideas. You're not worthy of my sister."
The young master of Phoenix did not back down at all, saying, "You are even less worthy. My sister is the Holy Maiden of Phoenix, the only Holy Maiden of Phoenix Holy Land."
The young dragon lord scoffed, "You talk as if my sister isn't a saintess. Let me tell you, you'd better not try to get your hands on my sister again, but I'm determined to have her."
"I'm going to have your sister too, and even the Dragon King can't stop me, I said it!" said the Phoenix Prince.
You don't deserve it.
You don't deserve it.
The two young masters exchanged heated words, then transformed into a golden dragon and a golden phoenix, and quickly began to fight. The roars of the dragon and the cries of the phoenix echoed in the tenth-floor pavilion.
Shao Siming looked at each other and said, "I listened for a while and I think I understand. They both like each other's younger sister, but they don't agree. What a bizarre development."
Li Ming chuckled inwardly; this bizarre turn of events was indeed quite peculiar.
Shao Siming gestured for them to sit down, then ignored them and asked Li Ming to sit at the tea table. She then sat down herself and poured the old man's Yellow Spring water into the sea.
With a wave of his hand, he replaced the teapot with a new one, and two teacups appeared. He invited Li Ming to drink the tea.
A dragon and a phoenix were fighting on the flying boat, and Li Ming suddenly had the feeling that they were adding to the excitement.
"Please." Shao Siming placed a cup of tea in front of Li Ming.
Li Ming took it and chatted while drinking.
From her, Li Ming learned that she was ordered by the Empress to keep an eye on Black Dog and Green Ivy, fearing they might cause a death, since this matter had become quite serious.
If things get out of hand, she'll have to clean up their mess.
Unexpectedly, she encountered someone who hired people from the Yellow Springs Ferry to kill her. Shao Siming knew that the scarred man must have been wronged, so she was sent to kill him. Fortunately, she had a powerful weapon: the bronze cauldron.
Although I can't kill it, I can protect myself.
Li Ming asked, "Do you know who wants to kill you?"
"The line of people who want to kill me could stretch all the way to the desolate wilderness." Shao Siming let out a crisp laugh, completely unconcerned. Many people had tried to kill her over the years, but today's target was the highest-ranking assassin, the tenth-ranked killer from Huangquan Ferry. His weight was indeed heavy.
"Let me figure out who it is for you?" Li Ming said.
Shao Siming said, "No need. I can roughly guess who it is. I can handle it when I get back. I need to make her confess herself. If she doesn't confess, I'll dig a hole and bury her."
Seeing that she didn't want it, Li Ming didn't insist. Instead, he suddenly moved closer to her face and stared into her eyes.
Li Ming's sudden closeness startled Shao Siming. She blinked, shrank back, and blushed slightly, saying shyly, "Young Master Li, what are you doing?"
"Why do you wear a veil all day? I've never seen your face." Li Ming was purely curious.
"You want my face?" Shao Siming asked.
“Hmm.” Li Ming considered using her divine sense to investigate, but she felt it would be unethical and others would disagree. “We’re so familiar with each other, could you please remove the veil and just take a look?”
Shao Siming smiled and said, "In my custom, a woman who is not married cannot remove her veil. If you remove my veil, you must marry me."
She suddenly remembered an interesting story: her sister, the Queen, had once taken her veil, but since she was a woman, it didn't count. However, it was because of this that they became acquainted.
"Does taking your veil mean I have to marry you?" Li Ming thought for a moment, then had a sudden inspiration and said, "How about this, I won't go out to get it, you can get it yourself, that way it won't count, right? Let me take a look, then I'll put it back on."
Shao Siming rolled her eyes, unable to refute for a moment. What a talent! His skin is as thick as the Empress's.
She smiled but didn't say anything, continuing to pour tea for Li Ming, and never mentioned the veil again.
