Beast Taming· Chapter 400: Legendary Figures

It was dark outside the window, and soon it started snowing. The snow fell heavier and heavier, like goose down catkins, dancing in the wind.

This is the first snow of the year. The heavy snow fell into the Qinhuai River, floated gently for a while, and then gradually melted.

Inside Miaoxianfang, the incense was curling and the air was warm. Xinyi opened the window, and the cold wind as sharp as a sword blew into the room, but was quickly transformed into soft warm wind.

"Miss, it's snowing, it's snowing!" Xing'er shouted happily, clapping her hands.

"Yes, it's snowing." Ning Xinyi smiled and stretched out her snow-white and slender hands out of the window, carefully picking up a snowflake. The snowflake was crystal clear, with white velvet on the edge, which was very beautiful. Unfortunately, this beautiful thing was very easy to dissipate, and soon it turned into a drop of water in her palm.

"Beautiful things have such a short life." She sighed softly, withdrew her hand, and stared blankly at the heavy snow.

"No, miss, look!" Xing'er caught a snowflake, turned her fingers slightly, and a blue light sank into the snowflake. The snowflake immediately stopped melting, freezing in this beautiful moment. "Look, miss, isn't it preserved?"

Ning Xinyi smiled bitterly and shook her head. "If you do this, it will no longer be what it used to be." She said this in a gloomy tone.

Xing'er didn't understand, but she knew that the young lady didn't like this, so she removed the magic power attached to the snowflake, and soon the snowflake melted.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and soon the garden was covered in white. Not only the courtyard, but also the outside world was completely covered in white snow. Only a few bright red wintersweets were blooming in the corners of the wall, adding a little cherry red to the silver world.

"Kuuuuu" There was a knock on the door. Xing'er ran over to open the door and was stunned. "Is it you? How dare you come here? Didn't you make my young lady angry enough last time?"

Shi Yan rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly in his heart, "How could I be angry with your young lady?"

When Ning Xinyi saw that it was him, she felt happy for some reason, and then she said to Xing'er with a stern face, "Xing'er, who is making noise outside? Hurry up, I want to be alone for a while."

Sister." Xing'er turned her head and raised her eyebrows, with her hands on her waist, "Did you hear that? My lady said that she needs to be quiet for a while, so please go in, young master..."

Shi Yan smiled bitterly, but he was not here to play this time. A while ago, he wiped out a Qingtian Heaven Realm troop a thousand kilometers west of the bridgehead, and found a small teleportation array there. Fortunately, they were short of materials and could only build a small teleportation array. And it had just been built not long ago, and before it could form a scale, Du Tianmo asked it to deal with him. Otherwise, when they formed a certain scale, it would be a catastrophe for Huangtian Heaven Realm.

However, Shi Yan did not find the two people who were outside Dongbai City in their camp, and through the soul-searching and consciousness-stealing formation, he learned that the two people had never appeared in the camp. This confirmed his guess that Qingtian had more than one group of people sneaking into Huangtian Heaven Realm.

He came to Miaoxianfang this time just to look for some clues, because the two strands of hair he found in Fairy Ning's room last time were indeed those two people. In other words, those two people did exist in Miaoxianfang, or in other words, Miaoxianfang was simply a base of Qingtian Realm in Huangtian Realm.

Of course, this is all speculation. Data shows that Miaoxianfang has a history of hundreds of years in Huangtian Realm. If it is really a secret base in Qingtian Realm, it would be too terrifying.

So Shi Yan wanted to come here today to investigate, but if he couldn't even get through the door, wouldn't that mean that this trip today was in vain?

To be honest, in this Miaoxianfang, he only knew the courtesan Ning Xinyi, and he didn't know the others. Besides, who would know some things except the top management? Fairy Ning might not know, and Shi Yan just came to Fairy Ning to try his luck.

"Fairy Ning, Fairy Ning, I'm Shi Yan. Let me come in and sit for a while. I have something I want to ask you." Shi Yan shouted, regardless of Xing'er's objections.

Seeing his funny look, Ning Xinyi burst out laughing and said to Xing'er, "Okay, let him in."

Xing Er wrinkled her nose and glared at Shi Yan in dissatisfaction, "You are such a shameless person, you are embarrassing my young lady, go in quickly."

Shi Yan chuckled and said, "Thank you, Sister Xing'er. This is for you."

As he said that, he took out a small ornament he brought from the Xuanlong Realm and gave it to Xing'er. Xing'er's eyes lit up, but she shook her head and refused to take it. "I don't want it. Don't try to bribe me."

Shi Yan's forehead was filled with black lines. It seemed that someone had really tried to bribe Xing'er before. Could it be that Du Tianmo?

"It's not a bribe. Don't you see how familiar I am with your young lady? Just accept it with confidence." Shi Yan stuffed the jewelry into her hand, then stepped over the threshold and entered Fairy Ning's room.

Xing'er happily put away the accessories, then closed the door with a sly smile, thinking to herself that it would be nice if the young master could be my son-in-law at this time.

The clear and spacious sound of the piano lingers in the air, ethereal and lonely.

This was his second time in Fairy Ning's room. The ebony floor exuded a faint fragrance. In front of him, behind a screen, Ning Xinyi was sitting behind a tea table, quietly brewing tea. The flames of the small red clay stove jumped, burning the bronze filigree teapot. The boiling water in the pot gurgled, and the emerald green tea leaves tumbled and rolled with the rhythm of the guqin, and the fragrance filled the air.

Finally he met Ning Xinyi. Although they had only been apart for a few days, Shi Yan found that Fairy Ning had changed.

Shi Yan couldn't tell what had changed, it was just a feeling.

"General Haotian should be called Lord Haotian now." Fairy Ning rolled her eyes at him, and said coquettishly, "I didn't expect that you came to our Miaoxianfang with a fake name for the first time. Is meeting me so embarrassing?"

Shi Yan smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "Shi Yan is my real name, and what you are saying now is Haotian is fake."

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, the Lord of Haotian City has done such a big thing." Fairy Ning carefully brewed tea and said, "Suppressed the rebel Du Tianmo of Tianlong Realm and wiped out the army that sneaked into Qingtian Realm. You are appreciated by His Majesty Huang Tian, ​​who directly let you sit in the position of Du Tianmo, and you are in charge of the commander-in-chief. The political and military power are in your hands. It can be said that you are the master of Tianlong Realm. Speaking of which, Tianlong Realm is not like Binhai Realm. Tianlong Realm is not comparable to Binhai Realm in size, geographical location and level. Take the military power in your hands for example. You used to control only 5,000 troops in the ruffian army, but now in Tianlong Realm, it has been directly expanded to 30,000. This is still a period of war. If the front line moves forward, you will have at least 50,000 troops in your hands."

Shi Yan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Fairy Ning knew so much.

Seeing his surprised expression, Fairy Ning smiled and said, "You don't have to be surprised. You are now the most widely circulated figure in the market. Teahouses and restaurants are full of news about you. There are also storytellers who have compiled your deeds into commentaries and perform them in major restaurants and teahouses. We have a segment in Miaoxianfang every evening that tells the story of the legendary figure Haotian." As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Shi Yan was very puzzled, "Fairy Ning, you must be joking. I am just an ordinary person, not a legendary figure."

"You are the only one who thinks of yourself as an ordinary person." Fairy Ning rolled her eyes at him again. "The youngest marquis, and now the youngest grand duke in history, has replaced Du Tianmo as the new Tianlong duke and should be called Bailong duke. Who can become a grand duke at your age? Secondly, you are the master of the Tianlong world, the lord of Tianlong City, and command an army of 30,000. You are the undisputed number one in the Tianlong world. Who else can compare to you? According to rumors, you and the third prince Li Tiancheng are brothers. If you say you are not a legendary figure, who is a legendary figure?"

Shi Yan smiled. She was really a legendary figure. Everyone has vanity, especially when these words came from Fairy Ning. Shi Yan felt a little flattered when she praised him.

The tea was ready, and he carefully poured a cup and handed it to Shi Yan, "My lord, please have some tea."

"Hehe, then I'm in for a treat." Shi Yan drank it all in one gulp, dragged a cushion over and sat down in front of the coffee table, praising, "It tastes good."

Ning Xinyi saw him drinking tea, not only did she not find it ugly, but she found it heartwarming. She had seen too many men who pretended to be nice, and everyone wore a thick mask in front of her. But Shi Yan? He was never pretentious, and Fairy Ning felt the word "real" in him.

"Come and have another cup." Fairy Ning poured him another cup, and then looked at him drinking tea, suddenly becoming a little dazed.

Shi Yan smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Fairy Ning. I'm just a rough man, and I can't drink tea as elegantly as those young masters."

Fairy Ning shook her head. "They were just trying to be cultured back then, not as sincere as you are. In comparison, I prefer you being yourself like this."

"Hehe," Shi Yan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her and laughed dryly twice.

Ning Xinyi carefully poured another cup of tea into the teacup in front of Shi Yan. Shi Yan said, "Fairy Ning brewed good tea, but it can't be wasted like this. My sister once said that there is a taste in your mouth and tea in your mind. Only when you savor it carefully when you miss it can you taste good tea. What's the use of drinking too much? You've wasted a pot of good tea. After drinking it, the tea remains in your mind. Even if I don't brew it, the taste will naturally appear when you want to drink it. This is not burying this pot of good tea. Fairy Ning brewed such good tea, how can I waste it? I'd better taste it."

"From what you said, your sister is someone who understands and loves tea. If there is a chance, I must meet her."

Shi Yan nodded and smiled, "Of course, of course."
