Sky Castle Master Husband 5
Chu Li caught a few key words, his eyes fell on the man's back, and without much thought, he followed him.
Inside the city, lights blazed, flowers blossomed, and the cries of hawkers filled the streets, reaching Chu Li's ears. The man before him, ruthless and cautious, vanished completely. He waved his fan intermittently, his eyes watching the vendors hawking their wares. From time to time, he'd even flirt with her from behind.
Chu Li curled the corners of his lips, finding it hard to imagine that this was something a man would do.
Forget it, people in the city have many quirks that are beyond the understanding of an ordinary person like her.
She dismissed her wild thoughts and followed the man. After thinking for a while, she tentatively asked, "From what you just said, we... knew each other before?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly put away the fan in his hand, patted his palm, and smiled heartily.
Then, this person looked at her with a strange look: "Brother Lu doesn't know me, but I know Brother Lu."
"What do you mean?" Chu Li was not panicked and asked.
"My name is Ren Yuzhi, and I'm one of the first men to stay by the City Lord's side." Ren Yuzhi was extremely proud when he said this. He raised his neck and glanced at Chu Li. "Over the years, the City Lord has missed you very much. He often asked us to draw your portrait and learn your manners. Even if I die in this life, I will remember Brother Lu."
…
Chu Li was silent. Although he looked calm on the outside, his heart had actually been swept away by the storm and was in a mess.
She had assumed the masked man had fabricated an identity for her, that of a wealthy family scion, but she hadn't anticipated the trump card she'd secured, allowing her to infiltrate the inner circle and possess a far more complex identity. From Ren Yuzhi's words, she could surmise that Lu Changxing seemed to have a close relationship with the city lord.
Perhaps Lu Changxing is the city lord's beloved White Moonlight. This White Moonlight faked his own death and escaped, and the city lord, consumed by longing, specially recruited this group of men to replace his White Moonlight. This bloody drama is truly remarkable.
But since it was Bai Yueguang, the city lord should be the one who was most familiar with Bai Yueguang's every move, right? The masked man asked her to disguise herself like this, which was equivalent to forcibly teleporting a novice to the max-level boss village. A single word or action could reveal her flaws.
"What are you thinking about, Brother Lu?"
Ren Yuzhi's voice suddenly rang out. Chu Li paused for a moment, then reacted. He immediately put on his signature smile and replied, "It's been a while since we last met. You've changed so much, and I'm a little nervous."
"Brother Lu, don't worry. The City Lord has been waiting for a long time and will not let you feel uncomfortable."
Is this how the word "uncomfortable" is used? Why does she feel like she has entered a den of wolves? Will her innocence be in danger tonight? She is still a single dog since birth!
Chu Li took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and immediately changed the subject: "I was outside the city during the day and heard someone say that you captured a man today?"
"Brother Lu is gifted and handsome, so there's no need to worry about others taking his place."
After saying that, Ren Yuzhi smiled again.
What a way of avoiding the important issue.
Chu Li smiled apologetically. She wasn't jealous at all; she just wanted to rescue You Chengze and bring justice to the people. Ren Yuzhi might look friendly, but at that moment, Lu Changxing and Ren Yuzhi were completely rivals in love. Any further questioning would be in vain. It would be best to wait and see what happened next.
-
In the center of the Sky City is an extremely luxurious palace. The bright red and gold colors are particularly eye-catching under the interweaving of lanterns and torches.
After walking up several flights of stairs and through the corridor, Ren Yuzhi raised his hand and pushed open a golden door, then slowly looked at Chu Li.
Ren Yuzhi's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything. Then he bowed lightly, saluted, and retreated silently.
In a place of wealth and power, outsiders must retreat. Chu Li still understood this principle. However, as soon as this person left, she couldn't help but feel scared. She really couldn't imagine what would happen in this palace.
Chu Li took a deep breath and then stepped in.
Inside the hall, men stood neatly between the beams and pillars. These men were different from Ren and Zhi. They wore long red skirts tied with gauze belts, which made their waists look particularly slender and charming.
Their long, dark hair cascaded down their shoulders, some even pinned a peach blossom branch to their ears. Their faces were smeared with rouge and powder, and they held folding fans or played the zither.
The soft music overlaps endlessly, and the thick and rich incense fills the air.
Vulgar! !
Chu Li couldn't bear to look at what these men had become...
Fortunately, You Chengze was not among the men standing in line to receive customers. If he were really asked to do this, You Chengze would probably be furious.
"Are you Lu Changxing?"
Chu Li's thoughts were interrupted. She heard a rustling sound. When she came to her senses, all the men who were standing on the side had surrounded her. Along with them came all kinds of fragrances from their bodies, which made Chu Li feel overwhelmed.
"I……"
Before Chu Li could answer, a dagger suddenly stabbed at her.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and with a movement in her arms, the raven and the little fox leaped up and angrily attacked the people who attacked Chu Li.
The sudden appearance of the spirit pet was something that everyone had not expected. They all looked surprised, but soon they calmed down and stood with their hands behind their backs.
"You actually have a spirit pet." The leader scoffed, but he showed no sign of weakness. He pulled out something from his pocket and threw it up. "But we are not vegetarians!"
After saying that, a giant eagle immediately came out of the small ball. When it saw Chu Li and Mao Rongrong, it became extremely excited and flapped its wings.
This city in the sky is indeed hidden, and it has actually encountered an opponent.
Chu Li was not panicked at all. Her abilities were no longer as weak as before, so she naturally would not retreat.
She suddenly smiled and ordered the raven to attack while the giant eagle was distracted.
By the time everyone reacted, they could already hear the giant eagle's painful screams. They calmed down a bit and took out their own pets, some attacking, others healing, all with the same goal.
Chu Li hid again and again with his two spirit pets, and his brain worked quickly to use a little trick to get rid of several spirit pets that were nursing their health.
For a moment, there was anger, attack, and counterattack in the hall, and there was chaos.
Chu Li remained calm and composed. She had expected a battle like this to happen sooner or later, but she hadn't expected it to be in the Sky City. Fortunately, while these spirit pets looked enormous, most were only in their primary combat state. Their attacks were completely ineffective against her two fully armored spirit pets.
She hadn't had enough fun fighting yet and was just about to send Raven to attack the railing on the second floor so that this group of people could see how powerful she was.
Before he could finish his words, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
"Who is taking action in the hall?"
As soon as this voice came out, the man in front of Chu Li froze in place. He even exaggeratedly retracted his spirit pet and put on a harmless look again.
…
This change was so fast, he instantly disappeared completely and everything was peaceful. Wasn't he still so arrogant when he just started?!
Chu Li finished sighing, then saw a red ribbon floating down from the top floor. A gentle breeze blew, incense filled the air, and a graceful figure stood nimbly on the ribbon.
"Welcome to the City Lord!"
The men's voices rang out in unison.
She looked up and the woman happened to look over there as well.
The moment their eyes met, Chu Li felt an inexplicable fear and a chill down his spine.
Suddenly, a bright light pierced towards him, and Chu Li subconsciously shielded his eyes. The next second, the incense intensified. Before he could recover from the discomfort of the bright light, Chu Li felt someone grab his waist forcefully, and the ground beneath his feet vanished.
Something is wrong!
Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes. The woman who had just been walking barefoot on the ribbon had now reached his side. Her fair, slender arms were wrapped around his waist, and a gentleness appeared on her delicately made-up face. Her lively eyes, especially the deep ones, were all filled with Lu Changxing's human skin.
This was bad news. The city lord had carried her away on the spot, and she still had such a dignified expression on her face. It was obvious that she was deeply poisoned, terminally ill, and incurable. How could she save You Chengze, how could she save the people?!
The female city lord was very skilled. She held Chu Li in her arms and swayed around in the hall. Then she said condescendingly that he had offended the most important guest and should go to the basement to receive punishment.
The next second, Chu Li saw the men who had been so arrogant just now showing regret on their faces and accepting their punishment and leaving one after another.
Having power and influence is awesome!
Chu Li sighed.
Suddenly, another sense of imbalance hit me.
Chu Li subconsciously hugged the furry thing in his arms tightly.
After a while, the feeling of groundedness returned to Chu Li, and he opened his eyes and looked at the person beside him.
The female city lord was extremely beautiful, with a high nose bridge, affectionate eyes, stylish eyebrows, skin as white as snow, a slender figure, and was extremely elegant in her every move.
Chu Li couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement. After so much time, she was still able to support him so well.
Male beauty nourishes people.
After a while, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard.
The city lord looked over, took her hand and led her into the house.
As soon as Chu Li stepped in, he smelled a pungent fragrance at the tip of his nose. There were several wisps of this fragrance, which was extremely unpleasant.
She couldn't help but frowned, and when she looked up, she saw a group of women sitting around a round wooden table. They were all beautiful and charming.
Suddenly, they heard someone coming over, and the women stopped talking and laughing for a while, and looked over.
"It's really Changxing." Someone recognized Lu Changxing and said.
"Congratulations to Shu'er. She found her treasure again. Fortunately, she didn't lose her own baby." Someone else said.
These two sentences of conversation brought Chu Li back to her senses from her infatuated thoughts. She raised her eyes and rubbed them, making sure that she was not seeing things in front of her - there was a group of women sitting in front of her!
That's not right! It's not about being close to women, but being addicted to men!
So what's going on with these women?
Chu Li was shocked, and a bad thought emerged from her mind -
Could it be that the City Lord... is attracted to both men and women?!
Ridiculous and vulgar!!
How can people from another world have such fun?!
