“I’ve taken a fancy to this girl. Send her to my residence immediately.”
"My lord, the women at Heaven and Earth only sell their art, not their bodies. Please do not make things difficult for us."
"What do you mean by 'performing art but not selling one's body'? As long as I don't charge her after I'm done with her, she doesn't count as selling herself, nor does she break the rules of your Heaven on Earth, hahaha."
As soon as Shen Zhao returned to Heaven and Earth, he saw a group of cultivators in black Taoist robes standing in the main hall. The middle-aged man in his forties, who was in the lead, brazenly cast lewd glances at the dancers.
The shopkeeper, Hu Yushu, stood in front of the dancers, showing no intention of backing down.
What's going on?
Shen Zhao touched his nose, looking puzzled.
Just then, a passerby overheard this and immediately whispered, "Friend, are you from out of town? It's normal that you don't know. Although Heaven on Earth is a place of pleasure..."
But with the backing of high-ranking officials from the Celestial Empire, ordinary people wouldn't dare cause trouble here, and the girls here have always been artists, not prostitutes.
"Oh? Is that so? Then why are these people so bold as to cause trouble?"
"Alas, you don't know this, these are disciples of the Dragon Inquiry Sect. The one in the lead is called Long Ao. He has taken a fancy to a dancer and wants to take her away by force."
"The Dragon Inquiry Sect? Isn't it just a third-rate, down-on-its-luck sect? How dare they act so arrogantly within the imperial city?"
"Your Excellency is unaware of the situation. In the past, even if the Dragon Clan had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly within the Imperial City. It's just that in the past year..."
The Dragon Inquiry Sect has had a stroke of good fortune, having secured the patronage of a powerful figure. Even the royal family has to give them a wide berth; they've become quite formidable.
"What important person is it? So valuable?"
“Naturally, he is my future husband, Empress Longhan, Di Feijing.”
Hearing the name again, Shen Zhao felt slightly embarrassed, thinking to himself, "Damn it, which bastard is using my unwanted alt account to ruin my reputation?"
"You'd better not let me catch you. If I do, I'll give you a good beating and show you how I make you wish you were dead."
At the same time, he also guessed that the person named Di Feijing was either a reincarnated person or had other purposes.
The problem is that he had never even met the Empress of the Dragon Han Dynasty in his previous nine lives, so how did he inexplicably become the husband of the Heavenly Dynasty?
There must be something fishy about this.
But then a passerby said with a regretful expression, "Ever since that Di Fei arrived, the world in the imperial city has changed. The Empress has reigned for 2,700 years and has never had any romantic feelings for a man."
Unexpectedly, she fell for this man named Di Feijing. Three years ago, the Empress issued a grand imperial edict, offering a reward of one million high-grade spirit stones to find Di Feijing, declaring him to be the future husband of the Celestial Empire.
Unexpectedly, after Di Fei arrived, relying on the Empress's favor, he bullied and monopolized the market, committing all sorts of evil deeds. Even when censors reported this to the court, the Empress ignored it.
He even imprisoned the officials who had impeached Di Feijing, and as a result, no one in the capital dared to restrain him anymore.
Meanwhile, impoverished sects like the Dragon Inquiry Sect seized the opportunity to curry favor with Di Feijing, using their status as his henchmen to wreak havoc throughout the Celestial Empire.
Alas, it's always us ordinary people, powerless and without influence, who suffer the most.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao immediately raised his voice: "In broad daylight, there are still lawless madmen who openly abduct women. They are truly shameless. I ask you, is there no law? Is there no justice?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding guests were immediately startled and all looked in Shen Zhao's direction.
The passerby was so frightened he didn't dare breathe, and hurriedly advised, "Brother, are you out of your mind? How dare you say something like that? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Long Ao also noticed Shen Zhao and immediately pointed at him, saying, "Weren't you the one who was yelling nonsense just now? Come out here!"
Shen Zhao pushed through the crowd and walked over, unfolding his folding fan as he said, "It is indeed I. As disciples of the Wenlong Sect, aren't you afraid of retribution for acting so ostentatiously?"
Long Ao: "Retribution? What a joke! Who dares to punish me! I ask you, how can you ants compare to the background and origins of the Dragon Clan?"
"Isn't he just a gigolo who lives off a woman? What kind of background or origin does he have?"
And you few are the worst of the worst; only those ordinary ants are somewhat alarmed by you.
In the presence of a true powerhouse, your performance is nothing short of that of a clown.
These words shocked everyone present, even Long Ao was dumbfounded.
"Is this guy an idiot? How dare he talk like that?"
"Yes, he probably doesn't know how much the Empress dotes on her husband. How dare he say that in public? He's practically courting death."
"Alas, poor stranger. He looks quite handsome, but these words are taboo. He is destined not to live past today."
Long Ao's eyes turned cold: "How dare you insult the current emperor's son-in-law like this? I think you're really tired of living."
Shen Zhao sneered inwardly.
It's as if everyone's never been an emperor's son-in-law, except that they themselves were utterly pathetic in their roles.
Yu Xiyan would never allow herself to act recklessly; on the contrary, she would rather the world know of her existence.
To avoid giving others ammunition to ridicule them.
"I'm sorry, but I've had my fortune told. I'm afraid I won't die anytime soon. I'm sorry to disappoint you all. But I'm sure you didn't check the almanac before you went out today. I'm sure you can't avoid getting a beating from me."
"You still dare to be stubborn even when you're about to die? I'll teach you a lesson today."
After speaking, Long Ao struck out with his palm.
"Let me show you the ultimate techniques of my Dragon Asking Sect, the Thirteen Divine Dragon Palms, Azure Dragon Emerges from its Cave... Hey, what are you doing..."
As a result, before Long Ao could even get into position, Shen Zhao had already taken the lead, swiftly closing in on him and placing his folding fan around Long Ao's neck.
