Chapter 289 City Lord (2)
"No, His Majesty Lingjun lied to the old city lord, saying that His Majesty was a woman disguised as a man."
Devouring Heaven barely managed to suppress a laugh.
I'm sorry, but when he saw Lu Lingjun say those words, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The old city lord is quite a talent. He heard that the city lord of Huanhua City was a woman disguised as a man, and considering how ridiculously handsome she was, he actually believed it.
Then, he instantly imagined countless plans to obtain the City of Illusions by marrying her, and he convinced himself of them. In the end, he very cooperatively wrote the letter of state, along with a separate letter to Gu Yanjing.
Tuntian used his divine sense to look at it, and it said that the old city lord already knew that Gu Yanjing was disguised as a man, and that Gu Yanjing must marry Lu Lingjun, otherwise he would announce his affair to the world.
Based on that idiot's threatening tone, Devouring Heaven predicted that this old city lord wouldn't live much longer.
However, none of this was within Lu Lingjun's consideration.
That's ridiculous, he's a professional at it.
After Lu Lingjun tricked him into giving him the imperial letter, he brought him to Huanhua City.
Meanwhile, at the City Lord's Mansion, the banquet welcoming Lu Lingjun had ended, and Lu Lingjun was kneeling in Gu Yanjing's room admitting his mistake.
Gu Yan sat on the bed, holding the letter the old city lord had written to him.
Holding the letter, he knew without a doubt that Lu Lingjun was lying to him.
"Have you read the letter your father wrote to me?" Gu Yanjing raised his foot and kicked Lu Lingjun.
His physical body had long since been replaced; he could walk and jump, and even jump very high.
"I haven't seen it, I'm blind." Lu Lingjun closed his eyes, which were covered with a strip of cloth, and he looked quite handsome.
Even if you could see it now, you could only insist that you didn't see it, otherwise you might get beaten to death at any time.
However, Gu Yanjing is not one to follow the script. Even though he stubbornly denied it, Gu Yanjing still kicked him to the ground and gave him a good cuddling.
Lu Lingjun said that the beating had even healed his eyes, and he could see his beautiful daughter again. She looked so pretty even when he was being beaten.
Aside from my face hurting a little, there don't seem to be any other drawbacks.
Lu Lingjun knelt on the cobblestone path outside all night, while Gu Yanjing slept soundly and was in a great mood.
The next morning, Gu Congxin arrived and saw Lu Lingjun kneeling there. After hesitating for a moment, he left and ordered everyone to stay away from that area.
It left everyone completely confused.
When Gu Yanjing woke up, Lu Lingjun was also woken up and limped after Gu Yanjing to have breakfast.
Gu Yanjing hadn't even finished his meal when the people of Ice Phoenix City discovered that their sickly young city lord hadn't returned home all night. They came knocking, demanding to know what Gu Yanjing had done to their young city lord the previous night, as he was delicate and frail and couldn't endure any torture or hardship.
Their city lord said, "Qian*, keep a close eye on things. If you find out that the young city lord and the other city lord have spent the night together, you must make a scene. Make a big scene, make a scene that can no longer be hidden or covered up, that's what you call a disaster."
"Hey, hey, hey, hand over my young city lord! Our young city lord came to your Illusion Flower City to establish diplomatic relations between the two cities. If your city lord hurts our young city lord, then the two cities will go to war, I'm telling you."
A large group of envoys from Ice Phoenix City blocked the entrance to the city lord's mansion, pointing at a group of guards blocking the way and making a racket, causing a headache for everyone.
The guards of Huanhua City also shouted, "Who said anything about your young city lord? Our city lord just took a liking to your young city lord and let him stay in the manor for one night. It's no big deal."
Gu Congxin stood behind a group of guards, arms crossed, watching the show as if he were an outsider detached from the situation.
Tsk tsk tsk, they're having a meal inside, what are you all making a fuss about? They're just being affectionate.
After Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun finished their meal, they heard a commotion outside, which gave Gu Yanjing a headache.
"Go and get rid of those lunatics outside. You come with them too." Lu Lingjun is just a menace if he stays here.
"It's fine once they leave. Zhuque, have some tea first. I'll be back in a bit." Lu Lingjun stood up, leaned close to Gu Yanjing, kissed him, and then left.
Gu Yan's face darkened, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
Did this guy forget to wipe his mouth after eating? He got oil all over his face, damn it.
At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Lingjun was still walking unsteadily. His legs had been kneeling all night, and even iron legs would break.
His face was also very pale, and there was a mark left by Gu Yanjing next to him. He looked like a delicate flower who had been ravaged all night and suffered all kinds of humiliation.
There was nothing that could be done; Lu Lingjun looked so miserable, as if he had been sexually assaulted.
The group of envoys from Ice Phoenix City were so frightened that they rushed in to support the swaying Lu Lingjun.
However, Lu Lingjun raised his hand, telling them not to come any closer.
“Go back and report to my father. Tell him that I was wrong. The city lord is not what I suspected. There is a letter here. Take it back and give it to my father. He will understand.”
Lu Lingjun, looking exhausted from the previous night, steadily handed the letter to the dumbfounded envoys.
"Young City Lord, shall we go back together?" The envoy almost choked and fainted, only waking up after someone pinched his philtrum.
No, they came with the intention of taking away the city lord, so how did they end up getting their own young city lord involved?
This is different from the script they wrote.
"I'm not going back. I would disgrace Ice Phoenix City, fail my father's instructions, and become a sinner of Ice Phoenix City. I am not worthy to return to Ice Phoenix City." Lu Lingjun waved his hand, looking as if he was beyond redemption.
Then, she turned and went inside sadly, staggering with each step, looking as if she had suffered a lot.
The envoy was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Their young city lord has been killed.
That's not fair!
Nan Wan'er and Tun Tian, who had witnessed the whole thing, couldn't help but give Lu Lingjun's back a thumbs up.
This guy has the potential to be an Oscar winner; putting him here in this time-traveling world is a complete waste of his talent.
Gu Congxin saw Nan Wan'er and Tuntian across the street. After Lu Lingjun went inside and chased away the group of lingering Ice Phoenix City envoys, Gu Congxin crossed the road.
"What are you two doing here?" Gu Congxin casually took the candied hawthorn from Nan Wan'er's hand, and without even caring about the drool, took a bite.
Ugh, this sweet and sour stuff, and you have to spit out the seeds. Only a little girl like Nan Wan'er would like to eat it.
After taking a bite, Gu Congxin took another bite and then returned the candied hawthorn to Nan Wan'er.
Nan Wan'er was dumbfounded: "Wait, who are you? Why did you steal my candied hawthorn? And you even ate my candied hawthorn."
That's insane.
"I am Gu Congxin." The handsome young man raised an eyebrow, looking arrogant, just like the stupid second male lead in those idol dramas.
"What the hell? What are you doing here? What happened to you?" Nan Wan'er looked at the person in front of her, even more dumbfounded.
Gu Congxin?
How did it turn out like this? Did His Majesty turn him back into a human?
They won't be easy to bully anymore.
Fortunately, she has a husband and helpers.
"His Majesty said that it would be easier for me to fight you if I became like this. Look, I'm taller and stronger than you now." Gu Congxin smiled smugly and pointed his middle finger at Nan Wan'er's forehead, almost knocking her over.
Fortunately, Tuntian helped Nan Wan'er from behind, but she was still so angry that she wanted to jump up and bite off Gu Congxin's finger.
"So what? I may not be as good as you, but I have a husband. You definitely can't beat my husband." Nan Wan'er puffed out her cheeks in anger, but she was helpless against the shameless Gu Congxin.
He turned around and pushed the Devourer out from behind him.
Looking at the candied hawthorn in his hand, he angrily threw it to the ground.
It's been chewed by a dog, why would she eat it?
After thinking for a moment, she stomped on it again, hid behind Tuntian, and stuck out her tongue at Gu Congxin.
Gu Congxin wanted to hit Nan Wan'er, but looking at Tuntian in front of him, he felt that he could give it a try.
The body His Majesty gave me is actually quite good; it should be quite capable of fighting.
Ten minutes later, Gu Congxin fell to the ground, hitting his head and bleeding. He was then carried away by several guards at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.
Looking at Gu Congxin's disheveled appearance, Nan Wan'er happily kissed Tuntian's cheek: "My husband is the best. He chased away the bad guys for me."
Tuntian shook his head: "He's not a bad person."
He's just being a jerk.
When Lu Lingjun rushed back, Gu Yanjing hadn't finished his meal. He took off the cloth covering his eyes to pretend he was blind and ate some of what Gu Yanjing had left.
"Why don't you go back with them? Don't all your ministers want to take you back? They're kneeling at the city gate, crying and wailing, as if I'm forcibly taking you away." Gu Yanjing finished his meal, paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, and then spoke.
Gu Congxin now protected Huanhua City as if it were his own home. Seeing this group of people crying and wailing in the city was very annoying. As soon as Lu Lingjun left, he immediately ordered his men to throw the mournful envoys out.
Lu Lingjun's face stiffened. He hadn't expected Gu Yanjing to remember this. He sat up straight and said solemnly.
"Isn't this just like you robbing me? I came to visit you, and after one night I was left here with you. Tell me, didn't you rob me?"
That's how it is, that's how it appears to outsiders.
Gu Yanjing sneered and, without saying a word, smashed the teacup in his hand into Lu Lingjun's face.
For some reason, upon arriving in this world, his anger suddenly flared up, and he felt an intense urge to beat Lu Lingjun, that seductive and shameless woman, to death.
But this slutty, shameless woman had absolutely no sense of propriety and kept getting close to him. Wasn't she just asking for a beating?
Lu Lingjun dodged, avoiding the cup hitting his face, but inevitably his pale face was scalded red by the tea.
Lu Lingjun wiped the water off his face; it hurt a little, but he still insisted on changing the subject.
"This food isn't as good as Zhang Ling'er's. By the way, where is Zhang Ling'er?"
"I don't know," Gu Yanjing replied coldly.
“Then how about I send someone to look for her? She’s your first apprentice, and she’s a good cook. If she’s not here, you probably won’t be able to get used to the food.” Lu Lingjun was taken aback.
However, what he said was true. The food in Huanhua City was on the sweeter side and a bit cold, which was not Gu Yanjing's favorite flavor. Gu Yanjing ate very little at each meal.
“I think you shouldn’t be focusing your energy on finding Zhang Ling’er right now. Instead, you should be looking for where your main body is trapped and how to get it out.”
Gu Yanjing sneered, stood up, and placed his hand on Lu Lingjun's brow.
This physical body is actually an avatar; Lu Lingjun's main body is still in the Heavenly Realm.
Even Lu Lingjun was in the most dangerous Wuji Mountain in the Heavenly Realm. Gu Yanjing didn't dare to go to that place. It wasn't originally an ice mountain. It was because too many gods and demons died there that the mountain was filled with malevolent energy and solid ice formed from that energy. When immortals from the Heavenly Realm went in, it was as if their cultivation was sealed, and they completely turned into mortals.
These dozen or so people, unless there's absolutely no other way, no one dares to enter that place casually.
Gu Yanjing never expected that Lu Lingjun would be so bold as to dare to go in alone.
Now it's all over, the main body can't get out, only the clone is left outside getting beaten up.
Gu Yanjing is furious whenever she thinks about this, and she gets so angry that she can't sleep at night because of her toothache.
How dare Lu Lingjun do that?
"Zhuque, I was wrong." Lu Lingjun walked around to Gu Yanjing's side, hugged Gu Yanjing's waist, and rubbed against his Zhuque's neck.
“I just wanted to see if there was a way to save you, Zhuque. I can’t watch you die. The half of your heart is mine, and it’s still beating. I finally managed to save you, and now your life should be mine too.” Lu Lingjun licked Gu Yanjing’s neck.
Gu Yanjing couldn't help but feel her body go limp, and she almost couldn't stand up.
Lu Lingjun knew him too well; with just a slight movement, he could fall into the other's arms.
"My life is my own." Gu Yanjing almost burst into tears, and was held tightly by Lu Lingjun, unable to exert any strength in her arms and legs.
“These are yours, and they are mine too, Jiaojiao. Look, these are all mine. Only I can touch them, not you.”
Lu Lingjun held Gu Yanjing's foot and kissed it.
Gu Yan's face darkened: "Am I crazy? Touching your toes?"
Lu Lingjun smiled, not taking it to heart, and leaned over to kiss Gu Yanjing's lips, but was pushed away forcefully.
"Get away from me! You just kissed my toes, and now you want to kiss my lips?" Gu Yanjing slammed Lu Lingjun's head onto the table, making Lu Lingjun dizzy.
The impulse that had just surged up was instantly jolted back to reality.
However, Lu Lingjun felt that he could still try harder. After all, he had come this far, and it would be unmanly to back down now.
However, Gu Yanjing kicked Lu Lingjun away: "Get lost, go brush your teeth before you come back."
