These women were beautiful, with slender waists and necks; they were all outstanding figures in a crowd.
Now, they appear in such large groups, seemingly all of them slaves or servants.
A strange feeling welled up in Linghu Lan's heart. She wanted to wake Fu Xin, but it was as if someone had put a mute drug in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.
A beautiful woman in white, who was at the head of the group, led everyone in bowing to Linghu Lan and Fu Xin, and then helped them put on their clothes.
Linghu Lan felt like a soft noodle, letting them do whatever they wanted with her.
After they were dressed, the woman in white helped them lean against the headboard and clapped her hands.
Several sturdier old women came in, carried a stretcher bed, and carefully moved Fuxin onto it. Fuxin was completely red, unconscious, and let out a soft moan in her sleep, as if she was in great pain.
The old woman carried the bound heart out, and the woman in white bowed to Linghu Lan, with Yingying following behind. The procession was extremely grand, with a strange sense of ritual about it.
Linghu Lan watched all this with a cold eye, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite put into words. The old women's attitude towards the bondage didn't seem to have any malice; on the contrary, they were extremely eager.
She had figured out who these people were.
She lay limp on the bed, her internal energy completely depleted. She glanced at the doorway and then closed her eyes to rest.
With such a grand spectacle, what's meant to happen will happen.
When she opened her eyes again, there was already a person standing in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside with his back to Linghu Lan. This skill of opening the window and entering the house was superb. Linghu Lan couldn't help but be silent. Sure enough, there are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens. In every world, there are some people who seem to have cheat codes.
The man, dressed in a black robe, stood there silently, yet exuded an aura of dignified composure.
"You are a martial arts prodigy that I have only seen once in a century. It would be a pity to kill you today."
Linghu Lan looked at him with a cold gaze, and there was nothing to regret.
She has now become the leader of the martial arts alliance, and there is no one in the world with a higher position than the leader of the martial arts alliance. She taught those people at the last martial arts conference a lesson, and it is likely that no one in the martial arts world will dare to speak ill of her anymore. Lin Ying's wish can be considered fulfilled.
Moreover, if she is killed, Fuxin will immediately die with her.
The wife follows the husband's lead, and they are willing to live and die together, so it doesn't matter.
However, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, people will try their best to live. Linghu Lan was no exception. Compared to being killed, she preferred to die of old age or illness, which were normal ways of dying.
The man turned around, glanced at Linghu Lan, and flicked out a wisp of wind. Linghu Lan felt a clear sensation in her throat, coughed, and seemed to be able to speak again.
She said weakly, "I am delighted that Your Majesty has graced us with your presence. I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."
She couldn't say that she gained nothing during her time traveling the martial arts world.
At least, I've heard a lot of rumors about the King of Joy. He's said to be a master of martial arts but also a ruthless killer. He doesn't follow the righteous or demonic paths, but instead opens his own Joy Valley to entertain guests. People from all walks of life can enter the valley to have fun. He doesn't seem to do any business, yet he has a constant flow of gold and silver. Some even speculate that there's a gold mine underground in Joy Valley, which is why the King of Joy has no worries about gold and silver and can afford such a grand lifestyle.
He makes friends regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic, only caring whether they meet his standards. If they don't meet his standards, he won't even care if they are the leader of the martial arts alliance. If they do meet his standards, what does it matter if you are a petty thief?
Neither the righteous nor the demonic paths in the martial arts world wanted to provoke him. Over the years, his Happy Valley had flourished and prospered, attracting many heroes from the martial arts world and gradually establishing its own set of rules.
In short, he is a character who is both righteous and evil.
