Chapter 154: I can’t beat you, I can’t beat you at all
Yun Ling's simple words made Yuan Ziyun so angry that his face turned black.
Although Yun Ling was born a household slave, in some ways, his social status was higher than Yuan Ziyun's.
——Because he has a wife.
Yuan Ziyun is just an older male who has no female friends.
Over the years, he has been criticized by the elders around him for this matter.
They say he is not ambitious enough and can't even find a wife.
Yuan Ziyun always retorted, saying that he had admired the Saint Female for many years and would not marry anyone else, that's why he was unwilling to settle!
Anyone around him who heard this would laugh at him, saying that he was daydreaming and had wild ideas.
That was a saintly female that only appeared once in a thousand years. How could he possibly dream of her?
What's more, the Holy Female has already pledged her life to the Prince Situ Yu, and has promised to be together forever and not marry any other beastly husband.
This situation is extremely rare in the animal world, but it is also an enviable story.
Why doesn't Yuan Ziyun believe in evil and still keeps thinking about the Holy Female?
This matter therefore became a sore spot for Yuan Ziyun. If anyone mentioned it, it would be considered a provocation to him.
Yuan Ziyun's face was as stern as steel as a stone. "It's not your turn to comment on the impression I make on the Saint Queen!"
He raised his hand and ordered the guards behind him to take action, detain Sheng Ran and his group, and teach them a lesson.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the escort team looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward first.
They are not Yuan Ziyun, who has a close relationship with the Holy Female and is protected by the identity of the young master of the Yuan family.
The invitation letter in Sheng Ran's hand was dusty, and it was obvious that it was delivered by Yuan Ziyun himself, so it must be real.
If the problem cannot be found and the Saint's birthday party is delayed, the consequences will be much more serious than "taking revenge on personal grudges".
Everyone felt like they were being used as a tool by Yuan Ziyun, and their faces turned pale and blue.
If they really delayed the Saint Female's affairs, not only would they lose their jobs, they might even be beheaded!
What's more, the newly awakened sound ability of His Royal Highness the Prince of this deep-sea kingdom was too terrifying. They had never seen it before and had no combat experience.
The other beastly husbands are not easy to mess with either——
The young master of the Pei family was renowned for his strength; Ling Rui was still the dominant figure in all the major arenas in Central City; and the black bird bought by the Sheng family for over a decade possessed a natural tenth-level talent...
And that strange dragon beast.
The aura of the two superpowers makes people feel oppressive just by being close to them.
I can’t beat them. I can’t beat them at all.
"Go on! You're all crippled, one by one?" Yuan Ziyun turned around and looked at the bunch of losers he had raised, shouting angrily, "When did you dare to disobey me?"
One of the guards bravely stepped forward and said, "Boss, I think their invitation is indeed real. Would you like to check it again?"
Yuan Ziyun's eyes widened, "Hey—this is really outrageous!"
Not only were they present, but there were also some people who happened to be passing by and watching the fun.
He was indeed unreasonable, and he couldn't find any other reason to attack, so he could only swallow his anger.
"Consider...consider yourself lucky!" Yuan Ziyun gritted his teeth and yelled at the guards, "What are you still standing there for? Let them in!"
The guards quickly let them go. Yuan Ziyun glared at Sheng Ran and his group, then walked away dejectedly with his guards.
Ling Rui looked at his back and couldn't help laughing: "What a coward! I thought you were so powerful!"
Sheng Ran took off her veil, looked at everyone, her eyes full of smiles, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long and arduous journey with countless difficulties and dangers, we finally arrived.
It’s really not easy.
Pei Xiaoxing shook Sheng Ran's hand and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife. Let's go into the city, find an inn to stay in, and then plan our itinerary for the time being."
Sheng Ran nodded. That was true. She no longer had a home in the central city, and they had no better place to go except the inn.
As she entered the city gate, she pulled her veil closer and looked around cautiously.
Not only were there new guards, but the crowd at the city gate was also different from last time.
No one would be able to recognize her without a veil just now by her clothes or the beastly husband beside her.
Before meeting Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu, Sheng Ran thought she had to keep a low profile.
Whether it is her sudden change in appearance or her special abilities, they must be kept strictly hidden.
The group walked into the central city with their luggage.
Little did people know that although the flow of people at the city gate was indeed large, the stalls at the city gate were fixed.
Several stall owners gathered together, staring at Sheng Ran's back for a long time, trying to figure out some clues.
"They came here once not long ago, right? But they were questioned and kicked out."
"I also remember that this group of people were turned away a few hours ago because of impersonation or something!"
"So—this veiled, supposedly dull-witted second daughter of the Sheng family is the incredibly beautiful female beast from earlier?"
"Everyone says she's not only a loser, but also ugly! I don't think that's true!"
"She's beautiful, and her behavior isn't that unreasonable. What's more, the beastly husbands around her have been with her for so long, exiled to the end of the chapter, and they're still devoted to her. This shows that the Second Miss of the Sheng family is a good person!"
"Are you sure? I've seen her in person before, and she's exactly like the rumors say, ugly, stupid, and especially vicious. Could you be mistaken?"
"Yeah, how could there be such a big change in less than a year? You must be mistaken!"
"Impossible! Even if I've mistaken someone, I still know what the Pei family's young master looks like! They must be the group of people from before. This veiled second young lady of the Sheng family is the beautiful female from before!"
…
The city is more lively than Yuhua City, and the streets are lined with lanterns celebrating the birthday of the Saint.
The orcs coming and going were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Even the inns in the central city were so busy that they couldn't book any rooms.
Sheng Ran and her friends went to several stores before they finally found a place to stay.
There were many of them, and Sheng Ran was wealthy, so he booked the entire top floor.
After putting everything in place, Sheng Ran stood by the window and looked down, overlooking the bustling scene in front of her, but she couldn't feel happy.
This Hongmen Banquet hides unknown conspiracies and dangers, and she must put an end to it to prevent future troubles.
Sheng Ran couldn't help but clench her hands, and her eyes became firm.
The beastly husbands also noticed Sheng Ran's mood and reassured her.
"Don't worry, my dear wife, we are here and we will make sure nothing happens to you."
Sheng Ran took a deep breath and tried to speak: "Okay..."
She couldn't rely on the spiritual spring water, she had to find a way to stabilize her abilities and physical condition.
The beastly husbands looked at Sheng Ran in surprise and were happy for her small progress.
Then I felt a little sad.
No matter what the situation, the wife has always been strong.
Yun Ling calmly grabbed Sheng Ran's hand and loosened her clenched fist.
The birthday party is the day after tomorrow.
No matter what tricks the Saint plays, they will give their wife a happy birthday.
