"When City Lord Ling Xiao comes, he will definitely not let you guys mess around like this!"
While speaking, Lin Qian's eyes became dazzling, and a domineering figure appeared in her mind. Her mood was actually much better.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Little girl, did you take a fancy to that young hero? But I heard that although this person is really powerful, being able to repel more than a million troops of the Black Crow Empire at such a young age, he is very cruel and ruthless.
However, this person is extremely cruel and cold. If he comes, he might not even be as good as the East County Marquis. Stop dreaming. "
"It can't be. I've heard many people say that Ling Xiao is the Dragon King of the Heavens, and he's a human. He even saved many people who were enslaved in the Imperial City. He must be a good person, and a strong one at that."
Lin Qian shook her head.
Even though she had never seen Ling Xiao before, for a human to be able to be conferred the title of King and Minister of Divine Phoenix Empire, and to not forget about those of his kind who had fallen on hard times, just these two points alone were enough to make him an idol in her heart.
She didn't like the young hero who she had only seen a few portraits of. To be more precise, it should be admiration, admiration, and yearning.
Only when such a person came to the East County could he change the current chaotic situation of the East County and let all the suffering humans regain their freedom.
"Hahaha."
The guard suddenly laughed disdainfully and said, "Idiot! Idiot! So what if Ling Xiao is the Dragon King of the Heavens? Didn't the governor of the East County come in the past? There was a very tough guy, but the next day, he was found to have fallen into the river to feed the fish.
I have also heard of that Ling Xiao. At such a young age, his cultivation has reached the early stage of the Six Arts, but compared to our East County Marquis, he is far inferior. Our East County Marquis has the cultivation of the first Grotto-Heaven Realm!
Besides, our East County Marquis is a real relative of the royal family. If it wasn't for the Dark Phoenix Clan's patriarch making a mistake, our East County Marquis wouldn't have been sent to this broken place. He might even have become the crown prince.
And even if the Dark Phoenix Clan was deprived of the opportunity to run for Emperor, they were still the royal family!
He was just a small prince with a different surname, so what?!
Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I say, little girl, if you can be the woman of the East Commandery Marquis, even if you are just a plaything in bed, you will have a chance to enter Turtle Island. You will also have endless cultivation resources in the future. "
Lin Qian's brow creased as she said, "I want to go to Turtle Island but I definitely won't do that kind of thing. If you like it, you can go."
"Nonsense. If I were a woman, I would definitely be the first to throw myself into the arms of the East County Marquis. How could a little girl like you have a chance?"
The guard flew into a rage out of shame.
"What are you talking about? You can't be so rude to a beauty. You have to know how to cherish her!"
Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a smile that was not a smile sounded.
A youth flew down from Turtle Island.
This person was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was dressed in colorful clothes and had a big red flower on his head. It was as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know that he was a prodigal son.
"Young Duke!"
The guard hurriedly turned around and cupped his hands.
Pa!
The young marquis gave the guard a slap and said, "How many times have I told you that you should treat beautiful women like beautiful porcelain. You should treat them gently. How can you be so rude?"
This Young Duke was the only son of the East County Marquis — Ming Liu.
Ever since the Dark Phoenix Clan committed a crime, many people had changed their surnames.
Some had the surname Ming, some had the surname Huang, and some had other surnames. The East County Marquis' family had changed their surname to Ming. This was the most popular surname in the Dark Phoenix Clan.
Ming Liu was the absolute favorite son of the East County Marquis.
Although this kid was a playboy and lazy, because he grew up soaking in various medicinal herbs, his cultivation was not weak.
At the age of twenty-four, he was at the early stage of the Eight Desolate Heaven Realm.
Although he was not as good as many geniuses, it was not bad. After all, many cultivators might not be able to break through to the Transcendent Realm in their lifetime, let alone the Celestial Realm.
After slapping his subordinate, Ming Liu looked at Lin Qian and said with a smile, "Beauty, my subordinate doesn't know how to speak, but he is right about one thing. Ling Xiao is nothing. At most, he is a pawn of others. He really thinks he is something. How can such a lowly human be compared to my father? He can't even be compared to this Young Master.
Otherwise, beauty, if you submit to this Young Master today, I guarantee that you can cultivate on Turtle Island for free in the future. "
Ming Liu's eyes were full of greed and lust at this time. He didn't take Ling Xiao seriously at all, let alone Li Qingnian.
The reason why he said this was just his usual attitude.
He liked to pretend!
He would only use force when he couldn't.
Lin Qian looked at Ming Liu and felt a little nauseous. A feeling of disgust kept surging from her heart.
The son of the East County Marquis, Ming Liu.
The dignified Young Duke. Although he did not lose to others in terms of martial arts or literary talent.
However, his character was a complete mess.
Some noble young masters had to pretend to be a gentleman on the surface, but they were thieves and prostitutes inside.
But this Young Master Ming Liu did not do that at all. His father was the king here. Other than his father, he was the most powerful here.
Ming Liu had known that Ling Xiao was coming because someone in the Imperial City had already informed the East Commandery Marquis of this matter. Naturally, he also knew.
The person who sent the letter warned them not to fight head-on with Ling Xiao because this young man was not easy to deal with.
He also reminded them several times to keep a low profile and give face to the new City Lord.
But the East Commandery Marquis and his son, who were used to being local tyrants, not only did they not care about these warnings and reminders, they took it as a kind of insult.
What a joke. The East Commandery was not big, but it was their home. What did a lowly human brat want to do?
How could they not teach him a lesson?!
When he heard Lin Qian mention Ling Xiao and praise Ling Xiao, he was already angry, but this guy wanted to use his power and influence to make Lin Qian change her words.
"I'm sorry, Young Duke. I'll go back and gather more Spirit Stones."
Lin Qian did not want to provoke this Young Duke, Ming Liu. She knew that she could not afford to offend him, so she chose to retreat.
"You can leave, but you have to answer a question first."
Ming Liu said with a smile.
Although he was smiling, there was a knife hidden in his smile. It seemed that as long as Lin Qian's answer did not satisfy him, he would destroy this woman in front of him.
"Please speak, Young Duke."
Lin Qian nodded.
"Tell me in front of so many people. Is I better, or is that lowly human Ling Xiao better?"
Ming Liu asked.
This was a question, but everyone knew that this Young Duke had already predetermined the answer.
Of course, Lin Qian also knew.
But she really could not go against her conscience and tell a lie that even she felt disgusted when she heard it.
