Prince Rong's Residence
…
At this time, it was the middle of winter. Imperial War City has had several heavy snowfalls.
Two hours later, the two figures appeared in War Monarch City.
"Wow, what a big city! It's a hundred times bigger than our Dafeng City!" Yan Nan 'er's eyes lit up as she looked at the colorful world and the bustling streets.
Luo Zheng didn't reply. He was thinking about how to make arrangements for Yan Nan 'er. There were still 20 days before he would return to the Five Beast Army. Naturally, he couldn't bring her along then.
And during this period of time, Luo Zheng still had to work hard to refine artifacts to earn money. Bringing her along with him was also a big problem.
"Looks like I can only ask Little Moon to help me settle her down. With Princess Rongyue looking after her, it won't be easy for anything to happen. Otherwise, with this girl's personality, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause."
Luo Zheng glanced at Yan Nan 'er. In his heart, he completely regarded her as a troublesome little girl. He didn't realize that he was younger than her by a few years.
"Come with me. I'll bring you to settle down first. I'm going back to the camp, so I can't bring you along."
Luo Zheng looked at the excited Yan Nan 'er.
"What camp? Where do you want to take me? "Yan Nan 'er stared at Luo Zheng vigilantly.
"Don't worry. I won't sell you." Luo Zheng grabbed Yan Nan 'er's hand and left.
Yan Nan 'er struggled twice, but unfortunately, her strength was far inferior to Luo Zheng's. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow him.
Along the way, Luo Zheng brought Yan Nan 'er to the front of a huge mansion.
Prince Rong's residence.
In front of the huge mansion gate, eight white jade coiled dragon pillars soared into the sky, reaching a height of several hundred feet. The mansion gate was made of purple gold, and there were two huge black jade Qilins on the left and right of the gate, looking mighty and majestic.
"What do you want?"
Yan Nan 'er jumped in fright when she saw Luo Zheng pulling her towards King Rong's residence. Although she had never been to War Emperor City, she knew that this place was not a trivial place when she saw the guards in front of King Rong's residence.
"Who are you two? What brings you to our Prince Rong's residence? "
At this time, the guards in front of the gate had already seen Luo Zheng and Ye Xiwen. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they both had extraordinary temperaments. Moreover, their cultivation was strong. Thus, the guards didn't dare to be too rude and asked.
"We are looking for Princess Rongyue. Big Brother, please inform her."
Luo Zheng said.
"See the princess? Who are you people? Do you have any proof? "
The two guards asked.
"Oh no, the jade token that Little Moon gave me last time has been given to the people of Heavenly Fortune Pavilion."
Luo Zheng frowned. The last time he had met Rongyue at the Crane Immortal Market, she had given Luo Zheng a jade token. She had said that if he wanted to see her, he could take the jade token and go to Prince Rong's residence without any obstructions.
However, in order to help the Crane Immortal Market, Luo Zheng had given the jade token to the messenger when he asked Elder Jia to deliver the letter. Therefore, Luo Zheng naturally didn't have the token with him now.
"Princess Rongyue is of high status. Naturally, she can meet anyone she wants. If it isn't someone with a certain status or someone Rongyue is familiar with, these guards wouldn't dare to inform her."
With a thought, Luo Zheng took out a bottle of Blood Nourishing Pills from the Qiankun Gourd and walked forward. Without batting an eyelid, he stuffed the bottle into the hands of a guard and said, "Big Brother, please help me pass on a message. Just say that Luo Zheng wishes to see the princess."
"Luo Zheng? Just wait here. "
The guard accepted the Blood Nourishing Pills without batting an eyelid. He looked at Luo Zheng with a much gentler gaze and turned to go in.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the cry of a crane came from the sky. A white-clothed youth riding a majestic white crane descended from the sky.
This white crane was extremely mystical. The feathers on its long neck were fiery red, as if there were balls of fire burning on it. Its legs were slender and powerful. Its body was as tall as two people and its eyes were sharp. It actually had the aura of a human expert!
This white crane was clearly a Yao beast!
"It's you? What are you doing here? "
The white-clothed youth on the white crane had eyes like lightning. His eyebrows were sharp and straight, and his face was as handsome as jade. He jumped down from the back of the crane with a smug expression on his face.
However, it wasn't strange for anyone to be able to ride a Yao beast through the streets and fly in the sky.
The white-clothed youth's gaze swept over Luo Zheng and he immediately revealed a surprised expression. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Zhao Feng, that piece of trash. I purposely sent him a message last time to provoke him into dealing with this brat. Now, not only is this brat completely fine, his cultivation has even increased greatly and entered the Blood Tempering Realm. What's going on?"
The white-clothed youth was the Little White Crane Marquis, Bai Xingjian. He stared at Luo Zheng and thought angrily.
Last time, because of the incident with Mo Yiyun in the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, Bai Xingjian hated the blacksmith that Luo Zheng was impersonating. Later on, he sent Chief Steward Bai and three guards to kill him. In the end, these four people and the blacksmith all mysteriously disappeared, leaving Bai Xingjian unable to figure out what was going on.
This time, he had brought his spiritual pet, the Profound Flame Crane, with him for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to please Princess Rongyue, and secondly, he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Rong Hui about the blacksmith that Luo Zheng was impersonating.
Of course, Bai Xingjian did not know that Luo Zheng was the blacksmith that had ruined his plans and made him hate him to the core.
However, even if Bai Xingjian did not know that Luo Zheng was the blacksmith, he still wanted to kill Luo Zheng as soon as possible. Last time, when he learned that Luo Zheng was very close to Princess Rongyue and had even stayed in her carriage for a long time, he came up with a vicious plan. He sent someone to send a message to Zhao Feng, who was also in love with Princess Rongyue, wanting to kill Luo Zheng with a borrowed knife. However, he failed.
"This Bai Xingjian probably still doesn't know that the blacksmith he wants to kill is me, right? He should be even stronger than the Golden-horned Python. It's very likely that he's at the Solid Organs Realm. Right now, I'm still far from being his match, but he's much older than me. It won't be long before I surpass him. At that time, I'll have to settle the score with him properly! "
Luo Zheng sized up Bai Xingjian without batting an eyelid.
At this moment, Luo Zheng's cultivation and strength were completely different from when he was in the Crane Immortal Square. He was many times stronger. Last time, he couldn't even sense Bai Xingjian's cultivation, but now, he had a clear idea.
"Hehe, of course I'm here to see Princess Rongyue. Brother Bai, your spiritual crane is so beautiful. When it spreads its wings, it's at least twenty feet wide." Luo Zheng thought for a while, but he still smiled and asked.
At this moment, a sudden cry of a crane pierced through the clouds.
At the same time as the cry of the crane resounded, a fierce wind blew. The white crane spread its enormous wings and began to flap them, sending sand and pebbles flying.
Luo Zheng felt a shocking aura lock onto him. A chill ran down his spine and went straight to his head. He raised his head abruptly and saw that the giant crane was staring at him with eyes that wanted to devour him!
At this moment, Yan Nan 'er was standing right next to Luo Zheng. She was also affected by the white crane's aura. She was already trembling, her face pale, and she could barely stand.
"What's going on? Does Bai Xingjian dare to attack me in public? I'm definitely no match for this white crane! "
Luo Zheng shielded Yan Nan 'er behind him as he stared at the giant white crane that was about to lunge at him.
At this moment, Bai Xingjian also felt that something was strange. He had raised this spiritual pet for seven years, and it had only just broken through the Viscera Consolidation stage and became a Demonic Beast this year. It had always been very obedient. Why did it suddenly become so manic when it saw Luo Zheng today?
"So that's what's going on!"
After communicating with the Scarlet Flame Crane, Bai Xingjian looked at Luo Zheng. The Scarlet Flame Crane was saying that Luo Zheng had the scent of a powerful snake-type Demonic Beast.
Moreover, this type of snake was a rare tonic for the Scarlet Flame Crane.
As it turned out, after falling asleep last time, the little python had not woken up. It was too eye-catching when it was wrapped around his hand, so Luo Zheng hid it in his clothes. The Scarlet Flame Crane had smelled the scent of the little python.
Snakes and cranes had always been at odds with each other. Since ancient times, the snake clan and the crane clan had always been mortal enemies. Once they met, they would fight to the death.
Moreover, snakes were a great tonic for cranes. The little black python was originally a mutated species with the bloodline of a flood dragon. After eating three Yellow Dragon Fruits, the scent of the bloodline had become even stronger. It was no wonder that the Scarlet Flame Crane was so sensitive.
"What exactly does this Luo Zheng have on him? It can actually make the Scarlet Flame Crane evolve again? "
Bai Xingjian's eyes flickered as he calculated in his mind, constantly comforting the Scarlet Flame Crane.
After a Demonic Beast reached adulthood, it was extremely difficult for them to increase their strength and evolve again. This was because the Demonic Beast's body was far stronger than that of human cultivators. The resources required to increase their cultivation were often several times that of cultivators of the same level. Even with Bai Xingjian's status, it was still a headache for him.
Now that he knew that Luo Zheng had something that could make the Scarlet Flame Crane evolve, how could he let it go so easily?
"Little brother Luo Zheng and this young lady, there's no need to panic. The Scarlet Flame Crane has always stayed in the mansion and rarely comes out. This time, it has finally broken through the Body Refining Realm and become a Demonic Beast. So, it's inevitable that it's a bit agitated."
Bai Xingjian revealed a smile that was like a spring breeze. Looking at Luo Zheng and Yan Nan 'er, he was very elegant and had the demeanor of an elder brother.
"It really is a Demonic Beast. This is the first time I've seen one!"
Luo Zheng's face was full of shock, but he was sneering in his mind.
He had already seen the cold light that flashed in Bai Xingjian's eyes when he saw Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng knew that Bai Xingjian's current attitude was completely different from before. It was completely changed from arrogance to respect. Things were not as simple as they seemed.
Demonic Beasts were extremely intelligent. How could they be agitated for no reason? Moreover, Luo Zheng had clearly sensed that this Demonic Beast was extremely hostile towards him!
"With your humble background, it won't be easy for you to meet Princess Rongyue. How about this? I happen to have an appointment with the princess. Let me bring you in."
Bai Xingjian saw that Luo Zheng was staring at the Scarlet Flame Crane with an envious look and was secretly pleased. He wanted to take the opportunity to find out what Luo Zheng had that attracted the Scarlet Flame Crane, so he became more enthusiastic.
"There's no need for that …" Luo Zheng smiled indifferently and refused.
"Are you looking down on me?"
