With Su Ye in tow, Lu Xuan sped back to the Mayor's residence. Su Ye's complexion only improved when they left the Fish Dragons' compound and the stench of blood in the air dissipated.
While Lu Xuan was gone, Xia Cao and the other maids had cleaned up the backyard of the Mayor's residence. However, the hole in the roof of the kitchen had yet to be repaired.
Su Ye didn't cling to him like before. Instead, she lowered her head, looking a little reserved.
Lu Xuan sat beside her and pulled her into his arms. In a gentle voice, he said, "Were you scared? Sometimes, it's necessary to be ruthless. That's the only way to intimidate the weak. I don't want what happened before to happen again. "
Su Ye shook her head in Lu Xuan's arms. "No, I grew up in the Hundred Herb Hall. I've seen much of the world. It's just that … your status and strength far exceeded my expectations. I thought you were just a genius from some great family. I didn't think I'd underestimated you. "
Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. He rubbed his chin against the top of Su Ye's head. "What, you don't like my status?"
Su Ye blushed. "How could I … I … I was afraid that you wouldn't like me. I was also afraid that the Alliance Leader wouldn't think we were a good match."
Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled. "How could that be? Father and the others would be overjoyed to have such a virtuous and capable daughter-in-law like you. As for me, if what you said was true, I wouldn't have come back."
"But you're the Young Alliance Leader. You're destined to rule the Alliance in the future. I'm just the heir to the Hundred Herb Hall. What right do I have to be your wife?" Su Ye sounded wronged. The concept of a well-matched match was ingrained in everyone's heart.
"But you're my wife now. You're the first." Lu Xuan's eyes widened as he looked at Su Ye helplessly. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, we're only husband and wife now. It's just a little bit more."
Hearing that, Su Ye's face turned red, and the redness gradually spread to her ears. She then collapsed into Lu Xuan's arms, completely drained of energy. That was because as Lu Xuan spoke, his right hand had already quietly reached into Su Ye's clothes. He tore apart the layers of restraints from the inside out, moving from the bottom to the top, slowly invading her.
Su Ye's breathing became erratic. Her red lips parted slightly as she panted softly. She reached out to press down on Lu Xuan's hand, but she did not use any strength at all. Instead, it was as if she was guiding Lu Xuan's hand to climb up, as if she was trying to resist and welcome him at the same time.
She tried. Finally, Lu Lu of Su Xuan's last line of defense. Lu Xuan's hand. Lu Xuan of Ye of his. There was no way Su Ye, who had yet to experience the ways of the world, could withstand Lu Xuan's teasing. When Lu Xuan's fingers slid across the cherry, Su Ye could no longer hold back and took the initiative to kiss him.
Lu Xuan lowered his head. Their red lips touched. His breathing became heavy as he slowly pushed Su Ye down. Su Ye naturally kicked off her shoes and lay on the bed. She looked at Lu Xuan with a blushing face. Her eyes were filled with flirtatiousness.
Su Ye was the first woman Lu Xuan had ever married. Whether it was the Prince of Peace, Lu Xuan, or the Young Alliance Master, Lu Xuan, they were both Lu Xuan. However, up until now, no one had ever married Lu Xuan.
The Su Ye of today did not have any hesitation or nervousness. She only had anticipation and satisfaction. She had waited for this day for a long time. She did not expect it to come so suddenly. To her, this was a pleasant surprise.
Lu Xuan had taken off Su Ye's clothes at some point in time as they continued their lovemaking. Her smooth, fair, and tender body, which was as smooth as white jade, was revealed just like that. Su Ye, who was born in the Hundred Herb Hall, had been nurtured by Su Hexuan with all sorts of heavenly treasures since she was a child. In addition, she rarely practiced martial arts. Her skin was tender and lustrous. Among all of Lu Xuan's women, there was no doubt that she was the best.
The curtains were lowered. Lu Xuan could vaguely see Lu Xuan bending down. He lowered his head and kissed every part of Su Ye's body. Su Ye was completely released, both mentally and physically.
After the gentle breeze and drizzle, came the violent storm. Lu Xuan's ability had been verified by Zhao Binger, Xia Chenxi, and the others. Naturally, he would not disappoint Su Ye. Again and again, he was thrown into the sky. It was as if he was in the clouds. All the pores on his body opened up …
The matter of the Fish-dragon Gang quickly set off a huge uproar. Even the news that the Fish-dragon Gang was backed by Bei Bo Ruo also spread. One incident after another was revealed. Lu Xuan's decisiveness and strength shocked everyone.
The Fish-dragon Gang tried to poison the Princess of An Ping, but was seen through by the Prince of An Ping, Lu Xuan. The former Third Venerable Bei Bo Ruo, the current leader of the Fish-dragon Gang, Xiang Wei, was executed. All the members of the Fish-dragon Gang who participated in the Gang Ceremony were killed. The first person to surrender to the Fish-dragon Gang, the Scarlet Flame Valley Master Huangfu Shan, was killed on the spot. All the martial artists who signed the Fish-dragon Gang's name list were exiled to the army for three years …
Every incident was enough to shock people, not to mention that everything happened at the same time. Anyone in the city with a little bit of information already knew about this matter.
Many people commented on this matter. Some people thought that Lu Xuan was too ruthless, while others thought that Lu Xuan was very decisive. He eliminated the danger in the cradle, and all of Bei Bo Ruo's people deserved to die.
However, most people were shocked by the sudden appearance of the Prince of An Ping, Lu Xuan, and the strength he displayed.
Bei Bo Ruo's Xiang Wei was not a nobody. It was evident that he could occupy the position of the Third Venerable. According to the people present, Xiang Wei was not killed after a fight with Lu Xuan, but was killed in one move. This was terrifying.
If it was said by an ordinary person, people might think that it was an exaggeration. However, the person who said this was Senior Lu Qihong, who was recognized by everyone as a person of virtue and prestige. His words were naturally convincing.
This was also because Lu Qihong was not sure of Lu Xuan's thoughts, so he did not leak the news that Lu Xuan was the young leader of the Jiuhua Alliance. Otherwise, it would not only cause an uproar, but the entire Dongtai City would also be in an uproar.
In just one afternoon, the news of the Prince of An Ping's appearance and the massacre of the Fish-dragon Gang spread throughout Dongtai City. However, before the news could settle down, the City Lord's Mansion issued a notice that all members of the Fish-dragon Gang were wanted in the city. Those who reported it would be rewarded, and those who captured it would be meritorious!
As soon as this news came out, Dongtai City became even more chaotic. Some members who had just joined the Fish-dragon Gang hurriedly destroyed everything related to the Fish-dragon Gang, for fear that others would find out. Most of these people were peripheral members. Seeing that the Fish-dragon Gang was powerful, they wanted to cling to it. If they knew that the Fish-dragon Gang was founded by Bei Bo Ruo, they would probably avoid it as soon as possible. Compared to the Nine Dragons Empire, which was at its peak, the advantage was obvious at a glance.
Naturally, the news of the Fish-dragon Gang's members being wanted was not released by Lu Xuan, but by Long Ming. As a subordinate, it was his duty to figure out his superior's intentions and share his burdens.
The appearance of the Prince of An Ping was definitely a huge matter for Dongtai City. Su Ye had always been in charge of the city affairs, and coupled with the leniency of the policies, although many people were respectful on the surface, they might not really take the City Lord seriously.
However, Lu Xuan was different. Not only was he the real City Lord, but he was also the Emperor's favorite. In addition to his outstanding strength, he uprooted the entire Fish-dragon Gang with a single move. Who dared to look down on him?
Before the evening, the City Lord's Mansion welcomed the first group of visitors. The leader was the President of the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, Ding Sai, and behind her were the leaders of various chambers of commerce.
During the Fish-dragon Gang's grand ceremony, if it wasn't for Lu Xuan, they would probably not have had an easy time. Under Xiang Wei's coercion, they might have to temporarily join the Fish-dragon Gang. At that time, they would be viewed as enemies by the Nine Dragons Empire. The entire Central Prefecture's trade route would be cut in half, and they might even be boycotted by the entire Central Prefecture.
The one who came out to receive Ding Sai and the others was Long Ming. Everyone knew where the City Lord and his wife were, but no one would go to the backyard to disturb them.
What did the Chamber of Commerce lack the least? Money.
Since Ding Sai and the others came to visit and express their gratitude, how could they not receive gifts? All sorts of treasures, spirit stones, and elixirs were carried into the City Lord's Mansion. Long Ming glanced around and saw that there were no less than thirty porters carrying gifts.
However, since Lu Xuan didn't say anything, Long Ming couldn't decide whether to accept the gifts or not. Fortunately, just as he was in a dilemma, a voice transmission reached his ears.
He immediately smiled and cupped his hands at Ding Sai, saying, "President Ding is too polite. The City Lord has ordered me to stay for a while. The City Lord's Mansion will host a banquet later. It won't be too late to leave after the banquet."
Ding Sai was flattered. She knew who Lu Xuan was. A banquet hosted by the Nine Eastern Alliance's Young Lord was something that many people could only dream of.
But then Long Ming said, "However, the banquet has limited seats. I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate so many guests. President Ding, please choose five representatives."
Ding Sai was pleasantly surprised. The City Lord's Mansion was clearly doing her a favor by letting her choose the representatives. All Chambers of Commerce were not united, and there were differences between close and distant ones. Without a doubt, this was a good opportunity for Ding Sai to win people over.
Soon, Ding Sai selected five representatives. As for the others, they were naturally asked to leave by Long Ming. Not everyone was qualified to enjoy a banquet hosted by the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention that the City Lord was Lu Xuan. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to create a stable base for Su Ye, Lu Xuan wouldn't have made such an unnecessary move.
Just as Ding Sai and the others were invited to rest in the side hall, the second wave of visiting martial artists arrived. This time, it was the martial artists led by Lu Qihong. Naturally, everyone prepared gifts. Long Ming followed Lu Xuan's instructions and accepted all the gifts. At the same time, he asked Lu Qihong to choose a few representatives with both strength and prestige to stay.
After learning that the Prince of Peace was hosting a banquet today, some of the families that had taken root in Dongtai City couldn't sit still. They all came to visit, hoping to obtain a seat.
These days, Long Ming had already memorized the strength of Dongtai City. He was more than enough to deal with these people. Those who weren't strong enough were dismissed with a few words. Those who were strong enough were naturally qualified to attend the banquet. As for gifts, he didn't refuse any. Although Lu Xuan didn't think much of it, the City Lord's Mansion was of great use.
