After the national banquet came to an end, when Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and the others walked out of Anyan Palace on the red carpet, it was already full of stars.
Not until Zhang Tie returned to his car did he let out a deep sigh.
In such a social occasion, Zhang Tie had been pretty fatigued to deal with those people who wanted to get acquainted with him constantly. Even though he fought demons on the battlefield, he couldn't be so tired.
Zhang Tie didn't remember how many waves of people he had dealt with in the national banquet. As a result, he was always surrounded by people from the beginning to the end.
Many people in the banquet didn't know that Zhang Tie and Cecilia had fought together in the Earth-elements Realm. However, after Zhang Tie invited Cecilia to dance with him on the dance floor, many people felt that they had figured out Zhang Tie's "hobby". In the end, more and more beautiful women appeared on Zhang Tie's side.
Countess, queen, princess, grand duchess, ambassador's wife and beautiful female knights and military officers made Zhang Tie a bit dizzy.
The more beautiful women surrounded Zhang Tie, the more people would think that Zhang Tie liked beauties and had a wide range of tastes.
On this occasion, even if Zhang Tie wanted to explain to others that he didn't have that kind of relationship with Cecilia, nobody would believe him. Through this national banquet, Zhang Tie estimated that his dissolute reputation would be spread over all the continents and subcontinents.
Zhang Tie felt a bit wronged.
"Who's the woman who stopped you and whispered to you on the edge of the fountain when you left the lobby of Anyan Palace? That vixen was so close to you. She purposefully pushed your arm with her breasts and rubbed her lips against your ear. When she left, she even licked your ear as if she couldn't wait to swallow you. I saw it all … "Bai Suxian sat on Zhang Tie's side as she hugged Zhang Tie's arm and grumbled in a coquettish way.
When Zhang Tie leaned against the car comfortably and watched the car start, he had not imagined that Bai Suxian and the others had surrounded him and started to "interrogate" him.
As there were too many women around Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian, Beverly and Fiona became a bit jealous.
"Who are you talking about? I don't remember …" Zhang Tie said helplessly as he rubbed his temples.
Zhang Tie really couldn't remember how many women had whispered to him in the party for over 2 hours. Although it was in Anyan Palace of Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie felt like being surrounded by a group of girls of Rose Association in Blackhot City.
"That's the one wearing a red open-necked gown with golden hair!" Fiona also pouted her lips, "That woman is so shameless. I saw that she came here with her husband arm in arm. How could she seduce you in the end …"
"Don't be silly, Fiona. I've seen that woman's arm. It's a pot-bellied old man. That old man has long been paying attention to Zhang Tie. It might be that woman's man who told her to seduce Zhang Tie …" Beverly said in a disdainful way.
"How could that be?"
"Nothing is impossible. For some men, a woman is nothing compared to what they could gain from Zhang Tie. In some countries, even if men and women got married, they would still have lovers. Even if their women brought their lovers back home, they would not mind at all. They might even go out for tea and give up their bathrooms and bedrooms to their lovers …" Zhang Tie recalled that there was indeed such a woman.
That woman's perfume was a bit special and full of temptation. The pair of white rabbits on her breasts were very magnificent as if they were going to jump out of her formal dress. Not until the cocktail party came to an end did that woman come to his front and chat with him for a short while. The point was that that woman was very daring when she flirted with him. "That woman might be the queen of Fehra Kingdom in Canaan Subcontinent. She even invited me to her villa in Xuanyuan Hill to have a cup of tea some other day …" Zhang Tie recalled that woman's perfume was a bit special and full of temptation.
Canaan Subcontinent was almost as large as Waii Subcontinent. It was in the south of Taixia Country across the ocean. However, Feira Kingdom was just a medium-sized country in this subcontinent which only had a few knight clans. Given such a background, the queen and the king of Feira Kingdom were destined to be trivial supporting roles and decorations on such an occasion. When Zhang Tie was surrounded by the representatives of some more powerful countries on the continent, the people of Feira Kingdom were not even qualified to approach him. Of course, they could only seize the opportunity to get acquainted with Zhang Tie when the party was about to end.
"Shameless …"
"Vixen!"
"What tea? I'm afraid that woman wants to drink your tea …"
All the women in the vehicle immediately complained in a coquettish manner. That woman was too straightforward and bold when she stopped Zhang Tie just now. Additionally, the process of her seducing Zhang Tie was witnessed by Bai Suxian, which aroused the public anger of Zhang Tie's women at once. As Zhang Tie's women, they might not mind that Zhang Tie was a playboy once in a while. Compared to other knights who had a lot of wives and concubines, Zhang Tie had fewer women. Additionally, Zhang Tie was not promiscuous in this aspect. However, they really minded that other women dared seduce Zhang Tie in front of them. As for women, it was an invasion to their territory.
"Don't be jealous. As a queen, for the sake of her country, family, social status and those things that she cares about, I'm afraid that she would grit her teeth and rush to the front no matter what!" Zhang Tie shook his head as he comforted those girls.
Zhang Tie didn't despise those women who tried their best to approach him and seduce him; instead, he sympathized with them. Because Zhang Tie knew what those women wanted and what kind of sacrifice they were going to make. In the final analysis, most of the women were just tools of men on such an occasion, no matter how brilliant they looked or how valuable their jewelry was. They were not even chess pieces.
"Are you going to taste the amorous feelings of these foreign beauties?" Bai Suxian whispered to Zhang Tie as she slightly rubbed her lips against Zhang Tie's ear and swirled the tip of her tongue like how those women flirted with Zhang Tie just now, causing Zhang Tie's ear a bit itchy, "It's said that wives are not as good as concubines; concubines are not as good as mistresses. Just now, so many women surrounded you. I think elder sister Yan could accompany you to such an occasion in the future. As long as elder sister Yan is on your side, nobody dares approach you …"
"What's there to be moved about? After attending this national banquet and returning the favor to His Majesty, I've almost left Xuanyuan Hill. I don't want to stay here anymore. After dealing with some affairs, let's go back to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory …" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
After hearing that Zhang Tie was going back to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, all the women in the vehicle cheered up.
No matter how nice Xuanyuan Hill was, it couldn't match Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory for these women. It was the happiest thing for Zhang Tie to return to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory.
Watching the excited looks of those women in the vehicle, Zhang Tie leaned his head against the back of the chair as he watched the roof of the vehicle. At the same time, he was thinking about what happened just now. Although it was a national banquet of Taixia Country, the real protagonist of this national banquet was Fiery Oil. The performance of Fiery Oil weapons in the Western Theater of Operations had aroused the interest of those countries being threatened by demons in the Western Continent and those subcontinents like travelers who saw a sweet spring in the desert. Therefore, they all charged at Fiery Oil without any scruples, regardless of their table manners …
Zhang Tie had predicted this; however, he had not imagined that the tide of Fiery Oil could be so fierce.
Over the past 2 years, Fiery Oil had not been fully spread across Taixia Country; however, after the battle at the bank of Weishui River, this tide had swept over the entire human world with his reputation in an irresistible way …
To be honest, Zhang Tie had not figured out how to make better use of this opportunity until now. As a result, he was a bit passive.
Not until then did Zhang Tie suddenly realize that he was always short of a strategist who could make detailed plans for him.
However, it was not easy to find such a person.
…
After returning to Qianji Manor, Zhang Tie got off the vehicle and returned to his study. After that, he talked with his elder brother and Elder Muyuan. Not until then did Zhang Tie know that Zhang Yang and Elder Muyuan experienced the same thing in the banquet just now. More foreign women approached Zhang Yang. By contrast, Elder Muyuan was surrounded by those chancellors and their family members. Those people asked Elder Muyuan about the marriage between Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang. Some family members of chancellors even proposed to marry Zhang Tie's kids …
Zhang Tie told Zhang Yang and Elder Muyuan about how Crown Prince Changying punished Fang Keyan and the agreement between him and Meng Shidao in front of the crown prince.
After hearing that the crown prince sentenced Fang Keyan to the remnant of Heavens Reaching Church for trial, Elder Muyuan just quivered his long eyebrows as he let out a deep sigh. After hearing that Meng Shidao promised that the Gobbling Party would not enter Northeast Military Region from now on, Elder Muyuan watched Zhang Tie in a daze as he dropped off tears at once.
"Since Lord Huaiyuan was forced to go to Waii Sub-continent by the Gobbling Party over the past 100 years, Huaiyuan Palace has always been in the shadow of the Gobbling Party. Even though we returned to Taixia Country, we had to tread on thin ice. The name Meng Shidao is like a mountain on Huaiyuan Palace. Today, Elder Mushen, you've kicked away the mountain for Huaiyuan Palace and stood on an equal footing with him. If Lord Huaiyuan knows that, he would also smile in the afterlife. From today on, the disciples of Huaiyuan Palace could finally hold our heads high and become more awe-inspiring; instead of being humiliated by the Gobbling Party. Please accept my bow, Mushen!" Elder Muyuan said as he stood up and bowed towards Zhang Tie heavily.
"No, no, Elder Muyuan, you're overpraising me!" Zhang Tie dared not accept Elder Muyuan's salute as he hurriedly helped Elder Muyuan up, "I'm the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace. As a descendant of Huaiyuan Palace, it's my responsibility to protect the forefathers of Huaiyuan Palace from being humiliated and make the disciples of Huaiyuan Palace admire me!"
"This is the first good news for Huaiyuan Palace over 100 years. I have to notice all the elders and clan head of Huaiyuan Palace right away!" After saying that, Elder Muyuan directly transmitted this "exciting" news through the remote-sensing communication ring on his finger.
…
Late at night, in the backroom of the Provincial Governor's Mansion in White Tiger Complex, Youzhou City …
The hidden spiritual wave in the remote-sensing finger ring made Zhang Taixuan who was cultivating with a piece of top-quality water-element crystal open his eyes at once. Elder Muyuan's message had been passed to him at once …
Lowering his head, Zhang Taixuan watched the remote-sensing crystal finger ring which represented the authority of the clan head. After a short while, he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
However, in less than 5 minutes, Zhang Taixuan's eyelids quivered for a short while as green veins bulged on his hand. His blood vessels started to throb as he looked grim in a split second. At the same time, the precious water-element crystal in his hand was shattered into pieces in Zhang Taixuan's grim hand.
The broken crystal pierced through Zhang Taixuan's palm, causing it to bleed. Zhang Taixuan opened his eyes once again as he threw a glance at his bloody palm indifferently. Closely after that, he let out a deep sigh and ended his cultivation. After that, he clenched his bleeding palm and walked out of the backroom.
Outside the secret room was a garden. The garden was completely silent. This was the Provincial Governor Manor's forbidden area. There was only the bright moon hanging in the sky, not a single cloud in ten thousand li. The moonlight was like water, spreading across the void, illuminating the great thousand, causing the stars in the sky to lose their color.
It was a beautiful night in Youzhou Province. Zhang Taixuan watched the sky with gloomy eyes and hands on his back as he muttered in a low voice that could only be heard by himself, "A 30-odd shadow knight, a divine dominator, killed a heavenly demon knight with a rod 9 times, conquered the head of Fantasy Women Palace, forced the Gobbling Party to leave Northeast Military Region, the protagonist of the national banquet in Taixia Country, fiery oil and all-purpose medicament. How could it be so boring? " Zhang Taixuan said as he put his palm covered with fine wounds and blood in front of his eyes, "I'm the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace. I should be the No. 1 person in Huaiyuan Palace. How could I be so boring in front of you as the clan head and the provincial governor …"
The injured hand was silent. The wounds on the hand were like bloody mouths on the face of a clown. They were laughing at something silently with a funny expression. Only the colorful thumb ring on the hand flashed a dim light under the moonlight.
Looking at the flickering light on the ring, Zhang Taixuan's eyes turned from gloomy to deep and unfathomable.
A black shadow had appeared behind Zhang Taixuan silently as it knelt down on the ground by one knee.
"How's that thing going?" Zhang Taixuan asked calmly without turning around.
"It's all in the hand of the lord. We could draw the net at any time …" The black shadow replied in a muffled voice.
"You can leave now. Don't take any action without my order …"
"Yes, lord!"
The black shadow flashed and disappeared in the garden.
Zhang Taixuan raised his head and threw another glance at the bright moon in the sky as his eyes became as icy as ice …
