Shi Sheng naturally didn't know about Qin Langyue's situation. She was also in a lot of trouble right now.
People from the mainland knew that she had returned to the city, but they still didn't give up and wanted to snatch the Rainbow Lotus.
Four Corner City couldn't be locked up forever, so every once in a while, people would come looking for death.
"For you." Bu Jingyun, dressed in red again, passed the box containing the Rainbow Lotus to her.
"Why are you giving it to me?" She didn't need this Mary Sue.
"Since I'm giving it to you, take it."
Shi Sheng, "…" 'This is from me (bbb), okay?' Why are you giving it back to me now?
Bu Jingyun snorted, then placed the box beside Shi Sheng and turned to leave.
Shi Sheng's mouth twitched. This guy is getting more and more arrogant.
Why didn't I have the black eagle scratch him to death back then?
Shi Sheng glanced at the Rainbow Lotus, his eyes curving into a sinister smile.
Don't you want the Rainbow Lotus?
I'll give it to you.
… …
Four Corner City had been very busy recently. What was their strange City Lord playing at? She was actually inviting all the major powers of the mainland to a banquet.
Putting aside whether or not those people would come, just based on the fact that Four Corner City had locked those people outside last time, if they really came, wouldn't they use their power to avenge private grudges and settle the score together?
They couldn't understand their City Lord's train of thought at all.
Even Bu Jingyun couldn't figure it out, let alone these commoners.
Why did she provoke these people again for no reason?
Then, Bu Jingyun saw the invitation she had sent out.
Aside from the names of the invitees, there was only one line on the invitation:
If you want the Rainbow Lotus, come to Four Corner City.
He couldn't understand her train of thought at all.
Those who received the invitation didn't understand either, but the allure of the Rainbow Lotus made them willingly jump into it even though they knew it was a trap.
Everyone knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
After a few months, Four Corner City was once again bustling with activity.
The streets and alleys were packed with people. It was very crowded, and fights were happening every minute.
Qin Langyue was wrapped in a black robe, her figure slightly bloated. She entered the city with Zhong Shiyi, her face covered by a black veil filled with twisted hatred.
"Don't worry, you'll recover once we get the Rainbow Lotus." Zhong Shiyi patted Qin Langyue's shoulder in consolation.
"Thank you, Mentor," Qin Langyue replied in a low voice.
Zhong Shiyi sighed. The disciple he thought highly of had actually ended up like this.
Qin Langyue's gaze fell on her slightly swollen belly, her eyes filled with malevolent hatred.
If Zhong Shiyi had not said that she could not abort the child, she really wanted to abort it.
She didn't know if she was pregnant with the Snake King's or the Wolf King's, but no matter which one it was, it was humiliating. She had even become like this because of this humiliation.
How could they not hate him?
Fortunately, she still had a chance.
As long as she obtained the Rainbow Lotus, she would be able to regain her youth and beauty.
"The City Lord is coming …" A commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd, pushing Qin Langyue to the side. If it weren't for Zhong Shiyi reaching out to support her, she would have been knocked to the ground.
The crowd parted to form a path for the purple-robed girl and the red-robed man to enter from the city gates. What a perfect couple!
When Qin Langyue saw Shi Sheng, a thick murderous aura surged from her body. Fortunately, there were many people in the city who wanted to kill Shi Sheng, so her murderous aura didn't seem that obvious.
Zhong Shiyi pulled Qin Langyue back and shook his head slightly, telling her not to be rash.
Qin Langyue took a deep breath.
'Shen Yaoguang, I'll let you live a little longer.'
Her gaze fell on the man walking side by side with Shi Sheng, and her pupils constricted.
'It's him.
The man who owns the Medicine King's Cauldron. '
… …
On the day stated on the invitation, everyone arrived early and took their own seats.
The most conspicuous ones were Qin Langyue, who was wrapped in a black robe, and a masked man.
The man had a powerful aura around him, and his gaze was sharp. The area around him was empty, with not a single person in sight.
This was a square building, and everyone was gathered at the bottom. Shi Sheng appeared on the second floor with a box in his arms. He greeted everyone with a satisfied expression, "Hi, long time no see."
There was a strange silence below.
The first to break the silence was a tall man with a full beard. "Shen Yaoguang, what kind of tricks are you playing?"
His voice was rough, and the entire building seemed to tremble.
Shi Sheng leaned against the railing on the second floor and looked at the bearded man with a calm gaze. "I'm still the lord of a city. What do you think you're doing by calling me 'Shen Yaoguang'?"
"I'm already giving you face by calling you 'Shen Yaoguang'. Do you know what the people outside call you?" The bearded man was instantly enraged.
A thin man beside him immediately pulled him back, shrewdness written all over his face.
Monkey spirit was the best word to describe him.
He comforted the bearded man with a few words, then cupped his hands and nodded at Shi Sheng. "City Lord Shen, please don't bicker with a boor like him. We were invited here by you, so you're the host and we're guests. Please bear with us."
"So you're saying that I can't talk back when he insults me, and I can't fight back when he hits me?" Shi Sheng raised his brows.
'So what if I'm the host?
Did I force them to come here? '
The monkey spirit was at a loss for words. That wasn't what he meant …
"City Lord Shen, let's not beat around the bush. We're all here for the rainbow lotus. What do you think we should do in order for you to give it to us? Auction it off or what?"
Someone couldn't wait any longer and asked.
Shi Sheng placed the box on the railing. Everyone's eyes were glued to the box in Shi Sheng's hands.
The atmosphere in the entire place became tense, and there was an undercurrent in the air.
Shi Sheng opened the box, and a majestic spiritual energy poured out, making everyone feel comfortable.
The greedy and covetous gazes became blatant, so hot that it seemed like they could set the air on fire.
The people below were getting restless.
"I called you guys here …" Shi Sheng dragged out his words, then took out the rainbow lotus. When he left the box, the rainbow lotus' color dimmed a bit.
"Don't take it out," someone immediately shouted. "It'll lose its effect if you take it out."
Half of the rainbow lotus was in the box, while the other half was exposed to the air. Shi Sheng glanced at the man, then continued slowly, "I called you guys here to watch the destruction of the rainbow lotus, so you won't keep thinking about me."
'What?'
Everyone's eyes widened. They didn't seem to understand what he was saying. 'Was he speaking human language?
Watch the destruction of the rainbow lotus? '
Then, they watched as Shi Sheng took out the entire rainbow lotus and exposed it to the air.
"Shen Yaoguang!" Qin Langyue's shrill roar pulled everyone back to reality. They all used their spiritual energy and leapt into the air, trying to snatch the rainbow lotus.
However, Shi Sheng wasn't afraid at all. He stood there calmly with a mocking smile on his face.
Just as those people touched the second floor, they suddenly fell down like dumplings.
Following that, a large number of people collapsed. Those who were barely able to stand were also powerless and did not dare to move.
"Don't waste your energy. You've been poisoned the moment you stepped in here." When the people below heard this, they immediately tried to use their spiritual energy to force the poison out. "Friendly reminder, you'll die faster if you use your spiritual energy."
