However, Miao Yi clearly accepted everyone's apology. With a gratified look on his face, he picked up his wine cup and raised it to the crowd. "Let's turn hostility into friendship!"
Both the host and the guest drank and revealed their empty cups, smiling knowingly.
"How can there be no singing and dancing to liven things up?!" Miao Yi looked around with his wine cup in hand, seemingly in high spirits.
Xu Tangran immediately clapped his hands, and the sound of drums began to play.
Amidst the flowers, the door to the loft opened, and a beautiful figure gracefully fluttered her sleeves like a white cloud as she floated out. Like a fairy walking on the waves, she slowly descended from the sky and landed in the middle of the empty space where the banquet was held. She lifted her sleeves to cover half of her face as she turned around and smiled at Miao Yi. All the flowers in the garden instantly paled in comparison, and her beauty blossomed in that instant, stirring the hearts of the crowd. It was truly an indescribable charm. This was Xue Linglong, the top beauty of the Heaven Fragrant Restaurant.
As the drums played, a white dress danced and sang, attracting everyone's attention. Xu Tangran even leaned forward, as though he couldn't wait to see Xue Linglong in his eyes.
Bao Lian, who was serving wine by the table, smirked when he saw Miao Yi staring at Xue Linglong. He stepped forward to block Miao Yi's line of sight and poured him a cup of wine.
Miao Yi looked to his left and right, but Bao Lian was a little slow this time. Finally, he was able to divert his attention away from Xue Linglong.
A beautiful scene, a beautiful song, a beautiful dance, fine wine, and delicious food. At the banquet that night, both the host and the guests were enjoying themselves, at least on the surface …
After the banquet was over, the innkeepers left the City Guard Palace in a relaxed manner. None of the things they were worried about had happened, and they left safely.
The musicians and geishas of the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel also gathered in the garden, and Miao Yi received them.
In fact, Miao Yi had met most of the people from the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel before. He had met them long ago, but the people from the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel who sought wealth and safety were still messing around in the brothel. On the other hand, Miao Yi, who had risked his life time and time again, was no longer the brat who always came to the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel for tea.
"Grand Commander, was Xue Linglong's performance today to Milord's satisfaction?" Madam Xu moved closer to Miao Yi and asked with a smile, her eyes darting around.
Miao Yi gave her a sidelong glance. He wasn't sure if he was imagining things, but he felt as if Mama Xu's smile today was a little ambiguous. He nodded and said, "I'm satisfied. Everyone, you've worked hard! Reward him! "
Bao Lian took out a storage ring and presented it to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu accepted the ring and called out to the people of the Sky Fragrance Building. "Thank you, Commander."
Mrs. Xu put away the storage bracelet calmly and continued, "You and Ling Long are old friends. If you like Ling Long's singing and dancing, you can tell me if you want to see it someday. I'll ask Ling Long to perform for you. If you haven't had enough fun today, you can ask Ling Long to continue."
Behind him, Xue Linglong slightly lowered her head, looking a little shy.
In Bao Lian's eyes, however, he cursed under his breath. Why was he pretending to be pure when he was out to sell himself?
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "I appreciate Madam Xu's kindness. It's late now. Let's do it another day." He waved his hand and said, "Send the guests out!"
As a matter of fact, Miao Yi was indeed tempted by Xue Linglong's beauty today. He was a little restless, but he couldn't do what Xu Tangran did.
As soon as he returned to the harem, he immediately took out Star Bell and sent a message to Ji Meili, "Come to the City Guard Palace tonight and keep me company!"
As the group of shopkeepers left the City Guard Palace, Wu Hanshan led a few people straight to the Chamber of Commerce. The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce in the other districts were already waiting for their news.
Before they could take a seat, President Zhou Ran, who was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, suddenly stopped and asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Hanshan laughed heartily as he took his seat. "Everything is fine. Nothing happened. The food and wine are excellent. The songs and dances are great. The host's attitude is even better! Niu Youde didn't mention a word about the Chamber of Commerce's current situation. We were just overthinking things this time. Guess what's going on with this banquet? Niu Youde originally wanted to treat us as a group, but he was worried that we would overthink things. So he decided to treat us one by one in each of the four districts. This way, we won't have to worry about him setting us up. He said that we'll treat the eastern district today, and the western district another day. We won't have to worry about anything. We can be sure that he really wants to bury the hatchet with us. Talking about traps and conspiracies is all unnecessary. "
Everyone who had been waiting for the news for half the night looked at each other. So this was what they couldn't figure out for the past few days. Commander Niu was worried that they would overthink things. In the end, it only made them think more. No wonder. They finally found the answer.
Hu Yuyuan, who still reeked of alcohol, chuckled and said, "After all this trouble, he didn't hesitate to lower himself to treat us one by one. Niu Youde really did put in a lot of effort. I can tell that he really does want to reconcile with us!"
Vice President Wu Conggong clicked his tongue. "And I was worried that he was a hothead. It looks like he's not an idiot after all. He knows that he can't win."
'Huang Fujun?' Y was silent. She also hoped that Miao Yi would know his place. However, with him lowering his head, and everyone's disdainful words, she didn't know what to feel.
"I don't think so!" Manager Tian Fenghao snorted and said, "Maybe that guy wants us to let our guard down so he can catch us all in one fell swoop."
He said this out of anger. Everyone laughed. Of course, they also knew that he said it out of anger. They probably knew that the lady from the Tian Mao Star Lord's family had given Tian Fenghao a lot of pressure. Now that the stalemate had been broken, Tian Fenghao could not charge into the City-Guarding Palace alone. It would be difficult to explain to the mistress later.
Wu Hanshan jokingly said, "He's taking turns to treat the four districts. Why don't you tell me how he's going to catch us all in one fell swoop?"
Tian Fenghao curled his lips. He had no reason to refute.
Wu Cong Gong stood up, "Since he's willing to take turns, then let him do it. It'll also let those big and small shops see who's the boss on this Sky Street, so that no one will have any evil thoughts."
Zhou Ran clasped his hands behind his back and nodded. "That's right! Since Niu Youde is willing to lower his head, the hopes of those small shops will be dashed. As long as we control the rules of the game and prevent those small shops from competing with us for business, we can continue to monopolize the good business. We won't have to worry about not making money. When we return to the Master's side to settle the bill, we'll be able to explain ourselves. "
Inside Miao Yi's sleeping quarters in the Guardian Palace, Ji Meili, who was used to having her hair draped over her shoulders, stood facing Miao Yi.
Ji Meili didn't know if she was asking the obvious. She asked, "Why did you call me here so late at night?"
Miao Yi tilted his head and looked at the bed beside him. He smiled and said, "You're my concubine. Why else would I call you here so late at night?"
Ji Meili secretly gritted her teeth. On the surface, she said calmly, "In other words, you're willing to tell me where the Unparalleled Demonic Art of the Earth Division came from?"
This time, Miao Yi didn't back down. His calm tone hid a hint of unquestionable authority. "I don't think our relationship can be used as a transaction. You are my woman. Who can deny that? Including you! You can't deny it either! "He reached out and lifted Ji Meili's chin.
Ji Meili wanted to say something but stopped herself. But this time, she didn't say anything. She just stood there without moving and looked at him quietly.
Miao Yi's hand slid down from her chin to her neck, and then into her collar. Suddenly, Ji Meili's body trembled slightly.
Soon, the long dress????? — fell at Ji Meili's feet one by one. A pair of breathtakingly slender, snow-white legs were exposed to the air.
The long legs left the ground. Instead of flying, Miao Yi lifted her graceful, naked body up into his arms. In the end, both of them fell onto the bed.
The door welcomed an unwelcome guest, and the red flowers smiled at the spring breeze.
A night of ecstasy. It was different from the others. It was a different feeling indeed. Miao Yi left Ji Meili, who didn't know how to face him after the incident, in the Guardian Palace and hid her for three days …
A few months later, Ji Meili entered the palace again. Miao Yi missed her long, slender legs again, and that other feeling. But it seemed like she couldn't get used to the intimate life with Miao Yi. She didn't know the reason either. Maybe it was because she was a Yao cultivator, or maybe it was because Ji Huan had always maintained a pure bloodline. Ji Huan was very strict with her children in this regard. It was evident from Ji Meili's fate.
But Ji Huan suddenly said that she was going to marry her off, and she was going to marry a human as a concubine. She could understand her father's decision to sacrifice her. Perhaps the reason she couldn't get used to the relationship between them was because of Ji Meili. Miao Yi had killed her own sister, but she was still enjoying herself under Miao Yi's crotch. Even though the deed was already done and she had truly become Miao Yi's woman, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. Every time she saw Miao Yi, she would feel a sense of guilt.
Part of the guilt was because of Ji Meili, and the other part was because her father, Ji Huan, had betrayed her man and almost killed Miao Yi. She really didn't know how to face Miao Yi, and she didn't know how Miao Yi saw her.
Inside the loft, Ji Meili was kneeling on the ground. She personally brewed tea with a small fire in the clay stove. Every now and then, she would stroke the hair hanging by her ear. Her expression was calm, and she would occasionally tilt her head to look at the man outside the door. She didn't know what he was thinking about.
It was drizzling, and the exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard of the rear palace were washed away by the rain. They were moist and looked fresh and beautiful.
Outside the loft, Miao Yi leaned against the railing and looked up at the haze that shrouded the entire sky of Heaven's Street. He extended his hand to welcome the cool rain.
He had already received news that Madam Biyue had entered the purgatory to participate in the assessment.
Miao Yi was waiting for another piece of news — news from the purgatory.
At this moment, Madam Biyue was still in a state of shock. She had finally witnessed the horrors of the purgatory. It was ten thousand times more terrifying than the legends said. Her hair was disheveled, and she was battered and exhausted. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't even have a mount. She was desperately fleeing alone in the treacherous starry sky.
She originally had a few companions. She wasn't the only one under Marquis Tianyuan's command in Heaven's Street. However, on this trip, she was the leader. Yi Xing had long been warned not to mingle with too many people, but at least there were still people who huddled together for warmth.
Who would have thought that not long after they left the main group, they would actually bump into a Prominent Divinity realm expert among the rebels. The Great General of the Path of Boundless, Gongsun Lidao, had personally made a move, scaring Madam Biyue out of her wits!
Yang Qing asked Miao Yi to exaggerate the situation in hell a little to scare Madam Biyue. But how could Yang Qing know the relationship between Miao Yi and the rebels of hell? Scare? It was meaningless to say a few words to scare her. Miao Yi was too straightforward. He directly sent someone to scare her!
