Miao Yi couldn't help but turn to look at the stonemason who was carrying the palanquin. He asked curiously, "Stonemason, why do you care about this?"
The stonemason laughed and said, "If you don't answer, then you do."
"Why would I answer that? You can think whatever you want. "Miao Yi waved his hand disdainfully.
The carpenter in front shook his head and said, "If he doesn't answer, then it means he has a guilty conscience. This brat doesn't look like a good person. Who knows how many girls he has ruined?"
The stonemason grunted and said, "Even if it's ten a year, after so many years, there should be more than a thousand."
Miao Yi didn't want to bother with them at first, but then he realized that the two of them were going on and on, using this matter to slander him. He couldn't help but turn around and say, "Lady Boss, these two are saying such filthy things right in front of you. Aren't you going to do something about it?"
Unexpectedly, the Lady Boss casually replied, "You men are all the same. You've already done dirty things, so why are you still afraid of others talking about it?"
Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What kind of filthy thing did I do? Ever since I became a Cave Master and climbed all the way to the position of Manor Head, I've never done what you're talking about. "
The stonemason immediately said, "Who would believe that? We didn't see it anyway. You can say whatever you want."
The carpenter didn't believe it either. "At your position, don't tell me you don't even have a maid."
Miao Yi was speechless. "At my position, it's not too much to have two handmaidens, is it? Who doesn't? If I don't even have two maids, people will say that I'm crazy. There aren't many people who are as disciplined as I am. Back when I was a Cave Master, I had two followers as my handmaidens. Other than that, I really haven't touched any other followers. For example, before I came to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, someone even offered me five stunning beauties as a tribute. I didn't even look at them before I sent them away. If even someone like me can't be considered a good person, then there wouldn't be any good people left in this world. "
The stonemason chuckled. "Really?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
The carpenter asked, "Do you have a dual cultivation partner? Can you bring him back for us to see? "
Miao Yi replied, "Let's talk about it when I have one. Who would take a fancy to her? "
The stonemason snorted. "How hypocritical. You are a Manor Lord and you don't have any female cultivators under you? Is it because your standards are too high? "
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with foresight. I can't even protect myself, so I don't have the time to do that. "
The carpenter laughed. "There must be a woman you like, right?"
Speaking of this, Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh, "There really were. Before I stepped into the cultivation realm, there were two of them. One was the daughter of Old Li, who owned the tofu shop opposite my house, and the other was as beautiful as a fairy. Unfortunately, neither of them liked me. Later, when I looked back, I didn't feel anything at all. "
"Go! Don't brag about what you did before you became a cultivator. "The carpenter didn't believe him." I don't believe that you've never been moved by anything after becoming a cultivator. Unless you're not a man. "
"After cultivation?" Miao Yi rubbed his face with both his hands, then hugged the back of his head with his arms. He smiled and said, "If I must say there was, then there was one. Unfortunately, he's dead."
Lying on her side on the bed, the Lady Boss opened her eyes and looked at Miao Yi's back. She could hear the complicated emotions in his calm voice.
The carpenter was surprised. "Dead? What happened? She was killed? "
Miao Yi hugged the back of his head and chuckled. "We met during the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. After that, I fought with Yao Sage Ji Huan's grandson, Bai Ziliang. The few of us were sucked into the Demon Refining Gourd by Bai Ziliang. Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun were among them at the time. We managed to escape, but she never had the chance to leave the Sea of Constellations alive. After the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade ended, I luckily survived and brought her corpse back. Just like that, we met in a hurry, and ended in a hurry! "
"Don't end it in such a hurry. Tell me the details! "The carpenter was very curious.
Miao Yi smiled. "There's nothing much to say. If you really want to know the details, you can ask Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun later. There's no need to force me to talk about my sad past, right?"
Since he said so … The two of them couldn't say anything more. In any case, they could confirm that other than his two handmaidens, this bastard didn't have any official women by his side. It seemed like he wasn't the type to mess around with men and women.
The Lady Boss slowly closed her eyes again …
After several days and nights of rapid flight, the time between sunrise and sunset had clearly become abnormal. Miao Yi was a little surprised. The carpenter told him that it was because they were already close to the South Pole Ice Palace. During this season, there was only night in the South Pole Ice Palace.
Below them, large pieces of ice began to appear on the surface of the sea, and the temperature had also become extremely cold.
Under the starry sky and the biting cold wind, on the vast snowy plains, on the peak of a towering mountain, a massive ice fortress emitting a beautiful light blue glow stood tall. Under the vast starry sky, above the light blue ice fortress, there was a dazzling radiance that flowed endlessly. The scene was so beautiful that it made Miao Yi's hair stand on end. It was like a dream, and Miao Yi couldn't help but be amazed.
Needless to say, that ice fortress was the South Pole Ice Palace where the South Pole Elder resided.
The group quickly landed outside the ice fortress. Miao Yi hurriedly jumped off the couch. The carpenter and stonemason carried the couch across the snow, and Miao Yi walked beside them.
A man and a woman dressed in white furs quickly walked out of the ice palace's entrance. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. They were truly a match made in heaven.
The carpenter and stonemason stopped, and the pair stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This junior greets Madam Feng. Your presence brings light to the South Pole Ice Palace. The Elder Ancestor has ordered us to welcome you!"
The Lady Boss, who was lying lazily on the couch, waved her hand and said, "No need for formalities."
It was rare to see her like this when they were at Tempest Tavern.
The pair parted and extended their hands in invitation, saying, "Please!"
The couch moved forward once more, while the carpenter and stonemason turned into two wooden figures, as though they were the proper bearers of the palanquin. Miao Yi had no choice but to follow suit and enter the ice palace's entrance together.
The wind outside was cold, but as soon as they entered the palace, it felt as warm as spring. However, Miao Yi was curious as to where the light blue radiance was coming from within the thick layer of ice.
The palanquin descended after entering the palace's main hall. There were already quite a number of people gathered in the hall, all of them staring at the couch.
Miao Yi rolled up the curtains, and a pair of embroidered shoes with cloud patterns poked out from within. The alluring and sexy Lady Boss smiled as she walked towards the crowd.
The carpenter put away the couch, and the three of them followed behind the Lady Boss.
Amidst the crowd, an unusually muscular old man with white hair and a white beard laughed heartily as he walked out from the crowd to welcome the Lady Boss. "Sister-in-law is here!"
The Lady Boss quickened her pace and took a few steps forward. She then gave a charming bow and said, "Greetings, Big Brother Bai. May you live as long as the heavens do!"
"There's no need for formalities, Sister-in-law!" The old man's face was glowing as he smiled and helped her up.
This person was the South Pole Patriarch, Bai Binghai! The carpenter secretly transmitted his voice over to Miao Yi and introduced him.
'Sister-in-law?' Miao Yi thought to himself. 'It seems that Feng Xuan really has a wide circle of friends. Even though he's already so old, he's still friends despite the difference in age.'
Standing behind the Lady Boss, Miao Yi and the others cupped their fists and bowed as well.
The Lady Boss stood up with a jade box in her hand. She presented it with both hands and said, "This is a small gift for Big Brother's birthday. I hope Big Brother will accept it."
The South Pole Patriarch, Bai Binghai, chuckled as he accepted the box. He then turned to the crowd and said, "You're all familiar with me. I believe there's no need for introductions."
"Go ahead, Big Brother Bai. I won't stand on ceremony!" The Lady Boss thanked him, then slowly walked into the crowd and greeted her acquaintances.
Miao Yi followed the carpenter and stonemason to the side and stood at the area reserved for servants. He stood with his hands behind his back and stared at the Lady Boss as she chatted with the crowd. He could see many men's burning gazes sweeping across the Lady Boss's alluring figure. Some of them even looked like they wanted to swallow the Lady Boss whole in a single gulp as they quietly swallowed their saliva.
Whenever the Lady Boss talked to someone, the carpenter would quietly introduce them to Miao Yi. Miao Yi's knowledge was indeed broadened. He felt that this trip wasn't in vain. It was worth it to waste some of his cultivation time. He didn't expect there to be so many esteemed guests here to celebrate the South Pole Patriarch's birthday.
The main hall of this ice palace was indeed huge. Even with over a thousand people gathered in this sparkling hall, it still seemed spacious.
At this moment, the pair of male and female attendants led another four people into the hall. Miao Yi couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw them, because he knew the person leading the group. It was none other than Hei Yun from the Ghost Nation. Beside Hei Yun was a handsome black-robed young man with red lips and a jade-like face. The carpenter only introduced Hei Yun, and clearly didn't know who this young man was.
"Hei Yun is here!" The South Pole Patriarch smiled as he stepped forward to welcome the guests.
"Hei Yun has come under the orders of my master to celebrate the Old Ancestor's birthday. May the Old Ancestor live as long as the heavens!" Hei Yun cupped his fists and took out a gift. He then pulled the handsome young man beside him over and introduced, "Old Ancestor, this is my son, Hei Wuya. I've taken this opportunity to show you the Old Ancestor's splendor!"
"Junior Hei Wuya greets the Old Ancestor." Hei Wuya cupped his fists and bowed.
Miao Yi was enlightened. 'So it's Hei Wuya.' Back in the Sea of Constellations, this bastard had covered himself up so well that he couldn't see his face. Miao Yi didn't expect him to look so handsome without his armor.
"What a young genius!" the Old Ancestor said politely. He reached out to help Hei Wuya up, then turned around and invited the others to meet him.
Not long after, another four guests arrived. The carpenter transmitted his voice over and introduced, "The people from your Celestial Nation are here. I believe you should recognize them. The one leading them is Mu Fanjun's fourth disciple, Tang Jun. The other one is so beautiful, and she's qualified to walk beside Tang Jun. She might even be Mu Fanjun's sixth disciple, Fairy Yue Yao.
I believe the Old Ancestor brought her here to broaden her horizons as well. "The carpenter was right. Miao Yi could immediately recognize them. They were indeed Tang Jun and Fairy Yue Yao. However, Fairy Yue Yao was no longer disguised as a man. She had reverted to her true appearance, and her beauty was so stunning that Miao Yi was a little shocked. 'Little Sister is actually this beautiful!'
She was dressed in a long snow-white dress, and her silky black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. A jade hairpin hung horizontally across the top of her head, and a white veil trailed behind her back. She looked just like the Goddess of Mercy.
Beneath the white veil, her skin was as fair as jade. Her neck was as long as a swan's, and her exquisite collarbone was adorned with a necklace. Her waist was slender, and her breasts were ample. Her fingers were as slender as jade, and her skin was as fair as ice. She had a tranquil and elegant temperament. She had bright eyes, white teeth, a delicate nose, and red lips. Her complexion was natural, and her aura was like the fragrance of orchids. Her beauty was even more beautiful than Fairy Hong Chen's.
