Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please Chapter 21.3: Golden Red Elixir Flames

“That’s right.”

“To have crossed over two continents at once, it must have drained your cultivation quite a bit. Are you people running away from enemy persecution?” Qing Yu asked as she rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

‘It can be considered to be that!” Lou Jun Yao smiled. “With my body becoming weaker by the day, encountering an enemy would only mean being slaughtered. In that case, wouldn’t hiding far far away from them be the smarter thing to do?”

“Mm. Being adaptable is definitely a virtue.”

Bai Zhi Yan was speechless. “…..”

Only mean being slaughtered….. Aren’t you taking it too far with pretending to be weak and helpless…..

And you’re saying it with such a serious face, almost deceiving me as well.

But…..

Bai Zhi Yan’s surveying eyes then came back onto the two people who were chatting away happily, and he came to a conclusion.

Lou Jun Yao was indeed showing a fondness for that lad.

As he had never seen his Lord ever being so chatty.

In another part of the capital city…..

Yan Ning Luo and Yan Xi Cheng had a fight and they parted on an unhappy note.

All the way from when they were very young, Yan Xi Cheng had always doted on her very much, never once raising his voice at her.

And this time, just because of a completely unrelated person, he had actually scolded her. In a fit of anger, Yan Ning Luo then decided not to return home.

Although she did not come back to the Imperial Capital much, but she still had several fast and steady friends, and the Left Prime Minister’s youngest daughter was one that she was usually closest to.

Among the famous women in the Imperial Capital, besides Yan Ning Luo being hailed as the greatest beauty, Yu Xiao Ning was also well known to be a lady who was both talented and beautiful.

Known as the Imperial City’s dual pride together as Yan Ning Luo.

Su Xiao Ning had a fair and tiny almond shaped face, her sharp chin tinged with a faint line of Beauty’s cleft which was exceptionally enchanting. Her quick witted limpid pair of sparkling eyes seemed to talk, a highly intelligent and graceful young lady.

At that moment, her dainty cherry lips were slightly curled up, amused as she looked at her gloomy and unhappy good friend.

“Who could have angered our greatest beauty now? What audacity. Tell me and I will vent your frustration onto them for you.”

Yan Ning Luo rolled her eyes at her friend. “And you’re still teasing me?”

“When did I do that? Am I not showing concern here! ?” Su Xiao Ning covered her mouth and laughed lightly. “Aiyah, don’t be so unhappy. It’s not often we can meet and reminisce of old times. With you becoming the Faint Mist Sect’s greatest female senior, I am finding it harder and harder to keep up with you.”

Yan Ning Luo scoffed at her. “Here you are squeezing out sourness to make vinegar again. How am I as capable as you! ? Our entire Green Wave Country will have to depend on you!”

Although the Left Prime Minister was a weak and frail literary official, but his children had all done well for themselves. This one here was his youngest daughter, a prodigy genius born to do business and trade.

A good half of the Green Wave Kingdom’s industries were all Yu Xiao Ning’s and it could be said that she controlled the kingdom’s economic lifeline.

So beautiful and was able to make so much money. Only the Heavens knew how many young men were harbouring some ideas towards her.

“I have heard that the Water Edge Kingdom is going to send a princess here to propose a match in marriage?” Yu Xiao Ning stopped fooling around and started to speak of serious business.

“Marriage proposal? It’s just a cover, sheer camouflage.” Yan Ning Luo answered with a sneer. “The one coming here is not any princess, but the Water Edge Kingdom’s most favoured Ninth Princess, Xin Yan. Would Yue Mu Chen who is so crazily protective of that sister of his really marry her off to an enemy kingdom? Only when the sun rises up from the west!”

Yu Xiao Ning rubbed her chin. “That’s quite true. But then….. What are they coming here for?”

Could it be that because the kingdoms were at peace and they were feeling idle, so they are thinking to start a war?

“You are so busy making money all the time and I think you are not aware that that demonic Duke of Vast Seas has awoken, and he will be the one escorting Yue Xin Yan here.”

“That….. That can’t be true!” The smile at the corners of Yu Xiao Ning’s lips then showed a rare moment of stiffening.
