Chapter 102 White Spirit Star
Chapter 102 White Spirit Star
At this moment, another group of people slowly walked towards them.
The woman at the head of the group was dressed in a flowing white gown, her clothes as light as white clouds and as pure as snowflakes, dancing in the wind like a scene from a dreamlike fairyland.
She walked gracefully, like a fairy descending from the heavens, exuding an otherworldly aura.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, without a single flaw.
Her fair skin was like a piece of fine jade, delicate and smooth, gleaming with a captivating luster under the sunlight, mesmerizing to behold.
Her arched eyebrows were as graceful and beautiful as a crescent moon, and beneath them were a pair of clear and lively eyes, like deep and tranquil lake water.
Like dazzling stars, its captivating beauty, like a gentle autumn breeze, is mesmerizing and draws one in completely.
Her pert nose, like a meticulously crafted work of art, was perfectly set on her beautiful face, adding a touch of three-dimensionality.
Her cherry-like lips were naturally red without any makeup, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth carried a faint smile, as if a spring breeze was gently caressing her face, warming her heart and making her feel as if she were bathed in spring breeze.
Her features were so perfectly matched, every single one was just right.
It makes one marvel at the divine touch of heaven, as if all the beauty in the world has been gathered in one person.
She walked up to Emperor Si Chao and King Ling, knelt on one knee, and said in a clear and respectful voice: "Your subordinate Bai Lingxing greets King Ling and pays respects to Emperor Si Chao."
"No need," the Spirit King replied indifferently, his face still expressionless.
After Bai Lingxing stood up, Emperor Liu Xinhao of the Si Dynasty said, "Liu Lingzhen, no matter what, I am going to have a good drink with you today. Don't even think about escaping."
Upon hearing Liu Xinhao's words, King Ling recalled the events in Qin a year ago and wished to speak with Liu Xinhao as well, ultimately agreeing to the request.
Anyway, there are still a few days before the auction, so there's no need to rush for now.
King Ling shook his head helplessly and said, "Liu Xinhao, I have come here to participate in the auction."
But since you have so kindly extended this invitation, and I have something else I wish to discuss with you, I will agree to accompany you.”
Upon hearing King Ling's agreement, Liu Xinhao quickly said, "Very well, let's return to the palace together and then we can devise a plan."
King Ling nodded in agreement, and then instructed Bai Lingxing to take the rest of the people to make arrangements. King Ling, along with the four Lingxings of Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua, and Hua, followed Emperor Si Chao towards the palace.
Through the introduction of the subordinates of Huanlingyuan, Bai Lingxing also learned about Daya and the others, and the people of Taoyu Sect bid them farewell at this time.
Daya originally wanted to persuade them to stay, after all, they had been traveling together for two months and were very familiar with each other.
However, they were refused by the people of the Taoyu Sect. Although they were all from the same country, they were not on the same side, and they would feel uncomfortable staying.
Left with no other choice, Daya had to go with them.
Bai Lingxing led them into the city, and before long they arrived at a large four-story inn. The inn was bustling with activity.
When the innkeeper saw that a dozen or so people had arrived, all of whom were dressed in fine clothes and were obviously important figures, he hurriedly went forward to greet them.
As soon as Da Ya and her companions entered, they encountered all sorts of people in the restaurant: chivalrous heroes from the martial arts world, people dressed in strange costumes, and people with extraordinary bearing.
The main hall, where dining is held, is extremely spacious and has more than twenty large hexagonal wooden tables.
Each large wooden table has a square hole in the middle, with a charcoal brazier placed above it.
The hall was already filled with more than a dozen tables of guests, and there were a few wooden tables that were empty, but the charcoal braziers on them were already lit and the fire was blazing. The owner was directing the staff to tidy up and set up.
Just then, a bald, one-eyed giant walked in from behind them, followed by three burly men. The one-eyed giant shouted, "Hey! Boss, are you all ready?"
Upon seeing them, the shopkeeper hurried over with a fawning smile, saying, "Sir, everything is ready. Please take a seat."
The one-eyed giant turned to the person beside him and said, "Go and invite the boss and the others over."
Then he asked the boss, "Where should I sit?"
The boss hurriedly bowed and pointed to the empty table on the west side, saying, "Please come in, sir. The seats have all been arranged."
The one-eyed giant walked to the table but did not sit down. He said, "Boss, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll wait here for the boss and the others to arrive. I'll also bring the food and drinks."
The boss was puzzled and thought to himself, "I'd better treat these people well. This one-eyed giant is definitely not an ordinary person."
He hurried toward the kitchen, thinking, "I must instruct them again that the meat must be fresh."
The waiters must be extremely attentive and courteous; these kinds of customers are absolutely not to be offended.
At this point, Cheng Peng became unhappy, thinking, "I came in first, and you, before you've even assigned any tasks to us, you've gone to assign tasks to that one-eyed guy first."
Without saying a word, he picked up a large knife and slashed at the one-eyed man's table, cursing all the while.
"I was here first, how dare you take our spot."
With a single stroke, the table split in two, and charcoal from the basin flew everywhere. Some ordinary merchants also suffered undeserved misfortune; the incident happened so suddenly that they couldn't dodge in time.
One-Eyed Dragon was completely bewildered when Cheng Peng suddenly slashed the table in front of him with his knife.
After a moment, he realized what was happening and shouted angrily, "You big black guy, what's wrong with you?"
He picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground and slashed at Cheng Peng. When Cheng Peng saw the one-eyed giant coming at him, he quickly raised his broadsword to defend himself.
Unfortunately, Cheng Peng was only strong and did not know martial arts. He was forced to retreat repeatedly when attacked by Cheng Peng's knife.
When Mei Yanyan saw Cheng Peng being beaten, she immediately used her lightness skill to get to Cheng Peng's side and pull him back, while her whip lashed out at the one-eyed man.
The one-eyed giant saw the whip coming and quickly defended himself and retreated.
When Shanzi and Xiaolie saw Mei Yanyan join them, they used their lightness skills to rush towards the one-eyed dragon. Well, that's it, they've only just arrived and they've already gotten themselves into trouble.
The three men, including the one-eyed dragon, were locked in a fierce battle with the two who had arrived earlier. Their punches and kicks were sharp and their movements were menacing.
At that moment, two other people saw this and rushed forward without hesitation, joining the melee.
In an instant, shouts of battle and the clash of weapons filled the restaurant, creating a chaotic scene.
Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper turned pale with fright and frantically dodged the flying tables, chairs, and benches.
He shouted and begged for mercy, "Honorable guests, please have mercy on us!"
Please stop hitting it! This little shop needs to do business. If you smash it up, my whole family will starve.
However, his pleas had no effect whatsoever, and the six men continued their fierce fight.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and a handsome young man slowly walked in through the door.
This young man was dressed in a white brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and holding a folding fan. He had a handsome face and bright eyes, and was truly dashing and extraordinary.
He had just stepped into the restaurant when he was immediately drawn to the intense fight scene before him.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that six people were fighting each other in pairs.
The young man immediately noticed the one-eyed giant and another young man locked in fierce combat, and his brow furrowed.
He roared, "Naben, what are you doing? We came here specifically to eat, why are you starting a fight with them? Stop it right now!"
Upon hearing someone shout, Shanzi and the others, who were engaged in fierce fighting, were startled at first, then quickly jumped back a few steps and stood firmly on their feet.
Then, they all turned to look at the young master standing at the door, their eyes filled with wariness.
Looking at the one-eyed giant, he now had a wronged expression on his face.
He pointed his finger directly at Cheng Peng, who was standing opposite him, and his expression instantly became distorted, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
With a mournful face, he tearfully complained, "Oh dear... Boss, you've really wronged me this time!"
I was sitting here perfectly fine, happily waiting for all of you brothers and sisters to come and enjoy the delicious food together.
Who would have thought that this big, burly, dark-skinned guy would suddenly go berserk, without saying a word, grab the weapon at hand and start hacking wildly at me.
I was so scared that I was completely terrified. My mind went blank, and I had no idea what was happening.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, and to save my own life, I had no choice but to hastily fight back.
The richly dressed young man first turned his gaze to Cheng Peng, who had an angry expression, and sized him up.
He slowly turned his head and glanced around at the other people.
When his gaze finally landed on the elegant Bai Lingxing, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Immediately afterwards, he strode forward without hesitation and walked straight toward Bai Lingxing, speaking very politely.
"Miss Bai, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. May I ask why you've come here today?"
However, Bai Lingxing only glanced at the young master with indifference in the face of his enthusiastic advances.
His eyes were filled with indifference and disdain, as if he had no intention of paying any attention to the person in front of him.
Then, as if she hadn't seen him at all, she turned and left without looking back, leading her companions to find a seat on the other side, some distance from the young master.
Seeing this, Shanzi, who had been closely watching the situation unfold, hurriedly ran to Cheng Peng's side, his face full of worry.
He asked anxiously, "Big guy, are you hurt?" After receiving Cheng Peng's reply that he was alright, Shanzi finally felt a little relieved.
Then, the group of them took their seats at several empty tables nearby.
Seeing that Bai Lingxing ignored him and was so indifferent, the young master did not show the slightest anger and maintained his elegant demeanor.
