Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1020 - 1018: Beauty Pageant?
Chapter 1020: Chapter 1018: Beauty Pageant?
"Haha, Miss Ning, the three-day deadline has passed. You should come with us now!"
A rampant laughter came from outside the door.
Under the leadership of a ferocious bald muscular man, four youths followed closely behind and burst into the room.
The muscular man had a fierce appearance.
His brows were sharp like knives, his eyes narrowed into slits, flashing coldly. His gaze was that of a cunning and bloodthirsty jackal, immediately fixing on Xiao Yi and the others upon entry.
A touch of doubt flickered in the eyes of the bald muscular man, but he restrained himself from rash actions and asked, "I see there are guests here! May I know how to address these brothers?"
This man was steeped in the air of Jianghu, every move he made was filled with a bloodthirsty ferocity, clearly not an easy opponent to deal with.
Xiao Yi merely glanced at him, and a conjecture arose in his heart; he turned to look at Qiu Yiyun.
Qiu Yiyun nodded, folded his arms across his chest, and stepped forward to gaze at the bald man: "You’re not qualified enough to address us as brothers... This Cold Moon Pavilion is under Lord Xiao’s protection, disappear if you don’t want to die. If you dare to trouble Cold Moon Pavilion again, this will be your fate!"
Buzz!
A flash of cold light streaked past Qiu Yiyun’s palm, turning into a gust of wind that enveloped the bald man.
With a thunderous boom,
The bald muscular man and his four companions were sent flying, crashing outside the door.
"Bald... bald head..."
"Are you alright?"
The four youths were bruised and battered, but disregarding their own disheveled state, they quickly went to help the bald man up.
"Let’s leave this place quickly!"
The bald man shouted with a face full of terror.
He was an expert of the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm.
But in facing Qiu Yiyun’s palm moments ago, he couldn’t even muster the most basic defense and was directly smacked away. Such strength was far beyond his own.
He was an expert of the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, so the other party might very well be a strong figure from the Longevity Secret Realm.
With that thought,
The bald man dared not linger a moment longer, but as he was about to disappear from sight, he turned back to look in the direction of Cold Moon Pavilion, the hatred in his eyes undiminished: "You wench, don’t think finding a higher power from the Longevity Secret Realm as your backup can save you. I’m going to tell Qian about this, and you’ll all be dead..."
With the support of the others, the bald man and his party vanished into the crowd.
Inside Cold Moon Pavilion.
Ning Ruoshuang looked at Qiu Yiyun in shock and exclaimed, "That, that bald guy is a high-level expert of the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, stronger than even my father, and you just slapped him away? Are you possibly the fabled expert from the Longevity Secret Realm?"
"Ruoshuang!"
Ning Delun coughed lightly, looking awkwardly at Xiao Yi and Qiu Yiyun, and said, "Lord Xiao, Qiu, this girl has been spoiled by me, please be patient with her!"
"It’s nothing!"
Qiu Yiyun smiled, "The young lady is quite adorable!"
Xiao Yi touched his nose and said nothing more.
Ning Delun chuckled, clearly pleased as a father, when his daughter received compliments. His lips upturned slightly as he began introducing them, "Ruoshuang, these two are old friends of your father..."
Xiao Yi said, "Xiao Yi!"
Qiu Yiyun: "Qiu Yiyun, I’m a bit older than your father, you can just call me Uncle Qiu!"
Ning Ruoshuang was quick-witted and could see that both Ning Delun and Qiu Yiyun were extremely respectful towards Xiao Yi.
Obviously among the three, Xiao Yi’s status was the most prestigious!
Ning Ruoshuang curbed her impish nature and said earnestly, "Ruoshuang greets Big Brother Xiao and Uncle Qiu!"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Yi flipped his hand and threw a bottle of elixir to Ning Ruoshuang, saying, "A little gift for our first meeting, take it!"
"Thank you, Big Brother Xiao!"
Ning Ruoshuang giggled as she caught the bottle, opening the cap under the astonished gazes of Ning Delun and Qiu Yiyun.
In an instant,
The rich scent of the medicine filled the entire Cold Moon Pavilion.
Boom!
A burst of seven-colored light shot out from the bottle, coalescing into a seven-colored dragon shadow above the bottle’s mouth.
Eventually, the seven-colored dragon shadow violently plunged back into the bottle and disappeared without a trace.
"Is this, this the Eight-grade Elixir, the Seven-Colored Dragon Transformation Elixir?"
"The Seven-Colored Dragon Transformation Elixir, each one is equivalent to a source stone, this, is this actually a whole bottle? More than ten?"
The two exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
The meeting gift was worth dozens of source stones.
Ning Delun looked at Xiao Yi with a face full of gratitude.
Ning Ruoshuang did not quite understand what source stones were, but the medicinal pill had an excellent appearance, and even her father and Qiu Yiyun were so perturbed and shocked, it goes without saying that it was no ordinary Item.
Her face revealed a brilliant smile, "Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
"Mm!"
Xiao Yi simply nodded slightly.
Qiu Yiyun, who was to the side, touched his nose; he had also prepared a meeting gift, but with Xiao Yi’s Seven-Colored Dragon Transformation Elixir setting such a precedent, if his gift appeared too modest, it wouldn’t look good.
With this thought...
Qiu Yiyun burst out laughing, "My niece, Uncle also has a meeting gift for you."
Hum!
He conjured a sword pellet out of thin air.
Into this sword pellet, he infused the majestic power of an Earth Venerate Realm powerhouse.
With this sword pellet on one’s person...
Powerhouses in the Longevity Secret Realm could naturally sense the terrifying energy on the sword pellet and would not recklessly attack the one possessing it. As for those below the longevity strength, the mere sword’s might emanating from the pellet was enough to deter them from harboring any other thoughts.
What’s more...
There was a strand of Qiu Yiyun’s divine sense fused into this sword pellet.
Should Ning Ruoshuang face life-threatening danger...
His divine sense would be the first to become aware of the situation.
"Ruoshuang..."
Seeing that both Xiao Yi and Qiu Yiyun cared greatly about Ning Ruoshuang, Ning Delun also felt a warm current surge secretly in his heart; his wife had passed away not long after Ning Ruoshuang was born.
It had always been just him and Ning Ruoshuang relying on each other.
Now...
Ning Ruoshuang had gained a brother like Xiao Yi and an influential uncle like Qiu Yiyun.
His hanging heart was also slowly being put at ease.
It was just that thinking back to the bald man who had come aggressively, Ning Delun came back to his senses and asked worriedly, "Ruoshuang, what exactly happened just now? Who is that bald man?"
"Oh no... this is bad..."
Ning Ruoshuang’s face suddenly changed, and her pretty face turned totally pale, "I was just focused on receiving gifts, how could I forget about the important matter? Daddy, we need to pack up and make a run for it!"
"Ah?"
The three exchanged glances.
Make a run for it?
Wasn’t it just dealing with a bald man who came to provoke a fight?
How did it turn into making a run for it?
"Don’t rush off!"
"First, tell daddy who that bald man is? Why were they looking for you?" Ning Delun asked.
With a crestfallen face, Ning Ruoshuang said, "They are from the Giant Whale Alliance. I heard that the Giant Whale Alliance is holding a beauty contest for their young master and are scouring everywhere for beautiful girls. I was targeted by them. They want me to participate in the contest, and at the same time, they have ambitions over the Cold Moon Pavilion..."
PS: 2020 has passed, and the new year is about to begin! In 2021, Xiao Tian will begin to burst forth and repay his debts...
