Chapter 180: The Beauty's Invitation II

  The enchanting and seductive Ruyan gave people a strong stimulus, her slender figure standing in the hall, emitting an intense and maddening vibration that even Han Yue and Xin Ge couldn't help but fix their gaze on Ruyan with an unusual color, scanning back and forth, as if they wanted to see through the obstruction of her clothes and appreciate the most enchanting **.

  It's like a seductive fairy.

  "Has your lady invited me?" asked Lang Tian with a smile.

  Those eyes that seemed to be beckoning like smoke, shook his head and said: "No, the young lady instructed that only Mr. Xie is invited to go, because he is the only person who has moved her heart so far."

  "What? Impossible!" Lang Tian shouted.

  Han Yue and others also showed a jealous expression.

  Only Xie Ao's eyebrows furrowed, and the maid was so enchanting that her mistress must be even more stunning. This seemed to be everyone's normal thought, but for Ruo Yan to say it out loud like this, wouldn't it make others envy herself even more? Moreover, she had never seen that so-called mistress before, where did this idea of being moved come from?

  "What about you? Beautiful as smoke, I suppose Old Xie hasn't captivated you?" asked Lang Zhantian.

  "As smoke, I will follow Miss for generations to come." As Smoke said this, her eyes flashed with a hint of strong temptation, and her slender body quietly leaned in closer to Xie Ao Yu.

  The two women, mistress and maid, both want to marry the same man?

  Several people present showed a jealous look.

  Xie Ao Yu swept a glance at the expressions of the crowd, and found that Lang Zhan Tian and Lin Dong Yun were calm, especially Lang Zhan Tian who seemed to be crazy about women, but was actually the calmest. On the other hand, Yun Tian Feng's expression was particularly unusual, with a hint of disgust floating on his face, which made Xie Ao Yu discover once again that Yun Tian Feng did not like women.

  "Your good fortune is indeed not shallow." Han Yue's words were full of jealousy, "I just don't know what you mean by seducing these two women, whether you have Ice Dance in your heart or not. A person with a divided mind like yours can hardly bring happiness to a woman."

  Am I flirting?

  Xie Ao Yu looked at Han Yue with a strange expression, thinking that Han Yue's intelligence shouldn't be like this, yet he was showing a jealous and frantic appearance, as if he had never even seen Miss Ruyan before.

  Wait!

  Has he seen her? A gleam of insight flashed through Xie Ao Yu's mind. If Han Yue hadn't seen her, how could she be so jealous? Although Ruo Yan was a top-notch beauty, she was still slightly inferior to Bing Wu. How could Ruo Yan make Han Yue like this? The only explanation is that Han Yue had seen Miss Ruo Yan before.

  Is it just a coincidence?

  "The lady said that behind every successful man, there are always some women. The lady is willing to be the woman behind Mr. Xie's back," said Ruyan.

  Han Yue let out a cold snort, her jealous expression even more pronounced.

  "What did your daughter invite me for?" Xie Ao Yu asked.

  "Young Master Ye invited Miss to come over," replied Ruyan, "I don't know anything else."

  He glanced at Ruyan and didn't seem to notice anything, saying calmly: "I have other things to attend to, I'll go back and thank Miss Xie for her invitation."

  "Miss said if Mr. Xie has something to attend to, I should accompany him and take care of it, then we can go see her together afterwards."

  "It seems I have no choice but to go." Xie Ao Yu said.

  A sly smile spread across her face, completely changing her enchanting demeanor, now more like a triumphant little girl, the change in temperament left Xie Ao Yu stunned.

  Xie Ao Yu had no choice but to go see this so-called Miss.

  Among the envy and admiration of the crowd, Xie Ao Yu and Ru Yan walked out of the hall, and ran into Bing Wu who was walking out of her room and heading in this direction.

  "Bingwu, come out with me for a bit, okay?" Xie Ao Yu said.

  Bingwu gave Ruyan a glance, her pretty face looked even colder, she hummed coldly and said "Not interested!" then brushed past him and entered the hall.

  Xie Ao Yu helplessly shook his head, "Let's go."

  The two left the inn and followed Ruoyan to a small courtyard.

  The small courtyard in Turo is the smallest, but very elegant. All around are some rare flowers and grasses, emitting a faint fragrance, passing through the hall and entering the small garden behind.

  Xie Ao Yu had a feeling of entering a sea of flowers.

  The whole yard is full of flowers and grass.

  "That must be our young mistress." A slender finger as thin as smoke pointed at a woman crouching among the flowers.

  Xie Ao Yu gave Ruyan a strange look, this girl no longer had any flirtatious appearance, giving people a strong feeling of purity, the drastic change before and after was somewhat difficult for Xie Ao Yu to adapt to.

  It seemed like she had discovered Xie Ao Yu's confusion, and Ru Yan spoke softly, "Miss said that when you're outside, you need to know how to protect yourself." After saying this, she quietly retreated.

  In the small garden, only Xie Ao Yu stood outside the flower cluster, looking at a woman in a white skirt and blue clothes among the various strange flowers and grasses. She brought her perfect jade face close to a small flower about the size of a thumb, lightly sniffing it. Her height was around 1.7 meters, with perfect proportions, her hair scattered casually on her fragrant shoulders. The most eye-catching were her pale purple eyes, shining brightly, like a spirit among flowers.

  Xie Ao Yu can be considered to have seen beauties before, the delicate and lovely Zi Yan, the icy and frosty Bing Wu, the elegant and refined You Lan Ruo, the spoiled and arrogant Qin Yue Yi, all of whom are stunningly beautiful. However, upon seeing this girl, he still had a moment of being stunned. This girl's beauty is not inferior to those four girls, but she has an air of elegance that transcends the mundane.

  As if she were a fairy born in flowers, untouched by worldly smoke and fire.

  Compared with You Lanruo, she is more elegant and refined.

  A person in a cluster of flowers, as if it were an otherworldly painting.

  "Xie Shao has arrived." The flower spirit stood up, her slender body lightly moving like a startled swan, as if she were a colorful phoenix, and floated in from among the flowers, bringing with her waves of floral fragrance.

  Xie Ao Yu said: "Is it Miss who invited me?"

  The woman smiled slightly, her white wrist flipped over, and a green cup appeared in her hand, with a fragrance that was tempting.

  "This is Rain Fragrance's honey collected from a hundred flowers and brewed into a Hundred Flower Dew," said the woman.

  Looking at the Hundred Flower Dew, Xie Ao Yu did not go to receive it.

  "What? Are you afraid that Yu Xiang is poisoning the food inside?" The woman smiled, and her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming at once, moving people's hearts and making them infatuated.

  It's possible!

  Xie Ao Yu suddenly had a thought in his mind, he looked at the woman who called herself Yu Xiang, but what appeared before his eyes was the figure of Die Hou You Lan Ruo.

  Two women have an astonishing resemblance.

  They all give people a delicate and elegant feeling like an immortal, but there is a difference. The Yulanruo gives people the feeling of being ethereal and refined, as if it were a celestial maiden who might return to heaven at any moment; while the Yuexiang gives people the feeling that it comes from the mortal world, but is not tainted by worldly affairs, just like a flower fairy, with a playful side.

  "I know someone who is very similar to you in temperament." Xie Ao Yu took over the Baifa Lou.

  "Is she beautiful?" the woman said.

  Xie Ao Yu nodded and said, "That's right, it's a snake's heart." He drank the Hundred Flower Dew in one gulp, smacked his lips, and smiled, "The taste is very good."

  "Viper heart, then I don't want to be like her." The woman's pale purple eyes flashed with a hint of purple light, and her slender body spun around in place.

  In the blink of an eye, Xie Ao Yu discovered that this girl's temperament had undergone a heaven-shaking change, exuding a noble and elegant aura, like a young noblewoman. A hint of a smile played on her lips, but she didn't show her teeth, looking very reserved.

  "One person can actually change their temperament at will, you two masters and servants seem to have an unusual background." Xie Ao Yu was enlightened.

  "But I'm just a fugitive, for the sake of survival, I cultivated the spiritual desire to change. " The woman said faintly, with a hint of bitterness, "Formally introduce myself, my name is Lian Yu Xiang, a fugitive because of the Hei Lian Holy Sect."

  Xie Ao Yu smiled and said: "You invited me here, I suppose it's not what Yan Ran said about you having some kind of crush on me?"

  Lian Yu Xiang chuckled and said, "Those were just jokes."

  "I thought so." Xie Ao Yu said calmly, "Now can you tell me the real purpose of inviting me?"

  Lian Yu Xiang's earlier coquettish demeanor was gone, replaced by an extraordinary elegance and a subtle aura of sanctity that made Xie Ao Yu wonder if You Lan Ruo had appeared before him. He couldn't help but marvel at Lian Yu Xiang's ability to transform her temperament, which seemed almost flawless and worthy of being called "hundred changes".

  "I've come to find you, in order to join forces!"

  Soft words yet moved Xie Ao Yu, his heart flashed countless thoughts, looking for me to join hands, apparently to deal with the Hei Lian Holy Sect. Because she said so, was persecuted by the Hei Lian Holy Sect, forced to leave home and flee, but why look for me to join hands? What does he have in mind?

  "Isn't it strange?" Lian Yu Xiang said seriously.

  "That's right." Xie Ao Yu nodded, "I'm curious, why did you choose me? What do I have that's worthy of your attention, considering the Hei Lian Holy Cult is a continental-level organization, and I come from a small family?"

  Her eyes were fixed intently, her face serious. "No, behind you is not just a small family, but several powerful forces. Although my country has been destroyed, I still have a pretty good intelligence network in my hands. I've investigated everything about you. Behind you is Mei Hou Ziyu, who is the future heir of an ancient noble family; there's also Lang Zhantian and Lin Dongyun, whose families may not be as old as Mei Hou's, but they also have histories spanning three to four thousand years. The Gu family that was eliminated 300 years ago was done in by them; and then there's the Tian Luo Qin family, which has a subtle connection with the Tian Luo imperial family. Although you seem like just a member of a small family, your network of relationships is enough to make you one of the most powerful young people on the continent."

  "So it wasn't me you had your eye on after all." Xie Ao Yu rubbed his nose.

  "No!" Lian Yu Xiang shook her head, "Why can you connect with so many people? No other reason, because of your excellence. The intelligence I've obtained shows that there seems to be some secret on Xiao's body, a secret that even Butterfly and You Lan Ru would be moved by."

  Xie Ao's mind was shocked and his heart was racing wildly.

  As for the matter of You Lan wanting to kill him, only a handful of people knew about it. Even if Zi Yan, Lang Zhan Tian and Lin Dong Yun were aware of it, they wouldn't dare to speak out because this involved too much, after all they were from ancient families and Zi Yan had strictly ordered them not to say anything.

  Youlan would kill him if she had to, and outsiders were even less likely to see it happen, because Youlan wouldn't leave a witness for Xie Ao Yu to find later and confront with Bingwu.

  Lian Yu Xiang knew it.

  "Miss Yu Xiang is not simple at all." Xie Ao Yu said.

  Just a moment ago, the sacred girl's aura of Lian Yu Xiang had changed again. Her purple eyes were filled with a misty haze, and she seemed on the verge of tears. "At the moment our country was destroyed, I vowed to take revenge and devoted myself to cultivating my powers. But the Black Lotus Sect is too powerful, and I really felt hopeless... until you appeared, Xie Shao." Tears fell one by one, her long eyelashes adorned with teardrops, her delicate face like a pear blossom in the rain, heartbreaking to behold. "As long as I can take revenge, I'm willing to give up everything, even my body!"

  That sorrowful appearance made Xie Ao Yu unable to bear the heartache, and he had a strong impulse to pull her into his arms. He pinched his thigh hard, and the sharp pain made him calm down. Staring at Lian Yu Xiang, an idea emerged in his mind: which one was the real Lian Yu Xiang? Or were these all just her so-called Lingyu Bai Bian Shu? Was the real her still hiding?
