Chapter 1296 - 356: The Infamous Good-for-Nothing New City Lord
Chapter 1296 - 356: The Infamous Good-for-Nothing New City Lord
Luo Qianche felt malicious intentions and glanced at Hong Mingyue.
"What is your name? Would you be willing to work under me?"
"Servant Hong Mingyue, serving the Young City Lord is Mingyue’s honor," Hong Mingyue said respectfully.
With just a glance, Hong Mingyue and she seemed like the same kind of people; although Luo Qianche was somewhat suspicious of Hong Mingyue, she didn’t think Hong Mingyue could cause much trouble.
"Qianche, you are finally awake." The City Lord, Luo Qian, came in.
"Father. You must avenge your daughter," Luo Qianche saw her father, feeling aggrieved, went forward and acted coquettishly.
Beside her, Hong Mingyue saw this and thought of her past self. At the Hong Residence, she too was loved and adored, but now... her eyes flashed with jealousy.
Seeing his beloved daughter’s appearance, Luo Qian felt deeply pained.
Although Luo Qian had nineteen concubines and several offspring, only Luo Qianche inherited the Water God Bloodline and had the ability to summon Water Beasts, so he always loved her dearly.
Unexpectedly, his precious jewel suffered such a major accident this time.
In a fit of rage, Luo Qian killed those Whale People.
But after calming down, he felt something was amiss.
Those Whale People had been birthday gifts captured from the outer sea by Luo Qian for Luo Qianche’s sixth birthday.
In counting, they had been with Luo Qianche for over a decade; over the years, those Whale People had never behaved unusually.
"Qianche, what exactly happened? Why were you attacked by Whale People, and why did the Whale People suddenly appear on the surface?"
Though the Water Clan was the main guard force of Shui City, to conceal their true strength and prevent alarming the city residents, the Water Clan in the main city generally didn’t appear during the day.
"Father, when it comes to this matter, it’s all that damned Huangquan City Lord’s fault! If not for her, I wouldn’t have been attacked by Whale People. I originally wanted the Whale People to attack her, but somehow they suddenly rebelled."
Luo Qianche gritted her teeth.
"The new city lord of Huangquan City?"
Luo Qian hadn’t expected this matter to be related to the new city lord; earlier, due to Luo Qianche’s injury, he hadn’t paid attention to anything about the Huangquan City Lord.
He remembered her as an insignificant young woman and had no particular impression.
Not to mention Luo Qian looked down on Huangquan Cheng, this new city lord had originally come to face impeachment. Luo Qian couldn’t understand why his daughter would conflict with someone like that.
"Yes, it’s her, that ugly woman, making trouble despite her lack of strength, even shamelessly trying to woo Di Shen."
When Luo Qianche mentioned Di Shen, her intact left eye showed a different hue, and a rare blush came upon her face, typical of a young girl.
"Who is Di Shen? Daughter, have you found someone dear to your heart?"
Luo Qian was at first doubtful.
Luo Qianche, proud since childhood, had never paid attention to the many young talents who admired and pursued her in Shui City.
Therefore, until she was in her twenties, her marriage remained unsettled.
Luo Qian was quite troubled over it.
Because the Water God Bloodline carried an unspoken secret.
That was, when the Water God descended to the Human Realm in ancient times and combined with a Luo family man, he left the Water God Bloodline.
Thus, for those inheriting the Water God Bloodline, as the sole successor of each generation, only through marriage, the harmonization of Yin and Yang could officially awaken the Water God Bloodline within them.
Luo Qianche had remained single, refusing to marry, and thus her Water God Bloodline was only partially awakened, with her ability to summon the Water Clan less than Luo Qian’s.
It was rare for his daughter to mention a man’s name, so Luo Qian paid attention.
And upon seeing his daughter’s unusual reaction, he suddenly recalled Di Shen.
He had indeed heard of this Di Shen from the Wuling City Lord.
This person was this year’s Newcomer King of Wuling City and one of the participants in this significant event.
However, Luo Qian also remembered that the Wuling City Lord had mentioned Di Shen seemed to have someone he loved.
"The Di Shen you speak of wouldn’t be the man beside that useless city lord. Daughter, he’s said to be the Dual Cultivation Couple with the Huangquan City Lord."
Luo Qian furrowed his brows; his daughter harboring romantic feelings was a good thing.
But if the other person had a Dual Cultivation Partner, that was different.
His daughter, a dignified Young City Lord of Shui City, could not be another’s concubine.
"Father, I don’t care, I want Di Shen. I will only marry him. Besides, that Ye Lingyue is so ugly and useless; Di Shen is a Five Spirits Nirvana Body, young and promising. She doesn’t deserve him."
"City Lord, Young City Lord, I am also from Qing Province Continent. Regarding that Huangquan City Lord Ye Lingyue, I have something to say."
Hong Mingyue listened for a moment, clearly understanding.
So, Luo Qianche was interested in Di Shen; indeed, Di Shen had a good appearance. Even Hong Mingyue had to admit that, in her view, considering even Ancient Nine Provinces, to compare with Di Shen might only be Zitang Su.
It was bold of Luo Qianche to set her eyes on Di Shen, and it seemed Ye Lingyue had offended her.
Hong Mingyue could take advantage of this opportunity, using Luo Qianche against Ye Lingyue.
Hong Mingyue then distorted the truth, saying Ye Lingyue had an engagement with the Beiqing Feng Mansion Master in Qing Province Continent, then seduced Daxia’s New Emperor and had relations with the Ghost Emperor, painting a picture of Ye Lingyue as a promiscuous and lowly woman.
"Outrageous. This Ye Lingyue is truly shameless, having Di Shen isn’t enough, but still flirting around. Though with how she looks, how would those men be interested in her?"
Luo Qianche was angry but found it somewhat puzzling.
"Young City Lord, you may not know. Although Ye Lingyue’s looks aren’t impressive, she learned a trick from the Joyful Union Sect to seduce men, which is why those men are so enchanted by her," Hong Mingyue continued to distort the truth.
"That explains it. Father, you heard it all. Such a woman, Di Shen must be blinded by her and that’s why he likes her. At the upcoming City Lord Meeting, you must, by all means, expose her true colors and impeach her."
Luo Qianche had already believed Hong Mingyue’s words.
But Luo Qian remained silent.
Hong Mingyue grew anxious, glanced at Luo Qian, only to see him eyeing her with a kind of intense gaze.
That gaze was suggestive, and Hong Mingyue felt a tremor in her heart.
Luo Qian spoke, "Qianche, rest assured, this matter is in your father’s hands. I will never let anyone get in the way of your happiness. In a few days, that useless city lord will have nothing left."
"Achoo!"
In the little courtyard, Ye Lingyue sneezed.
