The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

Liu Binglan was curious about what item Wo City’s City Lord had stolen from the royal family, but she didn’t inquire. If he was willing to risk such danger, the object he stole was definitely unordinary.

Liu Binglan remembered that City Lord Lin Xian was trustworthy. She, therefore, figured that the city lord had probably formed some agreement with Yu Suo and when Lin Xian asked her to escort her back to his mountain villa, she nodded her head in agreement.

“Can you walk yourself?” Liu Binglan looked at the weakened Lin Xian.

“Probably,” Lin Xian had suffered a mental wound, but as long as he didn’t pass out, he probably wouldn’t have much of an issue walking.

City Lord Lin Xian could see that Liu Binglan wasn’t used to lending her arm to others.

Lin Xian helplessly shook her head: this woman was the same as before. She didn’t like any stranger touching her.

Of course, Lin Xian was even more confident that if he told her his real identity, her not immediately throwing him off this cliff, let alone lending an arm to him, would mean her temper was way better than before.

Liu Binglan walked beside him while Lin Xian didn’t say anything. He dragged his tired body forwards, and occasionally threw a glance at her face from the side.

Despite many years having passed, her appearance hadn’t changed much. Perhaps it was because she had entered the spirit emperor and spirit immortal rank at a young age, but Lin Xian had never seen any signs of age on her face.

Cold beauty, icy arrogance and an unwillingness to talk. Like an icy lotus slowly blossoming, if anyone wanted to approach her, this person would be injured by the icy aura around her…

Lin Xian was also silent as he walked forwards. However, his mind was slowly filled with those memories from long ago.

It was late at night and silent out. The servants in the villa were all resting.

There was no one on patrol in the villa since the people living in the villa were the strongest group of people in the human realm. What person would be able to escape their perception?

After passing through the villa, they arrived at Lin Xian’s courtyard. Liu Binglan was planning on leaving, but she faintly creased her brows.

“They’ve come again.” Liu Binglan quickly warned Lin Xian.

“They definitely smelled the blood.” Lin Xian thought back about their trip and realized he’d neglected a serious problem.

He looked at the black clothing on him, hastily took it off and threw it into his spatial ring.

After taking off his black clothing, he only had an unlined garment on. It looked like he had just climbed out of bed.

After putting away his clothes, Lin Xian hastily extended his other arm, and placed it next to his mouth before he fiercely bit down.

This bite caused blood to spill out.

Liu Binglan saw Lin Xian’s action and was somewhat confused. Then, Lin Xian suddenly grabbed ahold of Liu Binglan’s windbreaker and pulled it off onto the ground.

Liu Binglan was stunned. But before she could think any further, the two royal family elders from before passed through to the pavilion and flew into the courtyard.

The two elders looked suspiciously at Liu Binglan and Lin XIan. They noticed that Lin XIan’s clothing was a bit weird and looked him over for a long time.

“What are the two of you doing so late at night?” one of the royal family elders sternly asked.

“I should be asking you this!!” Lin Xian seemed extremely angry and stared at the two elders.

“We’re chasing a thief who disappeared nearby… City Lord Lin, Female Supreme Liu, please answer our question.” asked the other royal family elder.

“What do you guys think?” Lin Xian sneered and wrapped his arm around Liu Binglan’s waist.

The two elders were both stunned. After thinking about it, a man and a woman with their jackets on the ground… what else would they be doing at the dead of night?

“We’re sorry for disturbing the two of you. It was because Female Supreme Liu was alone just now and we smelled a stench of blood here.” said the royal family elder.

“Are you talking about this?” Lin Xian extended his other hand and showed the serious bite marks to the two royal family experts.

Lin Xian slowly explained: “I was a bit impulsive just now, and did something rude to a beautiful woman… also, she likes to bite.”

The two royal family elders looked at each other. There were no holes in the words that they could see.

As for the explanation behind biting, aih… young people liking these stimulating things was normal.

These people were visitors and intruding into their courtyards and interrupting their happy occasion was extremely rude.

The two royal family elders didn’t dare stay longer. They turned and left.

Liu Binglan didn’t say anything from start to finish. When she used soul remembrance to sense that the two royal family elders were far away, she calmly looked at Lin Xian and said: “Your ability to tell a lie is very high. You’re like an old friend of mine.”

“Haha.” Lin Xian awkwardly laughed.

Can you take your hand off of me?” Liu Binglan’s had turned cold. This was a sign of anger to come.

“Sorry, sorry.” Lin Xian hastily retracted his hand from Liu Binglan’s waist.

That arm was wounded, and Lin Xian hadn’t deliberately wanted to take advantage of Liu Binglan. He just wanted to use this method to cover his wound and prevent the two royal family elders from seeing it.

Speaking of which, he had grabbed her waist in the past. Was there really a need to get so angry over a small action?

“Goodbye,” Liu Binglan didn’t say anything further to Lin Xian. Since he had safely arrived in his courtyard, her job was finished.

“Many thanks.” Lin Xian watched Liu Binglan turn and leave. When Liu Binglan left, Lin Xian placed his hand next to his cheek and took off his disguise, revealing his original appearance.

As he watched Liu Binglan walk-off, Chu Tianmang helpless shook his head and said: “You’re still so hard to please. Didn’t I just grab your waist?”

When he thought of the days he spent with Liu Binglan when he was young, Chu Tianmang couldn’t help but rub his temples.

This woman was unmoved by force or persuasion and was extremely stubborn. You wouldn’t know how to win over her favor or even when you had offended her. Most importantly, she didn’t like to talk.

If she didn’t talk, how would Chu Tianmang knew what she was thinking about?!

“I shouldn’t have gone to Universe Ice Gates back then,” Chu Tianmang muttered to himself.

… after returning to her room, Liu Binglan changed her clothes.

Lin Xian’s arm was wounded and the blood on her arms had left a mark on her back.

Liu Binglan didn’t like to be touched by strangers. This was related to why she was always received pure and tranquil thoughts in Soul Palace.

However, she felt that something wasn’t right.

Lin Xian’s eyes gave Liu Binglan a familiar feeling. It wasn’t a seemingly familiar pair of eyes, but a pair she knew well!

“He’s the spatial survivor saved by Bai Yu.” Liu Binglan was certain.

However, Liu Binglan also felt that this person wasn’t just that. He was also hiding something.

As for what he was hiding, she couldn’t figure it out.

… on the second day of the conference, all of the representatives and human experts went to their seats.

The seats were still the same as yesterday. Liu Binglan felt a bit uneasy and from the moment she entered the room, she felt a flustered feeling and very uncomfortable.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Madam Huo walked past Liu Binglan’s seat and smiled as she spoke.

Liu Binglan’s ability to ignore someone was very strong. She couldn’t even be bothered to look at Madam Huo and thought about her own matters.

Madam Huo’s eyes turned sharp and she coldly said: “You must have had a good time last night. City Lord Lin is an outstanding man.”

Liu Binglan looked up and glanced at Madam Huo before looking at City Lord Lin Xian who had walked past her.

Lin Xian heard Madam Huo’s words and his steps came to a halt. He glanced over at the two royal family elders sitting high up and smiled as he said: “I thought only the two elders who barged in last night knew about my discussion with Female Supreme Liu about Northern Territory Matters. I’m very curious how Madam Huo knows about this? Could those two elders have spent the rest of the night having a long talk with the gossipy Madam Huo?

New Moon Land was a new faction and still needed to fear Elemental Sect Fire Faction’s influence

However, why did Wo City’s City Lord need to fear her? If Madam Huo were to keep insulting people, Chu Tianmang didn’t mind summoning Darkness Sect people to cripple Madam Huo’s soul remembrance before throwing her to the lowest level of the lowest-grade brothel and have her use her noble body to service those lowly men.

Madam Huo was speechless towards Lin Xian’s words. The surrounding faction representatives all looked over with interest. They wanted to know whether those two proud royal family elders had actually spent the rest of the night “talking” with Madam Huo.

As for the relationship between Wo City City Lord Lin Xian and New Moon Land Female Supreme Liu, there were already rumors of them sleeping together. The two of them had come together to Dual Earth Mountain so who wouldn’t be able to guess that there was something between them? Moreover, City Lord Lin Xian had directly admitted it.

Madam Huo knew she had lost this round, and she scathingly glared at Liu Binglan before quickly returning to her seat.

Once Madam Huo was chased away, Liu Binglan used a mental voice to say to Lin Xian: “City Lord Lin, please watch your words. I have a husband, and I am a mother.”

“Oh, that’s fine. I don’t mind.” Lin Xian shamelessly said.

In fact, while the words Liu Binglan used to reject suitors and maintain her reputation had some effect on others, they were nothing to Chu Tianmang.

She had a husband? Wasn’t the husband Chu Tianmang himself? Although they had been separated for many years, they never actually talked about a divorce.

“I care,” Liu Binglan said very frankly.

“Oh, then I’ll clarify things.” said Lin Xian. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked: “Is there something between you and Magistrate Xiao…”

“My daughter in law saved his father’s life.” coldly said Liu Binglan. She was a bit unhappy Lin Xian asked about this.

“Ok, ok. I’ll try my best to help your New Moon Land in this conference,” said Lin Xian.

“Then I’ll thank you first.”

When he mentioned the conference, Liu Binglan felt anxious again.

Even with Wo City willing to stand on New Moon Land’s side, that was only a few more votes. It would still be difficult to change the actual situation.
