Chapter 102: Guiding to the Ren Family, Spared from Death

"Master… In the future, there's no need to be so direct with your words."

The elder steward of the City Lord's mansion wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead, arising from the awkwardness.

"Fairies, my apologies for my young master's demeanor. If his presence has disrupted you, I shall promptly escort him away."

Subsequently, the steward once again directed his gaze indoors. His pupils slightly contracted, and he bowed respectfully.

Though the steward of the City Lord's mansion seemed unremarkable, his attire casual, he was, in truth, an accomplished expert at the Unity Realm.

Yet, even so, as he looked at Leng Yanran, he felt a palpable pressure. These two fairies within the room, young as they were, one was at the Seventh Heaven of Profound Sky, while the other held Unity Realm prowess.

Within the Eastern Domain, they were undoubtedly geniuses from formidable sects or prodigious families.

Their Xuan Tian City couldn't afford to provoke them. The City Lord himself was but a practitioner of the Annihilation Realm. Though their strength was considered first-rate in the Northern Domain, within the Eastern Domain, they merely constituted a minor city.

"Senior Sister, that guy said he wants to be your dog!"

Li Yourong's bewildered gaze shifted back and forth between Senior Sister and Tian Gou.

"It's a little disgusting… Perhaps it's best to just kill him."

After her initial shock, Leng Yanran's expression showed a hint of displeasure as she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Originally, she had considered letting him guide them to the Ren family's location. However, he had the audacity to request to be her dog right from the start. Was this just the way of the Eastern Domain? Quite peculiar...

"Ahem, two fairies, please disregard the nonsensical ramblings of my family's steward. I was captivated by your beauty at first sight, a profound and sincere affection, an instant rapport, a love that runs deep…"

Tian Gou blocked the steward behind him, immediately launching into an unending display of his erudition… He seemed intent on utilizing every conceivable word in his emotional expression arsenal.

"Splurt!" Suddenly, a sound echoed.

Leng Yanran nonchalantly flicked a wisp of spiritual energy, brushing past his head and leaving a hole in the wall behind him.

"Err… Apologies, apologies. I have disrupted your meal, celestial ladies. Zhang Bo, let's go… Fairies, I'll be waiting downstairs. Once you've finished your meal, I'll be delighted to accompany you around the city. How does that sound?”

A cold sweat bead formed on Tian Gou's forehead. That strike just now… If it had landed on his head, it would have been over for him. He felt a touch of fear but was unwilling to give up…

Before Leng Yanran and Li Yourong could respond, Tian Gou pulled the steward and quickly descended the stairs, waiting outside the door.

"Young master… those two fairies are probably beyond our reach. Allow this old servant to offer some advice—stop courting disaster…"

The steward downstairs was still trembling from the aftermath. He hadn't even reacted in time to Leng Yanran's strike. If she had intended to end the young master's life, he would now be a lifeless body. How would he explain this to the City Lord?

"Never fear, Zhang Bo. I've already detected a hint of wavering in the fairies' eyes! As long as I remain steadfast, I'll undoubtedly capture their hearts!"

Tian Gou remained unperturbed, fantasizing about truly winning the heart of that fairy. He promised himself that if he succeeded, he would change his ways and never be frivolous again!

She is so beautiful… Never in his life had Tian Gou encountered a woman more stunning than that fairy! Coupled with her iceberg-like demeanor, it was as if his heart had been shattered!

In the private chamber…

"Senior Sister, the dog ran away…"

Li Yourong snapped out of his stupor and said, voice vacant.

Meanwhile, she silently wondered whether the elders forbade her to descend from the mountain due to the sheer number of fools below? How could anyone want to become a dog?

Unfathomable, truly unfathomable…

"Are you full?"

Leng Yanran cast a sidelong glance at her junior sister and asked casually.

"Of course! I'm stuffed! Senior Sister, does that mean we're going to fight next? I'm so full now, I feel like I could take on a dragon!"

Li Yourong nodded vigorously, blinking his eyes in response.

"Then let's go. Now that we have our guide-dog, it's time to address the Ren family matter. "After dealing with the Ren family, I'll take you to the Holy Mountain."

Leng Yanran's gaze flicked to the persistent Tian Gou outside, who was continually peeking through the window. She furrowed her brows and continued,

"Though I have no fondness for that fellow, nor do I appreciate his advances, I'd rather not dirty my hands with him. If he successfully leads us to the Ren family, I won't hold his earlier nauseating behavior against him."

In no time, the two of them descended the staircase.

As they reached the ground floor, Tian Gou hurriedly approached, his hand clutching the reins of his spirit-beast bloodline horse, an aerial realm stallion.

"Fairies, you must be fatigued after dining. Why not allow me to escort you on horseback? I'll hold the reins for you while we explore the city. If you find something you like, I'll make sure to purchase it for you."

Tian Gou's face was full of eagerness.

"Not necessary."

Leng Yanran promptly rejected his proposal.

Li Yourong, who had been excited at first, desisted upon hearing her Senior Sister's response. She had been eager to experience the sensation of riding a horse, but her words had a decisive finality that suppressed her enthusiasm.

Leng Yanran silently noted the scene before her, keeping it in her heart. When the opportune time came and suitable spirit beasts could be tamed, she would secure two of them for her junior sister's use.

After returning this time, she planned to venture deep into the Illusory Void Mountain and explore the possibilities.

"That's right, the fairies have just dined. A leisurely stroll would be quite enjoyable! In that case, I shall accompany the fairies on their walk."

Tian Gou blinked in surprise, quickly seizing the opportunity to gracefully exit the situation. He handed the reins of the spirited horse to the nearby steward and took a step back.

"Do you happen to know about the Ren Family in the Eastern Region?" Leng Yanran, no longer interested in his flattery, cut to the chase.

"Ah… Could it be that the fairy is from the Ren Family in the Eastern Region? No wonder the fairy possesses such strength! It seems I was blind!"

The mention of the Ren Family caused both Tian Gou and the steward to inhale sharply, their expressions turning solemn.

After all, the Ren Family boasted a Divinity Separation Realm ancestor, and even a Boundless Realm elder from the Ren Family could easily obliterate their Xuantian City.

If the Ren Family's prodigies were involved, Tian Gou found himself torn – if he played his cards right, this encounter might lead to a leap in status. But if he failed, the consequences could be dire.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are not affiliated with the Ren Family! Tell us where the Ren Family is. My Senior Sister and I are going to fight the Ren Family!"

Li Yourong waved her small fist when she heard the other party's words.

"Eh? The Ren Family is a formidable presence in the Eastern Region. Fairies, please don't be impulsive!"

Hearing this warning, Tian Gou first froze, then hurriedly attempted to dissuade them.

"Lead us to the Ren Family, and your life shall be spared," Leng Yanran's chilling voice pierced the air, her aura emanating a faint threat that sent a shiver down Tian Gou's fr𝒐m freew𝒆bnov𝒆l.c(o)m
