That's What Villains Are Like

The news that Jiang Lan, the son of Xiangguo Mansion and the husband-in-law of the contemporary Emperor Xia, who was appointed as Phoenix Lord, came to Feixian Island in person, soon spread like wings among all the great immortal sects and aristocratic families.

To be honest, this was beyond many people's expectations. In many people's perception, Jiang Lan had a distinguished status after all, so taking risks so easily was not something he would do.

Many people began to speculate whether there would be other arrangements by the Prime Minister.

Or is it for other reasons?

While all parties were speculating and discussing, Jiang Lan was already heading to the arranged mansion under the leadership of the four kings.

At the Jie Feng Xi Chen banquet, the four kings were extremely flattering. If not for Jiang Lan's special status, he was already the husband-in-law of the Xia Emperor, otherwise they would have arranged for young women from the clan to accompany him and serve him wine.

During the banquet, the four kings were all talking about the customs and customs of Feixian Island and did not mention the Demon Abyss.

Jiang Lan was not in a hurry to ask. He came to Feixian Island not really intending to investigate the demonic disaster.

A demonic disaster will break out, which cannot be stopped by human power.

Even if the ancient Three Saints reappeared in the world, it would be impossible to stop all this. The demonic energy accumulated over many years has already reached a terrifying level.

The depths of the Demonic Abyss are connected to an alien plane, and the demonic creatures in it are countless.

Today's Demonic Abyss, which is equivalent to the embankment of a river, has already opened a hole. The three ancient saints used many methods to patch and seal the hole before solving the demonic disaster.

As a long time passed, more cracks appeared around the gap, expanding and spreading deeper into the space-time plane. At the moment when the dike burst and collapsed, the cracks would only be far larger than before.

The scale of the outbreak of demonic disaster far exceeded that of the ancient Three Saints.

It's useless for anyone to stop it.

Whether the barbarians destroy it or not, it actually won't have much impact on the final demonic disaster.

However, Jiang Lan would definitely not say these words to Emperor Xia. After all, he still had to risk his own life to gain favor and seize the ancient talisman of freedom deep in the Demon Abyss.

This banquet naturally seemed like the guests and hosts were having a great time.

After it was over, King Zhong said that tomorrow he would sort out all the changes in Moyuan's records during this period and let Jiang Lan take a look.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly, not in a hurry.

He originally thought that these people would work against each other, and he might encounter some troubles, but since he left the war ship and saw the four kings personally greeting them with a large number of people, he could tell... I'm afraid the four Wang has been threatened and frightened by others.

As for who it will be, you can guess it without even using your brain.

Jiang Ruxian should have learned his whereabouts from Emperor Xia, so she followed him, but judging from her current unfathomable cultivation strength, it was actually very simple to tear the void apart and get there first.

Jiang Rushian is currently in this mansion.

"I have already ordered someone to arrange your lord's sleeping quarters."

After the banquet was over, it was already after Yin Shi, so the four kings respectfully withdrew and did not disturb Jiang Lan's rest.

As for Ao Yin, Kong Xuan and others, they were arranged to rest in a wing of the courtyard in the other direction.

They all seemed very taciturn along the way. Jiang Lan did not take the initiative to give instructions, and they would not take the initiative to ask questions. They were mainly arrogant.

When they met that day, although he used force to intimidate them, they still didn't recognize him in their hearts.

Jiang Lan didn't care at all about this. He had plenty of time to slowly train them and make them obedient.

Especially Ao Yin, the princess of the Dragon Tribe.

"Sir, please come with the slaves."

A graceful girl in palace clothes leads the way holding a golden lantern.

Followed by several similarly dressed young girls with their hair in buns, they were holding incense burners, clothes, bathrobes, fruit plates and candied fruit tea.

The bedroom is very large, luxuriously decorated with gold and red flowers, and the hanging curtains around the bed are like clouds and mist.

There is also a bathing pool carved out of bluestone in the depths. The water mist is steaming and misty, making it look like a fairyland on earth.

Jiang Lan took one look and knew King Zhong's intention, but he didn't care. When it was time to enjoy it, he had to enjoy it.

These are all taken for granted.

Under the service of several girls, he quickly changed into a bathrobe and soaked in it.

There are some petals with soothing fragrance floating on the pool, which makes it easy to relax.

He put his arms on the edge of the pool and leaned there as if he were lying on his stomach. He rested his head on his forearms and closed his eyes slightly. He was a little tired and tired from running around for the past few days and thinking about the many plans ahead.

Several girls took off their outer robes, wearing only a pair of underwear, and slid into the pool, gently squeezing his shoulders behind him.

Looking at his jade-like white and crystal-clear skin on his back, several people's faces felt a little hot, and their legs soaked in the pool tightened slightly.

Rebuilding its foundation with the Immortal Creation Dew, Jiang Lan's body has already reached a level of purity that is comparable to innateness. It is like God's most perfect masterpiece, exuding the natural fragrance of Taoism at all times.

If an ordinary person takes a bite of his flesh and blood, it can extend their life.

The girls were still young and didn't understand what this meant. They only knew that the Jiang Lan in front of them was the most handsome man they had ever seen.

He couldn't help but turn red just by staring at him. He could only say that it was no wonder he was appointed as Phoenix Lord by the Empress of Great Xia.

However, they were also very sensible. Without Jiang Lan's signal, they did not dare to make any bold moves, nor did they expect to be favored. They all behaved themselves.

You'er was wearing a black dress, hiding in the darkness like a shadow, her eyes fixed on the pool, as if she was going to stop any of the girls from doing anything inappropriate.

Although Jiang Lan was not an ascetic, he really had no interest in these girls.

However, the strength of their kneading was quite appropriate. After relaxing, I felt a little groggy and wanted to sleep. I wonder if it was because of the relaxation of my mind, or because of the petals in the pool?

Jiang Lan's thoughts became drowsy for a moment. Soon, his slightly closed eyelids became deeper and deeper, and he seemed to have really fallen asleep.

Seeing that Jiang Lan seemed to be sleeping, the girls looked at each other and hesitated, fearing that if they moved too much they would wake him up, they were thinking about whether to retreat quietly.

But he saw a woman in white appearing silently beside the steaming bluestone bathing pool.

Her face seemed to be shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly, but the only thing visible was a pair of eyes that were brighter and more beautiful than the stars.

Several girls were shocked. They had never seen this woman in white before. They thought she was an assassin and were about to shout.

But when the woman in white waved her jade hand, invisible ripples spread throughout the air, and they seemed to be frozen there, unable to do anything except blink.

The next moment, the woman in white waved her hand again, and they seemed to be wrapped up by a huge force. They flew out of the bathhouse silently, landed outside the palace, and passed out on the spot.

The same was true for You'er, who was not far away, and was thrown out of the palace.

The woman in white has picturesque facial features, emerald green eyebrows, an immortal face, ice-cold muscles and jade bones, as if she were an immortal who walked out of the Guanghan Palace.

Any words in the world to describe her beauty would seem to be overshadowed and difficult to describe.

It was Jiang Ruxian.

She walked quietly to the edge of the bathtub, and then sat down on the side. She put her hands in front of her legs, tilted her head, and looked at Jiang Lan. Her crystal-clear, delicate, beautiful and white bare feet were soaked in the pool, letting the water wash over her. Her skirt was wet.

"Even in my sleep, my brows are furrowed..."

"Since when did it become like this that you need to be vigilant at all times?"

Jiang Rushian sighed softly, her tone full of distress, and stretched out her hand to gently smooth Jiang Lan's eyebrows.

Jiang Lan seemed to have fallen into sleep at this time, unaware of this.

The brows that were always frowning slowly relaxed as Jiang Rushian's fingers gently caressed her, and her whole demeanor became a little peaceful and peaceful.

Jiang Ruxian kept looking at him, running her fingers along the center of her eyebrows, stroking the face, as if she had thought of something, and her eyes as clear as the moon showed a bit of mist-like confusion.

"Alan..."

She murmured softly and gently kneaded his eyebrows with her hands, just like when he was in trouble and needed comfort when he was young.

It's a pity that time like that can no longer be returned.

The next moment, Jiang Rushian, whose thoughts were distracted and slightly dazed, was suddenly startled.

A warm and powerful hand grasped the slender Rouyi that was being kneaded between his eyebrows. It was obvious that the force was not strong, but it was held tightly as if he did not want to let go.

Jiang Ruxian looked at Jiang Lan's subconscious action, a helpless and gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "It's still the same as before, you have to hold my hand, so you can rest assured?"

"Don't worry, I won't leave. Just have a good sleep."

She knew Jiang Lan would not wake up, this was just a subconscious move in his sleep.

But only in dreams can he reveal his thoughts and actions so truly.

It is obvious that in reality, he dislikes and hates himself so much that he wants to draw all boundaries with himself, even if he digs out the Exquisite Immortal Heart with Seven Apertures and returns it to himself, so that he will no longer have anything to do with him.

But in the dream, he still refused to let go of his hand. Instead, he held it tighter than ever...

"Actually, you are also struggling and helpless in your heart. I understand all of this..."

"It's all because of me, it's my fault."

"But I believe that one day we will finally be able to resolve the differences and get back on good terms."

Jiang Rushian looked at Jiang Lan, gently turned sideways, bent down, and changed to a reclining posture, then gently raised his head and let it rest on her lap, then showed a satisfied smile.

The news of Daxia Fengjun's personal visit to Feixian Island has already spread among the major families on the island, and the three major guardian families are no exception.

At this time, in the small world of the Tantai family, several elders were gathering in the conference hall to discuss matters.

"The Great Xia Dynasty attaches great importance to Moyuan. This is a good thing. The four princes usually don't show up at all, but today they all came to greet him. This is strange."

"The four princes no longer respect the Great Xia Dynasty as much as before. I guess the four princes only got the news that Jiang Lan was coming to Feixian Island not long ago, so they hurried to greet him..."

"Haha, they are not giving face to the Great Xia Dynasty, but to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Without the support of the Prime Minister's Government on commodity prices, they would no longer be qualified to establish a foothold on Feixian Island based on the resources they occupy. How could they be qualified to be ranked alongside our three great families?"

"The Prime Minister's Mansion and my Tantai family also have many business contacts. More than 90% of the Yangyan gold mine and Chihuo silver mine mined by our family are directly traded with the Changlong Merchant Alliance, eliminating the need for transportation to Zhongtian. The freight and losses were incurred by the state, but the prime minister’s government suppressed the price too hard, so he shipped it to the weapon-refining sects and aristocratic families in Zhongtian state, and resold it for several times the profit.”

"Relying on these business routes, the Prime Minister's Mansion has made a lot of money in recent years, otherwise it would not be able to support so many customers."

"Thanks to You Ming'er's operation, my Tantai family's chamber of commerce has completely suppressed the Gongsun family's and Helian's chamber of commerce in the past few years..."

In this hall, there is also a young man standing, with brocade clothes and embroidered satin, handsome features, tall figure, and a folding fan on his waist, which looks a bit romantic.

Hearing the praise from several elders, he waved his hands hurriedly and said, "All of this still depends on my sister's guidance and planning behind the scenes. It is not my fault alone."

The young man's name was Tantai Ming. He was Tantai Qing's younger brother and a compatriot from the same mother. His words were full of admiration for his sister.

When several elders heard this, they did not deny it. They all sighed, "Qing'er is not only amazing in cultivation talent, but also has an extremely strong business acumen. Tomorrow you will have to be guided by Qing'er. From now on, I will leave the Tantai family's chamber of commerce to you." ”

Tantai Ming cupped his hands and said, "My grandson will definitely live up to the great respect of all the elders."

"Sister, she has learned that Jiang Lan, the Prime Minister's Mansion, has come to Feixian Island, and told me to find a suitable time tomorrow to visit and make friends in person."

"It is beneficial to my Tantai family to have good relations with the Prime Minister's Mansion at the moment, so my grandson came here tonight to ask the elders to agree to my grandson's permission to go to the clan's treasure house to pick out a few valuable items and bring them as a visiting gift tomorrow. "

After hearing this, several elders nodded and said, "It seems that Qing'er is thoughtful. The prime minister's family has a great cause, and he controls all the trade routes in Feixian Island and the interior."

"That Jiang Lan is the future heir to the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you like him and form a good relationship, maybe our Tantai family can get some benefits from his fingers and monopolize Feixian Island in the future..."

"I'll wait for this."

Tantai Ming suddenly smiled and then left.

But in his heart, he was thinking about the several valuable treasures that his sister had specially told him. Except for two of them, the other one was going to be sent to her.

However, he did not mention this matter in front of the elders.

The Tantai family is a family of saints, with a large family and a great business, intricate roots and numerous factions.

Even though her sister is extremely talented and has already caught up with many elders in strength, she cannot easily ask for the treasures in the clan's treasury, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the crowd.

Soon, Tantai Ming turned into a stream of light and headed towards the mountain peak where the clan's treasure house was located, intending to choose gifts.

Although he didn't take Jiang Lan seriously, his sister sent a message to warn him not to underestimate him.

The young figures who followed Jiang Lan during the day were all well-known young supreme beings in Beihai, and they were invincible beings who could conquer any side.

There is obviously a reason why these young supremes would surrender and follow Jiang Lan.

However, Tantai Ming still didn't care much about this. He felt that those young supremes were just intimidated by the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and followed him.

According to rumors, he was just a playboy and became the Fengjun of Great Xia with a good background and skin.

In the dead of night, the triangular pier of Feixian Island is not as lively as it is during the day. There are many large cargo ships parked on the shore. They are dark and dimly lit, like giant beasts in the sea. Only the waves crash on the rocks, making a rumbling sound.

A young man dressed in coarse linen clothes, who was called Dog Tooth, lived on the lowest level of the merchant ship with many coolie slaves.

At this time, when he saw that everyone was asleep, he pushed open the ship's plank, walked out, and disappeared quickly like a ghost.

A moment later, he appeared in a town not far from the dock. Everything was completely silent. Only a few houses were still lit with lights. His figure flashed past like a dim light, and he entered a dilapidated, dilapidated house. In a brick building overgrown with weeds.

There was a dry well inside the brick house, which was covered by weeds and vines. He jumped and disappeared directly into the dry well.

This is a teleportation array that has existed for some time.

After a period of dizziness, the young man's figure appeared in an unknown underground palace. Shark oil lamps were lit in the corridor. The air did not have the fishy smell of the sea, but was extremely dry.

In the depths of this underground palace, there is a high platform, and a figure covered in black robes sits quietly on it. There is a huge and endless aura around his body, which is so oppressive that people seem to kneel down. Come down and bow down.

After the young man arrived here, he saluted respectfully and said, "Disciple has met the master."

The figure in black robe seemed to have opened his eyes, but there seemed to be a blank under the robe, with nothing there except mental fluctuations.

But the young man knew that this was just a clone of the master's mind and had no entity.

"Wen'er, you sent a message to Yu Weishi during the day. Weishi has already understood that Jiang Lan's father, Jiang Lintian, was my great enemy back then. He also made me lie dormant in the depths of the Demonic Abyss for many years, silently licking his wounds. , with a view to recovering the culprit.”

The black-robed figure spoke, and his words sounded somewhat elegant and magnetic. He seemed to be a wise man with profound knowledge, giving people the feeling that the ocean is boundless and can accommodate everything.

"Does Master want to take revenge on him now?" the young man asked.

"Jiang Lintian knew that I was not dead, yet he dared to let his son come to Feixian Island. He was obviously confident and not afraid of revenge for his master. On the contrary, he probably planned to use his son as a bait to lure his master to show up." Black Robe The figure said.

The young man said solemnly, "This Prime Minister Jiang Lintian is indeed cunning. He is willing to let his son be a bait and take such risks. I wonder how such a young powerful man who was born with a golden key would come to such a remote and dangerous place overseas. "

The figure in black robe shook his head and said, "Jiang Lintian is not cunning, he is very confident in himself. Besides, don't underestimate his son. After all, he is the descendant of him and... Li Qingshu."

At this point, there seemed to be a slight pause in his tone, as if he had thought of something, and his tone was slightly complicated.

"Then just let it go?" the young man asked.

The black-robed figure said calmly, "My enemy is Jiang Lintian, not his son. There is no benefit in attacking him. I don't care about this in advance. The three major families have sent younger generations to patrol the Demon Abyss in the past few days. Tantai Qing's actions It is even more imperative for today’s young leaders to do so.”

"This might be a good opportunity for you to get revenge."

When the young man heard this, deep hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he cursed angrily in a low voice, "This bitch..."

The Tantai family, the Gongsun family, and the Helian family where he originally belonged, as the three guardian families of Feixian Island, have been sitting here to guard the Demonic Abyss.

In this generation, a talented girl named Tantai Qing appeared in the Tantai family. On the day of her birth, there were strange phenomena in the sky, spiritual springs gushing from the ground, white cranes offering treasures, monkeys delivering fruits, and colorful mist on the horizon. There are palaces and pavilions hidden among them, and the stars are shining, as if the ancient heaven has come to the world.

Some monks even said bluntly that they saw Xuannv's phantom that day, smiling slightly at the place where the Tantai family was...

Various factors have made Tantai Qing possible, making her the most eye-catching existence on Feixian Island at a young age.
