Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Girl, You Can Achieve Great Things

Up ahead, several City Lords arrived together.

Their eyes fell on Dongfang Ruoyu, who stood before them.

Though she was a woman, they wouldn’t dare underestimate her in the slightest.

What a joke!

An Early-Golden Stage Mutant!

Was that something to be taken lightly?

They were all Late-Silver Stage. How could they possibly have the gall to look down on such a powerful figure?

"Everyone, you’ve all arrived?"

Dongfang Ruoyu said with a faint smile, looking at the assembled group.

The men nodded. "City Lord Dongfang, you summoned us. Has something happened?"

Dongfang Ruoyu didn’t answer immediately, her gaze scanning the area.

’It seems the City Lord of Nebula Barrier, Bai Zhixi, isn’t here yet?’

She and Bai Zhixi had met several times. After all, they were both young women who had become City Lords.

Because of this, they had a lot in common and probably had the best relationship among the City Lords of the surrounding barriers.

"The City Lord of Nebula Barrier hasn’t arrived. Let’s head inside the barrier first. I’ll explain everything once everyone is here."

With that, Dongfang Ruoyu led the group into the barrier.

Before leaving, she gave instructions to the guards at the barrier gate.

If the City Lord of Nebula Barrier arrived later, they were to be escorted to the reception hall.

Once they were in the reception hall, Dongfang Ruoyu began to brew tea for her guests.

Her movements were as smooth and practiced as flowing water.

Soon, the fragrant aroma of fine tea filled the room.

They all drank the tea. After a few steepings from the same pot...

「Outside the barrier.」

Ye Yunyi and his group had arrived.

Over by the gate, a guard spotted the Crimson Flame Tiger, his eyes widening in disbelief at what he was seeing.

Instinctively, he moved to sound the alarm drum!

He raised the mallet, but just as it was about to fall, a hand shot out and grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing?!"

"What do you think you’re doing?! Why are you sounding the drum?!"

"Didn’t you see that? That’s an Early-Golden Stage Exotic Beast, a Crimson Flame Tiger!"

"Bullshit! Take a closer look! That’s someone’s mount!"

"What?!"

The guard instantly whipped his head around to look again.

He was stunned!

It was true!

It really was!

There were actually people on the Crimson Flame Tiger’s back!

The guards hurried down to the city gate.

They watched as the Crimson Flame Tiger approached.

With every step the beast took, they could hear their own heartbeats pounding more and more clearly in their ears.

It felt like their hearts were about to leap out of their chests!

After all, this was an Early-Golden Stage Exotic Beast!

"I am the City Lord of Nebula Barrier, here by invitation."

Nebula Barrier!

The guards instantly recalled the instructions their City Lord had given them.

They let out a collective sigh of relief.

’Holy crap.’

’Is the City Lord of Nebula Barrier this badass?’

’She actually has an Early-Golden Stage mount?’

’Huh?!’

"This way, please!"

A guard led the way, and the Crimson Flame Tiger beneath Ye Yunyi followed at a leisurely pace.

On the tiger’s back,

The Han Family Sisters looked around at the sights of Seaside Barrier, their hearts filled with excitement.

’We’re finally back.’

Right then, they were thinking of their father!

And all their relatives in the family!

Seeing their expressions, Ye Yunyi had the Crimson Flame Tiger crouch down to let them off.

"You two can go home first. We’ll come find you after we’ve taken care of our business."

"Okay, thank you, Hubby!" The Han Family Sisters then familiarly made their way toward their home.

「A while later.」

Back in the reception hall, a good deal of tea had been consumed.

The other City Lords were growing impatient.

"Did the City Lord of Nebula Barrier even get the message?"

"Yeah, why aren’t they here yet?"

...

"Don’t tell me they’re putting on airs," a middle-aged male City Lord scoffed. ’Our power levels are all about the same, so what’s with the attitude?’

’Are they too important to show up?’

Dongfang Ruoyu knew Bai Zhixi’s character and figured she must have just received the message late. She spoke up to placate them. "Gentlemen, please be patient. Nebula Barrier is the farthest from here. Let’s just wait a little longer."

Hearing Dongfang Ruoyu say this, the men quieted down.

But, in the next moment!

A panicked voice rang out from outside.

"City Lord! City Lord! The City Lord of Nebula Barrier is here!"

At these words, a smile appeared on Dongfang Ruoyu’s face.

’She’s here!’

Beside her, the other men’s expressions softened slightly. ’Finally,’ they thought.

"Hmph, so they finally decided to show up. I was wondering how much longer we’d have to wait."

Just as the man finished speaking, the messenger added, "But!"

"But what?!"

the man snapped.

’What other trouble could there be?!’

’Nebula Barrier is just one thing after another!’

’Damn it all!’

The messenger fell silent after being shouted at. Dongfang Ruoyu shot the man a glare.

Her beautiful eyes blazed with anger!

The man knew better and shut his mouth.

"But what?"

Dongfang Ruoyu asked.

"But... it seems Nebula Barrier has a new City Lord!

This new City Lord arrived on a mount.

And that mount... is a Crimson Flame Tiger!"

WHOOSH!

In an instant!

Those words struck the room like a clap of thunder!

BOOM!

Everyone felt like their brains had short-circuited!

What?!

’What did that man just say?!’

’Riding a what?’

’We didn’t mishear him, did we? A Crimson Flame Tiger?!’

’The powerful Early-Golden Stage Exotic Beast, the Crimson Flame Tiger?!’

’He must be insane!’

’How is that possible?!’

Dongfang Ruoyu looked at the messenger. "Is that true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Upon receiving confirmation, Dongfang Ruoyu immediately rushed outside!

The other City Lords exchanged glances.

And followed her out!

However, the City Lord who had been complaining earlier stumbled as he walked!

His legs felt weak, and he could barely keep his balance.

When they got outside, Dongfang Ruoyu looked on,

and she froze.

Her eyes went wide as she stared ahead.

Before her was a massive tiger, fifty feet long!

A Crimson Flame Tiger!

’There’s no mistaking it!’

The City Lords who followed her out also stopped dead in their tracks, stunned!

The shock in their hearts was beyond words!

’His mount is at the Early-Golden Stage!’

’Then what level must this new City Lord of Nebula Barrier be?’

’It’s unimaginable!’

’It’s too terrifying!’

Just then, Dongfang Ruoyu saw Ye Yunyi and Bai Zhixi standing beside the Crimson Flame Tiger.

"Huh? Zhixi? You’re not the City Lord anymore? Then..." Dongfang Ruoyu began to ask.

Bai Zhixi introduced him without any hesitation. "He’s the new City Lord. My husband, Ye Yunyi."

As she spoke, Bai Zhixi looped her arm through Ye Yunyi’s.

’Husband?!’

’Holy hell!’

’So you just went and got married!’

’Then what are you even doing here today?’

’To show off your new love life?’

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi turned his gaze to Dongfang Ruoyu.

’Whoa!’

’She really is a devastatingly beautiful woman!’

Ye Yunyi walked over and shook her hand.

’Her hand feels nice. So soft.’

Ye Yunyi looked down at her from his taller stature.

As Dongfang Ruoyu leaned forward slightly for the handshake, a flash of snowy white skin came into Ye Yunyi’s view.

’As expected, not even a qipao can contain those surging waves.’

Ye Yunyi’s eyes followed the deep valley that stretched downward.

’My lady, I can tell you’re a woman destined for big things!’
