627: Chapter 620: Qing Yi Charm 627: Chapter 620: Qing Yi Charm The young lady in green dress was immaculately tidy, dressed in a simple and graceful green outfit, with her black glossy hair tied back only by a circle of white fluffy hairband, and her face veiled in light green silk, with no other adornnts on her entire body.
Such a style of dressing should have been very innocent, but amidst this innocence, the girl’s gait and posture unintentionally attracted the gaze of every man present.
Each step she took, each movent of her arms, seed effortlessly to showcase the proud aspects of a woman—be it her hips, her chest, or her curves—alluring as it was natural.
It made everyone in the hall follow her movents with their eyes.
This naturally occurring allure reminded Ye Zhen of Deviless Luo Yingzi, whom he had encountered more than a year ago in the Secret Realm of Demon Souls.
However, the allure of Luo Yingzi was completely different from that of the young lady in green.
If Luo Yingzi was a ripe peach that made any man want to bite fiercely into it, then the young lady in green was an apple with a blush, a re glance at which could make soone salivate.
Most fatally, the innocent appearance tinged with frailty, the allure demonstrated in every movent, and the vaguely visible beauty under the green veil, stirred an instinctual impulse in any man.
Therefore, the mont the young lady in the green veil entered the hall, everyone’s gaze fixed on her, including Duan Yingnian.
The tense atmosphere in the hall instantly evaporated, accompanied by the sound of several swallows of saliva.
Ye Zhen’s expression was sowhat strange, as he was sure that the bright eyes revealed by the young lady in green felt oddly familiar.
Yet Ye Zhen racked his brains but could not rember where he had seen those bright eyes.
What surprised Ye Zhen even more was that he could not sense the specific cultivation level or the Divine Soul Power of the young lady in green—aning her Cultivation and Divine Soul Power were definitely superior to Ye Zhen’s, and not by a small margin.
After all, Ye Zhen could still sense the aura of cultivation from Martial Artists at the First and Second Stage of Vein Forging Realm.
“Hahaha!
Who would have thought that at Master Yang’s dinner tonight, I would encounter such a peerless beauty.
It is truly a lifeti’s fortune, a lifeti’s fortune!”
“I am Duan Yingnian, Guardian Sect Commander of the Longevity Sect.
May I have the honor of knowing your esteed na, Miss?”
Amid the laughter, Duan Yingnian rose up, his robust aura as a Fifth Realm Martial Artist of Vein Forging Realm barely concealed, and his gaze unabashedly fixed on the young lady in green, his deanor clearly smitten.
Seeing the eager gazes of many n in the hall, the young lady in green quietly responded, “My last na is Hu, and my first na is Qing Tong.”
“Hu Qing Tong?
What a fine na, what a fine na!” While praising her, Duan Yingnian reached out and drew a chair silently flying from a distance, which lightly landed beside him, and then he smiled at Hu Qing Tong, “Miss Hu, since we’ve t, it must be fate.
Please, take a seat!”
Duan Yingnian’s move left several young Martial Artists including Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu dumbfounded.
Apparently, dealing with a favored young lady could also be done with such cheekiness: a tough deanor, everything arranged in advance, and full of praises.
Under such circumstances, most young girls with tender feelings, even if reluctant, would probably sit down as arranged by Duan Yingnian.
Once seated beside him, the close proximity often ant having the upper hand.
Next, it would depend on Duan Yingnian’s skills.
Today, the middle-aged uncle Duan Yingnian gave the young people present a good lesson on how to pursue the girl they liked—with boldness and thick-skinned tactics.
Unfortunately, fate was not on his side.
If Hu Qing Tong’s response to Duan Yingnian’s first question was out of politeness and upbringing, her refusal to accept Duan Yingnian’s seating arrangent showcased her own character.
After Duan Yingnian made the gesture to invite, Hu Qing Tong didn’t even glance at him; her beautiful eyes scanned the area and she imdiately began searching for a place to sit.
After a brief look around, Hu Qing Tong’s gaze paused on Ye Zhen, and gracefully moving, she drifted towards Ye Zhen, completely ignoring Duan Yingnian who was still posing invitingly.
His face instantly caught fire with embarrassnt.
Today’s blunder was monuntal.
Usually, no matter the occasion, as long as he displayed his position within the Longevity Sect and flaunted his cultivation, which female Martial Artist without solid backing wouldn’t hurriedly cozy up to him?
What made Duan Yingnian’s face turn livid was Hu Qing Tong’s choice to sit beside anyone but Ye Zhen.
Just monts ago, he was at loggerheads with Ye Zhen, and this was a blatant slap in the face.
For a mont, Duan Yingnian even suspected whether Hu Qing Tong was arranged by Ye Zhen specifically to embarrass him.
However, the next mont, everyone was taken aback.
Even as Hu Qing Tong floated near Ye Zhen, there was no movent from him, let alone fetching a chair for this city-toppling beauty.
Many there wished they could throw Ye Zhen over, and take his place to show their attentiveness.
However, Hu Qingtong was even more generous than Ye Zhen had imagined.
She gave him a slight smile, her delicate hand gestured in the air, and she drew a chair close to her from midair, sitting gently beside Ye Zhen.
Not only did she sit next to Ye Zhen, but she also sat very close to him, as if intentionally so.
Ye Zhen didn’t even have to sniff to catch the enticing fragrance emanating from her.
As the fragrance filled his nose, Ye Zhen suddenly felt parched and his blood rushed faster.
He cald his mind and focused to control this surge of restless emotions.
“How should I address you, young master?” Hu Qingtong’s voice suddenly rang in Ye Zhen’s ear.
Just as he had cald himself, Ye Zhen frowned slightly, “Do we know each other?”
The familiarity he sensed from earlier, coupled with Hu Qingtong’s initiative to move closer to him, had put Ye Zhen on guard.
He was confident, but not so confident as to think that his re appearance would compel a stunning girl to move closer.
“Young master, just take a look outside and you’ll understand,” she replied.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen was startled, then turned to look out the window.
Outside the window was a large open area, where the demon beasts of the martial artists who had passed the initial selection were gathered.
Ye Zhen’s Cloud Winged Tiger King was there too, and he did not wish to reveal the Tiger King Kitten’s Universe Wishing secret technique in front of everyone.
He glanced only once but then froze, his old face growing sowhat hot.
Outside, Ye Zhen’s Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was eagerly snuggling up to a Silver-horned Profound Ice Tiger with a faint icy-blue coat.
It wasn’t just a casual approach; the Tiger King Kitten was nuzzling up to the Profound Ice Tiger with drool flowing, a completely besotted expression on its face.
In an instant, Ye Zhen sowhat understood why Hu Qingtong had approached him—it turned out that his demon servant was harassing hers.
However, this scene appeared quite strange to everyone else.
The aura emitted by the Silver-horned Profound Ice Tiger was a heavenly level middle grade, and yet here was the upper-grade earth level Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, insistently moving towards it, the Ice Tiger seemingly sowhat afraid of the Tiger King Kitten, enduring its advances.
“Well…
my surna is Ye, and my given na is Zhen,” Ye Zhen said hesitantly, unsure how to address the situation.
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to inform Young Master Ye that if my Silver-horned Profound Ice Tiger injures your demon servant, please don’t bla ,” Hu Qingtong spoke.
“Uh, that won’t happen…”
“Kitten, stay away from that Silver-horned Profound Ice Tiger.
Be careful it doesn’t hurt you,” Ye Zhen warned the kitten with his Divine Sense.
Just then, the senior brother from the Beast Taming Sect who had been presiding over the initial selection also stepped into the hall.
“Sorry, sorry.
There were simply too many participants in the initial selection; thank you for your patience.
However, the initial selection has ended, and it won’t be long before the dinner set by the Master.
Next, we will select six individuals from among you to have dinner with my Master, and additionally, the selected six will each have a chance to ask my Master one question for free,” he announced.
“Mister Ma, could you explain how the reselection works, who will screen, and how?” Duan Yingnian, not holding back, asked on behalf of everyone else.
Addressed as Mister Ma, the senior brother from the Beast Taming Sect slightly smiled and bowed respectfully to Duan Yingnian, “Commander Duan, the reselection has two criteria, the second of which will be personally screened by our master.
In other words, who gets to attend tonight’s dinner will be personally decided by our master, guaranteeing fairness.”
“That’s good to hear.
And the first condition?” Duan Yingnian asked once more.
Upon hearing this, Mister Ma from the Beast Taming Sect smiled and bowed to everyone in the hall, “You may have heard of the rules set by my Master.
Since my Master has always been preparing to rebuild the Beast Taming Sect, tonight’s dinner will require a certain fee; please understand,” he explained.
“A fee?” Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu slightly furrowed his brow, “How much?”
“Five hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals!
To dine with my Master and gain the privilege to ask a question, you’ll need to prepay a fee of five hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals to participate in the second screening,” he continued.
“Five hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals?” Upon hearing this, several martial artists’ expressions changed.
It wasn’t a small sum.
“However, my master stated that he would force no one!
Any martial artist willing and able to afford the mid-grade Spirit Crystals can partake in the direct screening by my master, and if selected, then pay the crystals.
Those unwilling may leave now; we will not make it difficult for anyone,” the senior disciple from the Beast Taming Sect explained clearly, which seed to Ye Zhen to be a normal affair.
Rarity commands value, and given that the Beast Taming Sect was wiped out, they needed help from Master Yangh and other choices were limited, so charging five hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals was not too excessive.
However, so still could not bear it.
After a few monts, three martial artists walked out of the hall with so regret showing on their faces; perhaps they were just short of funds.
Ma Yue from the Beast Taming Sect did not seem displeased and sent off each of them with a smile.
“Alright, everyone, since the rest of you agree to pay the fee upon selection, let’s start the second round of reselection.
Who will go first?”(To be continued.
