"Hearing your conversation, I indeed thought of a tower!" Sacred Fla said and then added, "However, just hearing about it, I cannot be certain whether it is the one!"
"That tower?" Shi Feng asked Sacred Fla, "Could it be that the Martial Arts Sky Tower cos from your era?"
But it probably was, for only an Alchemy Master from the Ancient Period could have crafted a tower with such mysterious functions.
"I’ve said it, just hearing you talk about it, I cannot be sure if it’s that tower. We’ll see after you win first place," Sacred Fla said sowhat impatiently.
After finishing, Sacred Fla’s voice fell silent and he spoke no further.
Not long after, the door to the private room opened, and Shi Jinsuai walked in with a light chuckle, saying to Shi Feng, "It’s all taken care of!"
"Thanks!" Shi Feng nodded.
Then, Shi Jinse said, "I believe I just saw your white tiger dashing toward the Imperial Palace."
"Toward the Imperial Palace?" Hearing Shi Jinsuai’s words, Shi Feng murmured softly and then said, "Let it go if it’s gone." Shi Feng knew that Little Bai had rushed towards the Imperial Palace and must have sensed Jin Mo, going to find her.
However, the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, with many powerful presences. Whether Little Bai, a re Seventh-stage Early Stage Venerable, could et Jin Mo depended on itself.
In the Tianlan Imperial City, at the Imperial Palace!
In an exquisitely beautiful bedroom filled with a subtle, tranquil fragrance, a pale figure sat next to the window, her extrely beautiful face staring at the sky filled with white clouds, lost in a daze.
Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, drifting leisurely with the breeze. As the wind brushed against her and moved on, it still carried an incredibly refreshing, subtle scent.
Outside the Imperial Palace, over ten thousand people were fighting fervently for her, and many had stayed in the Tianlan Imperial City forever just to be with her.
Yet here she was, in a place of utter tranquility, as if cut off from the world.
"Sigh," she looked up at the sky and suddenly lowered her head with a soft sigh. Initially, she had resented her Father Emperor, feeling that she should be the one to choose her own happiness.
However, after being brought back to the Imperial Palace by Marquis Zi Xiao, Zi Xiao, and seeing her Father Emperor express his helplessness, she understood the predicant of the Imperial Family and the Lann Family. She thought, "This might just be my destiny! Born into the Lann Family, to live as a princess of the Tianlan Empire!"
"I really wish I were a daughter of a commoner’s family, able to choose my own happiness, able to be with the man I love based on my own feelings."
When Jin Mo said the words "the man I love," her cheeks suddenly turned crimson. She didn’t know why, but as she spoke those words, the image of a tall and imposing dark silhouette involuntarily appeared in her mind—every ti she looked at him, she felt a deep sense of security.
"And Little Bai!" Imdiately following, the image of the obedient and adorable big white tiger she rembered appeared in her thoughts.
"Roar!" Just then, Jin Mo faintly heard a tiger’s low roar from ahead.
Upon hearing the sound, Jin Mo shook her head self-deprecatingly, muttering, "It seems I’m thinking too much about Little Bai. I’m even starting to hallucinate."
"Roar! Roar!" Soon after, she heard two more tiger’s low roars, much clearer than the sound before.
"Hm?" Jin Mo’s face shifted to an expression of utter astonishnt upon hearing the clearer roars. Then, she slowly lifted her head.
"Eh?" Suddenly, Jin Mo was startled. She saw, right outside her room’s garden, a white figure had appeared. Jin Mo shook her head vigorously, but after doing so, the white figure in the garden was still there—the white tiger’s head directly facing her, its tiger eyes fixed on her.
"Little... Little Bai!" Jin Mo’s astonished face instantly blossod into a gorgeous smile, blooming like a fresh flower, and she stood up from her seat.
She couldn’t believe that thinking of Little Bai would make him actually appear right here. So if Little Bai was here, he... he should have co as well, right?
"Where did this evil beast co from? How dare it sneak into the Imperial Palace! Die by my hand!"
"Soldiers, heed my command! Slay this evil beast!"
"Yes!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a flurry of yelling and killing cries arose from the garden in front of Jin Mo.
"Roar! Roar!" Imdiately followed by the angry roars of a tiger!
Then ca Jin Mo’s delicate shouts, "No! Don’t! You cannot harm Little Bai! Little Bai is a friend of this princess! All of you, retreat for this princess now!"
As Jin Mo’s voice fell, a series of attacks also abruptly ceased.
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
"Princess.. this.."
"As you command!"
"Roar! Roar!"
"Little Bai, co here! Don’t be afraid! As long as I am here, no one can hurt you. Good Little Bai!"
"Little Bai, these past few days, you seem to have lost weight. Have you been suffering?"
"Roar! Roar!"
..
In Tianlan Imperial City, at Ten Thousand Treasures rchant Building.
When Shi Feng regained consciousness from his cultivation once more, a new day had dawned, the sky was not fully bright yet, just sowhat dimly lit.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Not long after, Shi Feng heard knocking at his door—he guessed that aside from Shi Jinsuai, who else could it be?
"Co in!" Shi Feng said.
After Shi Feng’s words, the door was slowly pushed open, and a golden figure walked into the room. It was Shi Jinsuai, who looked at Shi Feng with a beaming smile and said, "Brother Shi, today you are about to embark on a new journey, a new battle! Early this morning, I had the kitchen notified to prepare a sumptuous breakfast banquet for you, to replenish your body!"
After he finished speaking, Shi Jinsuai clapped his right hand against his left hand, making a "pat, pat" sound. Following his claps, a troop of graceful figures entered Shi Feng’s chamber.
All who entered were uniformly attractive maidservants, each with a beauty that could be considered above average, and every one of them carried a platter. Wafts of enticing fragrance spilled out, prompting an instant appetite in anyone who slled it.
Afterward, Shi Jinsuai, looking at Shi Feng, smiled and asked, "Are you pleased?"
In response to Shi Jinsuai’s smiling question, Shi Feng calmly replied, "Let’s eat first and then talk!"
"Surely you’ll be satisfied! Here, taste this! Especially this pot of liquor, I’ve put a lot of thought into it!" As he spoke, Shi Jinsuai took out a white jade liquor pot from his storage ring!
