617 Nine-Tailed Fox Demon
The hostility between Jiang Ming and Liu Changqing quickly spread, causing many people to look askance at them.
In fact, this was not the real Dragonâs Gate Banquet venue. It was the periphery. There were a large number of guards watching. Jiang Ming looked at this scene and immediately glanced at Liu Changqing.
âYoung Master Liu, if you still donât plan to leave, I donât mind attacking you directly. Letâs see who these guards will help if we get into an altercation.â
Liu Changqing, who was smiling, suddenly changed his expression. He did not expect Jiang Ming to be so overbearing.
âDonât be too presumptuous, Ning Caichen. This is not a place you can come to!â
Liu Changqing shouted, trying to intimidate Jiang Ming, but the latter just smiled calmly. His mana gradually fluctuated, attracting many soldiers to look over.
Liu Changqingâs expression changed again, and he glared at Jiang Ming.
âYouâre very smart. Ning Caichen, if youâre strong enough, then hide here and donât go out. Otherwise, donât cry and beg for mercy when I defeat you!â
Liu Changqing left angrily. He was not afraid of these guards, but they were backed by the mayor and many of the aristocratic families.
Once he made a move, he would anger these people. He could not lose this opportunity to attend the Dragonâs Gate Banquet for someone like Ning Caichen.
Of course, the most important point was that he had relied on others to qualify to be invited to the Dragonâs Gate Banquet this time. Once he was expelled, he would look stupid in front of his backer.
Jiang Ming did not care about Liu Changqingâs threat. He had long known that the princess would try to kill him. He also knew that the princess did not attack him for Liu Changqing, but for more power.
âMaster Ning, do you want me to help you solve this problem?â
Liu Sheng lowered his voice. He was just a Nascent Soul Realm prodigy. It would be easy for him to get rid of him. No one would even dare to blame him.
Jiang Ming was stunned and subconsciously looked at Liu Sheng.
âThis guy actually dared to attack the young master of the Divine Eye Sect?â
âLooks like the Dragonâs Gate Inn isnât just a simple inn in Dragonâs Gate Town. It is stronger than it looks.â
Just as Jiang Ming was deep in thought, the second act of the Dragonâs Gate Banquet began. Now, everyone could enter.
Jiang Ming arrived at the Dragonâs Gateâs banquet venue and quickly took his seat.
In the beginning, there were still many guests coming and going, but this corner quickly became much quieter.
âIs this how you treat Mr. Ning? The Dragonâs Gate Town sure is audacious!â
Zhu Anâan had always been smart. Although she seemed to be making trouble, she actually wanted to see how Liu Sheng would respond. From there, she could deduce the attitude of Liu Sheng and the others, especially the person behind them, toward them.
Hearing Zhu Anâanâs words, Liu Sheng immediately smiled and said, âMiss Anâan, please calm down. Weâre not neglecting the two of you. Itâs just that all the seats for the Dragonâs Gate Banquet have been decided long ago. I had no choice. After all, the two of you were added to the list at the last minute.â
Jiang Ming seemed to cooperate and nodded. âSupervisor Liu is right. We suddenly came to Dragonâs Gate Town. Itâs our honor to be invited. Naturally, we should not ask for anything else.â
âWhat a little fox.â
Liu Sheng seemed to be smiling, but he was cursing in his heart. How could he not see through Jiang Mingâs true thoughts? In fact, Zhu Anâan did not care about the lack of respect at all. Her purpose was to judge their attitude toward Ning Caichen.
Jiang Ming did not care that the other party had seen through their thoughts and continued, âOh right, according to my understanding, the Dragonâs Gate Town seems to have invited quite a number of people to this banquet. Other than the Divine Eye Sect, who else have you invited from the various factions in the Feather Kingdom?â
âNaturally, we didnât invite anyone. After all, other than Reverend Mo, none of those people are good enough to be invited.â
âThen why is Liu Changqing here?â
Jiang Ming frowned in confusion.
In the vast Feather Kingdom, no one was good enough to be invited except for Mo Lingche. Therefore, how could Liu Changqing be qualified? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAh, itâs all because of the princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom. If he hadnât managed to hook up with her, and if he hadnât entered the Cultivation Alliance to cultivate and become friends with some important figure, he wouldnât have been qualified to come here.â
Liu Sheng laughed. How could he not understand Jiang Mingâs thoughts? He just wanted to see how he and the others treated the various forces in the Feather Kingdom.
Liu Changqing and Master Ning also had a lot of bad blood between them, which was why Jiang Ming asked so many questions. Otherwise, Liu Changqing would not have caught his attention.
âMaster Ning has many thoughts and isnât a good person. If I say something wrong, he might just leave. I definitely canât let him leave just like that. After all, heâs the person that the lord specifically wanted to see. Once he leaves, I wonât feel good either.â
Liu Sheng could not help but sigh. They were both humans, but the difference between them was too great.
Jiang Ming glanced at him and retracted his gaze. He could not be bothered to continue paying attention to him.
He was obviously not a good person.
âIf I could, I would like to leave, but who is the person behind Liu Sheng? Why does he insist on seeing me? If he wants to see me, then he can meet me directly. Is there a need for me to attend this Dragonâs Gate Banquet?â
Jiang Ming could not understand. At this moment, Liu Sheng suddenly said, âMaster Ning, my boss wants to see you.â
Jiang Ming followed without hesitation. When he saw the other party, he was stunned.
âA woman?â
Women were fine. This was not the secular world, where only men were respected.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there were many stunning women. In ancient times, there was even an empress who suppressed all Saints and became the supreme being of the Lower Realm.
However, this woman was different from ordinary women.
âA transformed demon!â
This was a demoness!
Jiang Ming swallowed. He could not tell the womanâs background, so he could only nod and say, âGreetings.â
âHehe, thereâs no need to be so polite, Mr. Ning. Itâs a little presumptuous of me to invite you to the Dragonâs Gateâs banquet this time.â
Jiang Ming immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, âMaâam, thereâs no need to be like this. Itâs my greatest honor to receive your invitation.â
âDo you really think so?â
The demoness chuckled, her graceful demeanor causing one to involuntarily gulp.
What a peerless demoness. She was probably a vixen.
At this moment, the demoness suddenly spoke, âI am Bai Ruoning, from the Bai family of Qing Qiu.â
A fox demon!
âAnd sheâs not just any fox demon. It is said that the Bai family of Qing Qiu has a powerful bloodline of fox demons, and there is no lack of nine-tailed foxes or even nine-tailed sky foxes! I wonder what background Bai Ruoning comes from. Is she an ordinary fox demon or a nine-tailed fox demon?â
