Chapter 113.1: Demon Sect Leader’s Holy Maiden Concubine (5)
Amidst vibrant reds and pinks, with layers of lush greenery, Jia Ning gracefully glided across the lake’s surface, akin to a gentle breeze flowing through petals. His silver robe trailed behind him, blending seamlessly with the mist, emitting a soft, subtle sheen characteristic of silk.
The enchanting beauty of the lake, resembling a fairyland, quickly receded into the distance. The elegant boat transformed into a tiny, radiant red speck. In every direction, towering ancient trees with expansive canopies seemed to reach for the heavens, creating a natural canopy that covered the sky. Jia Ning’s figure seamlessly weaved through the dense foliage, almost imperceptible within the rich green landscape. He moved like a fleeting silver shadow, akin to a darting electric current, all without disturbing the forest’s wildlife.
The man, who was faster than the wind, arrived at the Gongzhao Palace within moments. This palace perched atop a towering cliff and comprised outer, middle, and inner halls.
Each hall featured offices, meeting rooms, and accommodations for the sect’s high-ranking members. Within the halls, lush courtyards bloomed with exotic flowers and plants, their fragrances dancing in the breeze and creating a distinctive aroma for the Gongzhao Palace.
The cultists stationed outside the palace watched as Jia Ning knelt down and saluted with his right hand over his heart.
After that, despite his inner anxiety, he maintained a focused and unwavering gaze as he briskly entered the outer hall. His composure remained steady, but his steps seemed to gain an almost ethereal swiftness, effortlessly passing through the bows and salutes of the cultists inside the outer hall. With a commanding presence, he advanced into the middle hall and pushed open the doors of the Mirage Pavilion connected to the side of the middle hall.
A mixture of a pungent and sweet scent, combined with an arousing fragrance, rushed towards Jia Ning, making his face appear as if it had frozen in place, locking away all his emotions.
The sounds of moans and pleasure reverberated throughout the pavilion, overwhelming and drowning out even the sound of his heavy footsteps.
As he climbed the stairs, the higher he went, the more challenging it became to lift his feet. It felt as though his legs had turned into lead, and his heart had sunk into a deep valley.
Jia Luo is inside……
He dared not dwell on the scenes inside, yet he had to confront them. The fiery turmoil in his chest felt like it could break free from his body and consume everything in its path.
The top floor of the attic was oppressively warm and humid, supposed to carry a hint of the ocean’s scent, but now filled with an unbearable and pungent odour. Jia Ning clenched his left hand behind his back and opened a folding fan with his right hand. As he walked, he waved it to disperse the nauseating smell. Eventually, he casually seated himself on an intricately carved high-backed chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
“Ah Ning, you’re here.” A naked man emerged from the inner room, his eyes squinting into a narrow slit. With his well-shaped nose, full lips, and a pointed chin, he looked incredibly handsome, resembling a sly fox with a charming smile.
Without bothering to look up, Jia Ning calmly remarked, “Put on your clothes. I’ve told you this countless times; I don’t appreciate seeing naked men. If there’s a next time, be careful of what’s down there.”
“If you castrate me, Jia Luo will be devastated. Besides, what’s the big deal? We’re all men here.” The fox-faced man said while pouring himself a cup of tea and leisurely taking a seat across from Jia Ning, before crossing his legs and sipping his tea.
Jia Ning’s tone remained unfazed as he responded, “Even if I did castrate you, there should be plenty of other options available for her.”
The fox-faced man tensed his legs as the corners of his mouth twitched, before continuing, “Oh my, Lord Left Guardian, you’re so terrifying…” He exaggeratedly shuddered but his lips curved into a suggestive smile, “If Jia Luo made that expression, I would definitely have trouble getting aroused~”
With a loud pop, the fox-faced man deftly caught the teacup that was hurtling towards him, and across from him, Jia Ning maintained his cold gaze, still radiating the same serene elegance, yet clearly exuding a chilling aura.
“Goodness, as one gets older, they become less tolerant of jokes.” The man with the fox-like face grumbled audibly. He carefully placed his teacup down, then rose to his feet and called loudly as he moved toward the inner room, “Jia Ning is waiting outside. Qian, Qiu, Yong, how much longer do you three plan to stay inside?”
“Got it, Bei Hua.” A muffled male voice from the other room replied, followed by the woman’s moans growing increasingly intense. In less than half the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, her moans gradually subsided, replaced by the sound of fabric rustling.
Returning to the room, dressed and proper, Bei Hua, with his fox-like smiling face, seemed even more captivating. He sat back in the chair opposite Jia Ning, waiting for the three people inside to come out.
The hierarchy within the Shindai Sect starts with the Sect Master, followed by the Left and Right Guardians. Below them, there were four Hall Masters, namely North, South, East, and West that oversee matters within their respective hall territories. TaiSu Island was vast, and each Hall Master supposedly guarded different parts of it, keeping outsiders at bay. However, in recent years, they have been frequently dispatched from the island to carry out orders, hence rarely appearing within the valley.
To have the four hall masters gathered at the island at the same time, was a really rare occurrence.
