Chapter 1559: Chapter 956: Imaginary Enemy
Emperor Huanfen glanced at Liu RuYan, then at Old man Lin, saying nothing, but the aning in his eyes was quite clear.
He was inquiring about Liu RuYan’s identity.
Old man Lin caught Emperor Huanfen’s look, imdiately understood, and patted his head, just about to introduce them.
The latter took a few steps forward, smiling charmingly as she bypassed Old man Lin, responding:
“Honored guest, I am the mistress of this village; you may call … Miss Liu.”
Liu RuYan smiled gracefully, confidently introducing herself while asserting her sovereignty, establishing herself first.
As she spoke, her gaze lingered on Emperor Huanfen’s exquisite features, her beautiful eyes silently observing the other woman’s expression.
If shocked, it would indicate that she didn’t know about her, the legitimate spouse.
If expressionless, it would an she already knew…
Oh dear… whether shocked or expressionless, how to concretely decipher it further, Liu RuYan truly didn’t know.
She was rely struck by a sudden whim, saying this just to see the woman’s exact reaction.
Emperor Huanfen outwardly maintained composure, feeling slightly surprised inside, not expecting this person to be that Brother Jiang of the Dao’s woman. Brother Jiang was indeed lucky to have found such an extraordinarily beautiful lady, matching even herself.
Of course, only such a woman could be worthy of Brother Jiang of the Dao.
As for Miss Liu’s strength, she glanced at her, not weak, at the Immortal King level, which was already considerable.
In any era, only one or two Kings could erge.
Emperor Huanfen nodded slightly, showing courtesy.
But pondering this, she couldn’t help but wonder why this person harbored such hostility towards her right off the bat?
Although the hostility was fleeting, she keenly detected it; the perception at the Sacrificial Path Realm could not be wrong.
After a few steps forward, Emperor Huanfen deliberately fell back a few paces, looking toward Liu RuYan.
Her attractive eyes scrutinized Liu RuYan up and down, as if wanting to see through her.
Liu RuYan felt unnerved under Emperor Huanfen’s gaze, straightened her chest and lifted her head, her graceful figure fully revealed, just about to speak when Emperor Huanfen’s voice already sounded.
“Miss Liu, why did you harbor hostility towards right from the start?”
Emperor Huanfen’s voice was clear and calm, carrying an undeniable strength.
Liu RuYan was taken aback by the question, not expecting the woman to have detected it despite her good concealnt.
Liu RuYan stamred and hesitated, barely managing to defend, “Honored guest, you really… must be joking. We’ve never t before, let alone bore any grudges. How could I possibly harbor hostility towards a guest of the village right from the start?”
After saying this, Liu RuYan laughed awkwardly twice, but it sounded extrely unconvincing,
Emperor Huanfen internally mused: What this woman said indeed made sense, but she couldn’t possibly have sensed wrong. This only ant the other person was lying.
For others, she naturally wouldn’t bother to care.
But this woman happened to be special. She was not only the woman of Brother Jiang of the Dao but also the mistress of Liu Village, a position presumably very important in Brother Jiang’s heart.
Emperor Huanfen had doubts inside, but her face remained impassive. She thought she would bide her ti, observe, and then see.
After all, she was going to stay here for a while, and would eventually figure out the reason.
The three of them followed a winding path forward.
On either side of the path, wildflowers blood, colorful butterflies danced, distant streams cascaded down, water rushed forth, converging in the mountain forest.
Emperor Huanfen suddenly looked up, gazing ahead.
There stood two unimaginably colossal figures, majestic and towering, reaching skyward, a single leaf a universe vast and boundless.
The World Tree.
Two of them at that!
Brother Jiang of the Dao really had great fortune, great left hand.
anwhile, she also saw so grand architectures looming among the peaks.
All bearing intrinsic Dao charm, mysterious and unfathomable, what she saw were rare Holy Land sites, within which figures flitted about.
Simultaneously, Emperor Huanfen noticed a spot that was quite extraordinary, even she couldn’t fathom it, only feeling the Great Tao overturned, rules unstained, her heart greatly stirred.
Throughout the journey, Liu RuYan would intentionally or unintentionally glance at Emperor Huanfen, though internally striving, she had to admit.
This woman was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, even she had to acknowledge; it was almost flawless.
No, even flawless was insufficient to describe one-tenth of this woman’s breathtaking beauty.
Moreover, every gesture carried an indescribable charm.
The more she looked closely, the more pressured she felt.
Emperor Huanfen naturally noticed this all along, but remained silent, growing increasingly puzzled.
It wasn’t that Emperor Huanfen was insensible; rather she had lived so many years, never having experienced matters of love, nor thought of them, her mind devoid of any corresponding stirrings or ideas.
Old man Lin walked while introducing the village’s local customs and expressed a warm welco for Emperor Huanfen’s arrival.
Emperor Huanfen listened with a smile, occasionally nodding in response, exuding an elegant grace untouched by worldly dust, earning Old man Lin’s silent admiration.
anwhile, Liu RuYan, on the other hand, seed attentive on the surface, but her thoughts were far away, pondering how to engage in “friendly exchanges” with Emperor Huanfen without appearing deliberate, to probe and in so way sound out for Sister Willow God.
