'The Judge of Scales…'
Regaining his composure, Hong Ming clasped his fists and bowed his body slightly to show a courteous manner to the one who resided in the higher realm. Though Hong Ming knew nothing about the beauty's pasts or achievements,an individual that the emperor himself respected definitely wouldn't be a nobody. In fact, Ang Luo did remind him over and over to not make a mistake in front of the beautiful woman as he was here by Ang Luo's recommendation.
"Greetings, exalted one. This one is called Hong Ming and I'm here in order to seek the truth."
When he heard the query of the woman called Meng Luyian, Hong quickly w
'A soul bound contract…'Hesitation filled Hong Ming's mind as he gazed onto Meng Liyuan's figure. This could be said to be an outrageous price even to anyone who heard it. However, for Hong Ming, as long as it was within his means, then the chance of relenting to it wasn't slim at all. And the prospect of giving up his soul was still within his means and not a complete impossible.Yet, was it worth it in the first place? Would there be a better option laid down somewhere instead of accepting this ridiculous condition. True that someone with the cultivation as high as him was nothing but an ant in front of a woman like her. But then, Hong Ming has his own pride about himself no matter how far their differences were.
"Blessed by the world itself?"Repeating the same words Meng Liyuan had uttered, Hong Ming was quite puzzled by the meaning of that statement. However, instead of clearing what she meant, Meng Liyuan quickly changed the topic, "So, what's your answer?""....."Seeing that Meng Liyuan didn't explain any further, Hong Ming squinted his eyes in doubt. There was no way for him to trust Meng Liyuan's words that easily. No matter how high of a standings a person is, there's no way for them to know everything."Why would you think I will have a long lifespan, your excellency?"Voicing his doubt, Hong Ming made a troubled expression on
Walking towards a glimmering pond in the distance, Hong Ming glanced at his surroundings. It looks like an underground cave in his vision. Countless gems were embedded everywhere in the cave's walls and ceilings. Each of them giving out illumination that was as bright as a candle itself.After he agreed to the contract, Meng Liyuan brought him somewhere else with a priceless spirit tool that could manipulate space. With just one step, they already shifted to another place faster than the eye could blink. It was much more wondrous than any spirit tools Hong Ming had ever seen. The value of such a thing would definitely cause a huge disturbance to all sect leaders.Although he was confused at first, he was being told that they w
"This is…"A basket of stone that connected to a small pillar was being placed somewhere beside the pond. After following Meng Liyuan's lead, both of them spotted the stone basket in a minute.Inside the stone basket, there was clear water, similar to the water in the pond. However, it doesn't glimmer in light or such. Even though it was so clear and transparent, it didn't reflect any light at all."This is the item that would help you see the truth you are seeking for."With a smile, Meng Liyuan took out a crystallized perfume bottle and dro
Walking side by side with Meng Liyuan in silence, spiral of thoughts and guesses running through Hong Ming's minds. Five minutes later, both of them arrived at the starting point where Hong Ming and Meng Liyuan were transported to this underground cave.It was the same exquisite double doors as before. Without saying anything, the two of them walked to the double doors. As Meng Liyuan has been walking in front of Hong Ming all this time, she was the first one to get closer to the door.With a flick of her Lingqi, the double doors quickly trembled in response as it opened the doors itself. When Meng Liyuan saw that, she resumed her steps and went towards the double doors. Behind her, Hong Ming followed every step of hers as if a chick to his hen.Shortly, the two
"You are coming with us?"A little surprised at what Hong Ming said, Ang Luo turned his face to the man before him with an intrigued expression. Meanwhile, Hong Ming leaned his back to the soft pillow that was placed right on the chair as a backrest. There was a slight smile on his face, as he was talking with the emperor of the Yunan Empire."Yes, your majesty."Even though he had joined the Equilibrium Palace owned by the Judge of Scaled, when Hong recalled the last conversation the two of them had, Meng Liyuan only said to let Hong Ming stay
Thirty years later, within the royal palace of the Yunan Empire, there's five middle aged men who were walking together in a group. Silver threads and images of blue dragons could be seen adorning their robe official's robe. In the middle of the group, one of the middle aged men seemed to be walking slightly ahead of his peers, as if a leader of them."The condition in the north is worsening lately, huh.""What do you expect? The one who responsible for Hui city is incompetent official.""I heard that the mayor had joined the royal faction."
A middle aged man that looks like he was only in his early thirties was donned on the emperor's robe and strode to the throne from the entrance of the throne hall. Behind him were his most trusted subordinates, as well as his protectors.Each of them has tall stature, with arms as big as an adult's thigh. Various gears made for battle could be seen on their body, read for any unforeseen things that would happen to the emperor.However, one of them stood out like a sore thumb compared to the rest, for he's not a human like all of them within the throne hall. His snow-like mane and his long ears had caught the attention of most people within the room. Though he has his half beast figure, he still wore clothes that's suitable for
