Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1019 - 1017: The Ning Family Has a Daughter Named Ruoshuang

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1017: The Ning Family Has a Daughter Named Ruoshuang

North Sea Coast.

An endless expanse of the boundless North Sea sprawls to the north of the world, the azure waters smooth as blue jade embedded firmly between the heaven and earth.

Binhai City, like a luminous pearl, is set above the blue jade.

This is also the northernmost city in the entire Southern State!

However...

The jurisdiction of this city does not belong to Southern State, not even Nantian Sacred Lands can govern this place.

The people of the endless North Sea like to call it the City of Freedom.

Here, there are no rules, no restraints, and no oppression.

Whether you are a human or a magical beast.

Whether virtuous or evil.

As long as you are tired of the disputes in Jianghu, you can apply to enter Binhai City and receive its protection.

Even if two mortal enemies who wish to kill each other meet here, as incompatible as fire and water, they must wait until the other leaves Binhai City to continue their vengeance!

Within Binhai City.

Taking a life is absolutely not allowed!

Those who dare to cause trouble in Binhai City...

At least will be expelled and forever banned from stepping foot in Binhai City; at worst, they find a deadly fate!

The rules of Binhai City were jointly established by Beiming Palace, Nine Dragons Valley, Giant Whale Alliance, Sky Alliance, and Nantian Sacred Lands. With these massive forces backing it, naturally, no one dares to challenge the authority of Binhai City.

At this moment.

On the spacious streets of Binhai City, three figures are walking.

The one leading is a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, casually draped in fine quality black battle robes, giving him an aura of imposing dignity without anger.

Powerful beings around him instinctively retreat out of deference,

fully aware that he is not an opponent to be provoked lightly.

To his left is a sleazy man with yellow teeth whose left eye emanates a faint golden light, squinting around suspiciously; and a middle-aged man with a serene expression who actually has a gaze sharp as a blade.

These three are Xiao Yi, Ning Delun, and Qiu Yiyun.

After half a month of travel,

they finally arrived at Binhai City, the legendary City of Freedom. Indeed, one can witness many exotic sights which are not seen elsewhere.

For example,

before them stands a man with a bear-like stature, carrying a seductive Sea Demon on his shoulder while standing by the roadside. The couple sings duets that attract the surrounding audience to give them some gratuities.

There are also magical beasts not fully transformed, still covered in scale armor, sitting by the roadside with others, clinking cups in merriment.

Even a mix of many magical creatures and human warriors mingling together, setting up stalls and chatting about everyday life...

Such a unique sight is truly rare to see elsewhere.

After all,

the Human Race has always prided themselves as the Supreme Venerables,

considering themselves above others.

They never deigned to associate with magical beasts.

But Xiao Yi could see that in the City of Freedom, at least seventy percent of the residents truly accept and enjoy this life of equality and peaceful coexistence!

"Lord Xiao, Qiu, we have arrived!"

As the trio passed by a place called Cold Moon Pavilion, Ning Delun paused briefly, then made a gesture of invitation to the other two, "Gentlemen, please follow me!"

Xiao Yi and Qiu Yiyun exchanged a glance.

Ever since a few days ago...

When they were about to arrive at the City of Freedom, Ning Delun seemed unusually excited, but no matter how Qiu Yiyun and Xiao Yi asked, Ning Delun kept dodging the question with vague answers.

He was being so secretive that no one knew what he was up to!

"Lord Xiao..." Qiu Yiyun looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Let’s go see what kind of tricks this old man is hiding!"

The two followed Ning Delun into the Cold Moon Pavilion.

The pavilion lived up to its name, cold and quiet with hardly any patrons. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

However,

the shop was exceptionally clean, spotless, clearly well-maintained by the owner.

Several shelves displayed various strange and quirky decorations; it was a shop that specialized in selling antiquities, and indeed, these were old treasures with some history!

"Lord Xiao, look, this seems to be the ’Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix’ by Tang Pu, one of the former four great talents of Southern State!" Qiu Yiyun suddenly pointed at a painting hanging on the wall.

Xiao Yi glanced over...

You should know.

He inherited the legacy of a lethal scholar, and Tang Pu was a close friend of that scholar. Xiao Yi naturally had the absolute ability to determine its authenticity at a glance: "It is indeed an original by Tang Pu, and not just his, but also authentic work left by the other three talents. Besides, there’s a lot of good stuff here..."

Ning Delun chuckled, his mouth full of big yellow teeth making him look even more sleazy: "These are all things I’ve come across unexpectedly over the years, sort of off the books, haha..."

"Daddy, you’re back?"

A crisp, pleasant voice suddenly came from the back yard, and a young girl in a white long dress hopped out from the back, hanging on Ning Delun’s neck like a bird returning to its nest, calling out affectionately.

"Daddy?"

"Old Ning, is this your daughter?"

Xiao Yi and Qiu Yiyun exchanged glances, both seeing surprise and shock in each other’s eyes.

Ning Delun scratched his head, opened his mouth to show his big yellow teeth, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Over these years, I’ve offended quite a few people. Worried about the trouble reaching my daughter, I secretly placed them here in the City of Freedom."

Xiao Yi squinted at Ning Delun, smiling, "Such arrangements of yours aren’t too bad!"

Qiu Yiyun said, "It’s just like you, Ning Delun, always so cunning!"

"Hehe..."

Ning Delun sheepishly rubbed his nose, then pulled out the young girl standing behind him, and introduced, "Lord Xiao, this is my daughter, Ning Ruoshuang!"

"Hmph!"

Ning Ruoshuang snorted with her nose held high, but she ignored Xiao Yi and Qiu Yiyun, her face showing some dissatisfaction, "Daddy, you’re finally back, if you were any later, my position as the owner of Cold Moon Pavilion would have been taken by someone else!"

"Hmm?"

The trio, Ning Delun, all looked puzzled.

Cold Moon Pavilion and Ning Ruoshuang were going to be replaced?

What was going on?

Ning Delun looked anxiously at Ning Ruoshuang; he had been tirelessly working to purchase a mine of raw stone recently and hadn’t been to Binhai City for quite a while.

He naturally had no knowledge of this.

He was deeply worried that Ning Ruoshuang might be harmed, Ning Delun spoke gravely: "Ruoshuang, don’t be afraid, no matter what happens, daddy is here! Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Xiao Yi and Qiu Yiyun also looked towards Ning Ruoshuang, their eyes full of inquiry.

Since the three of them traveled together, they were of course ready to advance or retreat together, facing life and death as one.

Now that Ning Delun’s daughter was in trouble, if they didn’t resolve the situation here completely, Ning Delun wouldn’t be in any mindset to continue their journey.

"It’s all because..."

Just as Ning Ruoshuang started to speak, a rough voice came from outside: "Hahaha, Miss Ning, the three-day deadline has ended, you should come with us now..."
