You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 425 - 213: When She’s Three Years Older, She Brings You Fortune; When She’s Three Hundred, She Gives You Immortal Pills
Huajian City, City Lord’s Mansion.
In a massive jade stone bathing pool, a snow-white figure was faintly discernible amidst the misty steam, with an alluring figure — a broad chest that could barely be held with one hand.
The skin was glossy and full, the jade-like face capable of toppling a nation. Such peerless beauty belonged to Lian Hongyin, known as the first beauty of Huajian City.
At the same time, she also held another revered identity — the City Lord of Huajian City.
In the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, the martial strength often lay with the women, and the bloodline of the royal family was particularly special. The stronger the cultivation, the more stunning the beauty.
Lian Hongyin was currently immersed in the boiling Spiritual Spring, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
"City Lord!"
A female guard hurriedly approached the bathing pool, her armor clattering: "Something major has happened. Another caravan was attacked in the west of the city, and the looted goods were originally meant to be tribute delivered to the Royal City."
The Sovereign’s upcoming royal wedding naturally required a grand celebration, thus the demand for resources was indispensable.
Previously, when other caravans were attacked, Lian Hongyin could rely on her formidable strategic prowess to overlook it. After all, as long as she stationed herself in Huajian City and utilized the city arrays, she could be foolproof.
In contrast, going out to battle posed a far greater risk.
However, the current situation was different. The stolen tribute was no trivial matter. If Lian Hongyin did not react, she risked being labeled as an "idle official."
Even if she hailed from the royal family with noble blood, a reputation for "incompetence" would still make her future career path difficult.
After all, the royal family members fiercely competed inside; if you don’t perform, someone else will.
"They are forcing me to leave the city."
Lian Hongyin’s breathtaking face showed disdain, her lips curling into a cold smile. As someone born into the royal family and seasoned by countless battles, she balanced wisdom and beauty and was not naive to this trap.
However, she now had a reason to act.
Moreover, she had immense confidence in her strength. Regardless of the opponents’ schemes, the warriors of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom never feared battle; they were determined to carve a path of blood with their swords.
"Looks like it’s time for me to make a move."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly rose from the bathing pool.
A flowing flame converged into a set of bright red armor, covering the key parts of Lian Hongyin’s body, yet still revealing much of her snow-white skin.
When the city’s troops were deployed, Lian Hongyin’s appearance in the Outer City District stirred up Huajian City.
The caravans suffered recurrent attacks, and this time the robbers were bold enough to dare rob the tribute destined for the Royal City. Such audacity would lead to the downfall of Huajian City’s trade routes if not thunderously addressed.
After all, how could a force assure everyone’s safety if it did not dare retaliate when humiliated?
At this moment, Lian Hongyin’s appearance was to showcase the martial might of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom to everyone.
"It’s the City Lord!"
"The City Lord is about to take action!"
"The Black Mountain Thieves deserve death for their arson and looting with impunity!"
"Lord City Lord, you must take charge for us!"
Many traders in the city faced severe losses due to the bandits’ raids, and seeing Lian Hongyin finally about to take action, they were excitedly spreading the news.
They even pooled some money to support the City Guard Army in their campaign against the Black Mountain Thieves.
Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen were amidst the crowd, observing the commotion with a nonchalant attitude as bystanders.
"Truly beautiful!"
Huang Liwen stared intently at Lian Hongyin’s stunning figure, his drool almost dripping on the ground.
At that moment, Lian Hongyin, with her fiery figure barely clad in armor resembling swimwear, exposed vast expanses of snow-white, smooth skin. As the Flame Brilliance Beast beneath her moved, her delicate body slightly undulated, making people wish to gaze at her endlessly.
Ye Qingzhou, noticing this, teased Huang Liwen via Thought Transmitting Sound: "Brother Wen, I’ve heard that the City Lord of Huajian City is over three hundred years old this year."
"As long as she looks young!"
Huang Liwen was unmoved and appeared even more eager, rubbing his hands excitedly: "A woman three years older is worth gold, but thirty years older is worth a kingdom, three hundred years older would surely gift me an Immortal Pill?"
Instead of striving hard, Huang Liwen now only thought of laying back and reaping benefits.
The other party was formidable and a Martial Saint Strong Person; even if it meant a small horse pulling a large carriage, he was willing.
Ye Qingzhou couldn’t be bothered to lecture him and continued to watch Lian Hongyin’s back.
He secretly activated the Celestial Eye, his gaze penetrating all phenomena, directly observing Lian Hongyin’s inner self. He saw within her Dantian Qi Sea, a mass of crimson flame, like a blooming Red Lotus.
This fire used human sin as its fuel; as long as the sin prevailed, the karmic fire never extinguished.
"The Red Lotus Karmic Fire, one of the Nine Great Divine Flames?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Ye Qingzhou was surprised in his heart.
Being recorded in the Flame Sun Treasure Seal, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire undoubtedly stood out.
"According to the book, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire born out of living beings’ sins can burn through the flesh. Once caught, it cannot be extinguished, only resisted until the sin is completely burned away."
Ye Qingzhou was quite interested in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
Mainly because the Flame Sun Treasure Seal documented a mental imagery called the Nine Dragons Divine Flame. It required collecting and refining all nine great divine flames of the world. Upon encountering an enemy, one could then use the power of mental imagery to create nine fire dragons with the power to scorch the heavens and earth.
While Ye Qingzhou was lost in these thoughts.
