Lu Sheng snorted. He dragged a dragon-headed humanoid behind him as he left the roomâs entrance.
A thick trail of blood was left on the floor behind him. However, the floorboard quickly absorbed the blood, and all traces of it vanished.
The floor looked as clean as it had been, just as if it had never been tainted by blood.
To think that someone was bold enough to sneak up upon him, the Devil Shadow Fist Emperor. Did they not know that he had killed off all things that posed even the slightest of threats within several hundred miles to protect Hongye back then?
If he had not done that, he would not have been so carefree in letting Hongye attend classes at the academy every day.
âDo your revision after your harp practice! Iâll come and check on you tonight. If youâre not done with your homework, you know what youâll be getting!â Lu Sheng added before he left.
âU-understood!â A trembling voice came from within the room.
Lu Sheng carried the corpse with a cold expression and tossed it into some bushes in the garden.
Little fairies in beautiful dresses flew out of the bush that had been adorned with brilliant flowers.
These were flower fairies. They had beautiful looks and bodies. They were only the size of a personâs palm.
The moment the corpse was thrown onto the bush, the fairies instantly dismembered it. The corpse was reduced to countless chunks and devoured by the fairies.
The flower fairies cheered as they pounced on their food. They opened their mouths, revealing their sharp teeth as they tore away at the corpseâs flesh.
These were terrifying fairies Lu Sheng had nurtured for the past 15 years. When he attained the rank of a legend four years ago after reaching rank-19, he was given the choice to pick a legendary art unique to himself.
Lu Sheng did not choose any other. He chose the art, Animate, as his legendary art.
Lu Sheng did not look at the terrifying fairies. Instead, he inquired in a cold voice, âWhereâs Rebecca?â
âIâm here, my lord.â A dreadful fairy with long blood-red hair in a snow-white dress flew out slowly and knelt with one knee toward Lu Sheng.
âWhatâve you been doing just now?â Lu Sheng eyes Rebecca coldly.
The horrendous fairy clearly felt the temperature around her drop. She was in charge of security here. She had merely slacked off for just a brief moment and went to shower in the underground chamber. She ordered her subordinate to look after things while she was gone.
âI⌠was⌠taking a showerâŚâ The smile on her face instantly froze over and her body started trembling.
âSo, youâre telling me that you didnât notice the two maggots who slipped past at all?â Lu Shengâs gaze grew colder.
âI⌠IâŚâ Rebeccaâs body shook wildly as if she was sifting chaff. Her alluring and fair beautiful face lost all color of blood.
In an instant, black radiance shone. Rebecca instantly vanished on the spot. No trace of her aura was left in the air.
âKyaaah!â one of the fairies screamed out of fright. However, the instant she made a sound, she was instantly engulfed by the black light and vanished on the spot.
The other horrendous fairies had been delighted by the supply of fresh food before this. However, they were now filled with terror and fright.
âElla, youâll replace Rebecca. I donât wish for this to happen a second time,â Lu Sheng said slowly.
A horrendous fairy with long black hair flew out slowly. There was still a faint trace of fear on her face.
âUn⌠Understood! Iâll be on alert!â The pair of transparent wings on Ellaâs back trembled, exposing her current terrified state.
âSince the two worms that have entered were discovered by Hongye, weâll grant them access.â Lu Sheng could naturally tell who had ill intentions and who did not.
The two worms were actually loyal to Hongye. Hence, he did not mind granting them access.
âUnderstood!â Ella hastily nodded.
Lu Sheng turned around and walked toward the garden in front of the mansion.
The butler Hank walked up to greet him. His right arm was slightly stained by blood.
âMy Lord, the dozen dragon men who were keeping an eye on the two worms have been taken care of. However, I didnât expect two of them to slip past me and get in.â
Lu Sheng glanced at Hank. He noticed the cruel and fierce expression he was subconsciously displaying.
He knew that this homicidal maniac who had been called the Eye Devil before this was excited by the taste of blood again.
âHave you been eating eyeballs again?â He frowned slightly.
âMy Lord, is it not you who said that Iâm allowed to devour the eyeballs of those who raised a hand against me?â Hank smiled. His lips parted slightly, and dozens of slender blood-red tongues could be seen packed inside his mouth.
âDid Hongye see any of that?â Lu Sheng asked drily.
Cold crept into Hankâs heart, and he hastily replied, âNo! Certainly not!â
âYou know the consequences if she sees any of this.â Lu Sheng wasted no more words on him. He turned around and went into the mansion.
The old butler was left standing there, drenched in cold sweat.
âTake this with you. Itâs bound to come in handy on the road.â
âSome food, clean change of clothes. You should bring at least two sets of clothes if youâre going on a long journey!â
Inside her bedroom, Lu Hongye was carefully packing her luggage. She was getting ready to leave with the little lizard and the masked maiden.
âAre you sure that my father wonât notice this?â Lu Hongye could not believe what these two were saying. She merely wanted to slip outside and play.
Life was too boring here. Opportunities to have fun would not come by often. Naturally, she would not let this slip.
Although she was afraid of her father, this little lizard and masked maiden seemed powerful. Perhaps they could actually bring her out of this place.
âOf course!â the golden lizard quickly replied. âNobody noticed when I came in. Iâve hidden myself here silently!â it said with a certain smugness.
Lu Hongye nodded. A hint of excitement crept into her heart.
The little lizard had already helped her activate the Golden Dragon Kingâs bloodline mark in her body.
The brilliant golden mark seemed to have grown out of her arm. There was no flaw.
She faintly felt the wonderful power that was welling up within herself.
This made her believe these two more.
However, because of her deep-set fear of her father, she only made the decision to go out with these two after practicing her harp and finishing her homework.
âAlright. Donât forget that we have to be back by midnight. If my father finds out that Iâm not in my room at midnight, Iâll certainly be beat to death tomorrow!â When Lu Hongye remembered the times when she was given a beating, she could not help but shudder.
âDonât worry! Donât worry! Itâs just around the corner. Weâve gathered many old subordinates of the dragon kingâs household. The main thing for you today is to meet everyone,â the little lizard replied swiftly.
âAlright.â Lu Hongye was feeling slightly excited, but she did not wear her heart on her sleeve. There was merely a slight upward curve on the edge of her lip. A cold outer appearance with half a smileâthis was the trademark of the Lu Family.
According to her father, no matter the situation, she would never be at a disadvantage as long as she had a sneer.
She finished packing in no time.
Lu Hongye placed the homework that needed reviewing on the little table by the door. This was the place where Lu Sheng checked her homework every day.
Then, she lifted the edge of her skirt and carefully went down the stairs.
âAre you going somewhere, My Lady?â Suddenly, the voice of butler Hank reached her from behind.
Lu Hongye shuddered. Fortunately, the two visitors had brought her luggage out; otherwise, she would have had no way of explaining this.
She turned around and saw the butlerâs genial face.
âOld man Hank, whyâre you still awake? Itâs so late in the night.â
âThereâs something that I have to attend to, but Iâll be in bed before long. My Lady, if youâre going out at this hour, you should be careful and stay warm. Please donât catch a cold.â Hank smiled amiably and ruffled Hongyeâs hair.
âThanks, old man Hank. Iâm only going out for a short while. Iâll be back soon.â Lu Hongye stuck out her tongue and acted coquettishly. âCan you keep this a secret from my father?â
âDo you want this old man to accompany you?â Hank asked.
âThereâs no need for that!â Lu Hongye quickly waved her hand.
Hank nodded with a smile, and said, âAlright then. Go on, donât stay out too late. Itâll be bad if Master finds outâŚâ
âYouâre the best!â Lu Hongye tiptoed and gave Hank a kiss. She turned around and ran away. She quickly vanished outside the iron gates.
Hank looked at her receding back. He stood there for a long while before leaving slowly.
Ever since the little golden lizard came, Lu Hongyeâs life turned on its head.
After her harp practice and homework, her remaining time was no longer dull. She frequently went out with the little golden lizard on special training sessions.
The golden royal mark on her body became more obvious. The power within her became stronger as well.
She was no longer that ordinary girl sheâd once been. With the bloodline power within her activated, her qualities were experiencing an overall improvement. With her special training, she seemed to be improving every single day.
However, no matter how powerful she became, in the house, she was still the obedient Lu Hongye.
She did not wish to drag her father and old man Hank into this.
Although her father was strong, he was only an ordinary shopkeeper of an antique store, while old man Hank was only an ordinary person, and he was old. He could not withstand the shock from this.
She just wanted to enjoy this peaceful life.
âGood morning, little fairies.â Early in the morning, Lu Hongye brought her textbook to the garden to study.
She had another secret. A group of flower fairies dwelled in the garden behind her house.
She could still remember the time sheâd discovered the flower fairies. She remembered the surprise and happiness sheâd felt back then.
âSqueak, squeakâŚâ The group of flower fairies timidly poked their heads out. They looked at her with slight fear.
They had supple skin, beautiful faces, silky hair, slender waists, and they looked like the most precious and delicate dolls on her hand.
Lu Hongye softly stroked the head of a little black-haired fairy.
âIâm going to revise out loud again. I hope I wonât bother you,â she said with a smile.
The group of little fairies widened their eyes and gathered around her out of curiosity. They circled her through the slits in the bush. They seemed to be very interested in the book she was reading.
The bush was adorned with brightly colored flowers. The little fairies were as cute as the fairy tales depicted them, and the summer sun was bright.
Lu Hongye felt as if she had been placed in the world of fairy tales, and she could not extract herself from it.
In the nearby study on the second floor, Lu Sheng looked through the window and down at Lu Hongye with his hands behind him.
Lu Ning had gone missing. He filled the void with Lu Hongye.
âIf Ningning had been here, he wouldâve been slightly older than Hongye. AlasâŚâ Lu Sheng sighed.
âMy Lord, is it alright for lady Hongye to discover these things?â Jolin spoke softly behind him. This Arcane Knight was one of the Flower Ringâs strongest. Currently, she was the most powerful legendary expert under Lu Shengâs command on the surface.
âThereâs nothing wrong with this. Let her get used to this and have some fun,â Lu Sheng said drily. âSheâll be involved in our operations sooner or later. Letâs treat this as her training.â
âThe Golden Dragon Tribe and the Black Dragon Tribe are warring against each other. The feuds between dragon tribes are known to last long. Iâm worried that the old farts of the golden dragons would use the lady as fodder.â
âAre you confident in going against a primordial golden dragon?â Lu Sheng suddenly asked.
