Chapter 327: These Flowers Are Not Red Enough!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The valley was surrounded by mountains on all sides and apart from the cable car network, there was only a small path about two meters wide for man and beast to travel on foot.
Dozens of antique-looking houses could be seen in the lush valley. In the heart of the valley was a large patch of lotus flowers, vying with each other to stand out. The resplendent flowers were cloaked in petals as white as snow and as red as fire!
A series of wooden railings criss-crossed through the lake, allowing Mystic Moon and Bei Feng to stroll above it.
Mystic Moon's long black dress fluttered in the breeze as she skipped lightly atop the bridge, and a radiant smile hung on her face.
"How beautiful!" Mystic Moon mumbled. At this time, the two of them were standing at the area right above the center of the lotus lake. As they cast their gaze forward, they felt as if they were being surrounded by an ocean of lotus flowers!
"If you like this, we can go back and plant the mountain full of flowers later on."
Bei Feng had a rare smile on his face as he gazed gently at Mystic Moon.
Mystic Moon also smiled lightly, not saying anything. They had reached the edge of this wooden barricade. There was a three-meter-wide platform here.
Mystic Moon began to sway lightly with her eyes closed, and her dress twirled and spun as she began to dance. Her jade white feet tapped soundlessly against the wooden platform.
Her face was wreathed in a gentle smile, and she looked like a fairy who had landed on earth.
Her ancient-styled long black dress flowed down her legs, and devilish red cloud patterns were embroidered onto her sleeves. Her long inky black hair swished in an enchanting manner with her slender body.
Her unblemished face was like a painting, and her eyes were like the waters of a clear lake, reflecting the souls of mortals. Her petite mouth was arched slightly in a smile as she danced.
Mystic Moon stepped forward and tapped her feet lightly. Following that, her entire body soared into the sky as she stepped atop a thin lotus petal.
Bei Feng was completely enraptured as he watched. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her beautiful figure at all. At this moment, he could no longer tell if it was the lotus flowers that complemented Mystic Moon's dance, or if it was because of Mystic Moon that the lotus flowers and the scenery looked so good!
After a moment, she jumped up lightly from the lotus field and landed back on the wooden platform. Not caring if the ground was dirty or not, she directly sat down by the edge of the platform and dipped her feet into the clear, cool water.
"Too beautiful, good!"
A shocked voice resounded from the back as a middle-aged man walked out surrounded by a large group of men. The middle-aged man was clapping his hands lightly as he looked at Mystic Moon with infatuation.
Jian Yong had not expected that a simple walk would let him see such a beautiful scene!
Bei Feng furrowed his brows and turned to block the path of the middle-aged man.
Jian Yong was walking forward pompously when he was suddenly blocked by a young man. Seeing the head of white hair on this young man, he was rather astonished. Quite apparently, the kid was not old. However, his hair had already gone white!
"Get out of the way. Where are your eyes? This is the Jian Clan's current Clan Leader, an Esteemed Xiantian Lord!
Jian Yong did not say anything, but a 29 years old man behind him immediately stepped out and berated Bei Feng.
'Not bad, this kid is rather useful. Looks like it won't be a bad idea to admit him into my Jian Clan as an external member.'
Jian Yong nodded his head silently.
Bei Feng acted as if he hadn't heard the man. He stretched out a leg and drew a line lightly across the wooden bridge.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Jian Yong furrowed his brows and his tone sounded exceedingly unfriendly.
"Those who pass this line shall be met with death."
Bei Feng directly turned around and walked back towards Mystic Moon, not bothering about the people behind him.
An older man from the group shook his head and said, "Ai, young people nowadays cannot see the immensity of the heavens and earth."
"Bastard! Who the hell do you think you are?!"
"Kid, you're seeking your own death! The fact that the Esteemed Lord took an interest in that girl is a great fortune for you. The Esteemed Lord would surely not mistreat you if you hand her over obediently!"
A bunch of eager bootlickers immediately seized the opportunity to jump out and perform.
Jian Yong lifted his chin with a slight sneer on his face. Although he knew that these people only were only sucking up to him, it still felt good to listen to their words.
"Didn't you say that those who cross this line will die? I've already stepped past the line. What can you do?" Cai Wenzhao snorted coldly. He did not place Bei Feng in his eyes at all, and directly stepped past the line.
He had reason to be so arrogant. He wasn't even 30, but he'd already broken through to the middle stage Evolved Jing realm. On top of that, he had obtained a martial technique, increasing his abilities such that even an advanced stage Evolved Jing master might not be his opponent.
'What bullshit Jian Clan Clan Leader. If I was the one born in the Jian Clan, I would've broken through to the Xiantian realm long ago!' Cai Wenzhao thought unhappily. He felt like he only lacked an opportunity to soar to the heavens. Right now, his opportunity had appeared. As long as he could get Jian Yong's approval, he could enter the Jian Clan, obtaining various resources. That was his only chance to transform into a mighty dragon!
Bei Feng stood beside Mystic Moon and said with a gentle smile, "Although this place is very beautiful, I feel that it's lacking a little something... these flowers are not red enough!"
He turned around, and in an instant, it was as if a wild beast had awoken. A boundless aura surged from his body, rising menacingly upwards!
The lotus flowers closest to him directly burst apart, and a deep sense of terror arose in the hearts of the entire group!
Bei Feng stretched out a finger and pointed at Cai Wenzhao. As he did so, a slender finger over a meter long appeared. Only the tip of the finger could be seen. The rest was a sharp, black claw!
'Dammit! Move!'
Cai Wenzhao screamed in his heart as he struggled to control his body. The moment that finger appeared, he felt like he was being expelled by the heavens and earth. A huge pressure pressed down on him on all sides, rendering him completely immobile!
The finger moved very slowly and from the perspective of Jian Yong and the rest, it seemed like any random person with intact limbs would be able to dodge it with ease. Only Cai Wenzhao who was facing it knew how terrifying it was!
The claw grew increasingly larger before Cai Wenzhao's unwilling eyes. He felt like he was standing at the foot of a collapsing mountain, unable to do anything about his situation!
"NO!!!"
Cai Wenzhao managed to unleash a wretched cry of desperation. But this was also his last word on this earth!
The tip of the claw lightly tapped against Cai Wenzhao's body and disappeared. Cai Wenzhao remained standing on the spot, motionless.
Just as Jian Yong and the rest were starting to doubt if the attack was fake, Cai Wenzhao's body shook lightly and directly exploded!
His blood sprayed high into the air like bullets, piercing through the lotus leaves and directly landing on the lotus flowers!
Time seemed to have stopped in that instant. Everyone's mouth was hanging widely as they stood rooted with stupor. A gentle breeze blew across the valley, causing the blood-drenched lotus flowers to sway lightly in the wind. There was a strange devilish beauty in this scene.
That breeze also brought the rest out of their stupor. A short moment ago, a powerful Evolved Jing master with boundless potential had died just like that!
"So it seems like I had judged wrongly just now. You're actually a Xiantian Lord as well! However, you need to see who is the dog's master before you beat it up. You need to give my Jian Clan an explanation for this!"
Jian Yong had also received quite a fright. He had previously lifted one foot over the line, but it now hung in the air motionlessly, he not daring to put it down.
"Oh? What kind of explanation do you want?"
Bei Feng's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the blood stained lotus flowers before him. Suddenly, they looked a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"Enter my Jian Clan and serve as a servant for 10 years!"
Jian Yong did not put Bei Feng in his eyes at all. So what if he was a Xiantian Lord?
The surname Jian was his strongest trump card! The Jian Clan was exceedingly frightening. In terms of strength, they were even stronger than the Qin Clan before Qin Wufa's breakthrough!
Even now, Jian Yong had not given up on Mystic Moon. If Bei Feng was willing to become a servant for 10 years, he could still spare his life for the sake of the girl. But if he refused, he would directly dispatch a few experts to kill the latter!
A Xiantian Lord was not anything to be feared. But a Xiantian Lord who harbored intense hatred for his Jian Clan and held no reservations and no qualms about slaughtering the juniors for revenge was truly terrifying!
No matter what, the younger generation would always be the future of the Jian Clan. But they couldn't always have a Xiantian Lord accompany the juniors at all times!
