CHAPTER 551: CHAPTER 8: THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN

The purple-clad woman soared down, her flowing purple garments fluttering like a fairy. The light purple gauze lifted by the wind revealed her smooth, delicate chin and her full, luscious red lips, as a scent that seemed a mix of medicine and herbs hit the nose.

When she landed, there was no sound, her movement technique alone was comparable to Yue Jinghua and Long Jiuzun.

"Brother Long, this person first broke my fingers, then forcefully snatched the Qilin, clearly disregarding us. What are you waiting for? Kill him," Upon seeing the purple-clad woman, and noticing the color of fury on Long Jiuzun’s face, Ji Yun’s eyes gleamed with cunning light. He knew Long Jiuzun had always been infatuated with the purple-clad woman, and Yue Jinghua causing him to lose face before her was something he could not swallow. Provoking him now to make him kill Yue Jinghua was the perfect opportunity.

Before Long Jiuzun could explode in anger, the purple-clad woman spoke first. Her lips slightly parted as she said: "Ji Yun, shut your chatterbox, aren’t you ashamed? It’s just a few broken fingers, not your lineage severed. Listen to how you wail."

Her voice was melodious like an oriole’s, and her figure was like the willows of March. Yet her first words dispelled any perceived fragility.

Though her words were rough, they did not make people uncomfortable. On the contrary, her straightforward and charming manner instead added to her appeal, at least in the eyes of Long Jiuzun.

Her words seemed to wield a magical power, calming Long Jiuzun who was on the brink of erupting.

Even Ji Yun, once he heard there was a chance to save his fingers, immediately changed his expression, "My lady, do you have a way to save my fingers? Then please do something quickly. If you can heal this hand, I’ll agree to anything you say."

Though Ji Yun represented despised officials, his cultivation wasn’t too bad among the descendants from prestigious families in Ah Imperial City, and his father was a civil servant. Preventing him from entering the civil service and deliberately securing a qualification in this Dragon Pulling Test were for paving his path in the military career.

If his right hand became useless, what Dragon Pulling Test, what military officer, it would all become empty talk.

The purple-clad woman spit cheerfully and without another word, she dismissively picked up Ji Yun’s severed fingers from the ground.

The bloody five severed fingers, in the eyes of that purple-clad young girl, seemed very mundane.

Seeing the neat cut on the severed fingers, an odd color appeared in the purple-clad young girl’s eyes.

Considering Ji Yun’s cultivation, although it wasn’t remarkable, he was his father’s only son, and he had virtually been raised in a sea of elixirs since he was little.

His physique and bones were exceptionally tough, and even if he had been secretly assaulted by Yue Jinghua resulting in severed fingers, it was absolutely unlikely that every cut was perfectly even, as if measured with a ruler.

To cause such a severed finger, the assailant would need an exceptional sword skill, and the weapon used must be a divine weapon.

The purple-clad young girl stealthily glanced at Yue Jinghua, but neither seemed to correspond with that devilishly handsome face.

With doubts in her heart, the purple-clad woman bent down, her waist slender like a supporting willow. Even as she bent, the view was pleasing, and she delicately picked up the severed fingers, blew on them, and then drew a gourd from her sleeve.

At the sight of the gourd, Yue Jinghua’s brows twitched. The gourd, emerald in color and smooth as mutton-fat jade, was similar to a gourd she owned, albeit in a different shape.

It was precisely the Danlu Medicine Gourd previously obtained from Sha Fei’s hand, it turns out this woman in purple was also from Danlu.

The woman placed the severed finger into the gourd, "I am nourishing your severed finger with this Life Nourishing Gourd, if we cannot find a place to treat you within an hour, even immortals won’t be able to save your hand."

Upon hearing her words, Ji Yun no longer cared about taking revenge on Yue Jinghua, knowing that although the woman in purple had a peculiar temperament, her practice of the Qi Huang Skill was second to none even in Danlu. He immediately felt no doubt, and pleaded with Long Jiuzun to quickly find a nearby place to heal him.

Long Jiuzun, being a perceptive thinker, was very grateful for the woman in purple’s clever method of resolution.

Having already taken a liking to this girl, he saw an opportunity to please her and did not dare to delay, immediately instructing the Skyport Guards to find a nearby place for the healing, for the young lady in purple to use.

"Today’s incident has offended you greatly, my apologies for any inconvenience caused, Lady and young lord, and should there be a chance in the future, Jiuzun will definitely visit in person," Long Jiuzun made his polite remarks before leaving.

The woman in purple also gave Yue Jinghua a meaningful look, pursed her lips into a smile, and gracefully left.

Only after everyone had walked far away did the Airport Guard Captain breathe a sigh of relief.

Yue Jinghua took out the Airship Entry and Exit Certificate obtained earlier and showed it to the Guard Captain, who then ordered someone to draw a Dark Array on the "Titan".

During the wait, upon learning that Yue Jinghua had returned with Captain Jin Nuo, the Guard Captain sighed deeply and said meaningfully: "Young lord, there was some neglect earlier, please forgive us."

"Captain, you are too courteous. You were merely performing your duties," Yue Jinghua casually responded.

"Young lord, you might not know, but nowadays, the Imperial City is not just under the dominion of the Royal Family, it is rather..." The Guard Captain, hesitant, decided not to continue further.

Yue Jinghua did not press further, as the completion of the Dark Array still required some time, so she simply waited.

The group of women who had been frightened earlier had already recovered from the shock and were now curiously surrounding the two still confused Golden and Silver Qilin.

"It really is a Qilin, Jinghua, it’s incredible, you got such huge creatures just by moving your lips," Shalman was the happiest, for these Qilin were not only Ninth-stage Profound Beasts but also a pair of male and female Qilin.

You must know, Qilin are already rare creatures, and a pair of male and female Qilin is even harder to come by.

Both Qilin are already grown, if bred properly, in the future one could breed a whole bunch of little Qilin – then, they wouldn’t just be Qilin pulling airships, but an entire mighty Qilin army could be formed capable of expanding territories.

"Rourou, maybe we should send these two Qilin back? Offending the National Guardian General Residence is not good for us," Lie Rou fretted, though she did not know what method her daughter used to tame the two Qilin, Lie Rou still felt uneasy about it.

"Mother, don’t worry, they are just two silly Qilin. Besides, even if we don’t provoke others, it doesn’t mean that others won’t target us," Yue Jinghua indifferently said, then sighed in relief, "Don’t worry too much, let’s head back to the Duke Mansion first and plan carefully later."
