Chapter 1424: Fairy Zi Xiang
A Devil Domain entrance had suddenly appeared in the Dusk Dynasty. News of the new entrance instantly spread all over the Dusk Dynasty. The emperor became filled with worry the moment he received the news. He immediately sent the Sacred Martial General to lead an army and suppress the devil invasion. Additionally, he also called for the heroes of the world to come and exterminate the devil invaders. The Dusk Dynasty alone would have a hard time suppressing a devil invasion.
After all, each devil invasion was not a matter that only concerned a city or a kingdom. It was a matter that concerned the world. Naturally, the world had to work together to solve the issue.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun had yet to hear about the invasion. At present, he was still drinking with the second prince. They were all flanked by beauties while a group of dancers in revealing outfits were performing before them. Melodious zither music was being played, the beautiful music tugging at the heartstrings of everyone present.
At this point, the second prince had realized that Xiang Shaoyun wasn't a person who could be easily recruited. Thus, he changed his goal and aimed to become Xiang Shaoyun's close friend instead. For him, it was a decent consolation prize. After the song ended, everyone applauded the performance, presenting a harmonious atmosphere.
"A pot of liquor, a song, and a dance performance. This is how life should be lived," said Xiang Shaoyun before downing an entire glass of liquor, looking incredibly carefree. He was currently in a great mood.
The two beauties by his side were completely smitten by him. Both nestled in his embrace, their hands gently roaming around his body while they greedily breathed in his scent. They wanted nothing more than to push Xiang Shaoyun onto the floor and conquer him. This man was too charming. Even the second prince was akin to a side character before him. There was simply no comparing the two.
"Shaoyun is right. Music and liquor, to lie in the embrace of beauties while drunk. This is truly a wonderful way to live," said the second prince in agreement.
To lie in the embrace of beauties while drunk. The first part of this saying was to control all land under heaven when sober.
With Xiang Shaoyun's intelligence, he immediately noticed the second prince's ambition. But because he wasn't interested in getting involved in the affairs of the imperial clan, he smiled and said, "The second prince harbors great ambitions. It is unfortunate that Shaoyun is still unwilling to settle down. The world is wide. I still need to experience the splendors of the wide world."
That was Xiang Shaoyun's way of tactfully declining the second prince's recruitment. He would not limit himself to only a single territory.
The second prince smiled bitterly and said, "I know this is not where your ambitions lie. I won't force you. But I wonder if I am good enough to be your brother?"
His question alarmed all the Saints present, but their shock did not last long. Someone as exceptional as Xiang Shaoyun would be recruited by even the emperor. It wasn't surprising that the second prince wished to become his sworn brother, but what Xiang Shaoyun said next shocked them even more.
"Shaoyun is grateful for the favor, but those who have become my brothers are those who have gone through life and death with me. It is improper for us to become sworn brothers so soon after knowing each other," said Xiang Shaoyun in a straightforward manner.
As Xiang Shaoyun was someone who had once tasted betrayal, he greatly treasured those he considered brothers. It had naturally become much harder for one to become his brother, but the moment one won his acknowledgment, he would trust that person with his life.
The second prince's expression turned unsightly. As a prince, was he not qualified to become Xiang Shaoyun's sworn brother? That was pure disrespect.
Xiang Shaoyun continued, "Although we can't become brothers, if you don't mind, we can become friends. What do you think?"
That was his way of offering the second prince a way out of this awkward situation.
The second prince's expression eased. "That is a decent option as well."
Immediately, someone said, "I wonder if I can become your friend as well, Shaoyun?"
The crisp voice was extremely pleasant to the ears. A faint fragrance spread into the room as a beautiful woman noiselessly appeared before them.
A look of infatuation appeared on the second prince's face as he said, "So it's Fairy Zi Xiang. Greetings."
Even Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but praise inwardly, Truly a fairy.
The fairy was a purple-haired woman who looked to be about 20 years old. She had a flawlessly beautiful face, and her purple pupils radiated a mesmerizing luster that could easily send one into a reverie. The purple outfit she wore accentuated her perfect figure. Her bountiful peaks were extremely prominent while her ankles were as fair as ivory, giving one the urge to drop down and caress her legs.
A thin layer of purple aura surrounded her, making her look like an immortal who had descended from the heavens. This Fairy Zi Xiang was none other than the prettiest fairy in this branch of the Immortal Road Chamber. She was also far prettier than the Dusk Dynasty's number one beauty.
Xiang Shaoyun did not know who she was. After he took another sip from his glass, a cautious look surfaced in his eyes. He had a feeling this fairy was trying to approach him for an unknown reason.
You must be trying to tempt me with your beauty. Too bad this overlord is not that kind of man, thought Xiang Shaoyun inwardly.
If the second prince knew what Xiang Shaoyun was thinking, he would probably draw his sword in anger. Fairy Zi Xiang had never shown any favor to any man, not even to the first and the second princes. Was she the kind of woman to wantonly seduce others with her beauty?
Fairy Zi Xiang nodded at the second prince before looking at Xiang Shaoyun. She said, "Shaoyun, you have yet to answer my question."
As she spoke, she walked toward Xiang Shaoyun. As for the two beauties beside Xiang Shaoyun, they retreated noiselessly. In this branch of the Immortal Road Chamber, Fairy Zi Xiang was the true master. They naturally wouldn't dare to compete with their master.
Fairy Zi Xiang sat down beside Xiang Shaoyun. Instantly, a faint fragrance invaded Xiang Shaoyun's nostrils, seemingly trying to tug at his soul. The second prince widened his eyes in shock and envy, wondering why the fairy did not sit beside him instead.
"Who are you? Don't get too close to me. I don't even know you," said Xiang Shaoyun in an unromantic manner.
Fairy Zi Xiang was extremely beautiful. In fact, she was just as beautiful as Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine. However, Xiang Shaoyun was not the kind of guy who could be seduced just because one was a beauty.
Fairy Zi Xiang raised her brow. A sweet smile formed on her face as she said, "I was too presumptuous. My apologies. I am Zi Xiang, the manager of this place. I wonder if I can be your friend, Shaoyun?"
She spoke gently, her voice so tender all men would be intoxicated just listening to her.
However, Xiang Shaoyun remained unromantic and said, "I see, you're the manager here. Remember to give us a discount, then. Also, my mom told me that beauties are not to be trusted, so I'm afraid we can't be friends."
