Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 933 - 51: Humans and Dragons

After parting ways with Ye Huacheng, Yue Nian stayed at the North Wing.

He couldn’t understand why he had rejected Ye Huacheng’s invitation for a welcoming banquet. Twenty years ago, he would have gladly accepted Ye Huacheng’s arrangements.

The Dragon Clan’s long lifespan would be dull without some entertainment.

Especially the Golden Dragon Clan, whose members had remarkable talent, providing them with better chances to break through the Holy Beast bottleneck reaching the Body Seizing Realm, or even the Immortal Realm.

Currently, there are quite a few Dragon Clan Upper Gods in the Sun Plane.

Thus, among the Golden Dragon Clan, only a few people devoted themselves to diligent cultivation, while most were carefree and playful.

No matter male or female, they adhered to a common belief that one partner was not enough, the same went for offspring.

For instance, Sun Dragon Clan Leader Yue Potian had eight wives and dozens of concubines, with offspring numbering in the hundreds.

Ye Huacheng probably shared similar views, and when Yue Nian was young, he did not find anything wrong with such beliefs.

But after not seeing each other for twenty years, their friendship remained unchanged, yet Yue Nian no longer agreed with Ye Huacheng’s attitude towards life.

He didn’t know the reason, but deep down, he was already fed up with the indulgent days of his early years.

Unable to sleep after nightfall, he went to the Observatory, took out the fine wine he carried with him, and drank with the wind, accompanied by the moon.

It was supposed to be an extremely pleasant evening, yet at the third period of the night, he keenly caught sight of a shadow entering the Observatory Tower.

It was a Human Race woman, initially, Yue Nian thought she was a concubine hidden in the mansion by Ye Huacheng.

The atmosphere of enjoying the wind and moon alone was abruptly broken, and Yue Nian was a bit displeased, intending to leave when the woman happened to walk underneath a merfolk pearl.

The gentle pearl light shone on the woman’s face, her elegant features, her seemingly transparent skin, instantly took Yue Nian’s breath away.

He couldn’t help but stop and gaze at the woman through the layers of sheer curtains.

Despite her age not being young, she emitted a mature woman’s charm, but her eyes, like those of a curious young doe, possessed a maiden’s innocence.

Yue Nian was entranced, watching from the side, momentarily forgetting to leave.

Unlike the women Ye Huacheng favored, Yue Nian immediately dismissed the thought that she was his friend’s woman.

In his heart, a gentle joy arose, like recovering a beloved object lost for many years.

Inside the Observatory, the True Dragon Dagger on Lie Rou suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.

Lie Rou was startled, lifted her head abruptly, and the book in her hand closed with a snap.

"Who’s there?" Lie Rou glanced around, and from a certain part of the Observatory Tower came the sound of a bottle falling.

She followed the sound, and the windowsill was empty except for a wine bottle that wasn’t fully drunk.

Lie Rou’s eyelids twitched suddenly, she awkwardly held the bottle.

The same situation, twenty years ago...

She smiled bitterly, shook her head—it couldn’t possibly be him. He should be somewhere on the Moon Plane, how could he be in Huasha City.

Lie Rou sighed softly, closed the book in her hand, as the sky brightened, and the night quietly passed.

Lie Rou left the Observatory Tower, not long after she departed, Yue Nian appeared in the tower again, with the faint fragrance from Lie Rou lingering in the air, familiar yet strange.

Who exactly is she?

Yue Nian didn’t want to disturb her abruptly; feeling excited, he went to find Ye Huacheng.

Ye Huacheng was a late riser, being dragged out of bed by his friend left him a bit unhappy.

"Who is the woman in the Observatory Tower?" Yue Nian’s question puzzled Ye Huacheng—woman?

There were plenty of women in the City Lord Mansion, but where did a woman in the Observatory Tower come from?

"She’s a Human Race woman, about this tall, looking very delicate," as Yue Nian described, Ye Huacheng suddenly understood.

"Are you talking about Lady Lie? I bought her from the Moonlight Pavilion. Isn’t she nice, a lovable woman, elegant as an orchid, slim and upright," Ye Huacheng glanced at Yue Nian, initially thinking his friend had changed, now seeing he was the same as before.

A woman from the Moonlight Pavilion—wasn’t she Ye Huacheng’s new lover? Yue Nian felt a wave of annoyance, letting go of Ye Huacheng’s hand.

"If you’re interested, once I achieve dual cultivation with her, I’ll let you enjoy her for a while," Ye Huacheng chuckled, but his sentence had just finished when Yue Nian lifted him abruptly, eyes blazing with anger.

"Ye Huacheng, say that again!" The sudden burst of anger surprised even Yue Nian himself.

"You’re crazy, why are you so angry? She’s just a Human Race woman. Humans are lowly, their lifespan barely surpassing a hundred years. If you don’t play, do you intend to grow old with her?" Ye Huacheng was somewhat annoyed too.

Lifespan barely a hundred years, grow old together.

Yue Nian knew he had lost control, and silently remained with his eyes flickering, not sure what he was thinking.

"I think you’re probably worried about the Cangdai Goddess issue, which is why you’re acting erratically. The Cangdai Goddess will arrive this afternoon. I’ve already commanded the Mansion to be redecorated and invited a Female Ceremony Officer. Tonight, there will be a banquet; I’ve invited the city’s most renowned theater troupe to entertain. Look, here’s the program list. If there are any critical errors, please point them out early," Ye Huacheng tidied his nightwear, still slightly irritated in tone.

Seeing Ye Huacheng’s accommodating arrangements all for his sake, Yue Nian felt a bit embarrassed too; he patted Ye Huacheng’s shoulder, half apologetically, half gratefully saying, "No need. You’re always thorough in making arrangements for welcoming banquets. As long as you’re satisfied, it’s fine."

Ye Huacheng laughed heartily, "Why would we, as brothers, be concerned about such things? Come, let’s go and inspect the Mansion."

Meanwhile, after Lie Rou returned to her room, the maids from the City Lord Mansion soon brought her fresh outfits and jewelry.

Lie Rou couldn’t refuse, so she had to change clothes and, accompanied by the maid, went to check on the Cangdai Goddess’s chamber.

"Who is being entertained at the City Lord Mansion? Why such an extravagant display?" Lie Rou was unfamiliar with the Holy Beast Clan’s matters, and as she walked, she only felt that the City Lord Mansion in Huasha City was extremely lavish.

"It’s the Sun Plane’s Goddess. Her arrival is for betrothing with our Sun Dragon Clan’s Lord Sect Leader," the maid replied casually.

Upon hearing, Lie Rou asked again, "What position is the Sect Leader?"

"Sect Leader is the second most powerful figure in authority within the Sun Dragon Clan. In Human Race terms, he would be akin to a Prime Minister. Our Sect Leader is very handsome, much more so than the City Lord," the maid knew Lie Rou was Human Race, prior Ye Huacheng instructed to satisfy the lady’s wants as much as possible, so she tended carefully.

After hearing this, Lie Rou’s eyes lit up, quietly calculating in her mind.
