Chapter 540: Chapter 417: Ocean and Fire Hell (First Update)

Su Yun became startled, and she and several other women turned around. They saw that at some unknown point, right behind them, stood a young man.

This man was strikingly handsome, although he had a pale complexion as if deprived of sunlight for days. His lips were somewhat blood-red in contrast to his pale skin. His entire body radiated a chill stiffness, yet his features were exquisitely refined. He was clad in a set of luxurious, black clothes, which made him look nearly perfect in his handsomeness.

Seeing Su Yun turn her head and look at him, the man squeezed out a smile on his pale face and repeated, "I bought it for you." He stepped forward, took out two "Day Coins", and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper graciously accepted it. Su Yun was taken aback and asked, "Hey, who are you? Why are you paying for me?" She had not expected that a man would suddenly appear and pay for her. Lei Rui and Zhou Birong also sensed something unusual, but they were not afraid.

For one, it was broad daylight, and the place was bustling with people. For another, they had Su Yu, the "Black Iron City Lord" behind them. With Su Yu present, they did not have to worry.

The man in black smiled and said, "I am Count Yakri from ’Bloodline City’. Your beauty made my heart race. This dress is my gift to you."

Su Yun blushed, spat in disgust, and hurriedly took off the dress she was wearing. She handed it back to him and retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? How irritating! You’re crazy! Let’s go." She grabbed Lei Rui and Zhou Birong and walked away, ignoring the man in black.

The man in black looked at the dress in his hand and a disappointed look crossed his face. Two men rushed out from behind him, just about to yell at Su Yun. The count quickly blocked them and shook his head, saying, "Don’t be rude to her." He looked intoxicated again and muttered, "Just like this... I like this type... I, Yakri, have finally found my princess." He handed the dress to his subordinates and hurried to catch up.

HIs two subordinates shook their heads in bewilderment, unable to understand what had gotten into their young master today. They saw the woman’s fierce and wild demeanor, not a bit likable. How could their master look at her as if he had seen a fairy? Could it be that there is no accounting for taste, and the young master actually likes this type of wild woman?

Outside, the crowd was bustling, and the atmosphere was lively. In one of the magnificent palaces of the Main City, Leian was smiling as she watched the bustling crowd on the square below from a distance, a joyful expression on her face.

Leian always enjoyed such lively scenes. The person hosting the celebration apparently knew her childlike preferences well, hence, he had organized such a grand and lively celebration.

Four maids were helping Leian get dressed at her side, helping her get into the most regal dress. She had always been like a princess, but now, she was about to succeed and become the queen of a hundred cities.

Next to her was a middle-aged beauty, her aunt Feng Ming. At this moment, Feng Ming smiled and asked, "Leian, are you happy?"

Leian hummed in agreement, nodded, and the smile on her face already showed her current mood.

"All this was prepared by Lance for you. I’m glad you like it," Feng Ming smiled.

Leian’s eyes lit up, she smiled and said, "Brother Lance? It’s been a while since I’ve seen him. So he prepared all these? Wasn’t he supposed to be overseeing Fire Hell Main City? How did he find the time? Did he come? Why didn’t he come to see me first?" Leian pouted, somewhat unhappy.

Feng Ming chuckled and said, "Wasn’t Lance trying to give you a surprise? You will see him at the succession ceremony later. Actually, everything this time was meticulously prepared by him. Initially, I thought it was too much and worried that you wouldn’t like it. But it turns out, Lance is the one who truly understands you even better than me."

Leian giggled and said, "How can that be? Auntie, you are the dearest and nicest person to me."

Feng Ming smiled and asked, "Then what about your parents?"

Leian’s face darkened slightly, and she retorted, "Them? Humph..." She shook her head, clearly unwilling to say any more.

Feng Ming could tell that Leian was still very dissatisfied with her mother’s unexplained departure.

Upon arriving at the magnificent main hall, Su Yu was guided to take a seat on a chair. The two sides of the hall were already crowded with people. Among them, Su Yu saw familiar faces such as the Great General, the dwarvish City Lord of Earth’s Core City, the Half-human City Lord, and the City Lord of Bloodline City. The Great General even nodded his head in greeting to Su Yu.

Su Yu responded with a smile.

Unlike the bustling outside, this central hall remained remarkably quiet.

Although the celebration was immense and lively, the actual coronation ceremony was quite simple and solemn. When the predetermined moment arrived, the bells outside the hall rang melodically. Subsequently, Lei Leian, who wore a crown and held a jade scepter, walked through the crowd on both sides of the hall, guided by two rows of women. Su Yu, along with all other City Lords present, respectfully stood up and waited for Lei Leian to take her seat.

Su Yu watched Lei Leian from a distance, taking in her appearance. She looked regal in her magnificent robes, and while holding the Main City’s scepter and wearing her crown, he couldn’t help but secretly marvel at her.

The aura of nobility exuded by Lei Leian was something that cannot be replicated by ordinary people. This demeanor of hers, even observed from afar, gave Su Yu a sense of inadequacy.

After Lei Leian took her seat, she lifted her scepter. After a few simple steps of oath-taking, all the City Lords could sit down again. Just as Su Yu seated himself, a melodious voice came from outside: "Master of the Ocean Main City, Lord Feng Ming, is here——"

With these words, all the City Lords in the gathering were taken aback. Then Lei Leian stood up with a smile, and Su Yu, who hadn’t even gotten settled, had to stand up again with everyone else. Under Lei Leian’s leadership, they went out to greet their guest. Su Yu then saw a noble middle-aged woman, holding a crystal scepter, representing her authority as a Main City Lord, walking towards them with a smile. After she took Lei Leian’s hand, the two women, each holding a scepter, returned to the hall together.

The hundreds of City Lords around were in awe.

It was at this moment that Su Yu realized that there were more than one Main Cities in the world. Apart from the "Sky Main City", there was also an "Ocean Main City", and the middle-aged woman before them was clearly the Master of the "Ocean Main City".

Lei Leian’s ascension to the throne, the arrival of another City Lord to congratulate, was an immense honor. Everyone in the hall could sense that Lei Leian’s status was far from ordinary.

Within only a few seconds of Su Yu taking his seat, the melodious voice rang out again: "’Fire Hell Main City’s Lord, Sir Lance, has arrived——"

Su Yu was frustratingly forced to stand up once more, while Lei Leian’s eyes brightened at the announcement. The middle-aged woman, Feng Ming, commented with a smile, "This young fellow, he finally showed up."

Even before Lei Leian led everyone outside to welcome him, hearty laughter could be heard, "Lei Leian, congratulations——" Everyone then saw a flash of red as if flames were dancing. When their eyes steadied, they noticed a handsome young man, dressed in red robes and holding a red jade scepter, walking in with a smile. Lei Leian walked up to greet him, giggling, "Brother Lance, I didn’t expect you to actually come."

Lance laughed heartily, then respectfully bowed to Feng Ming before addressing Lei Leian, "Also, my father asked me to relay a message. He’s tied up with matters and couldn’t make it, but he’s sent me with a present to congratulate you." As he spoke, he waved his hand and a delicately carved jade statue was carried in from outside.

The jade statue was an exact representation of Lei Leian, crowned and scepter in hand. Its majesty and noble spirit had been captured to the utmost.

The standing jade statue was placed in the center, right within the royal throne, bringing immense joy to Lei Leian. Meanwhile, the City Lords around were left astounded as they realized that apart from the "Sky Main City", there were also "Ocean Main City" and "Fire Hell Main City". What shocked them even more was that the Lord of "Fire Hell Main City" was such a young man.

Su Yu, observing from a distance, felt that Lance, the Lord of Fire Hell, and Lei Leian standing together, made a perfect match. Both of them emitted an equal sense of nobility and grace, each holding a scepter, and each being a City’s Main Lord.

Having had this thought, Su Yu couldn’t help but smile, suddenly feeling a touch of boredom. Just as he turned his head, he heard Nian Nujiao whispering beside him, "I bet that ’Fire Hell Main City’s’ Lance is smitten with Lei Leian. Look at the way he is looking at her. Trust me, with my years of experience, I can’t be wrong."

Su Yu felt a jolt in his heart, then laughed softly, "Madam Nian, you have extensive experience in this area?"

Nian Nujiao threw him a coquettish look, giggled softly and replied, "Of course, City Lord Su, would you like a try?"

Su Yu was caught off guard by Nian Nujiao’s explicit proposition, leaving him flustered. Nian Nujiao covered her mouth and laughed softly at Su Yu’s reaction, finding his naivety regarding such matters amusing. Just as she was about to tease him again, a loud laugh came from outside the hall, "What’s stopping me? I too am here to congratulate your master——" (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com.
