Chapter 541: Chapter 418: Causing Trouble in the Main City (2nd Update)

At this moment, Lei Leian, the middle-aged beauty Feng Ming, and the red-robed youth Lance had just taken their seats at the head of the table. Lei Leian’s charming face was filled with a smile. As she was about to speak, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded from outside, startling her slightly. Next to her, Lance furrowed his brow. This grand ceremony was entirely his doing. Among those who came to offer their congratulations, only he and Feng Ming held the status of City Lord. Who else dared to laugh so loudly outside at this moment?

Just as they were about to inquire, there were a few grunts from outside the hall, and then, four white-robed men were thrown heavily inside.

These four white-robed men were the guards who had been standing outside the hall. They presumably tried to stop outsiders from intruding, but instead, they were thrown in by the intruder.

"How audacious—" Lance lightly waved the Red-Jade Scepter he held in his hand and immediately stood up, his red robe billowing as if in an unfelt wind.

In such a solemn occasion, aside from the City Lord and them, no one else dared to enter this central hall. And now someone dares to barge in? This was outrageous!

Before Lance could even react, a dismissive laughter rang out from outside. "Lance, what kind of attitude is this? I’m here to congratulate Miss Lei Leian in good faith. You’re just a guest; what’s there for you to express?"

As the hearty laughter echoed, a man of somewhat slender stature walked in, leading several others.

Seeing this somewhat small man, Lance’s face slightly changed, not only his, but the middle-aged beauty Feng Ming also had a slight change in her face. Only Lei Leian was a bit confused as she looked at the thin man who had walked in. Obviously, as a young princess who had always grown up in the comfort of her own nest, she did not recognize him. Instead, she smiled and said, "You’re here to congratulate me? Thank you, please, everyone, have a seat."

This thin man seemed to be around forty to fifty years old and had a face full of short black beard. The few people following him all wore black clothes. They, too, were relatively small, although they were not as small as a member of the Dwarf Race who were less than a meter tall. However, these people were also all around one and a half to one and six meters tall.

"Ha ha, the young girl is polite. Lance, you should learn from Miss Lei Leian." Despite his age, the thin man bore a wild and arrogant expression. His tone was rude, and after entering the hall, he did not sit down. Instead, he clapped his hands and commanded, "Present the gifts."

Immediately, outside the hall, a group of black-robed men -- also relatively small in stature -- lifted various colored gifts and moved them into the hall.

Lance’s eyebrows furrowed together in pure anger, he coldly stared at the black-clothed thin man, suppressing his fury.

Lei Leian did not know who these people were, but seeing such a haul of gifts being brought in, she was surprised. She was not stupid, she noticed that this thin man seemed to be at odds with Lance. Since they had brought gifts to offer congratulations, she, as the host, naturally could not refuse. Besides, she was in a good mood today, so seeing such numerous gifts, she couldn’t help but smile, "Why are you bringing so many precious gifts? I’m afraid Lei Leian can’t accept them..." She saw that some of the gifts were quite rare -- they were undeniably valuable.

The thin man simply laughed: "Of course you can accept them. Lei Leian, this is the betrothal gift I’m offering on behalf of my son. Your grandfather and I had an agreement that you were engaged to my son since childhood. Once you inherit the ’City of the Sky’, it’s time for my son to bring the betrothal gifts and take you home. How could the betrothal gifts not be precious?"

Lei Leian was taken aback, and there was an uproar amongst the many City Lords present in the hall.

Lei Leian was engaged with the son of this thin man since childhood? And these gifts were the betrothal gifts?

Before Lei Leian could understand what was happening, Lance, on the other side, could no longer suppress his anger and growled, "Shut up! Majatai, you deliberately came here to cause trouble—This is simply intolerable—" Suddenly, his red robe flared up, like a gust of fiery wind sweeping towards the thin man.

Then, Lei Leian finally came to, understanding the meaning behind the words this thin man had just spoken. Unable to hold back her embarrassment and anger, her face turned red.

The middle-aged beauty Feng Ming at her side was also somewhat angry and coldly said, "This Majatai is truly outrageous. He is fabricating preposterous stories. Lei Leian, when you were just born, your aunt Ya and Uncle Lei were still in this world. He didn’t have the courage to face them, so how could there be an engagement? Now he knows your grandfather just passed away and has come here to spout these nonsense..." Feng Ming’s Crystal Scepter trembled slightly in her hand, seemingly due to her anger.

"Who is he?" Lei Leian was angrier than ever but composed herself and inquired. Feng Ming calmly responded, "’Majatai’ of ’Sand City’."

Lei Leian’s heart shivered. She did not recognize this black-clothed thin man, but she had heard of ’Sand City’. Instantly, she understood the reason behind his visit today. He came to intentionally disrupt her succession ceremony and insult them.

Lance was enraged, his attack was like a ball of flame. However, this thin man merely laughed and said, "This matter is absolutely true. When Lei Leian was just born, and my son was born a few days before her, her grandfather begged me to establish a family connection. I was hounded by him until I agreed. You’re telling me the old man didn’t tell you about this? It’s too outrageous, considering the lavish gifts I prepared for today."

The thin man casually waved his hand and dismissed Lance’s attack with a single palm. With a muffled "thud", Lance was sent reeling backwards from the impact, staggering several steps back. His handsome face flushed, showing he was at a clear disadvantage.

"Hehe, Lance, it’s been a while. You are still just as untalented as ever." The petite man, Majatai, shook his head constantly. The middle-aged beauty, Feng Ming, finally came forward, coldly stating, "Majatai, don’t go too far, back off. If you push too hard, it won’t end well for either of us."

Majatai laughed and said, "Feng Ming, I heard your sister, Feng Ya, came back a few days ago? I thought you guys would make some big moves, trying to summon them to support you again? how disappointing..." Majatai chuckled and shook his head: "Unfortunately, they left without making any noise...I initially thought there would be a good show to watch. With everyone summoning, it would be interesting to see who could summon more. We could’ve turned the world upside down, how fun that would be, ha, haha——"

Majatai laughed wildly, his eyes revealed his arrogance. Clearly, he regarded no one, not even Lei Leian’s mother who had once returned to this world, as worthy of his attention.

With each word, Lei Leian grew angrier. She couldn’t help yelling, "You old turtle, get out of my throne room, now! Guards, kick him out——"

The ’swish’ sound resounded. In a blink, many barefoot men and women in white robes gathered. They were all Seventh Stage Experts, and quickly surrounded Majatai.

Majatai appeared unfazed, looking at the crowd around him and sneered: "A bunch of losers."

Middle-aged beauty Feng Ming quickly said, "Stop, everyone, back off."

The men and women in white robes glanced at each other and then slowly stepped back.

"Majatai, what on earth do you intend?" Middle-aged beauty Feng Ming, who seemed to have strong restraint, also tightly gripped Lei Leian’s slender hand, preventing her from losing her temper.

The surrounding City Lords were watching. The "City Lord of Ocean Main City", Feng Ming, was apparently very wary of this petite man Majatai.

Su Yu in the crowd was also slightly frowning, this was the first time he had encountered such an arrogant person with such tremendous strength.

Majatai, with his strong ability, wouldn’t be a shallow person. His current arrogance and self-importance must be deliberately acting out, blatantly humiliating Lei Leian and Feng Ming.

Hearing the middle-aged woman’s inquiry, Majatai chuckled and said, "What am I up to? Feng Ming, I am here today, with great sincerity, haven’t you seen all the precious gifts I brought? As long as Lei Leian agrees to marry my son, we will become in-laws. From then on, we will be one family. The whole world will be ours."

Outraged, Lei Leian yelled, "Shut up——" Lance also exclaimed angrily, "Enough——"

The middle-aged woman also sternly said, "Majatai, I was trying to be serious. If you want to make trouble, don’t overdo it."

Majatai was about to reply with a smirk when suddenly, there were exclamations and noisy sounds from the square outside, followed by a few loud bangs and screams.

Caught off guard, the people in the hall were shocked. Majatai, however, remained calm and turned around casually: "Did the young master take a fancy to someone else’s girl again?"

Another person chimed in, "Yes, the young master had his eye on a few girls. They naively tried to resist but everything is settled now."

Majatai gave a nod of approval then turned back to Feng Ming and asked, "Feng Ming, how do you feel about my proposal? As Lei Leian’s aunt, you can make this decision. As long as Lei Leian marries my son, I will leave here immediately."

Feng Ming finally lost her temper, her brows knitted together and she angrily shouted, "Majatai, you’ve gone too far..."

Just then, a gleam emitted from the crystal scepter in her hand. This luminescence fluctuated and faintly displayed a human shape.

The sudden appearance of the figure surprised every City Lord in the hall. Then a mocking voice came out from the crystal glow, "Majatai, you have got a lot of nerve, daring to cause trouble here? Don’t you know when to retreat?"

Majatai seemed surprised by the appearance of the figure from the crystal glow, he paused for a moment, his initial intimidating air slightly diminished, and he then laughed: "Dear guest, I, Majatai, did not come here to cause trouble. I’m here to give gifts..." (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com; there are more Chapters, support the author, support legitimate reading!)
