Chapter 427: Chapter 426: The Most Beautiful Under Heaven

At the banquet in the Imperial Palace.

The First Princess had just explained the identity of the Xu Family Leader to Bai Huatian, and she returned to look for Lin Bai at the banquet.

But she didn’t see any trace of Lin Bai.

"Hmm? Where did the Prince Consort go?" She asked, pulling aside a eunuch.

"Prince Consort, Prince Consort, Prince Consort... this slave doesn’t know." The eunuch was terrified, and knelt on the ground.

"Liar! I will cut off your tongue, believe it or not!" said the First Princess, her beautiful eyes hardened with a murder intention.

"First Princess, please have mercy. I really don’t know where the Prince Consort went, but I did see Prince Chu leading the Prince Consort in the direction of the Fengyue Square." The eunuch, scared and sweating heavily, was shivering as he spoke.

"What is Fengyue Square?" the First Princess asked again.

Gulp!

This was a trap for the little eunuch, who was in great distress.

He forced a smile and said, "Fengyue Square is the biggest of the Fengyue Places in the Imperial City, it is... a place to find women, the kind of women that can be played with for money...!"

Clang!

After hearing the little eunuch’s words, the First Princess radiated a suffocating killing intent, like the cold light of an unrivaled sharp sword being unsheathed.

"I see. Now, call over the Imperial Army Commander, Dan Fang."

The First Princess waved her hand, dismissing the eunuch.

The eunuch quickly left as if a heavy burden was lifted from his shoulders.

After a while, Dan Fang walked over, radiating righteousness. "Greetings, First Princess."

The First Princess’s pretty face turned icy: "Dan Fang, gather one million of the Imperial Guard. And follow me to a place."

One million Imperial Guards!

Hearing this number, Dan Fang asked in surprise, "What happened, First Princess? Has the Dayue Kingdom come back?"

"No." The First Princess shook her head.

"Then why do we need so many soldiers?" Dan Fang asked curiously.

"Fengyue Square."

The First Princess said coldly, "You have a quarter of an hour to get ready. If you’re not ready in time, place your own head at the city gate."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Not daring to question further, Dan Fang immediately left to mobilize the Imperial Guard.

A quarter of an hour later, one million Imperial Guards were standing outside the Imperial Palace.

"Let’s go!"

The First Princess mounted her warhorse, leading one million soldiers out of the Imperial City.

...

Lin Bai stood on the second floor, the entire crowd watching him in shocked silence.

"It was he who single-handedly reversed the imminent defeat of the Southern Region!"

"With one stroke of his sword, he nearly split the Imperial City of the Dayue Kingdom!"

"Wow, am I dreaming? I actually saw the Ironblood Sword King!"

The warriors on the first floor were staring at Lin Bai, as if they were looking at a rare treasure that might disappear at any moment.

The Old Madame was also looking at Lin Bai as if else Guy

"He might be the most prestigious guest that Fengyue Square has had since its founding," the Old Madame said, gaping.

Seeing that the entire audience was silently staring at Lin Bai, Chu Jiangliu said displeased, "What are you looking at? You’re not digging your eyes out. Old Madame, the Sword King has won just now. Shouldn’t we arrange for the Sword King and Hong Su Lady?"

Reminded by Lin Bai, the Old Madame instantly came back to her senses and happily said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, come, come, come, Sword King, please come in. Sword King, could you autograph for my store? As a Sword Cultivator, your sword skill must be extraordinary."

Lin Bai gave a helpless smile.

Lin Bai himself didn’t expect that his appearance would cause such a big sensation.

Hong Su smiled, "So you are the recently famous Ironblood Sword King. I’ve heard a lot about you."

Lin Bai just smiled lightly, "My little reputation, I’m afraid it’s not worth mentioning in front of you, Miss."

Red Su gave a light smile, "There’s quite a crowd here. Not exactly the spot for serious conversation. I’ll go freshen up in my room. Sword Prince can join me anytime he wants."

As the old madame led Red Su up to the third floor, she said, "Miss Red Su, the Sword Prince is quite a rare talent. Make sure to seize the opportunity."

Red Su chuckled, "Alright, I get it."

"Ah, splendid."

"We might have a golden phoenix flying out of the sparrow’s nest."

The old madame was overjoyed upon hearing Red Su’s agreement.

Chu Jiangliu playfully commented, "Brother Lin Bai, you certainly are fortunate."

Helpless, Lin Bai laughed, "I’m merely curious about her identity. Can a breathtakingly beautiful woman who carries a zither worth billions linger aimlessly in a place like Fengyue?"

Chu Jiangliu chuckled, "Ah, I understand. Men have two hobbies: enticing virtuous women off the right path, and encouraging courtesans to turn virtuous."

Lin Bai was left speechless.

"Well said, Brother Chu."

"Men have two hobbies: enticing virtuous women off the right path, and encouraging courtesans to turn virtuous."

"Brother Chu, well said."

Lijian Xing, Sun Qian, and Wang Hao heartily agreed with this sentiment.

Chu Jiangliu immediately broke into loud laughter: "I’m joking! I have spent quite some time in the Fengyue places, it wasn’t for nothing."

The old madame came down and said to Lin Bai, "Oh dear, the Sword Prince had to wait for a while. I hope you won’t hold it against a small fry like me. I’ll take you to Miss Red Su’s boudoir now."

"Let’s go."

Lin Bai gently nodded.

Chu Jiangliu laughed, "Alright, Brother Lin Bai, have fun upstairs. We’ll enjoy ourselves down here."

Lin Bai smiled lightly.

The old madame guided Lin Bai to the third floor, remarking along the way, "Sword Prince, our Miss Red Su is quite gentle. Make sure not to hurt her too much, hehe."

Lin Bai could only reply with a bitter smile.

Continuing her speech, the old madame said, "When Miss Red Su first came here, I recognized that she was no ordinary woman. She is bound to become a queen in the future."

"And, Sword Prince, I honestly mean no bragging when I say this - in terms of figure and beauty, even in this vast Imperial Capital, Miss Red Su is still unparalleled."

"The consorts in the Imperial Palace, even the First Princess, couldn’t hold a candle to her."

"Is that really true?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Sword Prince, you must believe this. After she removes her veil and you see her full face, you’ll understand," the old madame insisted.

"We’re here."

The old madame had reached the door of a red mahogany room and swung it open.

The room was elegantly furnished. A fragrant scent wafted through the air from the incense burning on the table.

"I’ll let you be now," the old madame smiled as she said.

"Go and find Chu Jiangliu. He’ll handle your reward," Lin Bai lightly responded.

"Oh, Sword Prince, you’re talking like a stranger now. What reward are you talking about? I understand. Take your time and chat with Miss Red Su." The old madame smiled as blissfully as a blooming flower.

After the old madame left, the door closed tightly behind her.

In the room sat a beautiful woman.

Red Su’s beauty was different from Ye Suxin’s and the First Princess’s.

Ye Suxin was proud. Ever since she emerged from the Miracle Ridge, she had always been revered. She was an unattainable phoenix, making all men beneath her kneel.

The First Princess was heroic. With a unique appeal to her, she provoked a man’s desire to conquer.

Then there was Tiehai Tang, whom Lin Bai had seen before.

Tiehai Tang was wild. She had an untamed beauty, resembling a female huntress from the depths of the forest - experienced, wild, fearless.

But Red Su was different from them all.

Red Su was gentle. Her gentleness had the power to melt all the ice and snow under heaven, to turn even the most ruthless killers around, to make a monk who had cultivated for a thousand years fall back into the mortal world, to make the strongest sword cultivator lay down his treasured sword.

There was a soft look on Red Su’s face as she sat there, a delicate smile playing on her lips. Her sparkling eyes seemed to wipe away all the gloom in the world.
