Chapter 63 - Summoned By The Emperor
The manager of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was almost kneeling on the ground when he saw that Bai Rouyun had every intention of paying for the herbs.
On one side, he was happy that she wanted to pay. This would help their company in the future, but on the other hand, he was not sure if they would get punished.
Their boss had, after all, said that she could take anything for free, but now she was adamant about paying them, and this was enough to make him struggle internally.
At the same time, he also felt that it was quite hard to ask for money when he saw that the Eternal Shadow Palace's Lord was standing next to the woman.
Everyone knew that there was a good relations.h.i.+p between the s.h.i.+tian Tower and the Eternal Shadow Palace, so they would usually also gift him the things he wanted, as long as the things he asked for were not too expensive or important.
But the Eternal Shadow Lord was looking at the manager with cold eyes, and he dared not go against the woman's wish of paying for her wares.
After paying for them, a brilliant smile erupted on her lips, and her beauty was simply breathtakingly stunning.
Although not many were present within the Thousand Treasure Pavilion right now, those who were, were all curious people and observed the outstanding couple. When they saw Bai Rouyun's smile, all of them were stunned silly. Her beauty was simply enough to ruin cities and bring countries to their end.
But while many were amazed by her beauty, no one coveted her, as they could see that the man by her side was not ordinary.
Li Moyun noticed how everyone was dazed by her smile. While Bai Rouyun was completely unaware, full of happiness because she had gotten her herbs, Li Moyun's eyes were turning turbulent and unhappy. Why couldn't the face mask make her ugly? He did not like other people looking at his wife.
Grasping her hand within his own, Li Moyun made it clear to everyone that this woman was his. He glared at the many dazed men in the shop and began taking Bai Rouyun out of the pavilion. She had gotten her herbs already, did she really need to stay behind and stun more people?
Li Moyun suddenly realized how childish he was becoming, and a wry smile appeared on his lips. He could not help but feel a little guilty. He knew that Bai Rouyun was not intentionally attracting bees and b.u.t.terflies; her persona was just too stunning.
As they returned to the Yun Palace, Mo Chu was waiting for them at the gates. He was as emotionless as usual, but when he saw the two of them holding hands, and the attractive smile on Bai Rouyun's lips, alongside the happiness within Li Moyun's eyes, he could not help but smile as well. He was happy that his Lord had finally begun looking more human.
As they entered the Palace, Elder Sun came towards them. His face was dark, and a storm was brewing in his eyes.
"The Emperor has summoned you," he said to Li Moyun. "I think he is planning on sending you to the war front again. They are losing the war right now, so they need someone who can turn the tides around; and if you cannot turn it around, at least you will die there, so that is one less trouble."
Li Moyun's eyes turned dark and turbulent. They were full of anger. He could end the war with a single wave of his hand, but he refused to use his power to fight against mortals. If he truly did use his cultivation base to kill them all, then it was obvious that others would find him, not to mention that he would be ma.s.sacring people who could not fight back.
In the cultivation world, it was a real taboo to fight against people who had no cultivation base. Although some evil pract.i.tioners killed innocent people, most would never ma.s.sacre mortals, and if it were known that he had done so, all the righteous experts would start hunting him down.
He would be able to fight against the cultivators of the other army, but the war itself had to be fought by the soldiers.
"I will go see if that is his intention," Li Moyun sighed. If his father truly sent him to the battlefield, then he had no way of avoiding it. All he could do was to finish the war as soon as possible, but since he had to rely on the soldiers, it might take him up to a year.
Being without Bai Rouyun for a year was already enough to make him feel uncomfortable. But he also knew that he could not bring her with him. She was still so weak, although she had many skills, it was easy to be killed on the battlefield, even if she was behind the great army.
Bai Rouyun was also slightly stunned when she heard that Li Moyun might have to leave for the battlefield. She was feeling a strange sense of loss.
But she was used to being alone, and she did not understand this weird feeling of loss, so she just shook her head and took a deep breath, ignoring the feelings.
But her happy mood from having gotten her hands on all those herbs had lessened, and she was suddenly quite depressed.
Li Moyun noticed that Bai Rouyun was suddenly feeling a little depressed, and he reached his hand out and rubbed her head. "Go and cultivate," he said gently to her, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head. She turned around and moved towards the bedroom where she could enter the Primal Chaos Dimension.
