CHAPTER 1 - PRIMER

Someone was laughing.

The laughter was so soft that it was like the spring catkins brushing against one's face, or like a beautiful dream under the balmy Mayflower.

The iron horses in front of the eaves clanged in the wind, making the dark winter night seem even more desolate.

The Shura opened his eyes in the darkness.

The thin silk curtain slightly trembled, and a few pink Plum Blossom Flowers floated in from the window, landing leisurely on the black hair draped over the pillow. The color was exceptionally beautiful in the darkness. The Shura could even smell the lingering fragrance of the flowers.

Who's there? The Shura sat up, his goose-yellow silk pajamas gently sliding down, revealing half of his snow-white breasts. She hurriedly covered her clothes.

However, the surroundings were completely silent. No one replied.

The sound of the iron horses became even more rapid. Ding . For some reason, the Shura had forgotten about fear. He actually thought that it was extremely pleasant to listen to.

Haoyue, boundless snow. The long song ended, and the moon was gone. For love's sake, we have an appointment in three lifetimes. "

There was a faint sound of singing.

Where did it come from?

The Shura stood up, unable to identify the source of the song.

The song and the clanging of the iron horses grew louder and louder, as if the singer was riding on the wind, getting closer and closer. They got closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye —

At the window.

The Shura's breath seemed to freeze in that instant.

Suddenly, the heavy curtain before the window began to flutter. At one point, the Shura saw a face deep within the curtain.

A man's face.

Although it was vague, for some reason, he felt that his face was extremely handsome and masculine.

Separated by layers of curtains, the Shura felt this intense aura, and for some inexplicable reason, his face turned red.

Who are you? The Shura's voice trembled.

Eyebrow Monarch, it's me. The man approached slowly, his voice low but charming.

Don't come over... I am not Eyebrow Monarch. You must have recognized the wrong person. The Shura tightened his grip on his belt.

The man smiled slightly. He didn't know why, but his smile contained a hint of bitterness and sadness. He stood in silence for a moment before suddenly closing in. Just as he was about to touch the Shura's body, the Shura couldn't help but cry out in alarm. It wanted to dodge, but the next moment, it was completely shocked.

It was unknown when she had suddenly become transparent and floated in the air! She lowered her head to look at the scene in front of her. It was a strange place!

In front of the tall and beautiful carved window, a woman wearing a thin veil quietly stood there, sighing softly.

The golden full moon, the blue sky, cut out her extremely beautiful figure. Her beautiful black hair danced wildly in the wind, like a black veil covering her face.

Eyebrow Monarch!

It turned out that the man was calling for her!

The woman did not turn back as the man called out softly from behind. He opened his arms and embraced her as he buried his head in his fluttering black hair.

I've finally found you … Eyebrow Monarch. "

His voice was indescribably gentle and affectionate, enough to make all the women in the world fall because of it.

The woman, however, smiled. It was a smile of extreme gentleness, charm, and sadness. She gently broke free of the man's arms, turned, and took two steps back to steady herself.

With a light wave of her hand, the gauze covering her shoulders suddenly fell. She lifted her head, revealing the beautiful curves of a woman. It was very tempting to see a dot of red mole on the center of Shuang Xue's chest.

Eyebrow Monarch, you are still as beautiful as ever …

The man stared at her dumbly, his eyes filled with emotion.

Her slender white fingers caressed the man's face. Tell me, why are you looking for me?

I'm going to take you away... Go where you've always wanted to go …"

Really? It's a pity you're too late... I don't have a heart anymore, how can I follow you? "

The woman smiled, and the red mole on her chest suddenly split open, revealing a black hole. Bright red blood, like a fountain, shot out in all directions, splashing onto Shura's face.

The Shura, who had never seen such a shocking scene, cried out crazily in mid-air.

CHAPTER 2 - PHOENIX QUADRUPLE

Asura, Asura! Someone was patting her on the shoulder.

The world seemed to have started to revolve, and his consciousness seemed to have returned to Rong Xiuluo's mind. She slowly opened her eyes. First, she saw a pair of black eyes, filled with concern. That look was so familiar, so familiar, just like the dream.

Was it a dream? The Shura sat up abruptly, pulling the covers over him in horror, and looked down to find his clothes still there. Thinking of the strange and charming scene in her dream, her heart began to beat wildly.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

What's wrong, Aral, you were screaming so miserably just now, did you dream that you were beaten up by Shangguan JIuting? The owner of the black eyes looked at the Shura with complete interest.

The Shura stared blankly at the man in front of him. This was also a good-looking man. He was dressed in a blue shirt, and his body was tall. His face was slightly pale, but his features were distinct and very handsome. His eyes were so clear that the Shura could see himself in a trance.

Aral, if you keep looking at me like this, I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me … he said, grinning, a little triumphantly, a little playfully.

What a narcissist!

Rong Xiuluo's soul immediately returned to his body, he casually grabbed the silk pillow behind him and threw it towards Thirteen Less. Thirteen's body flashed, and he nimbly dodged. His arms drew a beautiful curve, and caught the silk pillow in his hands, hugging it to his chest, he laughed and said: Looks like the Aral Wine has awoken! I already said yesterday that the Sweet 'n' Sour Immortal Wine would taste soft and sweet, but it has overbearing aftereffects. Do you not believe that you would want to fight with Shangguan Ru Ting over wine …"

Speaking of Shangguan JIuting, the Shura only felt a headache. Since young, she had been able to enjoy life with everyone. Only Shangguan JIuting was the nemesis of everyone, and she always wanted to have the upper hand.

She covered herself with the blanket and deeply buried Shangguan Yueting's aggressive look: Qi Shisan, if you still want me to be your friend, don't mention Shangguan JIuting again … Please don't call her at the next party, there's me or her, there's me or her! I really don't know what's wrong with her. She looked like she was injected with chicken blood the moment she saw me …"

Rong Xiuluo, did you not see how smart you are? She's jealous of you! Thirteen Less laughed, Not only her, do you know how many girls have gone crazy from jealousy?

Jealous of me? The Shura pushed away the blanket and revealed a surprised expression, You're still mad with jealousy?

Thirteen Less tapped his finger lightly, and his black hair that was like a waterfall scattered like silk mist. It fluttered about, further contrasting with his shiny black eyes that were like obsidian and his smooth white jade face. He tilted his head and smiled towards the mirror on the makeup table, revealing a satisfied smile, Not only are you jealous to the point of going crazy, if they knew that you were drunk last night while I, Qi Shisan, was building a bed in the spring, and they couldn't even get rid of my clothes, they would probably queue up to kill you …

Before he could finish his words, two faint red finger marks appeared on his forehead with a few bangs. He could not help but jump up.

Rong Xiuluo, I'm warning you, you are not allowed to slap your face again next time … If you break my handsome face, I'll …"

So what? The Flowers blossomed into a flower, shining resplendently in the spring, causing the Thirteen Less to be startled. The next moment, his two fingers were right in front of him, fast as lightning. There was nowhere for him to hide, and two bangs came from his forehead, I told you to speak nonsense!

He really did not know where Shura had learned the Bullhead Technique from. Every hit was accurate. He grit his teeth in pain and no longer dared to joke around. He begged in a low voice, My second young miss Rong, can I beg you? Next time don't slap your face or pat your forehead …

Is Thirteen Less begging me? The Shura frowned intentionally, Why can't I hear it? Zhao Hui, can you hear what the Thirteen Less is saying?

Zhao Hui pursed her lips and laughed, This servant did not hear anything.

Qi Shisan rubbed his forehead, and muttered, My little aunt, if I knew that I would send you straight back to the harem last night, why would I bring you back to the Spring Water Pavilion? I am truly asking for trouble … Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the Shura's eyes slowly glaring at him. He immediately shut his mouth and revealed a brilliant smile. Please calm your anger, Second Miss Rong. This little one does not dare to continue speaking nonsense!

Young master, Miss Yun Shuang has come. I don't know why, but she's very angry. I've been arguing with you ever since I came in. This servant has tried everything, but she still hasn't left. Thirteen Less's maid Qingyan hurriedly walked in. When she saw the fingerprint on Thirteen Less's forehead, she revealed a smile that was not surprised at all.

Oh? And there was still that girl that Qing Yan couldn't get rid of! Yun Shuang, oh … Was it that hero who saved the beauty when you were eating at the White Cloud Restaurant …" The Shura pondered for a moment.

No, that's Miss Mu Rong Qing. Miss Mu Rong's painting is really good. It has a certain charm to it …

I remember now. Was it you who asked the woman in red that you bumped into?

No, that's Miss Liu Ya Rong. Miss Liu is quick on the uptake and specializes in poetry …

Ha, there's no mistake this time, could it be that you're talking about the young miss Yun who spent so much money on Canglang boat? I don't know if the lady who jumped off the boat because of Miss Yun's insults and insults is alive or dead … The Shura lightly clapped his hands, his gaze sweeping across the area. Thirteen Less is really charming, even this kind of supreme flower could fall into his hands …"

Puchi! Qing Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Second Miss Rong always liked to tease Young Master. She didn't know why the usually glib and elegant Young Master would suddenly turn into a sawed gourd the moment he saw her. Could it be that the Yellow Eagle grabbed the Young Sparrow Hawk's foot and — buckled it?

Qingyan, why are you laughing so foolishly all this time? Qing Yan was still giggling in her memories. When she came back to her senses, she bumped into her master's angry eyes. She respectfully replied, Young Master, if you don't go, I'm afraid Miss Shuang Shuang will tear down the villa …

She dares … Thirteen Less glared at Qing Yan, then turned and looked reluctantly at the mirror. The him in the mirror was truly elegant and unrestrained, like a jade tree swaying in the wind. He did not forget to say something before he took a few steps away:

Aral doesn't sleep well at night, you have to eat well in the morning! When I come back to send you back to harem, I heard that your second brother got a new treasure.

You're well-informed. Aral whispered.

The Thirteen Less heard it clearly and laughed:

Aral is underestimating me. No matter what, I am also one of the four sons of the Phoenix Empire. it's not inferior to the Three Pearl.

What a carefree young man!

The Shura couldn't help but smile as he watched him leave.

Miss, Zhao Hui asked curiously as she twisted the Shura's long hair into a nimble bun, While I was outside, I've only heard people say that our harem's three misses are the three pearls of the Phoenix Empire, that they are beautiful and intelligent, but I have never heard of any four sons …

I know, I know! Xiao Luan ran in quickly and filled the vase with fresh flowers. Her head was covered in sweat and her eyes shone with light on her rosy little face.

Xiao Luan, you went out to be lazy again, right? Tell me, what are the Four Sons of the Phoenix?

Four sons, of course they are our Phoenix Empire's youngest, most amorous, most talented young masters. The first is the business agreement between the young master of the protector general's merchant family, they are all handsome and powerful in martial arts, they made great contributions in the army at such a young age, last year he defeated the invading Red Dragon tribe, the teacher returned to the court, it was not easy for me to see the real person on the street, ah, it was really … Xiao Luan started to mutter incoherently. She remembered the day when her dress had been torn to shreds in order to see the agreement. That was her favorite dress!

An agreement is indeed a dragon among men. The Shura smiled and changed the direction of his hair.

Go on, go on, who's the second one? Zhao Hui was enchanted by what she heard.

The second is the second son of the Marquis of Xining, Xiao Li …

Master Xiao Li, last year, I followed the young miss to the Canglang boat. We met before ….

Xiao Li... A slim and slender figure gradually appeared in the Asura's mind. He stood in the wind, and behind him was a vast sea of clouds. At that time, the Yun Family's eldest miss was fighting with others over a gem, attracting a large group of people to watch and bet on them.

The Canglang boat was in an uproar, but he actually took out a jade flute and slowly blew it.

The Plum Mountain Flower has just bloomed. The snow on the Tian Shan Mountains has yet to bloom. The snow is full of flowers and the lace is like the snow coming back.

She replied softly. Xiao Li turned around, his eyes were like cold stars, his brows were like spring mountains.

Little girl, why don't you go and watch the show? he said flatly.

There was a faint scar on his forehead, but that scar only added a hint of mysteriousness to his appearance, not damaging it at all.

What's so interesting to look at? I might as well not look as good as you … By some strange chance, she blurted out, and felt her face heat up.

An extremely faint smile swept across his face, and for a moment the ice thawed and everything came back to life.

The noisy crowd suddenly exclaimed, Oh no! Miss Qin jumped off the boat!

CHAPTER 3 - A BEAUTY LIKE A LEOPARD

Before his voice fell, Xiao Li floated into the air, his clothes fluttering as he jumped into the churning sea of clouds, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

I wonder what happened to him and that angry young miss who jumped off the ship … Zhao Hui was at a loss.

Young Master Xiao is naturally fine. It's just that that Miss Qin was saved by him. From then on, her feelings have been deeply rooted, and she has recognized Young Master Xiao … Xiao Luan said stupidly, If I were that Miss Qin, I'm afraid I would never marry anyone but you.

Xiao Luan, you're in a infatuation again. Last time, you said that you wouldn't marry anyone but the young master of the Chu Family … Zhao Hui hatefully reached out and tapped her head with her index finger, Could it be that the good guys from the Phoenix Empire are about to be married off by you …

Xiao Luan bared her teeth at her orders, No way, among the four of us, as long as I can see Young Master Chu Duan from time to time, I'll be satisfied … If Young Master Chu Duan really likes me when he's lost his head, I … I will not refuse …"

Stop daydreaming, how could Young Master Chu like a girl like you who doesn't know the limits of heaven? Zhao Hui laughed, You better be heard by the third miss, I'm afraid she will tear you apart.

Third Miss! Xiao Luan opened her eyes wide, Why did she tear me apart?

Bang! Xiao Luan's forehead got hit again, and she covered it: Zhao Hui, why did you do that?

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Zhao Hui pursed her lips and laughed, Think about it, Third Young Miss is always uneasy and always running outside, constantly asking about the reason of Young Master Chu Duan?

So the third miss also likes Chu Duan! Xiao Luan realised and accepted it willingly, I am really stupid, how can I not see through it? However, our Third Miss is compatible with Chu Duan. What a perfect match …"

The Shura thought to himself, Chu Duan may be the youngest son of the Chu Clan, but he is an elegant and refined man with exquisite swordsmanship. He is indeed an elegant and refined young master. It was also appropriate for him to be listed as one of the Fourth Sons. Third sister first opened love, love at the first sight of Chu Duan, never forget. It was just that the Jung's of the Eastern Region, the Chu Clan of the Western Territory, the Qi Clan of the Southern Territory, and the Shang Clan of the Northern Territory had never passed their marriage.

Miss, Miss … Xiao Luan called out for a long time, but the Shura acted as if he did not hear anything. He just stared at the mirror.

Xiao Luan followed her gaze and looked at the second young miss in the mirror. She was extremely beautiful, like a pearl that had just appeared. If my family's young miss were to change into men's clothing, she would definitely be more enchanting than some phoenix child.

As she thought of this, her face reddened. With a smile, she gently nudged the Shura. Miss, let's have breakfast.

Twenty-four bridges of moon, beauties curling beaded curtains, small pity, Wu Wa drunk Xi Shi. Two slim and elegant maids served breakfast. They only had four dishes, but they were unusually exquisite and each had a poetic name. Needless to say, this was something Thirteen Less had thought up.

As the Shura ate, he could not help but laugh out loud.

Looks like the dishes today really suit Aral's tastes … Aral eats happily! Thirteen Less's voice came from afar.

Why did you send Miss Yun away so quickly? the Shura asked mockingly.

Of course … Thirteen Less's eyebrows unconsciously jumped. When he thought about that Green Cloud Pearl, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She had to take out her gem to coax her back, whether she was willing or not.

Why are you eating so little? He frowned as he saw that the delicacy on the plate was almost untouched.

I'm laughing because you're the only one who uses a beauty. Every time I take a bite, I realize that this is the neck of a beauty, this is the hand of a beauty, this is the heart of a beauty … I can't eat it anymore!

Thirteen sighed helplessly and said, You actually feel disgusted with such elegant food. What a waste of such a precious thing. He turned to instruct her, Tell the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious dishes.

No need, I don't have any appetite. I haven't been back for the whole night, so I guess second brother is worried too. Let's go back to the harem. "

In the Phoenix Empire, the harem was a sacred place. Although it was not the Imperial Palace, its supreme position was only second to the Imperial Palace. Because, the master of the harem was the Jung's family. The Phoensis was a dynasty that had flourished for a thousand years, the Jung's had contributed greatly. In the past, the ancestor of the Jung's joined hands with the Phoensis and used an incomparably mighty army of leopards to wipe out the entire world. His achievements were impressive, but in the end, he gave up and placed the Phoensis on the supreme throne, willing to protect the border. The descendants of the Jung's and the Jung's were even married, and after thousands of years, they had long been connected by blood, and their lips were touching each other. At this moment, the adjacent eastern barbarians of the Phoenix Empire were ready to move, and the new master of the Jung's, leopard, was leading the army and guarding it.

The harem was built according to the Worryfree Mountain, and a palace wall that stretched for a hundred miles encircled the entire mountain. Within a radius of several hundred kilometers, the majestic palaces were faintly discernable amidst the mountain forest and clouds.

The entire harem was divided into three levels. The first level was at the foot of the mountain, called the Jade harem. The second stage is halfway up the mountain, and is called Profound harem. General Leopard lived here when he returned to court. The third level was at the summit of the mountain. Its name was the welcoming immortal palace, and it was where General Panther trained. General Leopard ordered that no one from harem was allowed to enter.

It wasn't the first time that the Thirteen Less had come to the harem, but it was rare to see General Leopard. Speaking of which, the first time he met General Leopard, he was only a five-year-old child. That year, General Panther had guarded the Eastern Region and defeated the invasion of the eastern barbarians. At that time, the commoners of Fengdu cheered as they watched from a high tower with his brothers. From afar, they saw General Leopard riding over on a black panther in his golden armor. He was like a god, not angry nor angry. Behind him were groups of armored Panthers. Suddenly, they roared in unison, and the weather changed. He burst into tears … Using the words of big brother Qi Wei, he was scared to the point of peeing his pants and calling out for his parents.

Of course, he had repeatedly made his brothers swear not to mention this dark history.

He was such a elegant Thirteen Less, how could he have been as cowardly as a mouse at that moment?

When the carriage stopped in front of the harem's entrance, the Shura jumped down without waiting for the Thirteen Less to support him, his body as graceful as a butterfly.

Aral! a familiar voice called.

Big brother! The Shura turned his head in surprise and saw his big brother Rong Lingjun standing by his side, dressed in green. His hair was not messed up at all, and his eyes were filled with a smile.

Big brother, weren't you in the army? Why are you back? The Shura hugged Rong Lingjun and asked puzzledly, Is father back?

Well, we just got home. Father entered the palace to meet the Phoenix King. Rong Lingjun stroked the Shura's head, then sighed: When I left, Aral had not reached my chest yet, but now, it is on my shoulder. He took another look at her and said, She's even more beautiful now. She looks more like Miaomiao now.

Aral felt embarrassed after receiving the praise, After Big Sis became a nation, she was extremely beautiful, how would I dare to compare with Big Sis?

This is the first time I've seen Aral so humble. How rare … The Thirteen Less suddenly appeared.

This is … Rong Lingjun's eyes suddenly turned profound as he blinked his eyes at Aral.

Brother, you don't remember? This is the Qi Family's Thirteen Less, a follower who often followed you when you were young! "

Ah, Thirteen, Qi Wei's little brother! Rong Lingjun slapped Thirteen Less's shoulder, "You've grown so tall in a flash. Speaking of Qi Wei, I haven't seen him for many years.

My brothers are currently guarding the southern region and peacefully coexist with the Southern Champion. I heard that there is a dispute going on and on, and the two sides often travel together. The citizens are in great good health.

Good, good! Rong Lingjun glanced at the towering Worryfree Mountain and a trace of worry appeared between his brows, Right now, the Phoenix Empire is facing against the four nations of the east, west, south, and north. The west has always been peaceful with the south, but the east and north … Always ready to make a move."

I heard that both the eastern barbarians and Northern Gaze have changed to new emperors?

That's right, the new emperor of the eastern barbarians is a martial arts man. He is now everywhere, and even though the new emperor of the northern lands is young and capable, he has meticulous thoughts and has wanted to annex all the nations and unify the Nine Prefectures. I'm afraid that from now on, the Eastern and Northern territories will be even more on their guard.

Ah, Big Brother Ling Jun, right now, there are Rong Family guarding the east and the Shang family in the north. The eastern barbarians and Bei Wang are nothing to be afraid of! Qi Shisan disapproved.

Rong Lingjun looked at Thirteen Less and smiled without saying a word.

The Shura didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition.

CHAPTER 4 - SNOWBALL

His father had been guarding the Eastern Territory and would not be able to return to the Imperial Court without being summoned. Now was not the time to report on his duties at the end of the year, so why had he returned with his brother? Did something happen?

She secretly looked at Rong Lingjun. Her brother seemed like nothing had happened, chatting happily, but he could not hide the worry on his face?

Whilst muttering to himself, a roar suddenly exploded like a thunderclap. The branches and leaves of the trees around him trembled, and a random black shadow charged towards Thirteen Less like lightning. The wind carried a fishy stench that almost made him faint.

Lightning, don't be rude! The Shura roared. His left hand was as fast as lightning as he pushed Thirteen away. His right hand turned into a fist and struck at the black shadow. The black shadow let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground, shaking the ground with a loud bang.

Thirteen Less was startled. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the black figure was actually a black panther. The Shura's leg flew up, and the black panther whimpered before leaping into the forest by the side of the road. It really was like a black bolt of lightning …

Lightning, come back obediently! A crisp voice entered the ears of the crowd. Although it was far away, the words were very clear. When Black Panther heard the voice, he came out of the forest and ran up the hill like a wisp of smoke. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared amidst the flowers.

It's second brother! She pulled her brother and followed the black panther up the hill, quickly walking towards a huge flower bush. Just as they were about to collide with the flower crown, they saw a flash of light, and the flower crown split apart to reveal a magnificent palace.

The roof of the palace was covered with a green aura and was covered entirely in rattan trees. A strange fragrance assaulted his nostrils. At this moment, the palace doors were wide open, and a youth wearing black soft armor was berating the black panther: Lightning is getting more and more disobedient, do you want to eat more meat today? Hm? I'm asking you, do you still want to eat meat today?"

The black panther let out a whimper and lowered itself onto the ground. It was like a big black cat as it wagged its tail and begged for mercy.

Second brother, father will pass on the ability of the tamed leopard to you. Go back and forth and use this trick. The Shura pouted.

Who said that was something that you didn't see me do … But this is the best move, hahaha! "

The youth turned around. His face was extremely handsome and his eyebrows were quite handsome. He opened his mouth and smiled. His teeth were white and neat. Under the sunlight, he looked indescribably cheerful as he greeted:

Big brother, Thirteen …

Spiritual cultivator, I heard that you obtained a treasure yesterday …

You brat, I can't hide anything from you! Rong Lingxiu punched Thirteen on the shoulder. Yesterday, I got a rare red leopard in cloud forest, but its temper is very fierce. Not yet.

Second Brother, is that the red leopard that I chased for an entire day and night but could not catch? The Shura thought of the red leopard. In the clouds, its body was extremely agile. She and Second Brother pursued closely, but in the end, they were still left without a trace by the red leopard.

That's right, yesterday we heard that it appeared in cloud forest again, so we brought thirty to fifty people to set up separate traps. We used all sorts of methods to get it, but it really exhausted us.

Rong Family's Leopard Army is extremely famous. We have seen tens of thousands of lions, is there really such a strong and difficult to tame leopard? Thirteen Less also felt an itch in his heart when he heard this.

Aral, why don't we take a gamble?

Betting on what?

Let's bet on which of us can tame this lion. How about it? Rong Lingxiu smiled and asked Rong Lingjun, Brother, do you want to bet or not?

Alright, let's talk about the wager first. Rong Lingjun smiled.

Let's bet on that Radiant Light Sword in your possession.

Ha, I knew that you would have taken a fancy to Big Brother's Radiant! The Shura couldn't help but laugh. However, don't underestimate me. It isn't certain who will be the one to use the Radiant Light Sword!

The bet was set. The three of them went to change their clothes. In a moment, the Shura walked out. He saw that she was wearing a golden phoenix helmet and a set of soft armor. There was a slim belt wrapped around her waist. There were several daggers stuck in it. He also took out a golden whip from the wall. That whip seemed to be made of black gold with a curved head and a sharp blade. She was wearing a pair of golden boots with the phoenix as the ornament. Just a moment ago, she was a beautiful and elegant young miss, but now, she was a valiant and imposing female general.

Is that all the panthers bring? Thirteen asked curiously.

The Shura smiled, Have you heard about the story of how the female Emperor of the Central Earth Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian, tamed horses? Once, Tang Taizong received a powerful horse, called Lion Steed, which no one could tame, and he sighed. At that time, when Wu Zetian was at her side, she put forward the request of taming the horse, saying: If I can control it, I will need three things: an iron whip, two iron hammers, and three daggers. If he was unwilling, he would use an iron hammer to hammer his head; if he was unwilling, he would use a dagger to cut his throat. A horse for men to ride, what use would it be if it could not be tamed? I don't need a hammer, I only need a golden whip and a dagger. A leopard is the same as a horse.

Rong Lingjun had also changed into a new set of armor. His expression was indifferent as he said, Mother said that there is no leopard in this world that cannot be tamed. As long as it has a fatal point, it can control the entire situation.

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the immortal welcoming palace on the Worryfree Peak. Thirteen Less was confused that he did not see a single leopard, with only Rong Lingxiu's whistle, he heard the sound of wind blowing, and the cheers of the leopards from the forest were deafening. Following that, a completely white leopard led led a group of gold armored leopards in front, forming a neat line, looking extremely mighty. When the group saw Rong Lingxiu, they all prostrated on the ground. The unique White Leopard went forward and licked his hand.

This is my Leopard Commander, Night Pearl. Rong Lingxiu gently stroked the soft fur on the snow leopard's back with the palm of his hand. It was completely white and flawless with not a single strand of mixed hair on its body. Fortunately, it was lying on the grass right now. The Night Pearl was obviously touched to the point that it felt very comfortable, as it gently rubbed its chin on Rong Lingxiu's leg. The King of Ten Thousand Beasts who was initially roaring in the mountains, was now as meek as a cat.

Suddenly, the angry cry of a leopard came from the forest. It seemed to be very restless. The Shura hurriedly approached. Within the iron cage in the forest, there was a leopard. The leopard's entire body seemed like it was on fire. Its fur was greasy, and it glittered like satin.

Ah, so brave! Thirteen Less was extremely excited when he saw the leopard. When the leopard saw a stranger, it was as if he had seen his enemy, and he became even more manic.

Heh heh, it took me quite a bit of effort to catch them. This is the bravest leopard I've ever seen, I'm afraid even Night Pearl would find it hard to reach half of it. Rong Lingxiu proudly looked at the red leopard, but the red leopard's eyes were wide open, and before he could get close, it roared again.

The Shura slowly approached the red leopard, like a bolt of lightning. A strange feeling welled up in her, but she could not tell where it was.

The closer she got to the iron cage, the stronger the strange feeling became. Rong Lingjun was shocked, and immediately pulled her back, Be careful Aral, it is losing its temper!

The Shura struggled free from his grasp, bringing his face close to the iron cage. The red leopard slowly quieted down, and its red eyes that had been filled with anger revealed a hint of gentleness.

It even wagged its tail at the Shura.

The Shura found it very cordial. red leopard, red leopard, have I met you before? " She slowly reached into the cage.

Rong Lingxiu was dumbstruck. He was about to stop her, but Rong Lingjun stopped him. Rong Lingjun said in a low voice: Don't go over, don't you see that the red leopard has no ill intentions towards the Aral?

The red leopard issued a wuwu sound, its big round eyes started to moisten. It stretched out its tongue to lick the Asura's slender fingers, and started to growl. Then he crawled to the ground to show his submission.

Some thoughts quickly rolled through the Shura's mind, but they were fleeting. In a trance, the Shura blurted out to the red leopard: From now on, I'll call you snowball!

It was obviously a red leopard, why did he call it snowball? The Shura himself did not know.

When the leopard heard this name, it was exceptionally excited. It continuously wagged its tail, wailing like it was speaking in human language.

That red leopard is so strange! Rong Lingxiu was shocked, he could not help but ask softly, Aral, have you seen this before?

Before? The Shura knew what he meant before. I don't know. I don't remember anything about my childhood. The Aral caressed the head of the leopard, his heart filled with doubts.

Seeing that the snowball was being so docile in front of the Shura, Rong Lingjun suggested, Why don't you give this red leopard to the Aral? I'm afraid no one else will be able to subdue it.

Really? The Shura was pleasantly surprised. She had always wanted her father to give her a leopard as a mount. For some reason, her father had always refused.

Would second brother lie to you? Of course it's true. " After Rong Lingxiu finished speaking, he called for the key. The Shura didn't want the snowball to be locked up in a cage, so he ordered his men to remove the cage.

snowball snuggled beside the Shura and lay down quietly. Its watery blue eyes were moist and smooth. From time to time, it would glance at the Shura as if deep in thought.

The Shura stared at his own figure in its eyes, feeling as if the answer he wanted was something he could touch from the underworld. He stretched out his hand, but no one knew the answer.

CHAPTER 5 - DEEP PALACE TRACER

It wasn't until the lanterns were lit that General Rong finally returned to harem.

The Shura did not immediately see him. On the veranda outside of the meeting hall, strange faces were constantly coming in and out. Each and every one of them had a solemn expression on their faces, aggravating the ominous feeling in the Shura's heart.

As the night deepened, the moon hung high in the sky, and the lanterns on the corridors swayed in the wind.

The Shura sat on top of a tall boulder as he looked down at the blue sky. Unknowingly, there was the sound of light footsteps behind her. She was once very familiar with these footsteps. She quickly got up and bowed, Father!

Aral! Rong Changtian helped her up. He was dressed in black robes, and when the moonlight shone on his gold belt, it shined a little. The harem's badge could clearly be seen.

Father, she couldn't hold back the nervousness in her heart as she anxiously asked, Is it big …

Aral, it's too cold here, Rong Changtian interrupted her. Let's go inside the house to talk.

He took his daughter's hand and slowly walked down the mountain.

Father, how are you doing in the Frontier Trial for a year? Do you have an attack from your old wound?

Very good, the medicine you brought is quite effective.

Father, I've gotten a new red leopard. It's just that I chased after it for a few days …

The moonlight was silver, the ancient trees were dense, and the entire harem was silent. Only the father and daughter pair could be heard mumbling.

At the back of the chamber was a small mirror room, all of which were inlaid with bronze mirrors. The Shura followed his father inside, feeling that there were thousands of him in all directions. It was quite a novelty.

It was the first time she had been admitted to her father's chamber, and there was a faint sense of pride in the thought that, in my father's eyes, I was no longer a child.

There was only one small lamp in the room, and it reflected off the walls. It reflected light back and forth, as if there were millions of lights, specks of light, but they were as bright as day.

The Shura looked at his father carefully, and his nose ached. At some point, his father's hair had been dyed with frost. The wrinkles on his usually resolute face were like knife cuts, adding to his majesty.

Aral … General Rong's voice was a bit strange, there was a hint of hoarseness in his fatigue. Something big has happened in the palace.

Elder sister … How is sister? " The Shura's heart leaped as he asked with a trembling voice. She already knew that it wasn't a good thing for her sister to enter the palace three years ago. She cried and caused trouble. She shamelessly hugged her elder sister and refused to leave. In the end, it was impossible for her to disobey the imperial decree. With the command of the Phoenix King, her elder sister entered the palace to be the successor.

Miaomiao has disappeared.

Missing? The Shura almost jumped up. When did this happen?

I received a secret order from the Phoenix King to return to the palace from the Eastern Region. I thought that there was an important military matter to discuss with him, but who would've known that Miaomiao had disappeared after entering the palace? Rong Changtian paused, suppressing the anger in his heart, Your sister has already been missing for three days.

Three days! For a country to disappear after such a huge affair, why is there no news at all? The Shura sensed that there must be something out of the ordinary about this. Could it be that the Phoenix King is doing this on purpose …

Phoenix King … Rong Changtian muttered to himself for a moment, and suppressed his voice to a low level, The Phoenix King said that Crown of the Phoenix are also the ones who disappeared along with us …

Crown of the Phoenix! The Shura couldn't help but exclaim, So there really is a Crown of the Phoenix in this world … She originally thought that the Crown of the Phoenix was just a sacred object from the legends and was just a fabricated story to trick children into playing around.

That's right, Crown of the Phoenix are not only legends. They are treasures that truly exist, and are in the custody of the royal family from generation to generation.

So you're saying that Wings of the Phoenix, Phoenix Feather and Tears of Wutong and the like are all true? With but a thought from an Asura.

Rong Changtian slightly nodded his head, "In the past, when the Phoenix Empire was established in response to the divine order, the phoenix spirit s that were transformed into Five Treasures s were: Crown of the Phoenix, Phoenix Spirit Bead, Wings of
