"Oh." He had long guessed that Ao Chen was following her because he had long seen that he was interested in her. However, when she heard that Jian Tiantao was following him, she was very puzzled. Why was he following her? Was it for his great cause of dominating the martial arts world to gather talents, or was it for the Phoenix Demon Whip in her hand? It would be fine if he wanted to recruit talents for his great cause of dominating the martial arts world, but if he wanted to recruit talents for the Demon Phoenix Whip, she would be in danger!
But why didn't Geng Ming follow her? He had thought that Geng Ming would follow her as well, but he could tell that their relationship was not ordinary. The expressions in their eyes could be seen by everyone except themselves.
It was already noon when Tan Zi woke up. She was so hungry that she had to go downstairs to eat. At this time, Ao Chen happened to be eating lunch downstairs. Tan Zi came down from the second floor. Because her appearance was too eye-catching, she had become the focus of the entire inn before she even came down. Ao Chen was also among the crowd. Looking at Tan Zi's charming appearance as she went downstairs, Ao Chen's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that he had made the right choice to come to this inn.
Tan Zi walked downstairs and saw Ao Chen looking at her with ill intentions. She rolled her eyes helplessly. She was really unlucky. If she had known this would happen, she would have slept upstairs. What could she do if she was hungry? At least she didn't have to see this pervert!
However, it was too late to regret now. There was no such thing as medicine for regret in this world.
Tan Zi walked to the table furthest away from Ao Chen and sat down. A waiter immediately came up to her." Miss, what do you want to eat?"”
"A pound of beef and a bowl of noodles."
"Alright, Miss, please wait a moment. The noodles will be served soon.”
Then the waiter ran away. Although Tan Zi's table was far away from Ao Chen's, he still heard Tan Zi's words with his martial arts and internal energy.
When he heard Tan Zi say that she wanted a pound of beef, Ao Chen was shocked. He thought to himself, Doesn't the snake clan worship vegetarian food and not touch fishy meat? Since she was a Naga, why would she eat meat?
Puzzled, she stood up and walked towards Tan Zi. She stood by Tan Zi's table and asked," Miss, can you let me sit here?"”
"You can't." Tan Zi didn't even look at Ao Chen and directly refused. She might as well sit with a dog if she sat with him. Besides, there were so many tables. Why did he have to sit with her?
"Haha…" After being rejected by Tan Zi, Ao Chen sat down awkwardly and said," At home, you rely on your parents and friends outside. Although Miss Tan Zi has the Wind Demon Whip, she is not human. She needs friends."”
Seeing Ao Chen's thick-skinned appearance, Tan Zi frowned slightly and replied rudely," Friends are necessary, but it also depends on the person.”
"Does Lady Tan Zi have any objections to this one? Did I offend Miss Tan Zi? Why is Miss Tan Zi always so fierce to me?”
Hearing Ao Chen's question, Tan Zi also felt a little embarrassed. Her face was slightly red as she said," If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been hunted down in the Proud Heaven."”
"Miss Tan Zi, that's not being hunted down. The emperor likes you very much. If you enter the palace, he will definitely treat you well.”
"You mean you want me to marry him?”Tan Zi's voice was clearly filled with anger.
"Ahem…" Ao Chen was choked by Tan Zi's straightforward words. He coughed twice and said," Which woman is like you? You don't have a sense of propriety when you speak."”
"Tsk." Tan Zi snorted disdainfully. She was willing to do this, so what?
"Didn't you say you were going to marry him? Didn't you say it at the tailor shop?”
Hearing the hidden meaning in Ao Chen's words, Tan Zi's eyes turned. She thought about what the emperor of Ao Tian Kingdom had said in the tailor shop, and then said with some uncertainty," Marry you."”
"Ahem…" At this time, Ao Chen's face was already a little red.”
"Stop dreaming. How can I marry you?”
Tan Zi's words pulled Ao Chen's mood from heaven to hell. He said angrily," Why not?"”
The Fourth Prince of the Proud Kingdom could have any woman he wanted, but the woman in front of him did not fall for his tricks. It was really infuriating.
"You're not my type."
"Then who is your type? Geng Ming?"
Geng Ming. When she heard Ao Chen mention Geng Chi Ming, Geng Chi Ming's face immediately appeared in Tan Zi's mind. He was so cold that Tan Zi did not like him. However, for some reason, her heart would beat wildly every time she saw Geng Chi Ming. When she first saw him, she also had the feeling that she had known him for a thousand years. That feeling could not be extinguished.
Seeing that Geng Ming and Tan Zi's eyes were filled with love and entanglement, Ao Chen's senses were stimulated. He suppressed the anger and jealousy in his heart and said with narrowed eyes," Yes, Geng Ming is indeed not bad. His looks are comparable to mine, and his martial arts are not inferior to mine. He is a good candidate for a husband, but…"”
"But what?" Hearing Ao Chen say that it was only Tan Zi's heart that was on tenterhooks…
"But where is he now? Where was his home? Are you married? Do you know about this?"
Hearing Ao Chen say this, the trace of emotion in Tan Zi's eyes was extinguished. She had never thought about this. Perhaps he already had a wife at home. Moreover, she was a snake. Would he like a snake? The love between a human and a snake was not allowed by the heavens. They could never be together.
Seeing that Tan Zi's eyes no longer had the lingering emotions from before, Ao Chen was secretly excited. He forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and said," I'll help you.”
"Uh, what?" Tan Zi didn't know what to do when she heard Ao Chen's words. He helped her? Help her with what?
"I'll help you find him and ask if he has a wife at home.”
"No need." How could she let him ask! Besides, even if he asked, so what? They couldn't be together. Could a human and a snake be together? Perhaps the moment he heard that she was a snake, he would avoid her like a snake.
Looking at the sorrow in Tan Zi's eyes, Ao Chen cursed him in his heart. Was he too despicable? He didn't expect that he, the Fourth Prince, would have such a time to snatch a woman!
At this moment, the beef and noodles that Tan Zi wanted were served. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, ignoring Ao Chen, who was opposite her. Seeing this, Ao Chen asked the waiter to bring his food to the table and began to eat. As he ate, he observed Tan Zi's mood and eating manner.
It was indeed impossible to tell the difference between a human and a serpent-man just by looking at the way she ate. It was just that her way of eating was too indecent! Could it be that all Nagas ate like this? It didn't have the elegance of a human at all. Instead, it had a few more forthright auras.
Tan Zi, who was eating incense, felt a gaze staring at her. The source of the gaze was on the second floor. Beside her room, she looked up at Ao Chen in confusion. At this time, Ao Chen also felt the danger of the gaze. The two looked at each other and looked up at the second floor at the same time. When they saw the figure on the second floor, they were secretly shocked. Why was he here?
Seeing that Tan Zi and Ao Chen had both seen him, Jian Tiantao, who was standing on the second floor, laughed loudly and said," Miss Tan Zi, Fourth Prince, how have you been?”
The voice was so powerful that it swept through the entire inn, causing everyone downstairs to look up at the second floor.
Ao Chen glanced at Tan Zi, then turned to look at Jian Tiantao and said," Didn't the manor lord return to the manor? Why would he appear here?"
"Hahaha." Jian Tiantao burst into laughter. Then, he jumped down from upstairs like an eagle spreading its wings. He flew to Tan Zi and Ao Chen's side and said," Then why did the Fourth Prince appear again?"”
Ao Chen looked at Jian Tiantao for a few seconds, then changed his tone and said," Since we've met, then it's fate. Let's have a drink together!"”He turned to the waiter and said," Bring two jars of wine.”
"Oh, here it comes."
Glancing at Tan Zi and then at Ao Chen, Jian Tiantao smiled and sat down. He said in a clear voice," Drinking with the Fourth Prince is my honor.”
At this moment, the waiter came over with two jars of wine. He placed the wine on the table and said," Guest, your wine."”As he spoke, he placed three more wine bowls in front of Tan Zi and the others.
Ao Chen stood up, lifted the wine lid, and poured a cup for Jian Tiantao and the wine bowl in front of him. He then sat down and said," I never thought that there would be a day where I would drink with the manor lord. Manor Lord, you are busy every day and have managed the Cloudsword Manor in an orderly manner. You have made the heroes of the world admire you. Let me toast you.”
"Hahaha." Hearing Ao Chen praise him like this, Jian Tiantao was very excited. He picked up his wine glass and drank. He gladly accepted Ao Chen's praise, and then looked at Tan Zi thoughtfully," The Fourth Prince really knows how to take pity on women!”
Hearing Jian Tiantao say this, Ao Chenmei's eyes were filled with excitement and joy, while Tan Zi was unhappy. A dog's mouth really couldn't spit out ivory.
In the Imperial City of the Proud Heaven Kingdom, Geng Chi Ming, who had been traveling for three days and three nights, finally arrived at the Cloud Sea Inn on the third day before nightfall. He handed the horse rope to the child who was waiting for him and ran straight into the inn.
He quickly walked to a room on the second floor and pushed open the tightly shut door. After the door was pushed open, it trembled a few times, giving off a destructive aura.
Yuan Yi, who was writing a letter to Lingshe Island in his room, was so frightened by the sound of the door opening that his hands trembled. He looked up and saw Geng Chiming. He hurriedly put down the brush in his hand and kowtowed." Greetings, Second Snake."”
"Get up! Where's Sheji? Didn't you say that you have news of her?"
" Second Snake, I received news that Third Snake Concubine was in the palace of Proud Heaven. I was afraid that Second Snake would be worried, so I immediately sent a letter to Second Snake. Then, I entered the palace three times and failed to find Third Snake Concubine. I thought that the news was inaccurate, so I was writing a letter to Second Snake. Before I finished writing, Second Snake came.”
"You." Hearing Yuan Yi's words, Geng Chi Ming was extremely furious. He had left Tan Zi alone in the abyss of suffering. He had come to the Proud Heaven to find Sheji and bring her back to the High Snake Island. Then, his mission would be completed and he could be alone with Tan Zi. But now, he actually said that Sheji's information was unreliable. How could he not be angry?
Resisting the urge to kill the culprit in front of him, Geng Chi Ming turned around and left. His speed was much faster than when he came. Yuan Yi saw Geng Chi Ming disappear from the inn in a flash.
