After seeing Yang Guang's true appearance, Zhang Lihua's calm autumn eyes could not help but ripple. She said gently,"Twenty years ago, you also barged into my palace like this. Why hasn't your appearance changed at all after twenty years?”
Yang Guang looked at Zhang Lihua on the brocade couch as if he was admiring a peerless painting. As a stunning beauty who had been on the Mysterious Beauty Rankings for two consecutive years, her breath-taking beauty was indeed not something that ordinary words could describe.
Being stared at by Yang Guang, Zhang Lihua couldn't help but frown. She hadn't seen a man for twenty years. When she saw Yang Guang, her mood had quietly changed.
Zhang Lihua didn't like this feeling, so she said coldly,""Twenty years ago, with Heaven Sovereign Yang Jian backing you up, I couldn't do anything to you. Now that Yang Jian is dead, you still dare to stand in front of me like this?”
"Twenty years have passed, and Noble Consort Zhang's elegance is even better than before.”
Yang Guang smiled and ignored Zhang Lihua's frosty face. He said,"As for why Zhen dares to appear in front of Noble Consort Zhang again, isn't Noble Consort Zhang very clear in her heart? Otherwise, why would he still hide in Youhua Palace after the seal was broken?”
"Could it be that you've really mastered that restriction?" Zhang Lihua asked with a frown. But so what if I have mastered it? Twenty years have passed, and most of the restriction that locked my dantian has been broken. I only need to kill you now and there will be no future trouble.”
As soon as the word 'ill' fell, the hall instantly turned cold and a few subtle sounds of air being torn rang out. The next moment, Yang Guang and Cao Zheng Ying were surrounded by six women.
The woman who was standing opposite Yang Guang was about thirty years old and almost as tall as him. She was wearing a fiery cheongsam with a high crotch that reached her waist. Her snow-white legs were faintly discernible.
A little to the left stood a young girl in a purple dress. Her face was covered with a light veil, and her toes were three inches off the ground. She looked like a soft willow, giving people a feeling of endless love.
These two women were Beauty Yin's left and right arms, and they were the ones who terrified the people of the martial world.
Yang Guang didn't need to look to know that the four women behind him should be the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum four shadow demons who cultivated the Phantom Sword Technique. Their movement techniques were unparalleled, and they could kill without a trace.
Facing such threats, Yang Guang still said calmly,""Beauty Yin has many experts under her command, she really lives up to her reputation. However, no matter how fast they move, they can't stop me from activating the restriction. At that time, although it won't be able to harm your life, it can heavily injure your dantian, causing you to lose at least ten years of your cultivation, and you'll never be able to step into the Heaven Tier. If this was possible, Noble Consort Zhang could make a move.”
Zhang Lihua's expression changed several times in a row. In the end, she said coldly,"Leave."
Yang Guang also heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile,""There is no enmity between me and Noble Consort Zhang, so why should we fight each other? Moreover, this time, zhen is here to help noble consort Zhang.”
"Help me?"
"That's right. This month, our palace has lost three batches of palace maids, and all of them were pure Yin girls born on the Yin Moon, Yin Sun, and Yin Time. This kind of girl is almost one in ten thousand. Although there are many palace maids in Zhen Palace, I reckon that most of them have been picked by you. Didn't Noble Consort Zhang want to add more?”
Zhang Lihua's face was filled with joy at first, but then she said coldly and arrogantly,"What are your conditions?"
"The conditions are very simple. You only need to help me deal with those troublesome enemies in Jiang Du.”
Zhang Lihua shook her head and said," Impossible. I've been preparing to break through to the Celestial Realm recently, so I have no time to take action. It's also impossible for me to risk my life for you. You'd better give up on this idea."”
Yang Guang didn't have much hope at first, so he said,""Then bestow the young Si Ming to zhen, as compensation for the palace maids that zhen lost.”
This was Yang Guang's true goal. He was familiar with the original novel. He knew that although Shao Siming was still young, his martial arts aptitude was extremely terrifying. He was at least a grandmaster now. Moreover, her background was even greater than that of Zhangsun Wuji's bodyguard Peacock. She seemed to be the reincarnation of a peerless empress from Tianzhou, and her future achievements would be even greater than that of Beauty Yin.
"Humph!"
Zhang Lihua snorted disdainfully and said coldly,""Those lowly servants of yours also want to exchange for Young Si Ming, aren't they thinking too well?”
"How many is enough?" Yang Guang asked.”
"Ten more…no, twenty more!”
Yang Guang's quick question obviously made Zhang Lihua a little flustered, and her face was unknowingly dyed with a layer of red.
"Alright, twenty then! However, you must first let the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum four shadow demons be my guards. Only then will I have the strength to protect myself.”
The Four Shadow Demons 'position in Zhang Lihua's heart was obviously much lower. She nodded and agreed without much consideration, but she still added,"The Four Shadow Demons all have pure Yin bodies. In the future, when I break through to the Heaven Tier, I will still be of great use. You can't damage their bodies, or else I won't let you go!”
"Don't worry. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first. In the future, Youhua Palace will also be fully open. All the treatment in the palace will be allocated according to the imperial consort's rank.”
After saying that, Yang Guang led Cao Zheng Ying out of the main hall. The Four Shadow Demons of Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum followed behind Yang Guang silently after receiving Zhang Lihua's instructions.
After leaving Youhua Palace, Yang Guang finally let down his guard and turned to look at the Four Shadow Demons. The four women looked to be in their twenties, and their skin was slightly pale. Coupled with their delicate but expressionless faces, they looked like four jade porcelain dolls. However, the green jade longswords hanging at their waists added to their sharpness, as if reminding others that they had unparalleled sword techniques.
Perhaps it was because they were close in age and cultivated the same cultivation technique, but the four women were 80% similar in terms of figure, face, and temperament. It was difficult to distinguish them without careful observation.
Looking at their clear eyes, Yang Guang suddenly thought of Zhang Lihua, who was lying on the brocade couch like a fairy. She was clearly considered a powerhouse of the older generation, but Zhang Lihua still gave him the feeling that she was a naive girl in her twenties.
Compared to Xiao Longnu, who was hidden in the ancient tomb under Elder Jin's pen, Yang Guang vaguely understood that Zhang Lihua had been imprisoned in the palace for 20 years without contact with outsiders. Perhaps not only had her temperament not improved, but she had also become simpler.
