Chapter 1629: A Special Affection

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

At noon of January 27, when Pandora and Demons-killing Valley arrived above Yinhai, an airboat was also slowly declining in the airport outside Datang City in the heavy wind and snow.

It was hot over the Gobi Desert; by contrast, Datang City was snowing heavily.

Climates varied in different regions. Therefore, people also had different feelings, one like fire, the other like ice.

Standing by the window of her cabin room, Lan Yunxi watched the increasingly clearer city in a slight, vacant pattern. This city was more prosperous than any city in Youzhou Province and was larger than the size of all the cities under the affiliation of Huaiyuan Palace. Additionally, the owner of this city was a young, able prince. At this moment, the magnificent buildings and the crowd which were waiting to greet her on the ground in the heavy wind and snow became meaningless in Lan Yunxi’s eyes. Even though she became the female owner of this city, Lan Yunxi still felt irrelevant with this city.

The wedding engagement between Xuanyuan Wuji and Lan Yunxi was a pure trade. The agent for this trade was Taiyi Fantasy Sect.

Not everyone would speak highly of this trade; even her master privately persuaded her to consider it prudently. All the elders of Huaiyuan Palace opposed it firmly. However, Lan Yunxi still stuck to it or follow the arrangement of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. In this trade, she treated herself as a commodity. In exchange, Huaiyuan Palace would become an imperial relative of Taixia Country.

Xuanyuan Changying didn’t lack women. As for him, beautiful and able women became as meaningless as gold coins in the pockets of rich businessmen; they couldn’t even match his tools or decorations. However, besides her look and ability, Lan Yunxi carried a great bloodline.

Besides the bloodline in cultivation base of Zhang Clan, Lan Yunxi also awakened a heavenly bloodline, which was very rare and could only be awakened by women. After awakening it, she could enable her babies to carry forward the powerful genes of their father and even break through the levels of original ancestral bloodlines to a certain degree.

This ancestral bloodline was called Gold and Jade Good Fortune. Among all the heavenly bloodlines, this one was the strangest and rarest one. As this bloodline didn’t work on herself but on her babies, the number of women who awakened this bloodline was even fewer than that of sage-level knights in Taixia Country.

Lan Yunxi was found to have awakened this bloodline when she had menses at the age of 14. Because her menses was golden for the first time and carried a special fragrance, from then on, it became the top secret of Huaiyuan Palace.

Across Huaiyuan Palace, besides Zhang Taixuan the father of Lan Yunxi, nobody knew this secret, including clan elders.

After Lan Yunxi joined Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Taiyi Fantasy Sect had known her secret.

Lan Yunxin only thought about exchanging her felicity for the future of Huaiyuan Palace; instead of considering that Xuanyuan Wuji would like to gain something else through this marriage.

As for Lan Yunxi, she had experienced the cruelest thing in the world. Therefore, nothing else could bring her greater pain or harm.

It was sacrifice and self-torture to a certain degree. However, in pursuing it, Lan Yunxi felt abnormal pleasure through revenge.

She wanted to see the furious, sad and tearful look of the man. If possible, she even wanted to see him kneeling down and begging for her forgiveness…

However, she couldn’t see none of them now…

When she agreed with this marriage, the black invitation card of Taiyi Fantasy Sect had not been sent to Iron-Dragon Sect. When Iron-Dragon Sect received the black invitation card from Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the marriage between Xuanyuan Wuji and Lan Yunxi had already been fixed. It was also Taiyi Fantasy Sect which declared the date of this marriage officially.

She knew that man was in secluded cultivation in Iron-Dragon Sect these days. She also knew that the man would face a life-or-death duel above Yinhai two days later. As a result, Lan Yunxi became helpless and frustrated. She couldn’t even figure out how the relationship between this man and her sect deteriorated so fast.

That man killed her father!

That man split up the clan that she wanted to safeguard!

Now, that man was going to have a duel with the sage-level knight of the sect which helped her a lot!

It seemed that her vengeance would be realized by her sect soon. Lan Yunxi felt that she should be happy; however, she felt vacant facing this strange city. The cold air even made her suffocate and breathless.

‘Am I wrong? Am I sorry to anyone?’

Lan Yunxi asked herself inside with eyes closed when the airboat landed. However, the answer that she gave to herself let her take in a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, weakness had disappeared in her eyes.

“Miss, we’ve arrived!” Elder Muyu said behind Lan Yunxi.

“I see!” Lan Yunxi didn’t turn around; instead, she just said calmly, “I will come out soon…”

“Fine!”

Apparently, it was just a meeting between Lan Yunxi and Xuanyuan Wuji before their marriage. In fact, it was a negotiation about the trade. As for Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu who came to Datang City together, they were not here as guests; instead, they were more like paying a visit to a foreign land as envoys. For the sake of the dignity of Huaiyuan Palace, Elder Muyu had argued with the butler of the third prince’s mansion in Datang City through remote-sensing communications for over half a month. Elder Muyu didn’t give any concession to this trade.

Although they were arguing about details, it was concerning about their dignity.

Previously, the third prince’s mansion would like to pick Lan Yunxi up by airboat; however, Elder Muyu refused it; instead, Elder Muyu rent one airboat from Golden Roc Bank for Lan Yunxi. With the death of Zhang Taixuan, the provincial governor’s private airboat of Zhang Taixuan was confiscated. Nor was there any relationship between Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect. Therefore, Huaiyuan Palace also gave back the private airboats of elders to Iron-Dragon Sect. As a result, airboat became a luxury for Huaiyuan Palace again. If they wanted, they could only rent it.

Previously, the third prince’s mansion requested Lan Yunxi’s airboat to directly land in the square inside the mansion; however, Elder Muyu persisted in having it land at the airport outside Datang City and entering the third prince’s mansion by car.

Previously, the third prince’s mansion would like to have Lan Yunxi live in the side courtyard of the mansion; however, Elder Muyu said it was not reasonable as he rent the highest-level hotel in Datang City as her residence and only allowed the third prince’s mansion to arrange some maids for her in the hotel.

Elder Muyu gave no concession to any other details, like the entry or departure time.

With strong self-respect, Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu behaved like envoys of a small country paying a visit to a large country.

After checking her look inside the airboat, Lan Yunxi left the cabin door leisurely in noble cloak.

The prince’s mansion dispatched a team of guards, a butler and eight luxury sedans to welcome Lan Yunxi’s team. Actually, such a specification of personnel at the airport was also urged by Elder Muyu.

The butler of the third prince’s mansion was an average-looking old man in gray hair, who looked pretty kind. However, his eyes were heart-piercing. Not until he saw Lan Yunxi walking out of the airboat did the butler come over there and slightly bow towards Lan Yunxi. After that, he straightened up and said calmly, “His Majesty especially told me to welcome Miss here. Please get on the car…”

After seeing Elder Muyu slightly nod aside, Lan Yunxi got on the same vehicle with Elder Muyu.

After that, the fleet left the airport for the third prince’s mansion.

“Miss, I still hold that Xuanyuan Wuji is not only for the ancestral bloodline that you’ve awakened by marrying you. You’d better watch out…” Elder Muyu told Lan Yunxi secretly by battle qi as he watched the scenery of Datang City.

The driver was only a common fighter. Even if he was a knight, he could not hear their communication either.

“Elder Muyu, what else do you think Xuanyuan Wuji could get from Huaiyuan Palace except me?” Lan Yunxi made a self-deprecating smile as she asked Elder Muyu secretly.

Elder Muyu became speechless. After a short while, he heaved a sigh helplessly, saying, “Miss, if you persist it, I don’t know what to say either. Perhaps we have something; however, we don’t know that we have. If…”

“That person is already irrelevant to Huaiyuan Palace. I don’t want to hear his name anymore…” Lan Yunxi changed his face as she interrupted Elder Muyu.

Then, the vehicle recovered its silence.

As the guiding vehicle had the mark and banner of the third prince’s mansion and traffic control was executed, this fleet moved smoothly and fast in the heavy wind and snow. Only after a bit more than one hour, they had already entered the prince’s mansion from the main gate…
