Chapter 408: The Twin Fish Tattoo
“???”
After Ao Yiner said that, Ming looked up.
He realized that the Dragon Empress was indeed staring in his direction without any attempt to hide it.
Dude, even if I were your old lover, you shouldn’t be staring at me like this with so many people around! So many people are looking at you.
Ming didn’t know what to say.
Ming worried he might be misunderstood by others.
Anyway, after the Northern Sea Ceremony, I’ll just head to the North Sea Abyss and grab that Linglong Pearl and run!” Maybe she’s just admiring how handsome you are.” Ming casually said, then took a sip of wine.
“Hmph hpmh hpmh~”
Hearing Ming’s compliment, Ao Yiner straightened her back, lifted her head, and looked extremely pleased.
Ming’s words convinced Ao Yiner.
This girl is naturally beautiful~ Seeing Ao Yiner puffing out her chest and raising her head, Ming smiled. “Ao young lady, sometimes I really envy you.”
“Hmm?” Ao Yiner blinked her eyes, “Envy me? What do you envy about me?”
“I envy how clear you are about yourself and never waste energy on self-doubt.” Ming said.
Ao Yiner: “???”
Ao Yiner tilted her head.
Every word Ming said, Ao Yiner understood, but why couldn’t she understand when these words were put together?
“Xu Ming, are you cursing me?”
Even though Ao Yiner didn’t fully grasp the meaning behind Ming’s words,
she felt like Ming was cursing her.
“No.” Ming shook his head, “Why would I curse you for no reason? But Ao young lady, your personality is really great, keep it up.”
“That’s obvious~” Ao Yiner became proud again, “This girl’s personality is naturally good~”
“Damn! This cursed land creature is flirting with my sister again! Die, talker of sweet nonsense!”
Ao Jin sitting behind Ao Yiner downed a glass of wine heavily, wanting to kick Xu Ming away!
If Xu Ming dares to come to the Eastern Sea later, forget seeing my sister, if I don’t kick you far away, I won’t be named ‘Ao’ anymore!”
“Alright, alright, just bear with it for now. There’s not much time left anyway. They can’t do anything in these few days, and there’s no way I’d let my sister do anything with Xu Ming. My priority right now is my plan.”
Ao Jin took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
For Ao Jin, compared to his sister’s affairs with Xu Ming, most of his thoughts were still on the Dragon Empress.
There was some panic in Ao Jin’s heart. He worried if the Dragon Empress had discovered something about him.
Otherwise, why would the Dragon Empress keep looking this way?”Impossible!” Ao Jin shook his head mentally, steadying his inner turmoil, “She absolutely couldn’t have found out!”
As for Yu Wen Xi and others, or anyone sitting in Xu Ming’s direction, they all sat up straighter, their voices grew louder. Even though they knew the Dragon Empress couldn’t hear their chats, they wanted to display an air of confidence.
After all, the Dragon Empress was looking in their direction! Perhaps because there was nothing else going on, they caught the Dragon Empress’s attention?
Meanwhile, as the palace inside the Dragon Palace was filled with music and dance, outside the palace, Zhou Wanfeng arrived at the courtyard where Xu Ming was staying.
Looking at the bed, the table, and the windowsill in the room, Zhou Wanfeng recalled last night’s events and felt thirsty again.
Zhou Wanfeng also felt a bit regretful.
She had bought quite a few sexy outfits, waiting for Xu Ming to return after the Four Seas Ceremony so they could enjoy themselves.
But now it was too late; there wasn’t enough time, and she had to leave immediately.
“I will miss you, little brother Xu~”
Zhou Wanfeng squeezed her legs together and already missed him before leaving.
It could only be said that Xu Ming not only possessed extraordinary talent, favored by heaven, but as a martial artist, he utilized his talent to its fullest potential.
If someone like him went to a Qinglou, those courtesans would probably offer themselves willingly, losing interest in serving other guests.
After leaving a letter, Zhou Wanfeng departed from the courtyard and headed toward the Imperial Palace exit.
Walking through the streets of Longdu, Zhou Wanfeng made her way to the northern gate of Longdu.
Exiting through the north gate and flying straight ahead, within a month, she would reach her destination.
“Hey, what are you doing? Deliberately taking advantage of me?”
Just as Zhou Wanfeng stepped out of the city gate, a man walked too fast and bumped into her.
“Sorry.” The man apologized, picking up Zhou Wanfeng’s fallen wine gourd and handing it back to her.
“Watch where you’re walking!” Zhou Wanfeng accepted the wine gourd.
Right at this moment, Zhou Wanfeng’s gaze was drawn to the man’s hand.
On the man’s hand, there was a tattoo resembling twin fish.
The man quickly walked off.
Zhou Wanfeng stared at the man’s retreating figure, frowning.
Moreover, Zhou Wanfeng felt her wrist slightly warming up.
Lifting her bracelet, Zhou Wanfeng noticed that her bracelet was glowing unusually.
“This is interesting.”
Zhou Wanfeng secretly followed the man.
Zhou Wanfeng’s bracelet could sense items with high concentrations of spiritual energy.
Ordinarily, Zhou Wanfeng would use this bracelet to seek treasures.
Treasures that could trigger her bracelet’s reaction were definitely not low-grade.
Through this bracelet, Zhou Wanfeng had obtained numerous treasures.
If the man had rare treasures on him, Zhou Wanfeng wouldn’t care much since she wasn’t a bandit and hadn’t reached the point where she would rob upon encountering treasures.
What mattered most was the twin fish tattoo on the man’s hand! Zhou Wanfeng was very familiar with that kind of tattoo.
Whenever such a tattoo appeared, in Zhou Wanfeng’s view, it meant trouble.
Using a spell, Zhou Wanfeng concealed herself and stealthily followed the man to see what he intended to do.
Zhou Wanfeng followed the man all the way.
Finally, the man arrived at a coral mountain on the northern side of Longdu.
This coral mountain was rugged, yet its peak was a flat open area.
At the summit of this mountain, Zhou Wanfeng saw a magic array. Having lived for thousands of years, Zhou Wanfeng had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Profound Gate for quite some time, but her basic knowledge was still intact, let alone her extensive studies on arrays during her youth.
Based on the characteristics of the runes in the array, Zhou Wanfeng could definitively determine that this array belonged to the category of “engraving.”
