Seduce The Villainess (GL)

(Northern Region- Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle)

(White Lotus City)

Xu Lu frowned slightly as she approached the massive stone walls surrounding the city.

There was only one entrance that led inside the fortress, and it was heavily guarded by multiple soldiers.

The soldiers wore simple leather armour and were equipped with steel swords or long wooden bows.

The road leading to the iron gate was little more than a dirt track however there was enough space for two wagons to pass side by side.

The scent of roasted meat filled the air and Xu Lu assumed that it was coming from the tightly covered wagon next to her.

"Let us go inside," Lin Kun warmly spoke as he stepped past Xu Lu and headed towards the guards.

He ignored the long line of people waiting to enter the city and bypassed them without a second glance.

Cao Ji, Shen Guo and Fu Qiu quickly walked behind him since they did not want to hang around the saintess by themselves.

Xu Lu scoffed lightly and then followed the group. The people in the line did not look happy but no one dared to say a word of complaint.

This wasn't surprising.

There were no laws or punishment for crimes committed by cultivators and the reason was quite simple.

It was impossible for the local police or security forces to throw in jail someone capable of tearing apart a crowd of people with their bare hands.

Or who could just escape with a movement technique.

Of course, there was a limit.

A few mortals killed wasn't an issue but if a cultivator decided to destroy the entire population of cities or countries then the 'righteous' sects would send out warriors to punish them.

Xu Lu slowly walked up to the iron gate and saw Lin Kun hand over a letter to the solider in charge of the group.

She also saw the faint gleam of copper coins being passed along with the letter.

"Yes. The Lord is expecting you… please come this way," the soldier spoke respectfully as Xu Lu approached.

He maintained a warm and polite attitude towards them and this attitude was mimicked by the other soldiers in his squad.

The soldier turned to his companions and muttered a few words before gesturing towards the cultivators for them to enter inside the city.

Xu Lu nodded her head and then walked through the large iron gate. She was immediately taken aback by what she saw on the other side.

This city… was like a massive trading square.

Large central plazas and a network of maze-like roads connected a variety of shops, stores, and small tents where hundreds if not thousands of vendors sold their wares.

Xu Lu was grateful for the silver mask covering her face otherwise everyone would be able to see her surprised expression.

There were a few cultivators flying through the air but the majority of people living in the city were mortals.

But… not all were humans.

Elsewhere a dark skinned woman with purple eyes swayed her hips and danced to a tune that no one else could hear.

Demon-like creatures with humanoid appearance strode through the marketplace and made casual conversation with the locals.

"Nasty mixed bloods," Fu Qiu muttered darkly as he waved his white fan over his face.

Shen Guo nodded in agreement, but Xu Lu noticed that he appeared to be distracted by something.

"Yes… let's go to the city lord's home as soon as possible," Lin Kun suggested calmly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small talisman.

He then placed the talisman on the ground and it began to glow slightly.

A brilliant white light erupted from the talisman which caused the nearby civilians to cover their eyes.

When the light faded, a magnificent golden carriage appeared with enough room to carry seven people.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Lin Kun opened the doors and helped Cao Ji enter inside like a proper gentleman. He held out his hand for Xu Lu to take but the saintess brushed past him.

She didn't miss the irritated expression that flashed across his face.

Fu Qiu and Shen Guo followed closely behind and finally Lin Kun joined them inside the carriage.

He snapped his fingers, and the carriage began to move forward even though nothing was pulling it along.

Xu Lu looked outside of the window and saw the crowd of people automatically parting out of the way of the carriage.

She wasn't sure how long it would take to reach the city lord's mansion so she closed her eyes and tried to get some rest.

Even though the carriage was travelling along bumpy roads, the interior did not tremble a single time.

Xu Lu made a note to herself to learn more about these strange devices that were powered by spiritual energy.

At the very least it would be convenient to have a vehicle to carry her from place to place.

The carriage travelled for around twenty minutes before it finally stopped. Lin Kun waved his hands and the doors automatically opened.

Xu Lu was the closest one to the doors, so she stepped down from the carriage and gracefully landed on her feet.

"Welcome! Welcome! It is an honour to have the saintess here!" a loud jovial voice suddenly spoke.

Xu Lu turned in the direction of the sound and saw a large five story mansion composed of white marble.

Standing in front of the mansion was a middle aged man with a balding head who wore a luxurious golden robe.

He was surrounded by servants, slaves and a pair of trembling maids who looked down at the ground and did not raise their heads.

It was safe to assume that this man was probably the city lord.

"Lord Peng," Lin Kun exited the carriage and smiled gently. He approached the man and grabbed his hand for a firm handshake.

"I am pleased that you responded so quickly to my message. The saintess is one of the most important members of our sect."

"Of course! Of course!" Lord Peng nodded his head frantically and then raised his right hand in the air.

Two very handsome male servants with lean, muscular bodies stepped forward and the city lord patted them on their shoulders.

"I am more than happy to have you all stay at my estate for the duration of your time in this city," Lord Peng grinned wickedly as he spoke.

"Please… consider these two as a gift for the saintess."

The men walked towards Xu Lu and then knelt down respectfully.

Xu Lu's expression was hidden behind the mask covering her face so the city lord could not tell if she liked his present or not.

He would receive the answer to that question immediately.

"I have no use for slaves," the saintess coldly spoke and a heavy pressure descended on the city lord and his servants.

The ground cracked beneath her feet and a deep primordial fear gripped the city lord whose facial expression morphed into one of terror.

"Yes… um… GET THE HELL OUT OF HER SIGHT!" Lord Peng roared angrily at the two male slaves.

The slaves got up from the ground and immediately fled into the mansion. Xu Lu kept the pressure for one more minute and then withdrew her aura.

Lord Peng reached into his pocket for a white handkerchief and then proceeded to wipe beads of sweat from his brow.

He didn't understand why the saintess of the Holy Sword Sect had reacted so badly to his generous gift.

She was not the only saint or saintess to visit this city and most had responded positively to being gifted some 'companions' to warm their beds at night.

Cultivators may be immortals, but they still possessed human desires.

Still Lord Peng was a man who knew how to read the atmosphere and quickly thought about what to say next.

"I do apologise for the poor gifts," Lord Peng bowed respectfully with his tone humble like that of a servant.

It was a far cry from the man who had just shouted at the two slaves to leave in a commanding tone.
