Chapter 12: The Lord of the City

From the first time he saw Linghu Shiyu, Luo Sheng knew that this charming young woman did not deliberately make a sultry appearance, but that she had a part of the blood of the fox clan flowing in her body, which caused her to be charming, which made countless men salivate.

This condition has nothing to do with her parents, it is a sign of the revival of the blood of ancient ancestors in her body, in that distant past, one of the ancestors of Ling Hu Shiyu must have been a fox clan, and then combined with the human race to give birth to offspring, and passed down from generation to generation with humans, and finally completely diluted the blood of the fox clan, becoming no different from humans.

It stands to reason that the bloodline has been diluted to such an extent that it is already negligible.

However, the extremes of things must be reversed, and there are exceptions to everything.

looked at Luo Sheng in surprise, which made Hu Shiyu's heart surprised and happy, because from birth to now, this is the first time that someone has recognized her physique without taking the initiative to say it.

"Young Master Luo...... You...... Can you help me resolve it?" looked at Luo Sheng with a blushing face for a while, and then Ling Hu Shiyu lowered his head and asked with some apprehension.

The effect of attracting bees and butterflies with this physique has plagued her for many years, although because she usually works in Yunshang Building, few people dare to plot against her, but some rumors from the outside world also make her feel unacceptable.

Many people said behind her back that she was a woman who could do her best, and she was the scum of the Linghu family, and some good people fabricated a lot of false peach-colored stories out of thin air and imposed them on her head to increase the truth of the rumors.

The three of them became tigers, and there were more people who spread it like this, and the fake nature became true.

And this directly led to her father, who cherished feathers, the head of the Linghu family, and the current city lord Linghu Tian, strictly forbade her to reveal her identity outside, but she was assigned to Yunshang Building as a maid to receive guests.

"You take me to the city lord first, and then we'll talk about the rest. ”

Luo Sheng did not answer her question, and after saying this, he closed his eyes.

"Good ......"

Linghu Shiyu nodded hurriedly, Luo Sheng didn't directly say no, which made her see hope again, so she obediently closed her mouth and lowered her head, but she still couldn't help but secretly look at the former with her spare eyes.

After a short time, the carriage stopped.

Luo Sheng opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

An imposing palace-like building stood in his sight, its width directly occupied most of the area of this bustling street, and when he looked left and right, everywhere he could see was the courtyard wall of the city lord's mansion.

"Young Master Luo, please come with me. Linghu Shiyu took a deep breath, calmed down her inner emotions, stepped out of the carriage, and said.

Luo Sheng nodded, got up and walked out of the carriage, followed Linghu Shiyu, and entered this imposing mansion together.

After entering the gate, Linghu Shiyu took Luo Sheng and continued to walk towards the interior of the mansion, and the two walked through one house after another, and after being inspected by many guards, they arrived at the depths of the City Lord's Mansion.

The two finally stopped outside a secluded courtyard.

Luo Sheng looked at Linghu Shiyu, only to see that she hesitated for a while, and then reached out and knocked lightly on the courtyard door.

After a while, a faint voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Ling Hu Shiyu pushed open the courtyard door and walked in slowly, while Luo Sheng followed behind and did not speed up.

The courtyard is very large, there are many fragrant precious flowers planted in the surrounding strip-shaped clearing, in the middle is a circular green lake, a man in purple sits in the pavilion in the lake, surrounded by rockeries, the man is holding a bamboo slip in his hand, looking carefully.

After a moment, the man in purple closed the bamboo slip and raised his head to look at the two.

In an instant, a strong sense of oppression descended, although it only lasted for a short moment, it still made Luo Sheng's heart slightly awe-inspiring, this person's strength was definitely a level higher than that of Mo Lao and others.

"This is the city lord. Linghu Shiyu said to Luo Sheng, and then looked at the purple-clothed man in a complicated manner, hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted: "Dad." ”

The man in purple nodded calmly, in response.

Seeing this scene, Luo Sheng couldn't help but be surprised, Ling Hu Shiyu was actually the daughter of the city lord?

Surprised and surprised, Luo Sheng immediately owed to the purple-clothed man, and said, "Junior Luo Sheng, I have seen the city lord. ”

"Luo Sheng?"

Frowning slightly, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't recall such a person, so he asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Luo Sheng said loudly: "I heard Miss Shiyu say, the city lord has been looking for a defensive spirit weapon recently, and the junior just has a silk soft armor in his hand, I wonder if the city lord is interested in taking a look?"

Hearing this, the latter narrowed his eyes and said, "Take it and I'll take a look." ”

Luo Sheng took out the silk soft armor, stepped forward, and handed it to the former.

Looking at the silk soft armor in his hand, the city lord's eyes suddenly showed a ray of joy, and the eyes that looked at Luo Sheng also became much gentler, and he nodded and said: "It is indeed a treasure, I don't know which heaven-level elder of Qingtian Academy is a senior disciple?"

In his guess, being able to take out a treasure of this level at Luo Sheng's age must have an extremely powerful background, and looking at Chiyun City, only the heaven-level elders of Qingtian Academy can reach this level.

"My name is Luo Sheng, I am a junior of the Luo family, and I am not a student of Qingtian Academy. Luo Sheng said.

"Luojia...... It seems to be just a second-rate family. ”

Looking at Luo Sheng with a little surprise, the city lord thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "This silk soft armor is exactly what I am looking for, you will dedicate this kind of treasure to me, what are the requirements or conditions?"

"That's right, I heard that the city lord's collection has an eight-hundred-year-old Xuankong grass, and the younger generation needs this thing very much now. Luo Sheng said bluntly.

Hearing this, the city lord nodded slightly, gently twisted the turquoise ring on his thumb, and the next moment, a palm-sized, snow-like green plant appeared in his hand.

He paid special attention to the change in Luo Sheng's expression, but saw that he still looked unwavering, and he was slightly surprised in his heart, after all, this kind of thing like the Sumeru Ring can be called extremely rare, and anyone who sees it for the first time will probably be extremely surprised.

How did he know that the heaven and earth that Luo Sheng had seen were far from comparable even if they were 100 million of them combined, and how could he be moved by just the Sumeru Ring?

Taking the Xuankong Grass and taking it into his arms, Luo Sheng nodded: "Thank you City Lord." ”

"An eight-hundred-year-old Xuankong Grass is exchanged for a defensive spiritual weapon, and this transaction is not a loss. "The city lord said.

With a smile and a goodbye, Luo Sheng walked out of the pavilion and left the courtyard with Linghu Shiyu.

After walking far away, Luo Sheng looked at the charming woman beside him, and said with some amusement: "I didn't expect Miss Shiyu to be the daughter of the city lord, so why do you deign to go to Yunshang Building to be a maid?"

Linghu Shiyu bit her lip, her proud chest rose and fell, and finally said with some pain: "Because I am the shame of the Linghu family, the shame of being poked in the back!"

Slightly stunned, Luo Sheng was silent for a moment and said, "Let's sit down in a quiet place." ”

Linghu Shiyu snorted and took Luo Sheng to the door of another remote courtyard.

Pushing open the door, an old smell suddenly came to the face, many places in the yard were covered with thick moss, and strings of cobwebs were formed on the beams and door railings of the house.

"This is where I used to live, and no one has come to live in it for a few years, and I usually live in Yunshang Building. ”

After saying this sentence in a low tone, Ling Hu Shiyu suddenly turned around, bent her knees, and knelt down towards Luo Sheng.

The latter had already taken precautions, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop it, looked at her, and said a little speechlessly: "Why do you play this trick casually, it's not a big deal, did I say I won't help you?"

"So...... Childe really has a way?!" Ling Hu Shiyu looked happy.

"Look at your posture, if I say I can't help it, I think you're going to play with me. Shaking his head, Luo Sheng's words revealed a sense of helplessness.

Ling Hu Shiyu looked anxious, and he wanted to kneel again.

Luo Sheng quickly held her legs, glared at her, and said, "If you do this again, I really won't help!"

"Don't!"

Hearing this, Ling Hu Shiyu quickly stood up straight, and her two slender jade hands swayed vigorously in front of her, but she didn't know how lethal it would be for a man to say such a thing with her appearance and temperament.

Even Luo Sheng listened, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and he immediately scolded the goblin in his heart.
