Chapter 20: The Beast Descends Under the City
The dinner party in the City Lord's Mansion seemed a little solemn, but there were few people, for Ye Chen and the three of them, this was really flattering, the three of them had never experienced this kind of banquet at all, although they were all eating, but it also depended on who was eating with them. And to feast with the lord of this star city, Ye Chen never thought about it.
Ye Xue and Chen Tao have been adjusted for some time, although they are still a little restrained, but they are not unprepared, Ye Chen is the first time to see Sleepless Night, majestic and heroic, with a sense of coercion in calm, which makes Ye Chen also a little restrained. At this time, he saw that Ye Chen's steadiness was silent, his pace did not change, his face was calm, and he walked towards the banquet table in the hall with Ye Xue and Chen Tao.
There have been a few people at the banquet table, sitting in the middle is Hu Lao whom Ye Chen knows, and sitting on the left of Hu Lao is Sleepless Night, although Ye Chen has never seen Sleepless Night, but through Ye Xue's description, Ye Chen can still be sure that the one sitting there is Sleepless!
And sitting next to Sleepless Night was a graceful and luxurious woman, looking at Ye Chen and the others with a smile in her eyes. On the right of Hu Lao is a young and beautiful woman, this woman has green clothes and hair, delicate and moon-looking, and she can't turn her eyes when she sits there casually!
"Old Hu, city lord!" Ye Chen walked to the table, clasped his fists and saluted Hu Lao and Sleepless Night, and by the way, he also hugged his fists to the luxurious woman and the beautiful girl to show respect.
"Haha, Ye Chen, what are you respectful in front of me, haven't you known me for so long. Hu Lao stood up and smiled at Ye Chen.
The sleepless three of them saw Hu Lao stand up, and also stood up, "What did Hu Lao say, my life was saved by Hu Lao, otherwise how could I Ye Chen stand in this place and talk like this, let alone take care of Xiaoxue in the future." Saying that, he bowed to Hu Lao again!
"Okay, don't be polite in front of me, come and sit down. Hu Lao smiled angrily.
"Well, Ye Chen, Xiaoxue, Chen Tao all come and sit, don't be polite, just like in your own home. Ye Wuxian said with a smile, the noble lady also smiled and bowed, but the young and beautiful woman looked at Ye Chen and them with a little curiosity, but she only glanced at them and turned her head.
"Thank you!" Ye Chen nodded, letting Ye Xue sit next to the beautiful woman, and then sat next to Ye Xue himself, and then sat next to Chen Tao.
"This is my wife Lu Rong, this is the little girl Night Fluttershy, you will have more contact in the future, Fluttershy, this girl is too lonely, she doesn't have many friends, can you come here often to play with Fluttershy in the future?"
"That's our honor!" Ye Chen said with a smile. Ye Xue and Chen Tao also echoed, provoking Fluttershy to look sideways, this guy really doesn't treat himself as an outsider, he hasn't agreed yet, but the other party actually agreed.
Of course, Ye Chen didn't know what Night Fluttershy was thinking, otherwise Ye Chen would really look at Night Fluttershy with a depressed and helpless expression. The reason why he promised to stay awake at night was just polite, and Ye Chen didn't take it seriously, a place like the City Lord's Mansion was not something he could come to often.
Let's talk about it, this dinner is quite happy, but the reason why the accident is an accident is that it happens unexpectedly.
Just as the dinner was about to end, a guard walked in, "Report!"
The whole dinner suddenly became silent, except for Hu Lao, everyone looked at Ye Wumian, Ye Wumian's face was a little ugly, a good meal, was disturbed by the guards, although he had thought that the guards could come in at this time to report, it must be a very important thing, but Ye Wumian still glanced at Hu Lao who was drinking alone with some worries, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, seeing that Hu Lao was not angry.
Sleepless at night, he turned to face the guards and said, "What's the matter!"
"Oh no! Oh no! The monster is coming!" said the guard, as if he had remembered something, with a panicked expression.
"What?" Sleepless Night's face changed and he stood up. The rest of the people were also very surprised, only Hu Lao was still calm.
"The demon beasts outside the city are coming, and now they are under the city!" the guard said anxiously.
Sleepless took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anxiety, and looked at his master, the demon beast moved, Hu Lao also told himself before, but he didn't expect that the person sent to inquire about the news had not returned, and the demon beast had already fallen into the city.
"What do you want me to do? You are the city lord! Why do you still need me to teach you?" Hu Lao glared at him angrily and sleeplessly!
Sleepless and laughing, although I want to go, but the master is here, the necessary inquiries are still necessary, especially for a strong man like Hu Lao, it is one thing for you to ask and scold you, and it is another thing for you not to ask.
"Hurry up, the province is in the way here!" Hu Lao waved his hand impatiently.
"Well, okay, Ye Chen, you have a good meal here, if you are not satisfied, tell Lu Rong. Sleepless at night, he explained to Ye Chen, and quickly led the guards out of the City Lord's Mansion.
A good dinner is interrupted, and the rest of the people don't have the heart to eat and chat or anything, so Fluttershy stands up, "Grandpa Hu, Fluttershy wants to check it out too!"
"Fluttershy!" Lu Rong yells at Fluttershy.
"Mother, I'll just go and see, I won't mess around. Night Fluttershy said coquettishly to Lu Rong, making Chen Tao's eyes widen on the side!
"No, it's not good!" Lu Rong refused, her husband was the lord of a city after all, it was his duty and obligation for him to go, he had nothing to say, but his daughter could never go to that dangerous place!
"Grandpa Hu!" said Fluttershy, shaking Elder Hu's arm.
"Don't ask me for help, I can't help you, Fluttershy is too dangerous, you might as well stay in the City Lord's Mansion." Hu Lao smiled bitterly, what is the situation in the city now, although Hu Lao did not go out, he can also guess that chaos and disorder, a beautiful woman like Fluttershy, it is even more dangerous, especially under the threat of this danger.
"Hmph......" Fluttershy snorts and leaves the table and walks into the courtyard.
"This kid. Lu Rong smiled bitterly, smiled slightly apologetically at Ye Chen, and signaled Ye Chen that they didn't have to care.
"Old Hu, madam, we should also take our leave. Ye Chen stood up and hugged his fists at Hu Lao and Lu Rong, as for the matter of thanking Hu Lao, verbal gratitude does not mean anything, there will be many opportunities in the future.
"Just sit down for a while, it's fine. Lu Rong retained.
"No, it's a bit of a problem to go back. Ye Chen said goodbye with a smile.
"Okay, I won't keep you anymore, remember to come and play when you have time. Lu Rong said with a smile.
"Okay. Ye Chen also replied with a smile, and then turned his head to Hu Lao.
Hu Lao put down the wine glass in his hand, stared at Ye Chen carefully for a while, and then said with a smile: "Go ahead, but don't take such risks anymore, otherwise I won't be able to save you!"
