Chapter 477 - The Young Lady at the Back of Pegasus

The reason why Lei Nuo sent people to take him back to the residence was due to his curiosity about Shen Lian. When he got back to the backyard, he heard his wife, Si Jiang was raging. Back in the palace, Si Jiang's temper was already exceptionally bad. Now that she got married to Lei Nuo, due to her elite status, Lei Nuo was always being scolded.

However, she was really a great beauty. It was difficult to find any lady that was prettier than her in the royal family. Her features were delicate, she had a pair of phoenix eyes with royal family's elegance. Her figure was also attractive. Aside from her meanness, there was almost flawless.

As for why Si Jiang got angry was because of the fact that her daughter was missing again. The servants were useless because they could not even take care of a girl who was about 15 to 16 years old.

When Lei Nuo knew what happened, he was secretly laughing at himself. The a.d.u.l.t and child at home were all difficult to be handled. He quickly comforted his wife, or else the moment when she could not contain her anger, killing the servants was only a small matter, what mattered most was that she would damage most of the exquisite decorative items in the room.

By then when the news got spread out, it would be a laughing stock for outsiders.

Filled with grief, the imperial guard led Shen Lian into the residence. He warned Shen Lian not to wander around on his own. He was wondering what hallucinogen drug he had consumed to actually agree with this brat in taking this Black Tiger back home.

When they reached the garden, there was a manmade stream right beside the garden whereby the stream water was filled with spiritual vigor and it was so clear that the you could actually see the bottom of the stream clearly.

The imperial guard hesitated for a very long time, and in the end he decided not to allow Shen Lian to continue bringing the Black Tiger along. He said, "you stay here and don't walk away, I'll be back very soon."

He planned to get a steward to lock the black tiger first then he would proceed to take Shen Lian to the side hall to wait.

Shen Lian nodded his head.

The imperial guard was very furious. If it was not because the Prefect Grand Usher wanted to meet him, he would have already teach this brat a lesson. After all, the taste of bird poop just now was not favourable. He believed that was the brat's doing.

The imperial guard left hurriedly and quickly came back together with a steward.

Shen Lian randomly found a boulder to sit on by the stream whereas the black tiger was happily drinking water from the stream.

Lei's Residence was enormous, it was almost as big as a small fortification. This was still not the inner court, and the stream was also not the broadest stream in Lei Mansion.

Buildings in Da Xia seemed to be extraordinarily huge. It was not densely populated here. In one glance, you could see the grass and trees side by side, the river water was calm and crystal clear.

Shen Lian had been sitting under the Plane tree outside for five days. There used to be phoenix perching on the Plane tree that had lived for almost about five thousand years. It was limited to Da Xia's majesty, thus it did not dare to grow anymore and definitely not transforming.

As for Shen Lian, he had the phoenix aura. Thus, the Plane tree was very close with him.

Shen Lian had communicated a lot with it in these five days. This tree could not move or walk. It also could not grow without restraints. Nonetheless, it had been here for a very long time.

Lei's Residence was built for not more than 20 years. It used to be an abandoned land here. Yu Yang Daoist from Xuan Du Temple wanted to build a Daoist temple here in the past but Emperor Xia did not allow it to happen. Later on, Emperor Xia's biological sister, Si Jiang got married to Lei Nuo who owned Hu and then Emperor Xia granted this place to Si Jiang.

Although the Plane tree was located outside of Lei's Residence, its rhizome extended into Lei's Residence. From its memory, Shen Lian saw a small girl enter Lei's Residence and that small girl was Chen Yun who was Shen Lian's youngest aunt.

However, there was no sight of Chen Yun anymore after the Plane tree's rhizome extended not too far into the residence. It could not remember how Chen Yun looked like anymore after years had passed.

Shen Lian felt that this was a coincidence and a must at the same time. The Prefect Grand Usher was supposed to be responsible for the foreign affairs. Chen Yun came from outside into the Xia City. Perhaps she entered Lei's residence due to coincidence.

Shen Lian hoped that she was still alive.

The biggest inconvenience for Shen Lian after entering Diqiu was because it was hard to see the obscure secret. It was an uphill task for Shen Lian that he wanted to find out the truth about what happened. If he made any significant action, it would alarm the mighty existence in Diqiu.

Although he was not afraid, after all the other party was comprised of many people. He would naturally not want to put himself into troubles.

Fortunately, he got into Lei's Residence. With the aid of linked bloodline, he was aware of it.

As for the Prefect Grand Usher, Lei Nuo, his vigor was definitely extraordinary. Shen Lian could see that his mortal body was very strong and there was a mighty force comparable to that of a reckless beast hidden in his body. However, he had not witnessed the battling techniques in Da Xia's royal families and thus he was unable to particularly judge their combat capabilities.

Of course it would be a piece of cake if Shen Lian were to subdue him. It was because Shen Lian could directly ram him down through his spirit. Even if he had strong Qi of Vigour shielding him, it would not be able to defend him from Shen Lian's spiritual attack. After all, there was a quality difference between the two of them.

The entire Diqiu that could frighten Shen Lian was only three vital forces. All of which was located at the North City. One of the vital forces was very vigorous just like the scorching sun that could show its significant presence. Another one was Yinglong, and the last one was indistinct, it secretly integrated abstruse Dao of the nature, just that it was slightly different from Shen Lian's cultivation method. Its qi dynamic was extraordinary, but Shen Lian was aware that the party's power was definitely not weaker than him.

Fortunately, Shen Lian's power of Primordial Spirit from his previous life already transformed more than half. Hence, even if he encountered any existence that could defeat him, it was not difficult for him to escape from the scene.

After all, it would be difficult to be killed when one reached the state of Tian Xian.

There was a reflection of white shadow which looked like the cloud and mist in the clear water. That was a Pegasus and on top of it seated a young lady who looked as though she was from a dream. Her skin was tight and energetic, her skin colour was as fair as the Pegasus. Her delicate appearance looked like a bud and her hair was falling like the waterfall.

"What a big cat," she sounded like a skylark which produced rhythmic melody that could attract the hearts of people.

The Pegasus gradually landed right in front of the Black Tiger. The girl on the Pegasus was staring at the Black Tiger with her clear and bright eyes which were filled with intelligence and curiosity.

The Black Tiger instinctively curled itself up. There was a majestic dignity in the young lady that terrified him.

Shen Lian was staring at the young lady from top to bottom but she did not even feel embarrassed at all. She asked with curiosity, "are you the new animal trainer? You look even younger than me, just call me your sister."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "if I address the Prefect Grand Usher's daughter as Young Lady and if it's overheard by the others, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this place."

The young lady pouted while saying, "how boring of you. Won't you just pretend to cooperate with me?"

"You're riding a Pegasus, it seems like you want to go out and there's no servant with you. You should be running out without the Prefect Grand Usher and your mother's knowledge. There'd be people coming here soon, so you better be gone quickly," Shen Lian spoke continuously in an unhurried manner like the slow flowing river water but there was an indescribable power within.

The young lady saw the imperial guard from far and she only said one sentence, "young kid, the way you talk is just like how an a.d.u.l.t talks," the Pegasus slightly flapped its wings then what was seen in the void was only traces of smoke which disappeared instantly.

The imperial guard took a servant along and he walked towards him and said, "just now I think I saw the Pegasus in the residence. The one sitting on it looks like...."

Then, he kept quiet.

Shen Lian looked at him while smiling. Then, the servant did not continue to say anything. He thought that he should not put himself in trouble. If the young princess wanted to go out, just let her be. He did not see anything. Later on, he was showing some gestures to the servant beside him.

This was a deaf and dumb servant who did not even have ears and nose.
