Great Li Martial God

With that thought, the Cloud Immortal lowered her head slightly, her bare feet stepping lightly forward in a graceful gait as she moved slowly into the residence before her.

At the same time, Shen Anran and Cang Yinyue, who hadn’t appeared during the earlier arrival of the White Tiger Divine Hall’s five elders, had heard the commotion outside and now materialized within the courtyard.

The moment the Cloud Immortal entered the courtyard, she found herself face to face with Shen Anran and Cang Yinyue.

Both women fixed their eyes on the Cloud Immortal before them, and the Cloud Immortal in turn studied Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran.

The Cloud Immortal naturally recognized at a glance that this young, beautiful woman before her clearly harbored some hostility toward her, but she remained perfectly composed and asked in her gentle voice, ”Might I ask which of these rooms belongs to His Highness the Eighth Prince?”

At those words, Shen Anran and Cang Yinyue exchanged a glance, both of them furrowing their brows slightly. Even so, Cang Yinyue ultimately raised a hand and pointed toward Li Musheng’s room.

At the sight, the Cloud Immortal offered her thanks and walked directly toward Li Musheng’s room.

She naturally guessed that these two women before her were likely close confidantes of Li Musheng, but she paid them little regard at all.

After all, both were far too young, clearly still inexperienced in matters of the heart, whereas she was vastly experienced, her arts of seduction and enchantment having long since reached mastery.

It could be said that with even the slightest application of her techniques, virtually no man could withstand the temptation of a woman like her.

At the same time, Shen Anran and Cang Yinyue, watching the Cloud Immortal’s graceful, swaying figure recede, quietly transmitted to one another.

”Miss Shen, for some reason I keep feeling this woman harbors some ill intent.”

”There’s an unmistakable air of foxlike charm about her whole body. She probably genuinely has designs on His Highness. I wonder if His Highness can withstand her.”

Shen Anran’s expression grew visibly anxious. A woman’s intuition told her that this woman who had come knocking at their door was no simple figure at all.

Cang Yinyue’s fine brows were also drawn together tightly. She gave the Cloud Immortal’s retreating figure a long, searching look, her expression somewhat downcast, and said, ”His Highness is simply too exceptional. There are surely countless women throughout the martial world who admire him. There’s fundamentally no way to prevent it.”

At those words, Shen Anran’s eyes shifted with unease, and she let out a cold snort, saying, ”Whatever the case, there ought to be some order of precedence in these matters.”

With that, Shen Anran positioned herself outside Li Musheng’s room, showing absolutely no intention of leaving, and said, ”This girl I will be keeping a close watch on personally.”

...

At the same time, once the Cloud Immortal had entered Li Musheng’s room, her eyes immediately went to studying this young demon lord who had just caused such a stir throughout White Emperor City.

Even so, with just a single glance, a flush of rosy color rose instantly across the Cloud Immortal’s fair, jade-white face, and she lowered her head in apparent shyness.

”What a handsome face. Truly matches this old woman’s taste to perfection.”

The Cloud Immortal, her head lowered and her face flushed, sighed inwardly with genuine admiration.

This Eighth Prince of Great Li before her was not only handsome, his looks fitting precisely with her preferences, but more importantly, he was not yet twenty years old, and yet already possessed martial cultivation so terrifyingly formidable that countless experts throughout the martial world, and even she herself, held him in deep wariness.

Had she encountered a heaven-blessed son like this in her younger years, she would have thrown caution to the wind and climbed straight into his bed, whatever the cost.

Of course, for the Cloud Immortal as she stood now, it was not exactly too late either.

With that thought, the Cloud Immortal pressed her red lips together lightly, suppressing the restless anticipation rising within her. Now was the moment for her to deploy every trick she possessed.

”Your Highness... you...”

The Cloud Immortal parted her red lips, then hesitated, leaving her words unfinished.

Her voice, pitched just right, carried a bone-deep softness without any hint of artifice, and it made Li Musheng’s eyebrow lift slightly.

He simply found this young woman before him extraordinarily beautiful. Though her voice carried something of a husky, mature quality, it was pleasant to listen to and left no unpleasant impression whatsoever.

With that thought, Li Musheng gave the Cloud Immortal an appraising look and was just preparing to chat casually with this admirer, perhaps ask about her family.

In the next instant, the Cloud Immortal’s soft, tender voice came again, ”Your Highness... you are the most handsome man this humble woman has ever seen...”

This time the Cloud Immortal’s voice was barely above a whisper, and having spoken, she suddenly buried her head in shy, girlish embarrassment, as though the words had taken every ounce of courage she possessed.

Naturally, these words touched Li Musheng precisely where they needed to. After all, he understood his own appearance perfectly well, and the admiration from the young woman before him was surely coming straight from the heart, without a trace of exaggeration.

That she praised his handsomeness was, of course, simply because he genuinely was handsome. This was a confirmation coming straight from a devoted admirer.

”No need to stand there. Come sit.”

Li Musheng was in good spirits and immediately beckoned the still bowed-headed Cloud Immortal to come sit at the table.

At those words, the Cloud Immortal buried her face against her fair chest, the very picture of a young girl encountering someone she admired for the first time, standing there in apparent uncertainty about what to do.

But inside, the Cloud Immortal was secretly delighted, sensing clearly the shift in Li Musheng’s attitude, and thought to herself, ”This man’s martial and demonic cultivation are both extraordinarily deep, but he’s still young after all. This old woman, having lived through plenty, understands exactly what’s going through his mind. How could he possibly resist this old woman’s charms?”

With that thought, the Cloud Immortal feigned reserved hesitation for a moment, then finally stepped forward on her jade-white bare feet, approaching the table across from Li Musheng, and bowed gracefully before seating herself.

At this point, the Cloud Immortal raised her head slightly, as though wanting to steal a glance at Li Musheng before her, yet appearing hesitant to do so, seeming genuinely flustered.

At the sight, Li Musheng gave the Cloud Immortal an appraising look, then spoke first, ”I heard just now that you’re from Banyun City. How should I address you?”

At those words, the Cloud Immortal reached up to smooth the hair by her ear and said softly, ”Your Highness may call this humble one Yun’er. Yun’er does indeed come from Banyun City. I originally came to White Emperor City accompanying my father to attend the discipleship gathering, but upon hearing by chance that Your Highness had arrived in the city, my heart filled with such joy that I came immediately to pay my respects.”

The Cloud Immortal’s eyelashes fluttered lightly as she lifted her eyes, clear as a young doe’s, to look at Li Musheng, and said quietly, ”Yun’er has intruded rather presumptuously. I hope Your Highness will not hold it against Yun’er.”

In that single glance, the Cloud Immortal studied Li Musheng’s clear, distinct eyes, and the two of them briefly held each other’s gaze in the air between them.

The Cloud Immortal, as though entranced by the man before her, kept her eyes fixed intently on Li Musheng, momentarily forgetting to look away.

At this moment, the light of the setting sun streamed through the window and fell across the Cloud Immortal’s exquisite face, her fine, high-bridged nose and delicately painted brows and eyes catching the glow, the rosy flush on her cheeks harmonizing beautifully with the sunset outside, her entire figure looking like a young girl experiencing the first stirrings of love, breathtakingly beautiful.

Li Musheng studied the Cloud Immortal for a moment, then couldn’t help but voice his admiration, ”What a beautiful young woman... this brings back memories of my own youth, fading like this sunset...”

Even so, just as Li Musheng was becoming sentimental over this thought, he suddenly let out a sigh and shifted his tone, saying, ”What a pity, though, that such a wonderful young woman should have so little time left to live, so young.”
