Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: A Dance of Demons, Perplexed and Baffled (2nd Update)

At dusk, the city on the outskirts began to light up, and the City Lord’s Mansion was even more lively with singing and dancing, presenting a bustling scene.

Due to the arrival of Divine General Chi Yu and others, the City Lord’s Mansion seemed even more lively.

Occasionally, one could hear teasing and laughter emanating from the various rooms, as if it were a dance of demons.

Lady Zui Meng was sitting in the study, reviewing the day’s accounts.

This was her unshakable daily routine.

Just then.

The door to the study was gently pushed open, and a man of ordinary dress, ordinary appearance, and extremely ordinary demeanor walked in.

This man was so unexceptional that, if thrown into a crowd, he would immediately become unnoticeable.

Yet when Lady Zui Meng saw this man enter, she put down her ledger and nodded seriously.

”How is it?”

The man bowed respectfully, ”Reporting to the lady, so far everything is quiet, except that three girls have perished in Divine General Chi Yu’s room!”

Hearing this, Lady Zui Meng frowned slightly and scoffed, ”That Chi Yu is indeed a mad dog raised by Lihen, his actions are absolutely brutal! No need to bother with him; if a girl dies, just replace her with a new one!”

”Yes!” The man bowed his head in response.

At that moment, Zui Meng suddenly remembered something and asked in a deep voice, ”How about General Xiao Tian?”

The man shook his head, ”Nothing unusual has been observed! In fact, since entering his room, General Xiao Tian hasn’t come out even once!”

”Oh? Not even come out once?” Zui Meng closed the ledger, her brow slightly furrowed.

The man nodded, ”Correct, even his dinner was delivered by someone I dispatched. The person delivering the meal said that Divine General Xiao Tian didn’t even look at what was brought in, he just picked it up and ate!”

Lady Zui Meng leaned back in her chair and sneered coldly, ”Everyone says that Divine General Xiao Tian, originally a deity of the Hua Clan, has become like an automaton after defecting to us. It seems that’s no exaggeration after all!”

”Lady, should we continue to surveil him?”

”Have someone keep an eye on him! But what I’m suspicious of is why that old fellow Lihen has suddenly changed his ways, sending out Xiao Tian like this!” Zui Meng said with some hesitation.

The man was also taken aback, ”You mean...”

”Hehe, don’t think that just because I am nominally Lihen’s wife and manage such a large property for him, that this old fox would ever trust anyone. I even doubt that sometimes he doesn’t trust himself!”

”This time he has suddenly sent Chi Yu, his first Divine General, leading a large contingent saying it’s for defense, but I always feel it’s not that simple!”

”Especially because Xiao Tian has been sent out, which is most puzzling to me.”

The man then suddenly said, ”Could it be that Lord Heavenly is guarding against something? To such an extent as to make a big show?”

Zui Meng was also startled, ”Guarding against what... What kind of background could make Lord Lihen so fearful?”

The man also shook his head, ”I don’t know about that! However, I feel that this matter is not ordinary and we must be careful in our dealings!”

Zui Meng nodded, ”Indeed! For the time being, we will have to trouble you more, steward Yu Ren!”

This man was none other than Zui Meng’s top lieutenant and also the chief steward of the City Lord’s Mansion, Yu Ren.

”Lady, you give me too much credit!”

With that, steward Yu Ren took his leave.

Lady Zui Meng leaned heavily back in the chair; the room was dark, and her face was intermittently illuminated by the flickering lights from outside the window, casting her expression in a somewhat puzzled light.

Zui Meng was indeed somewhat bewildered at this moment.

For she was currently pondering over the sentence Yu Ren had just said.

Who exactly was it that could instill such fear in Lord Lihen to the extent of dispatching so many people to stand guard?

While Zui Meng was unable to come to a conclusion,

In a secluded courtyard within the City Lord’s Mansion, Xiao Tian was leisurely sipping wine in the house.

The wine was fine, and so was the food.

But in Xiao Tian’s eyes, anything edible was all the same.

For instance, right now, his posture while eating was almost impeccable.

He would pick up a few bites of food with his chopsticks, then take a sip of wine.

Not only was his posture impeccable, but even the rhythm and frequency of his actions were nearly identical.

If one were to watch for long, they would feel as if it were not a living creature sitting there, but rather a robot composed of precise machinery.

However, as Xiao Tian was self-serving his wine in the house,

A series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard gate.

The knocking was very urgent, clearly indicating that the person behind it was rather anxious.

However, Xiao Tian showed no superfluous expression and merely put down his chopsticks slowly, then almost mechanically turned to leave the room and approached the gate.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, a figure plunged directly into Xiao Tian’s arms.

The scent of a woman accompanied the figure.

It turned out to be the lady that Madame Zui Meng had intended to introduce to Xiao Tian.

However, at this moment, the woman’s whole body was trembling, leaning in Xiao Tian’s embrace, and she said in a trembling voice: ”Save me!”

Yet Xiao Tian, even with a jewel in his arms, didn’t even blink, let alone move his hands that were still in the position of opening the door; he did not make any superfluous gestures.

The woman again spoke in an almost pleading tone: ”My Lord, I beg you to save me! There are people chasing after me!”

At that moment,

A harsh, jeering laugh suddenly echoed from afar, ”Beauty, you can’t escape, you might as well submit to me now!”

With those words, a figure dashed over, and upon standing still, it was the Tian Gou General.

However, as soon as he saw the woman he had been chasing thrown herself into Xiao Tian’s arms, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a thick sense of hatred and venom.

”Well, well! No wonder you ran so quickly, you came here for reinforcements? But do you think, just with this blockhead, you can stop me?” Tian Gou raised his hand to point at Xiao Tian, speaking with brazen arrogance.

After his arrival, he had already enjoyed himself for a while, but when he went out planning to see if there were any new and fun things, he suddenly spotted this woman.

Since they were both of the canine race, Tian Gou was deeply attracted to her at first sight, and then couldn’t wait to rush forward, grabbing the woman and dragging her back to his house.

The woman was originally full of fear, and upon seeing Tian Gou, was utterly terrified.

As a princess of the canine race, she had a unique talent, which was the ability to sniff out the goodness and evil of a person’s heart.

Therefore, after encountering Tian Gou, she was immediately frightened by the dense evil aura emanating from him.

She knew that if she were to follow Tian Gou, her own life would likely come to an end.

In her desperation, she managed to break free from Tian Gou’s grasp and escaped.
