Seeing the city lord address Hu Yang as Emperor Venerable and show him such respect, Nangong Hongyao was too shocked to speak.
This man had suddenly entered her heart, and now he was even more shrouded in mystery. Her curiosity only grew stronger.
Seeing Nangong Hongyao like this, Hu Yang moved his fingers. Nangong Hongyao came back to her senses and shot Hu Yang another glare.
Hu Yang smiled, then looked toward the bowing city lord, Shi Hao.
"Rise!"
"What do you seek from This Seat?"
Shi Hao rose and told him everything concerning the Lingyou Great Forest and the Two-Headed Flood Dragon, then fell to his knees with a thud.
"I beg Emperor Venerable to save the people from disaster."
Nangong Qingtian at the side also moved to kneel, but Hu Yang raised a hand to stop him.
"Rise! There is no need to worry about this. The Two-Headed Flood Dragon has no intention of attacking the city. As long as you do not enter Lingyou, there is little danger." Hu Yang shook his head with a smile.
Hearing this, Shi Hao and Nangong Qingtian frowned.
"Emperor Venerable, you may not know this! The Two-Headed Flood Dragon bears deep resentment toward the Phoenix Feather Empire. I fear that..." Shi Hao said with a bow and clasped hands.
"It is nothing. This Seat already knows. There is no need to worry about it," Hu Yang said again.
Just as Shi Hao was about to say more, Hu Yang directly took Nangong Hongyao's hand and vanished from the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing this, Shi Hao and Nangong Qingtian exchanged wry smiles.
"Could it be that niece Hongyao and Emperor Venerable..." Thinking of how intimate Nangong Hongyao and Hu Yang had been, Shi Hao asked.
Nangong Qingtian stroked his beard and nodded.
