"Young Master, no, actually, my young miss..."
Fen Rourou was about to come clean.
Qing Yumei's pretty face flushed crimson, as if on fire. Her full chest rose and fell as her heart pounded wildly, seeming ready to burst from her chest. She hesitated, afraid and nervous, yet faintly harboring a trace of barely perceptible anticipation.
Just then.
Boom!
A deafening explosion suddenly came from outside the city.
Like heavenly thunder shaking the world, the earth trembled and the mountains swayed, causing vast stretches of land beyond the city to quake violently.
Forests of ancient trees swayed back and forth in great swathes, as though waving at someone.
Deep within Black Cloud Mountain, a thousand meters from Black Cloud City, heaven-shaking demonic aura suddenly erupted, piercing the clouds and sun in an instant as it spread through the void.
A brutal, terrifying, razor-sharp presence instantly spread from the depths of Black Cloud Mountain, reaching the outskirts of Black Cloud City in the blink of an eye.
The sudden scene shocked every citizen in the city. Many swiftly put down their work and rushed up the city walls at top speed, gazing into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the city walls were packed black with people. Apart from a dozen or so stern-faced Black Cloud Guards, all the rest were citizens who had come to investigate the disturbance.
Ever since Xiao Chen had taken over Black Cloud City, he had treated its people extremely well, and the Black Cloud Guard was very tolerant toward them. Even though they had rushed directly onto the walls, no one held them accountable.
In the distance, Black Cloud Mountain had been completely shrouded in terrifying crimson demonic aura. Glowing radiance steamed upward, fiery mist coiled about, and the sight was utterly horrifying!
