The next morning, Murong Yunliu, the Lao'er of the Murong Family, came to inform them that the messenger had arrived.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yunji quickly washed up and went to the main hall with her second brother to greet the guests. As a member of the Murong Family, she would not be criticized for attending the welcoming ceremony with her brothers. However, Yuchi Feihong could not easily go over there.
The Murong Family is an old, thousand-year-old aristocratic family in the Northern Wolf Kingdom. Their residence in the Northern Wolf Kingdom is very large, with thousands of servants. Their gardens are much larger than those of the Shen Family in Jiangnan. In fact, although the Shen Family is powerful in Jiangnan, Nanyang is a small city with many families gathered there, so the Shen Family family cannot occupy too much territory. On the other hand, the aristocratic families in the Northern Wasteland have very few branches, but they occupy a lot of land. Each family's interior is like a palace, built in a magnificent and luxurious style, and it covers a huge area.
But the two walked quickly, and in about fifteen minutes they arrived at an elegant and spectacular reception area.
It was a wooden house supported by a huge tree, shaped like a birdcage. It was elegant in form and had an excellent view. The birdcage-shaped wooden house was openwork, and you could overlook the entire garden of the Murong Mansion. It has to be said that in terms of enjoyment alone, the Northern Wasteland family was even more luxurious than the great families of the Central Plains.
That makes sense, though. The Northern Wasteland was still a slave society, which was more brutal, but the upper class also had more resources.
Murong Yunji soon spotted the so-called Radiant Sun Envoy.
It was a woman wearing simple leather armor, similar to the kind of decorations I used to like. It only covered a few vital parts, leaving most of her body exposed. This was how some female scouts on the grasslands dressed for ease of combat.
But I must say, this woman has an absolutely stunning figure!
With her fair skin and perfectly proportioned body, even a woman like Murong Yunji couldn't take her eyes off her!
It was a pure physical attraction that drew her in. The first time she felt this way, unable to look away, was when she encountered the Ghost Child in his Thunder God form in Liuzhou City. Now, she had Dragon Transformation, and her standards were much higher than before, yet she was still irresistibly drawn to this body, especially since it was of the same sex.
His brothers would probably fall in an instant.
Sure enough, when they turned around, the second Lao'er and his gang stared Laoda -eyed, completely lacking any restraint. They were breathing rapidly and their eyes were bloodshot. They looked just like wolves in heat. If they hadn't known that the woman was not to be trifled with, they probably would have already forced themselves on her!
"I apologize for keeping the envoy waiting," Murong Yuntian stepped forward and bowed gently, his manner reminiscent of the literati and scholars of the Central Plains in the past.
The eldest brother had admired the culture of the Central Plains since childhood, and this attitude was nothing unusual in itself, but now it surprised Murong Yunji quite a bit.
Even he himself was captivated, his heart racing. This man, a member of the opposite sex, didn't even breathe heavily, maintaining such a refined and approachable demeanor. This was something that couldn't be achieved by practicing some kind of Infinite Spirit Method for a few months.
It seems that what happened to my older brother is more complicated than I imagined.
"No need for such formalities, Murong Family." The woman's voice was very pleasant, a rare contralto with a touch of masculine strength, yet extremely charming.
She glanced at Shen Lao'er others, smiled slightly but didn't pay them any mind, then looked at Murong Yunji and her eyes lit up slightly.
" The Murong Family truly harbors many hidden talents."
"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I am but a humble commoner who has been struck by your exceptional beauty. I apologize for any rudeness I may have displayed."
"You're too kind," the woman smiled slightly. Her words and actions were not as wild as her attire suggested; on the contrary, she was polite and exuded aristocratic charm. She gave the impression that even the noble ladies of the ancient families in the Central Plains were far inferior to her in terms of details and temperament.
This woman's nobility seemed innate, setting her apart from you from birth.
After the group was seated, the woman took a sip of tea, seemingly quite satisfied with the brew. "Is this the new tea produced in Jiangnan?"
"What does the envoy think?" Murong Yuntian asked with a smile after sitting down opposite him.
"That's interesting. It seems that sometimes having new people isn't a bad thing; they can come up with something new and bring some variety."
Shen Laoda was slightly taken aback, and he and Murong Yunji exchanged a glance, clearly neither of them quite understood what the other was saying.
"Let's get down to business." The other person put down their teacup and smiled at the other person, " Murong Family should have heard about us envoys. You all carry the aura of Infinite Spirit Method. I suppose you've tried it out. What did you think?"
Seeing the other party's bluntness, the group forcibly shifted their gazes from the woman's alluring body to their Laoda, Laoda remained unfazed and said, " The Black Lotus Envoy's techniques are profound and extensive, giving all of us sorcerers a new direction; she has truly given us a second life."
"Is that so?" The other party nodded. "But as far as I know, most families in the Northern Wolf Kingdom follow the path of cultivating both body and spirit, with the Murong Family being particularly outstanding, like this young lady." The woman turned to look at Murong Yunji. "Young lady, you have a good opportunity to obtain the Dragon Transformation Method."
Murong Yunji felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't fathom the depths of this woman's abilities, but the other woman seemed to be able to see right through her!
The Dragon Transformation Method?
The Shen Laoda glanced at Murong Yunji but didn't show any particular expression. The other members of the Shen Family, however, were filled with excitement. When Murong Yunji mentioned the Dragon Transformation Method earlier, they were excited but still had some doubts. After all, they couldn't completely trust Murong Yunji now.
However, if this result were stated by someone from another faction, the effect would be different.
At this moment, they were completely convinced that Jiangnan had mastered the Dragon Transformation Method!
"You have a good eye, envoy!" Murong Yunji said with a smile.
"It's not hard to see," the woman smiled slightly, "That your qi and blood are abundant but unstable, making you prone to slipping up. Of course, this is also related to the fact that you are not a true dragon. The Dragon Palace's use of the Dragon Transformation Method has indeed expanded the dragon race's weaknesses and solved the problem of poor fertility, but this method also has its drawbacks, namely, its limited upper limit and the extreme difficulty of integration."
"Is that so?" Murong Yunji asked, narrowing her eyes.
"The secret techniques of the Dragon Clan have always been prepared for their own clan. They may seem to be open to all dragons, including humans who have become Dragon Transformation, but only those who have practiced them know their true effectiveness. In the countless years of the Dragon Palace, has any Dragon Transformation being ever become a member of the royal family?"
"No, right? Only through breeding, the bloodline is continuously purified, and perhaps the next generation, and the next generation after that, will have a tiny chance. But what does that have to do with you? The so-called Dragon Transformation plan is nothing more than adding combat power and reproductive machines to the dragon race."
"Isn't the envoy exaggerating?" Murong Yunji's eyes darkened. The other party's words were very sarcastic. He clearly knew that she came from Jiangnan. This was not an attempt to recruit her. These words were meant for the Murong Family!
As an outsider, I need my family's support to establish an intelligence network in the north. Of course, I can't rely on sibling affection to get family support, so I can only entice them with benefits. The Dragon Transformation Method in Jiangnan is obviously the best bargaining chip.
The demons in the north have methods for advancement, and so do we in Jiangnan, and they are safer and more effective—that is our bargaining chip.
This point must not be denied by the other side.
"All the major families possess historical documents from that time," Murong Yunji said calmly with a smile. "What kind of power was the Dragon Palace back then, and what kind of power was the Heavenly Python Palace? If it weren't for the unexpected events that followed, the Dragon Palace would have unified the human world long ago. You say that Dragon Palace Palace's cultivation techniques have an upper limit for the human race, but does that mean that the Heavenly Python Palace's cultivation techniques have no upper limit for the human race?"
"When did I say I belonged to the Heavenly Python Palace?"
Murong Yunji's pupils contracted, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.
When we arrived, Chen Qing said that the forces that wanted to take control of the Northern Wasteland were likely using the Heavenly Python Palace as a cover to act in secret, and these three envoys were most likely doing the same.
I didn't expect them to say it so directly!
The woman smiled slightly, waved her hand gently, and a strange scene unfolded.
Almost without warning, Murong Yunji discovered that the entire world before her eyes had turned grayish-white!
I've been quite busy since the National Day holiday, so updates have been rather late each time.
Things should return to normal after this week, and I'll start adding more updates next week, with a more consistent update schedule.
