Chapter 265: Refining Me
iple, it's not that serious. You're bound to be very good at my dragon-destroying martial arts."Shen Xiang was thinking. He consulted Su Mei Yao and Bai Yoyo inside the ring, seeking their opinions."B...The 265th Chapter: Refining Me
Upon arriving at the city gate, Shen Xiang was struck by sight of the massive single sword and single saber standing on both sides. They were enormous, towering over the walls of the city and made out of iron.
After entering the city, Shen Xiang saw a bustling scene within. The majority of shops were selling weapons and armor, and he could hear the sound of hammers echoing through the streets as many blacksmiths were crafting weapons. Every shop had a furnace for forging tools, causing the entire city to be enveloped in warmth.
The residents of this place were rugged and tall, displaying great vitality. Many of them were friendly but there were also numerous people from other regions coming here to buy weapons suitable for their needs or sell them elsewhere.
To the east of the city stood the Divine Armory Palace, enclosed by red high walls. Like Tai Wu Gate, there were numerous large courtyards inside, which was originally the Divine Armory. It served as the main institution of Heavenly Armory, not only for disciples but also for officials handling various matters related to the divine armory.
Shen Xiang arrived at the entrance of the Divine Armory Palace and used a token that Lady Liu Mengrui had given him.
"I wish to see the Empress," Shen Xiang said calmly. He had changed his appearance; wearing a straw hat on his head, with big beard glued onto his face and an eyepatch covering one eye. It was hard to recognize him.
The guards at the gate saw the token, quickly standing alert and arranged to bring Shen Xiang inside. As they knew that few people could have such tokens, and if necessary, this token could summon the heavenly armory's army. Those who possess such tokens were either very close friends with Lady Liu Mengrui or trusted by her.
The guards knew that Xue Xiaoxian had one.
If Shen Xiang was familiar with the Divine Armory Palace, he could move freely within it by using the token. However, he was unaware of its significance.
Shen Xiang followed the guards through courtyard after courtyard, arriving at a very remote area.
"The Empress' residence is just in front. I won't bring you any further. We dare not get close," said the guard, quickly leaving.
In front was a large courtyard. Shen Xiang could see a small mountain within and smell the fragrance of flowers that wafted out, indeed suggesting it was a lady's residence.
The courtyard was deserted and very quiet, with occasional bird calls echoing from within.
Shen Xiang walked over. Initially, he had planned to climb the wall and surprise Lady Liu Mengrui but was unexpectedly pushed back by a powerful array.
"Who" came out Lady Liu Mengrui's noble and cold voice.
"It's me!" Shen Xiang responded quietly.
The door automatically opened, and Shen Xiang laughed cheekily as he quickly walked in. As soon as his foot touched the threshold, the door automatically closed again, leaving him speechless and amazed. This Lady Liu Mengrui was indeed quite lazy.
Inside, Shen Xiang saw a stunning beauty wearing a white dress sitting calmly on soft grass. Her eyebrows were knitted as she stared at a paper with intricate patterns, her eyes shining brightly.
The air was filled with the fragrance of exquisite flowers as well as the intoxicating scent of a woman, all combined together with Lady Liu Mengrui's graceful and elegant demeanor. Shen Xiang felt a strange flutter in his heart, recalling the various intimate moments he had with Lady Liu Mengrui. His core suddenly felt warm and lively.
"Humph!" Despite not looking at Shen Xiang, Lady Liu Mengrui could feel his unusual body temperature and gave a soft sniff. She was already used to Shen Xiang's antics.
Lady Liu Mengrui stood up, walking towards Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang was dazed by the sweet breeze and quickly recovered, smiling mischievously, "Big Sister Mengrui, I came to visit you! By the way, where's Xue Xiaoxian Isn't she with you"
"I sent her to the Ice Gale Valley. She shares the same constitution as Yu Lan, going there could benefit her." Lady Liu Mengrui glared at Shen Xiang. "Get straight to the point, what's your matter"
Looking at this beautiful face that seemed to be carved out of jade, Shen Xiang chuckled. "Big Sister Mengrui, I genuinely came to visit you and Xiaoxian. Then by the way, I sought your assistance."
"Humph." Lady Liu Mengrui usually maintained a cold and proud demeanor, but faced with Shen Xiang, she was helpless, revealing her true personality.
Shen Xiang scratched his head and smiled foolishly, "Big Sister Mengrui, don't you even invite me to sit down Isn't there tea or something"
"Kiss me and it's free!" Lady Liu Mengrui refused, "You came looking for something. Why should I serve you"
Seeing her beautiful face, Shen Xiang laughed without embarrassment. "Cough cough, Big Sister Mengrui, I have 20 foundation pills. Do you need them for Heavenly Armory If you want, I can sell them to you."
Lady Liu Mengrui was startled and quickly replied, "Yes, how much do you want"
Shen Xiang laughed mischievously, "Kiss me and I'll give them to you."
Lady Liu Mengrui blushed, "Stop playing around. Tell me the price."
Suddenly, Shen Xiang's smile faded and he said seriously, "I don't want money. I just need Big Sister Mengrui to help me with a big favor."
Lady Liu Mengrui frowned, "What is it Tell me."
Shen Xiang asked, "Big Sister Mengrui, do you have a refinement furnace"
Lady Liu Mengrui nodded. "Yes, I often use it for large-scale refinement of materials when making weapons. You want me to help you refine something It's just a small matter for me."
Shen Xiang shook his head, "No refining, I need you to refine me."
"What" Lady Liu Mengrui was skeptical. Refine him Wasn't that self-destructive behavior knew that the Deva Descension Academy moved among various worlds, occasionally recruiting students, like Qian Liguang, who had entered the Spirit Martial Realm through the academy’s assessment. "T...
