Chapter 120 Slapping the Face of the Vicious Hostage (Part 12)
Everyone looked at Leng Yuexing, waiting for his answer.
Leng Yuexing hadn't expected to encounter such a thing. He chuckled and gave a graceful bow to everyone.
“I come from a distant land, and I am not a god.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept by, lifting the white silk cloak that Leng Yuexing was wearing, making him appear as if he were about to fly away on the wind.
The crowd looked at each other, disbelief written in everyone's eyes.
They thought that the deity must have said this to avoid revealing himself, otherwise why would a human body shimmer under the sunlight?
Since the gods don't want them to know his identity, then they should just pretend they don't know.
When Erian saw that everyone was kneeling before Leng Yuexing, his expression suddenly turned cold.
Even if he liked Leng Yuexing very much, he didn't want to embarrass himself because of her.
So he said again in a deep voice, "Get up, all of you."
After Erian finished speaking, everyone stood up.
Ao Ning watched all this, a calculating glint in his eyes.
He knew that what Ellian valued most was power and face. Now that Leng Yuexing had made him lose face, he would no longer fawn over Leng Yuexing as before.
He thought so, and Erian was indeed as he said.
The fawning smile he had given Leng Yuexing earlier had vanished from his face, and he said to her coldly, "Let's go."
Then he strode toward the carriage ahead.
Erian and Leng Yuexing entered the carriage, and Aoning followed suit.
The three sat silently in the carriage. Erian had a cold face, while Onin had a slight smile on his lips and his head was down, lost in thought.
Only Leng Yuexing seemed completely unaffected, leaning lazily against the car wall with a calm and natural expression.
No one spoke, and amidst the jolting of the carriage, Leng Yuexing closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Elian turned his head and saw Leng Yuexing's sleeping face, instantly becoming mesmerized.
When Leng Yuexing closed her eyes and slept, she looked like an angel.
His eyelashes, like butterfly wings, cast a small shadow under his eyes.
Her milky white skin resembled mutton fat jade, possessing a lustrous sheen even without sunlight.
Ellian was so engrossed in watching that the slight resentment in his heart gradually melted away, and his expression softened again.
Aoning watched from the side, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.
He thought that because of what had just happened, Elian would dislike Leng Yuexing, and that if he said some nice things, Elian would accept him again.
But now he realized that as long as Leng Yuexing was around, Elian would not look at him.
Therefore, he had to find a way to make Leng Yuexing disappear from Elian's sight.
Aoning touched his swollen cheek as he lowered his head in thought.
The carriage arrived at the palace after a journey of more than ten minutes.
After the carriage stopped, Leng Yuexing opened her eyes.
Ellian resumed his previous behavior towards Leng Yuexing, and he attentively helped Leng Yuexing down from the carriage.
Then he turned to Aoning and said, "I'm taking Leng Yuexing to pay respects to my father. You should go back first."
After saying that, he led Leng Yuexing toward the main hall in the center.
Aoning was left watching the two figures with a strange expression.
At this moment, the king of the Kingdom of Es was already waiting for them in the palace.
The king of the Kingdom of Es was very old. He had several sons when he was young, but most of them died young.
It was only after he grew old that he had his youngest son, Erian.
After Erian grew up safely, he became his only and most beloved son.
He knew that Erian was rather lustful, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
When his servant told him that Elian had brought back a man, he wasn't surprised at all. It wasn't until he heard that the man was suspected to be a god that he took it seriously.
He took out his most formal attire to greet the man who appeared to be a deity.
King Aes did not wait long before Elion brought Cold Moon Star to pay his respects.
The moment Leng Yuexing entered the hall, King Ace suddenly stood up.
He looked at Leng Yuexing in surprise and found that his long golden hair and milky white skin were indeed sparkling with starlight in the sunlight.
He suddenly remembered seeing such a description in an ancient book.
A god from the deep sea, whose skin shimmers like starlight in the sunlight.
King Ace's heart suddenly began to pound rapidly, overwhelmed by a feeling that he couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear.
He wanted to kneel down before Leng Yuexing, but suddenly remembered that the servant who had delivered the message said that Leng Yuexing did not acknowledge herself as a god.
If he were to kneel down rashly, it might displease Leng Yuexing.
So, supported by his attendants, he strode down the steps from the throne and stood before Leng Yuexing.
With trembling lips, he said, "It is a great honor for us to have such a distinguished guest in our Kingdom of Es. We hope you will have a pleasant time in our Kingdom of Es."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing gracefully bowed and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."
King Ais wanted to say something more, but he was afraid of saying something that would disgust Leng Yuexing.
So he turned to Ellian and said, "Didn't you already have the servants prepare the best room? Take our distinguished guest there now, and we can talk about the rest later."
Erian nodded in agreement, and then he took Leng Yuexing to the accommodations arranged for him.
It was a separate castle within the royal palace, built by King Aes for Elion.
The interior is decorated in a way that is breathtakingly luxurious.
Stepping into the castle is like entering a world of luxury.
The first thing that catches the eye is the spacious and bright hall, with a floor paved with magnificent marble that shines brightly.
The walls are covered with valuable oil paintings, each one a true work of art.
In the center of the hall sits an exquisite sofa and coffee table, made of the finest fabrics, soft and comfortable to the touch.
A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, its dazzling light illuminating the entire space.
The castle's dining room was even more luxurious. Gold cutlery gleamed under the candlelight, and the table was laden with exquisite delicacies, exuding an enticing aroma.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer beautiful views, allowing guests to enjoy delicious food while also appreciating the charm of nature.
This must be the most luxurious castle Leng Yuexing has ever seen in all the worlds she has experienced.
It's clear that King Aes values Elian highly; he went to great lengths to build such a luxurious castle for Elian, pouring all his love into him.
Seeing Leng Yuexing's admiring expression, Erian knew that he was very satisfied with the castle.
He wanted to spend more time with Leng Yuexing, but remembering that he needed to report the ship's affairs to his father, he told Leng Yuexing to rest in the castle and then left.
King Aes met with Elian and inquired about Leng Yuexing. After learning that Leng Yuexing was very satisfied with the castle arranged for him, he nodded in satisfaction.
After hearing Ellian say that he encountered Cold Moon Star in the sea, he became even more convinced of his guess.
He told Erian his guess that Leng Yuexing might be a god of the deep sea, and Erian's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this.
He thought those nobles were blind, but little did he know that he was the one who was blind.
