Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please Chapter 57.1

Chapter 57.1 : Locked in Dreams

Everything returned and fell back into peace.

After that unusual commotion at the Barricaded Spirit Tower that day, no signs of any intruders were found after an investigation was carried out. Although it had everyone rather baffled, but since no disaster had come out from that, the Green Wave Emperor just strengthened the defenses in the surrounding areas and the little interlude was then covered over.

But the true sequence of events that happened that day might only be known to Qing Ye Li who had gone through it himself.

Yue Xin Yan was sensitive enough to notice that the atmosphere these few days had become heavier these past few days.

Although the All Saints Day had ended, they were unable to refuse the Green Wave Emperor's pa.s.sionate invitation when he asked the emissaries from the other kingdoms to stay a few more days.

In a certain private room within the Imperial Capital, an incredibly handsome man in white robes holding a folding fan with a landscape painting on it stood fanning himself leisurely. "I'll say, are we still brothers at all? Is it really that difficult for you to share with me what you saw and heard that day?"

"There's nothing to tell." Qing Ye Li said indifferently. Fair and slender fingers picked up the wine cup and turned it around in his hand before his brought it up to his lips and took a sip from it.

Baili Ji Ran raised an eyebrow and shook his head, a knowing look on his face. "Something's not right. You disappeared suddenly that day and then came to appear inside the Barricaded Spirit Tower. Could it be that you dueled with some powerful unparalleled expert in there and you were not even able to see their moves clearly and so….. you're too embarra.s.sed to say anything?"

Qing Ye Li was wearing his mask and hence the expression on his face could not be seen. But when Qing Ye Li raised his eyes up briefly to glance at him, Baili Ji Ran saw that the look in his eyes seemed a little conflicted, and a little speechless.

Like he was looking at a r.e.t.a.r.d.

Baili Ji Ran was taken aback by that scathing glance and he then coughed lightly a couple of times. "Forget it, forget it. Since you are not willing to tell me, I shall not ask anymore. When are you going to leave then?"

Qing Ye Li immediately thought of that piece of bloodstained cloth and his eyes darkened. "There is something else that I have not yet investigated thoroughly into."

"Are you still thinking of trying to find the lady in that painting here?" Baili Ji Ran immediately understood what he meant. "That is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I have already searched these lands for so long and not to mention even finding a woman that looked like her, there wasn't even a sign of those unique eyes you described….."

His voice suddenly trailed off.

And the expression on Baili Ji Ran's face suddenly became startled, a strange feeling rising inside him.

Qing Ye Li was a little puzzled as he looked at the man, not knowing why he had suddenly stop talking.

It was as if his mind was suddenly stuck, when he came to recall something he had cleanly forgotten about. Seemingly a little stunned, he then said: "Don't tell me….. I remember it now. During the All Saints Day festival, I discovered a very interesting young lady. I had been curious and had wanted to probe to see her cultivation. In the end, my consciousness was attacked but the other party must not have held any ill intentions or that one strike might have turned me into an idiot."

"At that time, I saw a pair of….. It was golden in colour, eyes like those of a spirit beast." Baili Ji Ran still felt a lingering fear in his heart as he recalled the incident. "Even in the White Fen Lands, I had never met anyone with such a powerful and oppressive aura. Unless we're talking about Cloud Heaven, then will I come to encounter such a powerful ent.i.ty."

Qing Ye Li creased up his brows when he heard that. [Golden eyes, spirit beast?]

[A young lady, with a mysterious and powerful spirit beast hidden within her body. Wait…..]

He suddenly remembered what that hideously ugly woman said. [That la.s.s possessed very rare, and the purest blood meridians there is. If she had not failed to see what was for her own good, it would be great if she was cultivated into a puppet. What a great pity…..]

The man's tall slender frame then stood up from his chair, the highly exquisite wine cup in his hand broken into pieces from his overly tight grip, but Qing Ye Li did not seem to realize it as he stood there completely frozen in place.

[It could almost be confirmed….. The person in the Barricaded Spirit Tower that day, the bloodstained piece of cloth, and that one brief glimpse he had of a highly familiar feeling gaze back at the banquet.]
