Chapter 568: 289: Slay A Shi Zhuo!

Suo Lun was truly not exaggerating.

Now, he was extremely curious about who the biological mother of the Ashi Liren was.

Everyone thought that Liren was the child of Lady Li Zhi, with only a very few knowing she was not.

Suo Lun had also met Lady Li Zhi that evening and could tell that when she was young, she must have been a stunning beauty; just by looking at how beautiful Ashi Luo was, one would know. However, even so, she could not have given birth to a daughter as beautiful as Liren.

In terms of sheer beauty, indeed, only Zhen Yan Princess could compare with Liren, and of course, now there was also Ji Xiuning.

But Liren was different from them; Zhi Yan and Ji Xiuning were too otherworldly, their immortal aura too strong, hardly stirring the desires of men.

Because of the Dragon Yin Absolute Vein, Liren’s beauty was filled with enchantment.

Therefore, her being was not only filled with an immortal aura but also with Magic Power.

Her face was as elegantly exquisite as Zhi Yan’s, and her beauty more compelling than Gui Qinshao’s.

Such a woman, at first glance, truly gives one a heart-stopping feeling, enough to drive a man mad.

Seeing Suo Lun gaze at her unwaveringly, dazed, Liren sighed inwardly.

In fact, a few years ago, although she was also matchlessly beautiful, she was not as breathtaking as she is now.

For some reason, as the backlash from the Dragon Yin Absolute Vein took hold, her beauty became increasingly astounding, now emitting a demonic charm.

Thus, wearing a veil before was not solely to honor Yan Ping but because this face was terrifyingly beautiful.

This beauty was no longer merely about facial features but had reached a state of spiritual and aesthetic realm.

...

However, Suo Lun’s dazed and soul-lost appearance was feigned, being genuinely distracted for perhaps half a second at most.

Seeing his annoying demeanor, Liren did not even bother to turn her head away, continuing to look straight at Suo Lun.

Suo Lun said, "Liren, am I the first man to have seen you?"

Ashi Liren pretended not to hear and asked instead, "How did you deal with my mother?"

"It was very sleazy; do you really want to know?" Suo Lun asked.

Liren shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don’t want to know."

Then, she glared at Suo Lun and said, "I need to wash and change my clothes; are you still going to stay here?"

Suo Lun pretended to leave with some reluctance.

...

Two hours later!

The Ashi Liren was dressed in a brocade robe, with a golden crown atop her head.

Her face was still without a mask, and because of her androgynous attire, her whole being was filled with an undistinguishable charm of both genders.

In a word, she was a hundred times more enchanting than Dongfang Bubai.

Suo Lun once again looked at her with an annoying gaze and blurted out, "Yesterday, in order to infiltrate the City Lord’s mansion, Taosu disguised me as a woman. She was very surprised because I looked more beautiful in drag than she did."

"Pervert..." Liren said coldly.

Suo Lun said, "But seeing you in men’s clothes completely defeats me today; you’re androgynous, truly demonic in charm. You’d better wear a mask in the future; I’m afraid those men will have a stroke if they see you."

Liren completely disregarded Suo Lun’s praise as if it were the wind brushing past her ears.

This brocade robe and golden crown were the Rouran City Lord’s garb, bestowed by the King; she was wearing them for the first time today.

"Does it fit?" Suo Lun asked, "I had it made because I’m the only one who has a rough idea of your measurements, but some parts are still a little small; does it feel tight?"

As he spoke, Suo Lun eyed Liren’s chest.

Liren took a deep breath, pretending not to hear Suo Lun’s flirtations, and clenched her fist to hold back.

Because she really couldn’t help but want to cripple Suo Lun with a single strike.

She felt that if Suo Lun continued to provoke her, there would come a day when she could not hold back.

"Your hair is a bit disheveled in the back, want me to help comb it?" Suo Lun asked.

Ashi Liren suddenly turned around, staring at Suo Lun.

Suo Lun instantly felt uneasy under her gaze.

"What did you just say?" Liren asked.

"Your, your hair is a bit messy," Suo Lun said.

Liren said, "You just said, last night you disguised yourself as a woman and followed Taosu into the City Lord’s mansion to see my mother?"

"I take my leave," Suo Lun decided on the spot, immediately turning around to leave, making a hasty retreat.

But it was too late.

The Ashi Liren easily restrained Suo Lun, completely immobilizing him.

Liren said, "I’m going to the City Lord’s mansion in a while; you dress up as a female samurai and come with me."

"Let’s not..." Suo Lun pleaded.

"It’s a must," Ashi Liren said, "If you hadn’t suggested it, I wouldn’t have come up with such a great idea."

...

Half an hour later!

An army captain accompanied Neishi Min Zhuo into the Ashi Liren Mansion, delivering the order from Mrs. Li Zhi, commanding Ashi Liren to enter the City Lord’s mansion to face interrogation.

A Shi Zhuo really was impatient; he couldn’t wait for Zhi Li’s people to enter Rouran City and was eager to make trouble for Liren, trying to force her off the stage.

Since Ashi Liren was now the legitimate Rouran City Lord, A Shi Zhuo had no authority to summon Liren for interrogation; only Mrs. Li Zhi had that power.

If Rouran City were considered a country, then Lady Li Zhi’s position was akin to that of an Empress Dowager.

Legally, only the Empress Dowager had the authority to command the Emperor.

Seeing Ashi Liren in the City Lord’s brocade robe and wearing a golden crown, Neishi Min Zhuo was momentarily stunned and then lowered his head.

Despite Liren once again wearing the mask, he couldn’t withstand the oppressive charm she emanated.
