Chapter 621: 312: Fairy-like beings! Meng Tuoluo’s lover!_2

He was the number one genius of the younger generation at the Dragon Temple!

At that time, royal children from various countries, except for the Dongli Kingdom, were studying at the Yanjing Divine Dragon Sanctuary.

Zhi Li, Ji Min, Zhi Yan, Zhi Ning, Fang Qingshu, and so on.

Ji Mengbai was not a real royal child of the Flame Empire, he was just the foster son of Prince Ji Yin.

From his name, one could see his status, as male descendants of the Flame Empire Royal Family only had two characters in their names, while females had three. As a foster son, he also had three characters.

Despite not being a true royal descendant of the Flame Empire, when it came to martial arts talent, spiritual power, intelligence, and wisdom, he was indisputably the first.

Among the disciples of the Dragon Temple of that generation, Ji Mengbai was unrivaled in popularity, with countless women admiring him, even Zhi Ning had once harbored a naive secret crush on him.

Meng Tuoluo was the woman who admired him the most.

Because of her unique charm and the shared empathy over their status, Ji Mengbai eventually fell in love with Meng Tuoluo.

Meng Tuoluo was the legitimate daughter of the ruler of the Mi Yue Principality, and her stay at the Yanjing Divine Dragon Sanctuary was actually as a hostage.

The Mi Yue Principality and the Flame Empire were almost mortal enemies, constantly at war for nearly a century, with their territories greatly annexed by the Flame Empire; they were now on their last legs.

Moreover, Meng Tuoluo was betrothed, and once her time as a hostage ended, she would marry into the Dongli Kingdom to the son of Duke Jiang Mo.

Therefore, when Meng Tuoluo decided to fall in love with Ji Mengbai, she faced fierce opposition from her parents and country and completely offended the Dongli Kingdom.

In the end, Meng Tuoluo bravely chose love and married Ji Mengbai.

To save face for the Dongli Kingdom, Meng Tuoluo’s father, the ruler of the Mi Yue Principality, publicly announced that he had expelled Meng Tuoluo from the family and the Mi Yue Principality, completely severing the father-daughter relationship.

Thus, Meng Tuoluo was left with nothing but her love, losing her family, her country, and her sole reliance was only on Ji Mengbai.

But she was still full of longing for her future life!

At that time, another woman was madly in love with Ji Mengbai, and she was the younger sister of Yinzhou’s young master Fang Qingshu, Fang Qingdi.

On one side was Meng Tuoluo, expelled from her country and deprived of her inheritance rights. On the other side was the legitimate daughter of the Lord of Yinzhou.

In the end, Ji Mengbai chose Fang Qingdi, abandoning Meng Tuoluo on the eve of his wedding.

Suddenly, Meng Tuoluo was left with nothing, homeless, taken in by Zhi Ning, and then she became the feared Black Widow, now delving deep into the Barbaric Wilderness, her whereabouts unknown, alive or dead.

All along, Suo Lun had been very curious to know who exactly was that man who had abandoned Meng Tuoluo.

He was once the number one young genius of the Dragon Temple, the foster son of the Flame Emperor Royal Family, now the esteemed son-in-law of the Lord of Yinzhou.

At that moment, when Witch Yuanyuan mentioned Ji Mengbai, Zhi Yan certainly knew what she meant.

Yuanyuan said, "Ji Mengbai is far smarter and more excellent than Suo Lun, but in the end, he chose to become a son-in-law of Yinzhou. He is the smart one, seeing through everything, knowing we from the four states of the Holy Temple are the true people above all, willing to be a heartbreaker just to squeeze in. So, it’s clear, no matter how clever or wise one is, they are nothing in the face of absolute power."

Of course, Ji Mengbai was hailed as the top genius of the Dragon Temple. But Huai Bingyi, Tianhai Mu, and Ji Xiuning, because they were studying in the Sky Holy Palace, were not included in the list.

Yuanyuan then said, "Your brother Zhi Li has married Fang Qingzhuo, the sister of Fang Qingshu. Our circle has already admitted too many outsiders. You should marry Fang Qingshu, he still has to preside over the Hidden Yuan Association, still has to mingle in the secular world, so could you please not think about Huai Bingyi?"

Zhi Yan snorted coldly, "Rest assured, I will not marry Fang Qingshu, nor will I marry Huai Bingyi. I have completely left your circle and will not enter it again. You might see your own circle as noble, but Jiang Xue doesn’t give a damn about you, and neither will I."

Hearing the name Jiang Xue, Yuanyuan’s face twitched, revealing deep-seated hatred.

Then she laughed coquettishly, "Then who are you going to marry?"

"Suo Lun," said Princess Zhi Yan.

Yuanyuan said, "But Suo Lun is already dead, are you really going to die for love for him?"

Princess Zhi Yan smiled disdainfully and then slowly walked towards the grand entrance of Butu Tower.

Suddenly, Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou was truly stunned, looking at Zhi Yan in disbelief, "You, you have already seen through my scheme, it was I who used Suo Lun to kill you, to cut off all thoughts of Huai Bingyi, why would you still go in? Are you really willing to die for love for Suo Lun?"

Princess Zhi Yan said, "Seeing through your ploy is one thing, whether I go in or not is another. My will is not something you can influence so easily."

After that, Princess Zhi Yan walked straight into Butu Tower without looking back.

In an instant, her figure completely disappeared.

Moments later, another relief appeared on the stone wall in the hall, that of the exquisitely beautiful Zhi Yan.

However, her relief still depicted her in clothing, still divinely elegant, transcendently pure.

All the other figures carved into the relief were naked, yet only Zhi Yan’s image was serene and distant, her robes still on.

At that moment, Zhuang Zhixuan stared blankly inside, as if she had been greatly shocked.

"What are you looking at?" Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou abruptly slapped Zhuang Zhixuan fiercely, sending her flying over ten meters away.

Why was she angry? Because she felt her own air of superiority was completely suppressed and overwhelmed by Zhi Yan, which made her furious.

After tumbling to the ground, Zhuang Zhixuan lightly bounced up and then stood with her head bowed.

"Do you feel very moved, don’t you?" Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou stepped forward and slapped her several more times, saying, "As a lowly commoner of the Secular World, you must have so much in common with them."

Zhuang Zhixuan remained silent.

"You go in too. Since you’ve already been defiled by that minor noble Suo Lun, you might as well follow him to your death." Yuanyuan said coldly.

Biting her jade teeth, Zhuang Zhixuan glanced at Witch Yuanyuan and then walked toward the grand entrance of Butu Tower.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared behind the great doors, out of Witch Yuanyuan’s field of view, becoming another relief on the wall.

...

After entering Butu Tower.

Instantly, Zhi Yan felt an endless tide of desire rush over her like terrifying waves.

The entire tower seemed like a world of nothingness.

Inside, countless men and women were entwined, coupling.

The scenes were incredibly explicit, a world utterly lost to debauchery.

But...

Zhi Yan was a person without emotion or desire, and upon seeing these scenes, her thoughts merely wavered.

Once she calmed her mind, she saw the men and women, sunken in desire, turn into entangled skeletons.

The skeletons were the real world.

The countless naked men and women lost in desire were nothing but illusions.

This was a tower of desire that no one with the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures could enter and escape from.

Therefore, they all became mere bones.

Only Zhi Yan, without emotion or desire, upon entering, remained clear and tranquil.

That’s why she could see the real world within; besides the endless bones, there was nothing else.

And these skeletons were all people whose lifeforce had been drained away alive, their vitality consumed by desire until they withered away.

No wonder all other character reliefs were bare and sunken in desire, too appalling to behold.

Only Zhi Yan’s relief still radiated an ethereal aura, fully clothed.

Princess Zhi Yan kept walking within the Giant Tower, resisting the onslaught of desire while searching for Suo Lun.

Before long, she found him.

At that moment, Suo Lun was completely naked but did not exhibit disgraceful behavior. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, desperately using his spiritual power to fend off the invasion of desire.

Zhi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved to Suo Lun’s side, ready to lend him a helping hand.

But just then, another figure rushed over—it was Zhuang Zhixuan.
