Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 276 Madam Hu, Beauty Hu, and Yan Lingji [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The living saint Chen Hong was not greedy for fame or fortune. After finishing his work, he resigned and returned to his residence.

He brought his two wives, Lü Zhi and Lü Su, to live in a secluded mansion on Shouyang Mountain.

They also picked up Gao Yao, Xiao Yue, and the others.

Chen Hong and the others were used to the food Gao made and Xiao Yue's attentive service.

After a few days of wild and unrestrained behavior with the two sisters, Lü Zhi and Lü Su, in the palace on Shouyang Mountain.

Chen Hongjing, feeling restless, opened the portal to another world and traveled to the other side.

After a dizzying spin, Chen Hong was immediately teleported to a location.

Looking at the magnificent palaces and pavilions before me, with their strong ancient Chinese architectural style, they possess a unique sense of luxury and beauty.

Silky pink and transparent ribbons fluttered in the wind among the pavilions and corridors, demonstrating the owner's considerable wealth.

The surrounding area is filled with trees and flowers, artificial hills, and the sounds of birds singing.

"Giggle...giggle...Sister, you're so annoying!"

Then came a burst of silvery, bell-like laughter from a young girl.

Two pretty girls ran from the end of the corridor, playfully bickering.

The two women tickled each other, their fox-like, cunning, and charming laughter ringing out.

She was having a lot of fun, and her clothes were a little disheveled. Her pink silk dress had slipped down, revealing her snow-white shoulders and collarbone.

One was wearing a pink dress, and the other was wearing a light blue dress.

At such a young age, her pink lark tube top and green bamboo leaf tube top already resemble a beautiful mountain range.

Above the mountains, the Tianshan Mountains are covered in snow.

One has a face as charming as a fox.

One is the gentle and graceful temperament of a lady.

At that moment, the pink fox turned its head and glanced casually, immediately spotting Chen Hong watching them from beside the artificial hill in the courtyard.

Startled, she quickly pulled up her silk robe and pointed her long, slender fingers at Chen Hong.

"You...who are you?"

"What are you doing in the backyard, you unrelated man?"

"Come here! Come!"

Madam Danqing, having straightened her clothes, turned and looked at Chen Hong, following her sister's finger, and was also startled.

However, she was naturally calm and composed, and unlike her younger sister, she did not shout or yell. Instead, she gave Chen Hong a slight bow.

"Young master, have you taken the wrong path?"

"This is the inner courtyard, young master. It would be best if you left as soon as possible."

"I can send someone to take the young master out."

Chen Hong looked at the two women and felt that they looked somewhat familiar.

"I came from the void and mistakenly entered this place, thus offending the beauty."

May I ask where this place is?

The woman in green was somewhat surprised, thinking that Chen Hong was just making up an excuse, but she still answered.

"This is Fire Rain Manor. Please leave as soon as possible, young master."

"Fire Rain Manor?" Chen Hong was somewhat surprised, as memories from his past life slowly surfaced.

Fire Rain Manor, isn't that a place from the TV series "Nine Songs of the Sky"?

Since this is Huoyu Manor, could the two stunning beauties before us be the legendary wife Madam Hu and Beauty Hu?

I remember it, I remember it!
However, she looks much younger than her age, as if she were in her prime.

The girl's appearance is somewhat different from her adult appearance, no wonder I couldn't remember her for a moment.

"Fire Rain Manor, in the land of Baiyue?"

"Hey! I told you to leave, why are you asking so many questions?"

The young woman, Hu Meiren, stood with her hands on her hips and asked somewhat displeasedly.

"Sister, you mustn't be rude."

Madam Hu, the elder sister, scolded her younger sister and bowed slightly to Chen Hong.

“My younger sister is unruly and has been spoiled by my father and me since she was a child. Please do not take offense, young master.”

"It's alright, it's alright." Chen Hong waved his hand.

"I roughly know where this is, what time it is, and what is going to happen."

"I won't bother you any longer, goodbye."

Chen Hong casually cupped his hands in greeting, and a white cloud rose from beneath his feet, soaring straight into the sky right in front of the two sisters.

The two sisters were stunned. They leaned out of the corridor and looked up at Chen Hong's ascension figure.

"An immortal... an immortal?"

The two women were so shocked that their eyes widened.

Suddenly, I realized something.

Hu Meiren, with a mournful face, grabbed her sister's arm and wailed.

"It's over, it's over, sister, I... I've actually offended an immortal."

Helpless, Madam Hu could only clap her hands and comfort her, "Don't worry, I see that the immortal has an extraordinary demeanor and a broad mind, so I don't think he would hold a grudge against a little woman like you."

Otherwise, I would have punished you just now.

"Really?"

Hu Meiren's eyes lit up, as if a pair of invisible fox ears had stood up.

"real."

Mrs. Hu could only nod in reassurance.

"Great."

Hu Meiren was very happy, but then she became unhappy.

"But, was it because of my rude words that my sister missed out on a chance to become an immortal?"

My sister is so virtuous; if I say a few more words to her, she will surely win the favor of the immortals. Perhaps the immortals will slip something between their fingers that will be enough to benefit my sister for the rest of her life.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault that my sister is in trouble."

Hu Meiren punched her thigh in frustration and pouted.

Mrs. Hu found it both amusing and heartbreaking.

"Sister, there's no need for that. How can we mortals fathom the thoughts of immortals?"

"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate; one cannot force destiny."

"It's just that an immortal has descended to earth; something big is likely to happen."

“Let’s go and inform Father, and remind him to be careful recently.”

"Ok."

The two sisters went to their father's study to report the matter.

Upon hearing his two daughters' words, Huo Yugong was greatly alarmed. "An immortal?"

"You didn't see wrong, did you?"

“Father, we saw it with our own eyes, there’s no mistake.” Madam Hu and Lady Hu nodded firmly.

Huo Yugong pondered, knowing that his daughter would never lie to him.

In other words, they did indeed see immortals.

Regardless of whether what we see is an illusion or not.

This all indicates that someone has their eye on Fire Rain Manor.

"Our Huoyu Manor is rich in rare gemstones called 'Huoyu Agate.' It is thanks to Huoyu Agate that we can live a good life."

"Thinking about it, things haven't been peaceful lately."

"My Fire Rain Manor's Fire Rain Agate mine, with such diluted treasures, is indeed coveted by many."

"Recently, the struggle for succession to the throne among South Korean Crown Prince Han An has reached its most intense moment."

"I seem to smell a hidden crisis."

"But what exactly will they do?"

"What should I do to protect Fire Rain Manor?"

"Are we just going to give up the Fire Rain Agate mine for nothing?"

"How can this be?"

"Without the Fire Rain Agate mine, my Fire Rain Manor will decline in an instant."

"What should we do? What should we do?"

No matter how hard Huo Yugong racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

Because the weak are always just fish on the chopping block, how can they possibly have the means to solve problems?
Leaving aside Huo Yu Gong's unease, Chen Hong left Huo Yu Manor and was flying invisibly in the sky when he suddenly noticed that something seemed amiss around Huo Yu Manor.

Not far from Huoyu Mountain Villa, there is a village.

The village is located not far from the Fire Rain Agate mine.

The people in this village are working hard to mine the veins and make a living by working for Fire Rain Manor.

The mined Fire Rain Agate was sold by Fire Rain Manor to the Seven Kingdoms, earning exorbitant profits.

The village is surrounded by mountains and forests.

On the other side of the mountain forest, Chen Hong discovered that an army was stationed in a camp, but they did not raise any flags and seemed to be acting furtively.

However, their armor was of excellent quality, gleaming coldly, clearly indicating that they were elite troops.

"As expected of the world of Tianxing Jiuge, the armor and weaponry technologies here far surpass those of any historical era."

"It's even better equipped than the Mythical Qin Dynasty player opposite me."

"But are these guys lying in ambush here?"
Or is it just a secret military outpost?

"It's such a coincidence that we're stationed near Fire Rain Manor, could it be..."

Chen Hong stroked his chin, recalling the plot of Fire Rain Manor.

"Could it be South Korea?"

"It seems that old Bi Deng, Han Wang'an, covets the unparalleled wealth of Fire Rain Agate, so he plans to send an army to wipe out Fire Rain Manor and seize the wealth for himself?"

"Oh, at this time, Han Wang An was still the Crown Prince of Han. His robbery of the Fire Rain Agate Mine seems to be related to his attempt to seize the throne and become the King of Han."

"For their own selfish gain and to covet the wealth of others, they would wipe out entire families and massacre entire villages."

Sure enough, no nobleman is a good person.

They were all cunning, cruel, and venomous, treating the common people like straw dogs and human life as worthless as dirt.

Chen Hong sneered, "Looks like there's going to be a good show tonight."

Chen Hong sat atop a cloud, gazing down upon the vast earth.

Soon, daylight passed and night fell.

The troops moved swiftly and surrounded the village with heavy forces.

The leading general waved his hand, and countless soldiers carried buckets of kerosene, pouring it onto the houses in the village and setting them ablaze.

"what happens?"

"Go away!"

"Go away!"

Countless villagers spotted the fire and fled from their houses in terror.

Little Yan Lingji also escaped the burning house with her parents.

The mother held Yan Lingji's younger brother in her arms.

The father frantically led his family to flee for their lives.

But as soon as they stepped outside, they saw armored soldiers, fierce as wolves, surrounding the entire village.

There were also crossbowmen who drew their bows and aimed their arrows at them.

"not good!"

"It's the South Korean army!"

"Run!"

The father's face was filled with terror.

Little Flame Spirit Princess watched in horror as a barrage of arrows, like rain falling in the night, poured down upon them.

Yan Lingji and all the Baiyue villagers were filled with despair.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will either be shot to death or burned to death.

Because they were surrounded by a large number of troops, there was no way to escape.

Yan Lingji's mother handed her younger brother to Yan Lingji, then suddenly pulled her behind her and protected her tightly.

Yan Lingji's father and mother spread their arms wide, firmly protecting Yan Lingji and her mother behind them.

Little Flame Spirit Princess's eyes widened.

"Are Father and Mother going to die under a hail of arrows?"

Why did the village catch fire? Why was it attacked?

Why did South Korean soldiers suddenly attack?

"Why...why did all this happen so suddenly?"

"I'm not prepared at all. Am I going to die here with my whole family?"

Confused, Yan Lingji gripped her mother's rough linen clothes tightly with her small hands, her fists turning white and bleeding.

Unwilling to let his mother die in his place, he peeked out and saw a rain of arrows falling from the sky, his face filled with despair.

"Who's going to save us?"

"Who's coming!"

"Who's coming...who's coming...who's coming..."

It was as if an echo was floating in the void.
