Chapter 2014 - 1972: Snow City Lord, Hann Fairy

Yang Tianjiao laughed and said, "Little Qiang is already very handsome. But I don't want other women to fall for him."

Yang Fengtian said, "Some things must be experienced; if it's a blessing, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, you can't escape it. You must understand that blessings and woes are intertwined, and cause and effect reincarnate. Since Little Qiang has come to the Ancient Continent, he must understand the customs and social etiquette here step by step, deeply learning about the power structure here. Hiding away in a Storage Ring is no way to live."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Yes, you are quite right, let's go, we'll head over together."

So the three of them headed towards the City Lord's Mansion together.

On the way, Yang Fengtian explained his plan to Yang Tianjiao. It was Yang Tianjiao's first visit to the Ancient Continent, and she was unfamiliar with the situation here, especially the female-led social structure, which she found as unacceptable as Wang Xiaoqiang did. She shook her head immediately, "I'm afraid I can't be a Lord and manage billions of living beings..."

Yang Fengtian said, "Don't worry, on the surface, you'll be the Lord, but Wang Xiaoqiang is actually leading everything, it's just for show."

Only then did Yang Tianjiao secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Back in the Immortal Palace of the Nine Heavens, Yang Tianjiao had been the commander of the three armies and managed all the internal affairs of the palace.

Truth be told, with Yang Tianjiao's abilities, she could definitely manage the Galaxy's billions of living beings, but after all, she was not from the Milky Way Star Region, and the people there felt alienated from her. Only Wang Xiaoqiang, the Lord of the Milky Way, truly lead them.

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Guarding the gate were four Guardians, two men standing rigidly like two spears, while the two female Guardians were more relaxed, walking back and forth on guard. This showed that the female Guardians held a slightly higher status than the male ones.

This was indeed a matriarchal society, with women generally holding a higher status than men, even among the guards.

As the three approached, the eyes of the two female Guardians fixed on them, eventually settling on Yang Tianjiao. Although Yang Tianjiao's cultivation base was the weakest among the three, they still regarded her as the leader, neglecting Yang Fengtian and Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Please inform the City Lord that the former steward Yang Fengtian is here to visit," Yang Fengtian said, cupping his hands towards the two female Guardians.

The two female Guardians glanced at Yang Fengtian but ignored him, only asking Yang Tianjiao, "What's your name? What is the relationship between the three of you?"

Yang Tianjiao pointed to Yang Fengtian and Wang Xiaoqiang, "This is my father, and this is my husband."

"Hmm? Alright, please wait a moment. I will report to the Lord of the City." One of the female Guardians said, turning to enter the mansion, while the other Guardian slyly glanced at the three, her gaze lingering on Wang Xiaoqiang with a certain gleam in her eyes, as if looking at a beautiful woman, filled with misguided intentions.

In truth, Wang Xiaoqiang was very handsome, but in the Ancient Continent, he was considered average. Fortunately, the Ancient Continent wasn't like the Ancient Immortal Realm, where men are handsome, and women are beautiful, with generally high attractiveness.

On the Ancient Continent, extremes exist—those who are beautiful are unbelievably gorgeous, surpassing those in the Ancient Immortal Realm, while the ugly are extremely so.

So Wang Xiaoqiang's looks were neither remarkably handsome nor ugly; he could hold his own. Perhaps that female Guardian's husband wasn't as good-looking as Wang Xiaoqiang, or maybe women appreciated men beyond just appearances, so this woman seemed very interested in Wang Xiaoqiang.

Her gaze was the kind that seemed to want to sleep with him.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt uneasy being stared at, but fortunately, this female Guardian did have some charm. Clad in armor, she carried herself with elegance and vigor, and if he were to have an encounter with her, it might be enjoyable after all. However, the thought of women on the Ancient Continent having more than one husband made him feel sickened.

Soon, the female Guardian returned, saying that Lord Snow was willing to meet and invited them in.

Yang Fengtian smiled openly as he led the two inside, following the female Guardian into the Main Hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The hall was luxurious and grand, with a building style that leaned towards elegance, grandeur with a touch of beauty, clearly a woman's domain.

As the three entered the hall, they saw, sitting in the back hall, a woman about forty years old, extremely graceful and beautiful, with skin as white as the first snow. This woman was the City Lord of the Immortal City, Snow City Lord, originally named Xuecheng.

True to her name, Xuecheng had snow-white skin, refined beauty, charming and sexy, radiating the allure of a mature woman.

Snow City Lord possessed a sevenfold Divinity. With one more level, she would advance to Ancient God. Her strength was exceedingly powerful.

Snow City Lord's face wore a gentle smile, appearing warm like jade, calm and serene, with benevolence resembling a Bodhisattva, inspiring awe and affection.

"Yang Fengtian pays respects to Snow City Lord." Yang Fengtian, once the steward of this mansion, naturally stepped forward to bow.

Seeing Yang Fengtian, the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace of the Nine Heavens, kneel before a woman, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a sense of unreality.

Yang Tianjiao also knelt down.

Wang Xiaoqiang did not kneel.

In his life, he only knelt to his parents.

He never knelt to anyone else, no matter how powerful.

The father and daughter of Yang Fengtian, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang not kneel, felt very anxious. Yang Fengtian quickly signaled him with his eyes, but Wang Xiaoqiang pretended not to notice and simply looked directly at the Snow City Lord.

Snow City Lord's warm smile turned cold, her eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang, and a woman next to her snapped, "Who are you? Why do you not kneel before the Snow City Lord?"

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "My name is Wang Xiaoqiang. I only kneel to my parents and never bow to others."

"If you do not kneel to me, I will kill you." Snow City Lord spoke, her voice chilling like a blade.

Wang Xiaoqiang said with unwavering courage, "I would rather break than bend; kill me if you must, but I will not kneel."

With a wave of the jade hand, Snow City Lord unleashed a beam of light through the hall ceiling, enveloping him, revealing a nine-colored Divine Light, clearly a ninefold Divinity.

Just as Snow City Lord harbored intent to kill, suddenly, a woman appeared in the hall, smiling at Snow City Lord, "Mother, we have guests again today."

Though the woman was smiling, her face was icy, her natural chill like a mountain of ice, exuding a heavy coldness, making it impossible to approach.

"Little Hann, you are breaking the rules of the mansion again," Snow City Lord admonished with a solemn face, "From now on, you must walk into my main hall."

This woman was Snow City Lord's only daughter, the heir to the City Lord of the Immortal City, Hann Fairy. Hann Fairy clasped her hands in respect to Snow City Lord, "Yes, Mother."

Wang Xiaoqiang sneaked a glance at Hann Fairy and was stunned. She was breathtakingly beautiful, like nothing he had ever seen.

One cannot compare women; though Yang Tianjiao was beautiful, compared to Hann Fairy, she seemed plain. Moreover, Hann Fairy's noble demeanor rivaled Yang Tianjiao, and her cold temperament was strikingly appealing, like a solitary orchid amidst a valley, pristine and lively, or like a solitary plum blossom in the snow, emanating a subtle chill fragrance.
