Chapter 2728
2728 City-building celebration (1)
In fact, he had just come out of seclusion not long ago.
However, after he came out of his closed-door cultivation, he had heard the clan members mention Leng ruoxue’s name. What caught his attention the most was that Leng ruoxue was actually master Yu’s disciple.
After finding out about Leng ruoxue’s identity, he started to pay attention to her. This time, when he heard that the little girl wanted to build a city and the Qilin clan had received the invitation, he volunteered to come. Of course, the main reason he came was because he was curious about Leng ruoxue. However, after knowing that he was going to participate in the celebration of Demon city’s founding, the Qilin clansmen’s expressions were all rather interesting and filled with disbelief.
Looking at his clansmen’s shocked expressions, the man suddenly felt that it was quite interesting to occasionally do something unexpected. In the entire firmament, the person who had done the most unexpected things was naturally the famous and popular Leng ruoxue. As such, his interest in Leng ruoxue was even stronger!
Now that he had heard from the Dragon whale that the little girl knew how to use formations and that there was delicious food here, the man felt that this trip had not been in vain.
When uncle long heard the man’s words, he was speechless. Why is this guy either staring at the array or interested in eating?! However, they were all foodies. Foodies had always had something in common with each other, so when the two foodies got together, they naturally began to talk about food as if no one was around.
The more the two talked, the more congenial they became. The crowd of people who were watching with their mouths agape had all become background boards and were completely ignored.
When Leng ruoxue felt that it was about time, she went from the room to the living room. She saw everyone sitting there like fools, while uncle long was having a great chat with an unknown man. It was obvious that the two of them were having a great time.
Originally, Leng ruoxue didn’t want to disturb the two of them when she saw that they were chatting so happily. However, the auspicious time for the celebration was about to arrive, and uncle long still had to host the celebration! If they continued to chat like this, they would be wasting time.
Leng ruoxue had no choice but to interrupt them.
“I’m sorry to disturb you, uncle long. It’s almost time. ” Leng ruoxue reminded him helplessly.
“Argh! Look at my memory. I’m sorry, everyone, I almost forgot the time. ” When uncle long saw that Leng ruoxue had arrived, he hurriedly stood up and apologized to everyone present. However, as to how much sincerity he had in his apology, it depended on the person.
Of course, everyone expressed that they didn’t mind.
At this moment, uncle long pulled Leng ruoxue over and introduced her to her with a smile,””Xue ‘er, this is Mister Shui mo from the Qilin race.” Then, he turned to the man and said,””Sir Shui mo, this is my little Xue ‘er.”
“Hello, Mr. Shui mo.” Leng ruoxue could tell that this man had extraordinary abilities, so she spoke very politely.
“Hello, Little Girl. I’ve heard of your name for a long time. Let’s have a good sparring when we have time.” Shui Mo’s eyes glowed with joy.
This little girl was not an ordinary person. She was indeed worthy of being the disciple chosen by the master. In a few breaths, Shui mo had already sized up Leng ruoxue and made a quick judgment. He had a good impression of her.
However, Leng ruoxue was confused by Shui Mo’s words.
Why did this powerful senior of the Qilin clan want to spar with someone the moment they met? This was not a good habit! She was a little speechless. More importantly, this person’s strength was clearly above hers. As such, Leng ruoxue could not understand why this person would target her.
At this moment, she naturally didn’t know that Shui mo wanted to spar with her not in terms of martial arts but in terms of formation. However, no matter how helpless she felt, she still said politely,””If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely exchange pointers with senior!”
Of course, these were just polite words.
However, Shui mo was very serious and decided that he would take action as soon as they finished their business.
Just like that, unknowingly, Leng ruoxue had been targeted by a rather persistent Qilin.
A moment later, the celebration began as scheduled.
Leng ruoxue and the rest headed to the ceremony venue first. It was located in a specially-opened public square in Demon City, and the decorations were so gorgeous that it was almost impossible to look at. Although many of the people present had seen big scenes, it was clear that the scale of Demon city’s celebration was beyond their expectations.
The venue was decorated with exotic flowers, each competing to bloom. The ground was covered with a red carpet, raising the entire celebration to a higher level. Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most eye-catching thing was the crystal fruit plates on the podium.
Those fruits were obviously not ordinary. Each fruit was covered with a layer of faint fluorescent light, and rich spiritual energy was flowing around the fruit.
He was really too rich! No! These fruits were not something that could be obtained with money!
With shock, everyone took their seats.
As the emcee, uncle long started to give a long and eloquent speech once the time was up. Leng ruoxue, who was sitting in the VIP area, listened to uncle Long’s emotional speech and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. She had known uncle long for so long, but she never knew that he could actually say so many things on the surface.
Just as Leng ruoxue’s thoughts were running wild, she suddenly heard uncle Long’s voice,””Next, let’s welcome our city Lord, Leng ruoxue, to give a speech to everyone.”
In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned to her.
Leng ruoxue was stunned. Was there a need for her to speak?
On such an important day, it was only right for her to say a few words since she was crowned as the city Lord. However, if she remembered correctly, there was no part of the celebration process where she, the city Lord, would give a speech. Uncle long had definitely added scenes without permission!
When he saw Leng ruoxue smiling evilly at uncle long, he felt extremely helpless.
Uncle long had learned his lesson. He had also launched a surprise attack. She was really not prepared for this! However, she was naturally not afraid of such a scene!
With a faint smile, Leng ruoxue stood up from the VIP seats and walked straight up to the high platform that had been set up in advance. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth with a very polite tone,””Thank you, everyone, for coming to our Demon city’s founding ceremony today. From today onwards, I officially declare the establishment of Demon City. ”
Pausing for a moment, she looked around and continued,””I don’t know if everyone is aware, but the reason why our Demon City has today’s scale is all thanks to rime ice. So, I have to thank her properly! If it wasn’t for her sneak attack on us a few months ago, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have thought of building the land of demons into a Demon City! I hope that the three Hierarch gods of the Lord God’s Manor will convey my Demon city’s deep gratitude to Rime when you return. At the same time, I would like to thank the Lord God’s Manor for sending people to witness the great moment of our Demon city’s construction! I hope that everyone will have a good time today. ”
After saying that, she walked down the stage that was covered with a red carpet.
