Chapter 88 Wan'er Confesses Her Feelings? Galo Arrives with Soul Beasts!
"Wan'er?"
Ye Han raised an eyebrow when he saw that it was Shangguan Wan'er:
"You're back so soon. How's it going at Jingxin Palace?"
Shangguan Wan'er slowly approached, responding respectfully with some hesitation:
"No...nothing's wrong. Wan'er went at the wrong time. Lord Wu was taking his afternoon nap and couldn't get a word in."
Wu Zetian's words were still echoing in her ears, and she couldn't help but feel a little awkward facing Ye Han.
"oh?"
Ye Han noticed her unusual behavior and couldn't help but suspect something was wrong:
"Really? Why are your steps and tone so slow?"
Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback and didn't know how to defend herself for a moment.
"Boom—"
A sudden loud bang interrupted the scene, and a golden ball of light fell from the sky.
In Ye Han's hands, it transformed into a heavy armor piece exuding extreme defensive power:
"Superior Treasure - Ominous Sign: Equipping or absorbing this item permanently increases physical defense by 30% and health by 15%. Passive - Cold Iron [After taking damage, reduces the attacker's attack speed by 50% and movement speed by 20% for 3 seconds]!"
"An ominous sign, the strongest physical defense item second only to Frost Impact, the nemesis of physical attack speed heroes!"
Ye Han looked at the equipment in his hand, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
So he stopped asking about the topic he had just discussed with Shangguan Wan'er, and waved his hand, saying:
"Wan'er, if you have something on your mind, go back and get some rest. You've been working hard lately."
Shangguan Wan'er bit her lower lip tightly, as if she had made up her mind:
"My lord, there's something I'd like to tell you. I actually have feelings for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Han noticed the red marks on her neck.
The red mark was made by five fingers and was a dark color, clearly a mark left by someone pinching hard!
"Who inflicted the strangulation marks on your neck? Wu Zetian?!"
Ye Han's expression changed drastically. He instantly appeared in front of her, his voice as cold as ice as he questioned her.
"Huh? No...that's not it!"
Shangguan Wan'er panicked and quickly raised her hand to cover it up.
But Ye Han raised his hand and grabbed it, his voice even deeper than before:
"Speak! You are my man, and only I can touch you. How dare anyone else bully you like this!"
Shangguan Wan'er was startled, as it was the first time she had ever seen the city lord so angry.
But being cared for and cherished by the city lord, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Especially the phrase "You are the city lord's person," made her heart flutter so much that it almost jumped out of her chest.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a moment, Ye Han became even more anxious.
He could tolerate Wu Zetian in other matters, but he could not tolerate her harming other heroes.
Otherwise, if left unchecked, it could escalate into heroes fighting amongst themselves, and wouldn't that disrupt the established order?!
"Lord City Lord, Lord Wu was just joking with me..."
Shangguan Wan'er's voice was barely audible as she tried to brush it off.
Ye Han was not someone who could be easily fooled. He roughly pinned her against the trunk of the ancient golden tree beside him.
"You just said that Wu Zetian was taking a midday rest and you didn't disturb her. Now you say you were playing with her. Are you hiding something from me?!"
The vibrant tree bark pressed against Shangguan Wan'er's back, but the warm touch couldn't keep up with her suddenly rising body temperature.
She already had feelings for Ye Han, and now that Ye Han had pinned her against the wall like this, even if she questioned him in displeasure, she still saw it as an intimate gesture.
"My lord, Wan'er didn't..."
As Shangguan Wan'er gazed at Ye Han's handsome face so close to hers, her pretty cheeks flushed crimson, and her breathing became rapid.
"Wan'er, you..."
Seeing her shy and helpless appearance, Ye Han inexplicably stopped asking the question that was on the tip of his tongue.
Was he being too harsh?
Could it be that Wan'er has something she can't say about?
Never mind...
Ye Han shook his head, his tone softening slightly:
"If you really don't want to talk about it, then let's leave it at that for now. When you've figured it out, then tell me."
As he spoke, he slowly released his hand from the tree trunk, preparing to step back.
But the next second, several of his fingers were tightly grasped by Shangguan Wan'er's slender hands.
"Wan'er, what are you doing?!"
Ye Han frowned and looked over.
Then she looked up and met his lowered gaze, and with a desperate air, whispered:
"Lord City Lord, there is something I want to tell you. I've already missed so much! Would you be willing to calm down and listen carefully?!"
Ye Han was stunned, and was about to respond.
Suddenly, a slightly hurried sound of footsteps came from outside.
"Tap tap tap—"
A woman with a striking figure and flowing pink hair, wearing a long, revealing robe that covered her chest and exposed her legs, walked towards them.
—Galo!
"Lord City Lord, Lord Shangguan, what is this...?"
As soon as Galo entered, she saw the two people behaving ambiguously, and a strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Her appearance instantly shattered the ambiguous atmosphere at the scene.
"cough!"
Ye Han coughed and quickly composed himself.
He was about to ask a question when Shangguan Wan'er spoke first:
"Galo, as a member of the Great Wall Guard, why have you come here?!"
Shangguan Wan'er's tone was icy, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction at having her plans ruined.
Galo seemed to deliberately ignore her, instead bowing respectfully to Ye Han and saying:
"Lord City Lord, I have come to meet you with three soul beasts on the orders of Commander Li Xin. They are now waiting for you in the Taiji Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Han immediately remembered this matter and nodded slightly:
"Okay, let's go to the Taiji Hall."
He waved and walked ahead first.
Those three soul beasts are the power of faith that's practically within our grasp; how could we let them slip by?
Jialuo glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and followed closely behind.
Shangguan Wan'er clenched her fists tightly after her plans were ruined.
Having nowhere to vent his frustrations, he could only suppress them and followed along.
...
Taiji Hall is the main hall in the city.
The palace is magnificent, and the walls and pillars are carved with stories of kings and the long history of the world.
Ye Han and the two women entered the main hall, but the three soul beasts were nowhere to be seen.
"Galo, where is she?"
Galo immediately replied respectfully:
"Reporting to the City Lord, two of the three soul beasts seem to be at odds, so I have temporarily placed them in the waiting room in the side hall. I will summon them all now."
Ye Han quickly guessed who was at odds with him.
Naturally, it was Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi who had a blood feud with their respective clans.
"We don't need the polar bear for now. Let's summon the two that don't get along first."
Without asking the reason, Jialuo respectfully replied "Yes" and turned to quickly go and summon him.
After she left, Shangguan Wan'er wanted to say something, but considering the inappropriate occasion, she ultimately remained silent.
Soon, Galo returned, followed by two young girls, both with exquisite features and stunning figures!
The girl on the left, Lan Fuzi, has long, dark blue hair tied in pigtails.
The girl on the right is Bai Xiuxiu, with long light blue hair and a bow in her hair.
One is the daughter of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the other is the daughter of the Demon Soul Great White Shark. Both have a cute and soft appearance, but they are resolute in their bones.
The moment the two women's eyes met in mid-air, it was as if invisible ice blades were colliding.
Clearly, even on such an occasion, they still couldn't let go of the deep-seated blood feud between their respective tribes.
At this moment, Ye Han suddenly spoke, his majestic voice resounding throughout the entire Taiji Hall:
"So it is you who want to see this city lord?!"
Finally, the two women, their gazes locked in a fierce exchange, snapped back to their senses and looked toward the main seat of the hall.
When Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu realized that the city lord of Chang'an was just a teenager, they were instantly stunned!
