Chapter 804 428: I Want to Be a Heroine!
In that case, her mount might one day be able to shit on Murong's head.
Actually, Aunt Leopard Print didn't know that the Murong brothers were not only stronger than Duan Yun in this aspect. Although Duan Yun is quite popular in the Martial World, accompanied by beauties, renowned weapons, and rides, when it comes to attracting more men to be their mounts, he is far inferior to Young Hero Murong.
Especially in the Yun and Yu States, there are many men who want to be ridden by Young Hero Murong.
No other reason, in the eyes of these men, Young Hero Murong is handsome, he's tempting, his hips are beautiful!
As the group emerged from the cellar, about to decide on what to eat today, a woman's voice quickly came from the entrance of the Mountain Villa—"The Yu State Tang Sect is here to present a gift to Young Hero Duan, congratulating him on his heroic spirit crossing the Martial World and his achievements in the Heroic Land."
The Jade Pearl Heroes didn't expect the Yu State Tang Sect, with whom they didn't have much involvement, to come bearing gifts.
Duan Yun had little contact with the Tang Sect, and the few interactions were when he killed the Red House Madwoman and got to know a young master from the Tang Sect.
If it hadn't been specifically mentioned, he would have almost forgotten this matter.
Duan Yun had some understanding of the Tang Sect, known for its deep roots and millennium-old heritage, famous for producing hidden weapons. It is said that in the Martial World, among ten masterpieces of hidden weapons, at least half come from the Tang Sect.
In the Martial World, with its daily fights and battles, encountering difficult opponents, ambushes, and using hidden weapons are regular tactics. As soon as the Tang Sect's exquisite hidden weapons hit the market, even though they're expensive, they are snapped up. The Tang Sect thus earns a lot, said to be wealthy beyond comparison.
Across the Yun and Yu States, it's hard to find a faction wealthier or more influential.
Duan Yun's impression of the Tang Sect wasn't bad; in a Martial World full of perverts, everyone wanting evil, and everywhere being somewhat villainous, this profiting "arms dealer" seemed a tad more decent.
But them bringing gifts at this time, what could it mean?
Have they anticipated his plan to expand the Heroic Land into Yu State?
As the temporary manager of Wangchun City, Feng Ling'er clearly thought more deeply than Duan Yun.
Thinking of future dealings with the Tang Sect, she took on the posture of a hostess and said, "Come in."
Shortly, two women entered from outside.
Both were young girls dressed in goose-yellow clothes, the material and workmanship were quite luxurious, yet at a glance, one could tell they were maids.
Because no matter how luxurious the material and craftsmanship, the style was a standard maid attire.
In a prominent family like the Tang Sect, where maids could dress so well, perhaps it wasn't because the master was kind-hearted, but because he wanted to see pleasing sights, maybe even the household pets wore silk robes.
The two maids were carrying an ornate chest, intricately carved with rose petals so lifelike, and it emitted a rich floral scent as if real roses were blooming on it.
The chest presumably contained the gift from the Tang Sect.
However, the Jade Pearl Heroes were only somewhat impressed, having just moved Gold Mountain and Silver Mountain from the Gu Family; even if the chest were full of jewels, it would be just so.
Duan Yun asked, "Does the Tang Sect have any conditions in sending me a gift?"
The maid shook her head and said, "The master only wishes to form a good relationship with Young Hero Duan."
Feng Ling'er couldn't resist teasingly saying, "For such a big family like the Tang Sect, this goodwill seems quite cheap."
The maid smiled and replied, "The Tang Sect naturally is aware of Young Hero Duan's stature, this gift is not light for the Tang Family either, so there's no need for Miss Feng to belittle it."
Clearly, this maid came well-prepared, knowing the identities of everyone in the villa, and she spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Feng Ling'er was intrigued, saying, "I'd like to see what heavy gift the Tang Sect has brought that gives them such confidence."
At this, not only her but everyone else in the villa grew curious.
The maid on the left smiled and said, "Rest assured, Young Hero Duan will be satisfied. To show sincerity, this maid will now open the chest."
Duan Yun did not stop them, so the two maids exerted force, and the ornate chest opened.
When the chest opened, everyone's eyes straightened a bit.
Inside the chest was not filled with gold nor a dazzling array of jewels, but a person.
An exceedingly beautiful young girl.
The two Tang Sect maids were already considered quite attractive, but beside this girl, they were like crows beside a peacock, instantly losing their color.
In the next moment, amidst sparkling light, the girl stepped out of the chest.
She looked at Duan Yun with a sweet smile, saying, "Young Hero, I am your gift."
She was stunningly beautiful and her attire was extraordinarily beautiful too.
She wore a sky-blue, wide-sleeved celestial dress. This dress shimmered like flowing light, yet was light and sheer, like mist or gauze. Through those layers of streaming light, one could vaguely see her exquisite curves.
Seeing this scene, Feng Ling'er, Shen Ying, Ziyu, Lei Ying, and even Leopard Print Aunt, who had just come out, couldn't help but grit their teeth, secretly cursing, "Seductive vixen!"
As women, they knew well that although this attire seemed quite dignified, that tantalizing subtlety was in fact more seductive than wearing nothing at all.
One could say that just this attire alone was filled with endless cunning.
Seeing Duan Yun with a puzzled look, the girl sweetly smiled and said, "I am Tang Wanwan, my father is the Tang Sect Master, Tang Ao Ran, and my mother is Xu Qingxue, once the number one beautiful piece of Yu State."
"Once?" Ziyu frowned.
As a writer, she had some knowledge of this ranking of beautiful pieces.
Tang Wanwan replied, "Because now I am the top of the Yu State beautiful pieces ranking, which is also why I am here as a gift to see Young Hero Duan."
Recently, there have been rumors of Duan Yun wanting to collect famous beautiful pieces from all over the world; Duan Yun himself had also heard, but one can only say rumors fly faster than one can refute them.
Even running until his legs broke could not help.
But with this explanation, the Tang Sect's intention became entirely clear.
And indeed, this gift cannot be considered anything but precious.
One has to say, the Tang Sect, known for doing business, filled every step with cunning.
Tang Wanwan continued, "My father admires Young Hero for his character and style, and I also look up to your demeanor. Therefore, I have come a long distance willingly to be here. I never sought to compete since childhood, so being a concubine is without complaint."
This woman spoke so flatteringly, making any small gesture or word a man's delight, putting other women in the Yuzhu Manor on high alert.
Lei Ying was the first to retort, "The first beautiful piece of Yu State, the fame of the tigress of Yu State is known throughout Jiu Zhou, does the first beautiful piece deserve comparison with Tianzhou's first piece?"
Tang Wanwan replied without arrogance, "Sister Lei, the first beautiful piece of Tianzhou has such airs. I've never married anyone and am still pure as jade, truly doesn't know how to compare."
Her words were gentle, appearing easy to bully, yet made Lei Ying grit her teeth.
What a dirty mouth!
At this time, Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying both looked at Duan Yun and then at Tang Wanwan, who suddenly appeared as a gift, with displeasure.
Lei Ying bluntly self-disclosed, "Even if your scantily rooted Yu State's first beautiful piece is worth something, you're thinking too much about being a concubine. I'm merely a servant here."
Little Yin added, "No, she isn't a servant, just a mount."
Then Duan Yun spoke, "Miss Tang, the Tang Sect's goodwill is appreciated, but such a precious gift is unnecessary."
Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying both breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Duan Yun prefers us warrior women, not impressed by this scheming seductive vixen.
Feng Ling'er had already assumed the posture of the mistress, saying, "Miss Tang, you being clever and quick-witted, you wouldn't misunderstand, right? Yuzhu Manor does not need you; please leave."
Tang Wanwan suddenly knelt down, saying, "Young Hero, I have come with sincerity, actually not wanting to be a gift, but to see you in another identity."
"Since childhood, I've had a dream."
"A dream seemingly out of reach yet close at hand."
"Young Hero, I wish to be a female hero!"
"A true female hero!"
"Only you can fulfill my longing for heroism."
Tang Wanwan's eyes were sincere, emotion overflowing.
With these words, Feng Ling'er and others felt a chill in their hearts, secretly thinking, "It's over."
As expected, the previously calm Duan Yun's eyes lit up, saying, "Do you truly want to be a heroine?"
"If I'm lying, may I be struck by five thunders, smitten by heaven's bolts, childless forever, and as flat as a steel board on the chest!"
Hearing these words, many people in the villa looked at Shen Ying.
What a damned curse!
