Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 13 - Shitian Tower

Li Moyun could not help but chuckle resignedly when he looked at the locked door. Although Bai Rouyun was positive towards him, she still guarded herself as any woman would do. But had she forgotten that she was his wife? It was only right and proper for her to change in front of him!

Even so, he never wanted to pressure her into anything. He knew that if he were adamant about certain things, she would slip away like a snake and maybe never return again.

This was something he could never allow to happen.

Bai Rouyun, who was inside the bedchambers, looked at the clothes that had been laid on the bed. The clothes were made of the finest silk, spun from the ten thousand years glacial worm, and even she, when she was Bai Rouyun from her previous life, had only seen a few times.

To think that the Eternal Shadow Palace had grown to such a degree in the ten years she had been dead; it was indeed a shocking discovery. Only the most influential factions could afford to get these silks from the shop named Royal Cloth.

Royal Cloth was a branch of the most influential faction in all of the world, the Shitian Tower. Shitian Tower was split into different specialities; there were the assassins, the businessmen, and the information network.

Because it spread its claws so widely, it was also known as the most dangerous organization in the world at the time when Bai Rouyun was alive. She doubted that ten years later, they would be even less influential than they were now.

What made her most puzzled, however, was how the Eternal Shadow Palace had managed to get from a somewhat famous faction to one of the top factions in the world.

Still, she was not going to dwell on the problem. Instead, she took the clothes with a gleeful expression on her face and began wearing them.

It was her most favorite fairy type of clothes, and she felt how her beauty, which was already astounding, became heart stoppingly beautiful.

After the clothes were on, Bai Rouyun saw that there was a lot of jewelry on the bed, some were hairpins, others were bracelets, and some were necklaces.

Setting up her hair, she placed a jade hairpin within. She also wore jade bracelets, and jade earrings, alongside a jade necklace adorned her neck. All of it was refined, not garish but elegant.

Her appearance was enchanting. She looked so stunning that when she watched herself in the mirror, she was surprised by how attractive she was. It was not for no reason that the original body had been known as the most beautiful woman in this entire world.

Satisfied with herself, she opened the door, only to see that Li Moyun was standing next to it, waiting for her to come out.

When he saw her, he was stunned. She was so beautiful that he felt his heart stop. This woman was so attractive that he was unable to draw his eyes away from her; she was the woman he wanted to share his life with.

Seeing his stunned appearance, Bai Rouyun giggled happily as she spun around herself, her fairy-like dress spreading around her like a red cloud.

"Like it?" She asked with big doe-like eyes filled with happiness. Li Moyun smiled when he saw it, snaked his arms around her waist and dragged her into a warm embrace.

"Beautiful," he said with a smile on his face, "simply the most beautiful woman in the world."

Hearing his words, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, her lips held a happy smile.

"Let us go to General Bai’s Estate then," she said excitedly. She couldn’t wait to see who it was that was so brazen as to try and kill her.

"I don’t want to let you out," Li Moyun sighed as he tightened the hold on Bai Rouyun’s waist. "You are too attractive, what if someone falls for you?"

Bai Rouyun looked at Li Moyun as if he was an idiot. "I am already married, do you really think that others will be desperate enough to be attracted to me now?"

Li Moyun said nothing, but his eyes betrayed his thoughts. Although she was married, she was simply too stunning, too attractive. Others would want her as well, especially if they knew that Bai Rouyun was still innocent and pure.

"Let’s go then," Li Moyun sighed, but he did not release her waist as he began leading her towards the carriage that was awaiting them outside.

This carriage was the carriage that the Yun Prince usually used. It was not the one that the Eternal Shadow Lord used.

Although it was luxurious, it was not to the point of being overwhelming, and a peak expert like Bai Rouyun was not uncomfortable sitting in it at all.

As soon as they entered the carriage, Bai Rouyun wanted to sit opposite Li Moyun, but contrary to her expectations, she was dragged onto his lap, into his embrace.

"Sit here," he said domineeringly.

Bai Rouyun was stunned at first, but then she laughed as she leaned against the sturdy chest. Her favorable opinion of the man was rising dramatically due to his actions.

Earlier, he had even punished two of his followers for her, and their beauty had not even hoodwinked him. Since he could go against their beauty for her, he was likely worthy of staying as her husband, for now.

Li Moyun looked into her smiling eyes, and a tenderness appeared in his heart. This woman was simply too adorable.

So far, he had spent all his time protecting himself and his friends, getting stronger for the sake of himself, now he had found another goal. He wanted to protect this woman, shield her from any hardship, and ensure that she never encountered any problems.
