At the entrance of the hall on the first floor, the captain had been waiting for a long time. He seemed to know who was coming, so he was not surprised to see Nanxun. He even sized her up with a thought-provoking gaze. "If I were you, I would turn around and go back right now."
Nanxun's expression did not change. "What do you mean?"
The captain said, "One of your enemies is here."
Nanxun asked, "Who?"
The captain said, "Five hours ago, Ding Meng appeared at the Galaxy Dynasty Hotel in Blue Pole Star City and taught the president's grandson, Jiang Ningyi a lesson. Now, the acquisition of the Bingyi Sea Line has gone awry."
Nanxun was still expressionless. "Got it!"
The captain said, "Aren't you worried?"
Nanxun said, "What should I be worried about?"
The captain said, "Aren't you worried that Ding Meng will bring up old scores?"
Nanxun said indifferently, "I'm not his enemy!"
The captain sneered. "If he finds out about these things, do you think he'll let you go?"
Nanxun said, "Whether he lets me go or not, that's his business. But to me, he's not my enemy!"
The captain was speechless. He stared at her for a while before saying, "Let's go in!"
The decoration of the hall on the first floor was still in the ancient Huaxia style that Lan Bing liked in the past. Even the decorations had not been changed much. There were antique screens placed all around.
Nanxun walked to a landscape painting and stopped. The painting was a beautiful picture of green mountains, clouds, and rain. There was a poem beside it: "When you've crossed the sea, you can't see water. When you've crossed Mount Wu, you can't see clouds."
Nanxun stared at the painting in a daze. Her eyes seemed to be reminiscing about the past, but they were also filled with deep worry. Then, the image of her "Dream of Immortals" faded away, and her real body gradually appeared.
Ding Meng had once seen Nan Xun's true appearance at the Fengyun Great Assembly. At that time, he had been captivated by Nan Xun's peerless beauty. Nan Xun had appeared in the image of a classical beauty. Even though she had only appeared in the illusion created by telekinesis during the battle, Ding Meng had still felt a little moved.
Beauties were like a unique gift given to men by the Creator. In this world, no matter how outstanding a man was, beauties would always be a hurdle that he could not bypass.
At this moment, Nanxun, who was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, stood in front of the antique screen. She really looked like a fairy who had walked out of a painting. She was noble, holy, and moving.
However, this was not her real body. Nanxun's figure changed again. Not only was her appearance changing, but her figure was also changing. After a while, her palace dress turned into a soft, fiery red silk robe. Her face became more delicate, and her figure shrunk slightly. This person seemed to have suddenly become many years younger, turning into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Ding Meng had been following behind her all this time. At this moment, he was truly impressed. He had seen many stunning beauties, because his own women were all top-notch beauties. However, compared to Nanxun, there was still something lacking.
As for what it was that was lacking, he could finally explain it now. It was not a matter of appearance, but a kind of charm that was unique to women.
In terms of appearance and figure, Nanxun was definitely not the most outstanding one compared to Ji Chenxue, Lan Bing, and the others. However, the feeling that she gave Ding Meng now was that Nanxun was like a young girl who had just experienced her first awakening of love. In the most beautiful moment of her life, she had met the person she liked the most. The kind of youthful, pure, and beautiful charm that she showed was unforgettable.
This was like a person traveling among a field of flowers. After a thousand sails, you would feel that the first encounter was the most beautiful. Especially when Nan Xun's beautiful and pure face was paired with this suggestive red robe. She was pure and alluring at the same time. Who could resist such a woman?
Ding Meng sighed secretly. He finally understood why the president abandoned the Holy Grail Federation and insisted on pursuing Nanxun. He even chased her to outer space.
Nanxun stood for a while before entering the side hall. There was a simple shuttle ladder in the side hall. The ladder began to descend.
Ding Meng naturally followed. He wondered who Nanxun was here to meet.
After the shuttle ladder opened, what appeared in front of them was a metal passage. Below it was a control center, but at the end of the passage were eight doors. Nanxun chose the second door from the left to enter.
At this moment, a familiar scene reappeared in his field of vision. Ding Meng found himself in a grassy area filled with birds and fragrant flowers. Flowers were blooming beside him, and the shade formed a forest. In front of him, there was a rockery and flowing water, and the pavilions complemented each other. In the distance, there was a magnificent and exquisite two-story palace built in the shade of the trees. When he looked up further, he saw the blue sea and the sky …
He had seen this scene before in Zhong Yalin's private territory inside the Apocalypse Group. This was clearly a subspace.
In the distance, there was a guqin on the lawn. Nanxun slowly walked over and sat down. She stretched out her slender fingers and began to play the guqin. The music was melodious and refreshing. Listening carefully, there was a leisurely feeling of mountains and flowing water.
If not for his suspicion of Nanxun's motives, Ding Meng would have been entranced by the music.
After a long time, a middle-aged man appeared at the entrance of the palace. When Ding Meng saw this person, he was truly shocked. This was because the information in the database showed that this man was the current president of the Holy Grail Federation, Jiang Qianchen.
Seeing Jiang Qianchen up close, Ding Meng suspected that this was a copy of Wen Yang. He was just like Wen Yang, handsome, elegant, and always had a charming smile on his face. However, he was obviously older than Wen Yang and had a more mature temperament.
Jiang Qianchen seemed to be attracted by the music as he slowly walked behind Nanxun.
Although he was smiling, he looked at Nanxun as if he was admiring a priceless work of art. Then, he reached out his hand and stroked Nanxun's hair. His eyes were full of unspeakable love.
Nanxun didn't turn around. She was still immersed in the beautiful music.
Jiang Qianchen's hand moved down Nanxun's hair and gently stroked Nanxun's face. Nanxun was still playing the guqin, but her eyes were closed. Her face was filled with intoxication, as if she was enjoying the caress of her lover. However, Jiang Qianchen's hand didn't stop. It was still moving down …
After a while, the music stopped and the silk robe fell off. Ding Meng closed his vision and sighed secretly. He never thought that Jiang Qianchen and Nanxun had an affair. However, there must be a reason behind it.
The two of them lingered on the lawn for a long time, like a couple who had been separated for a long time. After a long time, the two of them lay side by side on the lawn and looked up at the blue sky. At this time, Ding Meng turned around and opened his vision again.
Nanxun said faintly, "Brother Chen, the first time we lay together and looked at the sky like this."
Jiang Qianchen sighed and said, "That was more than three hundred years ago. That time was really unforgettable. Both of us were carefree."
Ding Meng was secretly surprised. Did these two guys know each other more than three hundred years ago?
He suddenly thought of something and activated the Monarch's Vision again. He was shocked to find that Jiang Qianchen wasn't the original body, but the image of another person. Compared to the information in the database, Jiang Qianchen's real face was actually very old. It was the face of the 98th president of the Holy Grail Federation, Gu Ming.
Wasn't this President Gu Ming the one who had pursued Nan Xun all the way to outer space?
It was said that she went to outer space and her whereabouts were unknown. There was no news of her after that.
But now, she came back in the name of Jiang Qianchen. What was going on?
Ding Meng had a premonition that he was close to the core of this matter.
Nanxun was still asking questions. She no longer had her usual wise, amiable, and smiling demeanor. She was like a little girl in love asking questions, "Brother Chen, I don't understand!"
Jiang Qianchen caressed her smooth skin, "Ah Xun, what's wrong with you?
It wasn't easy for us to see each other once a month for the past few years, but every time we meet, you become strange. "
Nanxun sighed and said, "Brother Chen, back then you insisted on going to outer space. I know you were also looking for resources and striving to improve your martial dao. But unfortunately, you ran into the cultivators of the Night Luan Empire. I don't blame you for being controlled by them all these years."
Jiang Qianchen revealed an apologetic expression, "Ah Xun, I'm sorry. It's been hard on you all these years. I made you run around the major galaxies for me and forced you to accept the various conditions of the Night Luan Empire."
Nanxun buried her head in his chest, "Don't say that. I was willing to do all these. For our love, I can accept any conditions …"
Ding Meng thought to himself. Could it be that Jiang Qianchen wasn't chasing after Nanxun hundreds of years ago in outer space?
But unfortunately, he was captured by the Night Luan cultivators. Nanxun chased after him. In order to save Jiang Qianchen, she was forced to agree to be the Night Luan cultivators' spy in the human world?
The ultimate goal of the Night Luan Empire was Solitary Entropy and the Holy Temple. Their goal was actually the same as Lord Wu and Henning's. They were all hiding in various parts of the Federal Empire directly or indirectly, waiting for the martial artists of the Divine Light, the martial artists of the Demon Clan, and the people of Aiji Planet to appear sooner or later as time passed.
In this way, many things could be explained. Why was Nanxun's whereabouts so mysterious but her strength so high? It turned out that she had always been active in outer space and maintained contact with the Night Luan cultivators. Nanxun's transformation telekinesis and her abilities actually came from the Night Luan Empire.
When the cultivators of Divine Light and Demons gradually appeared in the Federal Empire and the Storm Gathering was held again, Nanxun began to operate the Night Luan fleet. Now, it seemed that Wen Yang had unknowingly helped Nanxun. The Magic Light Formation didn't summon Henning's reinforcements and was intercepted by Mo Yan.
Ding Meng suddenly remembered that when the Magic Light Formation was activated, Nanxun apologized to Ji Chenxue, "Chenxue, I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark for so long. I didn't want it to be like this. Hurry up and leave with Ding Meng. The people of the Night Luan Empire will arrive soon. If you don't leave now, it will be too late …"
Ding Meng suddenly fell into silence. Nanxun did indeed have her own difficulties. This difficulty was Jiang Qianchen, or more accurately, Gu Ming. This Gu Ming was the man she loved deeply.
At this moment, Nanxun spoke again, "Brother Chen, I've fulfilled all the conditions that I promised General Mo Yan. I discovered the cultivators of Divine Light and Demons in the Federal Empire and also found clues about Ai Ji Star. I helped the Night Luan fleet to teleport here. They also fulfilled their promise and released you. Why don't we go somewhere far away?
Didn't we make a promise many years ago?
When you regain your freedom, we'll find an uninhabited planet and happily spend the rest of our lives together. "
Jiang Qianchen sighed and said, "Ah Xun, I know. I've been working hard. However, General Mo Yan wanted me to complete this project and she agreed. Once the project is successful, she won't care about me anymore. When the time comes, I'll take you and go somewhere far away."
"Really?"
Nanxun looked at him carefully with her beautiful eyes, "When you weren't the president, we were so happy. Now that you're back, we have to sneak around. Is this the kind of life you really want?"
