Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 930 - 48: Marriage Matters

Yue Jinghua silently memorized what a few city guards said, and after she, Jue Xin, and the others entered the city, they found a usual inn to temporarily settle down, planning to wander around the city early the next day to see if they could find an opportunity to infiltrate the City Lord Mansion.

As the last trace of red in the sky was swallowed by darkness, the gate of Huasha City emitted a dull sound, and the city guards closed the gate, symbolizing the end of the day.

Suddenly in the sky, a golden flash like a rainbow swiftly pierced the night sky.

After the appearance of that golden flash, another identical golden flash appeared in the sky above.

The second golden flash was slightly darker in color compared to the first.

The two golden flashes, one bright and one dark, collided, producing a sound half as loud as spring thunder.

The city guards were startled, thinking someone was launching a night raid, they surged up to the city.

On the city wall stood two men, one of whom was the City Lord Ye Huacheng, while the other was unfamiliar.

"Brother Yue, it’s been a long time since we last saw each other, it should be twenty years by now," said Ye Huacheng, a well-dressed young man skilled in maintenance, wearing meticulously groomed mustaches.

The city guards of Huasha City were used to this, but their curiosity was piqued by the man standing with the City Lord.

What kind of person could prompt the famously proud Ye Huacheng to welcome him personally?

Under the night wind, the man wore an elaborate robe with wide sleeves, decorated with cherry blossom patterns.

Few men adorn their clothes with floral designs, which can seem overly effeminate, yet this man’s robe didn’t evoke discomfort, instead, it seemed like only he could pull it off.

Falling cherry blossoms, drenched in blood dragon cherry.

The city guards, recalling the recent rumors within the City Lord Mansion, immediately understood that the man before them was one of the Sect Leaders of the Moon Plane, Yue Nian.

"Exactly twenty years minus a month. When I left the Moon Plane to journey to the Star Plane, it was you who saw me off," Yue Nian’s eyes twinkled, his lips carrying a lazy smile.

He and Ye Huacheng both shared the Golden Giant Dragon bloodline of the Sun Dragon Clan, their temperaments were similar.

They grew up training together, playing truant, and getting lectured and beaten by the clan leader and elders.

After reaching adulthood, they chose different ways to travel.

Ye Huacheng risked exile from the Ye Family to hide out in Huasha City, while Yue Nian was arranged by Yue Potian to travel across different planes.

Both hadn’t anticipated, Yue Nian stayed away for years, upon returning to the Moon Plane, Yue Nian was regarded as the clan leader successor, constantly training in the Dragon Palace of the Sun Dragon Clan. They hadn’t met for nearly twenty years.

Old friends meeting again, even carefree souls like Yue Nian and Ye Huacheng couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

"Haha, yes, twenty years. My changes during these years are significant, you see, being the City Lord, I’ve grown white hair. Yet you look just the same as before, no wonder even the most elusive Cangdai Goddess of the Divine Clan got tricked into your hands," Ye Huacheng mocked.

Both were carefree by nature, and as youths, jokingly competed on who would marry and have children first.

Ye Huacheng, despite having numerous romantic engagements in Huasha City, had not married an official wife, as per the Sun Dragon Clan’s rules, only children from official marriages are considered true Sun Dragon Clan bloodline.

Now it seemed Yue Nian would marry first.

Mentioning Cangdai Goddess, Yue Nian’s smiling face showed a hint of helplessness.

"Stop teasing me, you know I was forced. That Cangdai Goddess, I haven’t even properly looked at her, couldn’t tell if she’s flat or round. I’m too lazy to marry, just my uncle’s urgency," Yue Nian rubbed his brow, thinking about it caused an inexplicable dull pain, feeling something missing inside.

"Who you marry doesn’t matter, your status means you can’t decide your marriage. If you don’t like her after marrying Cangdai, I’ll gift you dozens of beauties; from Holy Beast Clan, Human Race, even Demon Clan. As long as they’re in Huasha City, I can get them for you. If you don’t believe me, tonight I’ll take you to Moonlight Pavilion. I heard the pavilion owner found a stunning Human Race woman recently. You stayed in the Star Plane for years, traveling seems false, liking Human Race women seems true," Ye Huacheng laughed heartily, patting Yue Nian’s shoulder, walking down the city wall together.

Yue Nian understood his old friend’s character, didn’t mind, but hearing Human Race women mentioned, felt another wave of strange discomfort.

That discomfort made him feel uneasy.

"No need, I heard Cangdai Goddess will arrive tomorrow afternoon, I better rest in the City Lord Mansion tonight, I’ll need energy to deal with her tomorrow," Yue Nian suppressed the discomfort, declined Ye Huacheng’s offer.

Ye Huacheng knew Yue Nian was coming tonight and prepared a banquet at Moonlight Pavilion, hoping to lead Yue Nian there.

Unexpectedly, Yue Nian outright refused, and Ye Huacheng wouldn’t force him.

Thus the banquet at Moonlight Pavilion was canceled. Ye Huacheng complained for a while, deciding to go alone, inviting Yin Niang to drink with him.

"Why are you alone, wasn’t it said that Master Yue Nian would come too, caused me to prepare meticulously," Yin Niang was surprised seeing her old lover Ye Huacheng alone.

She heard Yue Nian was single, wanting to seize the chance to sell the Human Race beauty to him.

Yin Niang thought she found a treasure, didn’t realize afterward that Lie Rou isn’t easy to handle.

These days she exhausted various approaches, still couldn’t manage Lie Rou.

"Yin Niang, your appetite is growing, the City Lord alone can’t satisfy you?" Ye Huacheng feigned jealousy, making Yin Niang giggle.

"City Lord, how can Master compare to you. But I have a Human Race girl, she’s been stubborn, hard for me alone to handle, hoped Master could help while here," Yin Niang laughed, "I heard Master lived on the Star Plane years ago, should know much about the Human Race."

"A Human Race girl even you can’t handle, that’s intriguing, bring her over for me to see," Ye Huacheng, experienced in beauty, knew Yin Niang’s approach, a woman even Yin Niang couldn’t handle must be formidable.

Strong-willed beauties interest Ye Huacheng more than the gentle ones.
