Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny IBWASFM

Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Fingertips Slightly Cold (First Update)
 

Lu Xunxue stood silently for a long time, let out a long sigh, and turned to leave.

Zhu Ruyan leaned against the door, listening to the footsteps outside fade away before slowly sliding to the ground, beginning to cry silently.

In these days, the pressure from all sides had almost caused her to collapse.

The insidious intentions of Zhu Lei, the covetous eyes of Profound Wind Tower of the Fire King’s Hall, and the scornful ridicule from the outside world had all put Zhu Ruyan through great torment.

She knew what these people wanted.

They all wanted to use her to deal with Xue An.

So she couldn’t fall.

But it was really exhausting.

There was a time when Lu Xunxue silently supported her.

But now, even Lu Xunxue had “betrayed” her.

However, Zhu Ruyan didn’t hate her.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature.

As an elder sister, she had done enough.

The decisiveness she had just shown was only to prevent her from falling with her.

After crying for a while, Zhu Ruyan slowly got up and sat in front of the dressing table.

The lady in the bronze mirror still had tear marks on her face, yet she remained as charming as a flower.

As she looked, Zhu Ruyan couldn’t help but become infatuated and muttered to herself, “My Lord, when will you come back? Ruyan is so tired, I’m afraid I can’t hold on any longer!”

As she spoke, Zhu Ruyan smiled brightly, but large tears continued to fall.

After a long time, Zhu Ruyan wiped her tears away, and a determined and cold light slowly appeared in her eyes.

Night was falling.

The profound night enveloped the small room.

Zhu Ruyan lightly pressed her red lips together and inserted the last hairpin, then stared blankly at herself in the mirror for a while.

At this moment, Zhu Ruyan, fully dressed and lightly made up, looked incomparably stunning.

After a long time, Zhu Ruyan reached out her hand and gently touched her reflection in the mirror.

The cold bronze mirror cooled her fingertips, and as she lightly slid across, the solid mirror shattered into pieces.

If someone else were present, they would certainly exclaim in shock.

Loose Immortal Peak.

The once weak woman had cultivated to the peak of Loose Immortal in just two short years.

This rate of progress was shocking even in Kunlun.

Of course, this was also because, back then, Xue An had given her the essence blood of the slain Immortal Palace lord Fu Wuliang.

But this also proved that the Cultivation Technique Zhu Ruyan was practicing was profound enough, otherwise just crossing the chasm to become a Loose Immortal would not have been so easily accomplished.

This was also the reason why Zhu Lei and others envied her so much.

After a prolonged silence, Zhu Ruyan stood up, pushed the door open, and went out.

Several men were gathered at the doorway, idly chatting.

When they saw Zhu Ruyan, dressed so grandly to go out, they were all stunned.

Zhu Ruyan walked straight over and said softly, “Take me to see Brother Zhu Lei!”

Her voice was clear, cold, and melodious.

The lead man shivered, finally regaining his senses, and quickly nodded, “Okay, I’ll arrange it right now!”

Having said that, he turned and went to make arrangements, and after a moment, he brought over a horse-drawn carriage.

“Miss Ruyan, please!”

Zhu Ruyan lifted her skirt gracefully and boarded the carriage, and after the carriage curtain was lowered and it moved away.

Only then did these men look at each other and all reveal sly smiles.

“Did you see that? How arrogant this woman was at the beginning, she even cursed Young Master Zhu this morning, and now what? Still not obediently capitulated?”

“Hehe, this woman is really beautiful though! No wonder Young Master Zhu didn’t want to kill her! If it were me, I’d want to keep her for a good time too!”

“Heh, afraid you haven’t got the luck to enjoy such a woman! A woman like her is not something we can aspire to.”

“Tsk tsk, isn’t thinking about it enough? Even the prettiest of women are just as afraid of death, aren’t they?”

The conversation of these people then turned extremely vulgar and disgusting, occasionally interrupted by a few sinister laughs that traveled far into the stillness of the night.

Meanwhile, on the carriage, Zhu Ruyan just quietly lowered her gaze, her hands tightly clenched inside her sleeves.

The carriage soon arrived at a bustling location.

It was none other than the renowned Pinchun Tower in Kunlun City, a den of dissipation!

Just the name itself carried a hint of feminine charm.

“Miss Ruyan, we have arrived! Young Master Zhu is inside right now!”

Zhu Ruyan nodded, her expression impassive as she stepped off the carriage, then walked inside led by the carriage driver.

All was silent as she passed.

The pleasure-seekers were so stunned by her extraordinary beauty that they forgot to drink their wine.

The courtesans who were teasing their patrons in their embrace were also taken aback.

Only after she had walked a good distance away did these people seem to snap out of a trance, resuming their usual raucousness.

“Who was that woman just now, so beautiful! I think she’s even prettier than Pinchun Tower’s top courtesan, Pei!”

“Shh, I recognize that woman; isn’t that Zhu Ruyan!”

Hiss.

The name Zhu Ruyan caused many to exchange looks, then they all showed expressions of pity.

“It’s such a shame that Xue An was such a hero, and yet, in just a span of two years, he ended up scattered like dust in the wind and rain, unable to even protect the close confidante by his side!”

“At least he lasted several months, which isn’t too bad!”

“Tsk tsk, I’m afraid this visit will make her the plaything of many!”

These whispered discussions, though deliberately hushed, still intermittently reached Zhu Ruyan’s ears.

Zhu Ruyan gently lowered her head, allowing her black hair to fall forward, concealing her gaze.

Upon reaching the tower, she turned and approached the entrance of a private room.

“Miss Ruyan, Young Master Zhu is inside drinking with Azure Dragon of Profound Wind Tower. Should I go announce your arrival first?”

Zhu Ruyan shook her head and pushed the door open directly.

In this room exuding opulence, Zhu Lei sat with his head bowed, eagerly entertaining a proud and handsome man in his twenties.

A few beautiful women were also in their company.

Zhu Ruyan’s entrance immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Zhu Lei was momentarily startled. “Ruyan?”

Without a word, Zhu Ruyan lowered her head, but the coachman who had brought her made a sign with his eyes to Zhu Lei.

Zhu Lei immediately understood, a smug smile spreading across his face, then he turned to the Azure Dragon, whose face showed amazement, and said.

“Azure Dragon, this lady is my junior sister, Miss Zhu Ruyan!”

Azure Dragon’s gaze flickered greedily, sweeping over Zhu Ruyan’s entire body, before he slightly smiled, speaking in a cold and haughty tone.

“Zhu Ruyan, huh? I know of her! Let her come sit down!”

Zhu Lei nodded and bowed, turning as if to urge her on.

However, he saw Zhu Ruyan slowly walk over and take a seat beside Azure Dragon.

Zhu Lei felt a surge of joy.

He had been thriving in Kunlun City, all thanks to his quick wits in clinging to the influential figure of Azure Dragon from Profound Wind Tower.

The Azure Dragon had always been interested in Zhu Ruyan and the Cultivation Technique she practiced.

That’s why he had been so insistent on persuading Zhu Ruyan.

But his efforts had always been in vain.

He had even met with an embarrassing rejection just that very morning.

Yet unexpectedly, by evening, Zhu Ruyan had come to her senses and arrived of her own accord.

Thinking of this, Zhu Lei’s smile widened, full of pride and satisfaction.

But he didn’t notice the hint of coldness in Zhu Ruyan’s eyes.
