There was amazement displayed inside Yan Feng’s eyes. “I didn’t expect that you would be Xue Jing’s companion. What do I think of her? I only know that her father, Xue Ji, and one of the three Great Marshals of the Ice Moon Empire, the Devourer of Blood and Exterminator of Soul, Xue Po, are blood-related brothers. That Xue Po, as the head of the three Great Marshals of the empire, cultivated the Iron Blood Way. As long as they send him out to fight a war, the enemy would all be killed without a single survivor. So, him being the Iron Blood commander-in-chief is justified. Xue Ji, compared to his older brother, is more low-keyed. He only opened a restaurant called Pure Wind House in Ice Snow City. With his brother’s prestige, no one would dare to offend him.”
Finally, Nian Bing was able to learn the Xue family’s background. Inwardly, he couldn’t help but gloomily sigh. ‘To be able to open a big restaurant in the center of the city, he’s indeed not simple, Ah!’
At that instant, a gasp of surprise could be heard. Everyone’s sight all turned toward the staircases. Coincidentally, they all shouted together two words, “Wise Girl, Wise Girl, Wise Girl…”
On the staircase, leading the way was Xue Jing and Long Ling, two woman, one silver, the other purple. Each of them wearing a tight-fitted evening gown that highlighted their well-endowed figure. As they stood there, it appeared that Xue Jing was a bit more developed. The many years of training in martial arts had tempered her body and made her brim with health and vivacity. Although Long Ling was more slender, her smiling expression was gentle and easily made people have a good impression of her.
The majority of the gentlemen present were all staring at the two women, but that didn’t include Nian Bing and Yan Feng. Right at that moment, a blue figure appeared between Long Ling and Xue Jing. She possessed blue long hair that was slightly curly and didn’t seem to be style as they wafted behind her back. Inside her large blue eyes, there emitted a faint light. There was no need to look at her appearance as the look in her eyes was enough to deeply attract Nian Bing. Those eyes were full of wisdom and were as deep and clear as the water in the Yougushentan where the bottom couldn’t be seen. As for her appearance, among the women Nian Bing had seen, only Feng Nu could be compared to her. However, this Miss Luo Rou appeared excessively fragile and her appearance contained a trace of an ephemeral beauty.
Nian Bing smiled. “No wonder Big Brother Yan said that the respectable Count’s only daughter is very precious. Looking at that Wise Girl, I’m really somewhat suspicious about her being the respectable Count’s real daughter.”
Yang Feng looked at Nian Bing. His face displayed a rare light smile. “I don’t really know anything about this, but you shouldn’t let the respectable Count hear these words by any means. Otherwise, he will be livid.”
Both of them looked at each other and laughed. Imperceptibly, the distance between them had greatly shrunk. At that time, the Count was already welcoming people at the bottom of the staircase. The Xue Jing and Long Ling escorted the Wise Girl Luo Rou down the stairs. As she came arrived at the bottom, she stopped and faintly smiled. Then, she slowly bowed to everyone. “Today is my birthday. Many thanks for everyone attending tonight. I can’t help but feel extremely honored by your presence.”
The melodious birthday’s song echoed, giving the inside of the hall a harmonious atmosphere. A cart pushed by two servants slowly arrived. On the cart, there was an excessively immense cake composed of seven layers. On the cake, there were 18 blue candles that had already been lit. As the cake appeared, the light of the grand hall was extinguished. Only the candle light on the cake flickered in the dark. Apart from Nian Bing and Yan Feng, all the other guests were loudly singing the birthday song. Luo Rou was smiling warmly. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest as she closed her eyes to make a wish. After a short moment, her eyes opened and there was a trace of a smile on the corner of her mouth. “Jing Jing, Ling’er! Come blow the candles with me.”
At the same time, the three beauties blew out the 18 candles’ light. Once again, the light in the hall returned. The birthday’s ceremony had come to an end. Luo Rou took a knife and made the first cut in the cake. The knife sliced the first layer of the cake and, when it was pulled out, the knife came out covered in cream. Luo Rou said with a smile, “To the many guest present, my body is not too well. I don’t know if it’s possible to ask one of the young masters present to help me divided the cake. Today, I didn’t have a male companion with me. I hope this young master can also be my partner for the first dance.” When these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Every one of them believed they were qualified and all raised their hand. Each and every one of them outdoing one ano
