The meaning of the landlady was obvious. Yu Guang Qingxue had many suitors in the Iron Palace, and Fang Cheng, a husband who appeared out of nowhere, might be in trouble.
Fang Cheng was not afraid, but was speechless. He had faked his identity to avoid trouble, but in the end he had to be troubled?
"Why do things like this happen everywhere?"
"Excellent girls can attract bees and butterflies even if they are not aware of it. It depends on whether you are qualified as a flower protector."
Fang Cheng glanced at Yueguang Xingxi who was gloating about his misfortune: "What about you, boss lady? Do you have many suitors?"
Yueguang Xingxi opened the small fan with a snap: "What do you think?"
Her tone was calm but domineering. The number of suitors of the boss lady was definitely not comparable to that of a little girl like Yuguang Qingxue.
Fang Cheng smiled and said, "I guess you have many suitors, but there are very few who really like you."
Yueguang Xingxi asked curiously: "Why?"
Even the driver girl in front quietly pricked up her ears.
Fang Cheng laughed and said, "Because you turned on beauty and turned it off. Believe it or not, the suitor ran away by train overnight."
She was born with the ability to seduce. Who knows how many people have been tricked because of this.
Moonlight Xingxi:......
The driver in front almost burst out laughing.
"Huh, mind yourself,"
Yueguang Xingxi snorted and stopped discussing this boring topic with Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng continued to look out the window. Night was gradually falling, and the entire iron palace was already brightly lit.
Most of the buildings within the wall are in antique style, but they were built not long ago. The roads are busy with traffic and pedestrians, and there are many neatly planned shops along the roads.
Most of the monsters you see are strange in shape, and a small number are human-shaped.
The clothes are also very interesting. Some are wearing T-shirts and jeans, lowering their heads to play with mobile phones, while others are wearing haori and clogs with samurai swords on their waists. It seems like two eras that are far apart are intertwined.
The prototypes of monsters come from ancient human myths and legends. Over time, many monsters have maintained old traditions.
But most monsters do not reject new things. They like to learn about new worlds and new cultures and enjoy industrial products, rather than just being satisfied with survival.
Monsters will also learn from humans. The Iron Cast Palace is a feudal society, but it has entered industrialization in daily life.
Of course, monsters alone cannot achieve industrialization, they just enjoy industrialization.
The entire infrastructure of the Iron Palace was built and maintained by the Machinery City. Even the network cables were pulled by them, but it was only a local area network and could not be connected to the outside world.
The Iron Casting Palace exchanges rich mineral raw materials with the Mechanical City. However, the output of industrial products in the Mechanical City is far from enough, so a large amount of industrial products need to be imported from humans.
Several Aoki Steel factories are located in Iwate Prefecture, and the industrial products produced are transported by ship from the high seas to Hokkaido in a circle.
What the Iron Palace pays for is a variety of special commodities that only monsters can produce, including longevity-prolonging herbs, elixirs, and various special items with magical effects. The consumers are the upper class of human society and almost never flow into the market. .
Looking at the bustling night scene outside the window, Fang Cheng turned around and asked, "Madam boss, when will you arrange for me to meet the Ghost Lord?"
Yueguang Xingxi said softly: "I will make arrangements for you, but the ghost master is very busy, so there is no need to think about it in a short time."
Fang Cheng frowned and said, "How long will it take?"
Yueguang Xingxi smiled slightly: "That's hard to say. Don't worry. I will arrange a place for you. You can stay here first. Anyway, there is nothing urgent at home, so it doesn't matter if you delay for a while."
"It's important, don't be too relaxed."
"Put away your dirty talk, otherwise I may forget you one day."
Fang Cheng had no choice. When he came to someone else's territory, he had to act according to their rules.
Fortunately, Evil God-chan hasn't been out to cause much trouble recently, but we can't think that she will stay quiet forever.
The residence that Yueguang Xingxi arranged for Fang Cheng was in a secluded location, with a large area and a back garden.
"Just stay here for now. If you need anything, you can call me, but I hope everything is fine. This place is no better than Machinery City. You'd better be more at ease..."
Yueguang Xingxi warned worriedly, fearing that Fang Cheng would cause trouble for her while she was away.
Fang Cheng was very dissatisfied: "Madam boss, who do you think I am?"
"I sometimes suspect that you are not a vampire, but a monster turned into trouble. You can cause trouble wherever you go."
"I'm familiar with you. I'm not polite if you say nonsense. It's obvious that trouble comes to me every time."
Yueguang Xingxi smiled but didn't answer, but it was obvious in his eyes that I believed you.
After helping Fang Cheng settle down, she left with her men.
Not long after, monsters brought various items necessary for daily life, including currency circulating in the Iron Palace.
Fang Cheng walked around the small garden before returning to the house. There were TVs, computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, and even game consoles here. It was almost the same as in human society.
He came to the roof and looked at the night view of the Iron Palace through the night that was dyed colorful by neon lights.
The entire iron-cast palace is divided into an outer city and an inner city. The outer city extends from the mountainside wall to the foot of the mountain. The inner city is where Fang Cheng lives now.
The real iron palace is at the top of Sounkyo Gorge. It is a palace that can be seen clearly even from the foot of the mountain.
It is said that there is a hot spring lake at the top of Sounkyo Gorge, but it is exclusive to the nobles of the Iron Palace, and ordinary monsters cannot enter it at all.
Fang Cheng admired the night view for a while, then went down to rest.
…
After separating from Fang Cheng, Yueguang Xingxi took a vehicle and went straight to the top of Sounkyo Gorge, where Fang Cheng happened to be looking at the iron palace.
She informed the gate officer and requested to see the ghost master but was refused.
"Now Mr. Rakshasa is handling government affairs temporarily. If you want to hand over the task, you can hand it over to Mr. Rakshasa."
Yueguang Xingxi is a big monster who collects information in human society for Tiezhu Palace, and his status is not low.
The doorman was neither humble nor silent, but his words conveyed alienation.
"No need, I'll come back some other time."
Yueguang Xingxi left with a calm expression and headed to the palace outside the Iron Palace.
After entering the palace, she was led by her servants to a secluded courtyard, where the only sound of knocking could be heard from time to time by the frightened deer next to her.
A handsome young man was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard drinking alone.
He is nearly thirty years old, his skin is gray-white, and there are two long, thin and sharp horns on his forehead.
Wearing a large and exquisite royal robe, this is the service that can only be worn by the royal family in ghosts, and represents the royal status.
This young man is Oni Takizawa, the second son of the Oni Lord and the boss of Tsukiko Hoshiki.
Hearing the footsteps, Oni Takizawa turned his head and looked over, showed a smile, and greeted: "Xingxi, you are back, come have a few drinks with me."
Moonlight Xingxi sat down opposite, and Onitakizawa poured her a glass of wine himself: "It's been a hard journey. Where are the helpers you brought?"
"It's not convenient to meet him now. I have already arranged for him to stay."
"That's good. Since you are a helper, you must not neglect it."
Yueguang Xingxi picked up the wine glass with both hands, took a sip, and then asked: "Master Takizawa, I just asked to see the ghost master, but the gate officer refused. I heard that the ghost master has not shown his face for half a month."
Onitakizawa put down his wine glass and sighed deeply: "Yes, I specially called you back this time because of this matter. My father has not shown up in the middle of the night, and even I can't see him. Now my brother is acting as government affairs .”
"Does the Senate have no objection?"
"Of course there is, but the voice is too low and it's useless if I can't see my father."
Yueguang Xingxi thought of an extremely terrifying thought: "Could it be that the Ghost Lord..."
Onitakizawa waved his hand and said: "It's absolutely impossible. No one can hurt my father, not even my brother. My father is probably resting due to a recurrence of an old injury."
"I am being rude,"
Yueguang Xingxi's tone relaxed: "Then... what should we do?"
Onitakizawa frowned: "My brother is becoming more and more unscrupulous now. He has replaced many generals in the palace with his own people. The most important thing for us now is to find ways to see our father and ask him to stop his bold behavior."
Moonlight Xingxi felt that Onitakizawa's idea was a bit naive, but she didn't refute it and just nodded lightly.
She had been mentally prepared before coming back, but she didn't expect that the situation had become so complicated.
