Duan Ling Tian was now You Wen Feng, the boy toy of the City Governor of Wu You City. Needless to say, ‘You Wen Feng’s demeanor had completely changed now that he had taken over. He looked at the old woman, who stared at him in shock and disbelief, as he said icily, “Take me to your City Governor.”
“Y-yes…”
The old woman no longer dared to take him lightly. After all, although he was an advanced Lord of Gods, he was more terrifying than the advanced Lord of Gods in Wu You City. Not only that, but she felt that he was even more terrifying than the City Governor, who was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. At the same time, she could not help but wonder if she had hit her head too hard for having such unbelievable thoughts.
Seeing Duan Ling Tian’s pointed and impatient gaze, the old woman quickly consumed a few divine pills to heal her injuries before leading Duan Ling Tian to the City Governor of Wu You City. During the journey, she gradually calmed down and her fear subsided as well. She recalled what happened earlier and found that not only did You Wen Feng become terrifyingly strong, it was like he had become a completely different person. The You Wen Feng of the past was rather feminine. However, at this time, although You Wen Feng’s features were still delicate, his masculinity was unconcealable. It was as though he had been possessed.
‘Is You Wen Feng really possessed? Impossible. Even if he’s possessed, his strength shouldn’t have changed so drastically. He was still a weak and pale pretty boy two days ago! Forget it. I should leave this matter to the City Governor. However… Will the City Governor be able to deal with him?’
The old woman racked her brain, trying to figure out what happened but came up blank. Then, once again, she wondered if she had lost her mind. How could she question whether or not the City Governor, who was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, would be able to deal with an advanced Lord of Gods?
Duan Ling Tian, who was unaware of the thoughts racing through the old woman’s mind, was only focused on meeting Liu Wu You, the City Governor of Wu You City, so he could find out more information about the world he was in. He was incompletely unfamiliar with this world, and You Wen Feng, who did not know much, did not provide him with much information at all.
‘I wonder how the City Governor will react once she finds out that her boy toy, whom she treated like a puppet, is now stronger than her?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as the corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile.
You Wen Feng did not know the extent of Liu Wu You’s strength, but he had seen her fight before. As such, Duan Ling Tian, who possessed You Wen Feng’s memories, could roughly gauge Liu Wu You’s strength. She was not the weakest but she was also not the strongest rudimentary Emperor of Gods; at best, she was mediocre.
After a moment, the old woman finally led Duan Ling Tian to the entrance of the inner mansion of the City Governor’s estate, where Liu Wu You lived. It was very different from the remote courtyard located at the back of the estate where You Wen Feng lived.
The old woman came to a stop and said reverently, “Lord City Governor, You Wen Feng requests an audience with you. He… He seems to possess the strength of an advanced Lord of Gods now…”
The old woman, who was unaware that Duan Ling Tian, a prodigy of the Myriad Laws Academy who came from a different world, was now You Wen Feng, revealed Duan Ling Tian’s strength to warn Liu Wu You.
The cold and slightly surprised voice of a woman rang from the inner courtyard. “Advanced Lord of Gods?!”
Following that, a figure flew out like a gust of wind, arriving at the entrance in just a blink of an eye.
A slender woman hovered in the air. She was dressed in a man’s loose long robe. She was beautiful; her features were delicate, and her eyes were seductive.
Even Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh inwardly at her beauty. No wonder the son of the Mansion Master fell in love with her. Although Liu Wu You could not be considered a peerless beauty, she was still a one-of-a-kind beauty.
Duan Ling Tian sighed again as he recalled You Wen Feng’s memories. ‘This You Wen Feng is really timid. He didn’t even dare to meet Liu Wu You’s gaze in the past. It was as though she was a goddess who couldn’t be defiled.’
However, after thinking about it a little longer, Duan Ling Tian could empathize with You Wen Feng. After all, You Wen Feng was just a god; he was at the bottom of the food chain in Wu You City while Liu Wu You, the City Governor of Wu You City, stood at the top in Wu You City.
Liu Wu You naturally noticed the change in her boy toy. In the past, he did not even dare to look at her, but now, he was boldly staring at her. However, unlike most men, his gaze was not lewd so she was not disgusted with his gaze. Nonetheless, she still frowned at his change in attitude. She said disapprovingly, “You Wen Feng, you’ve grown bolder. You even dare to look at me now.”
Liu Wu You was rather skeptical about the old woman’s earlier warning. After all, she was very familiar with the boy toy whom she found. How could he possess the strength of an advanced Lord of Gods?
Duan Ling Tian ignored Liu Wu You and said to the old woman indifferently, “You may leave.”
The old woman did not respond as she left silently. She could see the threat in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes.
With this, only Duan Ling Tian and Liu Wu You were left at the entrance of the inner courtyard.
Duan Ling Tian shifted his eyes back to Liu Wu You and said tonelessly, “Liu Wu You, why don’t you tell me about the situation outside of Wu You City?”
Liu Wu You furrowed her brows, confused by Duan Ling Tian’s abrupt question. However, anger at his arrogant and bossy manner of speaking quickly replaced her confusion. She asked frostily, “You Wen Feng, do you have a death wish?”
You Wen Feng was nothing but a good-looking tool to Liu Wu You. She was usually indifferent to him, but his impudence today had crossed the line, arousing her fury.
“It seems like City Governor Wu You won’t cooperate unless I make a move,” Duan Ling Tian said before he released his Divine Energy.
Liu Wu You was shocked when he sensed the aura of an advanced Lord of Gods.
‘Did You Wen Feng hide his strength previously? Impossible! I investigated him thoroughly. It’s impossible for him to hide his strength. However, how do I explain this?’
Liu Wu You was perplexed, but she quickly regained her senses when she saw the spatial storm raging around ‘You Wen Feng’, who was now flying toward her. In just a moment, her Divine Energy burst forth and a prominent divine sword appeared in her hand.
Liu Wu You was well-prepared and did not hold back when she attacked, but she soon found that her attack was easily destroyed. The spatial storm swept out and restrained her, causing her to be unable to mobilize her Divine Energy. If she did not experience it for herself, she would not have believed that an advanced Lord of Gods was capable of restraining her, a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.
‘How’s this possible?! His strength… Even an ordinary intermediate Emperor of Gods might not possess such strength…’
Panic began to set in. Liu Wu You struggled to maintain her composure and dignity as she glared at Duan Ling Tian and asked coldly, “Who are you? You’re not You Wen Feng!”
Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air as his Divine Energy pressed Liu Wu You until she was ankle-deep in the ground. He said threateningly, “You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to do is answer my question. The rewards are insignificant if I kill that old woman, but you’re different since you have a higher cultivation base than me.”
Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was serious as he spoke.
Liu Wu You’s expression changed upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. She could not help but despair. She was powerless against him. After all, he was too strong. She could not help but wonder how a heaven-defying person like him could exist. Even the top prodigies in the Divine Kingdom were no match for him.
Liu Wu You took a deep breath. She no longer dared to underestimate the man before her. With his strength, she would have to treat him like a very important guest. Moreover, if someone like him decided to take Wu You City’s side, Wu You City would have a huge advantage over the other cities.
To preserve her life, Liu Wu You, who was at the mercy of the man before her, did not hesitate to lower herself as she said, “My lord, please ask me whatever you want.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said casually, “That’s more like it. Tell me about Wu You City, the Divine Spirit Mansion, and the Divine Kingdom. Explain it to me like I’m a foreigner.”
Liu Wu You looked at Duan Ling Tian incredulously upon hearing his words.
