The Queen In Red

The Queen In Red 14

Leaning against the tree, Miao Luo had been watching them from the time they had come in to view. 'So many visitors lately, but these faces are new' She thought with joy.

Studying them carefully, she immediately took notice of the High Goddess, if her Kunlun fan wasn't a beacon on its own, then her blatant flare of High Goddess energy was a dead give away "She should be fun."

Looking at the one to her left, she immediately recognised her face. She was that Princes Girlfriend. That woman would find information that no one could know. Some informant for him she supposed. "You... I could use"

And the last one.

She has a beautiful face, much younger than the other two. Miao Luo wasn't sure why, but she felt very much drawn to this High Immortal.

She believed something was missing from her face. "How strange. You are a fox, that much I can see." Miao Luo said with a smile "Who are you, little fox?"

A guard approached the three asking their business.

"Bai Qian would like an audience with Demon Lord Yan Chiwu. He is a friend of mine."

"Demon Lord Yan Chiwu?" The guard asked aloud. He looked back and turned back to the women "Please, follow me."

Following behind him, they noticed the guards moving to let them through, 'we look like repelling magnets' Feng Jiu thought to herself giggling. Bai Qian frowned at her niece.

An apologetic look suddenly flashed past Feng Jiu's face. A blank expression put back in its place.

As they walked on, a well-manicured forest came in to view. Rows of large larch and oak trees systematically placed. It was both chaotic and beautiful. In the middle of the forest was a path lined with yellow chrysanthemums that led passed the trees.

Stopping, the guard waved his hand to reveal a city. At the entrance sat a Palace. The walls were made of concrete, standing three levels high and stretching out wide, as though it acted as a fortress that would keep people out. The design of a Green Phoenix circled the Palace wall as though its wings stretched the length of its concrete walls with the tips of the Phoenix wings ending at the gates. It was simply breath-taking.

When they reached the gate, the residence steward came to greet them. Recognising Feng Jiu and Cheng Yu, he bowed to greet them but said nothing.

"Xuan Yue, these are friends of Demon Lord Yan Chiwu." The guard said, "They have come to meet with him."

"Of course" Xuan Yue turned to lead the way.

The guard was about to follow. "It's fine, I can lead them the rest of the way, You may go" he didn't give the guard a chance to reply; instead, he closed the gates.

Returning to the three women who were waiting at the front of the palace, he led them through to the sitting area.

Feng Jiu's head started aching once she crossed the threshold of the gate and felt sick. The pain seemed to have started from her birthmark. Xuan Yue noticed her discomfort and placed her in a protective barrier that clung to her head like a mask. It relieved the tension straight away.

Xuan Yue noticed the confusion in Feng Jiu's eyes as to why she felt so sick, but Bai Qian and Cheng Yu looked to be unaffected.

Instead of answering, he threw up a privacy barrier around all four of them. "Queen Bai Feng Jiu, What are you doing here when you know you shouldn't be here. Lord Yan Chiwu will not take kindly to you coming to the demon lands, you know how dangerous it is, your Majesty."
