Celestial Overlord - Chapter 85 Vermilion

“Hey look! It’s our sect’s genius”

“Isn’t that a mortal guy with her!”

“Hahaha! So our sect’s beauty has a mortal lover”

A pair of voice came from behind her. She knew the voice, it was the voices of her fellow disciples.

Just as she heard their voices, she fastened up her pace. They were nothing but trouble in her eyes. Seeing her sudden change Tian Lee frowned. He turned towards the direction from where the voice came.

Two young man and Two young girls were standing. They had the familiar robe which Mo Lee was wearing. Divine Dragon was written on their robe, insisting that they were the Divine Dragon sect’s disciple.

“Big Brother! Don’t mind them, let’s go!” Mo Lee said as she pulled Tian Lee arms. “Where do you think you are going dear!” a young man voice came from behind the four. A male with a mesmerizing appearance appeared.

“Hey look! It’s the Prince of Shen country! Prince Gin!” someone in the crowd shouted. The passerby halted as they looked at the young man. He was a well known young man, a Prince of a subsidiary country. Who specializes in Beast taming and he was well known for his Vermilion bloodline.

The crowd was now curiously looking at the scene. “Who are you calling Dear! I am not your Girlfriend!” Mo Lee replied with a face full of disgust. It was one of her Blood-related brother deeds. He traded Mo Lee for Power. He signed a contract for the marriage to the prince. Even though she was against it, her parents and Han Lee made her to compel.

She did not know, whom to ask help. She did not want to trouble Tian Lee or her grandparents, as she kept it within her.

Now he has come to claim her. Prince Gen had the Vermillion Bloodline whereas Mo Lee had the Phoenix bloodline. The Prince wanted to marry her for his countries benefit. He did not have any feeling towards her except he saw her as a tool.

The Shen country, one of the subsidiary country under Taing Emperor. There were many political rifts among the countries in the Golden Dragon continent. Some were trying to rise in power. Some were trying to claim the Emperor status. And the Shen country belonged to the later.

After the death of the Crown Prince, the Emperor become weak both physically and mentally. So, many countries started making move. And Shen country was one among them.

“The future Queen of my country should not be walking like this, that too holding hands with a mere mortal,” he said as he looked at Tian Lee with a face of disgust. Just as he tried looking at the person next to her, he saw the mortal eyes flickering into scarlet as it turned back into normal. A chill ran down his spine.

What? What was that he thought. But soon, he calmed himself saying it must be because of the alcohol he drank last night. “Sigh! I am thinking of weird things, just how powerful was the alcohol?” he thought.

“I don’t like the way you look at my sister!” Tian Lee said in a cold voice. Hearing this the Prince, as well as the crowd, was dumbfounded. “Oh! Such guts for a mortal” the Prince thought. “Don’t think badly of me, even though you are her brother, I can’t let a mortal hold the hands of my Queen!” he said smiling as he released his Spiritual realm aura.

Just as he was expecting the mortal to start begging for mercy. He heard a voice inside his head, “RUN! PRINCE RUN!” the voice was full of fear. He immediately recognized the voice, it was Lord Vermillion. The Spiritual Beast of his bloodline, it was their family guardian.

“What happened Lord Vermillion?” he asked in panic. “Don’t ask me anything! Please run away from this place, every moment you delay will cost not only your life but also mine, just run away Prince Gin!” the voice was full of horror.

Hearing this the Prince Gin started running away from that place, followed by his subordinates. Leaving the whole crowd stupefied. While the crowd was in a dilemma, Tian Lee moved away with Mo Lee.

They stopped in a distance away from the crowd. “Mo’er are you hiding something from Big Brother?” Tian Lee asked as Mo Lee explained everything about how she was used as a trade tool for power by Han Lee.

Hearing this Tian Lee hugged her without a saying anything. “You know right! Big Brother is always there for you! Maybe in the past you were afraid of causing me troubles, but not now” he said as he patted her head.

Feeling Tian Lee embrace, Mo Lee calmed down. She really loved her Big Brother after all, she smiled as she thought about it.

“Cheng!” Tian Lee voice resounded in his mind. “I understand! Young master” Cheng replied as her voice faded.

“It’s too crowded in here!” someone who was standing in line shouted. Tian Lee and Mo Lee were walking straight to the entrance. As the sects disciples had a special treatment. Because they had the pass.

But the guards stopped Tian Lee, as they instructed him to come in line. Without saying anything Tian Lee went and stood in the line. As Mo Lee waited inside. The Auction had a very strict rule even for the powerful families.

The Auction was held by Purple Cloud sect. Various artifacts as well as pills and cultivation scrolls, weapons were available here. The mortals and the people without special treatment had to follow the line, while the sects disciples and sect people can enter there with their pass.

Just as Tian Lee was standing in the line. He saw two familiar faces coming in his way. It was the Emperor and the Divine Dragon sect’s head. They approached him and stood behind Tian Lee in line without saying a word.

Making the whole crowd dumbfounded.
