Zhi Family Banquet (4)
A soft delicate and elegant figure approached her from a distance. Zhi Yue walked towards the guard while staring at Shi Rong then smiled sweetly. "Would you mind allowing my dear friend entrance into the Auction Hall?"
The guard turned towards Zhi Yue and kowtowed. "Yes Lady Zhi!"
Zhi Yue turned towards Shi Rong with a sweet delicate smile. Her insides churned at her innocent face knowing the dark evil side which hide behind her porcelain mask. She raised her chin slightly in a confused manner. "Thank you miss."
Zhi Yue smiled deeper. "No need for such humble words of thanks. A semi-angel such as yourself shouldn't be treated in such a manner." She spoke sweetly as she analyzed Shi Rong and frowned slightly. "I deeply apologize madam but you look awfully like this harlot which is now widely recognized in this city for stealing my betrothed husband."
Shi Rong arched her brow. "Is that so?"
Zhi Yue placed her arm around Shi Rongs and began ushering her inside. "No worries in that department that woman is nothing but a leech and shall be dealt with. Hopefully you have no run-ins with that dreadful seductive creature." She carried a sweet and innocent air about her as she spoke those vicious words making one believe she has truly been wronged by this woman. Unknown to Zhi Yue she was speaking to Shi Rong unknowing bad mouthing her enemy to the enemy herself.
Shi Rong keep a calm expression on her face while Zhi Yue continued to complain about her as if she was a temptress witch who has caused her great harm.
Zhi Yue led her into a grand room on the second floor with a large glass window overlooking the balcony. Two red velvet chairs sat in the middle of the room with a white small table in the center with two auction cards and a jar of wine.
Zhi Yue sat onto one of the red velvet chairs making herself comfortable. She turned her delicate face towards Shi Rong and spoke gently raising her soft snow white hand towards the chair. "Please sit."
Shi Rong slowly made her way towards the chair and took a seat. The dark room was dimly lighten from the bright auction stage below. The rooms across from theirs had large dark windows preventing one from peering across in order to glance at another, therefore keeping the person occupying the room anonymous.
A man dressed in formal civilian clothes walked into the room slowly towards Zhi Yue. He lowered his body towards her ear in a deep bow extending his hand presenting her with a long elegant gold pipe. "My lady your usual."
"Thank you." Zhi Yue retrieved the pipe from the servant and began lighting the pipe. She blew a cloud of smoke then turned to Shi Rong with a sweet expression. Under the dimly light room now filed with smoke her sweet and innocent expression appeared evil and blood thirsty.
"My dear lady since you are an semi-angel I know your power level and physical strength far exceed those in this city along with your relentless ruthless and craving for blood." Zhi Yue pulled out a small jar containing the eye of the water dragon placing it on the small table with a soft thud. "Angels and Semi-Angels are known for their blood lust and accepting jobs as long as something is of interest to them. I was supposed to turn this eye of the water dragon into the auction hall as donation from the Zhi family due to an incident last night with this horrible woman but upon seeing you I saw an opportunity."
