Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1353

Of course, Ling Lan knew that this peace was just temporary. If she didn't gain the approval of the other 12 lords in the end, she would be faced with endless challenges and the unrest among the people below her.

Li Lanfeng also followed the five guardians to take care of the matters in the rainbow palace. If Ling Lan really became the new Lord Gen, the general manager of the entire rainbow palace would definitely be Li Lanfeng. Compared to Luo Lang's brash and reckless att.i.tude, Ling Lan trusted Li Lanfeng's intelligence and meticulousness more.

As for Luo Lang, he went back to the 7th Bugle Call just as a precaution. If the 13 Lords didn't accept Ling Lan, they would definitely attack the 7th Bugle Call and the rainbow palace together. Although Little Seven, Tian Fang, and Luo Yang were in the 7th Bugle Call, their combat abilities didn't ease Ling Lan's worry. With Luo Lang around, Ling Lan would feel more at ease.

Of course, this was what she told everyone on the surface. In actual fact, Ling Lan was also planning her route of retreat. If by any chance the 13 Lords really decided to cast aside all considerations for a potential war with the Soul Society and attacked them, Luo Lang and the crew members would have a higher chance of escaping under the protection of the 7th Bugle Call.

As for Li Lanfeng and her… since they seeked to gain, it was necessary for them to risk their life for it.

Why did she choose Li Lanfeng to take the risk with her? Thinking up to this point, Ling Lan felt sorry for Li Lanfeng. Luo Lang was her little brother whom she raised personally. She couldn't bear to let him take the risk of dying. As for Li Lanfeng… he was her friend and her soul mate. It seemed natural for him to take the risk with her.

This isn't a good… Ling Lan felt guilty. She decided that if they survived this predicament smoothly, she would treat Li Lanfeng better.

Ling Lan didn't know that when Li Lanfeng heard her asking Luo Lang to leave while letting him stay behind, he was extremely elated. Then, random thoughts about Ling Lan's intention behind her action began to surface in his mind. If Ling Lan treated him even better… fine, Ling Lan, you are seeking your own death.

Ling Lan sat on the ice throne alone as she waited silently for the 12 lords to come and give her their final verdict. This feeling of her life being controlled in the palms of someone else wasn't good.

“This will be the last time.” Ling Lan put her head down as a malicious intent flashed past her eyes. As long as she could persevere through this most difficult checkpoint, she would be able to control her fate entirely.

At this moment, many shadowy figures appeared in the hall. They came silently without any notice.

Ling Lan placed one hand on her head and looked at them directly. She saw the five expected guests barging in her hall and smiled. “Five lords came to visit the rainbow palace personally. I feel so honoured.”

Lord Card suddenly rushed in front of Ling Lan until he was an inch away from Ling Lan's face as he smiled cheekily in his clown outfit. “Are you the Lan Xiao who pretended to be from the Rainbow Raiders? No, that shouldn't be your real name. How should I address you, little friend?”

Seeing Lord Card being so close to him, it ticked a nerve of Ling Lan as her force of presence suddenly exploded outwards. Lord Card instantly retreated back to his original position. He continued smiling as he said, “You're really unfriendly.”

Ling Lan replied calmly, “I don't like it when people come too close to me. As for my name, you can address me as Lord Gen.”

The moment she said this, Lord Card's smile froze. The other four lords' faces turned cold.

Lord Holy, who was wearing a white gown and had golden hair and blue eyes, sneered. “You're really impolite. Do you really think that we will allow an organization to enter the Lawless Lands?”

Ling Lan gave a small smile. “Then shall we make a bet?” Her fearless and nonchalant att.i.tude frooze the expressions on the five lords' faces. This was the first time they saw such an arrogant invader. In the past, everyone who wanted a piece of the Lawless Lands acted cautiously in front of them as they were afraid that the 13 Lords would ban together and eradicate them if they provoked the lords. If the five lords had a choice, they wanted to attack this arrogant little brat together.

However, Ling Lan was fiddling with two objects in her other hand. One was the token representing the governor of the 18th District of the Soul Society. The other was the token used by White Monarch from the Rainbow Raiders. These two items reminded them that there were very influential organizations supporting this arrogant little fellow.

Why did the 13 Lords choose to believe Ling Lan's lies? It was because Ling Lan was too strong for her age. Only the extremely elusive Soul Society was able to groom such a rare genius. Only a rare genius was able to convince White Monarch to work with him.

Without this crucial factor, they would have killed anyone that had the same two items and had spoken the same words as Ling Lan. Did they really think that they were idiots? Would they believe anyone who came with a token and declaring that they were from a certain organization?

Lord Zhen noticed the awkward atmosphere. It was hard to continue the conversation so he tried to mediate the situation. “Lord Qian and Lord Kun would like to know besides the Soul Society, and the Rainbow Raiders, who else wants a part of the Lawless Lands?”

Ling Lan replied indifferently, “On the front, I belong to the Rainbow Raiders. As for the Soul Society, they are not involved in this.”

“That means the Soul Society is working with the Rainbow Raiders, or the mercenary world, right?” Lord Demon, who was dressed quite openly, instantly covered her mouth and laughed sweetly at Ling Lan's words. Her chest jiggled as she laughed.

“You can think of it that way.” Ling Lan gave a mysterious smile to Lord Demon.

“How about this? Little brother, if you're willing to spend a good night with me, I can help you.” Lord Demon's eyes lit up when she saw Ling Lan's gaze. She licked her lips and looked at Ling Lan lovingly.

Ling Lan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Her smile got a tone brighter. Lord Demon followed her and smiled sweetly at her too, making her look even more enchanting and seductive. Contempt could be seen in the other four lords' eyes when they saw this. They seemed to be directing their disgust at Lord Demon and Ling Lan.

At this moment, Ling Lan opened her mouth and emphasised every one of her words. “I'm sorry, I don't like a man.”

“Hahaha…” Lord Card clutched his stomach and laughed loudly. “s.h.e.m.a.l.e, you finally met your match today. I'm going to die from laughing.”

The other three lords laughed too. This was the first time Lord Demon's real ident.i.ty got exposed and also the first time she got rejected. In the past, once Lord Demon activated her seduction domain concept, she never failed. Even they almost succ.u.mb to her enticement. The fellow in front of them was young but his willpower was amazing. Most importantly, he had good eyesight. He didn't get fooled.

“Go and die.” Lord Demon was instantly infuriated when her secret was exposed. She swung her whip at Lord Card.

“Slap!” Lord Card flicked a card out, forcefully directing the whip away from him. The next second, he came beside Ling Lan and shouted in a fearful tone, “What a fierce s.h.e.m.a.l.e. Lan Xiao, hurry up and help me.”

Lord Demon was even more furious when she saw this. She swung both of her hands and ten whips flew out. Just as they were a distance away from Ling Lan, the tip of the whips suddenly turned into hideous snakeheads. They opened their big mouths and bit towards her.

The snakes were about to reach Ling Lan but she didn't move as she sat on her ice throne. She just raised her eyebrows in response.
