High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Chapter 353 Maid Xiaoqing, the New City Lord, and an Old Acquaintance

Jinling.

The vast city center.

The majestic and imposing city lord's mansion stands silently.

Since the Dark Star descended three years ago.

This so-called city lord's mansion was also renovated and decorated, becoming a symbol of the "Dark Star Clan".

The three city lords who were previously here.

In other words, the heads of the three major families themselves are also 'body vessels' that bear the arrival of the Dark Star demigods.

And now?

Three days ago, they led an army of tens of millions to Yu City, but never returned.

In a short period of time.

The city lord's mansion also welcomed its new owner.

The new city lord has only been in office for a few short days.

And from beginning to end.

He has never appeared in public.

Except for a very small number of people.

The vast city of Jinling.

Tens of millions of people do not know the name or appearance of this city lord.

All I know is that...

He is very powerful.

It is much, much stronger than the three clan leaders of the past!

because--

Someone saw it.

Even though the demigod's aura was even more terrifying than that of the three clan leaders back then, he still treated the city lord's mansion with utmost respect when entering and leaving!

clatter--

Da da—

At the entrance of the city lord's mansion.

On the empty and deserted square.

A series of slightly tense, hurried, and even cautious footsteps sounded.

That is……

A young girl.

The girl seemed to have almost no spiritual cultivation.

Fourth order?

Or is it the fifth order?

The cultivation level is too low, and the aura is too weak.

So much so that—

In this vast city of Jinling, any figure that could be seen anywhere could easily crush this ant-like girl.

But...

The girl took small, quick steps, crossed the square, and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.

On both sides of the entrance to the City Lord's Mansion.

There were ten guards standing there.

They looked extremely serious.

The fluctuations in his aura even reached an exaggerated Saint-level realm!

Saint-level!

Three years ago in Jinling, this person would have been addressed as "Your Majesty" and could have served as the patriarch of one of the three major families!

And now?

He was just a gatekeeper, nothing more.

"M-men, adults."

"I...I'm here to see Miss, no, I'm here to see the City Lord..."

"She made me... she made me..."

In front of the city lord's mansion.

The girl stopped in her tracks in front of the Saint-level guard.

Even though she had her head down, her pretty face was still pale.

His tone of voice at this moment was extremely tense and cautious.

Her voice was intermittent and barely audible, almost inaudible.

It is worth mentioning that.

The girl's clothes looked quite unique.

It's just like……

Dressed like a maid or servant.

And in her hands, very "fitting for the role," she was holding a plate of steaming tea and snacks.

"Enter."

The Saint-level guards at the gate were noticeably more emotionally expressive than the Dark Star warriors outside the city who were of lower cultivation levels.

now.

Facing a girl dressed as a maid.

The guards even exchanged a very "human" glance.

then.

Only then did the leading guard grant permission to pass.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

But she still didn't dare to look up.

"Thank you, thank you."

She kept thanking them as she took increasingly quick and hurried steps, climbing up and down the steps towards the magnificent and mysterious gate of the city lord's mansion.

Crunch-!

The girl had just reached the door.

The heavy, massive gate, several tens of meters high, opened automatically in response.

Looking from the outside in.

Inside the gate—

It seemed to be shrouded in mist and darkness, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"call--"

Upon seeing this, the girl took a deep breath.

She had been to this place several times in the past three days.

but……

I still felt inexplicably tense and depressed.

The girl's hesitation did not last long.

finally.

She mustered her courage and stepped out into the dark fog.

Swah——

Swish-

Same as the previous times.

The moment I stepped into the mist.

The girl then felt a moment of dizziness.

When I opened my eyes again, the surrounding environment had undergone a complete transformation.

here……

Carved beams and painted rafters, with an antique charm.

At first glance.

It felt as if I had stepped into an ancient Chinese palace.

"Miss!"

The girl dared not look too closely at her surroundings.

Her gaze immediately fell upon the slender figure on the golden throne at the far end of the main hall.

"You're here?"

Around that figure, a fiery red mist surged.

A slightly crisp and languid sound came from it.

"Xiao, Xiaoqing, as you instructed—"

"We summoned all the remaining tea and pastry chefs in Jinling City."

"Then, they prepared this tea and snack for you."

The maid named "Xiaoqing" lowered her head and spoke softly.

"it is good."

The figure on the jade chair simply gave a casual reply.

then.

wow——

wow-

She stood up.

A sky full of red flames surged forth from beneath her feet.

The palace hall was originally antique and elegant.

In just a moment.

It was then completely engulfed by a raging inferno.

"Oh--!"

The maid Xiaoqing screamed in fright at the sudden scene.

Swah——

The next moment.

She then felt a gust of hot wind sweep past her.

When I opened my eyes again.

The figure at the end of the hall had appeared before him.

And the tables, chairs, and decorations in the surrounding halls.

Despite being engulfed in flames, it did not burn to ashes; it appeared as if it were merely draped in a fiery red veil.

"Miss!"

The maid Xiaoqing didn't have time to think about it.

She trembled with fear.

He immediately knelt down and addressed her respectfully.

Simultaneously.

The hands holding the tea tray were also raised high above their heads.

"Um……"

"She really is an obedient and sensible little maid."

"Even in such a panicked and frightened state, they still kept to their duty."

"No wonder your former mistress couldn't bear to let me kill you."

Inside the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

A woman's teasing tone, tinged with amusement, rang out.

wow——

wow-

next moment.

The fire inside the main hall was completely extinguished.

The red mist surrounding the woman slowly dissipated.

The appearance that is revealed.

But like the maid Xiaoqing, she was also a beautiful young girl in red at the age of sixteen!

The only difference is...

The girl in red exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect without a hint of anger.

as well as--

Her appearance and temperament far surpass Xiaoqing's.

"Um……"

"Let me try some of the tea and snacks from your world."

"Speaking of which, it's been 120,000 years since I've had this. I'm really craving it."

The girl in red spoke slowly.

Her tone, however, revealed a mature and languid air, like that of a "mature older sister/woman".

now.

Xiaoqing, the maid who kept her head down.

Taking advantage of the moment when the girl in red reached out and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, he finally mustered up great courage, quietly raised his head, and glanced at it.

And it was this one glance.

Upon seeing that incredibly familiar yet strangely unfamiliar "Miss".

The maid Xiaoqing's eyes immediately reddened, and she could no longer hold back her emotions.

"Miss..."
