Of course, it wasn't Jian Shen who sensed the Flower General's presence when she was hiding. It was his two swords that informed him of a woman hiding in the air above him.
The Flower General... The name quite suited her.
A perfect spotless white skin with subtle but not too small curves in all the right places, short silky black hair which was tied together, and a pink dress which other than revealing parts of her sexy body made her truly look like a flower due to designs on them.
Running her fingers gently over the pink flower which was strapped to her elbow and taking in its scent through her nose, the woman had an intoxicated expression on her face.
"Ahhhh... Once upon a time, this smell used to be enough to make me feel satisfied. But now that I've seen you this thing has lost its worth."
Ripping the flower away and throwing it in the air to fly away with the little wind that was present, the woman never once looked away from Jian Shen.
Suddenly disappearing and reappearing less in front of Jian Shen with less than a few inches between their faces, the woman swiftly lifted her hand to stop the attack Jian Shen had thrown towards her face.
Hastily moving her hand back and then evading the sword strike, the woman put a little distance between her and Jian Shen.
"If you were a flower, you'd definitely be a rose. Both beautiful and prickly."
Saying so, the woman sultry licked the cut on her fingers which appeared from trying to stop the Myriad God Sword.
Completely ignoring Li Mei and Xue Ling who had incredulous expressions on their face, the woman once again moved close to Jian Shen while holding her hands in the air to show that she meant no harm.
"My name is Zhao Xiulan. You might also know me by my other name, the Flower General."
"Is this the part where I'm supposed to tell you my name?"
Shaking her head with a smile, Xiulan said, "Someone like you needs no introduction at all. I had already received a report on you when you slaughtered the spies assassins by the Kingdom to capture that woman."
Narrowing his eyes, the smile on Jian Shen's face completely disappeared as he asked, "Were you the one who sent them?"
Raising her eyebrow in surprise at the sudden change, Xiulan once again shook her head.
"I only believe in fighting head-on and not through the shadows."
With the usual smile coming back to his face, Jian Shen asked, "Is that why you were hiding in the shadows until I called you out?"
Chuckling a little Xiulan took one more step closer to Jian Shen and looked him into the eyes.
If it was some other situation, the two of them staring into each other's eyes would've been quite beautiful and worthy of being drawn as a picture.
Unfortunately, with the number of dead bodies and blood surrounding them on all sides the atmosphere just couldn't be considered as romantic in the least.
Still, the two of them didn't seem to mind the gruesome dead bodies around them and looked at each other like two lovers who had been split apart due to some reason and finally met each other after god knows how long.
"I had actually come here to watch over the soldiers and not let them die, but after seeing how sexy you looked while slaughtering them I just couldn't bring myself to intervene."
With the smile on his face turning even more interesting, Jian Shen jokingly said, "You couldn't have fallen in love with me, right?"
"I have."
Blinking his eyes in surprise, Jian Shen let out an exaggerated sigh and said, "Why am I so handsome?"
Chuckling in response, Xian said, "I'm asking myself the very same question."
"If only the both of us belonged to the same side, I wouldn't have to bother with the common customs of not sleeping with the enemy."
"Aren't rules there to be broken?"
Shaking her head in response, Xiulan said, "My family has been serving the Taiyang Empire for ages, so I can't be the one who betrays it... No matter how handsome you are... "
Speaking the second half of her words to try and make herself believe them, Xiulan said, "I gotta go an report back about the army being destroyed. See you some other time Jian Shen. Make sure to stay just as handsome."
Nodding his head, Jian Shen saw Xiulan fly away while stopping many times and looking back towards him with and let out a huge sigh.
Shaking his head, Jian Shen once again asked, "Why am I so handsome?"
Despite having an answer each, neither the two swords who were hanging by his waist or the three women who were watching everything from inside the World Crest chose to say anything.
But LI Mei, however, didn't remain silent and said, "Don't let what just happened get to your head, you narcissist!"
"Tsk. You're just jealous of my handsomeness."
"Huh? Me and jealous? Humph! If I wanted... Humph!"
Making Jian Shen chuckle from her not being able to find anything to say, Li Mei stomped her leg on the blood-covered ground before flying away.
Xue Ling, however, hadn't completely recovered from the shock of what just happened, and what he heard.
Other than being able to live after seeing the Flower General, Xue Ling had just learned about the many advantages being handsome had and also that Jian Shen's master was a False Immortal Realm Cultivator!
No wonder he was so strong for someone in the Dharma Realm.
