The old woman in the lead waited until all the girls had finished their tests and announced loudly:

"Ms. Wang, Ms. Mu, Ms. Qian, and Ms. Shen, please enter Wangchuan City!"

"You chose these four out of a hundred people?"

Shen Meng'er whispered in surprise, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the other carriages.

Sure enough, except for the four of them, the rest of the girls had left one after another, with joy on their faces as if they had been pardoned.

The carriage slowly drove into Wangchuan City.

Inside the city gate is a world completely different from the outside world.

If the world outside the city is the human world, then the world inside the city is a fairyland.

There are exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and pavilions and terraces are scattered around.

There are also waterfalls and springs, just like a painting in ink and color.

The carriage was like climbing a ladder, the closer it got to the City Lord's Mansion,

It slowly floated up and finally hovered in the air.

Shen Meng'er lifted the car curtain again, and a soft white light emanated from the City Lord's Mansion, and a light floral fragrance lingered around her nose.

"What kind of flower is this? It smells so good, how come I've never smelled it before?"

The guard driving the car smiled slightly: "I believe Miss Shen will like it."

"How do you know I will like it?" Shen Meng'er was puzzled.

"Anyway, I just know it." The guard pretended to be mysterious and said no more.

The carriage slowly drove into the city lord's mansion.

The grandeur of the City Lord's Mansion far exceeded Shen Meng'er's imagination.

As soon as you enter, you will see an endless sea of ​​white flowers, as if you are above the clouds.

The flowers are crystal clear and emit a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

"What kind of flower is this? Why have I never seen it before?" Shen Meng'er was full of curiosity.

At this moment, the four carriages separated at the fork in the road and headed in different directions.

"Are we going to separate?" Shen Meng'er asked, feeling a little reluctant.

"Yes, Miss Shen.

The host has prepared accommodations for each of the young ladies, all in independent courtyards."

Xiao Hei answered respectfully.

"Oh……"

Shen Meng'er was slightly disappointed.

"I thought I could get to know some of the other ladies."

She sighed softly, as if she had thought of something.

His eyes lit up and he asked quickly,

"Hey, guard brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiao Hei."

"Little black?"

Shen Meng'er burst into laughter.

"But you're not dark at all. It seems your master's naming skills are quite special."

Xiao Hei smiled without saying a word, just quietly pulled the horse's halter and headed towards the mountain east of the City Lord's Mansion.

Along the way, white flowers are like clouds and snow, swaying gently in the breeze.

It emits a faint fragrance that is refreshing and pleasant.

The carriage slowly drove to the top of the mountain and stopped on an open platform.

"Ms. Shen, we have arrived at your residence. Please move ahead."

Xiao Hei's voice broke Shen Meng'er's thoughts.

Shen Meng'er slowly got off the carriage and saw an ancient pavilion.

The pavilion is built on a viewing platform. From the platform, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire Wangchuan City.

In the distance, the sea of ​​white flowers resembles a sea of ​​clouds, swaying gently in the breeze;

In the near distance, exotic flowers and plants compete with each other in beauty, embellishing pavilions and towers, like a beautiful ink painting.

A dozen meters behind the pavilion is a small courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded by green trees and bricks, black tiles and green trees. From a distance, you can see a plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard.

"Luoxia Garden", the courtyard looks very elegant.

Shen Meng'er's eyes were so shocked by the scenery in front of her that she had no time to appreciate the courtyard where she lived.

At this moment, a breeze passed through her veil, and the fragrance of the mountains blew into her nostrils.

She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this scene is so beautiful!"

"Yes, I think so too."

A low and magnetic voice came into Shen Meng'er's ears.

Shen Meng'er looked back and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the courtyard.

The man was tall and slender, dressed in black clothes, with his black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, and he exudes a cool and noble temperament.

Shen Meng'er was stunned by the enchanting appearance of the man in front of her, her heart was beating wildly.

"What's wrong with me?"

Shen Meng'er placed her right hand on her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart.

The man walked slowly to Shen Meng'er and looked at her lovingly.

Her eyes were gentle as water, yet filled with an indescribable sadness.

It was clear that his eyes were looking at another person through Shen Meng'er.

This look made Shen Meng'er very uncomfortable.

She calmed herself down, tried to suppress the inexplicable throbbing in her heart, and mustered up the courage to ask:

"May I ask who you are, sir? Why are you here in my residence?"

Shen Meng'er quickly figured it out before the man opened his mouth:

The person in front of me can freely enter and exit the City Lord's Mansion.

Look at Xiao Hei's reaction, and then look at this guy's temperament.

The man in front of me must be the mysterious city lord.

But he doesn't look like an old monster at this age.

"I am waiting for someone here." The man spoke slowly.

"Waiting for someone?"

Shen Meng'er repeated it subconsciously, and her doubts grew even more intense.

"Just wait for someone, why are you coming into my yard?"

She muttered in her heart, but asked respectfully on the surface:

"Sir, have you waited for the person you wanted to wait for?"

The man nodded, "Yeah!"

Even Shen Meng'er is smart: Could it be that the person he is waiting for is me?

But the way he looked at me was clearly seeing another person through me.

Shen Meng'er, what are you thinking about?

She immediately came back to her senses, rolled her eyes, and pretended not to know.

"I see. I am tired from the journey, so I will not disturb you from reuniting with your old friend."

After saying that, she bowed, turned around and walked towards the courtyard behind her.

The man looked at her leaving back, the corners of his lips slightly raised,

"Quite vigilant."

Xiao Hei took a step forward and said with a bow:

"Master, will you scare her by doing this? After all, Miss Shen... has already forgotten about you."

"It's okay," the man said calmly, "She's not as fragile as you think."

Shen Meng'er pretended to be calm as she walked into the courtyard and gently closed the door.

Leaning against the door panel, he suddenly felt deflated and sat down on the ground.

She covered her chest with her trembling hands, feeling her pounding heart, and gasped for breath.

“Oh my God, what’s going on?

Isn’t the Lord of Wangchuan City an old monster?

How can you look so evil?"

Shen Meng'er slapped her cheeks.

"No, no, Shen Meng'er can't be deceived by beauty.

He's a powerful man who has lived for a thousand years. Even if he wants to find a wife, he won't choose me."

She tried to calm herself down, "But what does that look he gave me mean?

Do I look a lot like his lover?"

Thinking of this, Shen Meng'er couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"As long as I'm not chosen, I can still go home to see my father and aunt in two years."

After making up her mind, Shen Meng'er slowly stood up.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"
