Chapter 47: Ye Batian

Night shrouded the entirety of Willow Leaf City, yet the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was as bright as day.

Thirty-six golden lampstands were arranged in two rows. Candlelight danced within the pure gold fixtures, illuminating the entire room with a dazzling brilliance. When the light fell upon the pillars, the gold-painted coiling dragons seemed to come alive. When it fell on the window lattices, the gold-leaf inlaid window paper shone even brighter than daylight.

Everywhere in this hall was covered in gold.

Except for one place.

That was the seat right in the center. Draped over the chair was a complete tiger pelt—a genuine fierce tiger with white-rimmed eyes. City Lord Ye Batian sat on this tiger-skin chair.
