850 Whatever the Wife Says (1/2)
The woman was a most unusual and quite individual beauty. Indeed, the woman was so beautiful that she could only be described as stunning. Everyone's gazes were instantly drawn over to her.
The outspoken young woman's expression changed slightly. Someone had actually appeared just now to book a room for this group of beggars. Also, she went straight for world-grade rooms. In Dragon City, people who could afford world-grade rooms were very rare. What sort of person had the means to simply book two world-grade rooms for others?
When she turned her head and saw the beauty at the entrance, she suddenly felt ashamed. Normally, she would be considered a beauty, but compared with this woman, it was likely that others would simply ignore her. She was not even qualified to be a leaf.
The woman at the entrance was cold, as cold as thousand-year-old ice. An unapproachable aura could be felt a hundred meters from her.
”Gong Biluo!”
Mo Wen's figure trembled. Even in his dreams, he had never imagined that he would encounter Gong Biluo in Dragon City. That day, after they bid each other farewell at the Dafang Sect, he had not seen her again. There was no news of her, as though she had vanished into thin air.
He thought that she had hidden herself away in a place that no one could find her. Before this, he had wondered how he could seek her out, but unexpectedly, she had appeared in broad daylight in Dragon City.
Gong Biluo coldly glared at the young woman. A cold intent caused the young woman to shiver non-stop uncontrollably. Her face turned incredibly pale. She felt a sense of terror, as though something frightening had locked on to her.
”Shan'er, we are going. Let's look for another inn.”
The elders around the young woman realized that this beauty was not someone that they wanted to offend. The cold intent that seeped deep into their bones was like the extreme north wind. A sense of terror subconsciously welled up in them. They hurriedly dragged the unruly woman called Shan'er and left, not daring to stay in the same inn as Gong Biluo.
”Gong Biluo, you…” Mo Wen noticed that Gong Biluo was very different from before. As for what was different about her, he could not pinpoint immediately.
”We'll talk upstairs later.”
Gong Biluo threw a bag of spiritual stones on the front counter. After instructing the female receptionist to prepare three world-grade rooms, she walked upstairs.
Tang Zhizhi was very shocked at the ostentatious behavior of the woman. That bag contained a hundred spiritual stones! She probably would not earn that many spiritual stones in her entire lifetime. World-grade rooms in Dragon City had a standard price of thirty spiritual stones a night. This was an astronomical price. Normally, very few people would stay in world-grade rooms. As for heaven grade rooms, they even rarer. There were but a handful of people who were that lavish.
As they walked upstairs, they did not say a word. World grade-rooms were located on the top floor of the Shallow Moon Inn. Be it location, environment, or service, they were all the best. They had special servants for them to call over at any time. Usually, the Shallow Moon Inn could not even rent out one world-grade room. For someone to claim three rooms in one go astonished many people.
Even Mo Wen felt that something was off. Since when did Gong Biluo have so many spiritual stones? A world-grade room cost thirty spiritual stones a night. Even he would think carefully before splurging so much. Staying for a month would cost more than a thousand spiritual stones. The Intentionless Sect could only earn such an amount in three years.
Ling Feng also noticed that Gong Biluo was very unusual. He could not get a read on this woman. He was a pinnacle ancient martial art practitioner at the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm who had also lived for two to three hundred years. He could usually read people easily. He could tell which stage Mo Wen's exact cultivation was at. However, he could not get a read on the condition of this mysterious woman at all.
”Mo Wen, I'll be resting in my room. I'll leave you two to your own devices.”
He could tell that the relationship between Mo Wen and the mysterious woman was special. He did not disturb the two of them from reminiscing, returning to his room.
Mo Wen allowed Tang Zhizhi to return first. Only then did he walk into a room with Gong Biluo.
”Demoness Gong, long time no see. You've been moving about elusively.” Mo Wen stared at the woman before his eyes. From the very beginning, this woman was like a rebellious wild horse; he had never been able to tame her.
”Look at that cynical tone of yours. Do you have a lot of resentment pent up?” Gong Biluo smiled instead. To see a smile on her ice-cold face was rare.
”It's good that you know that I have resentment pent up inside. Now that you have returned, are you prepared to run off again?” Mo Wen had wanted to keep Gong Biluo by his side a few times, but he could not manage it. Back then, his ability was insufficient. Gong Biluo was more powerful than he was. If she wanted to leave, he could not do anything about it.
Now that he had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, he had a premonition that he still would not be able to keep this woman by his side, although he did not know why.
”This can't be considered returning. I did not come specifically to find you; we just happened to meet each other coincidentally. You do your thing and I'll do mine. We will not get in each other's way.”
Gong Biluo sat down on the couch and poured herself a glass of wine. Unlike Mo Wen, she was very calm.
”What matters do you have to attend to? How about if I help you settle anything that you have? But first, you need to be obedient and not go running everywhere all day.”
Mo Wen had heard quite a bit about what Gong Biluo had been doing. Back then, the mastermind behind the demise of the Gong Clan was the Ming Temple. However, the Gong Clan was not in the Inner worlds or even the Floating Mystery Dimension. It was always in the main space and was under the restrictions of the rules of the Huatian Palace. The Ming Temple could not take on the Gong Clan head-on, and it was even more impossible for them to rally people to head to the main space to stir up trouble. Hence, the Ming Temple had secretly provoked the main space ancient martial art practitioners. With the Nine Yin Divine Technique as bait, they caused a large number of main space sect's to lay siege to the Gong Clan and cloud the eyes of others. In secret, the Ming Temple sent their experts to kill off the strongest forces of the Gong Clan.
The Gong Clan also had Martial Arts Grandmasters. In terms of ability, theirs were even above that of the Gao Clan. Under normal circumstances, how could a group of main space sects possibly destroy the Gong Clan?
However, at that time, no one had obtained the Nine Yin Divine Technique, not even the Ming Temple.
”I am not a little lamb that likes to cling to you. Don't push your luck hoping that I will listen to you obediently. If it wasn't for the fact that I saw someone bullying you in front of me, I would not necessarily want to see you. How can my man be bullied by such lowlifes?”
Gong Biluo reclined lazily on the couch. She held Mo Wen's suggestion in great disdain. Listen to him obediently? She, Gong Biluo, was not that kind of person.
