Chapter 772: sYou’re Right! I’m Into You!” (1/2)

Mu Biqiong jumped into the Star Boat and sat down in a corner that was the farthest from Nie Tian.

She threw Nie Tian a disgusted look, her face ice-cold.

Nie Tian took a glance at her, but didn’t say anything. He started the Star Boat and flew away from the place where the Bliss Mountain Sect disciples were gathered.

The reason why he had demanded that Mu Biqiong stay here was because he planned to use her as a hostage when he went to negotiate with the Bliss Mountain Sect later.

No one else among the Bliss Mountain Sect disciples was a better choice than her.

If he had demanded Jiang Feng, Yao Zhilan, or someone else, after the Ultimates Reverse Grand Spell Formation was deactivated and they were free of the Vitality-returning Celestial Stone’s influence, they would be able to rapidly recover their spiritual power.

If he were to keep any of those people by his side after Yue Yanxi and the other experts left, it would be like having a wolf by his side, and he would face a great threat from their presence.

As for the other weaker disciples of the Bliss Mountain Sect, it wouldn’t be meaningful if he held any of them hostage. Jiang Feng wouldn’t care about their lives at all.

Meanwhile, even though Mu Biqiong was at the Worldly realm, Nie Tian was confident that he would be able to overtake her even after she recovered her full strength.

Furthermore, she was the Bliss Mountain Sect’s Holy Daughter. The Bliss Mountain Sect had placed high hopes in her and poured countless cultivation resources her way. Therefore, they wouldn’t allow anything to happen to her.

WHOOSH!

The Bone Blood Demon also shot up into the sky and flew right under the Star Boat.

Facing forward and with his back facing Mu Biqiong, Nie Tian was lost in thought. He pondered whether he should return to the Domain of the Falling Stars or stay here and practice cultivation after the grand spell formation was reversed.

Eyebrows furrowed, Mu Biqiong looked silently at him from behind. After a while, she finally couldn’t help but say, “You already have Qiao Yunxi and Yin Yanan. Why did you still demand that I stay here with you? You should know that I’m not like them. I won’t give you what you want!”

Taken aback, Nie Tian turned around and asked with a confused smile, “What are you talking about?”

Mu Biqiong, who was wearing a veil, sat with her slender legs crossed, anger filling her deep, icy eyes.

Mu Biqiong snorted disdainfully. “Save it. I’ve met far too many men like you. You think you can have any woman you like by relying on your extraordinary background, don’t you? I don’t know what those two were thinking, but I’m not like them. You’d better drop the idea and leave me alone.”

A confused expression filled Nie Tian’s face. “What idea?”

He thought about it briefly, and then suddenly realized that she had misunderstood his intentions.

“Were you not thinking...?” Mu Biqiong said with an icy expression.

Rubbing his chin, Nie Tian ran his snaky gaze up and down her. With a meaningful smile, he said, “You’re right. I am thinking of it. I’ve heard that the Bliss Mountain Sect’s Holy Daughter has unearthly good looks, which is too appealing to men like me.

“Now that I have you in the palm of my hand, of course I’ll take good advantage of the situation.”

He never had a positive feeling towards Mu Biqiong. He even detested her.

That was because she seemed to be the one who had been responsible for the search for Master Voidspirit’s legacies. It was under her instructions that the Bliss Mountain Sect had chosen a large number of youngsters and had them practice body refining incantations.

Those youngsters had been nothing but chess pieces to them. It wouldn’t have mattered whether they succeeded in Master Voidspirit’s domain or not, they would have been exterminated after the mission either way.

The woman was catty, cruel, and treated human lives like dirt. She had attacked and killed quite a few Divine Flame Sect disciples who had waited for Nie Tian’s arrival. Qiao Yunxi was the only one who had managed to escape with the help of the Flame Bird.

She was by no means a nice person.

Therefore, after realizing what she was assuming, not only did Nie Tian not explain his actual intentions, but he even played along and teased her.

A disdainful look filled Mu Biqiong’s eyes as she said, “All you have is your status as a disciple of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and that powerful puppet. You can only rely on external help. Do you still take yourself as some kind of hero? It seems to me that you just have a powerful background. You’d be nothing without the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace to back you.”

Nie Tian laughed wildly. “You got that right. I can only rely on those things. What are you gonna do about it?”

The disgusted look in Mu Biqiong’s eyes grew even more intense as she finally closed her eyes and ignored Nie Tian.

Nie Tian gave a smile and stopped teasing her.

Shortly afterwards, the Star Boat berthed in front of the palace.

Yue Yanxi, Guan Fu, and Jian Tong were still communicating in low voices by the open stone gate.

As they saw Nie Tian return with Mu Biqiong, their expressions grew strange. Apparently, they misunderstood Nie Tian as well.

Nie Tian cleared his throat, signaling for Mu Biqiong to get off first.

With an icy face, Mu Biqiong slowly rose to her feet. Even though she was sitting in the lotus position, her slender, beautiful legs invited the imagination.
