Chapter 190 (1/2)
”Wu Song, why would you be together with Su Xing?” Leisure Star Gongsun Huang blinked. Her obvious age seemed to very small, but she had a sort of exceedingly refined temperament, which made people feel great reverence for, where no one dared have contempt for her. Even Wu Siyou felt she herself was seemingly younger1 confronting her.
”Su Xing. You are very familiar with him?” Wu Siyou's eyelids jumped, hearing from Gongsun Huang's words hidden information.
Gongsun Huang did not speak, her expression fully directed at Wu Siyou's confusion.
”Your Servant and he have some business that must be settled.” Wu Siyou calmly replied.
Gongsun Huang nodded, neither delighted nor upset.
Suddenly, the girl's brow wrinkled, and she nearly collapsed onto the floor.
”Gongsun Huang, you certainly were not careful this time…” Wu Siyou shook her head. She could discern that although Su Xing's power restricted Gongsun Huang's Gu Poison, this was only stalling. If things went on as they were, Gongsun Huang's Star Energy was almost completely devoured, and to recover would require a long time. In other words, in the Evil Smiting Hall, Gongsun Huang could be counted as changing direction towards withdrawing from the Star Duels.
”You truly are fortunate the one you encountered was Su Xing.” Wu Siyou narrowed her eyes, spitting out a shocking sentence : ”Are you thinking of signing a contract with him like this?”
Gongsun Huang seemingly pondered a moment, then shook her head.
Wu Siyou apathetically said: ”Is it that you do not wish to sign a contract with him, or that you fear he will not sign a contract with you?”
Gongsun Huang blinked but did not answer.
Seeing her so indifferent, Wu Siyou no longer wanted to say anything more. She flipped out a map. On it were more or less some of the locations for the materials she needed to upgrade her Star Weapon. Among them, many could be found in the Vermilion Bird Territory. Harm Star Wu Song understood she had already lost Lin Chong in these Star Duels and that she could only rely on herself now. The sole advantage of acting as a Star General that did not sign contracts lay precisely in upgrading Star Weapons.
Fortunately, refusing to sign a contract, she had abundant time to go ponder this matter.
”Lin Yingmei, even if you have signed a contract, Your Servant shall fulfull our promise!!” Wu Siyou muttered to herself.
Gongsun Huang sat on a square desk to the side, curiously looking Wu Siyou up and down, brimming with an expression that could not fathom the Harm Star Pilgrim.
Several knocks from the door interrupted Wu Siyou's contemplation.
”Who?!”
”Excuse us, is Young Lord Su Xing there? Your Servant comes on behalf of Holy Mother Qixia!”2 The crisp sound of a woman's voice came from outside the door.
Holy Mother Qixia?!
Wu Siyou heard Su Xing mention before that the one commanding the region around Mount Danxia was Holy Mother Qixia. However, it was very odd that this old woman would seek out Su Xing to do something. Could it be this man fooled around with yet another woman? With a vague sense of unhappiness in her heart, she raised her hand, and the door opened on its own.
Two maidens in palace dresses of seven colors with hair like rainbows appeared.
”What is your business!” Wu Siyou did not rise at all, nor did she have the slightest appearance of etiquette.
The two palace girls were stunned upon seeing Wu Siyou's cold and elegant manner. Seeing that Wu Siyou was unexpectedly Galaxy Late Stage, the girl with a flower ring inserted into her hair deferentially bowed and said: ”May we ask what sort of person Your Majesty is to Young Lord Su Xing?”
Wu Siyou was silent.
Seeing that Wu Siyou did not reply, the two woman felt this was odd.
A long time afterwards, Wu Siyou replied without changing her expression: ”Your Servant is his wife. His matters can be spoken to Your Servant.”
The Gongsun Huang inside the room blinked and slightly opened her mouth.
The two women had already known and smiled: ”Young Lord Su Xing is very lucky with women to have such a beautiful and stunning wife. Is Young Lord Su Xing not present?”
”Why do you seek him?” Wu Siyou was somewhat impatient.
One girl passed over an invitation card.
”Holy Mother Qixia has arranged for a feast tomorrow night, and she invites Young Lord Su Xing and the Madam to go attend!”
”What relationship does he have with you? We have only come for but a few days.” Wu Siyou wrinkled her brow.
”It seems Young Lord Su Xing has not informed Madam.” One of the girls smiled: ”Young Lord Su Xing used one billion of pure gold to claim several goods. The Holy Mother has some things to mutually request!”
”One billion gold?” Wu Siyou grunted.
Seeing the two girls had yet to leave, Wu Siyou wrinkled her brow: ”Is there something else?”
The women somewhat embarrassingly placed a porcelain bottle on the table.
”We hear Madam has a Yin deficiency from intercourse. This bottle of 'Fine Lady's Meridian Supplement Pills'3 is something Madam Holy Mother personally sent over to demonstrate sincerity so that Madam can restore her health.” The two girls vaguely said.
Yin deficiency from intercourse??
By the time Wu Siyou's shock passed and she came back to her sensed, the other party had already left.
”Does this man believe Your Servant does not dare kill him!” Wu Siyou's silvery teeth tightly bit together. Unexpectedly, even Yin deficiency from sex had emerged.
The Gongsun Huan to the side was seemingly expressionless, but her eyes had a slightly different meaning.
…
Crying Star Twin-tailed Scorpion Xie Chan's thin golden needles flew, like a drizzle of ox hair, disappearing into the air and reappearing.
In an instant, a golden light abruptly tore over.
Let alone that Xie Chan was a small girl, her body techniques were very unusual, dodging away in the blink of an eye.
”Cultivator, what are you doing interrupting me?” Xie Chan puffed up her cheeks very unhappily.
”Many thanks to Young Lord for saving me.” The panicking and doubting girl said in gratitude. He saw she wore a short corset, and golden light suddenly glinted through it. Her expression was weak, and her forehead had turned purple. Astonishingly, she had been poisoned.
Su Xing did not take notice of her. Immediately, he launched an attack against Xie Chan, seizing this chance to take this Twin-tailed Scorpion's Gu Poison cure for Gongsun Huang in a burst of energy. Twelve Heaven Tearing Swords promptly attacked. A dragon's cry boomed, chomping at the bit.
The Twin-tailed Scorpion Xie Chan did not expect this cultivator would surprisingly fight without uttering a word. Seeing that imposing and fierce flying sword, her face turned white. Xie Chan spread her arms, and her Life-cast Star Weapon Golden Scorpion Fine Rain Needles linked together, becoming a scorpion.
Ordinary artifacts simply were incapable of stopping the Heaven Tearing Sword's devastation, but the Twin-tailed Scorpion Xie Chan's Destined Star Weapon was unknown grades higher than Ninth Stage. The fine needles flashed three stars, so it was surprisingly a Three Star Star Weapon.
