Chapter 97 - Bet. (1/2)
”I will…!” Yizhou said with gritted teeth.
No matter what he thought, he could not find a way out of this situation, more so when everyone has heard him accepting to bet.
If he had a great backing, then it might be possible, but what backing would allow him to against the Realm King? He knew that even if Wang Lei has not completed the disciple ceremony, he was already considered as the direct disciple of Realm King.
It would not be strange for her to kill him for Wang Lei. Everyone made way for Yizhou with his head hung down, he left the field.
Wang Lei did not bother looking in his direction. He was looking at the woman standing at the roof of the palace. She was looking towards him with astonishment, which increased when he gazed at her.
She seems to be surprised that Wang Lei found her out. Wang Lei looked at this woman from head to toe without hiding his gaze. He knew who this woman was. It was Mu Bingyun, also the woman who defended him during the direct disciple ceremony.
Bingyun's displeasure showed on her face when she felt Wang Lei checking on her.
”Master!” Xiaolan said in excitement.
Bingyun, hearing her nodded. She looked towards Wang Lei and said, ”Realm King is asking for you. Since you are healed, go meet her.” She said before vanishing.
'Realm King, huh.' Wang Lei rubbed his chin in thought.
'If I remember correctly, then Realm King should be Mu Xuanyin.' Wang Lei thought.
He was really interested in her since he could feel that she had more than one entity in her. He was thinking if her soul was made of more than one soul, or was she being controlled by someone?
Wang Lei thought of meeting her and checking it himself to see the secrets of her soul.
He looked towards Xiaolan and said, ”Little lanlan, can you take me to Realm King?”
Xiaolan nodded. ”But you should not anger Realm King, junior brother.”
”Oh, why?” Wang Lei asked with interest.
Xiaolan looked towards him with a strick expression and said, ”I have heard that Realm King is a very fierce woman. She does not tolerate if someone goes against her, and would definitely punish them!”
”If you go there, you will reach Sacred Hall, Junior Brother. Normal disciples are not allowed to enter it, so I can only lead you up to here.” Xiaolan said while pointing her finger towards the Sacred Hall.
Wang Lei nodded and rubbed her head, ”Thank you, Little Lanlan. You were of great help.”
Xiaolan enjoyed his petting but then, suddenly, slapped his hand away, ”I am not Little Lanlan! Call me senior sister Xiaolan!”
Wang Lei was amused but did not reply and started to walk towards the Sacred Hall.
Xiaolan stomped her foot on the icy floor in anger. ”I hope you get beaten by Realm King!”
Wang Lei almost slipped, hearing her. Shaking his head, he kept walking in the direction of the Sacred Hall in a carefree manner.
He saw many disciples along the way, who were pointing their fingers at him and were whispering to each other, but he ignored them and kept walking.
A moment later, he reached the Sacred Hall; without any civility, he opened the door and started to take a stroll inside. He did not give a shit about asking for permission.
Normally, he should have waited outside the Sacred Hall and announced his arrival. But he was too lazy to do that. He thought of enjoying the scenery.
The whole structure was built with solid ice as clear as crystal. It was really a sight that would make one mesmerized.
Soon, he reached the center of the Sacred Hall. It was practically a world of ice.
There was a pond in the central area of this icy world that was only a bit over thirty square meters in area. The water of the pond was clear as a mirror and at its center was a snow lotus which was blooming proudly at this very moment.
This snow lotus was several times bigger than an ordinary one, and every one of its overlapped petals was the size of a palm.
It not only looked exceptionally pure, beautiful, and flawless, it was also shining with a faint, blue, and translucent light.
Its rootstalk, as well as the snow lotus itself, seemed to have been made of ice crystals formed by the condensation of purified water. They were truly dazzling to the eye.
At first glance, no one would think of it as something that had naturally grown and instead consider it an ice-crystal that had been carved in such away.
Wang Lei astonishingly looked at the icy lotus.
A surprise exclamation left his mouth, ”Buddha Heart Lotus of Nine Resurrections!”
”You know of it?”
He did not look back from where the sound came from but kept looking at the lotus and using his <Analyze> to completely understand its structure so he could make one for himself.
Nodding, Wang Lei said, ”Buddha Heart Lotus of Nine Resurrections is not only a thing that was left behind by the ancient gods, but it is also impossible for the second one of it to appear again in the world. It can be used to temper one's meridians and also helpful in future cultivation… I am surprised that one exits here. Really surprising.”
Wang Lei, after done <Analyze> the lotus, looked behind.
He saw Mu Xuanyin standing there with cold and emotionless eyes, looking at him as if to penetrate his very soul.
She had long hair that stretches all the way to her waist, and it has a special kind of icy color. It isn't pure white but a ŀustrous white that is freckled with icy crystals and gleaming with a bit of light blue. Her hair is dazzlingly beautiful beneath the sunlight.
Her beautiful face, slightly slanted crescent brows, misty eyes, and gentle light pink colored lips could bewitch the soul and contained an indescribable charm.
Her figure was alluring to the extreme. A snow colored ribbon was tied around her willow-thin waist, and the snow robes covering her ċhėst looks so round and full it is as if something would burst out of its trappings at any moment.
The buŧŧȯċks beneath her slim waist were also rounder and firmer. Her entire body was dripping with a kind of allure and charm that ate away at both bones and souls.
Wang Lei enjoyed her figure without hiding his intentions whatsoever.
Parting her cherry red lips, she said, ”Close those disgusting eyes of yours before this king pluck them out!”
Her voice was devoid of any emotions, enough to make one heart palpitate.
Wang Lei did not look away; instead, he said, ”Interesting. It really is interesting that your soul has not mutated yet as normally it should.”
Xuanyin, seeing him completely ignoring her, raised her hand. Formless energy left her body and went towards Wang Lei, but just as it was three meters away from him, is divided into two segments.
One to his left while the other to his right.
Mu Xuanyin narrowed her eyes. The energy that she released was enough to injure the Divine Origin Realm - mortally.
She did not think that Wang Lei would die, since she knew that he was a dragon – having exceptionally strong bodies – and she also observed his fight with Yizhou.
So she knew that he would not die, but she was sure that he would be injured. However, she never thought that he would – somehow – deflect or dodge it.
She looked towards Wang Lei, but her eyes widen as Wang Lei was no longer in front of her.
She felt an arm around her shoulder as a deep voice enters her ear, ”Mah~, what a sort tempered woman. You should learn to control your temper more, you know. Violence is never an answer.”
Xuanyin energy surged out like a volcano, destroying her surroundings.
But Wang Lei was no longer present there. He stood at his original position, looking at her with interest.
Xuanyin looked towards him with hostility but did not attack him. Not that she was afraid of him, but because he stood in front of the lotus and she did not want to damage it.
”Who are you?”
Wang Lei raised his brow, ”Do you not know?”
Xuanyin frowned.
Wang Lei smiled and placed his palm on his face, ”It is I, Wang Lei!”
”…”
”Ahem* You can call me Wang Lei, Lei'er, or Young Noble.” Wang Lei said.
Xuanyin quietly keeps looking at him with impassive eyes. ”Are you from Dragon Realm?” she asked.
Since she knew that Wang Lei was a dragon, she thought he was from the Dragon Realm as it is the only place where dragons live.
”Dragon Realm?” Wang Lei asked, confused.
Seeing his expression, she knew that he was not from the Dragon Realm. But it confused her. If he was not from the Dragon Realm, then was there another place where dragons live, or is he an illegitimate child of someone from the Dragon Realm?
