Chapter 1743 - Admit Defeat (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duchess Nightmare was one of the three supreme dukes of District A, so her appearance immediately shocked all the nobles. But what horrified them even more was the figure beside her.

It was a graceful figure who stood on a chariot. It had always been difficult for chariots and beautiful girls to fit together, for the combination would look odd as girls were usually soft, and chariots normally represented murder.

However, this girl fitted perfectly with her chariot. She was beautiful, soft, almost frail, but for some reason, she looked almost as one with the chariot.

She was the third Cursed Goddess from the Primitive Universe, Houtu!

All the nobles gasped as they looked incredulously at them with wide eyes. They could not believe that a little restaurant would cause such a major storm. The three Cursed Goddesses had shown up at the same time!

“Good heavens! Her Excellency Soul, Her Excellency Nethery, and Her Excellency Houtu are all here!”

Many people could not believe what they saw. They had imagined that the three Cursed Goddesses would confront one another in person, but they did not expect it to come so quickly. Moreover, It seemed that the other two goddesses had joined hands to fight Soul. This was so exciting!

Duchess Tianlian glanced at Duchess Nightmare. Both of them were dukes, and they both knew very well that they could not beat each other. So, after exchanging a glance, Duchess Tianlian stopped attacking. There was no need for her to do anything now.

Soul narrowed her eyes. She, too, could not beat Duchess Nightmare, who was one of the top three dukes of District A.

“Tianlian, did you lure Yunlan away just to kill a Cursed Goddess? Have you forgotten our mission?” Duchess Nightmare said, frowning, as she stared at Duchess Tianlian. Her body was a mass of black smoke that churned like a nightmare.

Duchess Tianlian sighed.

Houtu, standing on her chariot, cast her gaze at Soul. The gazes of the two Cursed Goddesses collided in midair.

Bu Fang glanced at Houtu. ‘So she is the Cursed Goddess from the Primitive Universe?’

Strictly speaking, he could be considered as someone from the Primitive Universe as well. He had certainly heard of the name, Houtu, for it was a very famous name in myths. However, he never thought that this legendary figure was a Cursed Goddess. Of course, there might be some connection between them, but he would not know.

Duchess Nightmare was not here to help him fight Duchess Tianlian, Bu Fang knew. She came here to stop them from fighting each other. He thought this would be the end of the battle, and everyone would leave in peace. This would be the most likely outcome.

But Soul might insist on fighting. That was also very likely to happen. In any case, Bu Fang did not take out the Chaos Pot of Creation. Even he had no idea about that thing’s power, so it would be best to not use it.

“You finally showed up… Cursed Goddess Houtu.” Looking at the girl on the chariot, Soul slowly exhaled. This was their first meeting, and it came as a surprise. The latter’s calmness was beyond her expectation.

Houtu had a graceful and noble aura, and she seemed as if she did not care about anything. She just glanced at Soul and did not say a word.

The Cavalry of Death regrouped behind Soul, their aura fluctuating. Marquis Lang Gu had turned back to his human form. He rolled and jumped to his feet. As a marquis, he was not qualified to meddle in the clash of dukes, so he had nothing to do now.

But it might be that he still had to fight later. If Duchess Tianlian engaged Duchess Nightmare in a battle, and the rest fought each other again… He would have trouble to deal with again. And it seemed to him that Soul was inclined to do just that.

Suddenly, the void rumbled and cracked, and then a voluptuous figure stepped out of it, walking slowly toward the crowd. She was a noblewoman with a mighty aura. The moment she appeared, all the nobles gasped.

Duchess Yunlan had shown up as well! The three Cursed Goddesses and the three dukes had shown up at the same time in front of the restaurant! The battle had catapulted the restaurant under the limelight and shocked Void City!

Duchess Yunlan’s expression was ugly as if she was holding back a surge of anger.

When Duchess Tianlian saw Duchess Yunlan, her expression flickered. She knew that it was no longer possible for her to kill Nethery today. ‘What a pity… This is such a good chance,’ she thought to herself.

Duchess Yunlan glanced coldly at Soul and said, “A person with a devious mind like you is not qualified to inherit the throne of Void City!” She shook her head in disappointment.

Soul kept her composure, but her face grew colder. All her plans and scheming failed at this moment. It never occurred to her that the chef could stop her Cavalry of Death. The twin brothers, Pi Dong and Pi Xi, could fight a marquis when they joined forces, yet they had failed to defeat the chef. On top of that, Marquis Lang Gu had betrayed her.

All these had irritated her. She gave Nethery a deep look, glared at Bu Fang, then turned to leave with her cavalry. The iron hooves clattered noisily as the soldiers gathered around her, and she slowly disappeared. She was the one who lost in this fight, but she held her head up proudly like a victor.

The nobles sucked in cold breaths. “Her Excellency Soul retreated… She admitted defeat!”

They could not believe it. What did that mean? It meant the competition between the Cursed Goddesses had entered a white-hot stage, and the restaurant survived. Just like that, the first restaurant of Void City in District A had opened its doors right under the Queen’s noses.

Duchess Tianlian nodded at Yunlan and Nightmare before flying away. At this point, Soul’s supporters had all retreated.
