241 The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien (2/2)
The Great Lord Shenmu groaned, ”The Firmament Citadel has never ever sent any representatives to the Verdant Palace. I am just so surprised.”
The Heaven Goddess Zero hummed coldly, ”Things may change. After all, if we did not come today then we may never know what you are calling us behind our back!”
The Great Lord Shenmu smiled weakly as he said, ”Please be seated then!”
When he had pointed to a corner, a lingering fragrance had entered the great hall and said sweetly, ”Hey. Look who here? It is the two bitches from the Firmament Citadel!”
Everyone in the grand hall, including Yi Ping and the Great Lord Shenmu were startled by the sweet voice.
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero were equally startled as they turned around just in time to witness the Alluring Goddess Theresa walking into the grand hall!
The crowd was even more startled to see the Alluring Goddess Theresa than the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero!
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien hummed coldly, ”I have thought who is here. So it is the Queen of the Bitches that is here!”
The Alluring Goddess Theresa laughed alluringly, ”Ye, ye! Your queen is here now. Hurry and bow before me!”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien laughed jovially, ”Are you so shameless? If I really bow to you then I will have to address you as that title.”
The Heaven Goddess Zero smiled, ”Then it will be such a great loss of face for you!”
The Alluring Goddess Theresa smiled faintly, ”If you dare, I don't mind. After all, I have two little bitches here for company.”
The Great Lord Shenmu interrupted politely, ”I don't know that the Alluring Goddess Theresa will be here today or else I will surely give you a grand welcome.”
The Alluring Goddess Theresa smiled sweetly, ”Alas, I have never liked to attend this type of occasion. But…”
She shot a glance at the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero as she said coldly, ”If they can be here for the first time then why can't I come as well?”
The Great Lord Shenmu was render almost speechless as he muttered, ”Yes, yes. Come, come…”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien said all of a sudden, ”Since the Alluring Goddess Theresa is here to attend the unison ceremony then we shall not impose ourselves anymore…”
The Great Lord Shenmu panicky said, ”It is alright. You…can stay…not imposing at all…”
Yi Ping smiled weakly. It was because it was only too obvious to him that the Great Lord Shenmu wanted the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien to stay as long as possible.
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien pointed at Yi Ping all of a sudden, ”Why are you smiling like this? How dare you take liberties with us yesterday and now this!”
She turned to look at the Great Lord Shenmu, ”Everyone knows what had happened in the street yesterday and now you have witnessed his outrageous smile. Great Lord Shenmu, if you still value the close ties between the Verdant Palace and the Firmament Citadel then surrender him to us!”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly to himself. Even he could see plainly that they were here for him and that attending the unison ceremony was just their lame excuse…
The Heaven Goddess Zero smiled as she looked intently at Yi Ping, ”Do you dare to come with us? We promise that we won't eat you up.”
She added quickly as she looked at the Great Lord Shenmu and the Alluring Goddess Theresa as she whispered, ”It will be more dangerous if you are in their company.”
The Alluring Goddess Theresa said coldly, ”We are not deaf, you know. Fancy you slandering us right in front of us.”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien said firmly, ”I am not asking you. I am asking him!”
The Great Lord Shenmu said with equal firmness, ”He is a guest of the Verdant Palace. You can't take him away just like this!”
The Heaven Goddess Zero interrupted, ”But he don't look like a guest. More like a captive of the Verdant Palace, am I right?”
The Alluring Goddess Theresa smiled faintly as she looked at the Great Lord Shenmu, ”What a tricky question. Only idiots will answer that…”
But the Great Lord Shenmu had already answered, ”Of course not!…”
The Heaven Goddess Zero laughed softly, ”Good! Since he is a guest and not a captive of the Verdant Palace then he is free to leave as he wishes. You have heard the Great Lord Shenmu!”
The Great Lord Shenmu was startled as he quickly protested, ”No, that is not what I mean…”
The Heaven Goddess Zero immediately reached out for Yi Ping as she smirked coldly, ”Then good! I am taking him away now!”
But before Yi Ping could move away from her, the Alluring Goddess Theresa had intercepted the Heaven Goddess Zero with a quick hand attack as she laughed along. ”Wait a minute! I am taking him away as well!”
The Heaven Goddess Zero retaliated with several quick fists as she said coldly, ”I beg your pardon again! We have claimed him first!”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien had also joined in the fight as she raised her fists against the Alluring Goddess Theresa, ”You claim to be the number one fighter so two of us versus you isn't so shameful, isn't it?”
In the next instant, dozens of shadow fists were flurried in all directions as the three maidens began to fight in earnest!
Yi Ping quickly exclaimed aloud, ”Wait! Stop it! Great Lord Shenmu, you are not stopping them?”
The Great Lord Shenmu smiled weakly, ”I only know how to fight and I don't know how to stop them…”
Yi Ping was exasperated as he quickly dashed into their midst as he displayed the Asper Continuum, immediately displaying dozens of shadowy palms around him!
The three maidens quickly increased the pace of their attacks and they were all fighting Yi Ping at the same time now!
The Alluring Goddess Theresa smiled, ”Hero, don't think that because I want you, I will be inclined to show mercy. That won't be the case. That is because…”
All of a sudden there were five brilliant white lights as she switched her palm to a claw attack, imploding thunderously and dispersing Yi Ping's Asper Continuum!
Yi Ping was secretly startled, ”She can break my strokes in such a short time?”
No sooner was Yi Ping caught off guarded, the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero had struck him on his chest at the same time with a thunderous impact, sending him to fly backward!
The Heaven Goddess Zero giggled softly at the same time she had struck Yi Ping, ”Oh sorry! I can't resist taking some advantage! Is it painful?”
As Yi Ping got up, he could feel his chest trembling with pain!
It seemed that the blows that he had received were tremendous indeed. It was a lucky thing that he had attained the Ninth Positioning Rank or else the blows that he had just received would surely have damaged his golden body!
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien gave him an eye candy as she smiled, ”Sister, he is not so tough after all. I have thought that he is really good!”
The Heaven Goddess Zero smiled as she looked coldly at everyone in the grand hall, ”That is because I have underestimated him earlier but it seems that he is really nothing special at all!”
The Alluring Goddess Theresa laughed, ”Oh well! Since he is nothing special at all, why don't you give him to me instead?”
She winked at Yi Ping, ”You didn't think that you alone can handle the three of us?”
Yi Ping smiled weakly as he quickly said, ”Not at all. I wouldn't dare!”
He thought to himself, ”At least I have stopped them from fighting temporary. But the three of them together are really formidable. I can't find a loophole in their moves at all…”
The Alluring Goddess Theresa turned to look maliciously at the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero as she smiled, ”Alas! It seems that we can't play a little longer. It seems that the host is finally here!”
Indeed barely had she said that, the Great Lord Xuan Yuan had walked into the grand hall. He was garbed in red and scarlet finery. He appeared none the pleased as he stared coldly at the Alluring Goddess Theresa, the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero!
The entire grand hall fell into deep disquiet as hundreds of Desolate Immortals quickly greeted the Great Lord Xuan Yuan!
The Great Lord Shenmu smiled uneasily as he said, ”My lord, it is my fault that I can't stop them from creating an unrest.”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan touched the hilt of his sword as he said slowly and coldly, ”This is my domain. If anyone thinks that they can create a din in my domain then I shall not be polite. If you want to beat the dog then you have to see who the master is…”
The malevolent air that was in the grand hall was suddenly eerie and even Yi Ping could feel a great sense of uneasiness. It was as though the Great Lord Xuan Yuan would explode in anger at any time. He was beginning to fear for the Alluring Goddess Theresa, the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero!
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan continued to say coldly, ”No matter whom you think you are…”
”So who is the dog and who is the master?” The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien asked all of a sudden. Her eyes and smiles were full of innocent and she was altogether earnest!
Yi Ping and everyone in the grand hall were shocked by her direct defiant!
Yi Ping secretly began to admire this Dark Goddess Xia Hsien even as he feared for her as he thought, ”She really have guts. No wonder the Great Lord Shenmu admires her so much. Even I am impressed by her…”
All of a sudden the floor beneath the Great Lord Xuan Yuan began to crackle as the malevolent air of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan began to increase rapidly!
The Alluring Goddess Theresa smiled sweetly as she played with her fingers, ”It seems that that the Great Lord Xuan Yuan is really angry, very angry. Soon we have two unfortunate souls here!”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien giggled softly, ”We shall see indeed!”
The Heaven Goddess Zero laughed softly, ”Indeed!”
Yi Ping was perplexed as he thought, ”Don't they know that they are in a dire straits now? With just the two of them, they are not the match of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan! And moreover, they can't possibly fight so many Desolate Immortals at the same time!”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan said coldly as the entire hall seemingly grown very dark, ”Indeed!”
