242 The Great Lord Shenmu (1/2)
Yi Ping thought to himself, ”No, this Dark Goddess Xia Hsien looks like a smart person. She won't be so foolish and reckless to provoke the Great Lord Xuan Yuan. But I have no desire to witness whatever plans they have in mind. It may be a result that I don't want to witness…”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan had already put his hand on his sword hilt when Yi Ping suddenly stepped forward to say respectfully, ”Great Lord Xuan Yuan, we have met again. We are all here to attend your happy occasion. Moreover…”
He turned to look at the Alluring Goddess Theresa, the Heaven Goddess Zero and the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien before saying firmly, ”Moreover, they are here for me. If there is anyone to blame then let it be me.”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero had a startled expression as they looked curiously at Yi Ping…
The Alluring Goddess Theresa smiled coldly, ”He is nuts. He has no backers and yet he tries to be a hero.”
Her words may be almost inaudible but to the experts here, it was all too clear!
All of a sudden the Great Lord Xuan Yuan laughed and his laughter was so explosive that the entire grand hall seemed to be shaking!
Yi Ping thought in alarm, ”His internal strength is indeed profound!”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan said haughtily, ”The Oracle Citadel and the Firmament Citadel have long been at odds. I am not surprise that they will come to blows. But I repeat again, this is not the place for you to mess around. But on account of the Great Lord Yi Ping here, I am inclined to be generous today and let this matter pass.”
Yi Ping quickly bowed respectfully with his hands, ”Thank you for your generosity!”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan commanded to his aides that were next to him, ”Summon the Great Goddess Aeris now for the grand ceremony now!”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien said coolly, ”We are not here to attend your unison ceremony.”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan said coldly, ”Then why are you here? You are here to fight me or you are here to be my consort?”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien smiled coldly as she pointed at Yi Ping, ”I want him to come with us. That is my only business here!”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan smiled coldly, ”I am afraid that is not going to be an easy matter. Do you want to know why?”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien asked wryly, ”Why indeed. What if he is willing to go with us?”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan smiled, ”I have invited him here for a good reason and he won't dare to leave with anyone. Moreover, I have the intention to reward the Great Goddess Aeris to my new friend here, the Great Lord Yi Ping!”
At his proclamation, everyone was startled and began to murmur among themselves!
The most shocked one was naturally Yi Ping who quickly replied, ”This won't do!”
At the same time, he was asking himself. ”How did the Goddess Lessica know of this in advance?”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien was startled as she took a quick glance at her sister, the Heaven Goddess Zero…
Even the Alluring Goddess Theresa was startled but she quickly composed herself to say, ”Now, this is interesting indeed! Now it seems that I can't invite him to my Oracle Citadel now.”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan smiled coldly, ”If the World Ruler Fu Xi can promise him anyone he desires, so can I or else it will appear that I am less generous than him.”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien laughed softly as she slipped off her black robe to reveal a red dress, ”This won't do at all. That is because my brother the World Ruler Fu Xi has already decided to make me a consort of the Great Lord Yi Ping!”
Everyone in the grand hall was stunned as they looked at the Great Lord Xuan Yuan, Yi Ping, the Great Lord Shenmu, the Alluring Goddess Theresa, the Heaven Goddess Zero and the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien…
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan raised his eyebrows. He was obviously surprised.
The Great Lord Shenmu quickly said to the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien, ”This is not real, am I right?”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien smiled coldly as she extended her arms, ”Do you seriously think I will make a joke like this?”
At the same time the Heaven Goddess Zero had also slipped off her robe to reveal a red dress as she smiled wryly, ”My brother the World Ruler Fu Xi has also decreed me as a consort to the Great Lord Yi Ping.”
Yi Ping was secretly thinking, ”To think that they have even used this trick just to get me…”
He had spent several years in the intrigues of the Martial Fraternity against the most brilliant exponents. He had learnt one thing; there was really no free lunch in this world!
At this moment the Goddess Aeris dressed in red finery had just entered the grand hall, accompanied by a dozen hand maidens. She was startled to see that the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero were also dressed in a red ceremony dress!
And behind her was the Goddess Lessica!
At her sight, he was secretly pleased to see her again.
But he was soon distracted by the cold and envious look that had flared in the Goddess Aeris as she stared at the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero…
It was subtle but it was not lost to Yi Ping when he compared it to the compassionate eyes of the Goddess Lessica.
He thought, ”Why is that her eyes are so malevolent now? It is exactly as when I have first met her…”
But he did not have the time to ponder further for the Great Lord Xuan Yuan was asking him coldly now, ”So what do you think? Think carefully. Your choice may decide your fate.”
Yi Ping smiled weakly as he looked at the Goddess Aeris, the Goddess Lessica, the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero…
The Alluring Goddess Theresa hummed softly with an alluring smile, ”This is really interesting. No matter who he chooses, he will surely end up offending the others. Not making a choice is the worst choice. Unless he is an idiot, he will not make any choice.”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly when he had overheard the Alluring Goddess Theresa.
The Alluring Goddess Theresa continued wistfully, ”This is the domain of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan. If I were him, the choice is obvious.”

Yi Ping took a quick glance at the Alluring Goddess Theresa as he thought curiously, ”She appears to be sarcastic but why is that I have a feeling that she is secretly hinting me of something?”
It was because she seemed to be emphasizing to him of the same consequences three times over. Naturally to the others, she appeared to be aiding the Great Lord Xuan Yuan but to Yi Ping, it appeared that she seemed to be giving him a subtle hint.
He had noticed that she was looking at the direction of the Goddess Aeris!
Or was it at the Goddess Lessica that was behind her?
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan said coldly as he addressed Yi Ping, ”My friend, so what do you think of my generosity?”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien smiled mysteriously as she looked at her sister, the Heaven Goddess Zero while lifting her eyes to look directly at Yi Ping. ”We are already in our ceremony dresses. Do you have the heart to turn us down?”
The Great Lord Shenmu quickly interrupted, ”That is enough already. If you know what is good for you then quickly retract what you have said and we will regard it as a good joke.”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien hummed coldly at him, ”So what if I don't?”
The Great Lord Shenmu was speechless as he blinked at the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien, ”You…”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien said coldly, ”I am what? I can't hear you properly at all!”
Yi Ping brushed against his sleeves as he raised his hands together as he heaved a soft sigh, ”Everyone, pardon me for any disrespect in advance.”
Time seemed to have frozen in place as everyone looked at Yi Ping; it was because they knew that he was going to say something soon!
Between the Goddess Aeris, the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero, who would he choose?
Yi Ping looked at the Great Lord Xuan Yuan as he pointed in the direction of the Goddess Lessica, ”The Goddess Lessica, I want her to be my consort.”
The Goddess Aeris was flabbergasted as she turned around to stare at the Goddess Lessica and so did all the other maidens that were around her!
Even the Great Lord Xuan Yuan and Great Lord Shenmu had raised their eyebrows, obviously quite surprised at the choice. Yi Ping would actually pick a lowly goddess as his consort?
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero were ashen as they stared blankly at Yi Ping. It came to a shock to them as they were expecting him to pick them over the Goddess Aeris, after all having two Ninth Positioning Immortals were way better than a single Seventh Positioning Immortal!
The Alluring Goddess Theresa was smiling as she said softly, ”Is that so? So this is the result. What a pleasant surprise!”
Yi Ping raised his voice again, ”Great Lord Xuan Yuan, I have made my choice. What do you think?”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan nodded as he smiled broadly, ”So be it then. I will grant the Goddess Lessica to you.”
He commanded the Goddess Lessica, ”Why are you still standing there for? He is now your new master. Go with him!”
The Goddess Lessica quickly bowed hastily as she said quietly before walking next to Yi Ping, ”Yes sire.”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan turned to stare malevolently at the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero, ”It seems that the World Ruler Fu Xi is going to be disappointed. It seems that the two of you are equally disappointed. My friend here it seems has decided to thrown in his lot with me. As I am in a good mood today so I won't pursue today's matter but…”
He paused briefly before he continued coldly to the Dark Goddess Xia Hsien and the Heaven Goddess Zero, ”But only for this once. Now leave!”
The Dark Goddess Xia Hsien heaved a soft sigh, ”I have rejected countless patrons and to think that finally I have an opportunity to pursue my only interest, I will be rejected.”
The Heaven Goddess Zero was blinking her eyes rapidly as she muttered, ”Hmph! I still do not believe what I am hearing!…”
