Chapter 58: Mysterious Suction (1/2)
Translator: Soldier
If he was to hold on to a woman like her, he had to capture her heart first.
But before that, he had to find a way to break the apathy in her...
At this moment.
He tightened his arm around Yun Wu's waist and raised her chin with the other hand. Lowering his head, he pressed his sexy, thin lips towards Yun Wu's red ones.
However, when their lips were about to meet, Yun Wu reached out her hand and blocked the path of his lips.
”You haven't finished the job yet. Wouldn't I be taken advantage of if I let you claim the reward in advance?” looking at him with a smile, Yun Wu said in a low voice.
”You'll be mine in the future anyway, so this doesn't count as taking advantage of you. A small part of the reward in advance will be a great motivation for me,” Long Qingxie said in a constricted and serious voice, yet the corner of his lips curved into a meaningful smile.
Yun Wu raised her eyebrows with a half smile on her face, ”Are you saying that you won't take this task seriously if I don't give you part of the reward in advance?”
Long Qingxie moved close to her and answered in a wicked, deep voice, ”Of course. I'm a profiteering merchant.”
At this moment, a yell of anger was heard.
The two people, who were fighting at close quarters, were evenly matched, so it was natural that they started playing dirty tricks.
There was a bloody cut on Sky Murong's arm, and he was extremely angry, ”Ouyang Qing, you literally stooped to shooting hidden weapons from behind. Don't you feel ashamed?”
”You're no better than me. Compared with you Sky Murong, I'm a far less despicable man,” there was also a bloody cut on Ouyang Qing's shoulder.
”Humph! Then today let's settle the scores between us, both new and old ones!”
”I can't wait.”
In the twinkling of an eye, the two figures shot at each other and started fighting again. The sounds of the fierce fighting ignited an intense aura of killing and violent undulations of Tier IX warriors' power rippled outwards. The Qi was so potent that even those magic beasts around were pushed backwards by the after-effects.
Yun Wu was still hiding in the tree, and suddenly her heart seemed to have left her chest to pound in her throat.
Because, she noticed that the Vigor Grass on the rock was about to be broken by the power undulations.
Once picked or broken, Vigor Grasses would soon lose its medicinal effects and wither, so Vigor Grasses must be used on site.
When the two sides were in a chaotic fight, a slim, purple figure with black hair and divine beauty leaped downwards straight onto that rock.
However, she didn't even glance at those fighting around her. Instead, she crouched down and started cautiously digging that Vigor Grass along with the rock.
Seeing what she was doing, everybody around her instantly stopped fighting.
”You... It's you!” Snow Murong abruptly frowned on the sight of Yun Wu.
'She's that mysterious teenage girl that I met on the periphery that night!'
”Snow, you know her?” Sky Murong glanced in the direction of Yun Wu with a frown, startled secretly.
'When did this teenage girl come? Did she just arrive or has she been hiding nearby for a long time?' he thought. Surprisingly, he hadn't noticed her existence at all.
Ouyang Qing also slightly squinted, peering at her secretly. Even he hadn't sensed her Qi. Who was she exactly?
But when Ouyang Ke saw Yun Wu's beauty, a flicker of astonishment flashed across the bottom of his eyes.
”I don't know her. I just met her on the periphery the other day when I passed by,” Snow Murong replied to Sky Murong, but her eyes were fixed on Yun Wu all along.
'Did she use some kind of smokescreen that night?'
'Otherwise, how come she disappeared at a speed that quick? She's just a teenage girl fifteen or sixteen years old.'
Yun Wu was not really interested in their peering and speculations. She cautiously extracted that Vigor Grass with a dagger.
And then she planned to took a small basin out of her Storage Space and put the plant in. And then the job would be done.
But at this moment!
”Little girl, that Vigor Grass belongs to Murong family, so please return that Vigor Grass to us,” Sky Murong said coldly.
No matter how mysterious this teenage girl was, people of the Murong family were determined to get this Vigor Grass.
”There's no Murong family's name on this Vigor Grass, and yet you said that it's yours! Aren't you bullying this girl?” surprisingly, it was Ouyang Ke who spoke.
The moment his words broke off, he nodded at Yun Wu in a polite and elegant manner, as if he was greeting her.
Seeing his behavior, Snow Murong snorted coldly.
But an aggressive look suddenly appeared in Sky Murong's eyes and he coldly glanced in the direction of Ouyang Ke, ”You junior, you're in no place to speak.”
”Even so, you're in no place to lecture him!” a grim smile appeared on Ouyang Qing's mild face.
Sky Murong's face darkened.
Ouyang Qing turned to Yun Wu and said mildly, ”Little girl, that Vigor Grass is really very important to me. I need it to save someone's life. Would you please sacrifice it to me? I'm Ouyang Qing from the Ouyang family in Water City. As long as you give that Vigor Grass to me, I'll owe you a favor. What do you say?”
He was refined, elegant and polite. Compared with Sky Murong's words, Ouyang Qing's remarks were much more pleasant.
But this Ouyang Qing was obviously a two-faced person, and beneath his mild and refined exterior, he was very dangerous.
Sky Murong was no better than him. A righteous man as seemed, judging by his previous behavior, he was probably a sly and devious man.
Yun Wu curved up the corner of her lips. Gave it to him? Was that even possible?
With an instant shift of her attention, a jade bowl about the size of a palm appeared in her hand.
