Chapter 463: Guan Ying Elopes (1/2)
A decorated boat floated on the river with a swaying lantern.
On the sea outside of Devil Star City, a remote and fragrant pleasure boat floated on the ocean. The maids on the boat were like clouds, their hands holding swords, their clothes fluttering about. Standing against the wind, they made all cultivators who looked turn dumbstruck, however, not one of these Devil Cults or Devil Sects dared to be impudent. The boat had a banner upon which was written the two words “Great Circle.”
A cultivator with only even the slightest amount of experience knew who the master of this boat was – the master of the Great Circle Castle, Noble Star Little Whirlwind Chai Jin.
The Star General who inherited nine generations of Noble Star wealth and power possessed influence and riches that Liangshan Continent’s sects would all drool over.
However, the Great Circle Castle was hidden in a secret place. Up until now, no one was able to guess just how many cultivators stood watch over it.
“Chai Ling, just how many cultivators does the Great Circle Castle have?”
Inside the boat, there were beautiful decorations, scarlet rugs, furniture of every kind, allmade from superior mahogany, sandalwood, and eaglewood. There was the faint and pleasant smell of wood permeating the entire boat. The four walls hung several ink paintings of landscapes,with grandeur and majesty, with elegance and brilliance. The image stood out on the paper, and a glance showed each of these originated from the hand of a renowned artist, their values priceless.
Jinzhi and Yuye stood nearby. They steeped Cloud and Mountain White Robe, Creek Well Dragon Eye, and Phoenix Firmiana Bay Leaf teas, three of Liangshan’s Supreme Grade tea leaves. Each leaf was worth a thousand gold.
The entire interior of the boat was full of the teas’ fragrance.
Su Xing sighed that the wealth of Chai Ling’s Great Circle Castle could reach Heaven, and he was unable to help but be curious how great the influence of the Great Circle Castle was.
“Other than the state of the Great Circle Castle, This Palace does not know.”
“Elder Sister does not know?” The Hu Niangzi sitting nearby was skeptical.
“The Great Circle Castle has one hundred and eight leaders under its banner. This Palace has no interest at all and does not pay attention.”1 Chai Ling lay atop her sofa, charmingly rolling out her arm. The curves of those smooth and round peaks were highlighted under her milk-white bodice. The Three-eyed Wealth Inviting Beast mewed atop her bosom.
This generation’s Noble Star Chai Ling had a lack of interest in managing operations. She treated wealth as nothing more than a number. To Little Whirlwind Chai Ling, this was honestly very tedious, thus she did not exhaust energy wishing to participate in the Star Duel.
To become the first Noble Star to scale Maiden Mountain was interesting enough.
The queen gave Su Xing a lovely glance: “Why would you care about This Palace’s influence?”
“I’m very curious as to how it’s lasted for a thousand years.” Su Xing smiled.
“Xing’er’s question makes This Palace feel very curious.” CHai Ling gently fanned her Golden Thread Feather Fan.
Her snow-white legs poked out from within her skirt. That was enticing.
Su Xing recalled Hu Niangzi’s jade legs from last night. His heart somewhat stirred, and he continuously drank a mouthful of the Cloud and Mountain White Robe to calm his mood.
This Cloud and Mountain White Robe had a mind-calming and a qi-nurturing effect. As far as cultivators were concerned, this was a great supplement.
Chai Ling’s fan covered her red lips: “Last night, Xing’er certainly was truly romantic.”
“Cough, do you like to eavesdrop?” Su Xing was speechless.
“A coincidence.” Last night, Chai Ling heard Su Xing’s song and felt very refreshed and specially want to listen to more, but when she walked to his door, she contrarily heard the mellow intercourse of a man and woman. At that time, Chai Ling was thoroughly red and embarrassed. What a pity Su Xing did not see her spiteful appearance.
“This Palace wonders how many of the Sisters have given their virginities to Su Xing?” Chai Ling stroked the cat in her bosom. Her words made Jinzhi and Yuye unable to help but stare at Su Xing in shock.
Su Xing dryly laughed, only sipped his tea.
Chai Ling’s charming gaze carried a smile, as if she was saying “you honestly were pretending to be pure to This Palace’s face.”
Suddenly, the boat gently rocked a moment later.
Su Xing set down his cup. Even if he did not see, he could sense that someone had boarded, and this person’s leg strength was powerful, for a light step to rock the boat.
A beautiful figure whose whole body was obscured with a cloak walked into the boat. Taking off her cloak, she was a dignified and mighty woman. Her stature was tall, and she brimmed with power.
She was Brave Star Great Blade Guan Sheng.
Upon seeing Guan Sheng, the hatred in Hu Niangzi’s eyes was full. Her hands clenched tightly, nearly pouncing. Su Xing tenderly held her hand. When Hu Niangzi saw her Dear Husband’s concern, she kept silent, her anger calming enormously.
Guan Ying glanced at Hu Niangzi. She naturally had full view of her anger. The Brave Star was silent, and then she glanced at Su Xing, particularly at their holding hands. Then, she walked over and sat down on a mahogany chair.
“Elder Sister Guan Ying, are you well?” Chai Ling lifted herself from laying on the sofa.
“The previous matter at Evil Smiting Hall…”
“Insignificant. This is very common in the Star Duels. Who let Guan Ying also have her owncontractor.” Chai Ling was actually very open-minded.
Guan Ying was silent.
This time, Guan Ying had come alone, with Great Saint Starkiller nowhere in sight.
“You haven’t recovered yet?” Su Xing saw Guan Ying show slight fatigue.
It was no wonder. Although the Huaqing Pool could extremely accelerate recovery, fighting two battle consecutively in such a short time, Guan Ying’s recovery was difficult.
“That is not important. Can this Devil Star truly be broken?” Guan Ying cared about this. Ever since she learned from Su Xing that the power of the Crimson Star fell outside of the killer when the Nine Nether Devil Star Stone Weapon killed a Sister, that a different kind of power did not fall into Maiden Mountain and instead became a Devil Star, Guan Ying now felt disgust when saw her divine weapon that had once shook the world.
The Brave Star already was impatient to get rid of the Devil Star.
“It can. The Black Turtle Territory’s Endless Depths has an island named Nine Hells. That place can dispel the Devil Star.” Chai Ling answered.
“Endless Depths, Nine Hells?” Guan Ying nodded.
The Endless Depths was the Black Turtle Territory’s most terrifying sea area. It passed through the Nine Dragons Sea, and the Nine Hells was an even more dangerous place in the Endless Depths. THat place purportedly had a bottomless trench. Legend said that this lead directly into a Yin World known as Nine Hells. Although it was not too likely it actually led to the Yin World, it was possible for the Nine Nether Devil Star Stone to be removed at the Nine Hells.
“Guan Ying, have you considered this carefully?” Chai Ling asked. “Before completely recovering from inside the Star Nest, to go now to a place as dangerous as the Nine Hells, a Starfall is possible.” The queen warned her.
