Chapter 738: Yet She Sniffs The Plum Blossoms (2/2)

Chao Wuhui was taken aback. A man had appeared in front of her at some point in time. He wore a vile and narrow smile, a fake smile as he looked her up and down.

This damned Su Xing.

Chao Wuhui extended her hand. A golden lotus flower blossomed that then shot a ray of golden light to gouge out Su Xing’s dog eyes. Su Xing pushed, easily breaking it with Purple Cloud East Approaches. By the time the lotus flower dissipated, Chao Wuhui had already donned her armor, a grim expression on her face. The girly sentiments from before seemed to be an illusion.

“What a pity, what a pity.” Su Xing clicked his tongue. “Your appearance before was certainly much more beautiful.”

“Hmph, This One did not come to seek you out, but you have surprisingly come to seek This One out.” Chao Wuhui loftily said.

“I have come to confer unto you a calamity.” Su Xing said.

Chao Wuhui was taken aback and immediately replied: “You have already pried into This One’s strength, and This One does not have any calamity to confer you.”

Su Xing mockingly said: “Don’t be like that, Chao Wuhui, I saw that you were too focused, so I didn’t bother you.”

“You mentioned ‘Rouge Lips’ just now, how do you know of it?” Chao Wuhui wrinkled her brow.

“Why wouldn’t I know? Isn’t it one of Li Qingzhao’s?” Su Xing curiously said.

“How do you know of the Heavenly Green Star?”3 Chao Wuhui said in astonishment.

“Heavenly Green Star??” Su Xing did not feel like guessing. At any rate, she must be another Star Name inherited in Star World. That Li Qingzhao had a Star Name as well was quite unexpected. “Wait until I ascend to Star World, then you’ll realize that I know a lot.”

Chao Wuhui showed a vigilant expression.

“Enough of this for now. I sought you out this time not to peek…” Su Xing was serious.

“What is your business? The Seven Stars Assembly has already begun. You ought to know the current situation of the Star Duels.” Chao Wuhui said: “With your strength, it was inevitable that the others would unite to face you.”

“They aren’t my target.” Su Xing shook his head.

These words sounded to Chao Wuhui as if he was saying they were not his opponents. “The Star Masters that were able to last until now have exceptional strength. Do you really believe you can ignore them?” Chao Wuhui sternly said.

“So that’s why I came to find you. My dear Wuhui, don’t misunderstand.”4 Su Xing chuckled.

“This One is already unable to help you.” Chao Wuhui was forthright.

“In fact, I came to you to look for another person.” Su Xing said.

“What person?”

“Brave Star Guan Ying.”

Chao Wuhui was silent for a moment. A seeming smile flit across her lips. “As it turns out, you want to grasp Transforming Star of Annihilation.”

“Just in passing at the same time.” Su Xing calmly answered.

Chao Wuhui flipped her wrist. A seven story pagoda appeared in her palm, with rippling golden light and glinting colored glass. This pagoda was Chao Wuhui’s strongest Star Weapon. Across all of Liangshan Continent, it could absorb anything in this world and proceed to refine it. Su Xing had personally witnessed her wield the Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Thousand Pagoda’s might twice. How could Chao Wuhui not realize the intentions this man harbored.

He surprisingly wanted her to absorb him into the pagoda for a breakthrough in his cultivation.

If he could actually break out of the pagoda, then Transforming Star of Annihilation would not be a problem.

“Are you actually so sure you can break out of the pagoda?” Chao Wuhui oddly asked. “This One’s Thousand Buddha Pagoda has but absorbed several great Demi Kings and the Liao Emperor’s Fierce Generals. You must have seen them already before?”

“What you say is correct.” Su Xing nodded, but entering the Thousand Buddha Pagoda was clearly his fastest option.

“Then This One shall confer unto you this calamity. Whether or not you can break out of the seven story pagoda will depend on your luck.” Chao Wuhui nodded in acknowledgment.

“Let me think for a moment.” Su Xing shouted.

Chao Wuhui laughed. “No chance now.” Saying this, she tossed the Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Thousand Buddha Pagoda. Its Buddhist light radiated, sucking Su Xing in. An enormous suction pulled him in towards the pagoda. Even with Su Xing’s current Supervoid peak cultivation, he surprisingly felt unable to resist. Once again, he felt just how formidable Chao Gai’s Realm was. But at the same time this thousand Buddhist light fired, Su Xing immediately sensed the Meditative Mind Lotus Flower in his mind stir restlessly, as if it wanted to bloom, to resist the suction of this Buddhist light.

Su Xing hesitated for a moment, gritting his teeth.

If he wanted to break free of Maiden Mountain’s restrictions after climbing the peak, then there was only one way, and that was to make himself Transforming Star of Annihilation like that Immortal Clear Void. Only by doing so did he have a chance. Otherwise, his words were nothing more than pompous bullshit. As well, entering the pagoda for a breakthrough was indeed a dangerous game. Su Xing had discerned that Chao Wuhui was helping him. If this truly did not work, then he had various backup plans, but regardless, Su Xing did not hope he and Chao Wuhui would end up this way.

If only it were so.

Thinking to this point, Su Xing no longer hesitated. He forced down the Meditative Mind Lotus Flower. Brief praise shot through Chao Wuhui’s eyes. She then chanted, and the Buddhist light erupted, sucking Su Xing into the pagoda. “You have a dozen contracts with Star Generals. This One actually is unable to trap you for too long away from the Star Duels. You must look after yourself.”

The winds calmed, and the trees became still. The lake regained its tranquility.

Chao Wuhui hooked her finger, sprinkling the green plum blossoms back into her hand. She wafted their scent, and her expression of unfettered delight read the second stanza of Rouge Lips. “She runs in socks, her golden hairpin slipping. She walks away in embarrassment, but turns around at the threshold. Yet she sniffs the plum blossoms.”
