Chapter 480: Crisis At The Bath (1/2)
When night fell, colorful and dazzling lights illuminated the capitals, especially at Supreme Beauty. The cultivators visiting the capital were virtually all present. One could see prodigies arriving on their flying beasts.
The calling power of the prettiest woman in the world far exceeded a sect master at the Giant level. Many proud geniuses were coming to see her.
There were many floating buildings in this place with courtesans playing music - precious like water and as fine as a crafted piece of literature. This was a scene of heavens as far as the eyes can see. They teased the cultivators on the ground; all wanted to go up for a better listen.
“Wait, isn’t this our home court, why aren’t we going through the main door?” Bi Ningshuai was still wearing his green-doves uniform with the crest.
They were at the back entrance, much shabbier compared to the majestic front. This was a place for servants and slaves to come and go since it led to the back living quarters and kitchen. To put it simply, only nobodies would come through this place.
“Going to the front is too arrogant, not suitable with our current status.” Feiyun tidied his robe for some reasons and quickly walked forward.
“Knock, knock!” A while later, a middle-aged woman with an apron opened the gate. After taking a look at the two, she immediately shouted: “No invitation letters, no entry!”
“Even for the back entrance?” Feiyun’s expression sank.
“Duh! Idiot!” The woman slammed the gate and called for two armored guards to watch the back entrance and these two.
Ningshuai slapped Feiyun’s shoulder and smiled: “You actually don’t have an invitation for tonight?”
“Is it funny?” Feiyun said.
“No, of course not!” Ningshuai saw his expression and quickly halted laughing: “Why do we need to go through the entrances? Just climb the walls!”
“Climb the walls?”
For places like Supreme Beauty, the walls were more than one hundred meters high with powerful formations carved in. Forcefully erasing them would alarm the experts inside who would mercilessly take care of these intruders.
Ningshuai was an expert wall-climber. He took out a purple hammer and awl then squatted down on the ground. He placed the awl on the wall and hammered its once. A purple current ran through the tip and all the formations suddenly showed themselves.
This particular part had more than one hundred formations with fiery glimmers. Among them was a powerful third-level formation. Even a first-level Heaven’s Mandate would be seriously injured once it activated.
Feiyun stood a bit farther away and asked: “Damned eunuch, you done yet?”
“Yes, yes, I’ve frozen the formations with my electric current, alright, start climbing!” Ningshuai put the hammer and awl away. With one stomp on the ground, his body shot up like a monkey through the gaps in the formation.
Indeed, none of the formations was activated!
Feiyun copied his method and managed to get inside Supreme Beauty.
“Hey, who is that nearly-perfect man you were talking about?” Ningshuai snuck around like a rat through the buildings. Among the trees and ponds in the flower gardens were more murderous formations. Nevertheless, he detected and avoided them all.
“Sacred Spirit, Li Xiaonan.”
Ningshuai paused with a changed expression: “That guy?”
“You know him?”
“Of course, I’ve snuck through Sacred Spirit and got some items there but his sword maids chased me for 200,000 miles. That’s why I had to hide in Wanxiang Pagoda.” Ningshuai revealed.
Feiyun felt inferior right away. This talented guy even stole from Sacred Spirit? How commendable.
Ningshuai continued with a serious expression: “This Li Xiaonan is quite exceptional. In terms of literary talents and cultivation, maybe only Su Yun can compare to him; others are no match at all. His four sword maids and sixteen emissaries are something else too. Each of them is quite powerful and pretty.”
“I’ve experienced some already, their Heavenly Temptation Formation and Jade Tetra Sword Formation are brilliant, capable of erasing a young king.”
Feiyun was leaning on an old tree coiling like a dragon. He slightly noticed a pavilion made out of white pebbles not far from there. It was the best place in Supreme Pavilion, very elegant with many different types of trees, decoration mountains, and ponds. Not too many buildings were there, only a few lanterns hanging by the stony pathways with the occasional maids walking by.
There was a very familiar figure there!
“What are you looking at?” Ningshuai followed his gaze and saw a beautiful figure inside the white pavilion. Just a single glance told him that she was quite a beauty.
