Chapter 272 : You Rock, Highgod! 22 (2/2)
Whereas the previous Yue Yao was petite and cute, the current Yue Yao was seductive, her every move seeming to overflow with a provocative charm.
“That lil’ bitch actually tried to seduce us! I’ve lost my appetite just seeing that caked face. Isn’t that right, Boss?” Er-Er subserviently expressed his loyalty to Shi Sheng.
“Boss, you’re the prettiest—the prettiest of them all!”
“That’s right! Boss is way better lookin’ than that lil’ bitch! She doesn’t even have the qualifications to carry Boss’ shoes!”
After a round of praise, the devil beasts spoke in unison, “Boss, avenge us!”
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘The last part’s the main point eh?’
Yue Yao wasn’t far away, so she was naturally able to hear their words. Her face turned dark.
“Qing Guan, here I was thinking you wouldn’t dare show up,” Yue Yao raised her voice.
Shi Sheng launched herself off the city wall and stood in the air facing Yue Yao.
“So why are you looking for me? To have a family reunion?”
Yue Yao frowned. “You know?”
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘I was just spouting whatever came to mind…don’t tell me it’s real?! Wtf, so Qing Guan’s dad was that type of Ancient Highgod…’
“Know that you’re illegitimate?”
“Qing Guan!” It appeared that Shi Sheng had hit a sore spot, for Yue Yao sharply shouted, “You’re the illegitimate one!”
“Oh wow I was right…” Shi Sheng muttered as she cursed System (and the author of this novel) inwardly. ‘That author must’ve never gotten around to finishing this novel! This plot is clearly unfinished, okay?’
“So why did you want to see me? To boast that you’re an illegitimate daughter who has a daddy?” Shi Sheng raised her head and spoke in a ridiculing tone, “A pity that old fella’s been dead for so long. He can’t see you, or give you any protection.”
Yue Yao suddenly calmed down as she spoke with a few hints of triumph in her tone, “Qing Guan, I bet you don’t know that he left Verdance to me?”
“What’s that?” ‘Is that verdance thing amazing or something?’
Yue Yao was stumped. Her reaction was different to what she had anticipated.
“You don’t even know the ancient divine weapon Verdance? You aren’t fit to be his daughter!”
‘She must be faking indifference!’
After all, how could anyone remain truly calm upon learning that their father had another daughter, and that he’d left his divine weapon to her?
Yue Yao consoled herself inwardly.
“Oh, an ancient divine weapon eh? Well take it out and let’s have a look.” Shi Sheng gave Yue Yao a faint smile.
Yue Yao was desperate to show off, so she immediately summoned Verdance. It was a viridian[1] shade of green and was delicately and exquisitely crafted, making it appropriate for females to use.
Yue Yao smugly lifted her chin. “Qing Guan, even if you were born in the Verdant Palace, you still never got Verdance! The person he truly loved was my mother so he left Verdance to me!”
‘Just because she was born in the Verdant Palace, she could be a Highlord from birth. Why should she be the one to enjoy this treatment? I’m his daughter too! Why should I have to live on tenterhooks?’
Shi Sheng displayed her sword. “Know what this sword of mine is called?”
Yue Yao was caught off guard at first, but soon, doubts rose in her heart as she was unclear as to what Shi Sheng was planning.
She bore witness to the might of that sword before and overheard people deduce that it was a divine weapon, but none of them knew which divine weapon it was.
“What?”
Shi Sheng’s lips curved upwards. “God-Killer, an ancient demon sword.”
[1] Okay, so the raws were more dark green, but I felt this shade of green fit a sword called Verdance even more (the name does too). In case you wanted to see what this shade of green is without searching it up:
