our fault!" Lin Yi said with a frown."Nor do I, I feel that my strength needs to be strengthened further; even if I pass, I'm not sure I can make it through! Moreover, Third Young Master is right, we'...Chapter 510: Dragon Blood Stone Spirit 1
"Qi Bupo, if you don't give me an explanation about what happened today, we're not done!"
Xiaoyao was pulled over by Qi Yanran to watch the drama behind the grand hall. He heard someone shouting and he felt puzzled. The shout should have been made by Qi Bupo to others, right Why is it the other way around
Currently in the grand hall, two groups of people are confronting each other. One group is led by Qi Bupo, while another is led by a middle-aged woman. Interestingly, there are all women behind her, and many of them are beauties.
If these beauties were together, it would be a pleasant sight to see; however, the aura of killing intent they emit has ruined this scene greatly.
The middle-aged woman is also not an easy person. Whoever can confront Qi Bupo must have formidable strength. From her presence, one could sense she should also be divine level.
Xiaoyao realized that being at the divine level now seems to be undervalued since everyone who appears is a divine. However, those who reach Qi Bupo's level naturally interact with people of the same rank, and these divines are not here for their own sake. This can easily be understood.
But as for why both sides are confronting each other now, Xiaoyao doesn't know yet. He guessed it might have something to do with the person on the stretcher between them. Seeing her half-dead appearance and being carried here, there must have been a conflict.
"Are you puzzled This old lady is called Fairy of One Hundred Flowers, that's her former title. Now she shamelessly uses it even though she’s in her seventies or eighties. It still sounds okay if we call her Flower Grandma." Qi Yanran said as she explained the situation to Xiaoyao.
If this is the case, there should be more to come. Xiaoyao didn't intend to speak and just waited for her to continue.
As expected, Qi Yanran continued, "Don't look at her now as if she's under forty years old. She’s actually over eighty years old. Her beauty preservation technique is quite powerful; I also want to learn it. This woman comes from a neighboring force called the Palace of One Hundred Flowers near our Shadow Moon Valley, where only women reside and they are all deranged women who vowed never to marry.
“Up until now, we have always avoided them without any conflicts. But I wonder what happened today"
"Indeed, when many women gather together, they can unleash terrifying power, especially a group of women without men. That's even more scary." Xiaoyao nodded and said.
“Are you mocking women” Qi Yanran looked at Xiaoyao with an expression that seemed to say, if you're not satisfied, I'll make sure you are.
"This is not mockery; it's the truth. You can also say men without women and money are terrifying." Xiaoyao said casually. "I have a question for you."
“Don’t ask me, I don't know who that person on the stretcher is.” Qi Yanran said, instinctively thinking that Xiaoyao might be asking about this matter which she considered as the main topic.
"That's not what I'm asking. My question is: my clothes seem new and my body clean; who changed me" Xiaoyao asked.
“…” Qi Yanran was taken aback by Xiaoyao’s unexpected question, but since he had asked, she replied.
"It's me! But not many times! Anyway, you should thank your sister for it!" Qi Yanran said; at first, she didn’t want to admit it, but the truth is no one else could have done it except her.
Qi Bupo wouldn't do it, neither would Xiao Yizhu. Then there's only her. If she had a maid, then she might send the maid instead, but actually, her family doesn't have any maids; all such things are handled by disciples from Shadow Moon Valley. And Qi Bupo wouldn’t allow his disciple to interact with Xiaoyao anyway. Therefore, it could only be Qi Yanran.
Being a sister and taking care of her younger brother is nothing unusual. Forget it, let’s consider him as my little brother!
The reason why Qi Yanran treats Xiaoyao so familiarly now is that she has already subconsciously accepted Xiaoyao as her younger brother by doing these things.
This situation has no other way out; otherwise, admitting to helping a man change clothes and clean his body would be embarrassing for her. Yes, she cares about appearances rather than the issue of men and women not touching each other.
As someone raised in the Demon Realm, she naturally wouldn't care about such worldly norms. Or perhaps it’s because there aren’t any such rules in the Demon Realm; everyone does as they please, so why should those influenced by their education abide by rules
"Really Then my body has been seen entirely by you" Xiaoyao asked.
“So what if I saw your naked body There’s nothing to be alarmed about. However, I didn’t look that closely; I just threw you into the bathtub and washed you there before taking you out and letting you dry…." Qi Yanran said with a bad temper, as if she had been wronged. She believes he should kneel down in gratitude for her help.
Xiaoyao didn’t feel grateful but was just thinking about one thing—
To撈出來 晾乾 Do you think I'm some sort of rag
"Lady百花, could you please explain what exactly you mean by bringing an injured girl to cause trouble for us out of nowhere"祁不破 asked.
"Qibupo, if one does wrong, they must take responsibility. It was your Shadow Moon Valley people who deceived Ruyu's heart and abandoned her after causing chaos, leaving her severely injured," Lady百花 said coldly, which seemed to fit her character according to Xianyao.
"Abandoning someone after playing with them Name the person so I can punish him for this!" Qibupo didn't like people who played around and then abandoned others or hurt them. If you don’t want something, just leave it alone.
"He’s your favorite disciple, Gongsun Jun," Lady百花 said. She had come personally because she was afraid that Qibupo would protect his own person, as Gongsun Jun wasn't an ordinary person but one of the most promising figures in Shadow Moon Valley.
"You can rest assured. Even if it’s Gongsun Jun who did this, I won’t show any leniency! Where is Gongsun Jun Notify him to come over!" After saying that, Qibupo turned around and asked his people where Gongsun Jun was; clearly, he wasn't present.
"He’s currently meditating. I’ll notify him immediately."
The palace hall served as the center for information relay, some places could only receive but not transmit, while others could both receive and transmit. The place where Gongsun Jun was located belonged to the latter category; it wouldn't take long before he arrived.
"Clan Leader!"
When Gongsun Jun appeared and saw the scene and the people on the ground, his expression changed slightly but ultimately chose to ignore them and only bowed to Qibupo.
Gongsun Jun wasn't very old, appearing around 25-26 years old, but from his profound inner strength, he was likely in his thirties.
Gongsun Jun lived up to his name, being quite handsome and the ideal object of affection for many girls.
"Gongsun Jun, they say you abandoned this lady after playing with her and injured her. Is that true" Qibupo asked.
"Clan Leader, I did not abandon her, but it was indeed me who injured her; I won’t deny what I’ve done," Gongsun Jun replied.
"You brat, I’ll kill you!" Hearing this, Lady百花 lunged forward, only to be blocked by Qibupo.
"Qibupo, if you intend to protect him, then don't talk about it so nicely before; let's declare war right now!" Lady百花 said explosively.
"If that’s what you want, let’s fight. Our Shadow Moon Valley won’t fear you." Qibupo was too lazy to argue and agreed readily. Normally, he would try to clear the air first, but given Lady百花's words, he didn't feel like doing so; otherwise, how could they face anyone in the future.
"Very well, very well!" Lady百花 gritted her teeth, staring at Qibupo and saying "very well" repeatedly. But to her, this wasn’t good at all.
The Palace of a Hundred Flowers was made up mostly of women; they could cause trouble through squabbling but couldn't win in a real fight as the Shadow Moon Valley had far more capable people than them and also had the Supreme Demon Palace backing them. The Palace of a Hundred Flowers lacked sufficient support.
"Alright, let’s not act on impulse. We need to clarify this matter first; even if we have to fight, it should be fought clearly," Shao Yizhuu stepped in at that moment. She wasn’t afraid but was concerned about the misunderstanding of Shadow Moon Valley bullying the women.
"What's there to talk about He just admitted injuring our people," Lady百花 said with an assertive tone, though she seemed willing to continue talking. At its core, her visit today was for a clear answer and to deal with Gongsun Jun.
"Yes, he did admit injuring your people, but not why. We don't know the cause of this matter; let him explain it fully before we believe one-sided accounts," Qibupo said, which is why he had stopped Lady百花 earlier—Gongsun Jun admitted to the injury but denied abandoning her.
Qibupo didn’t discriminate against injuring women because in Demonland, women weren't weaker than men; sometimes they were even more terrifying. No one in Demonland would say it was wrong to injure or kill a woman.
"Humph, I’ll hear his side of the story," Lady百花 said cleverly, giving him the chance to speak but reserving her right to dismiss it as a one-sided account.
Qibupo didn’t care about her intentions; if he believed something was right, then that’s all that mattered. Even if Lady百花 disagreed, he wouldn’t accept it.
"Speak up! Don't pay attention to others and just tell me what happened," Qibupo told Gongsun Jun.
"Clan Leader, I met Xiaohui a year ago. Seeing how good she was, I pursued her. You can imagine the process; once I got her, though, she said she belonged to the Palace of a Hundred Flowers and couldn't be with me. I told her it didn’t matter as long as she left the Palace or if she stayed, she could decide for herself, but she refused," Gongsun Jun explained simply, knowing Qibupo wouldn’t want to hear the details.l definitely chase after the Twin-Strike Sword, we still have unfinished business today!!"Xiaoyao wanted to take advantage of the situation to escape, but his opportunity did not come. Whether it was...
