Chapter 468 Is That What I Meant?
Although Li Ye was behind her, but because of her height, the Duchess could not block his head. But she said every word seriously.
Seeing Li Ye look up at the sky in silence, Hong Xiu felt another hint of pain in her heart. But she was not a weak woman, so she didn’t look pitiful.
She said generously, “I’m here to give back your spiritual stones. You bought five hundred jars of wine in Zuixian Restaurant earlier, and left a blazing eagle to pay, but the value is much beyond what the wine is worth. So I’m here to return the extra spiritual stones.”
After Qi Potian heard these words behind Hong Xiu, Qi Potian suddenly looked at Li Ye with grievance.
He ran to Zuixian Restaurant just now with a blazing eagle, and thought he could get the beautiful girl. But he was laughed at by the men in the restaurant. Miss Hong Xiu almost smashed the wine jar on his head.
The sparrow began to play the role of a bystander again. It covered its chest and added sadly, “Oh my God, I seem to hear the sound of heartbreak again! Perhaps those things that fell to the ground were not flower petals by pieces of my broken heart?”
Li Ye slapped it off from his shoulder.
The proprietress’ eyes were full of sympathy when she saw Hong Xiu handing the spiritual stones to the Duchess, “Another one ...”
“Are you going to the Blackrock Ridge with the Killing Hands team?” Hong Xiu asked the Duchess after returning the spiritual stones.
The Duchess answered, “So what if we are?”
Hong Xiu smiled as if she had come back to life in an instant, “What a coincidence, I’m going to enter the mountains with them too!”
Qi Potian was both confused and happy, “...”
“Really, how come I don’t know about it?”
Hong Xiu looked back at him. He understood it immediately, “Bah, she’s just going because of that Childe. Damn stinky man, how dare you take away the soul of my beloved woman? I will fight you to the death!”
Li Ye looked up and sighed with endless sorrow. Since he entered the territory of the demon clan, he seemed to have acquired some amazing skills. What a sin!
Thinking of this, Li Ye suddenly came up with an immature idea. According to the virtue of these female demons in the Demon Territory, he didn’t have to abduct these cultivators by establishing prestige. Could he, maybe, attract countless female demons to come over to his side and together, they could build a troop of the female demon cultivators just by hanging around?
Having thought about it carefully, it seemed possible!
“What are you doing here? Don’t you have things to do? I asked you to gather people and strengthen the team to go into the mountains. What are you all doing here?” A majestic voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the cultivators.
Outside the town, three cultivators flew in, whose cultivation strength seemed very formidable.
The middle-aged man in a large black cloak who just spoke had the cultivation of the Real Immortal Realm, and the two cultivators behind him had also reached the Sky Immortal Realm.
“Is The Big Master here?”
“It’s an honor to meet the big master!”
All members of the Killing Hands bowed to salute.
“You are all a bunch of good-for-nothing fools. I... huh?” The Real Immortal Realm cultivator looked down on everyone and snorted. He looked damn proud. The pressure of his cultivation had spread out along with his cold snort. He wanted to show the cultivators present his strength and status.
However, when his eyes fell on Miss Hong Xiu, he immediately turned from angry to happy. With a smile on his face, he could not be more friendly. He even landed without exerting anymore pressure, “Miss Hong Xiu? Long time no see. You look more beautiful than ever, I am infatuated!”
Li Ye couldn’t help covering his eyes as soon as he saw this scene.
It turned out that The Big Master of the Killing Hands is Hong Xiu’s admirer.
The cultivators of Liuxi Town all seemed to be obsessed with Hong Xiu made, which made Li Ye feel relieved. Facts show that I’m not the only one who people lusted after, I can be at ease now. I almost thought I was a weirdo.
Faced with cordial greetings from the Big Master of the Killing Hands, Miss Hong Xiu’s mouth slightly moved, which was the hint of an acknowledging smile.
She had a cool temperament, and most of the time, she was lazy and casual to others. Even the Big Master of the Killing Hands, who was the powerhouse of the Real Immortal Realm, couldn’t make her show a little enthusiasm, “Big Master, it’s been a while.”
“Haha, yes, it’s been three years!” The Big Master looked very arrogant, “You bastards, I was wondering why you dare to go against my orders and slack off. It turns out that Miss Hong Xiu is here.”
Then, he said hopefully, “Miss Hong Xiu, I’ve been living in seclusion to cultivate for three years. And I’ve refined a middle-class Magic Treasure. If you want, I can give it to you!”
It was quite rare for a Real Immortal cultivator to possess a middle-class Magic Treasure. If it were not someone of status in the big city, it would be more difficult to procure a treasure for the independent cultivator. Thus there was no questioning the value of the Magic Treasure.
According to the Big Master, this was the first middle-class Magic Treasure he had made. It could even be his only middle-class Magic Treasure. Now he would give it to Miss Hong Xiu.
This was really incredible!
But the cultivators of the Killing Hands were not surprised to hear this. They all knew how obsessed their Big Master was with Miss Hong Xiu, definitely no less than Qi Potian
And once Miss Hong Xiu accepted such a precious Magic Treasure, it would be like agreeing to devote herself to the Big Master. After all, there were no free lunches.
They looked at Miss Hong Xiu as though she was already the Big Master’s woman.
How could a girl from a small town restaurant refuse such a treasure?
However, to the surprise of all the cultivators, Miss Hong Xiu smiled faintly and added, “Thank you very much. As for this middle-class Magic Treasure, you should save it for a worthy woman.”
This was an apparent rejection.
The cultivators all took in a deep breath. As the Big Master lost face in front of so many cultivators, Miss Hong Xiu was now in all sorts of trouble.
Everyone knew that the Big Master had a bad temper, which he showed when he immediately exuded the pressure of his cultivation as soon as he appeared. He was not only going to put the members of the Killing Hands in their place, but also all the cultivators in the town.
However, the Big Master was not enraged.
“That’s a pity.” The Big Master was calm as usual, but with a hint of deep regret. Seeing the incredible expressions on the cultivators’ faces, he sneered in his heart. “What do you fools know? You would not feel pain if you were used to being rejected.”
“That’s weird indeed. I’m not proud of it, but why am I so confident?”
The Big Master secretly burst into tears.
But he wasn’t planning on giving up, and asked Hong Xiu tentatively, “This time, the beast tide is coming for us. And I’m afraid that Liuxi Town is no longer safe. Is Miss Hong Xiu willing to follow the Killing Hands and go hunting in the mountains?”
What he meant was to let Hong Xiu follow him so he could protect her.
Of course, the Big Master was trying to create an opportunity to get close to Hong Xiu.
The cultivators thought that Hong Xiu would refuse him again. After all, refusing others had become her daily task, other than selling wine of course. So for her, it was really easy to reject others. But unexpectedly, this time Hong Xiu replied, “I was planning to go into the mountains with everyone.”
The Big Master was overjoyed and in disbelief. This time the usually distant Miss Hong Xiu was willing to follow him into the mountains? This was really a great opportunity!
Then the Big Master knew that it was the middle-class Magic Treasure that moved her. Therefore, the reason why she did not accept it in front of the cultivators just now was to avoid making the demons think that she was mammonish. Now that the Big Master had made a perfect excuse, she could accept it?
It must be so!
The Big Master thought that he had a well-thought-out plan, so he added with joy, “Since this is the case, Miss Hong Xiu, come with me!”
In the hopeful eyes of the Big Master, Miss Hong Xiu shook her head again and replied sternly, “I am not going with you but with this Childe.”
Then, she pointed to Li Ye.
What? The big master felt like being struck by lightning and almost spat blood. It turns out that Miss Hong Xiu doesn’t like my Magic Treasure after all, but she has fallen for... that guy? Was I just hallucinating?
The Big Master looked at Li Ye with a sullen face, and his eyes were not kind, ”Hey, fella, you look unfamiliar, where are you from?”
The words popped out of his teeth, which was extremely cold and hostile, and the meaning of which was self-evident.
Li Ye was dumbfounded, “Aren’t I supposed to be a bystander? How did I get tangled up?”
“Why don’t you speak? You want to come with us, the Killing Hands? Who are you?” The big master was very unhappy.
Li Ye was about to speak, but Miss Hong Xiu cut in, “Big Master, this is my friend, and you don’t have to be so rude?”
The Big Master couldn’t get angry with Miss Hong Xiu. He smiled and added, “You misunderstood. Your friend is my friend, how could I be rude to my friend. I just want to know his name...”
He smiled awkwardly, but he knew that he was not convincing. So he added, “How about you tell me then?”
Miss Hong Xiu had that ‘that’s better’ look. “His name is, is...”
She suddenly realized that she didn’t even know Li Ye’s name. Not even his family name!
This was very awkward!
The Big Master was puzzled, “What’s going on? Just tell me his name, are you afraid that I would hurt him if I knew his name?” The big Master said quickly, “Just tell me, I promise not to trouble him. I just want to... get to know him.”
Miss Hong Xiu nodded to gesture she understood. She then turned to look at Li Ye and asked, “Do you mind telling me your name?”
“...” The Big Master was speechless.
“...” The cultivators were also speechless.
“What’s going on? You don’t even know the guy’s name and yet you’re so eager to follow him? Did you really come here to pay back the extra money?”
“Bah, I don’t believe that at all. For the sake of that childe, you were even willing to offend the Big Master just now. Who would believe that you just want to pay back the extra money?”
“You are Hong Xiu, everyone within a radius of a few hundred kilometers knows who you are. Thousands of men have fallen at your feet, how come you’re not at all worried about your reputation?
All cultivators were staring at Li Ye with a fiercely, including the Big Master. What means did you use to make Miss Hong Xiu like this?
Li Ye thought he was innocent on this matter today, so he felt he’d been wronged. But everyone’s eyes told him that they certainly wouldn’t believe this kind of nonsense. He was helpless.
Li Ye had to reply, “I am Li Congjing.”
“Li Congjing... Sounds like a hero’s name, one with the spirit of a ruler!”, Hong Xiu straight away turned into a love-struck teenager. And after a lot of unfounded praise, she returned to her cold self when she looked at to the Big Master, “This childe is Li Congjing.”
“...” The Big Master was speechless.
Yes, his name is Li Congjing. I heard that. So what? Do I really have to know what his name means?
I can’t discuss this anymore. I can’t bear this kind of differential treatment. My heart can’t stand it.
“I still have something to attend to. I’ve got to go, Miss Hong Xiu, goodbye.” The Big Master took off decisively.
Li Ye glanced at Miss Hong Xiu.
What on earth made her so charming that even a Real Immortal cultivator was so accommodating and obsessed with her?
“It must be more than just her beauty.”
