"...Xiao Bai."
"Xiao Bai."
"XIAO BAI."
My eyes snapped open and I found all three women looking at me weirdly.
[Bloodline Ability Obtained: Rampage]
I am back? I pressed my chest and found everything to be alright.
"Xiao Bai, are you alright?" Xiurong asked worriedly.
While gaining the knowledge of Rampage ability, I gave a smile to her, reassuring her. Then I glanced at the sword, the weird feeling of emptiness has completely disappeared from my heart.
"I will buy this sword." Meiyao who heard me had a serious expression for the first time. But it quickly turned back into her usual teasing face.
"What? Are you worried about money so you chose this rundown sword? Don't worry, since you are Zongying's acquaintance, I will give you a hearty discount. So feel free to choose any other one."
I shook my head resolutely. Ignoring other two women's perplexed gazes, I declared in no-bullshit tone. "This is the one for me."
"...well, it's yours then. Xu lia." She clapped her hands and a young girl entered the room. But I already knew looks can be deceiving with all these Immortals roaming around.
"Give the sword to her, she will complete the paperworks."
Just as I gave the sword away, twisting her hips, Meiyao out of a blue leaned against me, her spongy breast almost touching my chest. "My offer is still here, how about being here with me?" She stretched her fingers and trailed on my chin, crooning seductively, "I promise to feed you well. Maybe you will get some other rewards too if you are obedient." She licked her lips, and circled her fingers on my chest at the end.
I wouldn't deny even though I had cut through her spell earlier, I wouldn't mind staying here. This woman was too good to let go. But then I calmed my mind. No need to rush things.
"Thanks for the offer. But I have other things to achieve in life."
"Oh" She seemed interested, not at all angry that I rejected her. "What things?"
I smirked audibly. "Hehe. You seem really interested in this little man." And returned back the words she said to me earlier.
By the taken aback face she displayed, clearly, she didn't foresee that I would actually get back at her fearlessly. Except it didn't last long, she gave the most charming smile afterwards, starry eyes shining brightly in interest. I shivered. Calm down!
At that instant, I just wanted to push this woman and fuck her senseless. Was she using her Divine Physique?
Without warming, I felt a pair of hot lips on my cheeks before it disappeared.
"Your reward for the bravery. No man had the guts to flirt with me. Let's go sit there, I make pretty good tea."
Xiurong twisted her mouth in displeasure and harrumphed down on the chair. Zongying just looked at me weirdly.
...
"Come visit me again!" Meiyao waved her hands at us, giving me a wink secretly as we exited the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
"Is she always like that?" Zongying knew Meiyao the best among us, so I asked as soon as we got out.
Shaking her head slowly, she replied in her usual cold voice, "towards me, maybe. But she just likes to tease me. I have never seen her talk to any man like that, usually, she disdain even talking to them. She may seem promiscuous, but in reality, she is rather conservative in nature. That's why I am perplexed about her behaviour with you."
"'Maybe... because I am very handsome?" I joked, which failed miserably since no one laughed and Zongying even gave me a nasty glare.
I just shut up my mouth and we walked in silence. It was already pretty late in night but we figured it would be better to go back than staying in this lawless land.
It was at this time, I noticed something.
"It's too silent."
Rather than retorting against me, Zongying actually agreed. "It definitely is."
She closed her eyes for a second and shock slowly crept in her face.
"Not good."
"No, it's good... for us." Just as her alarmed voice stop ringing in our ears, another followed, but it came from someone else, a man.
I felt a very strong Qi surrounding us. Zongying was creating a barrier for me and Xiurong. By the slight panic hidden in her extreme coldness, I could tell things weren't looking good.
Moments later, I saw a wave of blue Qi sweeping towards us, it quickly formed a giant dome, enclosing and separating us from outside.
"Shielding Turtle Family!"
My eyebrows tightened listening to Xiurong's outraged voice. She had told me about them. It was their mortal enemy. Both Family controlled one of the 33 small realms in Upper-Realm, they were almost equal in strength. And their feud was thicker than blood, both families had actually ordered to kill each other at sight.
But... if even Zongying was panicking, it means the other party was stronger than her or the numbers were more than she could handle.
My theory was proved quickly when six people with sky-blue hair appeared in front of us with a whoosh. I heard Zongying mutter. "Six people at 9th Level of Immortal King."
My worry increases exponentially. As I remember Zongying was at 8th Level of Immortal King.
"Haha... we heard that the 3rd and youngest princess of Cherry Heaven Realm was visiting the East Merchant City, guess it was true." There were three men, three women. The men were already leering at the two girl by my side discourteously.
I remember why their hatred ran so deep. It was because Xiurong's mother, the Queen of Cheery Heaven Realm was raped by Shielding Turtle Realm King after she was deceptively captured by them. In despair, she committed suicide instead of returning back.
Outraged by losing the love of his life, Cheery Heaven Realm King burned million Immortals of Shielding Turtle Realm—alive. In the 'Zone of Sacrifice', a place in Cheery Heaven Realm, you could hear the wails and begging of those Immortals, they are still burning till this day—even now.
