Chapter 2164: Troubling Bits
"Damn, being able to threaten people feels so good!"
Meanwhile, Mingzhi grinned from ear to ear, looking completely wicked.
"You’re definitely not a righteous expert."
Schleya commented from beside, her expression nonchalant. Her words caused Mingzhi to giggle.
"Hehe, I never said I was. I just like the peace and a few advantages it gives me, as Davis does, so I am aligned towards it. However, I don’t like being evil either, so don’t include me in the same place with those degenerates who followed your bidding in your time at the Blood Pledge Villa."
"But you... you didn’t cut his head off immediately as you would usually do in the Blood Pledge Villa Territory."
Mingzhi raised her brows as a teasing smile appeared on his face, "Is it because you don’t want to cause him trouble?"
"..."
Schleya stared at Mingzhi, not really responding to that comment.
"Hehe~ I thought so... even though he said that you could do anything."
Mingzhi’s voice rang out in a melodious tune, but Schleya simply shook her head.
"That was only meant for you and his women."
"I thought he addressed it for everyone right there, including his sister and you. After all, he did say to be ’truthful’ when explaining the situation. Who exactly do you think it was addressed to?"
Hearing Mingzhi explaining, Schleya’s mouth couldn’t slightly hang agape as she pondered over it.
Perhaps, those words of his were truly meant for...
"Just kidding. It wasn’t meant for you."
"You...!"
Schleya clenched her teeth at Mingzhi, who sneakily giggled while looking at her face, taking immense pleasure over the complex feelings of her heart.
"Mingzhi, don’t provoke me."
"Yes, yes. I won’t, Young Blood Demoness with tender feelings in her heart."
"..."
Schleya trembled, but she didn’t do anything in the end, simply looking away.
Meanwhile, Mingzhi felt extremely refreshed at teasing Schleya because she displayed those adorable reactions, which could be slightly seen through her veil. She felt like she was teasing her little sister and couldn’t help but be reminded of Fiora, whom she had gone with a step ahead and slept together with Davis, making her blush a bit.
However, as she gazed at a suitable spot, her focus returned as she grabbed Schleya’s pale hand and pulled her into the spatial bubble.
=========
*Achu!~*
A gorgeous green-robed woman sneezed adorably in a cute voice before rubbing her small nose.
"Someone’s thinking of me..."
"That’s not right."
A golden-robed woman beside her seemed volatile as she grabbed the green-robed woman’s ear and pulled on them. "You got drenched by provoking a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, and the heavy winds constantly blowing here will seep through your pores and make you sick"...
"Ahh~ Third sister, you’re bullying me~~~"
Fiora cried out, seemingly on the edge of tears. However, Isabella cast a mocking gaze.
"I won’t fall for that trick. Even Shirley has matured, but you and Mingzhi are the most playful of all. Who told you to go pick a fight with that insufferable woman?"
"Because that idiotic woman said that the Emperor of Death doesn’t amount to much to coddle some random man. Still, she can say that but not when I’m around...! Besides, she deserves to be beaten black and blue for being unfaithful...!"
"I feel the same way, but that’s not our problem. Let’s go."
Isabella grabbed Fiora’s hand and took her away, seemingly bothered.
Although they left, there were two figures lying on a flying boat with aghast expressions on their faces. Blood was dripping from their mouths, appearing injured and even slightly paralyzed.
They were none other than the Water Dragon Queen, Giselle Orcha, and Starnova Emperor’s seventh son, Lezlie Starchild.
They only took one palm from the Earth Dragon Queen, but it had them repeatedly coughing blood and the dantians injured, almost cracking. Perhaps, she showed mercy, but it made no difference as their cultivations were badly damaged now. In fact, they could heal it as long as they returned to their powers, but how are they going to explain that they offended the Earth Dragon Queen by trying to kill Fiora for noticing their secret affair?
When Fiora approached them and demanded that they apologize, they were passionately kissing. Afraid that they were caught, they instantly tried to silence Fiora without even confirming her identity, but suddenly the Earth Dragon Queen appeared and smacked their techniques like it was nothing and used her palm to strike them both on their abdomens.
Caught off-guard, they spat a mouthful of blood and fell beside each other as though they were dying lovers.
They were lying down, trying to move, but it was like they were caught in a quagmire, disallowing them to move properly.
Was this a property of the Earth Dragon Queen’s Earth Laws, or were their bodies simply shuddering in fear?
Nonetheless, what went through their minds wasn’t this but how to deal with the aftermath of this mess.
’No... I can’t get caught here...!’
Without even thinking much of the consequences, Giselle Orcha’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as she abruptly swung her hand, a blue dagger with sharp waves appearing in her grasp as she swung it towards Lezlie Starchild’s forehead, intending to destroy his soul.
"...!"
*Boom!~*
A protective artifact abruptly shone above Lezlie Starchild’s neck as it formed a protective barrier, blocking Giselle Orcha’s murderous ocean dagger. However, since it was blocked, the flying boat swayed from the impact and caused Lezlie Starchild to be able to escape as he plunged towards the ground.
Giselle Orcha’s eyes were wide in shock as she couldn’t believe that he had a soul-protecting artifact!
*Boom!~*
The flying boat exploded, having been detonated by Lezlie Starchild. However, a water barrier was formed around Giselle Orcha, her expression appearing incensed as she knew she had allowed him to escape.
"Slut! I was a fool to have believed your plight. I’ll definitely spread the word about what kind of a person you are!"
"Shut up!!! It’s not like you’re a righteous person either, bastard!"
Both of their expressions were unsightly as they gazed at each other’s faces with utter disgust and extreme rage.
They knew that they were both seducing each other, one craving the power and authority and the other the blood of the Water Dragon, but to have made a move to kill, Lezlie Starchild was heavily incensed at Giselle Orcha, but he knew why Giselle Orcha took that decision.
It was to keep her honor from being publicly ruined.
Originally, he was planning to keep this tempting beauty as his concubine as long as she could divorce Jeras Orcha, but he couldn’t give a crap about that after being almost assassinated by her in a moment of weakness. He didn’t think that she was this ruthless, having almost lost his life to her dagger if it were not for his protective artifact.
Lezlie Starchild disappeared into the horizon while Giselle Orcha was left hovering in the heavy winds. However, her expression was unsightly as she looked around.
It was over...
She could sense numerous gazes and senses washing past her, and that would mean that most people should’ve found out about her affair with Starnova Emperor’s seventh son.
Isabella and Fiora were unaware of this altercation as they had already traversed far away, managing to find their suitable spatial bubble.
Like Mingzhi and Isabella’s group, the others also encountered a few problems before finding a suitable spot for themselves.
Evelynn and Clara were practically catcalled for their big bosoms and unfathomable beauty before they killed them in a single move. They didn’t even know who they killed but didn’t bother and continued to find a suitable spot before they finally found one. Even Shirley and Tia had a similar encounter as they were practically unknown.
Although Shirley easily turned her harassers into ashes with a flick of her hand, Tia was aghast as it was her first time witnessing death this close, allowing her to understand how fleeing life was to end in an instant, causing her to determine herself to predict dangers so that this kind of thing wouldn’t happen to them.
Meanwhile, Natalya was recognized as the Yin Lotus Fairy as she was using a lotus to travel with Tanya.
As for the others, they had a few verbal altercations, but that’s all.
Most of the problems they encountered could have been avoided if they had not worn a veil as the others would’ve recognized and stayed clear of them, but in the minds of Evelynn and the others, their beauty could only be enjoyed by a single person, and that was the exclusivity and respect they gave to Davis and to their own bodies.
Therefore, they won’t remove it of their own volition while outside.
Even Mingzhi, who lived in the modern world, adopted a similar attitude because the environment she lived in was like that.
However, it was also only not for that reason as Mingzhi knew that beauty was a dangerous weapon, but it was also equally vulnerable if the host of the beauty lacked strength in this dog eats dog world.
