867 The Man Who Read sThe Plum in the Golden Vases (1/2)
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Monster Emperor Baizhi's eyes widened with disbelief. She had waited forever for this moment.
However, she had to believe the scene in front of her. Fang Zhengzhi's sword had indeed penetrated Nangong Hao's chest.
”No!” Monster Emperor Baizhi let out an indignant howl and her white fur dress began shaking wildly. White fur that looked like metal began growing beneath the white fur dress, covering her body in a blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, Monster Emperor Baizhi's eyes turned dark green. With the green light circulating in her eyes, she gave a chilling and mysterious glance.
”She was turning into a monster!”
”Monster Emperor Baizhi was turning into a monster?!”
”Everyone had known Monster Emperor Baizhi for her vanity. Can't believe that she turned into a monster in public! Nine-Tailed White Fox, I have never ever seen its true form in my life!”
This scene stunned the disciples from various sects. Nevertheless, they were exhilarated as well.
After all, they thought that the ongoing crisis would have ended with Nangong Hao's death. Yet the scene that was taking place in front of them was an extremely rare one.
On the other hand…
Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were trembling.
More than ten years ago, humankind had once engaged in a Great War with the monster race and demon race because of the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet. The war saw countless deaths.
Even in that war, Monster Emperor Baizhi did not resort to turning into a monster.
Yet now, the most powerful of the Holy Region, Monster Emperor Baizhi, the legendary Nine-Tailed White Fox, turned into a monster! This definitely was a great shock to Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi?
If Nangong Hao had not died, they could only choose to fight to their deaths. For the future of humankind, it was worth it.
However, Nangong Hao had died…
Now that everything had ended, things were different. Monster Emperor Baizhi had turned into a monster in front of the public as a way to vent her anger because she had lost control of her own emotions.
When Monster Emperor Baizhi calmed down, she would consider other things such as the survival of the monster race. By then, the monster race would have to retreat to the Great Swamp again.
”Old man Mo, retreat!” Mu Qingfeng fled without hesitation. After all, it would not be a wise choice to fight with the crazy Monster Emperor Baizhi.
However, as the Pavilion Master of Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng was profound enough to know that he should not use the word ”run”. Therefore, he said ”retreat” instead.
”Baizhi, there is no point struggling anymore!” With a face of righteousness, Mo Shanshi looked as though he was invincible.
Despite of the aura he gave from his expression, he had retreated far away without needing Mu Qingfeng's reminder.
”…” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi who had both ran afar, as well as Monster Emperor Baizhi's pair of dark green eyes which were staring at his face. He wanted to say 'motherf*cker' but hesitated.
As the ancient saying goes, Heroes die early. It was indeed true!
What a pragmatic and cruel scene. Fang Zhengzhi wished that he could rewind time and remain as the little naive afterlife bystander.
However, everyone had the ambition of becoming a hero.
Fang Zhengzhi too. Therefore, he had to bear with Monster Emperor Baizhi's anger regardless of whether he was willing or not.
”That old monster… Oh no, I meant, white… auntie. Actually, my relationship with Yun Qingwu is rather…” Fang Zhengzhi realised that he needed to put his cards on the table.
However, Monster Emperor Baizhi did not give him a chance to speak. With a shake, she disappeared from her spot.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi felt a chilling aura coming from his back, as though the spirits from hell were holding the saber of death behind him.
”Face your death!” Monster Emperor Baizhi's face was full of fur that looked extremely smooth. Radiance was flowing through her body, though she looked as though she was grimacing, she radiated alluring beauty.
However, that was no longer important.
The important thing was, Monster Emperor Baizhi had two lightning bolts in her hands. They were real lightning that had accumulated and took the shape of two cold and long knives.
It was recorded in historical books that a real powerful Monster could control the Sun and the Moon, hold lightning in their hands, step on wind and fire, breathe the breath of sky and earth, as well as fuse with the sky and earth.
Fang Zhengzhi was unsure if Monster Emperor Baizhi had already fused with the sky and earth, nor could he see the two lightning bolts in her hands.
But he knew that she was behind him.
Furthermore, from the chilling and terriffying tone of Monster Emperor Baizhi, he could tell that she meant it when she said ”face your death”.
”Fight till the end!” As the saying goes, despair gives courage even to a coward. At this critical point of life or death, Fang Zhengzhi clenched his teeth and stomped his feet, his potential completely exploding out of his body.
Monster Emperor Baizhi was fast. Fang Zhengzhi was not slow either.
As the saying goes, capture the ringleader so as to capture all of his followers, hit where it hurts the most. Fang Zhengzhi was clueless about where Monster Emperor Baizhi's ”hurting point” was, but he knew where the ”hurting point” of a woman was.
To a woman, the real taboo was not about any particular body part. Woman would not specially cover that part to protect it.
Therefore, most of the time, woman only react after they had been grabbed at that area.
In that situation, Fang Zhengzhi clearly did not have time to grab the area. Furthermore, even if he successfully grabbed it, he probably would have already died by the time Monster Emperor Baizhi reacted.
Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi decided to not target any specific body part, but rather the mindset.
In reality, anyone who was mindful would know that there had been a saying that described the relationship between a man and a woman — It is improper for the opposite sexes to come into contact with one another.
This saying was extraordinarily emphasised in this relatively conservative world.
Fang Zhengzhi had read ”The Plum in the Golden Vase” before and hence understood more things than the ordinary man. Naturally, he knew that the real taboo for women was the sudden close approach of men.
This was a subconscious mindset.
For example, while walking on the streets, if you suddenly stretched out your hand to touch any part of a woman's body, if you were fast and decisive enough, you would have at least a fifty percent chance of success.
However, if we used another method, while walking on the streets, you suddenly leaned against a woman's chest, there is a ninety percent probability that the woman would jump away and scream. Following that, not only did you fail at completing your mission, but you would also have to face the consequences.
Fang Zhengzhi was extremely meticulous. He had flipped ”The Plum in the Golden Vase” a hundred times and memorized the finest details.
Regarding the actual effect…
