Chapter 135 Zuoqiu Qingyu (1/2)

The sudden voice caused everyone to lift their heads and looked towards the young lady in a black dress leaning against the wall nearby with her hands across her chest. Several pairs of eyes brightened slightly the moment they saw her.

The girl in black was bare-footed, a string of silver bells around the ankles of her fine jade-white legs. A faint mist seemed to linger beneath her feet, making it seem as if she never touched the ground. Her facial features were extremely pretty, and overflowed with seductive charm, like an enticing little enchantress.

Xiao Tianxuan’s eyes turned a little graver as he gazed at the girl in black and said, “Zuoqiu Qingyu.”

The pupils of the geniuses around him also shrank slightly, clearly having heard of this name before.

“Is it that Zuoqiu Qingyu of the Zuoqiu clan?” Zhou Yuan’s eyes also rippled slightly. It was rumoured that she too was one of the strongest amongst the younger generation of the Cangmang Continent.

Luluo’s eyes widened as she curiously stared at the little enchantress before them. She had naturally heard of the latter’s reputation, but this was the first time she was seeing this individual in person.

However, every one of these gazes were practically nonexistent to the girl called Zuoqiu Qingyu. Her peach blossom like eyes focused only on Yaoyao.

Her figure suddenly moved, accompanied by the clear twinkling of bells as she appeared in front of Yaoyao like a phantom.

“So quick!”

Practically everyone present was shocked. None of them had been able to clearly see her movements.

“Hey, what’s your name? I’m Zuoqiu Qingyu, let’s be friends!” Zuoqiu Qingyu beamed as she looked at Yaoyao, the former’s limpid eyes filled with curiosity.

This person was actually as pretty as herself!

In addition, the thing that drew her interest the most was Yaoyao’s demeanor, especially those eyes that seemed to be both penetrating and empty. When Zuoqiu Qingyu made her entrance earlier,everyone else had their breaths taken away. He was the only one that seemed to have no reaction at all.

Zuoqiu Qingyu could sense that Yaoyao was not pretending, and was truly not interested in the former.

Yaoyao was also slightly taken aback at the sudden appearance of Zuoqiu Qingyu so close to her, but soon regained her wits. She was currently disguised as a guy after all.

However, Yaoyao was not interested in explaining things and casually answered, “Zhou Xiaoyao.”

“Heehee, your name is as pretty as mine.”

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s lips twitched. Zuoqiu Qingyu was a little narcissistic, but she did have the assets that were worthy of such narcissism.

Yaoyao paid no attention to Zuoqiu Qingyu. She looked towards Xiao Tianxuan and Gu Ling and said, “Remember my words. If you want it back, come and snatch it after entering the Saint Remains Domain. Such useless and petty tricks are better kept under the table.”

Her tone was light, not even the slightest hint of anger, but it contained a cold authority that no one dared to retort against.

She turned around to leave after finishing, leaving behind a group of stunned young men and women.

Zhou Yuan and Luluo hastily ran after her, while Zuoqiu Qingyu’s eyes spun in thought for a moment before also following.

Xiao Tianxuan’s handsome face was somewhat ugly as he watched their leaving figures. The matter today was supposed to be have been easily resolved; Zhou Yuan should have given him face as the junior city lord and returned the Gu clan’s supreme treasure to Gu Ling.

He was initially debating whether he should make Zhou Yuan apologize and make amends to Gu Ling after returning the treasure. Who could have expected that the other party would have no intention of giving him any face.

Now, not only did they fail to get the treasure back, they had even been intimidated quite a bit.

By the side, a stormy look flashed in Gu Ling’s long and narrow eyes, but she made sure to reveal nothing on her face as she let out a bitter laugh and said, “I’ve really wasted junior city lord’s painstaking efforts, I had thought that this matter could be solved peacefully.”

Her words only fanned the flames of rage in Xiao Tianxuan’s heart as he replied in a low voice, “Humph, although that person’s Spirit is at the Corporeal stage, he’s still too arrogant. So what if your Spirit is strong, if you carelessly allow someone to close in, you will still be killed in a single blow.”

The other geniuses echoed in agreement. Though it was true that those who focused solely on Spirit cultivation could borrow the power of Genesis Runes, their bodies were exceedingly weak and a single slip may result in the destruction of their physical bodies.

“Moreover…”

Iciness flashed in Xiao Tianxuan’s eyes. “I’ve heard that Zhou Yuan seems to have a grudge with Wu Huang of the Great Wu Empire.”

“I wonder, will he be able to protect Zhou Yuan from Wu Huang with just his Spirit”

Gu Ling’s eyes immediately brightened when she heard this.

Only a handful of individuals amongst the younger generation of the Cangmang Continent could compare to Wu Huang. He was after all someone who had slayed an Alpha-Origin expert with the strength of the advance Heaven Gate stage.

Though that handsome pretty boy did possess a Corporeal stage Spirit, he would not be able to find any advantage against Wu Huang.
