Chapter 560 – Untitled
Puff!
Qin Ji spat a mouthful of fresh blood into the air.
She had exceeded her limit by using so many runes of the Bright Moon Hotel all at once while also protecting so many rulers in the building.
As a powerhouse in the Void Training Stage, she still felt powerless fighting against the three-color Fiery Lotus alone, so she had suffered minor internal injuries instantly.
However, after hearing Xu Que's tell her, "Shake your bosom, suckle the world," Qin Ji burst out in anger immediately. Her internal injuries were aggravated by her rage, which resulted in her spitting blood.
The rest of the people around came to themselves. Watching the seriously-damaged Bright Moon Hotel, many people were terrified.
How destructive it was!
How could a cultivator at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage do that?
However, after remembering Xu Que's words, everyone became speechless immediately.
Shake your bosom, suckle the world?
Buddy, you're a real genius!
After exploding the Bright Moon Hotel, you still dared to bother the host! Your behavior was outrageous!
You know you're asking for it, right? Now you've become a sworn enemy of the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect!
"My lord!" At this moment, two anxious voice could be heard from outside the Bright Moon Hotel.
The next moment, two dark shadows flew through the air like two black hurricanes with magnificent killing intent.
"Elder Yun and Elder Feng are back!" someone exclaimed immediately.
Upon seeing the arrival of the two elders, Xu Que took out the Divine Escape Spell immediately.
He could do nothing now. Although Qin Ji had great discursive power in this building, the two elders were too powerful, and Xu Que couldn't afford to challenge them.
All at once, he shouted, "The Bright Moon Hotel, the Jiang family, and the Gong family, listen now! Today, I speak up for Jiang Hongyan. The destruction and killings are only of small interest to our Exploding Heavens Faction! I will settle this issue with you sometime in the future!"
After saying this, he ignited the spell in his hand, and his figure started to become misty then and there.
"Little beast, stop!" Elder Yun and Elder Feng roared as they dashed towards the image of Xu Que.
Xu Que said with a nasty laugh, "Come on, come and get me! Are you angry? Tell me, are you angry?"
Whoosh!
After that, Xu Que disappeared instantly.
"Ah!" Elder Yun and Elder Feng roared angrily.
No matter how fast they had been, they had failed to catch up with Xu Que.
After acting tough, Xu Que had uttered taunting words before escaping, which had been extremely annoying.
Even powerhouses like Elder Yun and Elder Feng were shaking in rage after letting Xu Que escape again. They couldn't stay calm anymore, and their fiery eyes filled with killing intent.
At the same time, the rest of the people were confused.
The harsh words left by Xu Que before his escape were quite stunning.
None of them had expected Xu Que to speak up for Jiang Hongyan.
However, they had never heard of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Where did this faction come from? How could it have such a powerful ruler?
As a cultivator only at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, he dared to stand against the Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect, the Jiang family, and the Gong family publicly. Could it be that this Exploding Heavens Faction is backed by such a powerful guy? Otherwise, why would he be so reckless as to utter harsh words like that?
"The Exploding Heavens Faction… Ah, that reminds me! When I was in the South Continent, I heard of a faction with this name!" a figure said calmly as he came downstairs slowly.
This guy was Xiao Taixuan of the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect. He hadn't witnessed the chaos in the Bright Moon Hotel just before. However, the great noise had also startled him. Therefore, he didn't want to stay in this building anymore.
Han Ying of the Heaven Secret Pavilion also came downstairs following Xiao Taixuan. They were Holy Son and Holy Virgin of their sects, respectively, and enjoyed their elaborate identities, so they couldn't stay in a chaotic place like this.
However, Xiao Taixuan's words had attracted the attention of everyone in the area.
Even Qin Ji, Elder Yun, and Elder Feng focused their gazes on Xiao Taixuan abruptly.
After stabilizing her injury, which wasn't too serious, Qin Ji asked while staring at Xiao Taixuan coldly, "Xiao Taixuan, say it clearly! Does this Exploding Heavens Faction come from the South Continent?" Her heart was filled with killing intent because of her deep hatred for Xu Que.
After all, Xu Que's actions had humiliated her and also ruined the long-lasting reputation of the Bright Moon Hotel. Therefore, she had to seek revenge against Xu Que!
Xiao Taixuan, shaking his head, snorted, "Qin Ji, you should know that I'm not the one who caused trouble in your Bright Moon Hotel! Are you going to vent your anger on me by talking to me like this?"
Hearing that, Qin Ji calmed down slightly by forcefully repressing her fury, then said calmly, "What Brother Xiao said is right, and I am sorry for my rudeness. Please tell me about this Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"Hehe, I also don't know this faction. I only know now that one person is creating trouble in the South Continent in the name of the Exploding Heavens Faction. The Mystery Land Trial is about to commence, but the South Continent is in chaos now; otherwise, I wouldn't have come back to the East Continent so suddenly!" Xiao Taixuan smiled slightly.
"Who is that?" Qin Ji asked in a low voice while squinting her eyes slightly.
Xiao Taixuan walked into the lobby from the stairway and yelled a name. "Duan Jiude!"
"What?"
All at once, everyone in the area, including Qin Ji, Elder Yun, and Elder Feng, was horrified, widening their eyes.
"My gosh! That's why that guy could act so arrogant! He was backed by Duan Jiude!"
"This is terrible! Duan Jiude is too…"
"Buddy, watch your mouth! One might dig his grave if they say the wrong thing!"
"Oh, right! That was close…"
Most rulers didn't dare to mention Duan Jiude's name. Therefore, people became speechless in fear that they would say something wrong.
Qin Ji and her people also stayed silent with gloomy faces.
Xiao Taixuan smiled slightly and stepped towards the gate, then said calmly, "Oh, by the way, Duan Jiude said he was a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction. He has an apprentice whose name is Xu Que. It's said that the two of them once ate a Roc of the North Sea. They even composed a poem for that bird. Now the Roc Tribe has turned against Duan Jiude and keeps pursuing him and his apprentice."
After saying that, Xiao Taixuan walked out of the Bright Moon Hotel and his figure disappeared slowly as he drifted away.
Hearing that, everyone in this area was speechless and dumbfounded, for they couldn't believe what they had just heard.
Is Duan Jiude claiming to be a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction?
Could it be that… the powerful and domineering Duan Jiude is still not the Faction Leader?
Moreover, he has an apprentice! My God! I've never heard that he had an apprentice!
More importantly, did he and his apprentice eat a bird of the North Sea?
This is way too unscrupulous! Didn't Duan Jiude became the sworn brother of the Roc Tribe decades ago? How could he eat a Roc in the blink of an eye?
He's too fickle!
…
While people were still dumbfounded by Xu Que's deeds in the Bright Moon Hotel, Xu Que appeared outside the city.
The teleportation destination of the Divine Escape Spell was always unstable. Each time, he would be teleported to somewhere random. It was lucky that the teleportation distance of each spell was small. After using over a dozen spells casually, he would always be teleported to a place outside the city.
However, when he had just landed on the ground, a great noise came from in front of him.
Many people were yelling and shouting loudly. Xu Que almost thought they were the pursuers from the Bright Moon Hotel. However, when he took a closer look, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips.
"Sh*t! Buttface, who did you provoke this time?"
Chapter 561: Dragon Soul Element
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que had just been in the Eastern Continent for one day, and he had already gotten himself into trouble.
In less than a day, he had gone to the Bright Moon Hotel three times and made himself an enemy of the Jiang family, Gong family, and the The Illusionary Flower & Moon Sect.
As soon as Xu Que landed, he found Buttface running towards him.
Buttface was very happy to see Xu Que and exclaimed, "Hurry up! Help me!"
Xu Que waved his hand and said, "This is your problem! I'm not going to help you out! Goodbye!"
"F*ck! I am your friend, how can you be so cold-hearted? By the way, I have something valuable, and if you help me, you can have some of it!" Buttface shouted.
Upon hearing this, Xu Que got excited and asked, "What kind of thing?"
"A piece of Dragon Soul Element that contains the Genuine Dragon Seal. With its help, there's a chance that you can master the Genuine Dragon Incantation!" Buttface said while taking out a ball of something that was shining with green light.
As soon as Buttface took it out, the Spiritual Qi around quickly gathered together, and Xu Que could even see a tiny dragon swimming around it.
"Holy sh*t! Where did you get that?!" Xu Que was surprised by what he saw.
What?! He's been here less than a day, and he found such a valuable thing?! How lucky!
"I happened to see it lying on the ground and just picked it up. You know what, when I was found carrying it, many people became jealous and began to chase me! How shameless they are! Like I said, if you help me, I'll let you have ten percent of it!" Buttface said.
"Deal!" Xu Que answered.
Only ten percent?! Nonsense, I'll have ninety percent of it!
At this moment, the group of people who were chasing after Buttface shouted, "What a shameless dog! It was you who stole it from our auction, how can you say you simply picked it up?!"
"What?! You stole it?!" Hearing this, Xu Que was speechless.
When the group of people saw Xu Que, they were surprised to find that Xu Que was in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. They immediately stopped and said, "Young man, I can tell you're an elite! Is that dog your pet? If so, please make it hand over the Dragon Soul Element."
Xu Que was a bit amused by their sudden change in attitude. Since there were also people in the Infant Transformation Stage in the group, there was no need to be so polite to him.
Clearly, elites were very respected by people here in the Eastern Continent.
Xu Que stared at Buttface and said angrily, "Fine, I'll make it hand over the Dragon Soul Element."
"Buttface, how dare you do this in broad daylight! I never thought you would lower yourself to a thief, and you stole such a valuable object! Now, give it back to them and apologize!"
Hearing this, the group of people were relieved and nodded.
Buttface held the Dragon Soul Element tightly and said resolutely, "No way! I stole it, so what?! If they want to get it back, why not let them steal it back?!"
"You're being ridiculous! It seems that I need to give you a good hit again!" Xu Que threatened, about to chant an incantation to tighten the collar on Buttface's neck.
Even so, Buttface was still holding the Dragon Soul Element tightly and trying to find a way to escape.
"Young man, please make your pet give the Dragon Soul Element back to us. The Dragon Soul Element belongs to the Jiang family and is being kept temporarily by us. If we cannot give it back to the Jiang family, they will be furious!"
"Yes! By that time, the Jiang Family would definitely hunt you down!"
Hearing this, Xu Que was furious. "Wait for a minute! You said the Dragon Soul Element belongs to the Jiang family?!"
If the Dragon Soul Element belongs to the Jiang family, I can't possibly give it back to them!
The group of people thought Xu Que had been terrified by the mere mention of the Jiang family.
"Yes, the Dragon Soul Element belongs to a powerful old man in the Jiang family. If you give it back to us and apologize to them, I believe they might just let you go!"
"Is this so-called Jiang family very powerful?!" Buttface asked.
Hearing this, the group of people sneered, "You are indeed an ignorant dog! The Jiang family is one the Four Families of the Eastern Continent. There aren't many people of the Form Synthesis Stage, and the Patriarch of the Jiang family is one of the few. You stealing the Dragon Soul Element is tantamount to asking for death!"
Hearing this, Buttface became terrified and instantly threw the Dragon Soul Element to Xu Que.
"Hurry up! Give it back to them and apologize! I don't have the balls to offend the Jiang family."
What the f*ck! How shameless you are! You want me to make the apology for you?! Xu Que was amazed by Buttface.
Anyway, since the Dragon Soul Element is in my hands, I couldn't possibly give it back to them! I've already offended the Jiang Family, there's nothing more to be afraid of.
"Nicely done! Buttface, thanks to you, I have something valuable. You'll get ten percent of it, I promise!" Xu Que laughed and put the Dragon Soul Element into the parcel of the System, then ran away.
Seeing this, both Buttface and the group of people were shocked.
What's going on?! One minute ago, he asked his pet to give the Dragon Soul Element back to us, and the next minute, he changed his mind?!
"Xu Que, f*ck you! Give it back to them!" Buttface shouted.
"No way! The entire Jiang family is my enemy, I cannot possibly give it back to them!" Xu Que laughed hard while running away.
As soon as he put the Dragon Soul Element into the parcel of the System, the System told him that there was around a sixty percent chance that he could master the low level incantations of the Star Rank, a fifty percent chance of mastering the middle level incantations of the Star Rank, and around a thirty percent chance he could master the high level incantations of the Star Rank.
Anyway, the Dragon Soul Element was definitely a valuable object.
Since Xu Que hadn't upgraded his System yet, he couldn't directly buy the book of incantations of the Star Rank from the System. Currently, there were a few books of that sort in his System that he had received from the Tribulation.
Thus, for him, the Dragon Soul Element was priceless.
"Even so, you shouldn't make yourself an enemy of the Jiang family. You know their leader is in the Form Synthesis Stage! Give it back to them, please!" Buttface begged him.
"No!"
"You should abide by the rules and the law! How can you possibly be a thief?!"
"I always abide by the law! I'm an elite of the Exploding Heavens Faction, never a thief! I simply took a valuable object away from them in the broad daylight."
"Holy sh*t! How shameless you are!"
Buttface was terribly upset!
Hearing this, the group of people were speechless.
This young man must be insane! He knows this object belongs to the Jiang family, and he still doesn't want to give it back to us?
Chapter 562: An Acquaintance Long Time no See

"Go back and tell the Jiang family that I am Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I robbed their stuff because I think well of them. If they aren't happy, they can come here and fight me!"
After leaving his domineering message, Xu Que turned around and left, dragging Buttface with him.
After all, he had only targeted the Jiang family, not the people of the auction house. It was unnecessary to kill them. Therefore, he left immediately after his robbery.
"Little brat, you'd better return it to them. This stuff is not simple, and it could bring us great trouble!" As cowardly as ever, Buttface thought it was too risky to keep the stolen object.
"Damn! Weren't you unwilling to compromise on the subject just now?" Xu Que replied disdainfully.
"I didn't know it belonged to a powerhouse in the Form Synthesis Stage! If I knew, why would I steal it?��� Buttface explained irrationally.
In fact, Buttface didn't want to follow Xu Que anymore, for Xu Que had just mentioned his name, which could offer his enemy the opportunity to seek revenge against him.
"If you're afraid, just leave!" Xu Que snorted.
"Damn! How could I be afraid? In addition, we've gone through hell and high water so many times. I know that we should share troubles! Oh, just set me free, your dragging is making me uncomfortable!" Buttface said nobly. However, he maintained a posture that would allow him to run away if Xu Que set him free.
"Buttface, don't worry! You can't run away from this issue. This stuff was stolen by you. When the people of the Jiang family come to me, I'll definitely sell you out!" Xu Que consoled him.
Buttface widened his eyes and nearly spat blood. "Damn! You give it to me, and I'll return it to the Jiang family personally!"
"Stop wasting your words! See, those people have long disappeared. It'd be useless to go back now!" he said with a smile, still moving forward.
Buttface turned around and found the people of the auction house who had been too slow to catch up with them had disappeared, as expected.
"How could that be useless? I still remember the location of their auction house. There's still time for me to return the stuff. As the saying goes, it's always better to have a friend than to have an enemy, let alone an enemy in the Form Synthesis Stage!" Buttface did his best to persuade Xu Que. It seemed cultivators in the Form Synthesis Stage were quite scary to him.
Xu Que was also confused that although Buttface was cowardly, he always talked big, as if he was unyielding. Why was he so afraid of cultivators in the Form Synthesis Stage?
"Buttface, let me tell you the truth! The Jiang family is hunting the Water Empress. Moreover, almost the entire East Continent is targeting the Water Empress! This time, I will punish several families. I'll kill anyone who targets the Water Empress!" Xu Que said with a faint smile. However, his serious eyes revealed that he wasn't joking.
Buttface was stunned, then said in surprise, "Little brat, this isn't who you are! You're always selfish, why are you behaving nobly this time?"
"Sh*t!" Xu Que hit Buttface's forehead with his hand directly.
The man and the dog kept quarreling on their way until they stopped at a desolated mountain.
After confirming no one was around, Xu Que landed on the ground and planned to check the magic arts hidden in the object he had taken.
Whoosh!
However, hardly had Xu Que released Buttface on the ground when Buttface escaped without any hesitation.
"Little brat, it's not that I'm disloyal to you! You're making yourself an enemy of the entire East Continent, which is a serious issue. Therefore, I'll look for people to help you!" Buttface explained as he ran crazily.
Xu Que decided to ignore Buttface. Buttface wasn't very helpful beside him anyway. It was just as well to let him go so that Xu Que could focus on searching for the Water Empress.
Xu Que opened the System interface. After several months of acting tough, he had accumulated over 80,000 Acting Tough Points!
It was a scary number. The 80,000 Acting Tough Points gave Xu Que the confidence to be bold and fearless in the East Continent.
However, the precondition was that he had to upgrade the System first.
After all, now he only had two Basic Star Rank magic arts and one Intermediate Star Rank magic art, which were the Genuine · Flame Devouring Wave, the Genuine · Six Corporeal Forms and the Genuine · Buddha's Fiery Lotus, respectively.
According to the fights in the Bright Moon Hotel, these three magic arts could make him invincible among cultivators in the Infant Transformation Stage. He could even fight with powerhouses at the top level of the Infant Transformation Stage with the Genuine · Buddha's Fiery Lotus. However, he was still quite vulnerable in front of cultivators in the Void Training Stage.
After all, he was just at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage. No matter how powerful the Genuine · Buddha's Fiery Lotus was, its destructive power was restricted by his cultivation level, which was too weak to defeat cultivators at the Void Training Stage.
Therefore, he had to obtain Advanced Star Rank magic arts so that he could challenge the powerhouses in the Void Training Stage.
Xu Que had obtained one Advanced Star Rank magic art, the Genuine · Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets. However, the prerequisite to learning this magic art was to learn the ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets.
The ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets could be obtained by luck. Two of the nine secrets had been lost, and therefore, the success rate of obtaining the ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets was always one in seven, which was quite low.
However, now that Xu Que had accumulated abundant Acting Tough Points, he didn't worry that he couldn't obtain the ordinary Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets through luck.
However, the Dragon Soul Element brought back by Buttface had aroused Xu Que's interest again.
With it, the possibility for him to acquire a Basic Star Rank magic art was sixty percent, the possibility for an Intermediate Star Rank magic art was fifty percent, and the possibility for an Advanced Star Rank magic art was thirty percent!
Xu Que was definitely attracted by the Advanced Star Rank magic art. Although the possibility was only thirty percent, he was ready to try his luck and enjoy the excitement!
"System, is there any method that can enhance the possibility of obtaining an Advanced Star Rank magic art?" Xu Que cautiously asked in advance.
Ding! "The host should upgrade the System to Version 5.0. The Lucky Aura will be activated, which could enhance the bonus possibility!" the System replied coldly.
Version 5.0?
Holy sh*t!
What an unscrupulous merchant you are!
Xu Que was annoyed immediately, for that was outrageous!
The version of the System he had was just 3.0. If he planned on purchasing Star Rank magic arts, he would have to spend 20,000 Acting Tough Points to upgrade the System to Version 4.0.
If he wanted to activate the Lucky Aura, he had to upgrade the System again, which would cost him at least 40,000 Acting Tough Points!
In other words, Xu Que had to spend 60,000 Acting Tough Points altogether if he wanted to enhance the possibility of obtaining Advanced Star Rank magic arts.
Only a fool would do that!
"No, never! I'd rather draw the Nine Secrets!" Xu Que rejected immediately. Then he put away the Dragon Soul Element and entered the Heaven Rank magic art area of the System Store.
The Nine Secrets (Remnant Paper)
Because the Secret of Arrive and the Secret of Count have been lost, the remaining seven secrets can be obtained through random selection. One secret may be obtained repeatedly in repetitive purchases!
Price: 200 Acting Tough Points!
"I have to spend 200 Acting Tough Points every time, and the success rate is one in seven. I don't think I could miss it!"
Xu Que smiled and started to purchase the Nine Secrets.
Once the Secret of All was obtained, he could master an Advanced Star Rank magic art, which could multiply his strength in combat tenfold at the percentage of one hundred percent.
"Howl, little brat, help me! A she devil is chasing me!" However, Buttface's hysterical voice sounded suddenly from nearby at this moment.
Xu Que was stunned, then he closed the System interface and looked around, following the voice.
He saw Buttface, who was being dragged by someone, dashing towards him.
The one who was dragging Buttface was a lady with a perfect figure. Moreover, the lady was an acquaintance of Xu Que's whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Chapter 563: Little Que Que
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The young woman was extremely beautiful!
Her skin was as clean as a piece of flawless jade, her two long legs were as white as the snow, and her entire body was rather curvy!
At the same time, she was smiling in a very seductive way. Any man who saw her would throw himself at her!
Even Xu Que was attracted by her, but quickly, he calmed down.
This young woman was the Ice Queen of the Water Nation…
"Ha! We meet again!" Liu Jingning caught Buttface by his neck and slowed down.
Seeing this, Xu Que's expression became rather gloomy, and he didn't say anything at all.
Liu Jingning frowned and suddenly burst into laughter. "Xu Que, I'm not your enemy, there's no need to be so alert!"
"Ow! Xu Que, stop watching her and help me!" Buttface shouted.
Still, Xu Que was wearing a rather serious face.
Seeing him, Liu Jingning was a bit surprised. She had never thought Xu Que would behave like this towards her!"
She shook her head and said, "You're still too young and too naive! I have no bad intentions, so there's really no need to be like this."
Hearing this, Buttface was amazed.
"Nonsense! You're the one who's being naive! He's looking at your private parts! If you let me go, I can promise you that I will make him suffer!"
F*ck! Buttface, why do you always have to speak the truth! Give me a few more minutes and I would have known the color of the panties she's wearing!
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. She looked at Xu Que and found him staring at her private parts!
Liu Jingning wasn't mad by this, instead, she gently waved her hand, and the next minute, the hemline of her dress covered her long white legs.
She then looked at Xu Que and smiled.
"I never thought you were such a little dirty young man!"
Hearing this, Xu Que sneered, "You're such a trickster! Thankfully, I'm a man with a strong mind, otherwise, I would have already been seduced by you!"
Liu Jingning was speechless and a bit cross.
She had met many people and gone to many places, but she had never seen someone who was as shameless as Xu Que.
Damn!
"Xu Que, help me! I cannot breath now!" Buttface stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes, pretending he was about to die.
Xu Que was amused and laughed. "You said you would bring me some helpers, and now you're asking me to help you out?"
"I never knew I would bump into her! You can't possibly laugh at me!" Buttface shouted angrily.
"Don't be ridiculous! I guess you must have been caught by her, and she must have asked you my whereabouts, and you immediately told her for your own sake! Am I right?!" Xu Que sneered.
Hearing this, Buttface was so surprised that his eyes were wide open. He never thought Xu Que knew him so well.
Liu Jingning landed onto the ground. She wasn't feeling tired. Rather, she felt a bit uncomfortable with Xu Que staring at her private parts while she was floating in the air.
Although she had made the hemline of her dress stick closely to her legs, Xu Que was still staring at her private parts.
Liu Jingning loosened her hand and smiled at Xu Que.
"Little thing, aren't you curious why I came to find you?"
"Don't call me little thing! I have a huge thing in my pants! Let me guess, you came to see me because you were attracted by my handsome face, and you aren't the first one! Well, I think we should call it a day, goodbye!" Xu Que said and turned around, about to leave.
Yes, Liu Jingning was a beautiful woman, but Xu Que's mind was currently occupied by the Water Empress, so he didn't want to waste his time on her.
Liu Jingning laughed gently and said, "Jiang Hongyan has left a message for you, and she asked me to deliver it to you. Are you sure you really want to leave without hearing it?"
"What?!" Xu Que turned around quickly. "She asked you to deliver a message to me?! You must be lying!"
"The Eastern Continent is such a huge continent. If I was lying, how would I know you promised Jiang Hongyan you would meet her in the Bright Moon Hotel in the Tian Luo City?"
Suddenly, Liu Jingning laughed, "But you do surprise me. You're much more powerful than when I saw you just a few months ago, you even turned the Bright Moon Hotel upside down!"
"Ditto! In just a few months, you're already in the Void Training Stage!" Xu Que said, surprised.
After all, even for Liu Jingning, stepping into the Void Training Stage in just a few months was unbelievable.
"Haha! I'm in the Void Training Stage, but when I went to the Water Nation, I deliberately asked someone to conceal part of my power. If I concealed most of my power in the very first place, I would have probably been caught by a little thing like you back in the Water Empress' bedroom in the Water Nation," Liu Jingning smiled.
"I've told you, don't call me little thing! You'll regret it if you call me that one more time," Liu Jingning smiled.
"I'm the same age as Jiang Hongyan. If she can call you that, why can't I?"
"I said you couldn't! Period!"
Apart from the Water Empress, no one else can call me little thing!
Hearing this, Liu Jingning covered her mouth with her hand and couldn't help but laugh.
She looked at Xu Que and smiled. "How about I call you Little Que Que?"
Xu Que was terribly disgusted. This woman is really something! She must very experienced with flirting, especially with young men!
"So, you don't mind?! Great! From now on, I'll call you 'little Que Que.'"
"By the way, Jiang Hongyan is in a very critical situation now, so she asked me to tell you that you don't need to wait for her at the Bright Moon Hotel. As soon as the Mystery Land Trial in the South Continent starts, she will show herself."
"I see!"
This is also what I've been hearing. Yes, Liu Jingning is right, this is a very critical moment for the Water Empress. Although she's in the ninth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, with so many powerful men from all those influential Families and Factions searching for her, she couldn't possibly beat them!
"She also said you should keep a low profile here and not get yourself into any trouble. But as far as I've seen, you've already gotten yourself into enough trouble!" Liu Jingning smiled.
Chapter 564: A Destructive Woman
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que believed most of Liu Jingning's words, for what she said was almost identical to the Water Empress' s instructions.
However, Xu Que didn't want to waste his time there, no matter whether the things Liu Jingning told him were real or fake.
Although the Water Empress said she couldn't come to him, it didn't mean he couldn't find her. He knew the Water Empress was in great danger now. Almost everyone in the East Continent was hunting her.
Moreover, she was about to cross the Heavenly Tribulation. If someone attacked her while she was crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Xu Que grew quite anxious. He folded his hands towards Liu Jingning and said, "I have received the message. I really appreciate your help, see you next time!"
After that, he turned around and was about to leave with Buttface to check the whereabouts of the Water Empress.
The reason that he hadn't asked Liu Jingning was that he was quite sure this woman was cautious with her speech, and he wouldn't get useful information from her, which had been proven in the Water Nation. Therefore, this time he left decidedly.
However, Xu Que's actions greatly disappointed Liu Jingning.
She was one of the most beautiful women in the East Continent. Her beauty was no worse than that of the Water Empress. Only the temperament and styles of the two were different.
Xu Que was concerned about the Water Empress, but had chosen to keep his distance from Liu Jingning. He didn't even want to speak with her patiently and was always anxious to get away from her, which made her quite unhappy.
"Little Queque, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet," Liu Jingning said with a smile on her face and a cunning glint in her eyes.
Xu Que had to stop again and furrowing his eyebrows, said, "What else did Hongyan say?"
"She entrusted another two tasks to me! First, she asked me to take care of you and prevent you from causing trouble!" Liu Jingning said while holding one of her jade-like fingers up.
"What about the second task?" Xu Que asked.
"Do you want to know?"
"Yes, just say it!"
"I don't want to tell you!"
This is absolutely… making me angry!
Xu Que twitched the corner of his lips instantly. If he was strong enough, he would have punished Liu Jingning severely by holding her on the ground and spanking her!
"If you want to know, follow me to the South Continent. You should be nice and obey my orders along the way. You can't make trouble. You should buy me delicious foods, and you should praise my beauty…" Liu Jingning listed her conditions while counting her fingers.
"Bye!" Xu Que turned around and left without hesitating!
Are you kidding me? You should show me due respect!
Do you still want me to obey your orders, stop making trouble, buy you delicious foods, and even praise your beauty?
What more do you want?
"Little brat, you're awesome! I agree with you this time!" Buttface expressed his support by following Xu Que.
"We should keep a low profile!" Xu Que patted Buttface's head. Then he dragged his collar and jumped into the sky with lightning under his feet.
Liu Jingning was dumbfounded, for all her plans had been foiled. Seeing Xu Que and Buttface leave, she was very angry and couldn't help stomping her feet.
"Hum! What a detestable guy you are! How dare you treat me like this? Later, I'll tell Jiang Hongyan that you looked at my underwear! It's impossible for you to just leave like this!" she murmured to herself bitterly, then she also jumped into the sky and started to chase after Xu Que.
…
When Xu Que saw Liu Jingning behind him, he turned around and shouted at her, "Hey, we're acquaintances, but could you stop following me?"
Liu Jingning's face was gloomy. Apparently, she was sulking. She didn't reply and kept following Xu Que.
With Xu Que's support, Buttface started to utter harsh words arrogantly. "She devil, did you hear that? Don't follow us, or I'll smash you with my palm!"
His words were also ignored by Liu Jingning, who continued to follow them quietly.
"Little brat, she can't follow us like this! Just use your spell to get away from this she devil!" Buttface suggested.
"Good idea!" Xu Que nodded immediately. What he wanted to do now was find a quiet place and obtain the Secret of All of the Nice Secrets. Then he could learn the Star Rank Genuine · Secret of All of the Nine Secrets, so that he could challenge the powerhouses in the Void Training Stage!
Liu Jingning, who realized that Xu Que was about to run away with the escape spell, said immediately, "Little brat, you will regret it if you run away now! The second task entrusted by Jiang Hongyan is related to the Mystery Land Trail in the South Continent. She'll need your help then. She'll meet you at a hidden entrance. Don't you want to know where?"
Xu Que stopped his movements instantly and while furrowing his eyebrows, said, "Then tell me!"
"No, I won't tell you!" Liu Jingning said triumphantly as if she had found Xu Que's weakness.
"Holy sh*t! You're as stubborn as a dog!" Xu Que went crazy with anger.
"What?" Hearing the word "dog," Buttface confusedly thought that he was involved in this issue.
Two people and a dog kept flying forward in the sky.
After pondering it, Xu Que turned around and shouted, "Do you really want to follow me? Okay, no problem! However, you should be nice and obey my orders on the way. And you should praise my handsomeness. In this way, I might treat you with noodles I cooked!"
Liu Jingning immediately became embarrassed.
It wasn't because she had figured out the metaphor of "cooking noodles", but that Xu Que had restated almost all of her conditions!
"You arrogant little brat, even though you're still young, you're quite overbearing!" Liu Jingning sneered.
"If you don't like it, just leave us!" Xu Que replied domineeringly.
Then, he looked at Buttface and said triumphantly, "Buttface, you see, this is a so-called charming personality! Such a gorgeous girl always wants to follow me shamelessly. Alas, I am tired of being handsome!"
Shaking his head, Buttface said disdainfully, "Don't be silly. The she devil is definitely up to something!"
"You're telling me! Even a stupid dog like you could figure it out. How could I not figure it out?" Xu Que replied disdainfully.
He couldn't drive Liu Jingning away, as she insisted on following them. Xu Que had long suspected that.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a sharp, air-rending sound came from behind them.
Liu Jingning increased her speed and caught up with Xu Que instantly. After standing beside Xu Que, she said amorously with a smile, "Little Que Que!"
"My gosh, sister, please don't do that!" Xu Que almost fell down. This woman was really good at flirting with men!
Almost no man could resist her tempting eyes and tone.
Xu Que remembered a famous movie, A Chinese Odyssey, from his past life. In this movie, Zixia Fairy had winked and smiled at Joker, which had been impressive, and it was almost as tempting as Liu Jingning's posture.
"Little Que Que, you said I could follow you if I was nice, obeyed your orders, and praised your handsomeness on the way, right? That's no problem for me!" After saying this, Liu Jingning started to snigger flirtatiously, which was tempting.
Xu Que got goosebumps immediately. Even he declared himself to be a womanizer, so he almost yielded to the temptation.
The main reason was that Liu Jingning was too beautiful and elegant. The words uttered by an ordinary woman wouldn't have been as destructive!
"Little Que Que, you are so handsome!
"Little Que Que, you are really awesome!
"Little Que Que, I really adore you!
"Little Que Que, could you slow down a bit? I can't keep up with you!
"Little Que Que, please be gentle to me, don't be so brutal…"
"Oh, my God! I can't take it anymore. You're just my sister, okay? Please stop. You win this time! I will follow you to the South Continent. Please just close your mouth and stop talking!"
Chapter 565: What a Lewd Woman
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
For the very first time since Xu Que had come to the Cultivation World, he was terrified.
He was always the one flirting with others, not the other way around. He almost went insane with Liu Jingning flirting with him.
While Liu Jingning was talking in a very girlish and seductive way, Xu Que got goosebumps all over his body.
If it weren't for Xu Que's strong mind, he would have already ejaculated, like any other normal man would under this situation.
Xu Que took out a black cloak and covered his genitals, since he was hard now!
This time, he had no choice but to give in to Liu Jingning, if he didn't do so, he would definitely go mad, since he had been trying incredibly hard to suppress his sexual urges.
"Little Que Que, you don't like my voice?
"Why did you cover yourself with a black cloak, are you feeling cold?
"I can give you a hug if you are cold. The last thing I would want is you getting cold."
Liu Jingning's eyes were full of love…
"My god! If you say one more word, I will f*ck you and I won't stop until you beg me to stop!" Xu Que shouted.
"You're really bad, don't say such things," Liu Jingning laughed.
This was what Liu Jingning had wanted, to see Xu Que lose control of himself.
Xu Que grew angry and could no longer suppress his anger.
"Buttface, let's move down!" Xu Que said and kicked Buttface to the ground.
Then, he quickly moved to Liu Jingning and put his both hands around her slim waist.
"I've done more than you could know, but I've never f*cked anyone in the air!"
Liu Jingning was stunned by his speed.
Slap!
Xu Que harshly slapped on her butt.
"You…" Liu Jingning was a bit cross.
"You flirted with me first!" Xu Que raised his hand and was about to hit on her backside again, but this time, he failed to do so.
After all, Liu Jingning was already in Level 8 of the Void Training Stage.
Suddenly, her whole body began to shine and gave off a fragrant smell. The next minute, her body began to slowly fade away and transformed into many petals before vanishing at last.
The next minute, Liu Jingning appeared behind Xu Que and giggled, "You are really a bad little man, you hurt me."
Xu Que laughed a bit and suddenly lightning appeared beneath his feet. He intended to summon his thunder illusion body so he could trap Liu Jingning.
Liu Jingning instantly backed up and smiled. "Enough!"
"It's too late!" Xu Que sneered and vanished.
Then he appeared behind Liu Jingning and practiced the incantation of Killer God's Single Stroke.
Bang!
Xu Que made a ball of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the ball of lightning broke and formed a chain of lightning that quickly swam towards Liu Jingning like a snake.
Liu Jingning was shocked and began to practice an incantation to run away.
Unfortunately, she was trapped by the lightning, and the True Core Strength inside her failed to respond, which made her fail to perform any incantation.
"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation?!"
Liu Jingning was terrified, never having entertained the thought Xu Que could manage to make the Heavenly Tribulation on his own.
Anyone who knew about this would certainly be frightened to death.
Bang!
Xu Que slapped on her butt again.
"Stop! You…" Liu Jingning was furious, since it was the first time she had been treated like this. When she had gone to the Water Nation and disguised herself as the Empress of the Water Nation, she had never flirted with any other men. At that time, the late Emperor of the Water Nation had tried to make out with her, but she had tried everything she could to keep her distance from him to keep her virtue intact.
Now, she had been spanked twice by a young man who was only in the Infant Transformation Stage, which made her furious.
Bang!
Xu Que slapped her butt again and left his hand on her butt.
"Tell me, do you feel sorry for what you did earlier?"
"How dare you treat me like this! Let me go!"
Bang!
"Promise me you'll never, ever flirt with me again!"
"Xu Que, let me go! I don't want to hurt you! Just let me go!"
Bang!
"Promise you won't be this naughty again!"
"You…"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Upon seeing this, Buttface, who was on the ground, was stunned.
Earlier, when he had been kicked down onto the ground, he was filled with anger, but after he saw Xu Que slapping Liu Jingning's butt, he was completely stunned.
"Xu Que, what you did was really impressive!" Buttface exclaimed.
A young man in the Infant Transformation Stage was spanking a powerful woman who was in Level 8 of the Void Training Stage, a scene that would freak anyone out!
Still, Xu Que knew that Liu Jingning could easily escape the restrictions of the lightning. It could only trap Liu Jingning for a short while. If Liu Jingning practiced a powerful incantation, he would be in danger.
However, Xu Que had an ace card, the Divine Tracking Emblem. He had made up his mind that as long as Liu Jingning practiced an incantation, he would immediately run away with the help of the Divine Tracking Emblem. That was why he had been bold enough to do this.
Liu Jingning didn't practice an incantation. Instead, she even stopped fighting back and fell into Xu Que, hugging him.
Seeing this, Xu Que disabled his incantation and said, "Promise me you'll never flirt with me again!"
"I promise!" Liu Jingning was blushing, feeling both angry and mortified.
"Next time you dare to flirt with me, I'll really f*ck you! I have plenty of ways to make you suffer!" Xu Que sneered and let her go.
Liu Jingning quickly backed away, still blushing and panting. She stared at Xu Que and said nothing at all.
At last, Xu Que was sure that Liu Jingning had come to see him with no bad intentions at all, since she could have easily hurt him when she was so close to him, but she hadn't done so.
However, this didn't mean that Liu Jingning wasn't planning anything, and Xu Que was sure that Liu Jingning must have had something in mind.
"Great! It's my turn now!" He turned around and looked at Liu Jingning, who was still angry.
He smiled at her and began to act cute.
"Young lady! You are so beautiful!
"Young lady! I admire you!
"Young lady, please don't be angry with me! You'll grow wrinkles if you're angry.
"Young lady! I'm frightened by your angry face. You can suck my d*ck if you want!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. Her mind went blank and goosebumps erupted all over her.
Chapter 566: Bad Luck!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Little sister, please give me a hug!" Xu Que pouted as if he was a baby, then spread his arms as he flew towards Liu Jingning.
Whoosh!
Immediately, Liu Jingning felt her blood freeze and almost wanted to hit someone, but she still instantly flew hundreds of feet away. Her eyes were full of shock.
"You… What are you going to do? Stay away from me!" She was quite vigilant this time so she could prevent Xu Que from touching her in other ways!
Seeing this, Buttface, who was on the ground, was dumbfounded again!
"Little brat, are you crazy? Damn, that's disgusting!" Buttface couldn't take it anymore and pretended to vomit.
After all, not everyone's flirting was destructive!
Liu Jingning was a charming, natural beauty. Therefore, all her coquettish actions were beautiful and destructive to him.
However, although Xu Que was gentle and polite, his flirting was abominable, making him look like the cheapest man in history. Even the cowardly Buttface was planning on beating him.
Xu Que stopped when he thought he got revenge against Liu Jingning, then looked at her with a smile and said, ��Okay, that's enough. Let's get down to business! Which way should we go now?"
Looking at Xu Que confusedly and vigilantly, Liu Jingning kept her distance from him and while pointing at a far place, said, "We should head south!"
"That way leads to the South Continent, but I don't want to go there now, so I'm not going your way. Just stop following us!" Xu Que said, shaking his head.
"Where are you going? If you don't go to the South Continent, I won't go, either!" Liu Jingning replied directly.
She had figured out Xu Que's plan to find Jiang Hongyan, but she didn't want to point it out.
Xu Que smiled, "If you follow me, you'll definitely get into trouble!"
"I know you'll get into trouble, and that's why I have to follow you! Let me tell you the truth, Jiang Hongyan trusted me to protect you. Before, I only promised to deliver the message for her, and I didn't plan to protect you all the way. However, I've just decided to do that, and I'll keep following you, even if you don't like it," Liu Jingning said with a cunning smile!
At this moment, her stubbornness and charm were revealed at the same time, which made her extremely beautiful. No one could deny that Liu Jingning was a charming woman, characterized by her high IQ and EQ!
The more Xu Que refused to let her follow him, the more she insisted on following them. Her stubbornness was quite like that of Xu Que.
However, Xu Que wasn't willing to cooperate with her, because it was too dangerous and not difficult to figure out her true intentions. If Xu Que wasn't careful enough, he would easily fall into her trap.
For dealing with these kind of people, Xu Que had only one method, which was to ignore her and stay aloof!
"Buttface, let's go!" Xu Que ignored Liu Jingning and left with Buttface.
On the way, Liu Jingning said nothing and just followed them closely. She was staring at Xu Que's back thoughtfully with a faint smile on her face.
Buttface kept looking at Xu Que with his shiny eyes to express his endless reverence, because Xu Que, who had just spanked Liu Jingning's butt, was so intimidating.
Buttface claimed he also wanted to learn that so that he could use it to deal with female dragons in future!
Xu Que was delighted, but he refused Buttface seriously, shaking his head, then said earnestly, "We should take care of and give tender love to ladies. We should never beat women! What a lousy man you are! Oh no, you're a lousy dog!
Buttface immediately became annoyed. You said we should take care of and give tender love to ladies, right? Then what did you do just now?
Liu Jingning, who was following them, also heard Xu Que's words. Her smile froze abruptly, then she snorted.
She said nothing, but the charming smile returned to her face after a short while.
…
The two people and the dog kept moving forward for over two hours. Finally, an ancient city in the distance came into their sights!
A huge platform was located on the outskirts of the ancient city, on which a group of cultivators gathered, exclaiming from time to time.
"Eh, what are they doing?" Buttface asked in surprise.
Xu Que was also slightly confused, because those people looked a bit like street gamblers from Earth!
"Little Que Que, do you want to go and check it out? Perhaps you can cause some trouble again, so I can protect you!" said Liu Jingning, who was behind them. She was smiling, her eyes full of cunning.
Xu Que immediately became vigilant.
She actively asked me to check it out! It must be a conspiracy!
But! I know clearly who I am as a Tough-Acting King! Nothing can terrify a Tough-Acting King!
Do you think a Tough-Acting King could be terrified by some words?
"Buttface, you go see what's going on!" Xu Que asked Buttface to scout ahead immediately!
Buttface felt his blood freeze instantly, so he shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm not a dragon who likes to socialize too much, let's just keep going!"
"Well, I'm also not a nosy man, so let's just keep going!" Xu Que said, nodding.
"Good, then it's decided!" Buttface also nodded his head. He struck a chord with Xu Que to keep out of the issue.
Liu Jingning's heart was dancing with delight. A smile grew on her face.
She had said that deliberately to make Xu Que unsure so he would stay away from the trouble, but she hadn't expected Xu Que to be so shameless by working out a justified excuse for not cooperating with Buttface.
Still, she was pleased with the results. At least Xu Que wouldn't get involved in unnecessary trouble!
At the same time, they were flying over the crowd on the platform. Below them, a large group of people were busy cutting at a giant stone.
Hardly had a crack appeared in the stone when the crowd began to shout.
"Wow, look at the color, maybe there is a treasure in the stone!"
"It's green, crystal clear, and full of Spiritual Qi. It's certainly something precious!"
"See, runes are flowing in it. Along with the time-honored stone, there must be an ancient treasure inside!"
"No wonder they're disciples of the Heaven Secret Pavilion. Their luck and vision are so good! They have every right to participate in tonight's Stone-Cutting Convention while representing the Heaven Secret Pavilion!"
"Congratulations!"
…
In the sky, after hearing those exclamations and watching the scene below, Xu Que was immediately startled.
Damn! Are these people betting on stones?
He was familiar with it, because on Earth, there had been such gambling activity. First, the gambler would spend money to buy stones that were favored, then the stones would be cut. If high quality jade was found inside the stones, the gambler would make big money. However, if low quality material or nothing was found inside the stone, the gambler would lose all the money spent on the stones.
But according to the reactions of the people down there, something precious must had been found.
"Little brat, it seems like they found something good! Should we rob them?" Buttface asked submissively. It seemed like he was quite interested in the item.
"I'm not interested!" Xu Que shook his head.
He didn't want to make trouble temporarily. His plan was to enter the ancient city first and find a place to settle down, then purchase the Secret of All. If he was lucky enough, he could also open the Dragon Soul Element.
Liu Jingning kept staring at Xu Que's back from behind. After hearing his reply of "I'm not interested," she let out a sigh of relief.
Among the cultivators below them, there were not only people of the Heaven Secret Pavilion, but also disciples of many big families and sects. If Xu Que really went down to cause trouble, he would soon become the public enemy of the East Continent, like Jiang Hongyan.
Whoosh!
At just this moment, in the crowd below, a man cut the surface layer of the stone directly with a jade knife.
His actions attracted everyone's attention. Xu Que and Buttface also couldn't help taking a closer look.
Before everyone could see what was in the stone, as the surface layer of the stone was peeled off, a green light flashed before the onlookers' eyes and shot into the sky abruptly.
Patter!
Thanks to his sharp eyes and deft hands, Xu Que grabbed the green light which was flying towards him with his palm.
If he didn't do that, he would be hit by that green light.
Swish!
All of a sudden, the crowd below went silent. Everyone looked up and fixed their eyes on Xu Que and the green light in his hand!
"B*stard, how dare you steal my things? Return it to me quickly!" the man who had cut the stone with a jade knife said angrily as he coldly stared at Xu Que.
Almost at the exact same time, several elders in the Infant Transformation Stage jumped into the sky from the platform, then shouted at Xu Que with a gloomy face, "How dare you steal a treasure from the stone quarry of the Jiang family? Get down here!"
Xu Que became speechless at this moment. Buttface was also completely shocked.
Liu Jingning was completely dumbfounded!
As she looked at Xu Que, the unspoken words in her eyes were you poor kid!
After all, she had never expected Xu Que, who was unlucky, to be mistaken for a robber when they passed a stone quarry, even after Xu Que refused to make trouble.
What was even more unfortunate was that this stone quarry belonged to the Jiang family!
Chapter 567: Shut Up!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing Xu Que accidently get himself into trouble again, Liu Jingning frowned and looked at the stone quarry.
There were many cultivators coming from influential Families and Factions, most of them in the Original Infant Stage, while the six old men who were guarding the stone quarry were all in the Infant Transformation Stage, and most of them were from the Jiang family.
Meanwhile, these people were all staring at Xu Que and criticizing him.
Xu Que was wearing a rather indifferent look, a look that made Liu Jingning worried. The next minute, Liu Jingning quickly moved in front of Xu Que, trying to prevent Xu Que from getting himself into trouble again.
"Everyone, this is just a misunderstanding!" Liu Jingning's voice echoed in the air.
People in the stone quarry immediately felt her powerful energy and realized Liu Jingning was in the Void Training Stage.
"The Void Training Stage?"
Everyone was shocked and quickly backed off.
A man who recognized Liu Jingning exclaimed, "My goodness! She's the Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction!"
"Why is she here?"
The old men of the Jiang Family frowned.
"I think she came with that young man!"
"She's backing that young man up?"
…
In fact, the Utmost Happiness Faction's reputation wasn't as good here in the Eastern Continent. It was a rather big faction, but honestly speaking, it was an evil one.
An old man from the Jiang family walked out and said in a low voice, "I'm Jiang Tianhai. It's really nice for you to pay us a visit! I'm wondering, why have you come here?"
The old man wasn't very happy, but still, he didn't dare to offend Liu Jingning.
Xu Que never knew Liu Jingning was so famous here in the Eastern Continent, and he immediately knew the so-called Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction was a virtuous title simply by the sound of it.
Liu Jingning said, "Everyone, there's really no need to be so nervous. We come with no bad intentions at all. This young man is just a friend of mine, and we happened to end up here. We were a bit curious earlier seeing you chipping the stone. We don't mean to take anything away from you, you've misunderstood us."
"Misunderstood?!"
Hearing this, several old men of the Jiang family were unhappy, and everyone else, including the stone-chipping man who had come from the Heaven Secret Pavilion, frowned.
One old man from the Jiang family walked forward and said in a low voice, "Saint Liu, if you call this a misunderstanding, does it mean that anyone else can take our things at his own will? If what happened today is heard by others, the reputation we established so far would be tarnished!"
Liu Jingning smiled. "I told you, this is simply a misunderstanding! This young man is still very inexperienced. Earlier, that thing came out from the stone and flew directly at him, so he caught it as anyone would in that situation. He didn't mean to take it away from you!"
No one in the stone quarry made a sound.
In fact, there was a rule in the stone quarry, which was that no one should ever touch anything that came out of the stone, and anyone who did it would be considered a robber!
Normally, anyone who broke this rule would be punished, but after hearing Liu Jingning's defense, the old men were hesitant.
After all, Liu Jingning was in the Void Training Stage and as the saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction, they knew that it wouldn't do them any good to offend her.
An old man of the Jiang Family broke the silence with a low voice, "Well, I believe that what you said is true, this is indeed a mistake! But… this young man has still broken the rules. Please ask him to hand the object in his hand back to us and make an apology to the Jiang family, as well as the owner of the stone, otherwise, we cannot possibly let him go."
Hearing this, the rest of people nodded, as did Liu Jingning.
In her view, what the old man had said was quite reasonable, and she didn't want Xu Que to get himself into trouble again.
"Little Que Que, give it back to them and make an apology, there's no need to make this business more serious than it should be," Liu Jingning smiled at Xu Que.
"Give it back to them and make an apology?" Xu Que sneered, "Why I have to do that?"
Hearing this, Liu Jingning's smile froze.
Oh man! He's angry now!
Xu Que turned around and sneered at the people on the ground.
"Yes, I can give it back to you, but why should I make an apology?! Earlier, I was flying and it almost hit me, so don't you think it's you who should really make an apology to me?"
Everyone was shocked.
This young man is insane, far too arrogant!
Does he really want to make himself an enemy of the Jiang family?!
Liu Jingning hurriedly said, "Xu Que, calm down! If you hadn't caught that thing, they couldn't possibly have accused of you breaking their rules…"
"F*ck the rules!" Xu Que rolled his eyes. He glared at the several old men and sneered, "Let me tell you! I also have rules! You almost hurt me earlier, and if you don't apologize to me, I won't give it back to you!"
"How dare you!" the men said altogether.
Their faces were rather gloomy, and they were furious at Xu Que's words. Clearly, Xu Que was challenging the authority of the Jiang family.
If we can't sort this business out, once people from other families hear about this, the Jiang family will become a laughing stock, and we'll surely be punished severely by the Jiang family!
"Saint Liu, is this how you call a 'misunderstanding'?!"
"I know you come from the Utmost Happiness Faction, but even so, you couldn't possibly humiliate us like this! Do you really think we're all Mr. Soft?!"
"Let me tell you two, we aren't done yet!" the old men said angrily.
Liu Jingning was terribly upset and said to Xu Que, "Xu Que, don't talk to them that way! Now apologize to them!"
Hearing this, Xu Que instantly became furious.
I've never ever been treated so unfairly! F*ck the Jiang Family! I'm not afraid of them at all!
"Liu Jingning, shut up! This has nothing to do with you. I never want anything to do with the Utmost Happiness Faction!" Xu Que shouted.
The people present were stunned.
My goodness! How dare he talk to her like this?! She's the saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction, a powerful woman in the Void Training Stage!
The saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction has always been a tough figure. How dare you, a young man in the Infant Transformation Stage, talk to her like that?!
Chapter 568: If You Don't Apologize, I Will Kill You!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Suddenly, the expression of all the people in the stone quarry became strange.
Someone was doubtful and thought Xu Que might have had an unfathomably impressive background; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to treat the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction so rudely.
Someone else was gloating and anticipated seeing how this legendary cruel Holy Virgin would punish such an ignorant and arrogant figure.
However, the result surprised everyone.
Liu Jingning wasn't angry but while shaking her head, said to Xu Que calmly, "Don't do that, calm down!"
She was a very clever woman, so she could understand Xu Que's words.
Xu Que was planning to deal with the matters on his own. Therefore, he was trying to prevent the Utopia Faction from getting involved in this issue by siding against Liu Jingning.
"I'm very calm!" Xu Que said with a smile, then looked down abruptly, his eyes full of disobedience and arrogance.
He was stubborn by nature, and he was by no means a man restricted by rules.
Besides, his bad temper had been shaped in the Five Elements Mountain. How could it be changed in the East Continent?
The so-called rules were established by powerhouses. Whether the rules were obeyed or not was dependent on an individual's strength!
Looking down at the confused crowd, Xu Que sneered, "Now listen! This woman, including her Utopia Faction, have nothing to do with me. Today, let me settle this issue with you by myself!"
Insolent! He's too insolent!
Everyone in the stone quarry was shocked.
The same one who dared to disrespect the Holy Virgin of the Utopia Faction and behave insolently must have had an unfathomable background!
However, it seemed like no organizations in the World of Cultivators would dare to disrespect the Utopia Faction and the Jiang family like this!
Could it be that he had come from an ancient secluded sect?
However, several elders of the Jiang Family were sneering!
Even if this young man was an apprentice of a secluded ancient sect, the Jiang family would still not be terrified by his background.
"Since you want to settle this issue alone, please state your name. We'll see whether you're qualified to settle this issue!" Jiang Tianhai said with a smile as he stared at Xu Que.
The Jiang family was emboldened to demand such things!
Seeing the situation escalate beyond her control, Liu Jingning could do nothing but act as an onlooker.
At the same time, with coldness shining in his eyes, Xu Que sneered, "I'm Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Xu is the Xu from Xu Que, and I don't know how to write Que! Is that clear?"
Everyone was instantly stunned.
Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction? And you don't know how to write Que?
Damn! Are you illiterate?
Liu Jingning was also shocked, then she shook her head wryly. Xu Que had even cracked a joke at this moment, which meant he was calm!
However, this was too much!
A calm person who chose to do such an impulsive thing was absolutely a bad*ss.
"The Exploding Heavens Faction? I've never heard of it!" The elders of the Jiang family shook their heads disdainfully.
As soon as people hear this vulgar and arrogant name, they'll know it's not a powerful organization!
"I don't care if you've ever heard of it, but the point is, you must apologize! As a liberal, I'll give you two options: you can apologize to me, then I'll return the thing to you, or you don't apologize, and I'll kill all of you immediately!" After finishing his words, Xu Que started to smile coldly, as if he was eager to give it a try!
If we don't apologize, you'll kill all of us immediately, right?
Hearing that, all people in the stone quarry were in chaos!
This guy is way too arrogant!
Someone who wanted to flatter the Jiang family seized the opportunity immediately by sneering at Xu Que, "Young man, are you insane?"
"You're just in Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, still not top-level, so how could you talk so big here? This is ridiculous!" the elder of the Jiang family smiled like he had seen a fool!
"You're the first person who has dared to say these kind of words to the Jiang family in many years. It's a pity that you'll die soon."
"Holy Virgin Liu, you'd better stay away from this man. He's too stupid to be your junior!" said Jiang Tianhai, who was implying that Liu Jingning should stay away from this issue.
"Alas!" Liu Jingning shook her head and sighed, then she flew backward and said quietly, "I will not interfere in this matter!"
She thought it was necessary for Xu Que to suffer a bit. As long as she didn't completely step back from the issue, she would have no problems. At worst, she could help Xu Que escape when he was about to die.
She also knew Xu Que had a kind of escape spell that could help him escape instantly. Therefore, he wasn't in great danger.
However, everyone was laughing at Xu Que, but none of them knew Xu Que had opened the System and entered the Store Interface.
At this moment, his People Killing Book and People Killing Swords were already hungry and impatient!
He had killed five men of the Gong Family in the Water Nation before, and the People Killing Book and Sword had reached the tenth layer!
That day, he had killed four people in the Bright Moon Hotel, which successfully enhanced the Book and Sword to the 18th layer!
Now, he had to kill another six people to enhance the Book and Sword to the 30th layer, which was the highest!
Of course, the premise was that the cultivation levels of these people had to be higher than his, so he could enhance the Book and Sword by two layers by killing each of them.
The elders of the Jiang family were at Level 6 or Level 7 of the Infant Transformation Stage, which was quite satisfactory for Xu Que's purposes, but it was quite difficult to kill six powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage simultaneously with the People Killing Book and People Killing Sword at the 18th layer.
Therefore, he had to hurry in obtaining the Secret of All, so he could learn the Genuine · Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets to multiply his strength tenfold. Along with the People Killing Book and the People Killing Sword, he would defeat those people easily.
"System, quick, let me purchase the Nine Secrets!" Xu Que started to purchase the Nine Secrets in a rush!
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
…
After over ten purchases, Xu Que had spent more than 2,000 Acting Tough Points, but what he had obtained was only the Secret of Troop.
His luck was so lousy!
He had even suspected that the purchases were not performed randomly, and the System increased the difficulty to obtain the Secret of All so that he had to spend more Acting Tough Points!
"Damn! What a businessman you are! You're doing this deliberately, right?"
After spending 5,000 Acting Tough Points, Xu Que couldn't take it anymore, so he questioned the System.
The System didn't give him any response.
"This is outrageous! This is my first day in the East Continent, how could my luck be so lousy?" Xu Que became inexplicably impatient.
At the same time, the people in the stone quarry were still laughing at Xu Que.
More and more people were getting involved.
Liu Jingning had stated her stance that she wouldn't interfere in this matter. Many people thought that Xu Que was just a nobody. Moreover, they wanted to flatter the Jiang family, so they would definitely grab the opportunity!
"Young man, although you're a ruler, you should know that arrogant rulers like you always end up miserable!
"Now, you still have time to get down and bow in apology, and maybe the Jiang family could forgive your rudeness!
"Right! Stop acting foolishly, quickly come down and bow to admit your mistake!"
…
"Alas!"
At this moment, Liu Jingning sighed again.
She didn't know that Xu Que was still fighting with the System. Superficially, Xu Que was just in a daze in the sky, leaving the crowd at the bottom to laugh at him.
She couldn't take it anymore, so she delivered a message by moving her lips slightly. "Little brat, why did you ignore my advice to step back just now? Now what can you do? Fine, you go first and I'll cover you!"
Xu Que didn't reply, just continued to purchase the Nine Secrets!
What is the key to success? Yes, persistence!
You don't want me to obtain it, right? I will continue to try, this is nothing for me!
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'Troop' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
Ding! "Congratulations to the host in purchasing the Secret of 'All' successfully by spending 200 Acting Tough Points!"
At last, along with the System's last warning sound, Xu Que was excited and his eyes were shiny again. A cold smile appeared on his lips!
It's time for a fight!
Chapter 569: Anyway, It's Not the First Time for Me to Do So
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Good things come to those who wait.
By spending around six thousand Acting Tough Points, Xu Que had finally obtained the Secret of All!
Xu Que quickly started cultivating the Secret of All, and very soon, the Genuine Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets was fully developed.
With the help of the Genuine Secret of 'All' of the Nine Secrets, Xu Que could exert energy that was ten times stronger. He was now as powerful as someone who was ten levels stronger than him.
This was why Xu Que was acting so arrogant and audacious at this moment.
Bang!
The True Core Strength inside his body suddenly spread all over his body as he was about to activate the Genuine Secret of "All".
Xu Que, are you deaf?! You should leave! Liu Jingning sent him a message telepathically.
She had decided to help Xu Que, but at the same time, she did not want to ruin the relationship between her and the Jiang family.
With Xu Que being laughed at by people on the ground, she was terribly upset. She had made up her mind to let Xu Que leave first, leaving her to deal with the old men of the Jiang family.
All of a sudden, Xu Que burst into laughter.
Liu Jingning was shocked and felt something wasn't right with Xu Que.
What's going on?! Why do I feel a bit frightened by Xu Que's energy field, even though he's only in the Infant Transformation Stage! I must be mad! This is impossible!
"Why should I leave first?! I've said that if they don't apologize, I would kill them all! Anyway, it wouldn't be the first time for me to do so!" Xu Que sneered and stared at the several old men standing on the ground.
Right at this moment, Xu Que's black cloak was moving up and down with a cold breeze blowing.
His eyes frightened people…
Liu Jingning was feeling rather anxious, as she thought Xu Que was just joking and trying to provoke those people on the ground. She never thought he had meant it.
If Xu Que really kills them all, he'll put himself in an extreme situation!
"Holy sh*t! Something isn't right with Xu Que! Is he possessed by an evil spirit?" Buttface suddenly shouted.
Hearing what Buttface had said, Liu Jingning was becoming more worried.
Xu Que smiled coldly at the people on the ground. "Are you sure you aren't going to apologize to me?!"
He was speaking like he normally was, but Liu Jingning and Buttface could feel something was not right!
"I cannot possibly understand how you can still be this arrogant. You have no idea who you're speaking to!" the people on the ground laughed at him.
"Young man, you're doomed today!" Jiang Tianhai sneered.
"If it weren't for Saint Liu, I would have already killed you! Now, you are most certainly going to die!"
"Wait!" Liu Jingning was terrified by the mere idea that the several old men were about to attack Xu Que together, since she wasn't sure if Xu Que would really be able to fight against them.
"There's no f*cking need to wait! Since they don't want to apologize to me, I'll kill them all!" Xu Que said while smiling towards Liu Jingning.
He then looked at the rest of people in the stone quarry and said, "You can all come at me! I promise I'll kill you all in less than ten shots!"
"Xu Que! You—" Liu Jingning said.
"If you dare say one more word, I'll kill you too!" Xu Que said to Liu Jingning coldly.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned.
One minute ago, he was a cute young man who could no longer stand my flirting, and now he's so frightening!
Suddenly, Liu Jingning realized that apart from the strong energy field, Xu Que was surrounded by a Terrifying Spiritual Qi that would cause anyone to freak out.
He must have killed millions of people, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to be surrounded by such a strong Terrifying Spiritual Qi!
The people on the ground were all furious!
"This young man is seriously a fool! Does he have any idea what he's saying?"
"He even threatened saint Liu!"
"We should just kill him! I'm fed up with him already!"
"We have to make him realize that there's always someone more powerful than him!"
"Kill him!" Jiang Tianhai shouted. He turned into a invisible shadow and leapt high up into the sky.
Meanwhile, the other five old men followed him to fly toward Xu Que.
"You think you can kill me?! Don't be ridiculous!" Xu Que sneered and chanted a very difficult and obscure incantation.
A ray of golden light suddenly came out of his finger tip, and countless tiny inscriptions gathered together and flew along his veins.
Bang!
Something exploded inside Xu Que's body, and the energy field around him immediately intensified.
"What?!"
"This is impossible!"
The six old men of the Jiang family were extremely terrified.
They couldn't believe that the young man who was just in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage had suddenly become so powerful.
"Back off!" Jiang Tianhai shouted, ready to run away.
As a member of the Jiang family, he had gone through many horrible things, but this was the first time he felt afraid.
Bang!
Xu Que brandished his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. The next minute, an enormous black sword's shadow appeared in the air.
The sunlight was blocked and the whole sky went dark, causing the people on the ground to feel suffocated.
The six old men had no way out, but tried to get to the ground to run away.
When they were about to touch the ground, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Want to run away?! You lost your chance!" Xu Que smiled.
"How can you be so quick!" Jiang Tianhai pointed at Xu Que and questioned him, "What's the incantation you just practiced?!"
Liu Jingning and Buttface, who were standing not far away, were completely stunned by what they saw.
Xu Que now looked exactly like an evil genius!
After he had practiced the Genuine Secret of 'All', his neck was covered in endless black inscriptions, which made him look horrifying.
"Go to hell!"
Xu Que hit the six old men with his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
"Genuine Flame Devouring Wave!"
With the effect of the Genuine Secret of 'All' and the Killer Sword, the power of his Genuine Flame Devouring Wave was greatly enhanced.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The six old men of the Jiang Family exploded together and became a bloody mist that faded away.
Seeing this, no one made a sound…
