Chapter 850: Whatever the Wife Says
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The woman was a most unusual and quite individual beauty. Indeed, the woman was so beautiful that she could only be described as stunning. Everyone’s gazes were instantly drawn over to her.
The outspoken young woman’s expression changed slightly. Someone had actually appeared just now to book a room for this group of beggars. Also, she went straight for world-grade rooms. In Dragon City, people who could afford world-grade rooms were very rare. What sort of person had the means to simply book two world-grade rooms for others?
When she turned her head and saw the beauty at the entrance, she suddenly felt ashamed. Normally, she would be considered a beauty, but compared with this woman, it was likely that others would simply ignore her. She was not even qualified to be a leaf.
The woman at the entrance was cold, as cold as thousand-year-old ice. An unapproachable aura could be felt a hundred meters from her.
“Gong Biluo!”
Mo Wen’s figure trembled. Even in his dreams, he had never imagined that he would encounter Gong Biluo in Dragon City. That day, after they bid each other farewell at the Dafang Sect, he had not seen her again. There was no news of her, as though she had vanished into thin air.
He thought that she had hidden herself away in a place that no one could find her. Before this, he had wondered how he could seek her out, but unexpectedly, she had appeared in broad daylight in Dragon City.
Gong Biluo coldly glared at the young woman. A cold intent caused the young woman to s.h.i.+ver non-stop uncontrollably. Her face turned incredibly pale. She felt a sense of terror, as though something frightening had locked on to her.
“Shan’er, we are going. Let’s look for another inn.”
The elders around the young woman realized that this beauty was not someone that they wanted to offend. The cold intent that seeped deep into their bones was like the extreme north wind. A sense of terror subconsciously welled up in them. They hurriedly dragged the unruly woman called Shan’er and left, not daring to stay in the same inn as Gong Biluo.
“Gong Biluo, you…” Mo Wen noticed that Gong Biluo was very different from before. As for what was different about her, he could not pinpoint immediately.
“We’ll talk upstairs later.”
Gong Biluo threw a bag of spiritual stones on the front counter. After instructing the female receptionist to prepare three world-grade rooms, she walked upstairs.
Tang Zhizhi was very shocked at the ostentatious behavior of the woman. That bag contained a hundred spiritual stones! She probably would not earn that many spiritual stones in her entire lifetime. World-grade rooms in Dragon City had a standard price of thirty spiritual stones a night. This was an astronomical price. Normally, very few people would stay in world-grade rooms. As for heaven grade rooms, they even rarer. There were but a handful of people who were that lavish.
As they walked upstairs, they did not say a word. World grade-rooms were located on the top floor of the Shallow Moon Inn. Be it location, environment, or service, they were all the best. They had special servants for them to call over at any time. Usually, the Shallow Moon Inn could not even rent out one world-grade room. For someone to claim three rooms in one go astonished many people.
Even Mo Wen felt that something was off. Since when did Gong Biluo have so many spiritual stones? A world-grade room cost thirty spiritual stones a night. Even he would think carefully before splurging so much. Staying for a month would cost more than a thousand spiritual stones. The Intentionless Sect could only earn such an amount in three years.
Ling Feng also noticed that Gong Biluo was very unusual. He could not get a read on this woman. He was a pinnacle ancient martial art pract.i.tioner at the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm who had also lived for two to three hundred years. He could usually read people easily. He could tell which stage Mo Wen’s exact cultivation was at. However, he could not get a read on the condition of this mysterious woman at all.
“Mo Wen, I’ll be resting in my room. I’ll leave you two to your own devices.”
He could tell that the relations.h.i.+p between Mo Wen and the mysterious woman was special. He did not disturb the two of them from reminiscing, returning to his room.
Mo Wen allowed Tang Zhizhi to return first. Only then did he walk into a room with Gong Biluo.
“Demoness Gong, long time no see. You’ve been moving about elusively.” Mo Wen stared at the woman before his eyes. From the very beginning, this woman was like a rebellious wild horse; he had never been able to tame her.
“Look at that cynical tone of yours. Do you have a lot of resentment pent up?” Gong Biluo smiled instead. To see a smile on her ice-cold face was rare.
“It’s good that you know that I have resentment pent up inside. Now that you have returned, are you prepared to run off again?” Mo Wen had wanted to keep Gong Biluo by his side a few times, but he could not manage it. Back then, his ability was insufficient. Gong Biluo was more powerful than he was. If she wanted to leave, he could not do anything about it.
Now that he had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, he had a premonition that he still would not be able to keep this woman by his side, although he did not know why.
“This can’t be considered returning. I did not come specifically to find you; we just happened to meet each other coincidentally. You do your thing and I’ll do mine. We will not get in each other’s way.”
Gong Biluo sat down on the couch and poured herself a gla.s.s of wine. Unlike Mo Wen, she was very calm.
“What matters do you have to attend to? How about if I help you settle anything that you have? But first, you need to be obedient and not go running everywhere all day.”
Mo Wen had heard quite a bit about what Gong Biluo had been doing. Back then, the mastermind behind the demise of the Gong Clan was the Ming Temple. However, the Gong Clan was not in the Inner worlds or even the Floating Mystery Dimension. It was always in the main s.p.a.ce and was under the restrictions of the rules of the Huatian Palace. The Ming Temple could not take on the Gong Clan head-on, and it was even more impossible for them to rally people to head to the main s.p.a.ce to stir up trouble. Hence, the Ming Temple had secretly provoked the main s.p.a.ce ancient martial art pract.i.tioners. With the Nine Yin Divine Technique as bait, they caused a large number of main s.p.a.ce sect’s to lay siege to the Gong Clan and cloud the eyes of others. In secret, the Ming Temple sent their experts to kill off the strongest forces of the Gong Clan.
The Gong Clan also had Martial Arts Grandmasters. In terms of ability, theirs were even above that of the Gao Clan. Under normal circ.u.mstances, how could a group of main s.p.a.ce sects possibly destroy the Gong Clan?
However, at that time, no one had obtained the Nine Yin Divine Technique, not even the Ming Temple.
“I am not a little lamb that likes to cling to you. Don’t push your luck hoping that I will listen to you obediently. If it wasn’t for the fact that I saw someone bullying you in front of me, I would not necessarily want to see you. How can my man be bullied by such lowlifes?”
Gong Biluo reclined lazily on the couch. She held Mo Wen’s suggestion in great disdain. Listen to him obediently? She, Gong Biluo, was not that kind of person.
“So you still acknowledge me as your man? If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that you were my ancestor,” Mo Wen snapped.
“I didn’t wish for this too. Who asked you to drag me into your mess back then? You committed such a beastly act on your own. Could it be that you do not want to take responsibility?” Gong Biluo gave Mo Wen a charming look. Such a cold, icy woman had actually become so charming and graceful all of a sudden.
Mo Wen was speechless. Back then, who had come onto who? How did it turn into him committing a beastly act? She had forced him to cultivate Yin and Yang simultaneously; now, she had turned things around and put the blame on him. It was practically unbearable.
“That’s right. I am a beast. If a woman like you comes running to the room of a beast, don’t blame me for what might happen.”
Mo Wen’s face changed in an instant. If he did not teach this woman a lesson, he would not be able to reestablish his authority as the husband.
As he said this, Mo Wen pounced towards Gong Biluo, like a tiger pouncing on a rabbit. He clearly wanted to pin Gong Biluo under him.
“Aiyo, you sure know how to vent your pent-up feelings on some extraneous pretext. However, not everyone can be a beast. The thing that I hate the most is a beast like you.”
Gong Biluo’s hand, which was smooth like jade, pressed down on the couch. She moved ten meters through the air and appeared on top of another couch.
“Nice movement techniques, but you cannot run from me.”
How would Mo Wen let such a perfect opportunity pa.s.s him by? He unleashed the Glory of Wind steps and once again pounced.
“Rite of pa.s.sage movement techniques?”
A look of astonishment flashed in Gong Biluo’s eyes. She immediately grinned. “I have never seen a man use such movement techniques against his own woman. Should I acknowledge my defeat?”
Mo Wen laughed. Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly discovered that the woman before him had disappeared. The next moment, a few images appeared in the room. Even Mo Wen could not tell the images apart straight away.
Gong Biluo stood smiling at the entrance with a smooth hand on the door handle. Mo Wen had did not know when she had appeared there.
“Who would have thought that there was actually a beast in the room? I am so scared. I’m running off now.” Gong Biluo stood at the door with a delicate and charming look. She looked as though she was about to walk out of the door.
The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth twitched once. He had not imagined that the current Gong Biluo was so extraordinary. Her movement techniques just now were not inferior to the Glory of Wind and were even more profound. He had not seen her in just a short period of time. How did Gong Biluo change so drastically? He had thought that he would defeat her easily.
“Don’t. Can’t we talk things through nicely? I was only joking just now,” Mo Wen said with a dry laugh. He stood still, not daring to move. He was truly afraid that Gong Biluo would run off. Inside though, he was secretly cursing at her. How was it that this woman was getting harder to deal with? Didn’t she just break through to the Golden Elixir Realm not long ago? Something seemed off.
“Are you still a beast?” Gong Biluo looked at Mo Wen with a fearful look.
“How is that possible? How could I possibly be a beast? A good person like me who does good deeds every day is already a rare sight in this world. What is a beast? It’s my first time hearing such a term,” Mo Wen said with a serious tone. He just stopped short of breaking into song and learning from Lei Feng’s [1] good example.
“So you are not a beast? But I only like being with beasts! Goodbye,” Gong Biluo said as she went to open the door.
“Don’t…”
The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth twitched. He was screaming internally. After a while, he helplessly said, “Alright, I am a beast. Whatever you say.”
COMMENT
“That’s a good boy. Do you still want to tame me?” Gong Biluo walked back into the room smiling. She lay back down on the couch as though nothing had happened.
“No, no, Whatever you say, madam.”
Mo Wen put on a straight face as he charmingly said, “Madam, I will pour you some wine.”
As he said this, he picked up a bottle of wine from the apothecary table and eagerly poured Gong Biluo some wine. Then he humbly pa.s.sed the gla.s.s of wine to Gong Biluo.
Gong Biluo rolled her eyes at him and prepared to receive the gla.s.s of wine. But then Mo Wen threw the gla.s.s and, like a ravaged tiger, instantly pinned Gong Biluo under him. At such a close distance, and with Mo Wen going all out, Gong Biluo could not evade him at all.
“Little missy, you have practically gone against the heavens. You actually dare to treat your lord husband in such a manner! Let’s see how I will teach you a lesson today.”
Mo Wen laughed maniacally as he hugged Gong Biluo and did not let go. Let’s see where else can you escape to now!
“You shameless ruffian. Let go of me…” Gong Biluo was speechless. How had she ended up with such a shameless man?
