Chapter 676: Let Me Make a Deal with You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a tastefully furnished small courtyard in the east district of the Sky Thunder City…
Big Sister Bell was in an aqublue long dress with a very low-cut neckline, revealing her snowy skin. This outfit was accompanied by a string of pink small bells, making many lechers have their eyes popped out.
She was sitting leisurely and drinking tea. The tea was first-cla.s.s Dragon Snake Fragrance, which cost 1,000 celestial stones a packet. One packet could only be used to one cup of tea. People didn"t have to drink it; its smell was enough to drive one intoxicated.
She had two luscious lips, which turned into a charming and s.e.xy curve whenever she sipped tea. She held the teacup with one hand while lifted the teacup lid with the other hand. With her eyes closed, she took sips of the tea. Her behavior was graceful and elegant, peaceful and natural.
After three minutes, she drank up the cup of tea. Gently lowering the cup, she opened her eyes and looked at maidservant Xiao Hong standing by her side. "How many days has it been?"
The maidservant paused and answered gently, "Miss, it has been three months. Lone Wolf hasn"t shown up for two months."
"It has been three months."
Big Sister Bell nodded and leaned back. She closed her eyes for rest and stopped talking. The maidservant waited for a while before breaking the silence involuntarily. "Miss, two months have pa.s.sed. Did Lone Wolf… already die in the Thunder Ridges?"
Big Sister Bell didn"t respond; her eyelashes didn"t even flutter. She just waved her hand and signaled Xiao Hong to leave her alone. Xiao Hong didn"t dare to say further and left to the yard quietly. She was going to take a stroll to the City Lord"s mansion. Big Sister Bell usually took a rest during this time; she could also take a break and go out.
"Ms. Xiao Hong!"
"Ms. Hong."
People greeted her along the way. They looked and sounded extremely respectful. The flattery worked well to her. She raised up her heads and even walked smugly.
Taking a few turns, she reached the main road leading to the City Lord"s mansion. At this time, dozens of men ran towards her. They were very fast and almost b.u.mped into Xiao Hong.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Hong"s pretty face instantly grew cold, and she was about to let out her rage. However, that group of men already headed to the city east. The two men leading the crowd were Ba Dao and Chief Long. There were over a dozen Heaven Monarchs after them. Xiao Hong took a glance and kept quiet.
"Eh?"
A flash of surprise flickered across her eyes. Why were Ba Dao and Chief Long in such a hurry? Did something go wrong? She pondered for a while. When she saw another group of men consisting of Heaven Monarch leaders and some peak-stage Vajra Realm martial artists rushing to the city east, she quickly extended her hand and shouted, "Stop."
"Ah? It"s Miss Xiao Hong. What can we do for you?"
These two Heaven Monarchs worked for Chief Long. Naturally, they knew Xiao Hong as well. There were actually very few people in this city that didn"t know Xiao Hong. After all, she was the maidservant of Big Sister Bell.
Xiao Hong"s eyes shimmered coldly. She asked icily, "What"s going on? Why are Chief Long and Ba Dao in such a hurry?"
One Heaven Monarch quickly cupped his hands and replied, "Miss Xiao Hong, Lone Wolf shows up in the Thunder Ridges, behind the Thunder Mountains. He even blatantly asked Brother Ba Dao to come over for negotiation. I have to go now. I"m sorry."
Those two Heaven Monarchs cupped their hands at Miss Hong and rushed out of the city with their men. Xiao Hong frowned and murmured confusedly to herself, "Lone Wolf is not dead? He even asked Ba Dao to come and negotiate? Is he tired of living? Probably, the other four chiefs will come as well. No… I have to report to Big Sister Bell right away."
Xiao Hong wriggled her plump bottom and dashed back to the small courtyard. It only took a brief time to be outside the yard. She walked in rapidly and whispered when she was at the door of the main hall, "Miss, Lone Wolf shows up. He wants to have a talk with Ba Dao in the Thunder Ridges. Ba Dao and Chief Long brought their men and came over. I guess that the rest of the Chiefs will go as well."
"En?"
Big Sister Bell suddenly opened her eyes and giggled, causing her b.o.o.bs to shake continuously. Her string of small bells also jingled melodiously.
She got up languidly and said with a faint smile, "Help me get dressed. Let"s go and watch the show."
Xiao Hong quickly went inside. She took out a fox fur windbreaker and put it on Big Sister Bell. After that, she asked, "Miss, do we need to rally some men to go with us?"
"No need. We"ll just enjoy the show. Let"s go!"
After that, Big Sister Bell breezed out and flew straight up. Xiao Hong followed her quickly, and they went straight out of the city, bypa.s.sing the east city gate.
Other than the Lu clansmen, no one was allowed to fly in the city; but this didn"t include Big Sister Bell. It was a special order from the Lu Clan. She didn"t fly very fast. There was a transparent shield around the city. However, a pink light flashed on Big Sister Bell"s hand, and she broke through the shield with Xiao Hong, flying straight to the Thunder Mountains.
Swish! Swish!
When they just left the city, they saw nearly 100 men shooting out in the sky in a mighty contingent. Clearly, they were the other four chiefs.
Big Sister Bell was neither too fast nor too slow. Her dress and fox fur windbreaker billowed because of the wind as she flew forward. The string of pink small bells rang non-stop. She smoothed down her hair and glanced at the east side before smiling faintly. "Haha, Xiao Hong. I have a feeling that the sky is falling in the Sky Thunder City."
Xiao Hong didn"t say anything—just curled her lips. In her opinion, the sky would definitely not fall in the Sky Thunder City, and an ugly dead body that no longer had a shape of human would appear in the Thunder Mountains.
It was very lively in the Thunder Mountains.
Those over 10,000 men didn"t sit cross-legged; they all stood up excitedly and looked at the Thunder Mountains on the east. They were not considered as very mighty martial experts so they could only watch the 30 Heaven Monarch Realm martial experts around the Thunder Mountains, who were the leaders of the troops. Of course, they belonged to the six big factions.
On the highest peak of Thunder Ridges farther away, there was a man in a black robe standing. The two sides were locked in a stand-off. The man in the Thunder Ridges didn"t go down, and the Heaven Monarchs on this side didn"t march up either.
The reason why the Heaven Monarch Realm absolute experts didn"t go forward was that the man said that—he would immediately return to the Thunder Ridges… unless Ba Dao came in-person to negotiate with him.
This man was very strange. His head was bald as a coot, which would probably reflect light at night. Also, he had no eyebrows and looked extremely weird and awkward.
This man was obviously Jiang Yi who came from the deep area of the Thunder Ridges. He left the city three months ago and disappeared from the people"s view for two months. He used to come out and compete for thunder stones every morning, but n.o.body saw him over the last two months. Many figured that he was dead; surprisingly, he was still alive.
His appearance immediately alerted the Heaven Monarchs that led the group, who were sent to hunt him down instantly. However, Jiang Yi"s first sentence shocked everyone.
If anyone dared to come one step closer, Jiang Yi would immediately return to the Thunder Ridges. He wanted to negotiate with Ba Dao. If Jiang Yi was back in the Thunder Ridges again, the crowd couldn"t do anything to him again. Thus, they had no choice but to wait for Ba Dao.
After only 15 minutes, dozens of people rushed over from a distance, like a gush of molten iron. Ba Dao and Chief Long were in the front and fixed on Jiang Yi who was standing on the Thunder Ridges. They both revealed a look of hatred and wrath.
It was this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d that humiliated them. They could barely keep their heads up over these past few months.
"Ba Dao, long time, no see! You seem to be growing bigger? Perhaps, you"ve got dumber, too!"
When Ba Dao and his group pa.s.sed the Thunder Mountains, Jiang Yi finally opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, stop there. Otherwise, I"ll go back to the Thunder Ridges immediately. Ba Dao, you come alone. Let me make a deal with you."
