Gu Xijiu simply smiled. She hated to be threatened even as a child, what more when she was so experienced and powerful now. "Oops! I cannot do that! I want him to be my husband. How could we not see each other for the rest of my life? I cannot promise you those terms."The crowd remained silent. In other words, the negotiation failed. Therefore, the ten clan masters decided not to be courteous anymore. They moved to their respective locations and surrounded Gu Xijiu once Master Fengxing signaled them.
A battle was about to start. It seemed inevitable despite Spiritual Master Yuhang trying to negotiate with Gu Xijiu as a way to repay her kindness before. "I don"t think you are an evil person; you saved my disciples before, and I am grateful. Why do you need to be so stubborn? Listen to me; stay away from Nianmo…"
Gu Xijiu interrupted him with a hiss. "Oh, yea! I almost forgot about it! I was just being kind, but I did not expect to save an ungrateful person; I"m so upset now…"
Right after she said she was upset, she suddenly teleported! When the crowd managed to locate her, she was already beside Qing Luo. Qing Luo did not manage to see Gu Xijiu clearly but only felt a sudden gust of wind blowing at her. Abruptly, she felt a sharp pain at her fingertip, as if she was bitten by something!
She screamed and immediately pulled her hand away, only to find two tiny holes on her fingertip with pinkish blood dripping off her finger. Cherry Blossom Snake! She was bitten by a Cherry Blossom Snake again!
She felt pain in every part of her body to the extent she had cold sweat dripping from her forehead. Eventually, she felt numb and started rolling on the ground in agony.
Everything happened too quickly! No one expected that the grimace lady could escape from the trap set by the ten clan masters and even hurt someone! By the time they were ready to react, it was already too late.
The ten clan masters were trying to stop her from escaping; most immortals had the habit of escaping by air. To their surprise, she teleported downward and succeeded!
Spiritual Master Yuhang immediately leaped down to the ground. He quickly checked on Qing Luo and furiously glared at Gu Xijiu. "What did you do?!"
Gu Xijiu flicked her fingernails. " I was the one who helped her to remove the venom, but I regret it now. So, I let the snake bite her again. Hmmm, I guess we do not owe each other now. I would not feel upset if she attacks me now."
Spiritual Master Yuhang was speechless. The crowd also remained silent.
Right at that moment, a red light flashed across the sky. A creature with nine glowing red tails appeared in front of Gu Xijiu. Its big watery eyes were adorable enough to seduce anyone there. Yes, it was Lu Wu!
"Report to master: I"ve searched every single corner, but Shen Nianmo is not in the valley."
It was only then that the crowd realized that Gu Xijiu had got Lu Wu to search the place when she first arrived. The reason she was willing to talk so much to the people was just to wait for the news from Lu Wu.
Since Shen Nianmo was not there, she would leave empty-handed. She felt somewhat disappointed by the result because she allowed herself to be mocked by the crowd earlier.
Gu Xijiu thought that her day was ruined! Her head tilted downward, and a sword immediately appeared in her hand. The sword was cold and sharp as if she was holding an ice sword. "You ten old jerks, come on! Let me teach you a lesson today!"
Certainly, Gu Xijiu had spiced up the anger of the crowd. Therefore, a fierce battle had begun!
