After careful recall, Jiang Xiaobai finally settled his doubts.
If he hadn’t run into this woman today who had admitted to having been on Bone Mountain before, Jiang Xiaobai might have dismissed his previous encounter as a hallucination.
But why would the woman from Bone Mountain appear here with such immense power?
Jiang Xiaobai knew there must be some secret to it, but he dared not ask, nor did he entertain the thought of probing her.
Joking aside, knowledge can get you killed faster!
That’s the ironclad rule in novels, TV shows, and movies, without exception!
When facing such a tremendous power, Jiang Xiaobai would be cautious and humble, not daring to defy it needlessly.
Staying alive was already an extravagant hope!
“You seem nervous?”
A light chuckle came from the woman: “Don’t be, I won’t harm you. You have a great destiny about you and any harm toward you would bring misfortune upon me.”
“It would be more profitable for me to butter you up.”
The woman’s words threw Jiang Xiaobai into confusion.
Butter me up?
Myself?
What a joke!
You, a cultivator at least in the Tribulation-stage, are going to suck up to a humble figure at the peak of Great Perfection of Transcendence?
Who would believe that if word got out?
Jiang Xiaobai decidedly didn’t believe her and became even more confident in his internal assertion?
Tch, the lips of a woman are full of lies.
Especially a beautiful woman, the more beautiful a woman is, the more devious she can be!
“Don’t believe me?”
The woman lightly laughed again, not minding Jiang Xiaobai’s skepticism. With a wave of her hand, two purple fragments flew from beside the throne to Jiang Xiaobai.
He instinctively caught it in his hand, but was bewildered by her action: “You’re giving it to me?”
“What else?”
“It seems you need this item very much?”
The woman said with a curious smile. Her posture was leisurely and comfortable on the throne with a hand propping up her chin.
At that moment, she exuded an incredibly unique charm – casual and easygoing but with a certain, undeniable majesty.
Her radiant beauty had an undeniable allure amidst her calculated detachment.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but notice a certain rise in her chest due to her posture.
Perfect in shape and size!
Damnit!
What the hell are you thinking about, Jiang Xiaobai? In times of danger like this, you’re thinking about these things?
“Jiang Xiaobai, this is all a plot by the wicked woman, don’t fall for it!”
Jiang Xiaobai admonished himself inwardly.
But those are fragments of an acquired spirit treasure. Two of them! The two old men in the storage space were about to jump out in excitement!
He very much wanted them, but dared not take them. He had no idea if the woman was playing tricks.
He’d heard that those with great power, unable to break through their limits quickly, loved to play tricks on others!
“Great one, I’m just a tiny ant, please don’t mess with me.”
As Jiang Xiaobai said this, he tried to give the fragments of the acquired spirit treasure back to the woman.
However, she shook her head with a smile.
“No need, they’re yours now. A gift is a gift.”
“You must feel my power. Why would I trap you?”
“I just want to build a good relationship with you.”
Jiang Xiaobai was utterly baffled. Um, what the hell are you trying to pull off, miss?
He instinctively glanced at AnRan beside him, only to find that the bastard was drooling over the woman on the throne.
Good heavens, what an unreliable guy!
“Great one, could you just tell me what you’re thinking straight away?”
“Seriously, we can talk it out. Even if your demands are over the top, I’d be willing to comply!”
Jiang Xiaobai pleaded once again. Against this mighty figure, he didn’t stand a chance, so he could only try to appease her. It’d be best if no trouble arose.
“There are things I can’t tell you, not too much at least. But let me ask you one thing, do you need these two fragments?”
The woman spoke indifferently.
Jiang Xiaobai thought for a moment, then nodded.
Honesty is the best policy. Just play it straight.
“That’s right, then. I’m giving you these for nothing, no quid pro quo.”
The woman suddenly laughed. The radiant smile on her face made Jiang Xiaobai even more suspicious of her.
“How about an introduction?”
“My name is Gu Ning. And you?”
“Jiang Xiaobai.”
Jiang Xiaobai gave his real name: “Miss Gu Ning, since you won’t trick me, can I leave now since we accidentally intruded into this place?”
Gu Ning had a look of mingled amusement and bemusement on her face. She waved her hand, and an invisible force enveloped Jiang Xiaobai, restraining his movements. As he immobilized, she made her way towards him.
Soon, the two were inches apart. Suddenly, Gu Ning leaned in close to Jiang Xiaobai, their faces almost touching.
Hearing her gentle laugh, Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t a moment to react before feeling a chill on his face as his disguise was removed.
Gu Ning swiftly touched Jiang Xiaobai’s face, a crackling sound resounding as his features shifted back to their original state.
“Not bad, handsome.”
“The most handsome man I’ve seen all these years. With a face like yours, why hide it? Are you worried about attracting too much attention?”
Gu Ning asked softly, hands behind her back.
“Uh well, I have enemies. Powerful ones, so I have to hide my face.”
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly explained, “Great one, can you let me go now? I swear I won’t say a word about what I’ve seen here. My lips are sealed!”
“Hahaha, you mischievous boy.”
Gu Ning shook her head and laughed softly. With a wave, an indentation suddenly appeared in the hall’s sidewall. Upon closer inspection, it was the indentation meant for the door to the secret realm within the altar.
As expected, a screen of light slowly appeared within.
“Do you have Frenzy Demon Stones on you?”
“Yes, a lot. Almost seven to eight thousand!”
“Hmm, good. You’ll need five thousand Frenzy Demon Stones here. I don’t have many on me, luckily you were smart enough to bring so many. Otherwise, I’d have had to go get more. What a drag.”
Gu Ning laughed, “Put the Frenzy Demon Stones in the indentation. If you can pass through the realm, I’ll take you as my disciple.”
“If not, well, you can die.”
Buzz!
Jiang Xiaobai’s mind went blank instantly!
What the hell, she was messing with him after all!
Death if he doesn’t pass through the realm?
Wasn’t it agreed earlier that there were no traps?
If a woman’s words could be trusted, pigs could fly!
“Can we negotiate?”
“No negotiation, dear~”
Gu Ning put her finger to her lips, sounding like a lively young girl.
“That’s settled, then. You’ll pass through the realm now. Don’t worry, your friend will be fine. He’ll enjoy life in an environment he really likes.”
Gu Ning reassured with a gentle smile.
But to Jiang Xiaobai, that smile was absolutely terrifying!
