Chapter 498 - 494: A Fairy in the Dust
When Yunxi spoke, her voice held an indescribable Magic Power. Both the Martial Artists besieging the three women and those surrounding Lin Hao all stopped at once.
Everyone looked at Yunxi. She had become the center of attention.
Among them, Lin Hao, who had just been surrounded by a crowd, watched Yunxi with a calm and composed expression, a smile even appearing on his face. This made Marquis Mo, who was glaring at Lin Hao, grind his teeth in frustration.
Under everyone’s gaze, Yunxi moved. With graceful steps, she slowly walked toward Lin Hao.
"Celestial Immortal Yunxi is about to make her move!" someone whispered, their voice filled with excitement.
On this star-strewn Ancient Road, Yunxi was definitely a legendary figure. Not only did she possess a beauty that could topple nations, but wherever she passed, Devil Beasts would retreat a great distance.
This added an air of mystery to Yunxi.
However, no one thought Yunxi was just a pretty face, because many of the people present had seen her kill before.
Yunxi didn’t even need to act herself to kill; she could summon Devil Beasts!
Moreover, Yunxi had killed many. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left her name in the void.
Compared to Yunxi, Lin Hao was just a nobody. The two were simply incomparable.
’As they saw it, if Yunxi made a move, Lin Hao had absolutely no chance of survival.’
Yunxi was walking forward, but her path was blocked.
Meng Qing and the other two women furrowed their brows and blocked Yunxi.
Yunxi stopped. Without a word, she simply looked toward Lin Hao.
"Let her come over," Lin Hao said, the smile on his face never wavering.
The three women stepped aside, and Yunxi walked all the way until she stopped about three meters in front of Lin Hao.
Just then, everyone was stunned, because Lin Hao spoke with a grin, "Little handmaiden, dawdling for so long... you deserve a spanking, you know."
As soon as these words were out, everyone’s eyes went wide.
They never imagined Lin Hao would be so bold as to openly tease Yunxi at a time like this.
’How badly must he want to die to say something like that?!’
"Lin Hao, you’re too insolent!" Marquis Mo roared, his anger flaring.
"You’re courting death!" The Martial Artists who had been surrounding Lin Hao cracked their knuckles, eager for a fight, wishing they could tear him to shreds.
’This guy is too arrogant. He already has three devastatingly beautiful women with him, yet he still dares to openly tease Celestial Immortal Yunxi.’
They had the urge to tear Lin Hao limb from limb.
But Lin Hao remained completely unmoved, still looking at Yunxi with a smile.
As the other main party in this incident, Yunxi was also stunned when Lin Hao spoke, her mouth hanging slightly open.
But almost immediately, her face turned crimson. It was hard to tell if it was from shame or anger.
The moment Lin Hao’s words fell, a powerful aura erupted from Yunxi and rushed straight toward him.
But Lin Hao still didn’t react.
The Martial Artists surrounding Lin Hao hurriedly fell back, thinking Yunxi was about to attack.
However, the aura around Yunxi appeared as quickly as it vanished, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
The next moment, a scene no one expected unfolded.
Yunxi bit her rosy lips, then her vermilion lips parted. "Yunxi greets you, Young Master."
As she spoke, she bowed to Lin Hao, performing the curtsy of a handmaiden.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Yunxi was the Celestial Immortal they all revered.
Moreover, Yunxi had left her name in the void on the Ancient Road; she was a peerless heavenly maiden with the power to rank in the top thirty.
But now, Yunxi was actually performing a handmaiden’s curtsy to an unknown young man!
Most importantly, this guy was accompanied by three women who were in no way inferior to Yunxi.
’A Celestial Immortal has been disgraced!’
Countless people were incensed. Lin Hao had become a thorn in their eye, a spike in their flesh.
"Celestial Immortal, what’s wrong?"
"What did you do to Celestial Immortal Yunxi?!"
Some of the Martial Artists besieging Lin Hao snapped back to reality, all of them speaking with indignation.
"Young Master, when will you deal with the Eight-Clawed Fire Serpent?" Yunxi didn’t answer them, instead speaking to Lin Hao, her beautiful eyes filled with hope.
Lin Hao’s eyes flickered up.
’Yunxi had agreed far too readily just now, giving Lin Hao a bad feeling. Hearing her words, he finally understood what she was planning.’
A hint of a smile flashed in Yunxi’s beautiful eyes.
’How could she possibly submit to Lin Hao so easily? But things were different now. She and Marquis Mo carried a heavy responsibility. They were the hope of two ancestors, and the hope of the Mo Yun Kingdom. And now, it seemed that hope was about to be extinguished on the Ancient Road.’
Because the Eight-Clawed Fire Serpent was blocking the path on this Ancient Road.
’And then Lin Hao appeared. How could Yunxi possibly let such an opportunity go?’
’If Lin Hao could deal with the Eight-Clawed Fire Serpent, that would be for the best. If he couldn’t, she could use the opportunity to get rid of him. Why wouldn’t she take that chance?’
’As for whether Lin Hao would agree, Yunxi wasn’t the least bit worried. Although she hadn’t known him for long, she understood him. Lin Hao’s determination to pursue the path of martial arts was unshakable; he would never back down.’
When Yunxi spoke, the quicker-witted Martial Artists had a sudden realization.
’So Celestial Immortal Yunxi only agreed to be a handmaiden to help everyone pass through this Ancient Road.’
In an instant, Yunxi’s image grew much grander in their minds.
Others stared intently at Lin Hao, wanting to see him make a fool of himself.
’After all, that was a descendant of an ancient vicious beast. So many of them had tried to force their way through and failed. Any normal person would refuse with all sorts of excuses.’
’When Lin Hao refuses, we can use the opportunity to put him down a peg. Best to let those three celestial-like women know that he’s a coward who fears death.’
Many people had this thought, and several were already rehearsing their words in their minds.
Just then, Lu Diewu puffed out her cheeks and said, "Brother-in-law, don’t agree to it!"
She was exceptionally intelligent and had already guessed what Yunxi was planning.
’These people were stuck here because that descendant beast was blocking the path ahead. They couldn’t handle it themselves, yet they wanted her brother-in-law to go to his death. This woman’s heart is simply too vicious.’
Many Martial Artists stared at Lin Hao with mocking expressions, just waiting for him to speak.
A moment later, Lin Hao said to Yunxi, "And what if I don’t agree?"
Before Yunxi could even answer, one of the Martial Artists cut in. "With three women like Celestial Immortals by your side, I thought you were some peerless hero. I never expected you to be a coward! You three ladies, a man like this..."
"Are you a coward?" Unfortunately for him, before he could finish, Meng Qing interrupted.
The disciple saw Meng Qing looking at him, her eyes like tranquil water. His heart suddenly sped up. He puffed out his chest and blurted, "Of course I’m not!"
"Then you go deal with that descendant beast," Meng Qing’s voice rang out faintly.
The man immediately deflated.
"Coward!" Lu Diewu said with a sneer, spitting out the single word.
The man’s face flushed red, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
But then he looked up, pointed at Lin Hao, and said angrily, "He doesn’t dare to go either, so he’s a coward too!"
Lin Hao smiled.
