Chapter 206 Let Her Come Over
「Phoenix Tower!」
"It's lucky Shangguan Yanjing didn't make a move. Otherwise, even if Sima is a disciple of Peach Blossom Mountain, I doubt he could have stopped him," Meng said.
This statement was true.
Speaking of Martial God Academy, it might even be more useful than Peach Blossom Mountain. Because Peach Blossom Mountain was too mysterious; all of its strength was rumored, even that of its legendary Emperor Path master. If Shangguan Yanjing was determined to kill them, no one present could stop him. Even if Peach Blossom Mountain pursued the matter in anger afterward, what then? Could they be brought back to life?
Angering an Emperor Path expert was really unwise.
Not to mention, behind Shangguan Yanjing stood the Moon God, that inscrutable woman.
SIGH!
Meng sighed, "But luckily!"
"Truthfully, that woman is really powerful. Does anyone know her true identity and origin?"
"Don't know!" Several people shook their heads.
"I haven't even seen her..." Liuli spoke up, "I heard she is very beautiful?"
"Indeed, she is known as the number one beauty of the Central Continent and has the title of a Fairy," a man said infatuatedly. "If I could have a conversation with her, even death would be worth it."
PAH!
Liuli scolded, "Spineless! You should be thinking of how to get her into bed."
The man: "..."
In a leisurely tone, Meng said, "The number one beauty of the Central Continent, the foremost among the young generation. She has stood at the Peak State of Martial God for years, and I don't know if she has broken through to the Emperor Path now. Who do you think can conquer such a woman?"
It was true, on reflection. The Moon God was too outstanding. On the land of the Central Continent... No, even among all the young talents of the Heaven Martial continent, there wasn't a single person who could match her.
Hearing this, Liu Changqing glanced at Chen Pingping subconsciously and wondered, Could this guy do it? If he couldn't, then no one in this world could. Unfortunately, Chen Pingping was surrounded by too many women: Guang Xiaoyu, Zi Ji, Chen Shixian, and Hong You from the upper floors of Chong Tower. He had also had an entanglement with the Saintess before.
COUGH! COUGH!
Liu Changqing quickly averted his gaze; he was there when that entanglement occurred, and to be honest, he was shocked by the decision of the Holy Land's higher-ups. He was also astonished by Chen Pingping's rejection.
This generation's Saintess, unlike the usual, was a Taoist Body. If fate allowed, Tao Verification to become an Emperor was not impossible. Unfortunately, she did not possess a Tao Seed. The Holy Land's leadership were actually willing to let her marry Chen Pingping. The key point was, Chen Pingping had refused...
At that time, the outside world was abuzz, all discussing whether Chen Pingping liked men or not.
"Alright, alright, let's drop this matter. Don't discuss it any further," Sima Kong said. Seeing they were getting more and more outrageous and worried that the news might spread, he felt compelled to suppress the topic.
Just then, Shangguan Yanjing returned, coming back to this room.
Downstairs, everyone was startled.
The group of young people inside the room also lifted their heads, their expressions changing, unconsciously starting to feel nervous. Even Liu Changqing subconsciously held his breath.
Shangguan Yanjing swept his gaze across the room, his eyes landing on Chen Pingping as he spoke, "The Moon God wants to see you. Get ready and set off."
His tone was very calm, yet filled with an unquestionable and unarguable dominance. It was undeniable that Chen Pingping was indeed excellent, more so than most young people, but in Shangguan Yanjing's heart, the Moon God was the only one, an invincible existence.
She summoned Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping was supposed to feel grateful and then hurry to meet the Moon God. This was a supreme honor, enough to be described as making one's ancestors' graves smoke green with pride.
GASPS!
As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar ensued. Liuli, Meng, Sima Kong, and others were all dumbfounded, looking at Chen Pingping and then toward Shangguan Yanjing, observing his serious demeanor. It was then they were sure of one thing: Shangguan Yanjing was not joking.
The Moon God wanted to see him?
No way?
Who is he?
The group of people downstairs went insane.
The number one beauty in the Central Continent, the foremost of the younger generation, such a lofty goddess, the Moon God, wants to summon an unknown young man? It felt like a dream.
Shangguan Yanjing saw that he hadn't responded for a long time and, showing displeasure, said, "Hurry up and get ready. Go meet the Moon God!"
If the tone before was that of a forceful summoning, then now, it was a compulsory summoning.
The Moon God wants to see you.
Hurry up and go!
The Moon God wants to see you!
You must go!
Shangguan Yanjing's dominant attitude left many breathless, while they also guessed at the true purpose of the Moon God wanting to see him.
Previously, he allowed his Spiritual Beast to cripple Shangguan Du's Dantian. Shangguan Du's father complained to the Moon God, and she then summoned him, wanting to seek justice for Shangguan Du.
That must be it!
Thinking this, Liuli was shaken and, bracing herself, said, "Don't go!"
To sum it up in one sentence: "The Moon God wants to make a move!"
"This kid is really unlucky, huh?" someone murmured downstairs, "He crippled Shangguan Du's Dantian and ended up provoking the Moon God to make a move."
The high and mighty Moon God seldom came down the mountain, nor would she easily take action. According to her achievements over the years, she had hardly any real battles; all her might stemmed from people's speculation about her mysterious identity, powerful cultivation talent, and so on. But now, for the sake of Shangguan Du, she was going to take action.
Meng also spoke up, "Right, you can't go!"
Chen Pingping smiled, probably guessing the reason—possibly because of Zi Ji. He opened his eyes and said, "Let her come here!"
With that statement, shock resonated in all directions.
Even Shangguan Yanjing himself hadn't expected Chen Pingping to actually ask the Moon God to come over. Did he mean he wanted the Moon God to come down the mountain?
The many onlookers downstairs stared blankly, then broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, This kid, he's definitely done for. In the subconscious minds of many, since the Moon God didn't easily take action, and she was only summoning him now, it meant he might still have a chance to live. But for him to openly ask the Moon God to come over—was he actively trying to anger her? Was he trying to extinguish his own last chance of survival?
Onlookers had tingling scalps.
Liu Changqing took a sharp intake of breath.
Sima Kong's expression froze. He had just been thinking about how to help Chen Pingping get out of this, but now...
"You've got some nerve!" Shangguan Yanjing shouted angrily, "Do you even know who the Moon God is?"
"Isn't the Moon God just the Moon God?" Chen Pingping was puzzled.
"..."
Yes!
That's right!
The Moon God is just the Moon God; could she possibly have another identity?
Chen Pingping continued, "Could it be that the Moon God has a side job? Is she the top courtesan in a brothel? Hmm... if that's the case, can I ask, how much does the Moon God cost for a night?"
Everyone: "..."
Bystanders: "..."
Shangguan Yanjing was enraged to the point his hair seemed to stand on end, ready to unsheathe a Divine Weapon to slay this detestable person when the voice of the Moon God came to his ears, "It doesn't matter!"
She was coming down.
Shangguan Yanjing's mind was jolted, incredulous.
The Moon God transmitted her voice again, "You may step back!"
"Hey, hey, hey? Why are you walking away?" Chen Pingping called out, "Don't go just yet. You have to tell me how much the Moon God charges for a night!"
Meng, Liuli, and the others watched him with despair, as if thinking, Are you tired of living?
Both Sima Kong and Liu Changqing sensed that invisible ripple of energy, and their nerves instantly tensed. Only two words occupied their minds: She's here!
