Chapter 697, A Beauty That Brings Disaster

Translator: Silavin

 

At this moment, Long Qingyao appeared somewhat weakened, her complexion displaying a sickly flush of red. This particular pallor gave her an air that inspired protective instincts, possessing its own unique charm.

 

“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing Qin Yichen’s expression turn so grim, Long Qingyao was clearly startled. Even when the dimensional space had encountered problems, she had never seen this fellow’s face look so troubled.

 

“Shut up!” Two words ground out between Qin Yichen’s teeth. He drew a deep breath, only to inhale more of that captivating fragrance, causing his head to throb even more intensely.

 

When his gaze fell upon the mercenaries not far away, Qin Yichen could not help but cover his face with his hand.

 

Although Long Qingyao was actually younger than Qin Yichen, her development was nothing short of perfect. Her curves where there should be curves, all complemented by her innate aura of Nobility. She could truly be called a beauty capable of toppling nations!

 

At this moment, Long Qingyao was completely embodying what it meant to be a beauty that brings disaster.

 

Across from Qin Yichen, the middle-aged man who had originally planned to brush them off and leave now had pupils that had turned somewhat red.

 

They were all rough mercenaries who risked their lives for profit. When had they ever had the chance to encounter a woman of such refinement? Normally, even if they met such a woman, they could only show respectful deference, not even daring to steal a few extra glances.

 

However, this was the desolate wilderness. Here was an incredibly beautiful woman who inspired both protective urges and desires for conquest, accompanied only by a mere Peak Stage Martial King.

 

At this moment, Long Qingyao finally grasped the situation. Looking at the two Martial Emperors blocking their path, plus the three who had been carrying the Shooting Star Spirit Crystal, her pretty face paled considerably.

 

If she had not been injured, relying on her Heavenly Dragon Royal Family’s unique Movement Technique, she would still have confidence in escaping from the hands of two Martial Emperors.

 

But she had used the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, her cultivation was still unstable, and she had suffered injuries along the way. Her strength was less than half of what it should be.

 

“This Little Girl seems quite heavily injured?”

 

The originally rather crude middle-aged man took quite a while to recover from that stunning impression. He laughed dryly, the covetous look in his eyes completely undisguised.

 

“This place isn’t exactly safe. How about coming with me? I’ll heal your injuries for free and can even escort you out of here.”

 

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the three Peak Stage Martial Kings behind him nodded. After greedily eyeing Long Qingyao, they reluctantly departed, carrying the large Shooting Star Spirit Crystal away.

 

Although beauty had made his head somewhat flush with excitement, he was still clear about the value of that Shooting Star Spirit Crystal.

 

Watching the lecherous middle-aged man, anger and disgust welled up in Long Qingyao’s beautiful eyes. However, this not only failed to make the former restrain himself, but instead aroused the bestial desire in the latter’s heart!

 

Qin Yichen smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seemed impossible to end this peacefully today. However, dealing with this man who was approaching Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm was quite troublesome for him.

 

Although he was confident he could escape from the hands of a Mid Stage Martial Emperor, this did not mean he was qualified to directly clash against such an opponent!

 

While this situation had arisen because of Long Qingyao, he could simply turn and leave. After brief contemplation, Qin Yichen found himself completely unable to do something like abandoning a woman, especially such a beautiful one.

 

“Ah! Help!”

 

Just as Qin Yichen was preparing for a desperate fight, a scream suddenly echoed from the distance.

 

“Damn it!” Upon hearing this scream, the two Martial Emperors who had been wearing obscene smiles suddenly changed expressions dramatically. They immediately disregarded Qin Yichen and the girl, their forms becoming two streaks of light as they swiftly flew toward where the other three had departed.

 

Watching the two Martial Emperors leave in such haste, Qin Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.

 

“Don’t you think that Shooting Star Spirit Crystal looks rather promising?” However, before he could relax, Long Qingyao’s voice caused his newly loosened nerves to tighten again.

 

“Hehe, your Crystal Appraisal Technique at the Water Moon Crystal House amazed countless people. What’s wrong, Grandmaster Qin? Don’t tell me that Shooting Star Spirit Crystal was just wasted material? Moreover, judging from that scream, someone has clearly died. To be able to quietly eliminate Peak Stage Martial Kings, it should be the work of Demonic Beasts in this region. How about it? Don’t you want to make a profit?” Long Qingyao spoke smoothly. Hearing these words, Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched.

 

Indeed, it was fine to offend anything, just never offend a woman.

 

Long Qingyao had not even recovered her strength yet, but she was already setting her sights on those guys. This kind of hot revenge truly could not wait for even one second longer.

 

Most importantly, Long Qingyao’s words had moved Qin Yichen.

 

Although he could cheat unknowingly at the Water Moon Crystal House, with his deep insight after years of experience, he could tell that the Shooting Star Spirit Crystal was definitely not an ordinary object.

 

“Heh, I’m going ahead first. If you’re worried, don’t follow.” Seeing Qin Yichen still contemplating, Long Qingyao laughed lightly and silently moved toward the direction the group had departed.

 

Seeing this, Qin Yichen could only smile bitterly.

 

The Transport Array had been interrupted. The most important thing now was figuring out how to reach the location where the Imperial Dynasties Assembly would be held. But if those people had met with misfortune, not taking advantage of the situation seemed unwise as well.

 

“*Haaa.* Fine, let’s go have a look…” Qin Yichen sighed softly. With a movement of his feet, his form rose like a phantom.

 

In just a few moments, the two had arrived at a dense forest. Through gaps in the forest, Qin Yichen saw that the three Peak Stage Martial Kings, who had originally been carrying the Shooting Star Spirit Crystal, were now lying on the ground, their heads severed from their bodies.

 

Then his gaze suddenly contracted, focusing on the three fighting figures ahead.

 

Two of the figures were clearly the two Martial Emperor mercenaries who had threatened them earlier. Facing them was a middle-aged man.

 

This middle-aged man was fighting two opponents alone and seemed to be handling it with ease.

 

Clearly, this middle-aged man had probably already stepped into the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm!

 

“Uncle Kai, finish them quickly. Don’t waste too much time here.”

 

Following this voice, Qin Yichen noticed that not far away stood a young man around twenty-something years old, wearing luxurious clothing. Beside him were two bodyguards, and he was somewhat impatiently calling out to the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm middle-aged man.

 

Qin Yichen quickly noticed that the two bodyguards beside this young man had strong auras. Clearly, they were Martial Emperors as well!
