God Emperor

Chapter 2465: The bet between Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing’er

??

“If I want to hide it from Bai Qing’er, I have to distract her first. There are very few things that can distract her. I have to think about it carefully.”

Zhang Ruochen already had an idea when he walked into the gate of the garden.

Bai Qing’er did not use the Heaven-Concealing technique to hide her aura. There was no black gauze on her body. Instead, she wore a pure white dress. Her arms were wrapped in white silk, and her body was surrounded by saint light. She was leisurely fiddling with six pots of orchids.

The six pots of orchids had dark green leaves and rose-red petals.

The fragrance of the flowers was elegant and lasting.

Zhang Ruochen took a quick glance and immediately discovered the strangeness of the six pots of orchids. The petals looked like skulls. They emitted not only the fragrance of the flowers but also the aura of death.

“Omnivore Orchid.”

The word popped up in Zhang Ruochen’s mind, and he immediately felt a chill down his spine.

Bai Qing’er was indeed evil. On the outside, she looked pure and innocent like a fairy. However, what she does was even more shocking and evil than Guye Jing.

Bai Qing’er did not turn around. With her back facing him, she held a foot-long bamboo knife and dug the soil in the flower plate.

Beside her were two beautiful 17-or 18-year-old handmaidens. They both looked extremely beautiful, comparable to the saintesses of the ancient sects. Zhang Ruochen could not see through their cultivation. Thus, that was why Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to use his spiritual power and Eye of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen imitated Lord Huanxu’s tone and bowed. “Miss, Xia Yu went to Fane of Immortality.”

“So Zhang Ruochen really came to Hoth.” Bai Qing’er raised her bamboo knife. Her eyes were still looking at the orchids in the purple flower pot. She felt that the more she looked, the more beautiful the orchids were.

Zhang Ruochen was secretly shocked. “How can you be sure that Zhang Ruochen came to Hoth?”

“If Xia Yu hadn’t listened to Zhang Ruochen’s instructions, how could she suddenly leave? I think she must have gone to Fane of Immortality to avoid trouble!”

Zhang Ruochen said, “You are right, Miss is indeed very smart. Besides that, I have more important news to report.”

“What is it?” Bai Qing’er asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Someone found traces of Seven-Armed Elder on Hoth.”

“I can’t believe it.”

Bai Qing’er finally seemed to care. She turned around and looked straight at Zhang Ruochen with her extraordinarily beautiful eyes. Her eyes seemed gentle, but they were penetrating. Zhang Ruochen felt like he was being stabbed by needles.

Zhang Ruochen did not feel this way even when he was talking to a god.

“What an extraordinarily beautiful woman. No wonder a superior like Wu Ma Jiuxing fell in love with her. Her elegant and pure temperament, coupled with her ruthless style that was completely incompatible with her temperament, made men even more curious about her. It made them want to see through her.”

Zhang Ruochen did not dare to look her in the eye. He looked down and said, “A cultivator found him in the gambling city of West One City.”

“Are you sure?” Bai Qing’er asked.

“I’m not sure.”

“How dare you report to me when you’re not sure?” Bai Qing’er’s eyes were as cold as a knife.

A bone-piercing cold Qi poured into Zhang Ruochen’s armor from his collar and sleeves, freezing his Neverwither physique. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(F)ɪre

This woman was temperamental.

She had a bad temper.

Zhang Ruochen lowered his head and said, “I’ll go check it out.”

Zhang Ruochen wanted to take this opportunity to slip away. As he took a step back, Bai Qing’er put away the cold Qi and said, “No need! It’s such a small matter. I’ll ask the cultivators of the House of Enchanteurs to check it out. Don’t go yet. I need your help with another matter.”

Zhang Ruochen was anxious, but he had to show a calm expression. “It’s my honor to serve you.”

Bai Qing’er said to the maid on the left, “Shang Yue, release my new batch of slaves.”

The girl named Shang Yue took out a talisman from her sleeve and pinched it between her two slender fingers. She exhaled Saint Qi from her red lips. Immediately, Saint-level slaves were blown out of the talisman.

Bang Bang.

There were seventy-four slaves wearing handcuffs and leg irons.

At this moment, a chilly wind suddenly blew in the garden, and a weird sound that made people’s skin crawl sounded. It sounded like ghosts locking souls, demons eating humans, and demonic beasts coming into being.

The weird sound came from six pots of orchids.

A gentle smile appeared on Bai Qing’er’s beautiful and stunning face. “Don’t worry. They’re all yours.”

She raised her right hand slightly, and the seventy-four slaves on the ground twitched. They let out shrill screams, and their shadows of souls flew out of their bodies.

Six ferocious skulls popped out of the six pots of orchids and devoured all their Saint Souls.

The 74 saint-level slaves lost their breath of life and fell limply to the ground.

A look of disgust appeared in Shang Yue’s eyes. With a wave of her snow-white palm, she produced a ball of Divine Purification Flame and burned the 74 saint-level slaves to ashes, leaving only 74 Sainthood Sources.

“This woman’s cultivation is even higher than Thandee’s and Lord Huanxu’s.” Zhang Ruochen saw some clues and was surprised.

He was surprised that Bai Qing’er had so many elites around her that she could be compared to a macroworld like Guanghan.

Bai Qing’er stared at the flowers in the pot that was even brighter, “My six pots of orchids are all rare species that have lived for more than a Yuanhui period. They only eat the Saint Souls of Saint-lever cultivators. Also, you can’t use the spiritual spring to water them. You have to use the blood of Supreme Saints. Lord Huanxu, can you use your Supreme Saint blood to water them for me?”

Zhang Ruochen cursed silently. This woman was so insidious and mean.

He secretly sympathized with Thandee and Lord Huanxu. It was too difficult to be Bai Qing’er’s subordinate. They wouldn’t know when they would be put to death by her.

“Miss,” Zhang Ruochen said fearfully, “Blood Qi is very important to us Immortal Vampires. If we lose too much blood, our cultivation will be greatly reduced.”

“You don’t want to? You just said that it’s your honor to work for me.” Bai Qing’er frowned with displeasure.

Another maid, Shang Xia said coldly, “In my opinion, why don’t we just kill him? Not only can we use his blood to water your beloved orchids, but we can also use his Saint Soul to feed all six pots of orchids.”

Not only did Bai Qing’er not object, but she seemed to be moved.

How could the life of a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint be inferior to six pots of orchids in her eyes? Wait, it could only be used as food for six pots of orchids.

Zhang Ruochen was in a difficult situation now. It was impossible for him to use his blood to water the orchids.

Once the blood left his body, his identity would be exposed.

However, if he did not water it, he would die.

It was even more unreliable to pin his hopes on Guye Jing. He had to think of a way himself. Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were fixed on Primordial Spatial Worm that had turned into a ring on his finger.

At the same time, he slid the Multi-Dimensional Scroll out of his sleeve and hid it in his left hand.

“It seems that the sword Qi prepared for Madam Nixuan must be used on Bai Qing’er in advance.”

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to attack, Bai Qing’er smiled and said, “Forget it. Ruochen is known as a Yuanhui-level genius. Wouldn’t it be a pity to kill him just like that?”

The two handmaidens Shang Yue and Shang Xia were surprised.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were stunned, but he quickly recovered. He no longer bowed and groveled. He stood up and sighed. “You’ve already seen through it!”

Swoosh!

Whoosh!

A saint sword flew out of Shang Yue’s and Shang Xia’s bodies.

Two swords, one burning divine flame and the other releasing icy Saint Qi.

The two women changed their identities and appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s left and right sides as if they had teleported. They locked onto him with sword comprehension.

Bai Qing’er said, “Zhang Ruochen is as great as he is. He’s already in a desperate situation, but he’s still so calm.”

Zhang Ruochen looked at her and asked, “How did you see through me?”

“From the first time I saw you, I knew that you weren’t Lord Huanxu. Your way of Shapeshifting is very mysterious. You disguised his temperament perfectly. However, with Lord Huanxu’s personality, when he sees my true face, he’ll definitely be greedy and take a few more glances. You only took one glance and immediately lowered your head,” Bai Qing’er said.

Zhang Ruochen laughed self-deprecatingly. “I should have taken a few more looks just now.”

“You’ve been looking for so long. Haven’t you seen enough?” Bai Qing’er asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s just a small detail. I’m afraid just by that you can’t see through that Lord Huanxu is fake or if I transformed into his appearance.”

As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen’s body and appearance changed back to his original appearance.

“So, I tested you from the back! The best evidence is that you don’t dare to use blood to water Omnivore Orchid.”

She continued, “At the beginning, you told me that you had found out the whereabouts of Seven-Armed Elder. You probably wanted to distract me, right? Unfortunately, your move just exposed your identity.”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Why?”

“There are no more than ten cultivators who know that I am very interested in Seven-Armed Elder, and every one of them is my servant and subordinate.

“There is only one exception, and that person is you, Zhang Ruochen. In Divine Domain of Destiny, when you used Violet Gourd to collect Cang Baizi, you mistakenly took in Seven-Armed who was hiding in Xing Qian’s corpse.”

Bai Qing’er’s eyes rippled. She smiled and said, “So, it was you who revealed a flaw that allowed me to see through your identity.”

Zhang Ruochen exclaimed “Amazing” three times in his heart. There was nothing wrong with his Shapeshifting technique, but Bai Qing’er had found a flaw in the details. This woman was more powerful than he had expected.

“No! I can’t follow her tempo. She wants to destroy my self-confidence. She wants to control me and make me her slave, just like how she controlled Thandee and Lord Huanxu.”

Zhang Ruochen broke out in cold sweat. He didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

Clang

The sound of a sword rang out.

Ancient Abyssal Blade flew out and appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s hand.

“The so-called Yuanhui-level genius is so impatient? Actually, we may not be enemies.”

Bai Qing’er looked at Shang Yue and Shang Xia, signaling with her eyes.

The two women immediately put away their swords. The two sharp sword wills that locked on Zhang Ruochen disappeared. It was as if two sacred mountains had been removed from Zhang Ruochen’s body. He felt much more relaxed.

“Ruochen, you are an honored guest. Prepare some tea,” Bai Qing’er said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You almost killed me with the hands of Adjudication Division. You also framed me for stealing five supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and always tried to kill me. Why aren’t we enemies? I won’t drink the tea of my enemy.”

“Master Ruochen knows about supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin? Who told you that? Seven-Armed Elder?” Bai Qing’er asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I have no comment.”

Bai Qing’er shook her head gently and said, “Ruochen, you’d better not believe Seven-Armed Elder. This old man is very scheming and shrewd. You must be careful.”

“You don’t have to worry about me. I have my own judgment,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Shang Yue walked over gracefully with a green crystal tray.

There was a pot of tea and a set of teacups on the tray.

She put the tray on the stone table in the garden and said with a smile, “Please.”

Zhang Ruochen was a little hesitant. Should he escape immediately or stick to the original plan and stall for time until Guye Jing arrived.

There were many powerful figures hidden in the garden. Several powerful spiritual powers had just probed him. If he escaped, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t completely confident.

Shang Yue said, “The famous Zhang Ruochen — the peerless genius favored by both Wargod Bloodximius and Fukurokuju — is so cowardly? Shang Yue is really disappointed.”

“A maid dared to goad me. I underestimated the Enchanteur Chamber,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Shang Yue laughed. “Master Ruochen has such bad judgment. I’m not a maid, I’m master’s first disciple.”

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t interested in flirting with his enemy at a life-and-death moment. “There’s no need for tea. Miss Bai, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

“Okay! I only have one request. Give me the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and Seven-Armed Elder. From now on, we’re no longer enemies. You can leave whenever you want. If you are still brooding over the past, I am willing to personally offer you a cup of tea to make amends.” Bai Qing’er lowered her stance and said.

The lower her stance, the greater Zhang Ruochen’s sense of crisis.

Zhang Ruochen laughed loudly. “Do you think I am a fool, Miss Bai? Does giving you the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and Seven-Armed Elder equivalent to losing my last bargaining chip. How can I survive?”

Bai Qing’er sighed. “If it wasn’t the last resort, how would I dare to kill you? If Wargod Bloodximius and Fukurokuju found out, it would be a disaster for me and the Enchanteur Chamber.”

“The other meaning of this sentence is that you can kill me without any scruples as long as you deal with it cleanly so that Wargod Bloodximius and Fukurokuju can’t find out.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t fall for her trick at all. He couldn’t trust her with just one thought.

Bai Qing’er finally lost her patience and didn’t want to pretend anymore and said coldly “I know it’s not easy to keep you. And you should also know that it’s as difficult as climbing up to the sky if you want to escape. In that case, let’s make a bet.”

“How?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Bai Qing’er waved her finger gently.

Suddenly, the tall figure of Lord Ironclad walked out of the garden and stood behind her. He locked Zhang Ruochen with a pair of hostile eyes.

Bai Qing’er raised her snow-white neck slightly, she said proudly, “To be honest, I’m very disdainful of the so-called Yuanhui level geniuses. I’m not just talking about you and Yan Wushen, but also Wargod Bloodximius and Huang Tian.

“However, I also heard that during the battle between you and Yan Wushen, your battle strength was close to a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint, which shocked me. However, that’s just a rumor. I’ve never believed rumors.”

“Many of the rumors are false,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Bai Qing’er pointed at Lord Ironclad, “His cultivation has reached the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm. If you can defeat him, it means that you’re worthy of the title of Yuanhui-level genius. I’ve always cherished talents. Even if he’s an enemy, I can spare his life.”

“I don’t believe you,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Bai Qing’er said, “Of course, I won’t let you go, but I can let you go today.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Bai Qing’er said, “If you can defeat Lord Ironclad, and prove your talent. I will let you go today. However, I can promise you that I will capture you twice in three months. If I can do it, you will submit to me from then on. Zhang Ruochen, do you dare to take the risk?”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “You are more conceited than I expected to capture me three times. I want to know, what if you can’t do it?”

Bai Qing’er saw that Zhang Ruochen had the intention to agree, so she immediately looked relaxed. She smiled sweetly and said, “Wargod Bloodximius has traveled all over Infernal Court to help you with the marriage alliance. The marriage invitation has been sent to the Enchanteur Chamber, and he has even specifically asked me to marry you. If I can’t capture you three times, it means that you’re actually capable. I’ll agree to Wargod’s marriage request. It won’t be a loss. Do you think this bet is fair?”

“Of course, you have to pass through Lord Ironclad first. If you can’t even defeat him, it only means that you’re not worthy of the title of a Yuanhui-level genius. Thus, there’s no value for you to live.”
