Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 141: Treasures in Hand

Ye Tianling was unfazed. He simply recalled the oath Fang Qingxue had sworn a few days prior, modified it slightly, and declared, "I, Fang Qingxue, swear upon the ancestral bloodline of the Fang Family and my supreme inherited Battle Soul, that once Wan Xuegui hands over all the treasures I have selected, I will give him the Creation Ice Blood Lotus! If I break this oath, may I, Fang Qingxue, and every member of my Fang Family be turned to dust and ashes under a myriad of calamities!"

After he finished, Ye Tianling looked at Wan Xuegui with contempt and added, "I, Fang Qingxue, am a person of my word. My promises are my bond! A dire oath centered on my own Soul, a dire oath made upon everyone in my entire Fang Family—do you believe me or not?"

Wan Xuegui had, of course, watched ’Fang Qingxue’s’ oath-swearing process very clearly.

He had also heard the oath perfectly.

At this point, he had no objections—the oath was undeniably real.

As for her identity—Wan Xuegui studied ’Fang Qingxue’ carefully once more.

Her temperament and appearance, as cold and beautiful as an ice Fairy, combined with her immense pride, made Wan Xuegui’s heart race.

Furthermore, Wan Xuegui was already familiar with Fang Qingxue’s unique charm and aura. Based on all the signs, his certainty only grew.

"Fine, I agree."

Wan Xuegui gritted his teeth and agreed to ’Fang Qingxue’s’ demand.

Ye Tianling took a deep breath, puffed out his exaggeratedly ’proud’ chest, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his ’pretty face.’ He said softly, "Mm, take out your treasures and let me have a look. Although I cannot undergo Refinement with this Creation Ice Blood Lotus myself, it is extremely precious. I can’t possibly trade it for just two or three little trinkets."

When Wan Xuegui saw ’Fang Qingxue’ reveal a ’sweet’ smile that could topple nations, he was instantly struck by her stunning beauty. His heart felt as if it had been pierced, and the thought of obeying her every word immediately took root in his mind.

Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent faintly picked up on this, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. ’The real Fang Qingxue used these same tactics on me, and I completely ignored them.’

’I can’t believe my imitation of her tricks is actually getting Wan Xuegui all worked up...’

’I wonder what Wan Xuegui will think when he finds out my true identity,’ Ye Tianling mused. ’Will this turn him gay?’

"Fang Qingxue, you... don’t you go jacking up the price! After all, that Great Demon Ye Tianling and that powerful Black Water Profound Snake are still here, eyeing us covetously!"

Wan Xuegui said, stuttering slightly.

He didn’t even dare to look ’Fang Qingxue’ in the eyes anymore.

’Damn it, this woman is gorgeous!’ 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Jacking up the price? My Creation Ice Blood Lotus has nine Lotus Seeds. A single Lotus Seed is enough for you to step into the Realm of Sword Void Three Transformations! Stop dawdling. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t undergo Refinement with it, that your reputation is decent enough, and that Ye Tianling is too clever and monstrous, why would I even bother trading with you?"

Ye Tianling sneered.

Even now, he didn’t forget to praise himself a little.

Wan Xuegui gritted his teeth. At the sight of ’Fang Qingxue’s’ stunning beauty, his mind raced and his heart pounded even faster.

To show off his wealth and bravado, he pulled out the entire haul of treasures he had seized from Que Xinyan.

"Here you go, it’s all here. Eleven treasures in total. Two of them are life-saving trump cards. See which ones you like."

Wan Xuegui said, his tone full of bravado.

’Fang Qingxue’ had already sworn an oath, but he hadn’t, so he was being extremely generous.

"Is that all? Hmm, that... is that a Hundred Transformations Soul Refining Pill? Not bad. But the value of all these combined still doesn’t match my Creation Ice Blood Lotus. Another ten treasures should be about right."

Ye Tianling’s eyes brightened slightly as they swept over the items, and he made his demand.

"Another ten treasures?"

Wan Xuegui’s body shook. He nearly coughed up blood.

’I couldn’t get that many treasures even if I went out robbing people!’

"That’s right. Ten more, and I’ll trade with you."

Ye Tianling said with great certainty.

His voice grew even softer.

’Saying those words gave him goosebumps himself.’

’But he had no choice. In a real fight, Wan Xuegui was too strong.’

’Wan Xuegui had reached the Half-step Void Realm, and Ye Tianling wasn’t completely confident he could win.’

’While he had his own trump cards, both the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and the Tree Cutting Technique were massive drains on his power. He couldn’t afford that cost.’

"I’m not Ye Tianling. I’m not as good at tricking, scamming, and stealing treasures as he is. This is almost everything I have. I have a few other treasures, but they aren’t with me."

Wan Xuegui said with a sigh of regret.

He knew that if he was short by ten or so treasures, the deal was likely off.

"How about this: you give me all the treasures first. Then swear an oath to repay me with three Celestial Tier Top Grade Hundred Transformations Soul Refining Pills in the future. That should be about right."

Ye Tianling thought for a moment and made his proposal.

"This... Let me think about it."

Wan Xuegui was intrigued. Bewitched by ’Fang Qingxue’s’ sweet voice, he found himself growing even more tempted.

Ye Tianling once again channeled the Little Faceless Technique, manifesting the aura of Asura Blood. He then took out the Creation Ice Blood Lotus again, his voice becoming even more enchanting. "Think it over carefully. If the price is too low, I definitely won’t trade. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, don’t regret it later!

I’m in a hurry to get resources for a breakthrough, mainly because I want to capture that monstrous Ye Tianling. He pretended to be you and tricked me out of many treasures. I can’t swallow this insult!"

Hearing this, Wan Xuegui immediately felt a sense of shared grievance. "Alright, I agree! After we capture Ye Tianling, I’m going to suppress him in a latrine pit for ten thousand years!"

’This moron thinks he can suppress me?’ Ye Tianling thought. ’In his dreams!’

As he had this thought, he simulated Fang Qingxue’s Jade Water Sky Connecting Swordsmanship, unleashing his Sword Soul Power and sweeping it toward the treasures.

In a single move, all the treasures fell into Ye Tianling’s hands.

Without any hesitation, Ye Tianling swept them all into his Qiankun Ring.

After stowing the items, Ye Tianling spoke again. "Now you swear your oath. The three Celestial Tier Top Grade Hundred Transformations Soul Refining Pills you owe me must be returned within three months. Swear upon your own bloodline and Soul. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease giving you the Creation Ice Blood Lotus."

Wan Xuegui wasn’t suspicious. He had clearly seen ’Fang Qingxue’ use the Jade Water Sky Connecting Swordsmanship earlier, and it was indeed her signature technique.

"I, Wan Xuegui, swear upon my own Soul and bloodline that I now owe Fang Qingxue three Celestial Tier Top Grade Hundred Transformations Soul Refining Pills. The Pills will be returned within three months. If I break this oath, may I, Wan Xuegui, be beset by a myriad of calamities and be suppressed in a latrine pit for ten thousand years, never to find Transcendence!"

Wan Xuegui decisively swore the oath.

By now, his impression of ’Fang Qingxue’ was excellent—they shared a common enemy and a mutual appreciation, after all.

Besides, ’Fang Qingxue’ was so breathtakingly beautiful, like an Unparalleled Fairy.

As they spoke, ’Fang Qingxue’ gazed at him, her beautiful eyes filled with deep emotion, as soft and captivating as autumn waters.

Ye Tianling was extremely satisfied. Wan Xuegui was even easier to deceive than he had imagined. ’After all, during the real Fang Qingxue’s battle with Wan Xuegui, she had already said that the Creation Ice Blood Lotus had been stolen by me.’

’And Wan Xuegui didn’t even question that?’

’I had actually prepared an explanation, but he didn’t even ask.’

"Mm, not bad, not bad. I’m very satisfied. Alright, here’s the Creation Ice Blood Lotus. I’ll be taking my leave now. Until we meet again."

Ye Tianling said, still using Fang Qingxue’s delicate voice.

Then, he tossed the fake Creation Ice Blood Lotus, imbued with a hint of Asura Blood aura, directly toward Wan Xuegui.

His figure began to retreat as he activated the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique.

Overcome with excitement, Wan Xuegui caught the Creation Ice Blood Lotus and immediately channeled his Asura Blood to examine it.

The moment he did, his expression changed drastically.

"Fang Qingxue, you tricked me!"

Wan Xuegui roared in anger. The Sword Spirit Power of a Half-step Void Realm expert surged forth, a terrifying wave of Energy that crashed down on Ye Tianling like a tidal wave.

VWOOM—

Space trembled as powerful spatial Energy vibrated in all directions.

Ye Tianling’s figure blurred into an afterimage, fleeing as fast as lightning.

But because the Vibrating Power was so overwhelming, the two football-sized Refining Materials shackled to him were shaken loose and tumbled to the ground.

CLANG CLANG—

As the iron spheres hit the ground, the outline of Ye Tianling’s true form began to show through his back.

Wan Xuegui’s eyes went wider than a bull’s, nearly popping out of his head. He was utterly dumbfounded.
