You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 439 - 217: The Forty-Li-Long Saber (Part 3)
Lian Hongyin’s eyebrows creased with a smile, her original intention was a fake death and rebirth, but there were too many variables in this, which might not guarantee absolute success.
Therefore, Ye Qingzhou’s "bet" appeared crucial to her.
Moreover, from Lian Hongyin’s perspective, the young man in front of her was able to gather a significant amount of Power of Thought Ability and held a Divine Weapon, indicating he surely wasn’t an ordinary person.
The constant internal and external strife within the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, even if she advanced to Martial God, meant Lian Hongyin needed a powerful ally.
So, she began to probe Ye Qingzhou’s background: "May I know how to address the esteemed guest?"
"I am Ye Qingzhou, inheritor of Flame Emperor, currently journeying to Kunlun Divine Domain, seeking to explore various regions, expand my knowledge, and refine my skills."
In front of a Martial God, lying is not a wise choice.
Thus Ye Qingzhou chose to tell the truth, yet he did not reveal all his cards, he only mentioned the Flame Emperor’s inheritance and not that his reason for coming to Kunlun Grotto Heaven was to find the Xuanyuan Sword.
"I see, Hongyin welcomes the inheritor of Flame Emperor."
Upon hearing the name "Flame Emperor," Lian Hongyin’s attitude towards Ye Qingzhou immediately changed from before, becoming more cautious and respectful.
It’s known that Emperor is a divine title, every strong individual who can be called Emperor is a pinnacle existence among Martial Gods.
And among these, the Five Emperors of Human Race stand out the most; the five Emperors of Green, Yellow, Flame, White, and Black were, in Ancient Era, the most remarkable talents among people.
The Five Emperors not only had exceedingly high cultivation, but they also had significant achievements for heaven, earth, and all beings, thus earning the reverence and admiration of countless races.
Now that Ye Qingzhou revealed his identity as the inheritor of Flame Emperor, he immediately received Lian Hongyin’s appreciation and even flattery.
That night, Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen were invited to stay at the City Lord’s Mansion and received the treatment reserved for distinguished guests.
Even the maids serving them were charming Rakshasa Beauties, full of alluring glances, with an attitude ready to be picked by the gentlemen.
The customs of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom are like this; the Rakshasa Beauties treat their beauty as a weapon, desperately seeking the bloodline of the strong and even willing to offer themselves for it.
Ye Qingzhou saw Huang Liwen seeming a bit lost in thought, and quickly warned him: "Think of the two tigresses at home, if you lose your Primordial Yang Body here, when you go back, they’d probably eat you alive."
"..."
Huang Liwen was initially a bit restless, but upon hearing this, he was instantly chilled to the core.
Yaoo Yexin and Yann Xiyue, they have always been craving for him!
Sometimes being too popular is not a good thing, Huang Liwen now feels quite pressured.
But soon, he carefreely put aside his troubles and began to tease Ye Qingzhou: "Old Ye, do you think the Lian City Lord has taken a liking to you? Her looks, her temperament, tsk tsk, why not just go for it."
Ye Qingzhou shook his head and transmitted his thoughts to Huang Liwen: "No one’s kindness comes without a reason. After thousands of years within the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, all factions fight overtly and covertly, deeply rooted, I don’t want to be caught up in this, otherwise, I might die without knowing why."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Huang Liwen was startled, he hadn’t really thought about it this way: "Could it be you’re overthinking?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Didn’t you see the battle in Huajian City?"
Ye Qingzhou was forced to think deeply: "If I hadn’t intervened, Lian Hongyin would have undoubtedly died. Even if she pre-arranged a fake death scenario, the variables were too many, what’s assumed foolproof often turns into a dilemma at the last moment. If something truly unexpected happened, awaiting her would be a fate without a burial place."
During the earlier battle, Ye Qingzhou clearly observed.
Prior to the battle, Lian Hongyin cleaned the Inner City with Red Lotus Karmic Fire without hesitation, slaughtering many nobles, evidently preemptively clearing the field, the ones she must guard against are other aristocratic factions in the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom.
Such internal struggles have been shown countless times in human history, thus Ye Qingzhou found it unsurprising.
Without factions, things become oddly peculiar.
"According to you, aren’t we in great danger?"
Huang Liwen began to panic, thinking that staying at the City Lord’s Mansion was lucky, but now looking back, this was plainly a run-in with a major mishap!
Getting caught up in the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom’s internal battles might involve Martial Saints and even Martial Gods, such fights with Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen’s frail frames, how could they withstand?
"Old Ye, why don’t we just run away?"
At this moment, Huang Liwen didn’t care about enjoying luxury, only wanting to slip away from the gunpowder keg under his seat.
"Don’t panic, we’re here, let’s settle down; remember, we’re here to treasure hunt, haven’t got that Specific Character Seal yet, why rush?"
Seeing Ye Qingzhou valuing money over life, Huang Liwen didn’t know what to say.
The previous night’s carnage, he still shivers recalling it.
But see Ye Qingzhou being like this, still fixated on the treasures in the City Lord’s Mansion.
The morning of the next day, Huajian City’s situation had returned to calm.
After the fierce battle of the previous night, Lian Hongyin publicly beheaded three rebel leaders, quickly suppressing the riots in the city, even dispatching troops to clean up the rebel remnants outside.
After all, without the three Martial Saints to helm, the rebels in their leaderless state, resistance had become utterly futile.
Moreover, the rebel’s main force had mostly been decimated by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in the last fight of the night, the remaining were all kneeling and surrendering.
Without top specialists, the rebels were unlikely to stir up significant trouble.
Ironwork Market, Divine Blade Pavilion.
Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen were standing amidst rubble, the shop clearly long turned to bare ground due to a violent explosion.
Good news, the shop owner was now emotionally stable.
Bad news, the shop owner died in last night’s chaos.
"Oh? That’s a good find."
Ye Qingzhou picked up a dark red arm from the rubble, quite pleasantly surprised: "Duan Wu’s Profound Gold Qilin Arm?"
