You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 442 - 218: Cyber Martial Dao, Mechanical Ascension (Part 3)
Ye Qingzhou naturally sensed the hostility from these people and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Afraid of being caught in the whirlpool of internal strife within the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, yet countless individuals wanted to get close to Lian Hongyin to seek benefits from her.
But trying to fleece a Martial God is easier said than done.
A single misstep leads to utter destruction, a fall from grace with no return.
It’s simply the madness and greed for riches driving people to their doom.
In this world, there’s always someone trying to snatch chestnuts from the fire.
After the battle finally subsided, it was time to reward those who had achieved merits.
Ye Qingzhou, having made contributions to "Protect the Emperor," not only obtained the noble status of Honored Guest Elder in the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom but also became Lian Hongyin’s personal advisor.
In addition, Lian Hongyin packaged and gifted Ye Qingzhou all the assets originally belonging to Duan Qianfeng, including Shanfeng Hao.
The value of this generous package was extraordinary, containing not only many shops under Duan Qianfeng’s name but also a mining vein outside the city, as well as Shanfeng Hao’s warehouse, piled high with Exotic Gold and Stones.
This was undoubtedly a fortune so vast it was hard to imagine, making even the nobles of the Inner City District envious.
Yet they didn’t dare utter a word, for just last night, Lian Hongyin, the City Lord, personally slaughtered half of Huajian City’s aristocracy.
Now that she has ascended to Martial God status, even killing the remaining half of the nobles in Huajian City would only draw flimsy rebukes from the Royal Capital. They couldn’t possibly demand a Martial God’s life for a bunch of idle eaters, could they?
Even if the Royal Capital dared issue such a foolish order, who would execute it?
Across the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, there are only five Martial Gods, including Lian Hongyin, and they each guard the borders. It’s utterly impossible for them to champion these minor nobles.
Thus, in Huajian City at this moment, Lian Hongyin is the sole authority, her decisions unquestionable and indisputable.
After the banquet, Lian Hongyin kept Ye Qingzhou back alone, arousing envy among Huajian City’s surrounding nobles.
City Lord’s Mansion, in the study.
Lian Hongyin removed her luxurious coat, leaving only a form-fitting dress that outlined her voluptuous and full figure.
"You’ve helped me ascend to divinity, achieving great merit. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Hasn’t the City Lord already rewarded me?"
Ye Qingzhou casually sat in front of Lian Hongyin, though he longed to ask for the Specific Character Seal, he refrained from uttering it right away.
After all, patience is key to enjoying a hot tofu.
"That was only part of the reward." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lian Hongyin’s gaze was teasing, her cherry lips parted, revealing gleaming white teeth as she spoke to Ye Qingzhou in a seductive tone: "If you wish, I can give you more."
"Is the Lian City Lord so eager to tie me to your chariot? I’m just a humble inheritor of the Flame Emperor, not intending to intervene in your kingdom’s disputes."
Ye Qingzhou enjoyed challenges, pursuing the thrill of life-and-death and victory along the path of Martial Dao.
But as for political struggles, he was not interested.
"Do you really want to refuse me?"
At some point, Lian Hongyin’s soft body had gotten close to Ye Qingzhou, sitting beside him, her Phoenix Eyes sparkling alluringly, gazing affectionately at his handsome face.
A Martial God stands at the pinnacle of all beings, Ye Qingzhou certainly wouldn’t foolishly believe that Lian Hongyin was genuinely interested in him.
"Save the beauty trap; Lian City Lord, say what you want straightforwardly."
Ye Qingzhou preferred simple exchanges of interests.
After all, he sold skills, not himself.
"Are you truly not tempted at all?"
Lian Hongyin chuckled lightly, extending her alabaster fingers to draw a circle on Ye Qingzhou’s chest: "Actually, I quite like you."
"Oh?"
Ye Qingzhou chuckled and asked, "Is it me you like, or the Flame Emperor’s inheritance?"
"What’s the difference?"
Even though her intentions were exposed, Lian Hongyin wasn’t angry, instead becoming bolder in showcasing her charm to Ye Qingzhou: "Perhaps, if only you nod, the entire Huajian City could be yours, and even I could be at your beck and call."
"No thanks, I’d like to live a few more years."
Ye Qingzhou was not keen on provoking the woman before him; lacking sufficient strength, the closer he got to the sun, the easier it was to burn himself.
As for Lian Hongyin’s intentions, Ye Qingzhou had some guesses at this moment, so he smiled and asked, "Lian City Lord wants a custom Divine Weapon, right?"
"Smart man, I am growing fonder of you."
Lian Hongyin looked at Ye Qingzhou with blazing eyes; after doing so much, it boiled down to her coveting the Flame Emperor’s inheritance from Ye Qingzhou.
In the world, forces capable of forging Divine Weapon are few and far between.
Within the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, only the Queen Mother of the West, the Feather Race, and the Linn Race possess the technology to forge Divine Weapon.
In the past, the Flame Emperor obtained the Celestial Human Casting Technique inheritance from the Feather Race, coupled with his own practice and insights, leading to the creation of the masterpiece "Celestial Casting Scripture."
Despite today’s Rakshasa Woman Kingdom possessing five Martial God level warriors, among them, only Sovereign Lian Huoji owns a Divine Weapon.
And the National Guardian Divine Weapon Simurgh Phoenix Dual Blades of Rakshasa Woman Kingdom are treasures granted by the Queen Mother of the West, a pair of male and female swords whose blade light dispels all evils.
Divine Weapon greatly enhances Martial God level warriors, especially a tailor-made one that can embody one’s Dao, maximizing the characteristics of Divine Power, offering the wielder unimaginable combat power boosts.
But crafting a Divine Weapon is far from easy.
Seeking from the Queen Mother of the West? Lian Hongyin doesn’t have such influence.
Approaching the Feather Race or Linn Race?
These two tribes, though not in conflict with the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, extracting a Divine Weapon would require a hefty price, potentially even becoming vassals to both tribes.
In comparison, Ye Qingzhou, the inheritor of the Flame Emperor, becomes the best choice.
