Plundering the Heavens - Chapter 368

Fang Ritian. Paired with the atmosphere and situation, such a name did seem rather mighty and arrogant. Even the cultivators who’d been provoked by Fang Xing earlier subconsciously swept their gaze across the area between his legs; his appearance was normal and his clothing was excessively ordinary, so the only reason he’d be so daring was because of a really powerful skill? Even the innately self-centered sea-snake beast had come specifically to speak with him, so everyone remained silent and watched from the side.

Hearing such a mighty name, the sea-snake beast smirked and also swept her gaze to the area between Fang Xing’s legs. A sweet smile formed as she pointed to the upper areas in the hall and softly said, “Fang Ri—this fellow Daoist Fang, Mr. Zhu from Golden Sea Turtle Island has asked me to pass a message to you: he’d like to invite your maid over for a few drinks. If you do not mind, of course, there will be great rewards afterwards….”

‘Eh? So someone just wants to take this kid’s maid?’ Upon hearing this, everyone who’d been watching turned away with disinterest. There were still some who thought there might be a good show, however; with how arrogant this kid was, it’d be fun to see what he did now that someone wanted his maid!

Fang Xing checked the uppermost area and saw a fat, oily man adorned in a gold shirt raising a glass to toast him. His face held an evil smile, and the gaze he directed towards the lotus girl was practically gleaming.

The people who’d come to this Red Convention naturally didn’t come with any good intentions. Some were here to wait for the Dragon King’s daughter and three fairies to take their pick, but there were also some who were a little impatient and had already made advances on the Colored Glass Palace’s beautiful maids. Unexpectedly, that Mr. Zhu or so of Golden Sea Turtle Island just so happened to take notice of the lotus girl and—disregarding his status—wanted to take her for himself

What Fang Xing didn’t know was this Mr. Zhu had actually come with a friend, and the reason he was eligible for an invitation was only due to the convenient location of his island and his past relationships with the Colored Glass Palace. Mr. Zhu himself knew that with an appearance like his, it would be extremely unlikely for him to be the special guest for either the Dragon King’s daughter or the three fairies—there was no need for him to wait for the arrival of the main characters. When he saw the lotus girl, however, he was moved by her appearance and immediately started holding evil thoughts.

Seeing that Fang Xing didn’t answer immediately, the smile on the sea-snake beast turned a bit complicated and she lowered her voice to say, “Fellow Daoist Fang, technically speaking, we cannot force you to do anything. However, that Mr. Zhu of the Golden Sea Turtle Island is not someone who can be easily messed with; for him to take a liking to your maid, it is best not to be too narrow-minded. You did bring your maid into this place, after all, so it was inevitable something like this would happen!”

The sea-snake beast had given an implied threat when it seemed Fang Xing wouldn’t agree, but how could she have known Fang Xing was in a state of disbelief someone would actually take a liking to this chaos magnet of a little miss? Sending her away was something he very much wanted to do, so he was surprised someone would be so unlucky as to willingly invite such a disaster upon themselves. Once his senses came back to him, he immediately grinned to the little miss and said, “Did you hear it? There’s so much more delicious food up there. Do you want to go?”

The little miss had already finished up all the food at the table shared by the trio and was feeling dissatisfied. The food had been finished, yet there was no sight of any maids replacing the empty plates; did they not understand etiquette? When she looked up to where the fatty was, however, her heart was suddenly moved at the sight of three tables filled with different foods and wines. Those at the upper levels were much better off than the lower level and had maids personally looking after them, ensuring that whatever wasn’t full was immediately replenished unlike down at the bottom. As soon as she noticed this, she put down the fish she was dipping in soy sauce and immediately nodded. “Go!”

Fang Xing instantly turned and replied to the sea-snake beast. “Take her!”

Such an easy and straightforward answer from Fang Xing left the sea-snake beast rather surprised. “Fellow Daoist Fang is so easygoing. Someone bring Daoist Fang another jug of wine!” After completing Mr. Zhu’s request, she naturally wasn’t going to make any trouble, so she just showed a calm expression before ordering someone to bring a jug of wine for Fang Xing as though she’d exchanged this single jug for the maid. In her mind, Fang Xing had readily given away his maid for the sake of courting favor with someone more powerful than him, and the contempt she held towards him grew even more. When the surrounding cultivators saw this, the gaze they had towards him became rather contemptuous as well and no one came to greet him anymore.

A grey-robed man seated at the highest point next to that of the Dragon King’s daughter saw the sea-snake beast guiding the extremely beautiful little maid over. He turned towards Young Island Master Zhu with a smile before making some teasing small talk, “Hehe, congratulations, Brother Zhu. You came along here with me, yet you’ve managed to obtain the embrace of a beauty in advance….”

……

Young Island Master Zhu also seemed surprised at how smoothly things had gone, and the pair of tiny eyes on his fat face squinted so much with glee they were nearly invisible. He waved his hand and replied, “Don’t mock me, Brother Jiang. I imagine neither the Dragon King’s daughter nor the three fairies would like me, and I don’t want any trouble either. For me to have found such a little beauty can be considered my luck!”

The Jiang-named man replied, “With Brother Zhu’s status, having a maid become yours would be a walk in the park. If you really like her, why not buy her? I, your brother, shall pay on your behalf; this can be considered my thanks for coming to the Red Convention with me!”

As the little miss walked closer, Young Island Master Zhu was able to see her appearance even more clearly, and he subconsciously felt he’d never seen anyone so beautiful before. He didn’t even have the presence of mind to speak, and all he could do was watch dumbstruck as the lotus girl walked closer. Seeing this, the Jiang-named man showed a slight smile and gestured for one of his servants to speak with Fang Xing.

By now, the little miss had already arrived in front of Young Island Master Zhu’s table. Her eyes stared at all of the rare delicacies in front of her without pause as she said, “I want all of the delicious food here. Make sure they bring the food without pausing or repeats, do you understand? Of course, those that I like can be repeated…. Also, you stay away from me; I feel disgusting when I look at you….”

A maid saying such things was like the heavens being overturned, yet when Young Island Master Zhu heard this, it was as though he’d been spellbound by a spirit. He nodded and showed a flattering smile before moving his giant fat body aside and raising a clean wine glass to fill up her wine in a near-trembling motion. Let alone embracing such a beauty like other cultivators, he didn’t dare to even touch the edge of her dress.

The Jiang-named man felt this was a bit strange. He’d originally thought that perhaps Young Island Master Zhu had been hit with some kind of hypnotizing spell, but after some careful sensing, he didn’t find any trace of such spells being cast. Right as he was about to question it, the lotus girl turned a smile towards him and he instantly felt as though everything was extremely normal. He smiled and lightly nodded, all while cutting off a portion of his Ghost Head Fish to place it on the table in front of the little miss with both of his hands. It left the little miss so happy her eyes curved into the shapes of crescent moons.

“Look at that girl, look at how beautiful and dainty she is. Giving me just one hundred supreme-quality Spirit Stones, don’t you think this is just too low?”

“How dare you, my young master is the disciple of Videha’s Jiang clan! For him to buy a maid from you….”

“Videha’s Jiang clan? Okay, two hundred supreme-quality Spirit Stones then, and not a single stone less!”

“You….”

“‘You’? What ‘you’? That maid of mine, she’s got long legs and a perky butt. Is two hundred supreme-quality Spirit Stones really too much? Tell me, is it really?”

At the lower area, Fang Xing took full advantage with his sharp tongue to scold the Jiang clan’s servant so much he couldn’t even speak back. In this manner, he successfully sold the little miss for two hundred supreme-quality Spirit Stones.

He was naturally overjoyed at this, but all the surrounding cultivators began to look at him with disdain when they saw this. They all believed he was a rogue cultivator who’d immediately sold his own maid without hesitation the moment he heard the buyer was a cultivator from Videha. Such a thing was indeed shameless; for that dainty little maid to have met such a master, her fate truly wasn’t good.

Fang Xing, on the other hand, felt that being able to easily sell this girl for so much was a great method for making money.

Just as everyone was murmuring amongst themselves, music suddenly flared up and a tall woman about twenty or so years old gracefully walked out with an escort of beautiful and scantily-dressed maids. The room of guests gathered their gazes on her, and the entire hall quickly grew silent. It was as though an invisible blade had cut off all sound—as though the guests’ souls had been stolen away by this woman’s breathtaking beauty.

As Fang Xing saw the tall woman escorted by the sea beasts, he picked up his wine glass with a smile and messaged over to the golden crow, “That’s the eldest princess? Her looks are so provocative….”

The golden crow looked closely as though he was able to see through her personality by studying her physical appearance. “Based on the rumors about her, she’s much more provocative than what you’re seeing here!” he messaged back.

“Perfect for my use!” Fang Xing snickered and carefully checked her out. The Dragon King’s daughter who was extremely popular with men had a very tall stature, nearly a head taller than ordinary men. Despite her stature, however, her waist was thin, her legs were long, and she had a perky rear and breasts. Her skin was like the reflection of snow and—coupled with a face that was utmost perfection—it truly could be said she could claim the hearts and souls of all.

This Dragon King’s daughter was different from the women Fang Xing had encountered thus far. She seemed born for the sake of men, with a more aggressive beauty that could leave someone thirsty and with a bleeding nose from a single glance. Her physique was curvy where even a little more would be too fat and a little less would be too skinny. Her face was perfect, but as cold and distant as though she was a thousand miles away from anyone else. When coupled with the rumors about her, however….

When he saw all of this, Fang Xing couldn’t help but feel this woman was just so seductive!

Even after the Dragon King’s daughter took her seat, the music did not stop and the three fairies of the northern mountains began to walk out hand in hand. The three of them were not as heart-penetrating as the Dragon King’s daughter, but they were nonetheless extremely beautiful and alluring. Although there were three of them, the differences in their appearance and age caused the attractiveness of each to be individually different. Whether it was cute, cold, or shy, everyone within the hall was mesmerized.

‘Who should I pick?’ Fang Xing’s eyes twinkled as he studied them from left to right. If only it was possible to have all of them….
