“I wonder how will Seventh Prince’s abilities compare against mine?” Zihou’s red lips curved up slightly in a faint smile as a deep blue aura suddenly radiated from her body. Her already-gorgeous face was now tinged by an ethereal glow.
Chu Yixuan’s pupils dilated and his blood pressure rose when he saw Zihou’s power. He felt faint as if all his blood had rushed toward his head.
“Wei Zihou, you bitch!” She had purposely offered him false praises just before revealing her own powers. He was 21 years old this year and just a level six blue aura, while she was already a level seven blue aura at the mere age of 17. Who was the true talented genius? Chu Yixuan was jumping with rage. Wei Zihou had obviously mocked him!
“Impossible, how did you become a level seven blue aura?” Feng Meier cried out in shock. She had barely accepted the fact that Wei Zihou became more beautiful. As pretty as an idiot was, she was still an idiot. But now Wei Zihou also proved to be a powerful cultivator—how could she endure it!
“I’m a level seven blue aura. Why, can’t take the truth?” Zihou felt that this was the best way to anger someone who was so perversely jealous of her.
“You bitch, I will kill you!” As expected, Feng Meier was enraged. Her lovely features had already been twisted hideously by envy. Then, she struck out toward Zihou with her long sword.
Chu Yixuan was not far behind. He also brandished his own sword and fast approached Zihou with a deadly determination.
“Xiaohei, teach these two mad dogs a lesson for me!” Zihou didn’t intend to engage them yet and called out a lazy command.
Roar~
At her command, a black shadow leaped off the tall walls of the General’s estate. The massive body was as big as an adult horse. Two sharp fangs gleamed scarily.
Already itching for a fight, the black leopard Xiaohei was beyond excited on receiving its mistress’ command. It immediately pounced toward the two of them.
This black leopard had been a Rank 3 level four Spirit Beast. After recovering from Zihou’s beating, it had gained another level.
Although Chu Yixuan was a level six blue aura and Feng Meier was a level one blue aura, they were no match for this black leopard.
The black leopard was extremely strong and agile. The two of them might be blue auras, but they had no fighting experience at all and were gradually forced back by the leopard.
“Ah! Wei Zihou, you coward! What’s the meaning of this? You’re making use of a Spirit Beast because you don’t dare to fight us yourself?” Feng Meier cried out miserably after suffering multiple lacerations by the black leopard’s claws. She knew she was no match for the beast and so tried to instigate Zihou with words.
“You can also use a Spirit Beast if you have the ability.” Zihou crossed her arms impudently.
Feng Meier’s hand trembled with rage at Zihou’s words.
“Oh! I forgot to tell you. Xiaohei’s claws are poisoned and his scratches will cause disfigurement.” Zihou smacked her forehead impishly. She had specially extracted the poison from the Piranha Flower that day at the West Mountains.
Feng Meier got a great shock. She had suffered multiple scratches all over her body, and even on her face, so…
“Impossible, how can I be disfigured. You bitch!” Feng Meier raised one arm and scrutinized the scratches there, only to see that the wounds had turned black and were blistering horribly. Her lovely fair arms now looked like two decaying limbs. It was totally disgusting.
Her arms looked like that. What about her face?
“Ah!” At the thought that her beautiful face was now utterly destroyed, Feng Meier no longer cared about anything else. She flung down her sword and crouched down on the ground, covering her face and wailing…
Her appearance was the most important thing in the world to her. She refused to believe that she was disfigured! It was impossible! Impossible!
Chu Yixuan glanced at the miserable Feng Meier with growing anxiety. So the black leopard’s claws really held venom, and a very potent one at that. If he was also poisoned…
No, he didn’t want to be disfigured!
Chu Yixuan steadied himself. He gave his all to defend against the black leopard’s attack, and at the same time tried to back away. He was more skilled than Feng Meier and so had not been scratched by the leopard yet. He could still be saved if he escaped now.
After he managed to reach a suitable distance, Chu Yixuan turned around with a malevolent expression. He hollered viciously. “Wei Zihou, I will make you pay for all this!”
“Eh, Seventh Prince. Why are you running away! Xiaohei still wants to play with you!” Zihou smiled cheekily as she waved at Chu Yixuan.
Chu Yixuan was nearly pushed to his breaking point by Zihou’s words, but he continued to hasten away.
“Xiaohei, no need to chase after him.” Zihou’s smile turned chilly as she watched Chu Yixuan flee. Chu Yixuan was just a piece of weak trash, but she could not kill him for now. As useless as he was, he was still a member of the royal household. They would be inviting endless trouble if they killed him within the Wei estate!
Moreover, Chu Yixuan was so weak that it didn’t matter where he went. He couldn’t do much anyway!
Chu Yixuan’s escape and Feng Meier’s crazy fit had Feng Yuanzheng’s wonderful plan go up in smoke. He never imagined that Wei Zihou was already a level seven blue aura and even had a Rank 3 Spirit Beast!
At that, he no longer tried to engage Wei Shirong but turned and rushed toward Feng Meier, to rescue her from the black leopard’s demon claws.
“Mei-er, Mei-er…” Feng Yuanzheng looked at Feng Meier’s rotting flesh with obvious disdain. His stomach churned at the sight and he nearly cast her aside.
“What kind of poison did you give Mei-er?” Feng Yuanzheng suppressed his revulsion and glared vehemently at Zihou.
“I have a feeling you won’t want to know. But since I’m so kindhearted, I’ll just tell you.” Zihou struck a nonchalant pose, as if totally oblivious to Feng Yuanzheng’s rage. “I specially went to the West Mountains to get this particular poison for your daughter… the venom of the Piranha Flower!”
Feng Yuanzheng’s eyes dilated in shock.
The venom of the Piranha Flower was among the most poisonous in the world. Although the plant itself had no powers, its venom required at least a Grade 5 pill to neutralize its effects. It was already very rare to find a Grade 4 pill in the whole of West Capital, not to mention a Grade 5!
With what was happening on the ground, Wei Guoting and Elder Qing also stopped their fighting.
The two of them descended to the ground. Wei Guoting had his hands crossed behind his back and looked completely unharmed, just that his breathing was somewhat heavy.
As for Elder Qing, his condition was worse off than Wei Guoting’s. He had one hand pressed against his chest and his face was flushed red as if trying to hold back something.
“Wei Guoting, I will let you off today. Next time, I will reduce you to ashes!” Elder Qing spat out vehemently, before flying up into the air and disappearing.
“Wei Zihou, I will never forgive you for this! One day, I will have your entire Wei Family suffer horrible deaths!” On seeing Elder Qing’s departure, Feng Yuanzheng knew that they were no longer in a position to continue fighting. Although reluctant, he suppressed his bloodthirsty hatred. With a vicious fling of his sleeves, he turned to leave.
Zihou observed Feng Yuanzheng’s departing profile with a calm expression. An obscure light flashed across her eyes.
Although they appeared to have won against Feng Yuanzheng today, this incident had pushed the Wei Family into the spotlight. Her talent and abilities, as well as Wei Guoting’s attainment of black aura status, would definitely trigger some kind of reaction from the other family clans, and even the royal family. The Wei Family would probably never find peace again. Nevertheless, she had no regrets. This was a necessary process if the Wei Family didn’t wish to be beaten down by others.
She believed that after this entire episode, the Wei Family would once again rise in all their glory!
And she would be standing right at the top with them!
