Xie Hui sat on the main seat, listening to the flatteries coming from the Enforcement Eldersâ mouths. He smiled faintly and nodded his head while raising his wine cup in a toasting gesture. No one knew what was going on inside this Young Lordâs mind.
Chen Xiaofeng went on, âRumors say that Shi Xiaofei has an innate born Buddha Physique, once Young Lord coupled with her, Young Lordâs cultivation would definitely grow by leaps and bounds!â
Another round of bootlicking ensued, filling the spacious hall with laughter and cheers.
âHave all the guests been notified?â Xie Hui asked while placing his wine cup down.
âAs early as half a month ago, we have sent out invitations to all the renowned experts, but it happened on such short notice, so the Distinct Void Door and White Phoenix Houseâs Sovereigns canât make it.â Chen Xiaofeng answered, âThey only sent some Elders over.â
Xie Hui nodded, âItâs fine.â Then, he asked another question, âDoes Shi Fantian know?â
Chen Xiaofeng replied, âHe does, but that old wrinkly-skin flew into a rage and had the Cosmos God Cult messenger disciples we sent all killed!â
âShi Fantian, that old fogey, doesnât know whatâs good for him!â Another Enforcer barked, âHe should be thankful that our Young Lord took an interest in his daughter, how dare he kill our Cosmos God Cult disciples!â
Xie Hui gently waved his hand at the people below, âWeâre in the wrong in this matter for setting the wedding without consulting the elders, Shi Fantian is an empireâs Emperor on Snow Wind Continent, itâs only natural heâs upset.â
Chen Xiaofeng and the rest quickly nodded in agreement with Xie Hui and the clamors about Shi Fantian stopped immediately. When all was said and done, Shi Fantian would be the Young Lordâ father-in-law.
âAny movements on the Asuraâs Gate side?â In an abrupt change of topic, Xie Hui inquired another question.
He Zhi was the one who answered, âAfter the Enigma City matter, Asuraâs Gate didnât have any other movement, but the Qi Familyâs Patriarch was killed by Huang Xiaolong, whereas the remaining members were taken under the Asuraâs Gate. Half of the fourteen big families hastened to submit under the Asuraâs Gate as if hot water scalded their feet!â
A cold gleam flickered passed Xie Huiâs eyes.
âYoung Lord, that Huang Xiaolong actually dared to slaughter close to ten thousand of our Cosmos God Cult disciples!â A one-eyed old man sitting further down from He Zhi spoke up, âSuch impertinence!! The Cosmos God Cult doesnât exist in his eyes!â
This one-eyed old man was none other than Hu Chen, one of Cosmos God Cultâs Enforcement Elders and also Hu Guangâs father.
âThatâs right, Young Lord. If we do not respond in kind, all the experts on Starcloud Continent would think that the Cosmos God Cult is afraid of Huang Xiaolong!â A Legacy Hall Elder, Sun Luyu stated.
Chen Xiaofeng and the others around echoed the same sentiment, suddenly the entire hall was filled with angry clamors. Xie Hui gently pressed his hand in the air, calming the group of people.
âFather is in Peace Emperor World, he wonât be able to return for a short while.â Xie Hui continued with an impassive expression, âLet Huang Xiaolong live a few more days for now, when Father returns for the Grand Martial Exchange and conquers Starcloud Continent, Huang Xiaolong and the Asuraâs Gate will be on the top of the kill list!â
Conquer Starcloud Continent!
Chen Xiaofeng and everyone were genuinely shocked by this revelation.
âYoung Lord, has Lord Leader...?!â He Zhi ventured with caution.
Xie Hui nodded, âCorrect, Father has broken through God Realm.â
Chen Xiaofeng, He Zhi, and everyone else showed an astounded expression on their faces, then it turned into euphoria as they rushed to their feet, conveying their congratulations.
An hour later, the party dispersed for the night. Xie Hui too returned to his own residence courtyard.
His residence courtyard was brightly lit even though it was deep into the night, exuding a festive ambiance. In the middle of the room was an extra large bed, where a beautiful young woman sat in a waiting posture. This peerless beauty was Shi Xiaofei.
Watching Xie Hui walk into the room, Shi Xiaofei stood up angrily with her eyes glaring at Xie Hui. Even Shi Xiaofeiâs angry expression was a sight to behold.
âWhat did you do to Xiaorou and Xiaoyue?â Shi Xiaofei demanded.
Xiaorou and Xiaoyue were the two maids that accompanied her from the Blessed Buddha Empire. Both girls followed Shi Xiaofei since her childhood days, thus their relationship was very good.
Facing Shi Xiaofei that looked like she wanted to swallow him whole, Xie Hui maintained a suave appearance, âDonât worry, theyâre fine. However, if you do not cooperate tomorrow, I cannot guarantee what will happen to them tomorrow night.â
âYou... despicable!â Shi Xiaofei gnashed each word through gritted teeth.
Xie Hui took no offense, a tiny grin emerged on his face instead, âThank you very much for your compliment. I will show you just how despicable I can be.â
Shi Xiaofei was heaving with anger from Xie Huiâs words, her chest moving up and down. Xie Hui didnât bother to conceal his gaze as he stared at Shi Xiaofeiâs bosom.
Noticing his eye level, Shi Xiaofeiâs hands flew to cover her bosom, spewing fire from her eyes, âXie Hui, donât even dream of touching a hair on my body!â
Xie Hui retorted, âDo you think you have any hopes of resisting?â
Shi Xiaofeiâs face flushed red with anger. From the time she was captured, the other side fed her something unknown to her that hindered her from initiating a shred of battle qi from her Qi Sea.
The current her was vulnerable even facing the lowest of Cosmos God Cult disciple, powerless to resist, not to mention going against someone like Xie Hui.
Shi Xiaofei resorted to glowering at Xie Hui with an icy gaze, âTo tell you the truth, I already have someone I like.â
This drew a frown from Xie Hui.
âCompared to him, youâre not even qualified to carry his shoes!â Shi Xiaofei added with a vengeance.
Xie Hui broke into a unruly laughter instead of getting angry, âI, the Young Lord of Cosmos God Cult, am not even qualified to carry his shoes?â It sounded like the worldâs funniest joke in Xie Huiâs ears.
Indeed, if one were to compare identities, relying on his status as the Cosmos God Cultâs Young Lord, not only on Starcloud Continent, but even in the entire Martial Spirit World, no more than three people could rival him.
Regardless of that, the woman he set his eyes on, Shi Xiaofei, was saying it to his face that he, the Undefeated War God Xie Hui, wasnât qualified to carry that personâs shoes?
If any of the Cosmos God Cult Elders like Chen Xiaofeng were here, watching Xie Huiâs wanton laughter, they would know that Xie Hui was truly angered at this moment. There werenât many things or people that could truly anger their Young Lord.
âIâm really curious, who is this person that has captured the heart of Snow Wind Continentâs number one beauty?!â His laughter died abruptly, a blizzard cold aura seemed to come from Xie Huiâs body.
Shi Xiaofeiâs momentum matched Xie Huiâs, âHe will come save me tomorrow, you will know at that time.â
âGood.â Xie Hui did not press the matter further, âI shall wait and see the identity of this person whose shoes I donât even qualify to carry!â Murderous intent flitted in Xie Huiâs eyes, âTomorrow, if he dares to come, I shall fight him personally right in front of you, dig his heart out and feed it to the dogs!â
âYou!â Shi Xiaofei choked with anger.
âBut, I wonât let him die so easily.â A wicked sneer hung on Xie Huiâs mouth, âTomorrow night, Iâll make him kneel here, in this room, and watch how I press you under my body, at my mercy; let him hear your sultry moans in pleasure. Still, heâs blessed to be able to see your enticing naked body before he dies.â
Shi Xiaofeiâs eyes turned scarlet, her chest heaved up and down, her hands raised high wanting to slap the person in front of her.
Xie Hui reached out, grasping her wrist, then pulled it to his nose and took a whiff of her intoxicating scent, laughing as he said, âI didnât expect that even your hand smells so nice.â
Shi Xiaofei was rendered into speechless anger and humiliation.
âFret not, my dear, I wonât touch you tonight. I will save that beautiful moment for tomorrow night.â Xie Hui turned around and left in a good mood, leaving the sound of his laughter echoing in the room.
Warm tears rolled down Shi Xiaofeiâs cheeks watching the receding silhouette.
Tomorrow, will he really come save her?
Although she wished he would come, would he really appear tomorrow? Perhaps he didnât even know that she had been captured, having no idea at all that tomorrow...
