Chapter 948 – Red Lotus Jade Pendant

“Shut up. If that happens, I’ll be very sad.”

“Why? Are you interested in Miss Su Xue? A prodigy favored by the heavens? I think you need to wake up. You aren’t even qualified to talk to a person of that level. Daydream about these things only when you’ve reached the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage.”

“I don’t even dare dream of such things. However, Su Xue is still the goddess of my dreams. Who would want their goddess to marry someone else just like that?”

As Su Xue walked past, the people around started to talk. Some of them were not subtle with their discussions, but she was not angered. Instead, she even had a rare, small smile on her face. She loved the feeling of being talked about and worshiped.

“I’ve been away from Underworld City for a long time. I wonder what happened while I was gone ...” Su Xue said, looking around with a smile.

The surroundings did not change at all, but some old faces had disappeared and been replaced by new faces. The turnover rate in the Underworld Army had always been shocking.

“You guys don’t understand just how terrifying she was before she left Underworld City. She almost broke General Mo’s record in Underworld Qi cultivation. She always won first place in all types of combat. Other people trembled when her name was mentioned. When she went to the Underworld Battlefield to train, I heard that she even killed a Divine Martial Realm expert herself. The Su family has the Purple Phoenix Body, and although she isn’t from the main branch of the family, she still has an awakened Purple Phoenix Body. That is why General Mo placed a lot of attention on her.”

“General Mo is one of the most powerful people in the Su family. After she was favored by General Mo, Su Xue instantly rose to the top ranks of the family.”@@novelbin@@

“She’s young but has achieved so much. Very few people in the whole estate have done the same things.”

While listening to these praises, Su Xue had already made her way to Purple Mo Pavilion. She was very familiar with the place and could find her way around without anyone leading her.

“Greetings, Miss Su Xue.” The two Second Divine Martial Stage Ten Thousand-Sergeants at the grand entrance bowed slightly.

Su Xue was at the First Divine Martial Stage. According to the Underworld Army’s rules, she should have been the one bowing to them. However, due to her special identity, it was the other way around.

She did not react to them and merely entered the pavilion.

Su Mo was at the Fourth Divine Martial Stage and had reached the peak of the Peak Martial Realm. He was just one step away from City Lord Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan’s Divine Intuition had a five-kilometer radius, while his was about three to four kilometers.

Naturally, he had anticipated Su Xue’s arrival.

In the great hall, he sat at the topmost seat. Looking down at her beautiful figure peeking through the armor, Su Mo’s eyes shone with desire as she walked up to him.

He had not touched a woman in far too long.

When she saw him, Su Xue’s face turned from icy to passionate. The dark, icy girl who scared the masses now smiled warmly. She gently knelt at his feet and said, “Greetings, General Mo.”

“Get up and let me take a good look at you.” Su Mo’s tone revealed a hint of approval.

Su Xue stood up and let Su Mo’s eyes inspect her beautiful figure.

“Xue’er, come sit on my lap,” he said.

“Mmhmm.” Su Xue nodded shyly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and sat on his lap, looking at him with dreamy eyes.

“Aren’t you going to take your armor off first?” Su Mo asked with a smile.

“Not yet. Let’s talk business first,” she said, a little mischievously.

“Alright.” Su Mo was also mulling over a big problem, so he started telling her about it.

“Why were you in such a hurry to get me back here? Didn’t that bitch Ye Xuan say you can only marry her once you’ve reached the Fifth Divine Martial Stage?” When Ye Xuan was mentioned, Su Xue’s eyes were filled with jealousy.

When she was born, City Lord Ye Xuan’s talent was already well-known and people worshiped her. Su Xue had to work very hard to earn even the possibility of catching up to her.

“It is not that easy to reach the Fifth Divine Martial Stage. Although I’m not far from it, it’ll still take at least ten years. I can’t endure for that long, plus, something unexpected happened recently,” said Su Mo in a low voice.

“What is it?” Su Xue cocked her head with interest. Her eyelashes were very long and curled slightly, making her look innocent. Her bright eyes made her look adorable.

“Ye Xuan’s brother is a twenty-nine-year-old who is a First Divine Martial Stage prodigy. He recently came to Underworld City and I think he will be living with her from now on,” said Su Mo.

“That’s strange. What’s her brother’s return got to do with you getting the right to use the Red Lotus Jade Pendant?” Su Xue asked anxiously in a low voice.

Su Mo pounded his fist gently onto the table next to him.

“Our family has sacrificed too much over this thing. I have waited silently for many years, and I am the only hope for the family. There is zero tolerance for any errors. Her brother may cause this to fail. Xue’er, think about it. The Red Lotus Jade Pendant is able to nourish the Martial Soul, increase one’s comprehension abilities, boost cultivation, and even offer protection. It is a treasure passed down in the Ye family for generations. That item is the reason why that woman has been stronger than me since we were young. And right now, her cultivation seems to have almost reached the peak. She is standing at the peak of the Underworld Estate and has lifted the whole Ye family to prosperity. And now, she and her brother are going to be by each other’s side all the time. Her younger brother is also a prodigy. Tell me, what do you think is going to happen?” Su Mo asked solemnly.

Su Xue suddenly understood. She said anxiously, “It is very likely that she will pass the Red Lotus Jade Pendant to her brother as he will inherit her position a millennia from now. That is why she has no choice but to do this, for her family’s future. I know that you want to marry Ye Xuan because you can have partial control over the pendant after consummating with its owner, but she’s just too prudish!”

When she talked about City Lord Ye Xuan, Su Xue’s eyes filled with jealousy and she clenched her fist.

“If she passes the pendant down to her brother, then everything I have sacrificed for her and the time I spent cultivating this relationship would be ruined overnight,” Su Mo said anxiously.

His aim was to conquer Ye Xuan’s body in order to get the right to use the Red Lotus Jade Pendant.

Su Xue had a sudden thought. If the pendant was passed to the City Lord’s brother, then the task could become easier. She could seduce and bed him, and she would also control the jade pendant. However, she did not say this out loud, as she knew that Su Mo had also surely thought of this. There were two reasons why she kept her mouth shut. First, she was currently Su Mo’s secret lover, so why would he give her to the brat Ye Xuan? Second, she did not belong to the main branch of the Su family and was not fully trusted by the Su family’s leaders. They would not want someone they did not trust wielding the Red Lotus Jade Pendant.

Therefore, she was smart enough to keep her mouth shut.

She was still young and only at the First Divine Martial Stage. If not for Su Mo’s protection, she would not be as highly ranked as she was.

She loved her current status very much.

“General Mo, what are you going to do now that her brother is in the way?” asked Su Xue, steering the conversation.

“This is the key. I have sent Su Yi to assassinate her brother twice. The first time, it was in Underworld City, but a mysterious brat saved him. Then Ye Xuan and that brat both joined the Underworld Army and entered the Underworld Battlefield to train. I sent Su Yi into the Underworld Battlefield to kill him, but I didn’t expect them to coincidentally meet that brat Long Chen again, who rescued Ye Xuan and brought him back to the City Lord’s mansion.”

“That brat’s quite something to rescue Ye Xuan from Su Yi! Is he at the Second Divine Martial Stage?” Su Xue asked, surprised.

“No. Su Yi checked and found that he is only at the Seventh Divine Martial Stage. He just has many strange tricks up his sleeve.” Su Mo paused and took out a few pieces of paper from his storage page. “I asked someone to gather information about that brat. Take a look.”

Su Xue sensed the severity of the problem. It was just too coincidental. She read the few pieces of paper from start to end and looked shocked, though also contemptuous. She said, “His true combat abilities should be at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage. Perhaps very few Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage people can defeat him too. He also has many tricks he can use to run away, which is how he was able to rescue Ye Xuan and flee. That brat is not as strong as I imagined. However, after two failed assassination attempts, I’m sure that bitch has become suspicious. We have already put her on high alert, and if we act again, it will surely expose us. It will not be wise to attack him again. It looks like we’ll have to make it a long-term plan.”

“I was thinking exactly the same thing.” Su Mo looked at her approvingly, caressing her plump buttocks.

Su Xue whined and leaned into his chest, then patted his chest and jokingly said, “You haven’t told me why you called me back here, you jerk.”

Su Mo smiled and said, “Because I missed you, of course. Your father, Su Tian, and the others are all still guarding the Underworld Blood Sea, so I don’t have anyone to talk to. With that woman Ye Xuan around, I’ve even got to act like a proper gentleman; it’s making me so bored. It’s great that you’re back.”

“Nonsense. It’s never that simple. I’m sure you want me to do something,” said Su Xue with a smile, gazing up at him.

Su Mo shook his head and said resignedly, “You guessed correctly. There’s a martial tournament in ten days’ time. Join it and win first place for me.”
