Free Web NovelChapter 864: Chapter 23: The Eldest Miss of Sky City
In the next moment, the pressure from Kong Hou belonging to the Dragon Clan instantly poured out. Cui Wei felt an overwhelming force that nearly made her cough up blood and explode, enveloping her.
The suppression of bloodlines and the breath of death, she experienced both in that brief moment, and cold sweat broke out all over her body, like a drowning human at the brink of death.
This woman is not human!
What is she?
A Divine Beast? What kind of Divine Beast? A legendary Ancient Divine Beast?
A Divine Beast this powerful, why would she disguise as a human and stay by a human woman’s side?
Astonishment filled Cui Wei’s heart, she was chilled all over and unable to move.
Kong Hou withdrew the pressure, stood up from Cui Wei, and sat on the edge of the flowerbed, coldly watching Cui Wei lying on the ground.
Cui Wei panted heavily, feeling as if she had just escaped death; it was the first time she had such a clear realization.
"Come sit over here." Kong Hou patted the flowerbed next to her, speaking with a dangerous tone.
Cui Wei slowly crawled up and cautiously sat beside Kong Hou. Her heart was filled with fear and reverence.
It was the crushing suppression of race and bloodline.
"Are you stupid or what? You’re a Spirit Beast! Don’t you know humans are the most cunning and shameless? Why do you get deceived so easily? I really feel like squeezing you to death. And you even fall for a human? Is your brain really the size of a soybean? How can you like a human? What do you like about that man? That he can lie? Steal? Or that he’s a womanizer with a bunch of women around him?" Kong Hou scolded her with a tone of heaping disappointment on iron that won’t turn steel.
Cui Wei didn’t dare to make a sound, bowing her head to listen to Kong Hou’s scolding.
"Didn’t you see? He only pays attention to things useful to him. When he left, whom did he take away? He took the woman with the Tree Heart. Even though that Tree Heart is fake." Kong Hou continued her reprimand with wide eyes, "Can’t you clear your mind and think carefully? I know you’re not convinced inside, it’s okay, you’ll be convinced eventually. When you are, come talk to me. Now, come and read the book!"
"Yes, master." Cui Wei took the book handed over by Kong Hou, replying respectfully. Upon hearing Kong Hou say something similar to Tianmiao, she didn’t even have the courage to refute.
Seeing the book title, Cui Wei was slightly taken aback. What kind of books are these?
"What are you dazing about, hurry up and read. I’ll be here watching, you read for me! I won’t leave until you finish one. If you don’t finish, see how I’ll deal with you." Kong Hou glared at Cui Wei and urged.
"Yes." Cui Wei couldn’t raise a trace of anger or reluctance in her heart, she completely submitted before the Dragon Clan.
Initially, it was under Kong Hou’s orders that Cui Wei was reading these stories, but after a few dozen pages, she became engrossed. Even when Kong Hou called her, she didn’t notice.
Upon seeing her in this absorbed state, Kong Hou realized her task was complete, patted her bottom and left.
...
At the moment Kong Hou leaked out her aura, Dong Xiao and Tianmiao both sensed it.
"The little chubby girl has made a move, huh." Tianmiao laughed.
"I’m really afraid she’ll get angry and beat that little puppy cow to death." Dong Xiao said helplessly. If she really does, the master would have to use power to resurrect him. It would trouble the master.
"Killing is unlikely, half-dead is very possible." Tianmiao turned her head to glance in the direction of the Fenglan Sect Master’s study. Did Wei Yunshu also sense it?
Wei Yunshu naturally felt it too.
He put down the pen in his hand, but when he tried to capture that powerful energy again, he could no longer feel it.
Frowning slightly, he thought for a moment; he wanted to summon Qin Yu to investigate, but for some reason, his brows relaxed a moment later and he continued his writing.
...
And the matter of the true and false Sky City Eldest Miss spread rapidly.
Someone impersonated the Eldest Miss of Sky City to steal the Fenglan Sect’s Treasure of the Sect, the Tree Heart, not knowing the real Sky City Eldest Miss had long arrived at Fenglan Sect, just waiting for the fool to jump into the pit. In the end, the fake Sky City Eldest Miss stole a fake Tree Heart.
Wei Yunshu was talented, within a few short days he had written this story, with elegant penmanship, beautiful language, and lively plots. Then with the fastest printing, it was sold in major bookstores worldwide.
The streets and alleys were buzzing with the story, people talked about it with great interest over their meals and teas. All mocked the imposter’s foolish behavior, and praised the brilliance and might of the Fenglan Sect Master, and the legend of the Sky City Eldest Miss became even more mysterious.
And speaking of Cui Wei, who was sweeping.
After getting the book from Kong Hou that day, she initially read passively, later actively. After reading for a few days and nights without rest, her state of mind had transformed. Is this what love is like?
Will he come and rescue me?
Will he?
