Legend of the Great Sage

ng has gathered all the heroes across the world to discuss matters within the inner city.”

“Alliance leader? Didn’t he step down already?”

Li Qingshan flicked the jade tablet of the alliance leader that hung from the hilt of the blade on his back.

“About that… alliance leader Zhang wanted to step down, but everyone objected.”

“I see.
You don’t need to say anything more.
What a shameless bunch.
What else can they be discussing? It’s obviously about how they can deal with me.
I’ll pay them a visit when I have the time.”

Li Qingshan rubbed his chin and smiled in an evil manner.

“My king, if you remain here, it might lead to some trouble.
Why don’t we go elsewhere, just in case it destroys the drinking mood.” Tie Xiong tried desperately to save the situation.

Li Qingshan smiled.
“Trouble? Even if they possess my courage, they won’t be bold enough to come.
They should be absolutely grateful that I’m not making any trouble for them.”

Tie Xiong did agree with that inside.
“Yes, yes, yes.
Let’s drink.” He filled Li Qingshan’s cup to the brim, hoping that he would have a good time and forget about this matter.

Li Qingshan drank several bowls of alcohol all at once before eating a few pieces of beef, alleviating his hunger.
Then he asked, “Where’s Hu Xian’er? Why isn’t she out yet?”

Compared to some martial arts gathering, this was the important stuff.

……

Behind the Myriad Flower parlour was a series of buildings.
At the top of a small, exquisite building.

Hu Xian’er was currently grooming herself in front of a mirror.
Sure enough, her face was extremely gorgeous.
She had a pointy chin and a pair of large eyes, filled with craftiness and intelligence.
A white gown covered her delicate body, which could send someone into a reverie of fantasies.

“Big sister, you’re becoming more and more beautiful, but if you continue at such a slow pace, the young heroes and young masters outside will probably run out of patience,” the young maidservant in green behind her said.
She was a little skinny and scrawny, but she was definitely a beauty in the making.
She bore some resemblance to Hu Xian’er.

“Let them wait.
It’s the last night anyway.
If they can properly enjoy themselves before their deaths, at least they can’t say I’ve betrayed their love for me.”

“There are quite a few lecherous men among them, but the ones like young master Lu and young hero Wang are serious about you, big sister.
Sigh, I feel reluctant about this just from the thought of it.”

“Hmph, serious? They’re merely lusting after my beauty.
If I were to show them my true form, would they still be serious? Don’t forget about how mother died!”

Hu Xian’er gazed into the mirror.
The maidservant in green immediately lowered her head and fell silent, fiddling around with the hem of her clothes.

Hu Xian’er looked away.
“If they want to get a piece of me, they can go and butcher that Li Qingshan in the northern region first!”

“But is it really a good idea to provoke that Li Qingshan? I heard his martial arts is unfathomable, and no one in the world can withstand a single swing of his blade.”

“I’m saying this exactly because of his exceptional martial arts.
I don’t care who ends up dying to him.
It’ll only add to my reputation!”

“But what if he comes for you? What do we do then?”

“How are you so cowardly? This is Xuanwu city.
Speaking of which, he’s just a stinky man.
Am I supposed to be afraid that he won’t submit to my beauty.
By then, I can kill whoever I want to kill.
I can avenge mother too.
Speaking of which, what’s that poisonous old thing doing? Why isn’t he here yet?”

“I’ll go out and take a look.” The maidservant in green immediately made her way out.

Hu Xian’er let out a sigh.
When their mother died, she had been far too young after all.
She did not understand the depth of this grievance, but she was unable to forget about it, such that she would even go as far as to work with the dangerous leader of the Five Poisons cult.

A while later, the maidservant rushed back, gasping for air.
She said frantically, “Bad news, big sister! Li Qingshan has come, and he’s demanding to see you!”

“What!” Hu Xian’er was alarmed and leapt to her feet.
Why tonight of all nights?

“Let’s flee! If we wait any longer, it’ll be too late!”

The maidservant in green gathered the jewellery and valuables in a hurry.
When she bent over, a red fox tail poked out.

“What’re you panicking for? Hide your tail.
Once I finish my makeup, I’ll go out and check him out!”

Hu Xian’er sat back down and continued to apply her cosmetics in front of the mirror.

“Big sister, your tail is also…”

“Shut up!”
