Chapter 220: 220: The Spoiled Princess Is About To Cry
We’re almost there!
The two old men managed to drain all the spiritual energy from every artifact in the archive, but on the surface, everything seemed fine.
Only when you touched them would you be shocked to discover that the damn artifacts had turned into ashes!
Through communication with the old men, it was confirmed that the seal on the Abyss Rainbow was nearly unlocked, but due to absorbing too much, it would need some time to recover.
The Pagoda was also more than halfway there, its aura was even more powerful than before. The only regret was that Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t use it.
Otherwise, when the Pagoda appears, even the Dividing Gods would have to run!
“Boss, we’ve gone through all this trouble for nothing, couldn’t you at least score some loot?” AnRan was a little regretful.
During their first raid on another force’s scripture archive, they didn’t manage to get a single thing. Wasn’t this a waste?
What a waste of energy.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and smiled, thinking it would be better if AnRan didn’t know the circumstances.
On the other side, Zhuang Huanling was looking at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile on her face.
“Hey, how about you sell the two artifacts to me? I can give you plenty of benefits in return.’
Zhuang Huanling giggled, “Whatever you want, I can give you. Not only that, I’ll give you a chance to pursue me.”
Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
He studied Zhuang Huanling carefully, then reached out to touch her forehead.
This gesture made Zhuang Huanling livid, but for the sake of the artifacts, she had to swallow her anger.
However, Jiang Xiaobai’s next words completely caught Zhuang Huanling off guard.
“Sss, weird. You’re not running a fever, so why the nonsense?”
Zhuang Huanling felt a twitch at the corner of her mouth. Her body was shaking and her heart was throbbing.
This is a bit harsh.
It’s kind of stimulating huh?
“You… say that again?”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted, “I could repeat it a hundred times and it wouldn’t matter. You and my artifacts? Dream on.”
“You’re offering me a chance to pursue you. Well, my great-uncle’s cousin doesn’t even have as many fancy door locks as you.”
“Do you really think your good looks allow you to do whatever you want?”
“I thought my friend was among the most shameless in the world, but now I see there’s someone even more shameless than him. Who the hell do you think you are?”
Jiang Xiaobai’s words further infuriated Zhuang Huanling. But the question was, how was she going to retaliate?
She herself was poisoned, if she wanted to kill Jiang Xiaobai, she didn’t have an antidote.
What if she reported him? Then what about the artifacts?
Then everyone would know about the artifacts and the strong ones would definitely snatch them.
For the first time ever, Zhuang Huanling felt defeated.
And the defeat came from a scoundrel.
“So tell me, what will it take to give me the artifacts?” Zhuang Huanling slowly asked.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head: “It’s not as simple as giving them to you just because I want to. Don’t dream, we’ll go our separate ways after all this.”
“We won’t step on each other’s toes.”
“No, I must have the artifacts!” Zhuang Huanling blurted out. Upon hearing these words, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.
“You’re really pushing your luck, aren’t you?”
“If I don’t punish you, you won’t know how tall a horse horsefly’s eyes are?”
“Sure, you’re pretty, but man, your attitude stinks. You don’t have a princess fate, but you sure have a princess syndrome. I swear I’d eat shit standing on my head if you find a boyfriend with that personality! ”
Upon hearing these words, AnRan laughed.
“Boss, watch what you say. What if she really has one? Looking like she does, even with a bad temper someone’s still gonna want her.”
“Indeed, this Miss… this maiden is not lacking suitors!” Zhuang Huanling replied through gritted teeth.
She discovered that for the first time in her life, she was completely helpless against one person?
What was going on? How could it be like this?
Unfortunately, that was the case.
Zhuang Huanling had to resist the urge to kill Jiang Xiaobai several times. Instead, she could only watch him with resentment.
“Keep staring. No matter how much you look, the artifacts are out of your reach.”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly. He wasn’t afraid of others knowing he had powerful objects since those who knew were not few.
After all, good things are meant to be used, what’s the point of hiding them?
It’s even useless to use them sneakily!
“But you really stand out. You should consider changing that.” Jiang Xiaobai looked at Zhuang Huanling and suddenly said.
“What do you want to do?”
“Naturally, I’m going to disguise you. You’re too pretty, and if we go out to eat and someone takes a fancy to you, I don’t like trouble.”
“There are always some idiots who can’t take their eyes off a beautiful woman.
It’s like they’ve never seen a woman before.”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted and then moved forward to apply the disguise. Zhuang Huanling naturally resisted. However, soon, she started feeling uncomfortable in her stomach again.
The pleasant sour sensation returned.
“If you dare to move, I won’t give you the antidote.” Jiang Xiaobai said while eating the antidote and looking at Zhuang Huanling.
Zhuang Huanling clenched her teeth. She had to admit she was at the mercy of Jiang Xiaobai.
This guy always seemed to have her under control.
Left with no choice, she had to begrudgingly accept it.
Nonetheless, Zhuang Huanling was taking notes in her mind.
“Hmph, wait till this mistress gets the antidote, that will be your doomsday. I’ll torment you for a hundred years!” she thought.
With a cold snort in her heart, Zhuang Huanling let Jiang Xiaobai do as he pleased on her face.
Soon, with Jiang Xiaobai’s announcement of completion, a bronze mirror appeared in front of Zhuang Huanling.
When she saw her reflection, she was taken aback. “Bastard, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?!”
Zhuang Huanling couldn’t hold back her dissatisfaction.
Where was the divine beauty that used to be reflected in the mirror?
Her face was incredibly dark, and not only that, there was a black mole at the corner of her mouth with two hairs on it, and her face was full of freckles.
The sight of herself was absolutely vomit-inducing!
As a lover of beauty, Zhuang Huanling couldn’t stand it. She felt numbness all over.
She was genuinely disgusted!
But Jiang Xiaobai had a smile on his face. He knew very well that to handle such a woman was to go against her wishes.
You think being pretty gives you the right to mess around?
You care about your looks, don’t you?
Alright, I’ll turn you into an ugly monster and see if it disgusts you.
Clearly Jiang Xiaobai’s strategy had worked. Zhuang Huanling now felt more upset than ever.
She really wanted to cry!
