“Shhh! We don’t have the right to discuss about him. If he is a Fourth… His status is comparable to that of a Late Nascent Soul Realm expert in this city!”
“I am wondering how the tyrannical tower master would treat him…”
“Shhh! This is something beyond our scope of discussion. The tower master is said to be someone from the ‘above’…”
…
Ning Fan was unaffected by the chatter and gossip from the other rooms. He carried an emotionless face and followed Mo Yun to the third floor.
The furnishings and decorations of the third floor were so lavish that it almost looked like a palace. The scent that could usually be found in a female boudoir filled the air of the entire floor.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of a room which was to the internal of a palace, his nose caught a faint smell of blood.
Two Gold Core Realm cultivators who were dressed like servants were carrying a wooden stretcher out from the room with pale-white faces.
A white cloth which was stained with blood covered the object on top of the stretcher.
Ning Fan spread his spirit sense to check what was beneath the cloth. To his surprise, it was a dismembered corpse of a male cultivator! Judging from the spiritual qi in the blood of the corpse, the male cultivator was at least a Mid Nascent Soul Realm expert!
“This is…” Ning Fan was bewildered.
“ *Cough* I’ve already told you. My master is quick-tempered. By the way, she hates male cultivators the most… The man on the stretcher used to be a Fourth Revolution Pill Master. However, he always behaved in a frivolous manner towards the master. So…”
Ning Fan stared at the corpse in silence.
A Fourth Revolution Pill Master is someone that would be treated with great respect in a Mid-Grade Cultivation Country, someone that would be regarded as a useful individual in the Lost World Palace. However, he ended up serving as a tool for the master of the southern tower to vent up her anger.
It was an obvious fact that the Lost World Palace was trying to entice skillful pill masters since they were being provided with preferential treatment. But the master of the southern tower could dare to disregard the intentions of the Lost World Palace… She must have a status that was far more superior than anyone else here!
Now, Ning Fan really was worried about the temper of the female master. The chances of getting killed and dismembered was quite high if there’s a disagreement.
I should have gone to the other towers…
Ning Fan helplessly muttered to himself. His Yin Plucking Finger might not be able to bewitch her as the difference between their cultivation realms was worlds apart.
It would be too unjustifiable if I were to die by her hands because of her bad temper…
But if I accidentally reveal my trump card and kill her…
I would be pursued by True Immortals from the heavens!
At the end of the day, I would end up dead as well…
In the internal palace, a few Gold Core Realm maidservants were attending to a young lady.
She wore red clothes which was of the size suitable to a teenage girl who had yet to hit puberty. There was also a long lava-red whip ornamented with eagle plumes hung around her shoulder.
Her appearance showed that she was just a 12-year-old girl. Her hair was tied into a loose bun that sat in the center of her head, adorned with a blood-red jade hairpin. Even her nails were painted in red colour. The delicate features on her gorgeous oval face made her look pretty and innocent. However, anyone who stared into her cold eyes would find her to be not innocent at all. For cultivators, they would definitely sense a trace of blood-red intent flashing in her eyes.
“How dare a mere Fourth Revolution Pill Master try to bewitch me… What a disgusting man! I see no difference in all the men under the heavens from him! All men are loathsome with their inability to restrain themselves from their urges… Right. Mo Yun said he wanted to see me. What’s the matter?”
“Reporting to mistress. Apparently, Mo Yun has found a Fourth Revolution Pill Master…”
“Really… If that person’s gaze stops on my body for more than a period of three breaths, his life will not be spared… If he tries to retaliate, we will annihilate him and his entire sect…” The young lady spoke in an unsympathetic tone.
“What if this person is well-behaved?” The maidservant asked gingerly.
“Hmm. Then he will be considered as a good man… Just cut off his sausage so that he can become one of my servants too.”
“What if this person is a Fifth Revolution Pill Master?”
“If he’s a Fifth Revolution… I can’t simply bully a Fifth Revolution Pill Master. Hai… It’s so troublesome.” The young lady paused as if she was thinking of a way to torment Ning Fan if he really was a Fifth Revolution Pill Master.
…
After hearing her words, the most erogenous zone on Ning Fan’s body turned chilly as he imagined losing that body part.
Am I going to suffer that fate?
Now, he’s going to face a devilish little lady!
