Ten days later, Xu Que traveled west as fast as he could. He even took several Teleportation Devices before finally arriving in the Waste Realm!
During his travels, he met numerous young cultivators who hit on him, making him so angry that he hollered several times “I’m a man” but he failed to deter them. Instead, he attracted more pursuers. They all felt that he was a woman with character!
Those experiences made Xu Que very puzzled. Despite transforming into a gorgeous woman with an aura of elegance, he thought it was unreasonable to attract so many cultivators. Xu Que had passed the limit of endurance, and he called out the System to inquire. He learned that he had gained a lot of Charm Points before, and the System had a rule that when the Host changed to a woman, the Charm Points would increase tenfold.
“D*mn it! If I had known this, I would have changed into an ugly girl!” Xu Qu shook his head helplessly and continued on his journey. After all, it cost him 50,000 Acting Tough Points for that Celestial Grade Disguise Puppet. It was really unnecessary to waste it because of a little difficulty! Besides, the Charm Points weren’t necessarily good or bad. Since that effect was achieved after a tenfold increase, it might be useful in the future. As long as it wasn’t particularly troublesome, there was no need to change that identity!
When Xu Que arrived near the entrance of the Waste Realm, the place was already full of tents and crowded with people. Apart from some cultivators who were qualified to enter the Waste Realm, there were more people here who were seeking enlightenment or even to do business. Many Chambers of Commerce and disbanded cultivators had discovered the business opportunities. They had set up a market here specializing in the sale of elixirs and Magic Weapons. They were also some rare materials and Immortal Elixirs.
Of course, there were also many people who came with the idea of killing and robbing others’ treasures. Although the Waste Realm’s entrance was under the control of major forces, this time there were a number of disbanded cultivators who had attained places to enter. As long as the bandits waited for them to come out, the disbanded cultivators would certainly be tracked down and killed!
The first thing Xu Que did when he arrived was find a place to rest. He paid a higher price than most of the inns and moved into the room. But Xu Que’s appearance had amazed many men inside and outside the market. In less than half a day of his arrival, his reputation was known all over the market.
“This is big news!”
“There’s a great beauty that came to the market!”
“What beauty, that’s a fairy, a fairy who is out of this world!”
“That’s right. Don’t tarnish the fairy with words like beauty!”
“Her eyes and smiles, it makes me feel that I’m in a fairyland. It’s splendid!”
“It’s a pity that the fairy has a strange personality. Nobody knows her name, let alone her origin!”
“She’s too cold and distant.”
“Our Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm has a ranking of ten beautiful women, but this fairy can be ranked first. Why haven’t we heard of her?”
Many people discussed it, and they finally gave Xu Que a nickname—Ice Fairy. It described her cold personality, which was akin to an iceberg. It was hard for outsiders to get close to her.
However, Xu Que didn’t come out after he went into the inn. He hid in the room and extended his Soul Strength out to the edge of the Waste Realm, to find out what was the nature of the Restrictive Spell around the Waste Realm. After all, it was a bit difficult to get in through the entrance guarded by countless aces in the Heaven Celestial Stage. Moreover, there was even a faint but terrifying presence—it was naturally the presence of an ace in the Golden Celestial Stage.
If he broke into the entrance forcefully, Xu Que felt that the success rate was too low, and maybe he would be slammed to death in minutes. Hence, he had to find a new way to get in. He had to look for other areas with a weaker Restrictive Spell around the edge of the Waste Realm and open a new entrance. After several days of exploration, Xu Que had succeeded! He had managed to find a place around the edge of the Waste Realm where the Restrictive Spell was the weakest.
However, with his strength, it was still very difficult to break through that area. He even felt that it would be very difficult for an ace in the Golden Celestial Stage to break through.
If I use the System to break the spell, combined with my Act-Tough King’s Leg, maybe it would work. But it would take a long time and I would certainly be discovered. Xu Que sat on a chair, cupped his chin with his hand, and pondered the possibilities.
He needed to have enough time to break the spell, and he estimated that it would take at least six hours. Six hours weren’t long, but in a place where there were aces from the Heaven Celestial Stage and the Golden Celestial Stage, even one hour was too long. If he accidentally made a little bit of noise, it was enough to let those great powers bolt over and kill him immediately.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, someone was knocking on his door.
Xu Que looked around and heard a voice coming through the door.
“Ice Fairy, excuse me, I wonder if you’re free, our Young Master would like to invite you over for dinner!”
Ice Fairy?
F*ck!
When Xu Que heard that nickname, the corners of his lips twitched, and he almost darted out to punch that person.
However, after hearing his entire request, he hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Who’s your Young Master?”
“Ice Fairy, our Young Master is the eldest son of the Zhan Family, also the elite disciple of the Dingtian Academy, Zhan Gaoli. He’s also the 20th on the Human List!” The person outside the door responded politely, but there was a trace of pride in his tone.
Looking at the whole of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, that family’s Young Master Zhan had a really extraordinary status. He wasn’t only ranked 20th on the Human List, but he was also from a prestigious family. Many people were queueing up to know him!
“Oh? Dingtian Academy?” Xu Que heard that, and his eyes immediately lit up.Then he laughed and replied, “If Young Master Zhan wants to invite me to dinner, I’m going!” Xu Que stood up directly, opened the door, and walked out slowly. Outside the door, the young servant was stunned by Xu Que’s appearance and mesmerized. It was his Charm Points doing all the work. After a moment of foolishness, the young servant immediately collected himself. He lowered his head and said nervously, “Ice Fairy, this way please!”
“Sure!” Xu Que smiled, and the crowd seated downstairs was dazzled in an instant.
A million dollar smile—that was probably what it meant!
Subsequently, under the guidance of the young servant, Xu Que came to a larger room. After the young servant tapped on the door twice, he signaled Xu Que to go in. Xu Que sneered in his heart and pushed the door open. It was a very spacious and luxurious room. There was a large table with all kinds of drinks and food on it. A handsome young man was sitting at the table.
Seeing Xu Que arrive, the man immediately stood up with a smile and politely introduced himself, “I’m Zhan Gaoli, thank you for doing me this favor. I’ve heard of the Ice Fairy for a while now, and seeing you today, it’s indeed extraordinary!”
Xu Que immediately pretended to be reserved and covered his mouth as he smiled. He also threw him a coquettish glance and said with a smile, “Young Master Zhan, you’re too generous with your praises!”
“Ha, ha, by the way, as far as I know, Ice Fairy is a nickname given by others. I wonder if you can tell me your real name?” Zhan Gaoli asked with a smile on his face.
Xu Que smiled shyly, nodded her head, and replied, “I’m Li Jiangang!”
