Chapter 1258: Xin Yu’s Hesitation
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
“Ba Xiao, can he really make the Celestial Devil Lodge hand you over?” Qin Wentian felt the warmth of her body leaning against him as he asked in a gentle tone of voice.
“Mhm, we are all lowly beings in the lodge’s eyes.” Xin Yu’s smile was extremely moving, capable of causing one’s heart to break.
“However if Ba Xiao really wants to do so, he will have to pay a very heavy price. And if I die, he would surely feel pain in his heart. To him, the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses. Maybe he is only casually making a threat.
“If you are willing to, what price must I pay before I can bring you away?” Qin Wentian asked.
Xin Yu stared at Qin Wentian with her beautiful eyes as a bright smile appeared on her face. “Sir Qin, are you teasing me?”
“Do I look like I’m teasing you?” Qin Wentian asked.
“If Sir Qin is willing to take me as a concubine, I may consider Sir Qin’s offer. But Sir Qin has already made things clear earlier, what do you expect Xin Yu to do.”
“Answer my question first.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“Those who come to the Celestial Devil Lodge naturally know of its rule. Sir Qin is brought here by Sir Ye, and you might not know of this. If the two parties are in love with each other, they can enter the rear and enjoy the pleasures of flesh. After that, the lodge would list out a request to the man. This request might be for some treasures on his body, or a he needs to accomplish something, or owe the lodge a favor, etc. In addition, he must have the capabilities to accomplish that.”
Xin Yu laughed, “But if the man is able to do it but is unwilling to, he shouldn’t think about these things.”
“No wonder the entry criteria is so strict, only allowing those on the Devil and Devil King Rankings. The lodge must have already investigated all their customers fully, knowing what they are capable of doing.” Qin Wentian nodded. “However, the lodge knows nothing about me.”
“Sir Ye said that he is your guarantor.” Xin Yu smiled. Qin Wentian froze for a moment, this Ye Zimo really put in a lot of effort, This means that if Xin Yu fell for him, he and her could enjoy the pleasures of the flesh but the price would be paid by Ye Zimo.
This Ye Zimo could be considered to have really spared no expenses just to be acquainted with him.
“In that case are you willing to leave with me?” Qin Wentian asked Xin Yu.
“Sir Qin…” Xin Yu’s beautiful eyes were filled with perplexity.
“I won’t marry you, but there’s no need for you to give yourself to me either. If you feel that you owe me, you can follow me and be a my maid for a few years. How about that?” Qin Wentian smiled.
Xin Yu didn’t expect that Qin Wentian would say such a thing. There never has been someone like Qin Wentian who made such a strange request to her. After all, everyone came to the Celestial Devil Lodge for either beauties or to gain the benefits of the Mercury Lady Art from them. However, Qin Wentian didn’t want that.
A few years to immortal and devil cultivators, was in truth, a very short amount of time. She didn’t understand the purpose behind his actions.
“Sir Qin, can you allow Xin Yu consider it?” Xin Yu stared at Qin Wentian as she spoke.
“This is the first time we meet, I understand that it’s not easy to have true trust, especially so under such circumstances. Also for you Xin Yu, you have two precious things which men would definitely want – your beauty and your cultivation.” Qin Wentian smiled and shook his head, placing down his cup.
“Sir, Xin Yu didn’t mean it that way.” Xin Yu spoke gently. However, she knew that she was just saying for the sake of saying that. How could she fool Qin Wentian.
Naturally, Qin Wentian didn’t mind as well. He understood that it was very tough for someone in her position to trust a man she just met.
“Don’t worry about it.” Qin Wentian laughed, quietly enjoying the beauty of the dance. Although the temptation was huge, his endurance was strong enough and he wouldn’t be moved so easily.
Xin Yu also fell silent, quietly adding tea for Qin Wentian.
The dance gradually stopped as the mist dissipated. The people in the pavillions still remained, as though they were completely immersed in that earlier experience. However, no one was still able to move the heart of a lady from the lodge. It wouldn’t be so easy to obtain the heart of one of them unless you were one of those true peak supreme elites that could shake the entire devil island with your talent.
“Brother Qin, how do you feel? Is lady Xin Yu good?” Ye Zimo glanced towards the pavilion Qin Wentian was in, only to see him having his arm around Xin Yu’s waist, as though in a state of enjoyment.
“Lady Xin Yu is an excellent companion.” Qin Wentian smiled.
“Do you want to stay a little while more to enjoy the music?” Ye Zimo laughed.
“Brother Ye, there are still people waiting for their turns outside. Let’s leave now.” Qin Wentian smiled and shook his head. Ye Zimo also frowned when he thought back to Ba Xiao. After that he nodded in agreement, “Alright.”
As he spoke, Ye Zimo stood up. Qi Da naturally also stood up. The others all had expressions of interest on their faces when they saw this. They then spoke to the ladies accompanying them, “We will come and visit you girls again in the future.”
Evidently, they knew that there would soon be a drama to watch outside the Celestial Devil Lodge and clearly, they were extremely interested in it.
“Lady Xin Yu, farewell.” Qin Wentian nodded to Xin Yu after which, his silhouette flashed as he moved towards the exit. Xin Yu had a strange expression on her face when she saw Qin Wentian walking away. Her silhouette flashed and she spoke, “Sir Qin, please allow Xin Yu to send you off.”
“Hahaha, being able to make lady Xin Yu personally send you off, Brother Qin has already won a victory over Ba Xiao. Truly, Brother Qin is an extraordinary individual.” Ye Zimo glanced at Xin Yu as he laughed.
Qin Wentian didn’t say anything much. Xin Yu gently leaned against him and walked together with him to the exit. And as expected, in the air space outside of the lodge, Ba Xiao was waiting there.
“Sir Qin.” Xin Yu called out. Qin Wentian turned his head over and smiled, “Lady Xin Yu?”
“Sir Qin, would you come by here again?” Xin Yu asked in a gentle tone. For the conversation they had earlier, she faintly sensed that she just lost something. She truly had no way to see through Qin Wentian. Even Ye Zimo was so polite towards him, who was he exactly?
“Maybe, maybe not. It depends.” Qin Wentian nodded to Xin Yu as he turned and continued walking out. Many people in the lodge cast a deep glance at Xin Yu when they heard that, even for the other ladies of the lodge.
“Just interacting once and your heart stirred? Who is this man?” The lady who accompanied Qi Da earlier asked.
“I’m not sure.” Xin Yu shook her head lightly.
“I also can’t see through Sir Qi. However, it seems that he is very respectful of your Sir Qin.” That lady laughed, staring ahead. Qi Da was always behind Qin Wentian, he seemed to be just a mere subordinate.
An uncomfortable feeling begin to surface in her heart. Those she waited on and accompanied, were all geniuses on the Devil Rankings. A subordinate usually wouldn’t even be able to enter the Celestial Devil Lodge.
“It seems so indeed.” Xin Yu agreed.
“I don’t understand. Xin Yu, you didn’t have such an attitude when you were with Ba Xiao those few times before. To think that you actually took the initiative to ask if he would come back. You should very well know of Ba Xiao’s status and background on the island.” The lady beside her spoke in a low voice.
Xin Yu’s beautiful eyes flashed. Some things, were unable to be explained clearly. Even she herself had no idea why this was so.
It was just that when she interacted with Qin Wentian earlier, she could sense that he was really an extremely special type of person.
As to why she asked him that, could it be that she didn’t know how to answer him today and wanted him to come back here again before she told him of her decision?
Qin Wentian and Ye Zimo already came in contact with Ba Xiao. At this moment, Ba Xiao slowly turned over, his gaze landing on Qin Wentian as he smiled coldly, “I thought you would hide in there forever. Seems like you already understand that fleeing is useless.”
“Fleeing?” Qin Wentian smiled and shook his head.
“Earlier, you compared me to a wild beast. In that case, you can act like one and crawl underneath my crotch. If you do that, maybe I will not kill you.” Ba Xiao spoke in a domineering voice.
“Ba Xiao, you are too insolent.” Ye Zimo coldly spoke.
“BOOM!” At the same time, a loud noise rang out. Qi Da already walked out, causing the ground to shake. A mighty battle aura gushed forth from him as he appeared before Ba Xiao, punching out with a fist that desired to shatter the heavens.
“RUMBLE!” A violent devilish might exuded from Ba Xiao, like the tyrant of a generation. He lifted his fist and clashed head-on with Qi Da. At the instant their fists met, a terrifying astral wind rose up, shaking the heavens and earth as cracks appeared on the ground all around them.
Qi Da roared, blasting out with both palms that contained enough force to shatter mountains and overturn seas.
Ba Xiao frowned, the attack of this man was actually so violent. The devil might from him congregated into a windstorm and gusted forth.
“BATTLE!” The blood and bones within Qi Da’s body began to radiate a boundless battle saint might. In addition, the light which erupted forth from Qi Da, was actually devil light, not immortal light.
Evidently, Qi Da has also cultivated the Immortal Devil Transformation Art. Since the Blackstone Devil King passed on the art to Qin Wentian, he naturally could allow Qi Da to cultivate it. This art might be valuable but it has no use to the Blackstone Devil King and couldn’t be considered any secret art. No matter who cultivates it, it wouldn’t affect the Blackstone Devil King.
In an instant, rumbling sounds filled the air as cracks frenziedly appeared on the surface of the ground, causing clouds of dust to form. Although the two of them had not yet unleashed the law energy they comprehended, in their current states they were sufficient to cause the hearts of those spectating to tremble.
As for the lady from the lodge which accompanied Qi Da earlier, her gaze froze there as she stared unblinkingly at the battle.
Xin Yu’s beautiful eyes were also widened with surprise. She only saw Qin Wentian quietly standing there, while both Ba Xiao and Qi Da mutually retreated, floating in the air.
Qi Da then spoke, “Trying to insult my Saint Lord? Are you even worthy? Scram now.”
A violent devilish might gushed forth from Ba Xiao as law energy circulated around him, causing his aura to grow even more tyrannical.
“Ba Xiao, I’ve already said it earlier, both Brother Qin and Brother Qi are more outstanding than me. If you wish to fight, you naturally would have a chance to do so at the celebration of the devil emperor. There’s no need for you to act so imposingly here, you better wise up.” Ye Zimo calmly spoke. Many people silently mused that it seems like Ye Zimo’s earlier words weren’t false. But how strong were these two exactly?
Qi Da was already so terrifying, and he addressed Qin Wentian as his lord?
“Who is he??” The lady who accompanied Qi Da, asked Xin Yu again.
“No idea.” Xin Yu shook her head. She could feel that Qin Wentian was different compared to many others, but as to what was different about him, she had no idea. She also didn’t know what sort of person he was exactly.
