Region Mistress Qing Yu never had an interest in a man, and it had been made known in the Black Carp City. There were even rumors that she had an interest in women… that she was a lesbian.
She had been nurtured as a successor for the Qing Clan from a young age. She had already reached the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm when she was 18 years old and started to comprehend dao patterns. A pity that the current Clan Head of the Qing Clan went for a trip out to the sea and returned with grievous injuries. The Qing Clan didn’t have any other outstanding successors. They had to make her refine the soul spirit dao pattern shard to allow her to increase her strength quickly.
Qing Yu had secluded for a year, and after refining three of the dao pattern shards, her strength reached the peak stage of the Vajra Realm. When she came out of seclusion, the previous clan head didn’t have any more worries and passed away. She inherited the Clan Head position of the Qing Clan and named this city the Black Carp City 1 . They originally wanted Region Mistress Qing Yu to take a husband, but she had rejected all of them. At the same time, no one ever heard that Region Mistress Qing Yu had taken a liking for any males.
The Qing clansmen were all very worried. They had brought back many handsome youths for her, but she had refused all of them. Right now, when they saw that she was bringing Jiang Yi into the loft, the members of the Qing Clan were all instantly excited.
Jiang Yi might be a foreigner, but it wasn’t important as long as he could breed, right?
Jiang Yi was brought into the loft by that Vajra Realm expert. The outside might look like a loft, the interior was just like Tao Fei’s palace chamber which was extremely luxurious and just like a chamber that belonged to a ruler.
Region Mistress Qing Yu sat by herself on the purple-gold throne, and her original lovely aura had changed. It was now a noble and imposing aura which was like a queen of a kingdom.
The chamber was laid with snow-white carpet, and the snow-white walls were decorated with luminous pearls that size of longan fruits. There were many other exquisite decorations, and the corner of the chamber was giving off a mild smell of incense. The sky outside was dusky, which beautifully complemented this gorgeous woman. Anyone here would be easily bewitched.
“You may be dismissed!”
With a wave of her hand, Region Mistress Qing Yu dismissed the Vajra Realm expert while she shot out an essence force into the walls of the chamber. The entire chamber lit up with a glow as the restriction was activated. She then looked at Jiang Yi and spoke in a cold voice, “Foreigner. What is your name, and why are you here? What purpose do you have on the Phoenix Cry Continent? This Region Mistress advises you to speak the truth. If you dare to speak a single word of lies, I will certainly make you die without burial grounds.”
Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, “My name is Lone Wolf. I am just passing by this Phoenix Cry Continent. I do not have any purpose, and I am simply passing through.”
“Passing through? Who are you trying to cheat?”
Region Mistress Qing Yu sneered while her aura presence soared again. She then spoke in a stern voice, “The nine star spheres in your dantian might be strange, but there isn’t any circulation of essence force. You are also hiding an extremely powerful aura presence, but you cannot hide it from this Region Mistress’ eyes. Your overall strength should already be at the Vajra Realm, right? Why didn’t you resist earlier? Why did you hold Tao Fei hostage and come to Black Carp City? What motive do you have for sneaking into our Phoenix Cry Continent? Say it!”
He had been exposed!
Jiang Yi wasn’t too surprised as it would really be strange if this Region Mistress Qing Yu couldn’t detect his nine star spheres. Seeing that she didn’t pay any mind to it, it meant that this Region Mistress was looking down on his strength. She thought that she could easily crush him; she could have killed him earlier but didn’t do anything, allowing him to stand in this place.
The more his enemy belittled him, the more Jiang Yi felt reassured. He behaved even more unruly and casually bowed with cupped hands. “Region Mistress, Lone Wolf is truly just passing by. I hope that Region Mistress can provide me a map to head for East Imperial Continent, and I will leave immediately. I will definitely repay my thanks in the future. If absolutely necessary, I can use treasures to exchange it with you.”
“Treasures?”
Region Mistress Qing Yu scoffed and said, “You are just a puny first-stage Vajra Realm martial artist. What kind of treasure could you have? Bring it out for this Region Mistress to see if it can satisfy me. I can consider giving you a map for you to go to the East Imperial Continent.”
“En?”
When Jiang Yi saw that the Region Mistress’ tone had eased, he was tempted. He wouldn’t want to make a move if he could exchange the map with his assets.
After all the louder the commotion, the more disadvantageous it was for him. Tao Fei might not have mentioned the Martial Arts Hall, but Jiang Yi knew that the Martial Arts Hall had silently occupied this continent, just like the Stellarsky Continent. If he was to make a move here, he would have to bear the risk of having the double pursuit of the Heaven Monarch in Phoenix Cry Continent and the Martial Arts Hall.
He muttered and took out a longsword from his belongings. He smiled and asked, “What about this weapon?”
Region Mistress Qing Yu smiled with disdain and said, “You want to use a mere saint artifact to buy me out? You might have underestimated my Qing Clan.”
“Then…”
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and said, “I will add on five more demon kings’ corpses. How about it?”
“Five demon kings’ corpses?”
It seemed as though Region Mistress Qing Yu was tempted. She went quiet and seemed to be considering, which made Jiang Yi was delighted. If this Region Mistress Qing Yu still wasn’t satisfied, he could offer all the demon kings’ corpses in the Thearch Palace to her.
Without the map, he would be like a headless fly, spinning around randomly. Perhaps, he might not even be able to find the East Imperial Continent in this lifetime. Su Ruoxue was still in the hands of Ji Tingyu, and every extra day would make Jiang Yi’s heart even more uncomfortable.
Time ticked by, and Region Mistress Qing Yu was still pondering. Jiang Yi was a little frustrated, and just as he wanted to say something, Region Mistress Qing Yu suddenly spoke, “You are giving too little treasures. Add on more. You know that you are a spy, and if the Thearch found out I was dealing with a spy, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
When Jiang Yi saw that this Region Mistress Qing Yu was serious, he felt relief in his heart. He spoke with a little agony on his face, “I will add on three more demon kings’ corpses. I do not have anything else!”
“Like this…”
Region Mistress Qing Yu lowered her head to consider again. Jiang Yi was frustrated by he didn’t want to fall out, and so he had to wait. As a result, he waited for 15 minutes; and now he finally felt that something was weird. Why did the Region Mistress have to consider so long for such a trivial matter?
“Ke-Ke!”
Right at this moment, Region Mistress Qing Yu suddenly stood up and let out a brilliant smile. She spoke softly, “Deal, but the treasures you offered aren’t enough. You better… hand over everything to me.”
“Uh? Not right! I have been tricked…”
Jiang Yi got a shock, and when he saw that Region Mistress Qing Yu looked at him with eyes of a cat playing a mouse, his soul spirit shook. He instantly snapped out of it.
He had been tricked!
This Region Mistress Qing Yu didn’t have any intention to trade the map with him. Everyone was just a pretense, and it went without saying that she was stalling for time.
“Die!”
His eyes suddenly turned blood red, and he was about to release the Massacre Intent. He was going to start a slaughter and quickly escape.
Right at this moment, he felt everything turned black as he collapsed on the ground. His mind had this deep fatigue and lack of strength. Just before he fainted, he sighed in his heart. The purple-haired young lady had asked him to stay a low-profile, but as soon as he arrived at the Phoenix Cry Continent, he had already forgotten her reminder.
He was too obsessed with his own strength and overconfidence!
He originally thought that this Region Mistress Qing Yu would take a fancy to him like every other woman on this continent and would wish she could quickly play with him. He was too confident of his strength and thought he could easily suppress this Region Mistress Qing Yu. He was carelessly led in and didn’t expect for this Region Mistress Qing Yu to have plotted since the start.
There was something wrong about this incense, which caused him to be tricked. His Fire Spirit Pearl which had a soul spirit defense had lost its effectiveness. It was obvious that this incense was abnormally incredible.
“Huff! Fortunately, I have this Soul-Fixing Incense!”
After Jiang Yi fell unconscious, Region Mistress Qing Yu let out a breath as though a burden had been lifted. She then wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
She had indeed plotted against Jiang Yi from the start. Earlier when she wanted to slam Jiang Yi with her palm. It wasn’t because she couldn’t bear to kill Jiang Yi; it was because her heart surged with a fatal sense of danger. She knew that if she truly attacked, she was definitely going to die. Therefore, she lured Jiang Yi in and successfully tricked him with the Soul-Fixing Incense.
She stared blankly at the unconscious Jiang Yi and burst out with a yell, “Someone! Take the Soul-Locking Chains and lock up this spy. Then go transmitted a message to the Thearch and tell everything about this spy to her. Request for her to make a decision.”
