Chapter 495: Chapter 235: Bite the Socks (Seeking monthly ticket at month’s end)

Saintess Xuan’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

Chen Shi’s words concealed a trap, and a moment’s inattention could lead to a lie, and if this place were truly Tongue-pulling Hell, her tongue might really vanish into thin air!

She couldn’t confirm whether this was indeed Tongue-pulling Hell, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

However, could this really be Tongue-pulling Hell?

"You’re not talking, is your stomach hurting again?" Chen Shi asked with concern.

Saintess Xuan groaned softly, feeling another bout of cramping pain in her abdomen.

"Pain..."

She twisted in agony, curling up into a ball.

Chen Shi was likely testing the limits of her physical accomplishments this time, striking effectively to the point that she was immobilized, yet leaving her breath enough to feel the torment of being alive yet wishing for death.

Chen Shi brought the Mysterious Transformation Furnace over to her side and blew a breath onto it.

This furnace was huge even without being activated, seven feet tall and nine feet wide, and upon activation, it grew even more massive, four to five times taller and five to six times wider.

The inner walls of the furnace were extremely complex, constructed from thousands of pieces set like mirror shards tilted against the walls. Imprinted with talismans within, these mirrors, upon activation, refracted the light of the talismans from different angles, instantly amplifying their power to the extreme and branding the air, manifesting powerful talismanic weapons that flew out from the furnace!

As all the mirror shards within the blazing furnace began to spin around its center, the speed ever increasing, more and more talismanic weapons flew out, leaving the opponent unable to defend or catch them, dying a swift and decisive death!

The mirrors inside the furnace imprinting talismans showcased the exceptional treasure-refining technique of Hundred Refinement Hall, with its intricate design and ingenious conception, truly breathtaking.

But it was too big.

Chen Shi exhaled a breath of True Qi, trying to transform the Mysterious Transformation Furnace into something like a sparrow or other creature, intending to catch Baili Mu by surprise, but even after he finished exhaling, red-faced from the effort, the furnace did not take the shape he had intended.

"Bang!"

Chen Shi nearly blew himself out, but finally, the Mysterious Transformation Furnace transformed, turning into a gigantic toad seven to eight feet tall and about nine feet wide.

The giant toad hopped once, facing Saintess Xuan, and croaked: "Lonely, widowed!"

Saintess Xuan jerked with pain, but her mind remained unusually clear, sensing an ominous quality about the creature.

"Lonely, widowed!" The giant toad hopped in front of her, croaking at her.

Saintess Xuan tried to crawl away, to distance herself from this ominous toad, but her stomach was in too much pain, she couldn’t move.

"Bang!"

The giant toad burst its skin, reverting to its original state, and transformed back into the form of the Mysterious Transformation Furnace.

Chen Shi frowned, and Saintess Xuan, seeing his troubled look, felt a surge of satisfaction, feeling her pain lessen somewhat.

"Chen Shi, are you trying to set a trap for Sect Master Baili?" she said softly, "Sect Master Baili is of the Divine Descent Realm, and the gap between your realms is too great; you are far from being his match. Why struggle? If you’re willing to join the young master, I would be willing to serve as an intermediary, to resolve the conflict between you and Sect Master Baili."

She had never referred to herself as such, being a practitioner of the Buddha’s teachings, with her heart devoted to nothing beyond the Buddha, and even in the young master’s presence, she had never humbled herself so.

But Chen Shi was indeed talented, far surpassing the strong beneath the young master’s command, so she willingly lowered herself to plead with Chen Shi to surrender.

Chen Shi looked at the Mysterious Transformation Furnace, worried.

At that moment, Baili Mu’s voice could be heard calling for Chen Shi to come out and confront him, but the sound was even more distant now, suggesting he had gone in the wrong direction.

Saintess Xuan continued, "The young master treats everyone generously, no matter who they are, even those from all walks of life, including the lowliest, he treats them with utmost respect. The Banshan Sect is known for tomb robbing, which is not seen in a good light, yet the young master still treated Sect Master Baili with respect. Sect Master Baili’s Shaking Dragon Scripture was incomplete, so he gave him a complete scripture, along with the Burial Inversion Wand and the Uncertainty Dragon Scripture. If he treats Sect Master Baili with such generosity, what about you?" freёwebnoѵel.com

Chen Shi walked around the Mysterious Transformation Furnace a few times, then smiled, "Saintess Xuan, Sect Master Baili can survive by serving the young master, even receiving Cultivation Techniques in return, because Sect Master Baili is sufficiently foolish. But for an outstanding man like me to join the young master, he would not be able to tolerate me. Because I am stronger, smarter, and more formidable than the young master. If he kept me, it would be like having two suns in the sky, he fears being overshadowed by me."

Saintess Xuan stammered, "You’re... talking nonsense! The young master is not the kind of person who cannot bear others!"

Chen Shi stopped walking, with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Think carefully about the young master’s character, are you certain he wouldn’t kill me if I joined him? This is Tongue-pulling Hell, say it again!"

Saintess Xuan opened her mouth but dared not continue.

Sweat beaded on her forehead as a voice whispered in her heart: "If he joins the young master, maybe... maybe the young master really would kill him!"

At that thought, a chill ran through her.

Unintentionally, she had come to consider Chen Shi a man comparable to the young master, perhaps even stronger, which was why she believed the young master could not tolerate Chen Shi!

"How could he possibly compare to the young master?"

Saintess Xuan thought to herself, "His background, family, scholarship, reputation, and connections are all far less than the young master’s. He, he..."

Her complexion changed abruptly, "Why, in my heart, can he compare with the young master?"

Chen Shi, a tactless brat with a crude approach and a ruthless hand, compared to the gracefully unbowed and handsome young master, he was worlds apart. But what was it in Chen Shi’s behavior that moved her to think Chen Shi could stand shoulder to shoulder with the young master?

For a moment, she couldn’t understand why.

"You said that Sect Master Baili practices the Shaking Dragon Scripture, the Uncertainty Dragon Scripture, and the Burial Inversion Wand?"

Chen Shi stood beside her, lost in thought, murmured, "These three Cultivation Techniques, I’ve seen them as well. No wonder Sect Master Baili’s mana is so strong, and his Spells so powerful..."
