Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Arrogant First, Respectful Later

Cheng Wushuang eyed Xia Mengyin, growing increasingly fond of her as he watched. He couldn’t help but reach out to grab her, "Miss, it’s strength that matters in this world, not beauty!"

Bang!

Xia Mengyin merely lifted her hand and Cheng Wushuang was hurled away, crashing through at least a dozen walls before collapsing softly to the ground, his body covered in blood.

This!

The Cheng Family members were furious upon seeing this.

So arrogant to dare lay hands on someone from their Cheng family!

"Witch, are you seeking death?"

"Seize her!"

The young men all shouted loudly, a different gleam flashing in their eyes.

They had seen beautiful women before; as a force at the level of the Supplementing Divine Temple, and even belonging to the second tier on the West Rock Continent, the Cheng family’s influence was still considerable, and they had access to women as they desired.

However, they had never seen anyone as captivating as Xia Mengyin, who could resist being moved?

But she had caught Cheng Wushuang’s eye, and as the foremost among the Cheng family’s younger generation, who would dare compete with him for a woman?

Thus, everyone could only watch from the sidelines, coveting her in their hearts.

Now?

Cheng Wushuang had been beaten to a pulp, if not dead, then crippled; how could he still compete for this beauty?

This was their chance to take Xia Mengyin down, using revenge as an excuse to indulge themselves with her.

"Stand down!" Cheng De spoke, his tone cold and even cautious.

Huh, even the old patriarch is moved?

Many of the Cheng family’s youths despised him secretly; at his age, did he even have the capability? And frankly, wasn’t it embarrassing for him, at his venerable age, to compete with the younger generation for a woman?

Cheng De, however, harbored no lustful thoughts. As soon as Xia Mengyin made her move, he recognized that her cultivation was of the Founding King Court level.

What did that imply?

Such a young Founding King Court level; was this something the East Fire Continent could nurture?

Not just the East Fire Continent, but West Rock, and North Silver Continents couldn’t manage it either!

Oh yes, there were some, but only the most talented of freaks could reach the Founding King Court level at such a young age, yet wasn’t each one of those monsters the heir to a superpower?

So while he could suppress this young woman with ease, was it possible she came alone?

They had all been deceived by the illusion before, thinking that Shi Hao knew her, hence she was from the East Fire Continent.

"Miss, from which continent do you come?" Cheng De asked politely.

Xia Mengyin then turned her gaze toward him and said indifferently, "South Wood Continent, Tianhua Sect."

South Wood Continent!

Upon hearing these four words, everyone in the Cheng family gasped.

It wasn’t that the forces from South Wood Continent were overwhelmingly powerful, but carrying such a name inherently placed one above others.

And, capable of crossing the vast ocean, how could they be a minor power?

"Tianhua Sect!" Cheng De and Cheng Guang both showed moved expressions, quickly raising their hands to salute Xia Mengyin, "It turns out to be an immortal Fairy from the Tianhua Sect, please forgive our inappropriate and disrespectful actions!"

The two knew well; even on the South Wood Continent, Tianhua Sect was an incredibly powerful force, with Heaven Connecting Road experts stationed within, truly a top-tier noble house.

Seeing both senior ancestors showing such respect, other members of the Cheng Family knew they had really kicked an iron plate this time, and each one of them fell silent like cicadas in winter.

However, some secretly felt delighted. Cheng Wushuang always took advantage of the favor from the two senior ancestors, treating others with contempt and doing as she pleased. But after this incident, Cheng Wushuang was definitely going to be disliked by the ancestors.

The opportunity had come. Whether they could rise in rank all depended on their performance from now on.

Xia Mengyin merely nodded coldly, showing no awe even when facing two strong practitioners from the Supplementing Divine Temple.

Cheng De and Cheng Guang, however, did not take it as an offense. After all, she was from the Tianhua Sect, so why not be a bit arrogant? They had the qualifications!

"Fairy, we shall take our leave first," Cheng De said. This was Tianhua Sect’s territory for the time being, and he dared not linger here.

Xia Mengyin remained indifferent, regarding the Cheng Family as if they were mere air.

As the Cheng Family left, Shi Hao, Han Liren, and others stayed behind, making the Cheng Family anxious yet daring not to speak out.

—Were they not worried about offending the Tianhua Sect even more severely?

Shi Hao and his group checked into an inn. As soon as they entered, a round-faced girl approached them, saying, "Senior Sister Xia, who are they?"

Although she referred to "them," her gaze was fixed on Shi Hao’s face, clearly having an ulterior motive.

"Friends," Xia Mengyin said flatly, then arranged rooms for Shi Hao and the others.

The round-faced girl watched in fascination. This was the Holy Maiden of their Tianhua Sect, getting involved in such menial affairs—was this still the Xia Mengyin she knew?

...

"Wow, you really do make friends easily. Everywhere you go, you have admirers!" Su Manman commented sourly after everything was settled.

Why did this guy always know someone from the opposite sex wherever he went, and moreover, they were always women more beautiful than average!

Although she was confident her true appearance could outshine Xia Mengyin, she had to admit, this outwardly cold woman indeed had a certain allure, especially for a young man like Shi Hao who was just awakening to romantic feelings—the temptation was even greater.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Jealous?"

"Who, who’s jealous of you!" Su Manman immediately put on a proud face.

Shi Hao smiled without speaking, making Su Manman blush even more.

"Despicable couple!" a big yellow dog shook its head, obviously disapproving.

The Dark Patterned Leopard looked at it sympathetically. Sure enough, just as the big yellow dog finished speaking, it was assaulted by Shi Hao and Su Manman, issuing continuous cries of pain.

Alas, having been beaten so many times, why couldn’t it keep its mouth shut?

"Yi Ya Ya!" Yun Yan found it amusing, transforming into the image of the big yellow dog which added to the dog’s depression. Now, even a ball of flame dared to mock it.

With this disturbance, Su Manman no longer dwelled on her jealousy, and Xia Mengyin did not come by again, preventing a fight from breaking out immediately.

Unknowingly, two days passed.

A light curtain appeared in the sky, cascading down like a waterfall into the city, forming a doorway.

This made everyone marvel, as they had never seen such a miraculous sight before.

The Purple Green Secret Realm was opened!

Suddenly, people from every corner of the city appeared, but they did not enter right away; instead, they observed from afar.

Through the light curtain, people could see that behind it was not a city, but several bridges made of light pillars. Counting them, there were at least several hundred, impossible to tally in a short time.

"Indeed, the paths of the Lesser Three Thousand Worlds!" a black-clothed elder spoke as he stepped into the sky, hands behind his back, exuding endless domination.

Great Sacrificial Heaven!

No, at least as powerful as the Great Sacrificial Heaven.
