Chapter 957: 939 face-slapping moment_1
Dugu Zixi, upon hearing Chu Qin's address to her, paused momentarily and then responded, "Yes, Saint Sovereign!"
"Hold on, wait a moment," Chu Qin said to Dugu Zixi, looking towards her, "Zixi, I've told you I prefer to keep a low profile. Since I call you Zixi, you should call me Chu Qin. That way, it feels more intimate, as if we are fellow sect members!"
Chu Qin, in fact, wanted to keep a low profile to avoid drawing excessive attention in Xi Yu. Arbitrarily gaining the title of a Saint Sovereign could invite hidden attacks!
Although Chu Qin was not afraid of ambushes, he preferred to avoid unnecessary troubles whenever possible!
"Well, okay, Chu Qin," Dugu Zixi nodded and agreed.
Subsequently, Dugu Zixi and Chu Qin walked shoulder to shoulder into a massive black warship.
This warship was constructed entirely from the Black Gold Energy Cores unique to the Infinite Heavens.
The warship was several kilometers long, standing at about five hundred meters high, weighing no less than ten million tons!
Ten million tons of Black Gold Energy Cores might be insignificant to Chu Qin, but to the entirety of Xi Yu, it already symbolized a distinguished status!
Under the guidance of Dugu Zixi, they passed through many gates guarded by Black Armored Knights, eventually arriving at the uppermost level of the warship, an open-air deck.
At this moment, the deck was already filled with various figures.
The vacant King's Throne at the head was unoccupied. An elder stood beside the throne—none other than Zhuge Zhengshan, a Third Heaven of Divine Venerate strengthener that Chu Qin had met earlier.
Next to the King's Throne, there was a barbecue grill where a person, dressed like a chef, was rotating a soul beast on the grill while slicing off the thoroughly cooked meat with a small knife.
Chu Qin's gaze quickly settled on this chef because Chu Qin could sense that the chef's Divine Power was extraordinary, undoubtedly it had to be Zhuge Lingtian.
Feeling Chu Qin's Divine Sense probing, Zhuge Lingtian also seemed to sense something, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, since Chu Qin already knew of his unusualness, he withdrew his Divine Sense.
"Yo, isn't this the great beauty Dugu herself?" At this moment, a burly man with his upper body exposed, who was gulping down wine, called out boisterously to Dugu Zixi, "Your behind, it seems to have gotten rounder!"
Dugu Zixi's brows clearly furrowed.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin's expression immediately turned angry. He glanced at the burly man, as if committing him to memory.
"Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable, with the Saint Lord present, how can you be so reckless?" The speaker was a man who looked somewhat sleazy but was dressed in grand attire.
"Earth Dragon Godly Venerable, the Saint Lord has already said that today's gathering is just a friendly meeting where we can speak freely. I admit I'm lustful, but your own harem probably boasts three thousand by now. Aren't you also salivating over the leader of Dugu? Why aren't you admitting it now, in front of all these friends?" Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable laughed loudly.
"I hadn't finished speaking yet," Earth Dragon Godly Venerable said with a smile, "Great beauty Dugu is not only blessed with a rounder behind, but her chest has gotten bigger too, right?"
"Oh, right, right, right!" Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable laughed out loud.
"Barbarian Bull, Earth Dragon, keep your mouths clean!" Dugu Zixi couldn't help but shout in anger.
Chu Qin revealed a cold and malicious smile.
It seemed that tonight, there would be amusement!
"Indeed, Barbarian Bull, Earth Dragon!" Tianbo Dong of the Crimson Blood Universe spoke up, "Leader Dugu's figure is there for all to see, no need for your comments. Dugu Zixi, did you know you're late? We, as well as the Saint Lord, have been waiting quite patiently."
Clearly, Tianbo Dong was challenging the relationship between Dugu Zixi and the Lingtian Saint Lord.
"What's the big deal!" said the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable, "Tianbo Dong, Leader Dugu is a great beauty, and beauties always have special privileges. Someone as inclusive as the Saint Lord surely won't mind such a trivial matter. No worries, great beauty Dugu, you can just have a deeply personal conversation with the Saint Lord someday!!"
Anger was boiling inside Chu Qin!
However, no sooner had Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable finished speaking, a small knife flew directly towards him, breaking through the true body of the Godly Venerable and leaving a blood mark on his face.
Everyone was startled!
The one who made the move was none other than the Lingtian Saint Lord, who was cutting meat!
The Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable instantly sobered up, immediately rising from his seat and, with fearful obeisance, knelt towards the Lingtian Saint Lord, "This subordinate deserves death, I beg the Saint Lord for redemption!"
The Lingtian Saint Lord finally turned around; he possessed a typical square face adorned with thickset features that made him look quite ferocious, but his eyes were crafty, as if they could see through his cunningly devised stratagems!
"Barbarian Bull, your audacity seems to be growing, to dare jest about me," the Lingtian Saint Lord said to the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable in a quiet voice that seemed somewhat hoarse.
"Saint Lord, forgive me, this subordinate will dare no more, never again!" the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable immediately responded.
"You owe an apology, not only to me but also to Sect Leader Dugu," the Lingtian Saint Lord said quietly.
At those words, Barbarian Bull, Land Dragon, and Tianbo Dong were all taken aback.
Why would the Lingtian Saint Lord speak such words?
Zhuge Lingtian had always been unimaginably proud, contemptuous of everyone, so why would he care about the feelings of Dugu Zi Xi?
Chu Qin looked towards Zhuge Lingtian with a very indifferent gaze, the first impression this old fellow gave Chu Qin was that of a sly and scheming character!
"Saint Lord..." the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable, somewhat unwilling, began. He could kowtow to Zhuge Lingtian, with nine bows and three prostrations, because Zhuge Lingtian was the acknowledged overlord of the Xi Yu.
But Dugu Zi Xi was merely a local regional lord, and Shuiyue Gate's power didn't even compare to his Barbarian Bull God Sect, so bowing to Dugu Zi Xi would leave him no face for the future!
"How's that, Barbarian Bull, you refuse to apologize? Are you waiting for Shuiyue Gate's Saint Lord to crush your bull head and flatten your Barbarian Bull God Sect before you're willing to apologize?" the Lingtian Saint Lord said with an unfathomable look.
"What?"
"Shuiyue Gate? Saint Lord!"
At that moment, all the major power leaders present were shocked.
The Lingtian Saint Lord must be out of his mind, right?
Where does Shuiyue Gate get a Saint Lord?
"What do you say, Saintly Fellow?" asked the Lingtian Saint Lord, now turning to Chu Qin with a slight smile.
The audience was utterly stunned!
This unfamiliar young man, Dugu Zi Xi, turned out to be a formidable Saint Lord who shook heaven and earth!
Although they didn't want to believe it, but the Lingtian Saint Lord was not one to joke!
Shuiyue Gate, has truly produced a Saint Lord!
"Lingtian Fellow speaks the truth," said Chu Qin calmly.
Now that the secret could not be kept any longer, there was no need for Chu Qin to continue the pretense.
"I indeed have a great desire to crush the head of this Barbarian Bull and to rip the bones of this Land Dragon!" Chu Qin said quietly with a hint of mercilessness.
Hearing these words, both the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable and the Land Dragon Godly Venerable displayed expressions of sheer terror.
And none was more afraid than Tianbo Dong!
His Shuiyue Gate was the mortal enemy of the Water Gate!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize. Otherwise, I won't save you!" the Lingtian Saint Lord said with an icy tone.
The Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable immediately knelt and turned around, while the Land Dragon Godly Venerable quickly knelt down before Chu Qin, "Saint Lord, we have uttered disrespectful words, please spare our lives, Saint Lord!"
"Sect Leader, how do you think we should deal with this?" Chu Qin asked with a faint smile, turning to Dugu Zi Xi standing beside him.
Dugu Zi Xi was also a bit stunned; she couldn't react for a moment but quickly said, "Let it go, Saint Sovereign Chu Qin. The Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable and Land Dragon Godly Venerable were simply casually jesting."
