Chapter 159 Bed Warming Maid?
Long Ming frowned instinctively when he saw the title of the quest. As he already guessed the true identity of Jiang Wanxue, he didn't wish to bother with her life-and-death crisis.
Besides, even if the entire Holy Qilin Empire were to perish, it would only benefit the Four Seasons Valley.
However, this quest is forcing him to save her? Long Ming looked at the quest detail with a serious face. But his face turned strange when he saw the full content of the quest.
[ A beautiful lady yet an arrogant heart. Show her the path of the emperor is truly merciless]
[ Quest: Save Jiang Wanxue and make her your bed warming maid]
[ Reward: Seven Yin Lock Talisman ( peak White Silver grade]
[ Failure: Unable to have sex for 1 year]
[ Host can choose not to take this mission]
Long Ming looked at the reward and pondered. The reward and the mission were pretty lucrative. It's just that the penalty is somewhat awkward for him.
' Jiang Wanxue, the princess of Holy Qilin Empire as bed warming maid? Hmm…' Long Ming leaned on the wall as he pondered.
" Brother Long! Why are you spacing out?!"
Ming Yuexin's voice woke Long Ming from the stupor. Mu Qinglian's sword shone with an icy radiance as several icy sword sharps stabbed the rushing treants, killing them thoroughly.
However, the situation of Jiang Wanxue's team wasn't good. Not only they were fighting against the rushing treants, but they were also dealing with the assassins.
" Bastards! You think you can ambush our young lady?!"
An old man snorted as he pulled out his saber. With a sharp radiance, it turned into several arcs of red light, chopping down the treants and the assassins.
" Hmph! Old Mo, even if you are a High stage Harmonization Realm cultivator, you are nothing more than a weakling here." One of the assassins snorted as several flying knives appeared in his hands/
The moment he threw them, the daggers turned into darts of dark ray, charging toward the guards of Jiang Wanxue.
" Insolence!"
Jiang Wanxue snorted as she took out a purple orb. Violet lightning crackled around the orb as it turned into a lightning storm. The arcs of lightning deflected the flying daggers and incinerated the nearby treants.
Now, only her group of ten stood against a group of dozen black masked men.
" Since you dare to come here, I will make sure to give you a proper burial." Jiang Wanxue's tone was cold as she raised the purple orb.
" Hmph! Purple Lightning Bead? It seems like you really have a lot of good stuff." The leader of the assassins snorted. " But don't think we are greenhorns either."
" Go!"
" Kill those bastards!"
" Protect the young lady!"
Liu Ye was your usual coward. He stayed near Jiang Wanxue and tried to fight against those who looked weaker. Then, there are two young men who were proficient in sword arts. Long Ming deduced that they must be the Core Disciples of the Six Sword Pavilion.
Long Ming shook his head when he saw the fight. He felt Jiang Wanxue probably hiding some trump cards. Besides, the line up of her team wasn't bad at all. So it would be difficult for the assassins to kill her.
" Sister Mu, There is nothing to see here." Long Ming turned around, deciding to abandon the quest.
Mu Qinglian and MIng Yuexin looked at each other, understanding Long Ming's neutral stance.
However, as they were turned to leave, Long Ming's eyes narrowed as he saw another group of black masked men standing before them.
" Fellow brothers, Why block the way of unrelated people?" Long Ming spoke with a cold voice. " Let's pretend not to see each other and just focus on our own business, okay?"
The men wearing black masks were startled when Long Ming pointed them out. After all, they were pretty confident in their ability to remain concealed in darkness.
" Kekeke, Brat, It looks like you got sharp eyes, huh?"
"Since you have noticed us, there is no need to go back alive."
" Tch, look at them. There are even two beauties for us."
Long Ming rubbed his face in vexation when he heard that. Judging from their look, they were all High stage and Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators.
However, since they were assassins, Long Ming speculated that they must have higher attacking power and low defensive power.
After all, the best assassin is the one who can kill someone much more powerful than them and escape in one piece.
" Alright, I understand." Long Ming nodded with a calm face then activated his Great Mystic Mountain Physique and walked toward them.
Each of his steps created a tremor in the ground, like the shockwaves of an earthquake.
The mystical mountain surrounded him, giving him the aura of an immovable divine mountain, oppressing everyone under the mountain.
Even Jiang Wanxue and others who were fighting got distracted by the power of Long Ming's Minor Completion physique.
" Hmph! Bastard! Courting Death!"
" Kill him!"
The assassins felt a surge of fear in their hearts. Yet seeing Long Ming with a nonchalant and calm attitude, they felt he must be bluffing.
After all, a young man like him having a Minor Completion Imperial Physique at such a young age? He would have been turned into a renowned figure.
Long Ming only raised his hand as the Water qi surged inside him. He was precisely controlling the mountain like weight of his physique, else he would have shattered the ground already.
Seven assassins changed at him, wielding swords, sabers, and other short weapons. Yet, Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes only flashed with a deep azure light and he finally made a move.
" Nine Ocean Overlapping Fist! Wave Flipping Palm!"
Everyone felt a tremor throughout the ground and air as they felt a surge of water flowing through the tunnel.
Long Ming's palm turned into a gigantic wave of water, falling down like a tsunami wave. The weight of the water was increased by multiple folds thanks to Long Ming's imperial physique.
" Damn it! Attack!"
" Killing sword slash!"
" Die!"
However, Long Ming's water was like flood water clearing everything before it. The assassins got crushed like bugs as their body almost turned into meat pastes. All their attacks got nullified instantly.
But Long Ming retracted his power at the very last moment, leaving the assassins alive.
" Tch, Poor people. Only if they understood the language of my kindness." Long Ming put a pitying expression and then looked at Ming Yuexin.
" Sister Ming, please. I can't see their suffering."
" Ah… Yes…"
Ming Yuexin suddenly understood as she flicked her fingers. Sharp burning sword qi erupted, killing the assassins and turning them into ashes
Long Ming can't kill people due to his Chaotic Murder Heart. But, it didn't stop him from using the loophole and asking someone else to kill his enemies.
Long Ming turned around and looked at the two groups fighting each other. " Oh, don't mind us, we are just passing by."
" Please, continue."
" Hmph!"
Jiang Wanxue was the one who recovered first. Using this opportunity, she clenched the Purple Thunder Bead as several arms of lightning appeared around her, charging toward the assassin leader.
" Hmph! Don't think only you have a Noble grade treasure!" The assassin leader snorted as he popped a pill into his mouth. Not only him, but all the assassins did the same.
A blood color aura erupted from their bodies, making them look fierce like aggressive demonic beasts.
" Blood Boosting Forbidden Pills?" The old man standing near Jiang Wanxue spoke in surprise. " These motherfuckers! They are going too far!"
"?Unrestrained Earth Sword!" The old man's aura of Early stage Harmonization Realm erupted as he swung his sword.
The sword qi turned tangible due to his cultivation. Although the old man didn't comprehended Sword Intent, his sword qi was still powerful than an average Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
" Killing Array Formation! Defend!"
The assasins swiftly changed their position as the collective crimson qi turned into a shape of a beast, stopping the attack of that old man. Jiang Wanxue took the chance as she pulled out two talismans and shot at them.
" Infernal Flame Talisman!"
The lightning arms and the talismans bursted into a domain of raging flame covered with lightning. However, with the agility of the assassins, most of them managed to evade it.
Jiang Wanxue was about to use another of her treasures. But then, a green gas exploded beside him, covering her and her followers.
" Yu Zian! Yo-You traitor!" Liu Ye shouted in anger. The others also looked at the young man named Yu Zian who opened a box full of dark green smoke.
" Hehe! My work is done here. Now, I am leaving-"
Yu Zian gave a nefarious laughter as he took out a Minor Teleportation Charm. However, before he could teleport, Jiang Wanxue's arm was covered with a golden brilliance as it shot toward Yu Zian.
With Purple Lightning Bead's power covering her body, her hand pieced the chest of Yu Zian, crushing his heart.
Meanwhile, Long Ming was observing the situation from far, pondering if he should accept the mission or not.
' A princess serving as bed warming maid? Interesting'
[ Ding! All the Constellation approves the signature move of Great Crow of Dark Mysteries]
