Of the three personal apprentices of the Seventh Peak's Peak Lord, the third was the most outspoken, tactful, and had a wide circle of friends.
However, in terms of her fiery temper and the fear of her fellow disciples, she was second to none. It wasn't just the disciples of the Seventh Peak who felt that way; the other peaks felt the same way as well.
Most of them knew that the Second Highness of the seventh summit had an extremely explosive temper. Her monstrous strength was even more ridiculous. She would attack at the slightest disagreement. Besides … over the years, she had beaten up far too many Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the various summits.
Her strength was shocking, and she had a monstrous background. Therefore, in front of Second Highness, no one could reason with her. Her domineering nature was just as famous as her reputation.
Even some of the Elders would have a headache if they ran into her, much less the ordinary disciples.
That was especially true of her reputation. Not only did it spread throughout the sect, it spread out on the seas. Countless pirates had died at her hands, and some of the smaller clans would tremble when they heard her name.
As she stood there, her aura was shocking, and it suppressed everything in the area. Everyone felt immense pressure, including Xu Qing. An intense sense of danger rose up in his heart, as if he were facing a peerless beast in the jungle of the Forbidden Zone.
The feeling he got from her was even stronger than the feeling he got from Honor Guard Li.
Compared to her, the Vajra Sect's Patriarch paled in comparison.
Xu Qing's vigilance reached its peak, and he instinctively took a few steps backward, his breathing ragged.
The savagery emanating from Second Senior Sister was simply too strong, and terrifying to the extreme.
Looking through the gaps in the crowd, he saw that the street outside was completely empty …. It was as if no one wanted to appear in the vicinity at a time like this.
The only exception … was Fatty Huang Yan. He didn't seem to feel any pressure at all. It was as if his scheme had succeeded, and his face was filled with excitement.
He scampered over to Second Senior Sister's side and said with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Senior Apprentice Sister ~ ~ It's the shopkeeper and that stinky fish who said that the thing I gave you was stolen from the Vajra Sect. Senior Apprentice Sister, I, Huang Yan, am an upright and honest man. I'm honest, loyal, gentle, and considerate. I'll only love Senior Apprentice Sister in my entire life. I can tolerate them slandering me, but they can't slander the gift I gave you!"
"Slandering the gift I gave you is slandering the feelings I've had for you for eight years!"
Little Fatty stood beside Second Senior Sister, looking a little out of place. Regardless of height or size, they were like a child and an adult.
Fortunately, his belly was very big, and from a certain perspective, it was not completely incompatible.
However, his words caused everyone in the shop to stare in shock. One by one, they gasped, and their faces filled with incomparable astonishment.
The disciples from the various peaks who had come to watch the spectacle stared with wide eyes. Looks of disbelief could be seen on their faces. There were even some who couldn't believe what they were seeing. Zhang San was one of them.
As for the shopkeeper of the store, his expression was completely blank as he muttered to himself.
"The second prince … is your senior sister?"
These words were a bit awkward, but it also revealed the innermost feelings of the shopkeeper, as if countless horses were galloping past him.
Everyone in the area knew of Huang Yan. After all, he was quite famous in the seventh summit. However, most of his fame came from his "infatuation".
Everyone had privately discussed matters regarding Huang Yan. They knew that he had pursued a certain Senior Sister for eight years, and that the gifts he had given her were enough to buy several stores ….
In the past, when they talked about this matter, most people could guess that Huang Yan was not ordinary, which was why he had been able to preserve his wealth. However, most of the words spoken were filled with mockery. After all, they believed that a good man would not stoop so low to curry favor with a woman.
However, at that moment, regardless of whether it was Zhang San, the shopkeeper, or the other disciples in the area, all of them were looking at Little Fatty with gazes filled with respect that had never been seen before in their shock. There were even some people who could not help but reveal great envy in their eyes.
Obviously … if it were a Senior Sister like this, then they would want her as well.
Forget eight years. Eighteen years. Even twenty-eight years would do.
Xu Qing's heart was also pounding madly. He looked at Little Fatty Huang Yan, and then at Second Prince. His eyes were a bit absent-minded. He had never imagined that the person Little Fatty had pursued for eight years would be the second prince of the seventh summit.
Xu Qing also had an answer as to why Little Fatty had forcefully taken matters into his own hands today. He had deliberately blown up the matter to attract Little Fatty's Senior Sister so that he could relieve the pain of lovesickness.
Xu Qing looked at Little Fatty, who was extremely pleased with himself, and then looked at the astonishingly domineering Second Prince. He fell silent.
At that moment, in the face of Huang Yan's grievance, Second Prince raised his eyebrows slightly and walked forward. When he passed by the young merman who had his head lowered, he didn't say anything. However, a hint of contempt appeared in his eyes.
Huang Yan, who was beside him, also imitated Second Prince's disdain. He lifted his chin and snorted.
The Second Prince's gaze greatly agitated the young merman. His body trembled as if he was trying his best to restrain himself. However, the paleness of his face still revealed the fear in his heart.
Instinctively, the scene of the massacre thirty years ago on Merfolk Island appeared in his mind. The Second Prince's figure had been filled with bloodlust during that massacre.
That was a grand competition between the seven blood pupils of the seventh summit. Due to the evil of the human race and the unyielding will of the great merman race, the battlefield of the seventh summit's grand competition was arranged in the merman race's territory.
At the same time, it was also a form of suppression. It was also after that that the two sides became "allies" once again.
Although the merman race had been in danger of being exterminated several times, it was the seven blood pupils who resolved it in time and gave them a lot of resources. However, in the eyes of the merman race, this was what the other party deserved. They felt that becoming allies with the human race was a disgrace in itself.
Although countless emotions were churning in his heart, he still lowered his head deeply and didn't dare to raise it. He only roared in his heart. He felt that the merman race would make the seven blood pupils pay the price sooner or later.
Seeing the other party lower his head, the contempt in Second Prince's eyes increased. She walked in front of Xu Qing and looked at him coldly.
Xu Qing took a deep breath. With a solemn expression, he clasped his hands and bowed.
"Greetings, Second Prince."
"Senior Sister, this is Xu Qing, my brother. This time, he was implicated by me." Huang Yan put away the item he had just taken out. When he introduced Xu Qing, there was a hint of pride on his face.
Second Prince nodded. He ignored Xu Qing and walked to the counter. When he reached there, he raised the large sword in his hand. With a bang, he placed it on the counter while the shopkeeper trembled.
This black sword was too heavy. Even though the wooden counter was quite tough, when the sword landed, it still collapsed with a crack. The tip of the sword was directly in front of the shopkeeper's stomach. The cold light from the sword caused cold sweat to flow down the shopkeeper's forehead. His face was extremely pale, and he trembled as he spoke in a soft and trembling voice, "What are you doing?
"Second Prince, I …"
"You said my things are stolen goods?" Second Prince said indifferently.
The shopkeeper's back was soaked with sweat. His face was bitter and he wailed in his heart. He originally wanted to make a profit from today's matter, but the little fatty came out of nowhere. Not even in his dreams would he have thought that the little fatty was actually such a powerful person behind the little fatty.
He couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him. In fact, he felt that even the deacon who arranged for him to do this wouldn't be willing to offend the second prince, let alone himself.
After all, she was the eldest princess of the seventh peak who was doted on by the seventh master. She was like a pearl in his palm.
Hence, he stammered and hurriedly spoke.
"Mis … Misunderstanding. This is a misunderstanding. I saw wrong. How could these be stolen goods …"
Xu Qing's eyes shone with a profound light when he saw this scene. He understood that strength was an eternal principle in this world. Especially after the second prince's next words, he understood what it meant to be domineering.
"You didn't see wrong. These are indeed stolen goods. I was the one who moved the King Kong Sect. Do you have a problem with that?"
Second Senior Sister said coldly. She thrust the sword in her hand forward, instantly piercing the shopkeeper's clothes and touching his stomach.
The shopkeeper trembled and sweat poured down his forehead. He looked like a yes-man and didn't know how to respond.
"Tell the person behind you that I was the one who did the King Kong Sect thing.
Also, tell the King Kong Sect to come and apologize to me within three days. The gift must satisfy me. "
Second Senior Sister's words clearly didn't sound threatening, but after hearing it, everyone deeply understood that if the King Kong Sect didn't come and apologize, or if the value of the gift wasn't enough, then … the King Kong Sect would cease to exist in this world.
This sentence clearly showed the second prince's domineering nature. She swept her gaze over the items scattered on the ground.
"Do you accept these?"
"Yes … I do …" The shopkeeper hurriedly said. He didn't dare to breathe too loudly and quickly took out a hundred spirit stones. Then, he saw Second Senior Sister's eyebrows raised. Trembling, he gritted his teeth and took out another hundred spirit stones.
Two hundred spirit stones were all placed aside. He squeezed out a smile at Huang Yan and Xu Qing with a pleading look in his eyes.
Second Senior Sister didn't continue to pay attention to him. She picked up the large sword on the counter and turned to walk out. When she passed by the mermaid youth, she spoke in disgust.
"Get lost. You're blocking my way. You reek of blood."
The mermaid youth's body trembled even more, but in the end, he silently took a few steps back.
"Farewell, Second Prince!"
As the second prince walked to the door, everyone in the shop cupped their fists and spoke respectfully.
Xu Qing looked up at Second Senior Sister's back and also cupped his fists.
Huang Yan's expression was one of pride as he looked around at the silent crowd. Then he patted Xu Qing on the shoulder.
"See? That's my Senior Sister, my goddess. Let's see who dares to slander us in the future.
"But you're really something, kid. You didn't hesitate to help me, and you even took responsibility for me. I'll remember this. Let me tell you, I'm a person who repays kindness with kindness. I don't have anything good on me right now, but when I see something good later, I'll give it to you as a gift."
Huang Yan's expression was one of extreme pride. His eyebrows danced in delight as he finished speaking. He waved at Xu Qing and, without waiting for him to say anything, rushed out in pursuit of Second Prince.
"Senior Sister, wait for me …."
Xu Qing's expression was still absent-minded. After a while, he withdrew his gaze from the door and glanced at the corner of his robe. Then he looked at the mermaid youth, whose face was gloomy. His eyes flickered for a moment, but they quickly returned to normal.
He picked up the two hundred Spirit Stones the shopkeeper had given him and walked out of the shop under the mermaid youth's bitter and fearful gaze. He didn't even look at the mermaid youth.
When he walked out of the shop, Xu Qing straightened his robe and brushed the corner of his robe. His gaze was gloomy.
At the same time, the mermaid youth in the shop looked at Xu Qing's back as he left. His expression was ugly. He was in a very bad mood today, and there was disgust in his eyes.
"Few of the people who have fought with me are still alive even if they manage to escape. Too bad I can't see them die."
With a cold snort in his heart, the youth withdrew his gaze, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the shop.
To him, Xu Qing was just an ant. If it weren't for Huang Yan, he would have been able to kill Xu Qing today.
"Everyone from the Seven Blood Pupils deserves to die. This kid stole my credit. He deserves to die even more. Sooner or later, he's going to die."
-----
Three chapters with 12000 words. Brothers and sisters, I'm going to give it my all ~
Especially these few chapters that seemed easy, but were actually very difficult to write. They required three lines to weave through.
To maintain order, they had to write about the little fatty's thoughts and excitement, as well as throw out the burden of Second Senior Sister.
They also couldn't let Xu Qing become a part of the background. They had to write about his cautiousness and alertness.
They also had to write about the shopkeeper and the mermaid youth's different thoughts. At the same time, they had to lay down the foreshadowing.
Only then could the plot be lively and not become a pool of stagnant water.
Brothers and sisters, you've really put in a lot of effort.
