Chapter 310: Yang Xiuxiu
"Yang Xiuxiu, I know you're there, come out!" The Young Master called out directly toward the inn without any pleasantries.
Before long, the young girl Yang Xiuxiu appeared at the window, looking with disdain at the Young Master standing far off on the platform.
Seeing Yang Xiuxiu make an appearance, the Young Master ignored her expression, his face full of smiles: "Well, well, well, I'll come up to find you now."
"No." Seeing the other approaching the inn, Yang Xiuxiu hurriedly stopped him. Meeting this rogue in the guest room, wouldn't she be bullied to death? If they were to meet, it must be outside, in the eye of the public. This way, he wouldn't have an opportunity to touch her.
Although Yang Xiuxiu detested the Young Master, she was also aware of his noble status. At this critical juncture, the Yang family ought not to make another enemy.
She hurried downstairs and came to the platform.
At the sight of Yang Xiuxiu, making her first appearance, many adventurers revealed lecherous looks.
Yang Xiuxiu couldn't be called a great beauty, yet her unique and charming demeanor was so captivating that people couldn't forget her.
There are countless beauties in the world, but few possess their own unique aura. As soon as Yang Xiuxiu appeared, she immediately became the dream girl in the hearts of many young men.
Seeing Yang Xiuxiu standing gracefully before him, the Young Master was so excited that he spoke up: "Xiuxiu, since our parting at the Mountain Viewing five years ago, have you been well?"
"I am very well, no need for you to worry." Yang Xiuxiu's tone was calm, without revealing any emotion.
"It's good if you're well. Since today we've met, it must be the fate cultivated from a past life. Would you be willing to follow me back to Pifu World and become my wife, the wife of the young master of Pifu World? Someday, when I inherit the throne of Pifu's master, you'll be the queen of Pifu World, second only to one, above ten thousand."
"I will not become your queen of Pifu World, and please, as the Young Master of Pifu, show some respect." Seeing the Young Master from Pifu getting increasingly excited and attempting to get touchy, Yang Xiuxiu could no longer suppress her anger, and she took two steps back, coldly refusing.
At this time, Housekeeper Huang intervened between them, preventing the Young Master's approach, and interrupted: "Oh my, Young Master, my young lady is still young, this matter can't be rushed, furthermore, marriage is a serious affair, it requires parental consent and matchmaking arrangements."
Seeing the blocking Housekeeper Huang, the Young Master of Pifu immediately scolded: "Get out!"
Speaking of which, his underlings struck, sending Housekeeper Huang flying with a punch, and those Yang family retainers who wanted to step forward to stop it were intercepted by the Young Master's people, unable to provide support.
The Young Master of Pifu wasn't foolish—matchmaking arrangements?
Ha!
Back then at the Mountain Viewing Convention, he was scolded good and proper by Yang Lin, the King of the Mountain, for getting close to Yang Xiuxiu. Expecting Yang Lin to agree to marry Yang Xiuxiu to him? The Young Master of Pifu himself knew it was absolutely impossible.
Upon learning that Yang Xiuxiu might appear here, he had sought the help of the ancestor Heavenly God to hasten the journey, thus arriving at the town in time.
This time, whether Yang Xiuxiu agreed or not, the Young Master of Pifu intended to use force to bring his beloved girl back to Pifu World.
"Xiuxiu, are you going to come with me yourself, or..."
Before the Young Master of Pifu could finish his sentence, Yang Xiuxiu decisively replied: "I will not go with you. Although Pifu World is formidable, my Yang family isn't to be trifled with. If you dare to insult me, the Yang family won't let you off!"
Facing Yang Xiuxiu's threat, the Young Master of Pifu chuckled: "Yang family? I hear you can't even secure the position of world master. Even if your Yang family is the Controller of Lin'an World, at most, you're merely equal to my Pifu World. Now that I've met you, I won't let you leave my side ever again!"
Saying this, the Young Master of Pifu reached out his hand toward Yang Xiuxiu.
With Yang Xiuxiu's minor strength, how could she evade the grasp of the Young Master of Pifu? Just as he was about to succeed, a thunderous sound exploded.
Looking towards the sound, the Young Master of Pifu saw a spear wrapped in furious lightning racing toward his heart.
A Pifu World strongman stepped up to block but was instantly pierced by the spear.
Seeing the spear's power, the Young Master of Pifu gave up continuing to attack Yang Xiuxiu, retreated and dodged, avoiding the spear's stroke.
The spear lodged in the platform, instantly casting lightning around, with storm clouds surging.
Yang Xiuxiu relaxed, surprised, "Brother! How did you arrive?!"
"Hmph! If I hadn't come, who knows what trouble you'd have gotten yourself into." A cold snort sounded from nearby, as Yang Qing leaped onto the platform in a few steps.
Upon Yang Qing's arrival, the fight between Pifucheng strongmen and Yang family retainers halted.
"Yang Qing!" The Young Master of Pifu glared coldly at him. He was just a step away from capturing Yang Xiuxiu, yet he was hindered by her brother-in-law—how could he not be furious.
"Dongban Huasan, this is not the territory of your Pifucheng. You dare act impudently here, trying to abduct a member of my Yang family—who gave you the courage!" Yang Qing's attitude was firm, showing no regard for Pifu World.
At being chided, Dongban Huasan immediately grew angry: "Is my Pifu World one for you, insignificant Yang family, to comment on? If you do not hand over Yang Xiuxiu today, my Pifu World will send troops to Lin'an to annihilate your Yang family!"
"So if I capture you today, when your Pifu World attacks Lin'an, I'll hang you over the walls—won't that be perfect?" Saying this, Yang Qing pulled out the spear lodged in the platform, swept it horizontally in attack.
The Young Master of Pifu had been on guard against Yang Qing, reacting swiftly, retreating and dodging.
But Yang Qing was faster, advancing while sweeping, extending the reach of his spear, smashing into Dongban Huasan's side waist.
The tremendous force sent the Young Master of Pifucheng flying, spitting mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Yang Qing intended to pursue, but the divine pressure that suddenly surged restrained him in place.
Seeing the silhouette of the Pifu World Heavenly God appear on the platform, Yang Qing's expression darkened: "Is it the intent of the Heavenly God to interfere in mortal conflict?"
The Pifu World Heavenly God coldly looked at Yang Qing: "Sharp tongue, disrespecting the Heavenly God, should be punished!"
With these words, the force intensified, transforming the divine pressure into substance, as though a massive mountain, crushing upon Yang Qing's shoulders.
In mere moments, Yang Qing felt the approach of death.
Fortunately, the town's master intervened in time, dispelling the Pifu World's Heavenly God's threat.
Seeing the town's master appear, the Pifucheng Heavenly God sneered: "What now? Dongfeng Old Ghost, are you sure you want to wade into this troubled water?"
The town's master, known as Dongfeng Old Ghost, remained unfazed, not even bothering to reply.
Seeing no response, the Pifu World Heavenly God felt insulted. Although his power was inferior to this Dongfeng Old Ghost, Pifu World had no fear of him—isolated and alone, why should he contend with Pifu World?
"Impudent, if you still wish to survive in the Constant Domain, move aside, and someday beg forgiveness from my Pifu ancestor, perhaps you might receive pardon."
These brazen words finally angered Dongfeng Old Ghost: "Fine, then I'll wait for your Pifucheng's revenge."
With that, he pointed at the nearby Pifu World Heavenly God.
Under this finger, Divine Power surged.
In the next second, a muffled grunt echoed, as the Pifu World Heavenly God staggered backward, blood trickling from his mouth.
At this moment, the gaze of the Pifu World Heavenly God towards Dongfeng Old Ghost was filled with fear, daring not to continue speaking, quickly swooping the Young Master of Pifu and leaving the town without looking back.
Having done this, Dongfeng Old Ghost glanced around, addressing the adventurers trembling under divine might: "The platform battles will continue as usual, but I hope you refrain from private fights outside the platform. If the town's rules are violated, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Yang Qing thanks the Heavenly God for his assistance, the Yang family will offer great thanks." Yang Qing stood and expressed his gratitude to the other.
Dongfeng Old Ghost glanced at Yang Qing: "You're quite impressive, almost ready to level up to the God Realm, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qing smiled wryly: "This intervention, I suppose it's not far off."
"Hmm." Dongfeng Old Ghost said no more, disappearing from the platform.
Calming himself, Housekeeper Huang stood and cupped his hands toward those below the platform: "Everyone, the events were sudden; today's platform duel is temporarily suspended and will resume tomorrow as usual, thank you for your understanding."
In response, the group of challengers said nothing. Having just experienced the baptism of divine pressure, who still had the heart for battle? Speaking truthfully, Earth Realm pressure... truly terrifying!
