Perfect World

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Beasts
 

The bronze precious box opened, a swath of characters surrounding it, as Shi Hao entered this special little world through a golden passage. Inside, there was no vegetation and Spiritual Energy was scarce.

A stone table and two stone stools were the only furnishings.

Fairy Yue Chan, dressed in snow-white clothes with her black hair glossy as satin, her eyes twinkling with intelligence, her face peerlessly beautiful, sat on one of the stone stools. Her perfect figure was fully displayed as she looked at the Little Pagoda on the stone table, making promises and conversing intimately.

“I can offer you ten kinds of top-tier Divine Materials for you to consume. You should know that the accumulated resources of the Heaven Mending Sect over many years, any single one of them is a precious treasure.”

“Let me think about it,” the Little Pagoda responded, swaying on the stone table, and then slowly opened its mouth to say, “It should be at least twenty kinds of Divine Materials.”

Shi Hao arrived just in time to see this scene. Were they trading? It made his eyes flicker and his expression darken as he stared at the Little Pagoda. That thing was too unscrupulous.

“Little Stone, you are here. Someone is offering twenty kinds of Divine Materials to suppress you,” said the Little Pagoda, looking rather unperturbed.

Seeing that Shi Hao ignored it, it casually continued, “The terms are quite generous, and the invitation is hard to refuse. What do you say, should I decline?”

“Clang!”

Shi Hao immediately took off a Divine Striking Stone from his hair and hurled it forcefully, hitting the Little Pagoda squarely and making a crisp clang sound.

The Little Pagoda swayed slightly, a wisp of chaotic mist dispersed, bouncing the Divine Striking Stone away, smashing it into a corner of the little world, where a heart-wrenching scream was heard through the void.

This time, the Divine Striking Stone was not pretending but was genuinely in excruciating pain. It took a long time to recover and then shouted, “Hey, big brothers, it’s not my fault at all!”

“Kid, you are really being quite disrespectful to me,” the Little Pagoda spoke, an inch tall, snow-white and transparent, looking ancient yet undeniably powerful.

“You thankless wretch, I gave you so much Divine Material, and you only helped me with a few things. Now you are even threatening me?” Shi Hao gritted his teeth.

He knew that this guy must have realized that he had obtained the treasures of Stone Country and was now trying to squeeze him, intentionally intimidating him by accepting Fairy Yue Chan’s seduction.

Fairy Yue Chan’s beautiful eyes blinked, her skin white and smooth, almost translucent, her pretty face showing a rare look of surprise for the first time. She had long realized that this seemingly jade-like Little Pagoda was exceptional, a Magic Artifact beyond imagination. She didn’t expect Shi Hao to treat it so casually.

Since she had come in, she had been gently persuading, trying to win over this mysterious Little Pagoda to use against Shi Hao and suppress him in return.

“Ah, you make it difficult for me. Although I’m familiar with you, she has promised that the treasure vaults of the Heaven Mending Sect will be opened for me to choose freely in the future. Tell me, if you were in my position, what would you do?” said the Little Pagoda leisurely.

“Really? How about buying me off? Stack all kinds of earth-related Divine Materials together, I’m going all out and siding with you for a big score!” from afar, the Divine Striking Stone murmured.

“Crack!”

Shi Hao shot an arc of electricity, knocking it aside, causing it to scream again as it crashed into a corner of the little world.

Fairy Yue Chan, with bright eyes and white teeth, remained silent. Being highly astute, she naturally knew that the stone was just joking and wasn’t truly contemplating betrayal.

However, she genuinely wanted to trade with the Little Pagoda—if possible, she wouldn’t mind making a groundbreaking promise, as long as it took action.

Remaining silent, she just watched the Little Pagoda, because everything that needed to be said had been discussed earlier. Now that Shi Hao had arrived, being a clever young lady, she didn’t want to provoke him openly.

“Kid, did you see that? She has given me a pile of Divine Materials from the Heaven Mending Sect, don’t you have anything to offer?” said the Little Pagoda, dissatisfied.

Shi Hao sneered and replied, “What’s the big deal? I’ll give you the entire treasure vault of the Heaven Mending Sect.”

“You… are not from the Heaven Mending Sect, on what basis?” the Little Pagoda asked.

“On what basis?” Shi Hao retorted, then pointed at Fairy Yue Chan and said, “On what basis does she, as my captive, along with her treasure vault, belong to me?”

“That sort of makes sense. I never give credit, and require a prepayment, miss, you now have no Divine Material, which is of no use,” the Little Pagoda said reluctantly.

“One change could give you endless Divine Materials,” said Fairy Yue Chan, her voice very charming, magnetic like celestial music from the heavens.

Shi Hao sneered, took large strides forward, and made a move to capture her, seizing her one fair arm, then began to search her up and down, inspecting her entire body.

“You…” Fairy Yue Chan had long been sealed and could not resist at this moment. Being touched inappropriately by Shi Hao, exploring up and down, she naturally could not stay calm.

Actually, she wanted to wield a sword at that moment, but unfortunately, she had no Divine Power to use. As a fairy of the Heaven Mending Sect, who had always been revered and immaculate, who would dare to treat her so disrespectfully?

She was usually serene, maintaining calm against any adversary, detached from worldly affairs like a beautiful exiled immortal. But now, she couldn’t stay calm as a young man grasped her, searching her body, making her grind her silver teeth.

A jade sword flowing with dreamlike colors, a few jars of precious medicine, some feminine clothes, and a few other objects were what Fairy Yue Chan had on her.

Clearly, the jade sword was the most valuable, unimaginably so, but of little use to the current Shi Hao. Eventually, he placed these items back on the stone table and didn’t take them away.

“Do you have anything to say?” Shi Hao asked calmly.

Fairy Yue Chan, bright-eyed and white-toothed, her neck as white as snow, tall, with a slender waist that could be encircled by a hand, curves undulating, legs long and straight, appeared almost unrealistically beautiful.

Ordinarily, wherever she went, she was the center of attention, becoming the focus of everyone’s gaze, with youths from various schools infatuated with her, countless pursuing her.

Moreover, those people were all extremely powerful, considered leaders in their own right, all gathering around her.

Today everything had changed; she had become a captive under a man, held here, a contrast so stark that she herself found it difficult to accept.

If word got out, the world would surely be in uproar, no one would believe that a chaste fairy had now been violated, imprisoned within a small-world cage.

“You possess such high potential; staying in this Lower Realm too long truly buries it,” Fairy Yue Chan spoke, her voice soft, her words melodious like the sounds of heaven.

Shi Hao sneered, not waiting for her to finish, already knowing her intention, he said, “It’s me questioning you, not here to listen to your promises of a future, seducing me with the condition to ascend to the higher realms is far from enough. Moreover, if the Lower Realm is so undesirable, why were you sent here to endure hardships?”

Both were clever people; some words did not need to be spoken, Fairy Yue Chan stayed silent, sitting there, tranquil and beautiful, like a peerless beauty stepping out of a painting.

“Big brother, how do you want to deal with her?” Divine Striking Stone scurried back.

“Naturally, to keep her as a maid, I’ve said before, I can’t go back on my word,” Shi Hao said with a smile.

Fairy Yue Chan’s delicate brows slightly furrowed; a fairy from the Heaven Mending Sect in the Lower Realm is universally revered and could never be so violated and taken as a maid, it was naturally shameful.

Shi Hao also frowned, muttering to himself, “Her scheming is so deep, will our progeny also be this cunning in the future if we have children?”

“What, big brother, are you looking to keep a maid or a concubine?” Divine Striking Stone yelled.

“Isn’t it all the same?” Shi Hao wondered.

“Beast!” Divine Striking Stone cried out.

As for Fairy Yue Chan, she stumbled back directly, a fairy of her standing, aloof from worldly desires, normally calm and confident, utterly composed, but now she looked distressed, showing this expression for the first time.

A Saintess of the Heaven Mending Sect, stunning the world, above her peers, moreover, she came from the higher realms, and with a great heritage; being someone else’s maid was unthinkable.

And to become a concubine, likely even the higher realms would be agitated, with people enraged, sweeping through the Lower Realm.

It was the first time Fairy Yue Chan felt fear, her face losing color, involuntarily stepping back, no longer able to maintain her usual aloofness and sanctity.

“You have to be prepared to be a maid or a concubine, well, unless you can offer the Heaven Mending Technique, True Dragon supreme technique, etc., I might be busy understanding them, and won’t have time for you to stay by my side,” Shi Hao casually remarked.

He opened a golden portal and stepped out, as he didn’t have time to delay here, just wanting to check if the captive was normal. He still had more important things to do.

“He’s trying to scare me, aiming for the precious symbol,” Fairy Yue Chan whispered, somewhat relieved, exhaling deeply.

However, unexpectedly, Shi Hao returned, as if he knew what she was thinking, saying, “I’m not joking; without precious symbols, just be a maid. The Clan Leader is always urging me, saying kids of my age are already running around. If you won’t hand over your Divine Skills, then have a child before you return to the higher realms.”

Speaking thus, he really left.

Fairy Yue Chan was stunned, then her face flushed with shame, angrily stamping her foot, a demeanor hardly ever seen in her, as she was always dignified, now truly frightened and agitated.

“Beast, oh beast,” Divine Striking Stone howled.

Inside the imperial palace, Shi Hao strode out of the Ancestral Temple, consulting with War King and others about starting to repair the Divine Spirit Formation within the palace. They had just finished taking inventory in the trasury, knowing there was enough material for repairs.

“The key is, the Divine Spirit Formation is formidable, even if repaired according to the blueprints, it is hard for ordinary people to implement it,” the old imperial bodyguard said with a frown.

“I’ll do it!” Shi Hao declared.

No matter what, this great court Array in the palace had to be repaired well; he believed it wouldn’t be long before there might be a fierce battle, and this Array needed to perform optimally.

Holding the precious imprint, he silently reflected, always feeling that the Human Emperor’s Seal was extraordinary, containing too many secrets that he wanted to test its reaction even during the Array’s repair.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Human Emperor’s Seal vibrated violently, releasing endless True Dragon aura, causing the entire imperial palace to be shrouded in mist, submerged.

“Ah, it has such a wonderful use?!” Shi Hao was startled, the Human Emperor’s Seal releasing endless True Dragon aura, and it was repairing the Array, placing some Divine Material taken from the treasury into the Array.

For three whole days, the palace was enveloped in dense True Dragon mist, thick and unyielding, Shi Hao and War King moved the various heavenly and terrestrial treasures into place themselves, without employing any outsiders.

Others were all unsure, the imperial palace brimming with surging True Dragon aura, was this due to the New Emperor’s accession? No one guessed that it was the Divine Spirit Formation being commanded and repaired by the Human Emperor’s Seal.

“Very good!” Shi Hao’s eyes became brighter, the Array in repair, his holding of the Human Emperor’s Seal allowed him to clearly feel how terrifying it was here.

He also placed four Divine Spirit Magic Swords into the Array, each suspended in one of the directions, these adjustments led by the Human Emperor’s Seal dominating one Divine Spirit Formation after another.

“I hope, more people from the three sects come, otherwise it really wouldn’t do this Divine Spirit great Array justice!” Shi Hao muttered to himself, his eyes glowing brightly. (To be continued.
