Chapter 1000: Chapter 976: War of Words (1/3)
Seeing the Red Moon, even those black hole-tier powers couldn’t help but show a hint of amazement, but after all, a Black Cave King is still a Black Cave King. Each possesses great determination and decisiveness, and immediately concealed the admiration in their eyes.
Then, their expressions turned solemn.
Unfathomable!
They could not discern the Red Moon’s true nature at all, not even being able to tell if the other party was a martial artist!
To give them such a feeling, only two possibilities exist: First, the other’s cultivation level is far above theirs; Second, the other party has a similar level but has deliberately hidden it.
Of course, they would not believe the first, as having a cultivation level "far" above theirs is too exaggerated! Thus, it could only be the latter.
Especially the few Black Cave Kings from Daqin Country, they already "knew" there was someone behind Zhou Heng, but since they hadn’t seen anyone, it was always speculation, until now, finally seeing the person proved it.
"Hahaha! So the Red Moon lady is the one we’ve been speculating about, please!" The Great Demon Dragon Emperor laughed loudly, gesturing for the Red Moon to enter the seat.
The Red Moon remained indifferent, flicked her water sleeves, and stepped towards the banquet in the first area, almost disregarding the eight Black Cave Kings.
Such an attitude might seem excessively arrogant if shown by someone else, even another Black Cave King, but for the Red Moon, it was perfectly fitting. A goddess, of course, must have the bearing of a goddess!
Of course, only Zhou Heng knew that the Red Moon was not only peerless in beauty but also a Chaos Realm expert, and a few Black Cave Kings were not worthy of her serious attention.
The Great Demon Dragon Emperor and others followed the Red Moon, as if she was not the guest but their master. They fell a step behind her.
Once these prominent figures had gone far, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure from black hole-tier powers was truly terrifying!
Du Yuntao was sweating profusely, feeling like his bones were about to scatter, and after sighing, his legs gave out, and he sat on the ground.
Seeing this, everyone showed a trace of gloating.
This fool dared to clamor in front of black hole-tier powers, truly audacious!
Zhou Heng was indeed right; some affections are best kept to oneself!
Admiring black hole-tier powers?
Wouldn’t saying this out loud be just a joke to others?
Moreover, Du Yuntao even performed a farce in front of the black hole-tier powers, luckily the Red Moon was good-tempered, otherwise, she would have slapped Du Yuntao to death, and Du Chun would have thanked the Red Moon for cleaning the Du Family’s house!
Was the Red Moon good-tempered?
Clearly, the answer is no! But at her level, even black hole-tier powers seemed like air to her, no matter what they said or did, couldn’t capture her attention. If displeased, a single slap would suffice.
Du Yuntao felt fortunate to have survived disaster, naturally despising Yuwen Hua now, but the immediate concern wasn’t settling accounts with Yuwen Hua, but mending relations with Zhou Heng!
After all, Zhou Heng’s relationship with that prominent figure was too close. If Zhou Heng gave any negative feedback, the Du Family might face extinction!
—Ordinarily, the Black Cave Kings of Vast Moon Country would speak out, but because this time Du Yuntao himself caused trouble, what is the face of black hole-tier powers?
If the Red Moon were to truly come for vengeance, the Black Cave Kings of Vast Moon Country wouldn’t even dare to make a peep!
"Brother Zhou, I apologize for my previous offenses. Please, be generous and forgive me this once!" Du Yuntao said obsequiously, adopting a posture lower than ever.
Zhou Heng smiled faintly, patted his shoulder, and said, "I’ve already forgotten!" He was never one for grudges, but had no interest in forming any friendship with Du Yuntao either, and immediately strode forward, heading towards the third area.
Watching Zhou Heng’s back, everyone couldn’t hide their envy.
Having a black-hole background is rare, but not unique to him, like Daqin Country which has five Black Cave Kings, all of whom have descendants. But having a Black Cave King as one’s bride... well, that’s a fortune that only Zhou Heng has!
The Red Moon had admitted it herself; Zhou Heng was her fiancé!
At this moment, people realized, since the Red Moon was a black hole-tier power, why did she go to the Heavenly Mystery Court?
Hiss, could it be for Zhou Heng?
This lad truly earns enviable fortune, being able to have a Black Cave King do such things for him!
Upon entering the third area, Zhou Heng found that figures like Liu Shishi, Lin Yun’er, Liu Dinghui, Zhao Heqi had already been seated. They, seemingly confident in their status, didn’t join others outside watching, unintentionally missing the scene of the seven Black Cave Kings greeting the Red Moon.
"Zhou Heng!" Seeing Zhou Heng approaching, Lin Yun’er called out joyfully, rushing towards him. This somewhat naive princess openly exhibited enthusiasm, disregarding someone’s face, already turned ashen.
Naturally, that someone was Lin Xianyang. A month had passed, and his wounds were healed, restoring his previous handsomeness, but now his expression was unpleasant, eager to pounce and bite Zhou Heng.
The others all smiled subtly, though all were future ministers of Daqin Country, their relations weren’t harmonious, instead, they were full of rivalry.
"Seventh Princess, please restrain yourself!" Lin Xianyang said coldly.
The thing men absolutely can’t stand is being humiliated!
Liu Yun’er, however, seemed blissfully unaware of this as she turned around, made a funny face at Lin Xianyang, and stuck out her tongue. Then she smiled brightly at Zhou Heng and said, "Did you bring any sweets for me?"
"Isn’t there already enough here for you to eat?" Zhou Heng chuckled.
"I’m tired of it, it doesn’t taste good anymore!" Liu Yun’er shook her head repeatedly, grabbing Zhou Heng by the arm. "Come on, come on, I’ll take you to sneak some sweets!"
The dignified princess needs to sneak around for sweets? Clearly, this girl has never been the type to keep to the rules!
"Isn’t that enough?" Lin Xianyang stood up, eyes flashing with cold fury.
"Gorilla, you’re really annoying!" Liu Yun’er said with disdain, but thought for a moment and then smugly laughed, "But after tonight, you won’t be my fiancé anymore, hahaha!"
Zhou Heng couldn’t help but twitch at this. The contract isn’t even finalized yet, how could she be bragging about this? Besides, isn’t this supposed to be a secret? If the Great Demon Dragon Emperor loses face because of this, it might only strengthen his resolve to see the marriage through.
Such an unreliable team member!
He glanced at Liu Yun’er’s slender figure. Though she wasn’t fully developed yet, she was already almost as tall as an average adult woman. One could foresee she’d become a graceful beauty, totally unrelated to a sow in any way.
"Impudent!" Lin Xianyang couldn’t let his face fall in front of everyone. He strode towards Lin Yun’er, his expression so dark it seemed like water could drip from it.
Zhou Heng pulled Liu Yun’er behind him and faced Lin Xianyang head-on.
"Move aside!" Lin Xianyang said coldly.
"Why should I?" Zhou Heng responded bluntly. He had no fondness for Lin Xianyang. Previously, during the hunting competition, they agreed to a fair fight, yet Lin Xianyang backtracked and unleashed the power of Nine Hundred Paths of the Milky Way.
Not only that, he even falsely accused Zhou Heng of cheating!
Zhou Heng hated being wronged the most and loathed this kind of hypocritical scoundrel!
Regardless of Liu Yun’er’s involvement, he was determined to crush Lin Xianyang so thoroughly he’d never raise his head again.
Lin Xianyang fixed his gaze on Zhou Heng, and after a long moment, he said icily, "When we get in the ring later, I will defeat you in front of everyone and settle this debt!"
"Are you out of your mind?" Zhou Heng sneered. This guy was eliminated early on, how would he even enter the ring to fight him?
"Frog in the well!" Lin Xianyang did not answer Zhou Heng, instead giving him a contemptuous look.
Dammit, he must have used his father’s influence to secure himself another entry spot! What’s so proud about that? You should be discreet about having gone through the back door, not flaunt it to the world!
"Hahaha, if you can actually stand in front of me by then, I’ll beat you again!" Zhou Heng declared arrogantly.
Lin Xianyang’s eyes seemed to blaze with fire. Although he lost to Zhou Heng in the hunting competition, he didn’t think it was due to lack of skill but because Zhou Heng had used a "Forbidden Artifact"!
——Otherwise, how could a mere Milky Way King unleash the power of a Quasi-Comet Realm through an artifact?
But now it’s different. Before entering the ring, weapons will be inspected, and if someone uses a weapon that hasn’t been checked, it means instant defeat!
He wasn’t afraid of Zhou Heng "cheating" again!
"I’m afraid you won’t even have the qualifications to stand before me!" Lin Xianyang retorted defiantly.
"Then I’ll be waiting for your challenge!" Zhou Heng sat down at an empty table with Liu Yun’er.
Outrageous!
Lin Xianyang’s eyes were ablaze. His fiancée was actually sitting with another man, talking and laughing without any sense of restraint!
Endure! Endure!
He knew Liu Yun’er had always wanted to annul this marriage, but he absolutely would not allow it!
Does she think this will make him so embarrassed that he’ll cancel the engagement himself?
Fat chance!
Once he marries her, he’ll properly train this haughty princess! And the wedding date... is imminent! As long as he wins the championship in this tournament, he’ll seize the opportunity to ask the Great Demon Dragon Emperor to expedite the wedding!
He and Liu Yun’er already have a marriage contract, and he believed that the Great Demon Dragon Emperor would appreciate his sincerity and agree to the marriage soon.
"Yun’er, Zhou Heng, you don’t mind if I join you, do you?" Liu Shishi also came over to join the fun, asking if they minded while already sitting down with her fiery figure.
However, she wasn’t alone. Accompanying her was a burly young man, as robust as a bear, with such an abundance of body hair it was terrifying; even the back of his hands sprouted thick, long black hair, resembling a humanoid bear.
Clearly, this was her fiancé, the prince with the Black Gold Bear bloodline! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (), whether with recommendation or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit for reading.)
