925 A Grand Show! (2)
With his entire appearance appearing incredibly bizarre, he resembled a gigantic bat as he headed straight for the drenched Nether Fairy.
In that split second, Xu Qing moved like a ghost towards a nearby maid. The splashes suspended in the air also distorted, turning into water spheres and flying towards the other maids.
Everything happened very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing appeared in front of the maid. Her expression changed, and she tried to step back, but it was too late. With a swift motion of his right hand, Xu Qing struck her, causing the maid to cough up blood and collapse, unconscious on the ground.
Xu Qing didn’t kill anyone. The shadow under his feet spread out, forming a black curtain. At the same time, his speed became even faster.
Most of these maidservants’ cultivation levels were at the Golden Core realm and they only had two Nascent Soul cultivators. The difference between them and Xu Qing was very great. Hence, Xu Qing’s attack only lasted for a few breaths.
Not a single one of the dozens of maidservants could escape. All of them fainted and lay strewn around the pool. After doing all this, Xu Qing turned his head and looked in the captain’s direction.
He saw that the captain’s body collapsed under Nether Fairy’s cold snort and wave of her hand, shattering into pieces.
However, at the next instant, the captain’s shattered body actually transformed into countless blue bugs that headed straight for Nether Fairy from all directions.
There were no less than tens of thousands of these small bugs. Although Nether Fairy still destroyed them all with a raise of her hand, they split apart again.
In the blink of an eye, the number of small bugs increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Finally, they covered the spirit pool densely, forming a vortex that enveloped the surroundings of Nether Fairy and even connected to the vortex under the pool.
In an instant, the vortex disappeared along with Nether Fairy.
Only the ripples in the pool continued to fluctuate as the water fell. After more than ten breaths, the pool slowly calmed down.
Xu Qing saw everything and the strange feeling in his heart grew even stronger. He quickly checked his surroundings and confirmed that all the energy fluctuations here had been hidden and didn’t spread out at all.
“It went too smoothly…”
“Nether Fairy was once a Nihility Almighty. Even if she has fallen to the perfected Spirit Repository now, it’s impossible for it to go so smoothly!”
Xu Qing fell silent. However, a thought quickly surfaced in his mind.
“However, the captain has too many secrets. It’s not impossible for him to accomplish this with his full strength and such long preparations. Perhaps this is the reason why he was confident.”
Xu Qing thought about it and felt that it made sense. Hence, as he reinforced the concealment in the surroundings, he paid attention to the changes in the pool. At the same time, he sensed the world fragment he had lent to the captain.
Due to a large number of arrangements, Xu Qing couldn’t see the details of what was happening inside. However, he could still sense the terrifying energy fluctuations coming from it.
Just like that, time flowed by and ten hours passed.
Xu Qing waited silently. Although it was easier for problems to occur as time passed, Xu Qing felt that although the captain was crazy, he shouldn’t fail so easily.
Finally, after another two hours, the pool suddenly rippled.
Xu Qing took a few steps back and hid himself. He was prepared to escape at any time and looked over with a solemn expression.
The surface of the water churned and ripples continued to form as a head appeared from under the water.
It was the head of a woman. She was extremely charming and her skin was fairer than snow. It was none other than Nether Fairy.
After she surfaced from the pool, she looked at Xu Qing and slowly stood up, revealing the beautiful curves formed by her clothes sticking to her skin. She was even holding half a head in her hand.
That head… was actually the captain.
The energy emitting from her body was clearly at the perfected Spirit Repository Realm. At that moment, the gaze she used to look at Xu Qing carried a hint of coldness. She threw half of the head in her hand at Xu Qing’s feet.
“Your senior brother is useless.”
The captain’s head rolled down. He wasn’t dead yet. At this moment, his eyes were filled with bitterness as he weakly spoke.
“Junior Brother, run quickly… it was a trap…”
Xu Qing was expressionless.
“Eldest Senior Brother, stop fooling around.”
“I am really not messing around… Run quickly. It’s true this time. Xuan Mingzi is coming soon. This is his plan to target me!” Half of the captain’s head said anxiously.
Xu Qing glanced at Nether Fairy who was walking toward him and sighed.
“Do you want to shave your legs first? The little princess of the Sea Corpse Race was the same last time. This flaw… is very obvious.”
Nether Fairy stopped in her tracks. Her beautiful face lowered her head and looked at her thigh under her clothes. There were densely-packed hairs there, as though she was wearing a pair of woolen pants.
Even with the clothes covering it, it was still very obvious.
Nether Fairy coughed dryly and cast a resentful glance at Xu Qing. This gaze caused Xu Qing to take a few steps back. Ling’er also crawled out of his collar and looked at Nether Fairy in disbelief as she took a deep breath.
“Haha, I’m just joking.” The captain’s voice rang out from the mouth of Nether Fairy. As for the half of the head under Xu Qing’s feet, it melted into a few small blue bugs that quickly entered the pool and returned to the captain’s body.
“How’s Nether Fairy?” Xu Qing calmly asked.
“She’s fine. After I told her everything, the complexity in her heart was indescribable. After that, we had a friendly exchange and communication.”
The captain sat at the side and spoke proudly as he shaved.
This appearance was incomparably strange.
“Just like that, she and I successfully resolved the misunderstanding of the past. She was also grateful that I told her the truth, so she willingly cooperated and chose to seal herself.”
“You see, I’m a reasonable person.”
After the captain finished shaving one of his legs, he changed to another one and continued. As for the hair, they turned into ashes and dissipated.
