Chapter 375

Fang Xing completely ignored the murderous intent coming from Yuan Bizhan and slowly made his way to the front of the table. The first thing he did was wink with what he believed to be an extremely handsome look towards the Dragon King’s daughter—causing her to start giggling—before he began to look over the three treasures. He raised the miniature mountain and rocked his head while saying, “There are three treasures on the table, and the first one is naturally this miniature mountain. What that guy said was correct; this miniature mountain is indeed crafted using a real mountain and is one of the most unique existence among all spirit weapons and tools. Its name is ‘Shanbao’, similar in power and renown as the Hetu, a painting refined with an entire river. Although the tier is not high, they were born from the effort of the ancient weapon blacksmiths and their power is extremely great!”

The cultivators were all a little surprised when they heard this. Even Yuan Bizhan had only seen through its original form without knowing its true name, and it was only after Fang Xing mentioned it that they knew this item was called “Shanbao”. Even the Dragon King’s daughter was a bit surprised after hearing Fang Xing mention the Shanbao and Hetu, and the impression she had towards him changed somewhat.

After a short moment of surprise, Yuan Bizhan began to show a cold smile. “I already appraised this before, so why do you need to repeat it?”

Fang Xing turned and rolled his eye at him. “You didn’t cover everything you needed to! Based on the eldest princess’s words at the beginning, this wager needed you to reveal both its usage and name, but you only just mentioned its original form without saying anything about its name. You’d technically already lost, but the eldest princess gave you some face and didn’t directly point it out. It is you who didn’t know your own position….”

Yuan Bizhan’s face flushed red with anger after being scolded, but he couldn’t find any way to rebut. As for the Dragon King’s daughter, she smiled more and more and felt Fang Xing had become steadily more likeable.

Fang Xing then picked up the second treasure—the burnt piece of wood—and inspected it in his hands. “Indeed, this is Fusang Wood that has been struck by lightning. Its Yang properties have been pushed out and it has Yin properties instead. It can suppress evil spirits as well as help one cultivate Qi of the Yin property. Of course, what you said earlier about being able to use it to help practice those evil Yin techniques is true, but you’re such an idiot you don’t even bother to think? The eldest princess isn’t a demon or demonic beast, so why would she use it to practice Yin techniques? I believe the eldest princess must have used it for something else or didn’t even put it to use and merely kept it in her collection.”

Yuan Bizhan’s expression became angry and stressed. He considered himself as very knowledgeable, but for a random kid to crawl out from nowhere to point out the mistakes he’d made on the first two treasures, perhaps this kid had been planted by the Dragon King’s daughter in advance to purposely make him look bad?

The Dragon King’s daughter smiled and looked towards Fang Xing with growing fondness, causing Yuan Bizhan to grow even more furious as he coldly replied, “Please appraise this third treasure then, fellow Daoist!” He was more than certain this third treasure was nothing more than an ordinary broken compass without any special properties, so he wanted to see what would come out from Fang Xing’s mouth. If the Dragon King’s daughter accepted his answer regardless of what it actually was, he could be certain the Dragon King’s daughter had colluded with this little bastard to trick him together. If such was the case, he wouldn’t mind directly making them pay.

The Dragon King’s daughter looked towards Fang Xing with some anticipation, and no one could tell what was on her mind. She had indeed decided she wasn’t going to let Yuan Bizhan get his way and that if someone dared to come out to appraise this third treasure, she’d confirm it as being correct no matter what they said. It could be said the Sword Embryo had been half-taken, half-swindled from Yuan Bizhan, but with her battle prowess, she wasn’t worried about him causing any problems. When she saw Fang Xing like this, however, she felt this person might perhaps give her a pleasant surprise.

Just at this moment, Fang Xing picked up the third treasure and pretended to seriously inspect it. Just as everyone was looking on in anticipation, he suddenly smirked and threw the compass aside. He placed one foot on the small table in front of the Dragon King’s daughter, raised her chin with his hand, and smirked. “As for the third treasure… it’s right here….”

The cultivators were left completely in shock. Yuan Bizhan was the first to stand up and angrily shout, “Are you courting death, you little livestock? How dare you so rudely disrespect the eldest princess!”

Fang Xing rolled his eyes. “What respect or disrespect? Isn’t this just about treasure appraisal?”

“You’ve already thrown away that compass, what the f*ck are you going to appraise?” Yuan Bizhan cursed. It was fine for Fang Xing to appraise the treasure, but how did he come about appraising the chin of the Dragon King’s daughter?

Fang Xing unexpectedly narrowed his eyes and disdainfully replied, “You are so unromantic. Who said that compass is the third treasure? The third treasure is clearly this dainty beauty! You can consider yourself a mutt for being so blind as to not see through this after so long!”

Once these words came out, the entire room became quiet and even Yuan Bizhan stood dumbstruck as a thought quickly flashed past his mind. ‘This bi*ch was toying with me from the beginning and I didn’t realize it? Dammit, I knew this woman is coquettish to the extreme, but who would expect her to play such a card?’

Even the Dragon King’s daughter started to laugh after a moment of surprise, and the louder she laughed, the more comfortable and satisfied she felt. She stood up and pinched Fang Xing’s cheeks before drawing her extremely beautiful face close to his. “Little brother, I am really liking you more and more,” she said with a sweet voice and laugh, “I must say, you should be my big treasure instead….”

Fang Xing flushed at this. “Don’t call me little brother ¹ , how about little big brother?”

As a Golden Core, perhaps it wasn’t the best feeling to be repeatedly toyed with by this little kid, but she wasn’t a narrow-minded person; she felt this was getting more and more interesting so she pinched Fang Xing’s cheeks once more. “What a clever kid you are!” She stood up and attempted to say something to Yuan Bizhan, but she suddenly felt a softness around her waist—she’d been groped. Her face began to blush and she turned towards Fang Xing with a little resentment. “Behave yourself, or I’ll chop your paws off!”

Fang Xing rolled his eyes at this. ‘Who knows how many men you’ve slept with already, what’s wrong with me touching you a bit?’

Yuan Bizhan had been deep in thought the entire time, and the more he considered it, the more he felt this had been a legitimate chance given to him by the Dragon King’s daughter—he would have easily gotten the beauty for himself if he’d only thought outside the box. He could only blame himself for wanting to win too much; he’d been focused solely on determining the unique properties of the compass and had decided the Dragon King’s daughter was trying to cheat him when he failed to appraise it. He’d spoken too harshly and had now offended her.

Such thoughts made him feel even more uncomfortable, but he felt since the Dragon King’s daughter did seem to like him, there might still be a chance to redeem himself if he tried a little harder. He began to feel much better again, but just as he decided to say something nice to her, he happened to see Fang Xing smirk and try to grope her waist. It didn’t take long before his eyes turned red with jealousy. “How dare you disrespect the Dragon King’s daughter! Little livestock, I’m going to take your life!” His jealousy was so great he didn’t care anymore, and his sword was ready after only a loud yell. With a swoosh , the sword light became akin to a dragon as it thrust towards the back of Fang Xing’s head with clear intent to take his life.

The attack from a Videha cultivator was extremely powerful and profound. He was clearly under great anger and the attack contained a great amount of Qi, turning the sword’s power into enormous brute strength. Such power spread out in all directions, suppressing all of the cultivators present and making it so only this sword was able to move. This strike would have been difficult to defend against even if it was in a head-on battle, to say nothing of being used so suddenly as a sneak attack.

At such an important moment, it was only the Dragon King’s daughter who was very close to both of them that was able to quickly react. However, despite being a Golden Core, she realized she didn’t have any time to perform a spell. Facing an attack that would assuredly leave Fang Xing dead, she loudly shouted, “How dare you!” and moved to catch Yuan Bizhan’s longsword with her bare hands.

Tchh ….

The blade slid an inch or so, but despite so much friction, the sharp edge did not actually wound her hand at all. Those from the Dragon Palace of the Azure Seas were known for their powerful and sturdy physiques, and from this it seemed to be very true indeed.

Fang Xing was someone who loved trouble, so he had a good habit of reflexively defending himself from others after he’d offended them; although he had his back turned, he’d also been secretly paying attention to Yuan Bizhan’s movements. His spirit sense was also extraordinary, and he’d been alert and prepared to retaliate the moment Yuan Bizhan exposed his murderous intent. “Damn your uncle, how dare you attack me!” Fang Xing didn’t even bother to think as he turned around and kicked out.

Yuan Bizhan’s sword was being grasped by the Dragon King’s daughter, and even though she was only holding on to it with her bare hands, she was a Golden Core and her great power forced Yuan Bizhan to rotate his Qi defensely within him. If he did not do so, the longsword would likely quiver so much from the opposing Golden Core power that it would fly out of his control, publicly humiliating him.

Fang Xing’s foot slammed towards Yuan Bizhan, and the latter was focusing so completely on fending off the Golden Core power from the Dragon King’s daughter that he didn’t have his guard up—he ended up getting kicked right in the chest. His face distorted with distress and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth as he was sent flying like a deflated balloon, and it was only after he’d rolled half a dozen times on the ground that he came to a stop.

The entire hall became so silent even the drop of a pin could be heard.

A disciple of Videha’s mighty Yuan clan was sent flying with a single kick?
