Chapter 720 - 719: Dare to Touch Lord Mosquito’s People! Courting Death

To show her sincerity, the green-skirted girl raised her hand and summoned a blue flame.

It landed on the body of the white-robed girl.

In just a moment,

the white-robed girl’s body

was burned until not even bone remained.

Not even a speck of ash was left behind.

Gu Yuexi, of course, didn’t believe a word of the green-skirted girl’s lies.

’First of all, I can’t even produce Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s inheritance.’

’Even if I really did have it,’

’the moment I handed the inheritance over to the green-skirted girl’

’would be the moment of my death.’

’The green-skirted girl would never let me leave.’

But facing the green-skirted girl, who was hiding behind her Magical Treasure like a turtle in its shell,

she no longer had any effective means of Attack.

Although she was about to die,

there wasn’t the slightest bit of sadness in her heart.

There was only a lingering thought of that black mosquito,

one she couldn’t let go of.

"You damn mosquito."

"If there is a next life..."

"Would you be willing to become my Beast Pet again?"

Seeing that Gu Yuexi remained silent for a long time,

just standing there in a daze,

the green-skirted girl completely lost her patience.

"Gu Yuexi, if you’re looking to die, then I will grant your wish!"

"I only need to restrain you."

"Then I can use the Soul Searching Technique to find Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s inheritance myself!"

"Once I have the inheritance of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, I’ll leave your corpse intact."

The green-skirted girl approached Gu Yuexi step by step.

However, she still maintained the highest level of vigilance,

wary of a last-ditch counterattack from Gu Yuexi.

After all,

the cautionary tale of the white-robed girl was right before her eyes.

Stopping three meters in front of Gu Yuexi,

the green-skirted girl confirmed that Gu Yuexi had completely lost the ability to resist.

Only then did she let out a small sigh of relief.

She summoned an Immortal Binding Rope that flickered with golden light

and flicked it toward Gu Yuexi.

The Immortal Binding Rope, as if it had eyes of its own,

instantly wrapped around Gu Yuexi’s body,

binding her tightly.

Forget Gu Yuexi, who was only in the Profound Understanding Realm.

Even an expert at the Void Refinement Realm,

if bound by this Immortal Binding Rope,

would be unable to move an inch.

Only now

did the green-skirted girl finally relax completely.

She dismissed all the Magical Treasures surrounding her.

Her eyes were filled with unconcealed greed,

staring intently at Gu Yuexi’s head,

as if it held some priceless treasure.

"The inheritance of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi."

"It’s finally within my grasp!"

The green-skirted girl licked her lips.

Slowly, she extended her right hand,

preparing to use the Soul Searching Technique on Gu Yuexi.

Just as her right hand

was about to touch Gu Yuexi’s hair,

a furious roar suddenly thundered from the sky.

It was like a clap of thunder from the ninth heaven,

echoing throughout the entire valley.

"You dare to touch MY person?!?"

"Courting death!!!"

Before the words had even faded,

a pitch-black figure,

like a bolt of black lightning,

descended from the sky.

It was a gigantic mosquito, five hundred meters long.

Its black carapace gleamed with a cold, metallic luster.

Its six sharp, long legs were like the Grim Reaper’s scythes.

It swung its front claws,

which carried a world-destroying power,

and slashed viciously at the green-skirted girl.

A terrifying power surged toward her,

forcing the green-skirted girl to immediately stop what she was doing to Gu Yuexi.

She retreated abruptly,

while once again summoning the Ancient Bronze Shield

to block in front of herself.

"BOOM!!!"

With a deafening explosion,

the green-skirted girl, along with her Ancient Bronze Shield,

were sent flying by the mosquito’s vicious swipe.

Like a kite with a broken string,

she crashed through three sturdy houses in a row

before finally coming to a stop.

Meanwhile, the pavilion where Gu Yuexi was imprisoned,

under the aftershock of the blow,

let out a "CREAK... GROAN..."

and then collapsed with a roar.

At this moment, Gu Yuexi,

bound tightly by the Immortal Binding Rope,

was unable to channel any Spiritual Power,

nor could she move an inch.

She could only fall along with the collapsing pavilion,

from a height of a hundred meters,

plummeting down.

The ground was still over a hundred meters below.

If she hadn’t been injured,

with her powerful Emperor’s Body,

even if she fell directly onto the ground,

she wouldn’t have been harmed.

But now,

she was down to her last breath.

The sword wound on her chest was still bleeding profusely.

Falling like this,

it was very likely that the impact would snuff out even that final breath.

As the ground rushed up to meet her,

death was imminent.

Yet there was not a trace of fear in Gu Yuexi’s eyes.

She lifted her head,

staring blankly into the air,

at the massive figure of the black mosquito.

She murmured,

her voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

"You damn mosquito."

"Is it really you?"

"I... I’m not dreaming, am I?"

Soon,

she got her answer.

Chu Sheng flapped his enormous wings

and dived down from the sky.

His Speed was incredible, and his body shrank rapidly as he descended.

The second before Gu Yuexi was about to hit the ground,

Chu Sheng had already shrunk to five meters in length and landed steadily in front of her.

He extended his two front legs

and gently scooped Gu Yuexi up.

Then.

Chu Sheng lowered his head,

raised his sharp proboscis,

and aimed for Gu Yuexi’s thigh.

He plunged it in fiercely.

A familiar connection, one from the depths of their souls,

was instantly established between the two.

Gu Yuexi immediately sensed

that this was not the master-servant Beast Taming Contract she had signed with Chu Sheng before.

It was a brand new, equal Soul Contract.

This contract bound their souls tightly together.

From now on, they would live and die as one, sharing all joys and sorrows.

Gu Yuexi opened her mouth,

wanting to say something,

but was forcefully interrupted by Chu Sheng.

In a vicious tone,

Chu Sheng said to her,

"Gu Yuexi, you listen to me, and you listen good."

"If you ever dare to unilaterally break our contract again,"

"I’ll sign a master-servant contract with you."

"Where I am the master, and you are the servant!"

"You hear me?!"

Hearing the vicious words spoken by Chu Sheng,

Gu Yuexi suddenly felt

her eyes begin to well up with tears.

As the First Beast Taming Empress of all time,

and as the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi,

Gu Yuexi’s heart had always been ice-cold.

She never allowed herself to feel emotion,

let alone cry.

In her eyes,

emotions were the most useless things in this world.

They only served as a stumbling block for the strong.

But this time,

when she heard Chu Sheng’s words, filled with blame yet also with immense concern,

deep within her heart,

a piece of land that had been frozen for ten thousand years

began to soften...

and melt...

"I... I won’t again."

Gu Yuexi said softly,

her voice carrying a hint of uncharacteristic gentleness.

Hearing Gu Yuexi actually yield,

it was Chu Sheng’s turn to be stunned.

He had been with Gu Yuexi for so long,

and she had never yielded to anyone before.

Not even when facing the most powerful opponents,

not even when in the most desperate of straits.

She always maintained the demeanor of a cold and aloof Empress.

Her word was always law, absolute and final.

This left Chu Sheng, for a moment,

at a loss for how to continue scolding her.

He held it in for a long while,

before finally forcing out,

"Alright, fine. I’ll forgive you this time."

"If you dare do this again, just see how I’ll deal with you."

Chu Sheng said,

carefully holding Gu Yuexi.

He flew to a large, clean boulder nearby

and gently set her down.

Then,

he turned his head

to look at the green-skirted girl, who was just crawling out of the rubble.

In his compound eyes,

a cold killing intent

was practically overflowing.

"You dared to bully my person."

"You!"

"Have already found!"

"Your path to death!"

As Chu Sheng spoke the exact same words Gu Yuexi had used earlier,

his figure,

like an arrow loosed from a bowstring,

shot violently toward the green-skirted girl.
