Chapter 156 - Fiend Sects
Su Zimo followed Gu Xi and the girl in pink up a jade green staircase to the area where the most spacious rooms were!
“Follow me in,” Gu Xi looked at Su Zimo and said before entering a room.
Maidservants stood on both sides and bowed slightly with a smile. They looked at Su Zimo with respect and envy.
In the room, there was a row of seats and a table displaying various alluring fruits that emanated spirit qi.
“Sit anywhere you want.”
The girl in pink told Su Zimo and pointed at the table of fruits. “Even Golden Cores downstairs are not able to eat these.”
Su Zimo did not reply and merely nodded his head, remaining somewhat cautious.
He had realized early on that the Sky Treasure Gold Badge was the reason why their attitudes towards him were so strange.
“Who would believe that?”
The girl in pink pouted her lips and teased, “Someone the likes of the third princess would give that badge to an ordinary friend?”
Su Zimo did not reply.
“Hey, Su Zimo. How about doing me a favor?” The girl in pink suddenly said as she rolled her eyes.
Su Zimo asked, “What?”
“Help me beat up bad guys!” The girl in pink raised her fists and said solemnly, “Yes… they are all evil devils. As a disciple of Ethereal Peak, you should take up the responsibility of protecting the way of the Dao by getting rid of the demons.”
“Nopes,” Su Zimo shook his head.
He did not care what sort of bad guys those were – he merely wanted to keep his distance from this girl.
Beside her, Gu Xi suddenly frowned. Releasing her spirit consciousness, she set up a barrier between her and the girl in pink. “What nonsense is this? Don’t tell me you want this lad to accompany you to that?”
“Yes.”
The girl in pink replied nonchalantly.
“Don’t go.”
Gu Xi persuaded, “I can’t help you there. The fiend heirs of this generation’s fiend sects are not kind souls. If you piss them off, they might really kill you!”
“Tsk.”
The girl in pink replied disdainfully, “fiend heirs? So what! I’m a fiend heir too! Who’s afraid of whom? If they piss me off, I’ll kill them too! Besides, can’t you see I’m getting a helper along?”
With that, the girl in pink looked at Su Zimo.
“Him?” Gu Xi shook her head and did not continue to speak. However, her tone was clearly filled with disdain.
The girl in pink smiled brightly. “I heard from my sister that this Su Zimo is rather decent in melee combat.”
“That’s useless.”
Gu Xi shook her head. “This generation’s geniuses in the fiend sects are too strong. Putting aside the successor of Overlord Palace, this Su Zimo is nothing compared to the other fiend heirs as well. If he goes there, he’ll just be committing suicide. Your sister has a close relationship with him. If he were to die because of you, she’s definitely going to blame you.”
“Hmph, if he were to die, it’ll be just nice to let everything end completely.”
The girl in pink sneered, “At least, my sister won’t have to worry about this person from time to time. She even argued with our father a couple of times over this guy. In my opinion, this Su Zimo is nothing much. He looks extremely ordinary. I don’t even know what my sister sees in him.”
“Are you decided?” Gu Xi asked.
The girl in pink nodded. However, she rolled her eyes and frowned. “But, if he doesn’t want to go, I can’t hold a knife to his throat and force him to go.”
“There’s always a way,” Gu Xi said mysteriously.
