Chapter 2637: Chapter 2632: Eight Malicious Women (8)
The Divine Body you’re talking about, isn’t it just a subpar entity that’s more like a counterfeit product?
The information that Nepheli continued to bring was indeed shocking, even Fu Qian expressed being a layer more shocked than others.
The previously mentioned Broken Sword is still easy to understand, forged at the cost of an entire Golden Candlestick, and named Three Lacking One.
Moreover, traveling through time and space, and being able to draw it under any circumstances fits perfectly.
Even Su Gao had indeed used that sword, although it wasn’t activated using that dice.
As for the Godslayer, while sailing in the Long Night on the ark, to ease someone’s symptoms, she used the sword Three Lacking One to stab herself.
In summary, it fits well, except that I wasn’t in Mythical Form at the time, but to avoid mishaps during the operation, forcibly raised my Ranking using the Pseudo-Divine Transformation Ring.
In summary, it could be said to demonstrate once again what is absurd yet reasonable, having a tangible counterpart in reality.
And this world’s Nepheli clearly knows a bit too much.
"How could it be—"
At least Yuan Shan, as the chief Night Watchman of the place, seemed unaware of this.
Listening intently all along, she finally couldn’t hold back her astonishment.
As for Wen Li behind her, though silent, her eyes were keenly observant, showing a visibly heightened vigilance.
Of course, a more direct sign was Fu Qian realizing his vocal cords had vanished again.
It was evident that after realizing the situation was spiraling out of control, Wen Li was tightening her control, trying to prevent any unexpected situations.
"It’s precisely because I knew you’d react this way that I suggested Lord Su Gao demonstrate a bit."
Nepheli seemed quite satisfied, as if implying she couldn’t bear to be the only one shocked, glancing at the front seat as she spoke.
But unfortunately, Su Gao, the topic at hand, perfectly maintained her earlier stance.
As long as she wasn’t bothered, nothing said would elicit any reaction, not the slightest emotional response, no intention to reply.
...
"Lord Asao indeed has vast interests, but such a request seemed a bit impolite."
In the end, it was Wen Li who spoke, alleviating the awkwardness a bit, while making a small ethical accusation on the side.
"Indeed..."
And as expected of someone once from a prestigious sect, even though it wasn’t her name being called, Nepheli seemed to realize the impropriety, nodding slightly in self-reflection.
"Mainly, I was just a bit taken aback earlier, not expecting to be trapped here with this one."
But that’s just on the surface, a bit of thought into this reflection leads to endless speculation.
A contender who accomplished the feat of stabbing a Divine Being with a sword, trapped in such a place?
The silence that followed from the air signaled that neither Yuan Shan nor Wen Li thought that possibility likely.
Additionally, the fact that the person involved did not argue is one thing, but don’t forget how they boarded in the first place—
Were you guys traveling? Coincidentally, so was I.
Were you heading to the Sanctuary? Coincidentally, so was I.
Though momentarily intimidated by her aura and didn’t refuse, that reason was ultimately still too brazen.
And this became entirely impossible to ignore when coupled with Nepheli’s commendation.
Would such a terrifying character truly be trapped here?
Did she board just to catch a free ride, or did she have other motives?
Even knowing that Nepheli’s performance carried a hint of sowing discord, this thought was impossible to avoid.
But simultaneously, the problem arose, if there were other motives, how should it be handled?
Not having managed to refuse her boarding previously, shall her sword’s sharpness be tested now?
Tsk tsk, if only everyone had a mobile phone to create a group chat, the scene would definitely be lively.
For a moment, Fu Qian, seemingly ignored, did not feel left out, but rather found this scenario profoundly intriguing—oh?
However, amidst the silence filled with various thoughts, Fu Qian noticed the gaze directed his way.
One can only say it’s fitting that the bound-to-be-bound Hunters, it was Wen Li lost in thought who then turned to look this way.
Ahem...
And facing this form of attention, Fu Qian felt something, tried to clear his throat, and found his vocal cords miraculously restored.
Indeed, no matter what it looks like on the surface, it’s all calculating in silence.
Fu Qian certainly wouldn’t think it was a newfound conscience.
The earlier silence was to prevent complications, and seeing the situation stagnate with unresolved risk, it clearly released him to stir the pot and create movement.
"Could there be another purpose?"
Since this is so, one can’t lose face, gazing back at the attracted glances, Fu Qian nodded slightly and truly spoke out, his words incisive too.
"For instance, injuring the Divine Body just for self-healing?"
...
Do you know what you are saying?
Clearly, the existence of such a special character couldn’t really be ignored, especially a suspected germaphobe like Nepheli.
So the moment Fu Qian spoke, it grabbed attention, and as the phrase ’another purpose’ emerged, the atmosphere reached peak tension.
So much so that it took a moment for everyone to react to the derailment of the topic and how exaggerated the viewpoint was.
Because one was injured and needed treatment, they used a knife to stab a Divine Being?
Who caused this damage?
"After all, from what Xiao Ying said earlier, that sword can devour life."
Yet Fu Qian continued to speak with conviction, unfolding the logic within.
"...Makes sense, it is indeed one possibility."
And the talk of germaphobia seemed to be further acknowledged; even under the overly intimate pseudonym of Xiao Ying, Nepheli still furrowed her brows slightly.
"But saying this seems to underestimate Lord Su Gao more, doesn’t it?"
The train of thought must not be interrupted, and realizing something in the next moment, a sentence rendered the atmosphere even more tense.
"Is that so? Then what is there to worry about?"
Fu Qian timely followed, nodding slightly.
...
It seems to make some sense.
A bit of mental gymnastics involved, Fu Qian’s seemingly obliging words successfully restored silence inside the vehicle.
And realizing his real intention conveyed, the atmosphere seemed to gain a touch of subtlety.
No matter what purpose, or even with ulterior motives, the person is strong enough to use a Superior Being to replenish their health, why are you so concerned?
Instead of cautiously confirming any issues and seizing an opportunity to strike first, why not quietly think about any offenses committed, to avoid being dragged and slaughtered together.
In summary, at that moment, Fu Qian seemed to smell a sense of relief, as the atmosphere relaxed in an unconventional way.
And always quietly sitting Su Gao, seemed to have an unusual aura surrounding her.
"Understood... But it seems that it’s not just Lord Su Gao who is underestimated."
Yet it seemed all the setup was for naught, Lady Nepheli appeared a bit unhappy and her gaze shifted over.
"How should I address you?"
