Chapter 657: Chapter 360: Frenzied Unboxing, Fortune Turns
Their eyes met, and Prince Mei’s pupils contracted.
She never dreamed that Chu Qing would come back.
However, Chu Qing’s gaze remained calm as he softly spoke:
"Five hours."
"?"
A trace of confusion flickered in Prince Mei’s eyes.
But in the next moment, she understood—it was the time she lost her Martial Arts!
So... even this person doesn’t know how long this move can make him forget his Martial Arts!?
But the next moment, Prince Mei laughed.
This was insignificant; what did it matter if it was known or not?
She sighed:
"What a pity, I thought there would be a chance to go to Wushan with you."
Chu Qing looked at her and suddenly asked:
"You remember everything now?"
"...Guess."
As soon as Prince Mei finished uttering these three words, there was a sudden thump in her chest, a mist of blood exploded.
Amidst Chu Qing’s bewildered gaze, her form collapsed to the ground.
Chu Qing pushed open the cell door and stepped into the chamber, watching as the woman’s once-dense Inner Strength dissipated into strands of fierce wind.
This was the state of a person’s power scattering upon death, so he immediately turned his sleeve to suppress it.
Given the depth of Inner Strength Prince Mei possessed, if not suppressed, her power’s dispersal would have been immense.
Who knew what kind of mess that might have caused.
It took almost the time to drink a cup of tea before the energy finally dispersed, and Prince Mei was completely dead.
Chu Qing sighed, feeling that he had been somewhat hasty.
He considered that with Prince Mei’s cultivation, she might break through the limits of the Supreme Wisdom Art and regain her memory.
He also thought that once she regained her memory, she would definitely try to escape from here.
What he didn’t anticipate was that after his appearance, she would decisively end her own life.
Thinking about it now, it was normal for her to take such a desperate path.
After all, even at her peak, she was no match for him, and now that her tendons had been cut, and... judging by her final actions, she probably hadn’t fully regained all her memories, lacking both internal and external proficiency, making her even less of a match.
Rather than being completely overpowered, her Martial Arts abolished, and becoming a complete prisoner.
It was better to choose death outright.
"But as one of the Twelve Saint Kings, to be so reckless with her life..."
Chu Qing clicked his tongue, glanced again at the tall woman, and with a flick of his sleeve, a sharp gust severed her head.
Though her death was indeed grandiose, with the Celestial Evil Cult’s sinister tricks, who could say if this was genuine or a ruse?
If dead, she should remain thoroughly dead, to ensure a genuine end. There’s no need for a situation where after a solemn farewell, she resurfaces to stir chaos, which would be ridiculous.
After waiting a while, seeing no sign of the head reattaching itself, Chu Qing stood up and left the prison cell.
He ordered the disciples of Celestial Sound Mansion to dispose of the body.
It was already late at night, and he did not immediately seek out Han Qiujun to inquire about the whereabouts of the Golden Vase.
He went straight back to his room, sat down on the bed.
With a thought, he directly opened the system interface.
The Blood Sea Record was almost complete, only Han Qiujun remained.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations have a set of seven, leaving him with another twenty-one selectable Treasure Chests.
Perhaps due to their multitude, there were even duplicates among the selectable chests.
Chu Qing pondered for a while and chose three from the twenty-one selectable Treasure Chests.
They were: the Inner Power Treasure Chest, the Exotic Studies Treasure Chest, and a Sword Treasure Chest.
The other Treasure Chests weren’t particularly necessary to choose from.
Moreover, out of the twenty-one selectable Treasure Chests, there was only one Inner Power Treasure Chest.
This left Chu Qing somewhat speechless.
Among the unranked three Treasure Chests, were a Fist Treasure Chest, a Saber Treasure Chest, and a Leg Treasure Chest.
Chu Qing thought it over and ultimately chose the Leg Treasure Chest.
It’s worth mentioning that Li Shengxing not only provided a selectable Treasure Chest but also offered a Random Martial Arts Treasure Chest.
Achieving the double-yolked egg feat, he wondered if this counted as taking advantage of the system.
As such, Chu Qing currently had five selectable Treasure Chests on him.
They were the Inner Power Treasure Chest, Exotic Studies Treasure Chest, Sound Treasure Chest, Sword Treasure Chest, and a Leg Treasure Chest.
There were four Random Martial Arts Treasure Chests.
These came respectively from Han Qiuzhe, Han Qiuyu, Han Qiushuang... and Li Shengxing.
Chu Qing counted them, totaling nine Treasure Chests, and decided to spare some time tomorrow to press Han Qiujun for the Golden Vase’s whereabouts, then finish him off for the Secret Skill Treasure Chest, achieving his perfect ten draws.
"Should I wait a bit longer?"
Chu Qing glanced up at the sky; either way, it was just a matter of waiting one night...
As the saying goes, patience is key in matters of great importance, haste makes waste, working hard only to fail at the last step...
"Damn these sayings!"
Chu Qing exhaled with frustration:
"This system doesn’t actually have a ten draw feature; even when gathered, they need to be opened one by one. Since that’s the case, why wait any longer!
"Open!!"
His first target was, of course, the Inner Power Treasure Chest.
Given its rarity...
However, after hesitating for a moment, he chose not to open it but instead looked at the Sword Treasure Chest.
"Let’s start by testing my luck with the Sword Treasure Chest."
Suddenly, Chu Qing felt that he had never been so extravagant in his life.
After the system’s routine inquiry, Chu Qing chose ’open’.
