794 King of Ten Thousand Gu
Initially, she only planned to buy one, but since it was the Saintess, she would buy them all.
“This, this, this…” The shop assistant was dumbfounded. “This requires a lot of gold…”
Yu Wan raised her chin and threw a money bag to the shop assistant.
The shop assistant opened it and gasped.
!!
Yu Wan said indifferently, “Are these enough to buy?”
“It’s enough, but…” The shop assistant looked at the Holy Envoy in a dilemma. Did this Madam hear him clearly? The other party was from the Lan family. How could she dare to snatch something from the Lan family? Even if she dared, he didn’t have the guts, okay?
The shop assistant was not helping Yu Wan. He purely did not want Yu Wan to drag him into the quagmire. He whispered again, “These Gu Kings are all bought for the Saintess.”
“What? Not enough money?” Yu Wan looked like she had heard a joke and threw him another money bag.
This time, the shop assistant was sure that the other party was deliberately embarrassing the Saintess. In this day and age, was there anyone who did not take the Lan family’s Saintess seriously? Was she crazy?
The shop assistant did not dare to accept it and wanted to stuff the money bag back into Yu Wan’s hand.
Yu Wan glanced at him and said, “Do you still want your shop? Go ahead and return it to me if you dare.”
The shop assistant : “…”
The shop assistant didn’t know whether to return it or not.
The Holy Envoy originally did not take a nameless person seriously, but even after hearing about her identity, she still had the guts to snatch things from him. This made the Holy Envoy involuntarily take another look at her.
Then, a trace of amazement flashed across the Holy Envoy’s eyes.
In the Nether Capital, the most beautiful woman was the Saintess. She had the appearance of a celestial being and was like an otherworldly fairy. However, although the woman in front of her was a little plump, her appearance and temperament were not inferior to the Saintess.
Besides… for some reason, the Holy Envoy actually felt that she had seen her somewhere before.
Sensing the Holy Envoy’s gaze, Yu Wan looked at her indifferently and smiled. “First come, first served. I said earlier that I want all the Thousand Gu Kings in this shop. The Holy Envoy shouldn’t bully the people of the Nether Capital, right?”
The Holy Envoy said coldly, “Are you from the Nether Capital? Where’s the waist token?”
“My waist token?” Yu Wan was stunned. Her eyes flashed as she opened her folding fan and said, “I forgot it when I went out.”
“Is that so?” The Holy Envoy looked at Yu Wan without blinking.
Yu Wan covered her face with her folding fan and coughed lightly. “Anyway… I took a fancy to it first! He agreed to sell it all to me, so he can’t break his promise to me! Give it to me!”
Yu Wan reached out to take the Gu worm that her little Gu was coveting, but just as she was about to touch it, a powerful internal force hit her.
Yu Wan was not a martial arts practitioner. If this internal force hit her, she would definitely die with the child in her stomach. From this, it could be seen how ruthless this Saintess’s trusted aide was.
As the saying goes, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. That Saintess could not be any noble.
Yu Wan turned her body to dodge, but the Holy Envoy activated her internal energy and firmly suppressed Yu Wan on the spot. Just as she was about to be hit by the Holy Envoy’s internal energy, a figure suddenly flashed in and blocked in front of Yu Wan. He slapped the Holy Envoy to the wall!
A hole was created in the wall, and the Holy Envoy was drowned in a pile of ruins.
Yu Wan stuck her little head out from behind Asura and looked at the ruins. Asura’s palm was not light. The Holy Envoy was seriously injured. After crawling out of the ruins, she vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.
“What? She’s not dead?” Asura’s current strength was more than ten times stronger than in Nanzhao. This Holy Envoy was actually still alive after being slapped by him.
The Holy Envoy’s clothes were torn, revealing a piece of silver soft armor.
“What’s that?” Yu Wan muttered.
The shop assistant whispered, “You don’t even know this? That’s the Ice Silkworm Soft Armor that the Sikong Clan gave to the Saintess. Only the Saintess and the Lan family are qualified to wear it. This soft armor is invulnerable to swords and spears, fire and water, and can withstand the fatal blow of Asura… Speaking of which, who is this person? Why is the Holy Envoy…”
Before the shop assistant could finish speaking, a woman’s shout came from outside the door. “Who’s impudent here?”
The light in the Holy Envoy’s eyes gathered again. She looked in the direction of the door and called out, “Master!”
Master? The illegitimate daughter of the Lan family who had seduced her brother-in-law? What did Grand-aunt say her name was?
Yu Wan muttered thoughtfully, “Lan… Lan Jiao?”
“Is Master’s name something you can call?” The woman’s stern voice appeared again, followed by a loud slap.
This slap did not land on Yu Wan’s face. Instead, Asura stopped her in time. However, Yu Wan quickly realized that there was a black aura in Asura’s palm.
“This is…” Yu Wan frowned. She released the little Gu and sucked away the black aura in Asura’s palm.
This black aura was poisonous! Bullsh*t famous families actually used such dirty methods. Even an expert like Asura was poisoned. If it were anyone else, they would probably die from the poison in the blink of an eye.
The woman strode in.
Yu Wan retracted the little Gu in time and looked at the Lan family’s head that the Holy Envoy had mentioned.
Lan Jiao was the illegitimate sister of Lan Yi and Madam Lan. She should be about the same age as Madam Jiang and looked very young. She was also very beautiful. Of course, in Yu Wan’s heart, no one could be more beautiful than her Mom.
She was so young, and that Saintess was probably not old either. She was probably about the same age as her.
Yu Wan sized up Lan Jiao. After all, she was the head of the family and her bearing was extraordinary. Unfortunately, her eyes were on her head and she looked arrogant.
It was not strange when she thought about it. Her daughter was the Saintess, and she had squeezed out her legitimate sister to be the head of the Lan family. Other than the Sikong Clan, her status was the best in the entire Nether Capital.
“Pfft ~” Yu Wan rolled her eyes and waved her fan. What did it mean by not losing in front of others? This was it. If the other party did not look at her directly, she naturally would not stick her warm face to the other party’s cold butt.
Lan Jiao was very ostentatious. There were a hundred guards beside her. She pointed at two people to help the Holy Envoy up. Then, she heard this casual snort. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar woman who actually dared to put on airs in front of the Lan family.
Yu Wan covered half of her face with her folding fan.
Lan Jiao asked arrogantly, “Who are you?”
Yu Wan snorted and said, “Do I have to answer when you ask?”
The Holy Envoy gritted her teeth and complained, “Master! They snatched the Saintess’s things and injured me!”
Lan Jiao looked at Yu Wan without blinking. “How dare you!”
Yu Wan smiled. “In terms of courage, I’m not as brave as Master Lan. I only snatched a few insects, unlike you who even snatched someone’s husband.”
Everyone in the Nether Capital knew about the matter between Lan Jiao and her brother-in-law. What the Lan family minded the most was that someone criticized this matter. Anyone who was caught gossiping had been ruthlessly dealt with by her. This girl did not know what was good for her and actually mocked her!
A trace of extremely strong killing intent flashed across Lan Jiao’s eyes. She raised her hand and gestured. A black-robed man that Yu Wan did not notice at all stepped forward and punched Yu Wan.
Asura grabbed the other party’s fist, but almost at the same time, the other party freed his other hand and a silver light flashed in his palm.
“Be careful!” Yu Wan shouted.
Asura avoided the silver needles and released his aura. However, in less than an instant, he was suppressed by the black-robed man’s internal pressure.
Yu Wan’s expression changed slightly. “Asura-Asura King?”
Lan Jiao sneered. “That’s right, it’s the Asura King. The Asura King beside you has just broken through, right? You dare to come out and show off when your strength is still unstable. What kind of place do you think the Nether Capital is? Do you really think you thieves can barge in?”
The black-robed man’s realm was above Asura.
Asura spat out a mouthful of blood. However, Lan Jiao was even more surprised than Yu Wan. Lan Jiao’s original intention was to teach Yu Wan a lesson. Even though this Asura’s realm was inferior to her subordinate, he took all his attacks. Even her subordinate could not spare the time to teach that little girl a lesson.
Fortunately, she did not bring only one subordinate.
Lan Jiao smiled and said, “Little girl, if you kneel down and kowtow to me, I’ll let you go.”
Yu Wan said, “In your dreams!”
Lan Jiao sneered. “It seems like you want to do this the hard way. Fine, as you wish, I’ll let you know the consequences of offending the Lan family. The few of you, go and capture her.”
“Yes!” A few guards swarmed up.
A white light flashed from Yu Wan’s body and pierced through the guard’s heart. Before they could react, they fell to the ground one after another.
The Holy Envoy’s expression changed. “Master, this is…”
Lan Jiao narrowed her phoenix eyes. “The King of Ten Thousand Gu.”
If it was an adult Gu King, Lan Jiao would not dare to touch it. However, this was still a young Gu—
Lan Jiao reached out and put on a pair of silver gloves. The corners of her lips curled up as she grabbed the little Gu into her palm.
