Chapter 153: Battle

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Anything that could be called a treasure must possess certain extraordinary abilities. If the treasure failed to benefit you, it could only mean that the treasure was not meant for you.

This was what Fang Zhengzhi muttered to himself.

Yan Xiu did not really understand it initially. He had thought that treasures were only differentiated by their power, why would anyone think of suitability?

In actual fact, he did not really approve of it when Fang Zhengzhi hugged and kissed the Hypnotic Eye. Fang Zhengzhi was also screaming that his Enchanting Incense could be retired.

What was the Enchanting Incense?

It was just a very ordinary tool. Just because a treasure could replace it spoke little of its value.

Yan Xiu felt that the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Treasure Hall was extremely precious and one could only bring out one piece of treasure. He felt that Fang Zhengzhi should have taken a powerful manual to study, or a legendary armor. At the very least, Fang Zhengzhi could have chosen a weapon.

Hypnotism?

In a duel, only a fool would stare at the item on your hand for a few seconds.

On the battlefield, it would be a bloodbath and no one would be staring at what was in your hand.

A glance was possible.

But it would be miraculous if anyone stared at it for three seconds or more.

However, now, Yan Xiu was doubting his own judgement. The incredibly experienced and powerful Chi Hou lay on the ground.

That was an undeniable fact.

Chi Hou had stared at the Hypnotic Eye for more than three seconds...

Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was keeping the Hypnotic Eye. Perhaps it may be of some use?

What he did not know was that this Hypnotic Eye would be termed as one of the 10 legendary treasures. Fang Zhengzhi’s innovativeness would fully exploit its power. This showed the world how powerful this thing was.

Fang Zhengzhi kept the Hypnotic Eye cautiously. Then, he glanced at Chi Hou and the surrounding servants, who were all in shock.

"The floor is very cold!" Fang Zhengzhi reminded.

"Hmm?"

"Are you all really going to stand there and watch your master sleep on the ground? I really don’t mind it!" Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand in exasperation.

"Oh gosh!" The servants all screamed. Then, they rushed over to pick Chi Hou up and place him on a chair.

"Master has fallen, call for help!"

"What are you talking about? Master is just asleep. Maybe he’s too tired!" Just as the servants were all screaming, Housekeeper Wen finally showed up.

He looked at the snoring Chi Hou on the chair and then turned to look at the innocent looking Fang Zhengzhi.

He was incredibly shocked and terrified.

Regardless of how Fang Zhengzhi did it, he had knocked Chi Hou down. This fact alone would have his name reverberate throughout the entire empire, even shocking the demons.

It was a pity this would never be made known to the public.

"Young Master Fang, missus told me to invite you over to her place once you exit the Heavenly Treasure Hall. She should be playing her instrument in the pavillion, please follow me!" Housekeeper Wen bowed politely.

"I’m busy, ask her to come look for me if she needs to find me!" Fang Zhengzhi rejected the invite without hesitation

"..."

Housekeeper Wen was stunned for a moment. In the entire North, much less the Divine Constabulary, no one dared to order the missus around.

Just as he was about to retort, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xi were already walking away.

Housekeeper Wen felt a chill down his back, Is he really leaving? Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Zhengzhi halted suddenly and turned around.

Housekeeper Wen smiled.

"Did Master Fang have a change of heart?"

"What change of heart?" Fang Zhengzhi looked on in confusion. Then, he pointed at the "secret weapons" scattered all over the floor. "I would like to request that the ladies help clear up the mess on the floor and return the things to my room. Thank you!"

Then, he turned and left, leaving Housekeeper Wen and the servants standing in the wind, staring wide eyed at his silhouette...

...

Fang Zhengzhi felt that Chi Guyan was unlikely to put her standing aside and come look for him. After all, Chi Guyan’s life story was rather unique.

She was born with a silver spoon, started cultivating at the age of four, solved the Illustration of All Creation at five, entered the Star Conglomerate State at eight, and became the leader in two of the boards at thirteen.

All of these pointed to the fact that she was an incredible talent.

If someone like that was not even a tad arrogant and spoke to the people around her humbly, one would even accuse her of being hypocritical.

But, Chi Guyan came.

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was sunbathing in the courtyard, a figure dressed in pink showed up. Her aura was intimidating, and sent chills down the spines of others.

"I heard that you defeated my Lord Father?" Chi Guyan walked over and sat down opposite Fang Zhengzhi, her posture refined.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that there was a servant who followed Chi Guyan around all the time. Her name was Yue Er. Her absence meant that Chi Guyan had a motive for finding him.

"A small matter that is not worth talking about." Fang Zhengzhi was not one to pass on a beauty and he leaned in to admire Chi Guyan’s beauty.

However, he quickly readjusted his posture. Afterall, Chi Guyan was so refined and he had to ensure that he wasn’t too shabby.

"I never thought that you would be able to hypnotise the Lord Father with the Hypnotic Eye. I am impressed."

"You’re praising me?"

"Yes, it is a compliment."

"I’m sure that your purpose in coming is not just to compliment me?" Fang Zhengzhi picked up a snack with his fingers and gobbled it.

"Of course, I came to tell you that King Duan has already left the Divine Constabulary and is making a mad rush for Yan Capital!" Chi Guyan also picked up a snack, but nibbled on it.

Her actions were incredibly slow, gentle, and refined when compared with those of Fang Zhengzhi’s.

"Who is King Duan?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.

Then, he picked up the plate of snacks and placed it on his side of the table.

"He is the commander of the armies of the empire. Furthermore, he is the commander of the guards of the capital, and is on par in status with the heir to the throne." Chi Guyan raised her hand and a snack flew right into her open palm.

"What has that got to do with me?" Fang Zhengzhi frowned and shifted the snacks towards him even more.

"If my guess is right, he is returning to the capital in an attempt to become the Chief Examiner for the Imperial Examinations."

Chi Guyan no longer sucked up the snacks with her palm. Instead, she gently stood up and walked next to Fang Zhengzhi.

She extended her hand and grabbed a snack.

Fang Zhengzhi winced as he saw Chi Guyan place yet another snack in her mouth. He no longer shifted the snacks around. Instead, he lifted up the entire plate and swallowed all the snacks.

"I still don’t think it has anything to do with me." After licking the plate, Fang Zhengzhi finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he offered the empty plate to Chi Guyan.

"Incredibly shameless!"

Chi Guyan chided as she frowned. Her starry eyes glanced over the areas where the snacks were before. Her fingers moved slightly and a few flashes of light later, the areas licked by Fang Zhengzhi were instantly shed.

As for the clean areas, they morphed into flower shaped snacks.
