Chapter 1108: Cannot Provoke

Blue Sea had a regrettable expression. “Since this is my first time meeting with Sir Cloud Billow, I would truly love to have a long conversation with you deep into the night, but you have other matters to attend to.”

He suddenly clapped his hands and said, “I have a proposition I would like to suggest. If the Clan Elder’s matter is not a secret, how about inviting him to the City Lord Mansion for a meeting? Since everyone is gathered here today, this will be a great opportunity.”

Opportunity? What opportunity? Of course it was for Adversity Peak City to publicly state their stance!

Blue Sea’s current meaning was that the old King’s lineage needed to put forth sufficient sincerity. It would only be considered enough if both the Clan Elder and Cloud Billow were here.

Cloud Billow was surprised again. She thought that things were proceeding far too smoothly. The old King’s lineage hadn’t had much contact with this newly risen Adversity Peak City Lord.

But in this situation, as long as Blue Sea expressed his stance he could no longer go back on his word…this was a chance she couldn’t miss out on.

What should she do?

Should she really ask the Clan Elder to come?

Her current condition was still stable. Although the strength within her was still restless, it was gradually calming down after she suppressed it.

Perhaps she really had been overthinking things. While she had no idea why the scent she smelled before was able to quicken the strength within her body, at least now it didn’t seem harmful to her.

As long as the Clan Elder came, her safety would be even less of a question. Moreover…Cloud Billow turned her head, subconsciously glanced at Qin Yu who was hiding in the shadows. That fellow was still here.

While she hadn’t known Qin Yu for long, for some unknown reason her heart was stable when she was with him.

Would he protect me?

Cloud Billow took a deep breath and suppressed her hesitation. The opportunity was right in front of her. As long as it was for the family, even if there were some risks she would take it.

“Since City Lord is so sincere, I…” As she spoke to here her voice came to a grinding stop. Her face flushed red and panic flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, the strength within her body became like a volcano that had awakened from a deep sleep and was finally erupting. It crazily attacked her suppression, causing her aura to wildly fluctuate.

Blue Sea’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, but he actually showed concern on his face. “Sir Cloud Billow, what is it?”

As he spoke he moved forward as if to support her. The changing emotions on his face were perfect. Anybody that saw him would think that the City Lord was worried about Cloud Billow’s condition and wished to help him.

“City Lord, please stop!” The other demons from Bluetile Courtyard who had followed Cloud Billow to the banquet immediately moved in front of her.

Although they had no idea what was going on right now, in such a situation they couldn’t allow anyone to easily approach Cloud Billow.

Cloud Billow clenched her teeth and gritted out, “I’m fine. It’s just a remnant wound from the attack at Nine Nether Pagoda…I will bid my farewells here first…”

She turned to leave.

Blue Sea frowned. “Sir Cloud Billow is my honored guest. If an accident happens at the banquet, that is the responsibility of the City Lord! I don’t think this is an outbreak of an old wound, but rather the effects of an extremely terrifying demon poison!” As he spoke a cold chill percolated in his eyes as he swept over the demons from Bluetile Courtyard. “You fools, hurry and draw back! If treatment is delayed, no one can bear this responsibility!”

As he spoke he flicked his sleeves, sending several people flying away. He raised a hand and grasped forward.

Cloud Billow’s lips moved. But before she could speak, an invisible strength imprisoned her. As she looked at Blue Sea who grabbed her, despair rose in her heart.

Everything that happened today was a trap aimed at her. Blue Sea’s performance had indeed confused and entranced her. In fact, even all the people in the hall firmly believed that Blue Sea would stand behind the old King’s lineage after what he said.

But what if something happened to the old King’s lineage? Or to be exact, once her true status was exposed, everything that Blue Sea said before could be taken back.

After all, how could a mere woman have the qualifications to obtain the support of Adversity Peak City? They would even borrow this incident to launch an even more violent attack against the old King’s lineage.

Qin Yu…Qin Yu is still beside me. He will protect me…Qin Yu, save me…hurry and save me…

As if hearing Cloud Billow’s mournful pleas, Qin Yu suddenly stepped forward and left the shadows.

Blue Sea had already noticed him standing in the shadows. Right now, while he furrowed his eyebrows, he didn’t pause in his actions.

Bang –

In the next moment, a low and deep explosion erupted in the hall. Shockwaves of turbulent strength shot out, causing the blue stone floor to break apart.

Blue Sea took a step back, his feet sinking into the ground. He put his shivering palm behind him. Even though his eyes were full of shock, he still coldly said, “Who are you? Could it be that you are the one who poisoned Sir Cloud Billow!?”

The floor around Qin Yu had cracked and shattered. Without glancing at Blue Sea, he reached out and grabbed Cloud Billow.

Sure enough, the strength in this woman’s body had spun out of control. It was even more violent than that day at Nine Nether Pagoda.

This stupid woman, she had actually fallen for such a simple plot. If he weren’t here today…hoho, the old King’s lineage really would have been in for a bad day.

Not to mention that the next step in Qin Yu’s plan required the cooperation of the old King’s lineage, just the strange and inexplicable connection between them made it so that Qin Yu couldn’t simply stare on helplessly as Cloud Billow fell into a trap.

Standing to the side and watching was simple, but if he wasn’t careful he would be caught by his own indifference!

With a thought, strength shot into Cloud Billow’s body. The wild strength within her immediately calmed down. But, the fragrance that Cloud Billow inhaled was clearly targeted at her. Even though Qin Yu was helping her, he couldn’t fully suppress it.

But at the very least, Cloud Billow’s situation was now much better than before. She let out a breath and glanced at Qin Yu. Then she said, “City Lord Blue Sea does not need to worry. Sir Qin Yu is my good friend and I am the one who invited him to participate in this banquet today.” She paused for a moment before continuing to say, “As for being poisoned, City Lord worries too much. It is just the outbreak of an old wound.”

Qin Yu looked at her. This woman was sometimes stupid, but sometimes she could be smart too.

As long as she didn’t reveal anything, then even if Blue Sea’s statement today was a lie, it would have to become a truth…even if he planned to go back on his word, there were all sorts of worries he would have to keep in mind.

Blue Sea nodded. “So that’s how it is. That is actually…”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yu suddenly kicked out a foot. With a loud crash, the prone Spring Breeze 13th Madame was flung far away. She crashed into a wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This caused many people to widen their eyes. Who was this boy? He was actually so insolent!

Interrupting Blue Sea was one matter. Another was that even though he knew this woman was Blue Wave’s, he still dared to use such a heavy hand.

Moreover, the key issue was that this woman hadn’t done anything at all before she suffered such a powerful kick. For some reason it felt as if it was a slap to the face.

But whose face was he slapping?

Blue Wave had definitely been slapped. As for Blue Sea, who was standing in front and was about to speak? His cheeks also loudly rang.

To be slapped in public was an uncomfortable matter, much less when it involved the noble Adversity Peak City Lord.

But even though Blue Sea was angry, his eyes flashed with joy. What he feared now was that Cloud Billow would insist on leaving.

If she did, the plan would outright fail and he would be in considerable trouble…but as long as he managed to keep her here, she definitely would not be able to last much longer…

So in his opinion, Qin Yu’s kick was wonderfully done! But no matter how wonderful it was, he wouldn’t let things end here!

Blue Sea glanced at Blue Wave. At this time, it was best if he walked up. It would be even better if he came into conflict with Qin Yu, then he would have a reason to interfere.

As long as there was a dispute, Cloud Billow and these other people could give up any thought of leaving.

As for Cloud Boundless…he wasn’t too worried. The plan had already started and that old man would be entangled enough that he wouldn’t be able to arrive so quickly.

Mm?

What is that brat Blue Wave doing? Why is he lowering his head? Hurry up and speak!

However, Blue Sea could feel fear and panic rolling off his body. His eyes darkened. He didn’t have time to figure out what the reason was. He looked ahead and said, “Your Excellency Qin Yu, how courageous and powerful you must be to harm someone in my City Lord Mansion!”

No matter what, he could not allow them to leave. Since Blue Wave wasn’t going to do something, he could only go into battle himself. While it seemed a bit deliberate, he couldn’t care about it anymore.

Cloud Billow pursed her lips. She knew that Qin Yu had already discovered that the fragrance which affected her was coming from that woman’s body.

In other words, he really knew everything…and he even knew before he helped? As she realized this, even though the situation wasn’t right, shame and anger still flashed in her eyes.

Could it be that on the day when she mentioned marriage, Qin Yu already knew everything? That meant he had been watching a play all this time!

And even though Qin Yu knew she was speaking about herself, he still chose to refuse her…this hateful man!

Qin Yu had no idea that Cloud Billow was roaring at him in her heart. He looked at Blue Sea and lightly said, “This woman is named Spring Breeze 13th Madame. She once attacked me, so I am already showing face by kicking her and not killing her…if City Lord doesn’t believe me, you can ask her yourself.”

As he spoke he looked at Spring Breeze 13th Madame. His faint smile emanated a freezing chill.

The woman stiffened. She wiped the blood from her lips, looked up at Blue Sea, and hurriedly nodded.

Although she knew that this response absolutely wasn’t what Blue Sea hoped to see, she was even more afraid that Qin Yu would expose her relationship with the red-eye demon clan.

If that happened, she would truly die without a grave!

Blue Sea’s eyes darkened. He looked at Blue Wave and said, “So there’s something like this. I hadn’t heard of this before…Blue Wave, you met 13th Madame on the road here to Adversity Peak City. In other words, you also know Qin Yu?”

“Yes…big brother…” Blue Wave stammered out. He looked at Qin Yu and subconsciously glanced around.

When he didn’t see Feature and the others, his heart relaxed. But, he still felt bitter. These bastards had chased him all the way to Adversity Peak City. What did they plan on doing?

When it came to Feature and Qin Yu’s statuses, he believed that they came from the most ancient and formidable royal families of the abyss.

Although the Nightmare Clan was said to be in the top ten rankings of abyssal royal families, this was only an indication of their reputation.

A real ranking did not exist in the abyss. There were some abyssal royal families that had existed for endless years, and while they might not have resounding names, they were the ones that truly stood at the peak of the abyss.

For instance, the royal family that Feature and Qin Yu came from. They were definitely no weaker than the Nightmare Clan. In other words, even if both sides tore apart all pretense of face, even if his big brother was the Adversity Peak City Lord he still wouldn’t be able to shoulder the consequences. He would even provoke great trouble for himself.

And Blue Wave…Qin Yu held his weakness…that was his deal with the red-eye demon clan leader. When the red-eye demon clan leader learned about Blue Sea, he was actually willing to let him go…

This was a bomb!

Once it blew up, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Blue Wave’s thoughts raced and his complexion paled. A cold sweat started to stream down his body.

Qin Yu smiled and said, “Sir Blue Wave is very hospitable. We once traveled together, but he left in a hurry. I didn’t expect to see him here today.”

Blue Wave squeezed out a smile. “To see Sir Qin Yu again is my honor.”

“It doesn’t matter if there is honor or not. But I kicked your beloved woman today. Is that okay?”

“No, no…this cheap whore was the one seeking death. Sir Qin Yu only giving a kick was already the greatest show of mercy!”

Qin Yu nodded, “Since that’s the case, we will be leaving first.” He supported Cloud Billow and turned to leave. The several demons from Bluetile Courtyard that had been flung away rushed over and followed on their heels.

In the hall, the numerous guests widened their eyes. Who was this Qin Yu and where did he come from? He clearly had a deep background!

Otherwise, how could he shock and deter Blue Wave so badly that he didn’t dare to say much?

Blue Sea drew in a deep breath. He looked at Blue Wave. He had a good understanding of his little brother and had understood his glance just now…who was this Qin Yu?

The plan had failed and disappointment was certain. But for Blue Sea to have his current status, how could he not know how to hide his emotions?

He took a deep breath, suppressing his mood and smiling once again. “I was the one who didn’t prepare today’s banquet well enough and caused you all to laugh. Sir Cloud Billow doesn’t feel well so he will leave ahead of time. I must apologize for that.”

As he spoke he clapped his hands.

The banquet officially began.

After dealing with some matters in the banquet hall, when Blue Sea walked out his smile immediately vanished. He asked in a somber tone, “What was that?”

Blue Wave put on a long face, “Big brother, you cannot provoke that Qin Yu!”
