System Journey to Godhood

Chapter 69: First Slap



'I must save Snowy!'

"I know what you are thinking. But, it's not necessary."

Rong Hua's word made Feng Xue faltered.

"What do you mean?"

"Just trust her and enjoy the good show~."

Feng Xue took a deep breath and regained her composure. Although Rong Hua's answer did not completely convince her, she decided to believe in her words.

***

Ming Xiong grinned evilly as Snowy triggered his defensive treasure. If his enemy attacked him while the treasure was active, their Qi would immediately be sealed, rendering them powerless.

Since Ming Xiong wanted to make sure that he would successfully capture Snowy, he added another treasure, to be exact, a net-shaped Earth-rank treasure that could even constrict a Golden Core Cultivator.

"I get a big catch!"

Ming Xiong laughed boisterously as his plan proceeded smoothly.

"I know Prince Ming would succeed! That stupid bitch just unknowingly jumped into his trap."

"She gets no chance in the first place. The moment she agrees to Prince Ming's proposal, her fate was already sealed."

"Haha, serves her right! Now we can pay back our humiliation for a thousand-fold!"

"Hmph, she foolishly thought that we were afraid of her. She didn't know that it was just an act to make her lowered her guard."

The Heavenly Blood Sect's disciples shouted merrily as their confidence rose once more after they saw Snowy's fell into their plan.

It's only for a short time, though.

Pah! Pah! Pah!

Their body unknowingly spun in the air as they felt a palm suddenly hitting their cheek.

"Is that so? I'd like to hear more about that."

A voice resounded within their group, sending a chill down their spine that caused their bodies, which had fallen to the ground, to tremble.

!!!

"I-impossible!"

"Y-you… w-what evil technique did you use!"

"Don't come near me!"

Their heart stopped for a moment, and their faces lost their color as they looked at the voice owner liked looking at a ghost.

The woman, who they thought already had been caught inside the net, stood in front of them calmly as if nothing happened.

All the spectators were also bewildered by the appearance of Snowy since they obviously watched her swallowed by the light and tangled by the treasure net.

"Prince Ming… help me…."

They looked at the pitiable figure inside the confinement who was supposed to be Snowy and instantly flabbergasted.

It was a man figure, one of the Heavenly Blood Sect's disciples.

'What the hell happened?!'

Although Ming Xiong didn't know how Snowy escape from his trap, he realized that he still underestimated Snowy greatly and ended up embarrassing himself in public.

Ming Xiong's smug grin disappeared right away, and his face turned red in his shame and anger.

"That's the first slap."

Snowy chuckled lightly as she looked at the fuming Ming Xiong.

Meanwhile, Feng Xue, who guessed what happened, stared at Rong Hua with a befuddled look.

"You… That's one of your spatial techniques, but how?"

"Hehe, that lass had already predicted this turn of an event by the time that despicable man setting up this farce and ask me to help her giving them a lesson. She wanted to beat them at their own game and let them taste another kind of slap."

Feng Xue's eyes widen as she fixed her gaze at Snowy's figure.

'I don't want to make her my enemy,'

That was the first thought that appeared after Feng Xue listened to Rong Hua's explanation.

She once again reminded how cunning Snowy could be when she wanted to crush her enemy.

"I still have two attempts, right? Better to prepare yourself."

"Don't get cocky too soon!"

Thump thump thump!

The earth shook as if an earthquake struck the Blackwood Forest.

The forest, which previously quiet, suddenly turned rowdy as several hundred footsteps charging to their location.

ROARRR!!

A pack of beasts that consisted of at least more than a hundred golden core spirit beasts and several Nascent Soul Stage spirit beasts appeared out of nowhere and quickly encircled the lake.

"W-what happened?! Why are those spirit beasts attack us?"

"It's a beast tide!"

"L-look! There were some nascent soul spirit beasts on the pack!"

"Mommy! Am I going to die today?"

All the cultivators were startled by the fact that a massive group of spirit beasts suddenly besieged them.

Snowy's face turned solemn as she didn't expect that the spirit beasts' disappearance had something to do with Ming Xiong.

"HAHAHA. Has the cat got your tongue? This is my Army of spirit beasts. Even if Feng Family and Heaven Sword Sect are here, they won't be able to protect you!"

It was reasonable that Ming Xiong felt full of confidence.

With the strength of spirit beasts, he could even rival an existence like Three Great Sects and Eight Great Families by himself.

Like any spirit beasts, the nascent soul stage spirit beast, dubbed as spirit beast king by cultivators, was much stronger than an ordinary nascent soul stage cultivator in the same minor stage.

It was easy for Ming Xiong to massacre everyone in here with only a snap of his finger.

With his talent to control spirit beasts, he was like a duck to water when they entered the Blackwood Forest.

This place was like his own backyard with the spirit beasts was like his personal pet.

All the spirit beasts, including spirit beast kings, lowered their heads to Ming Xiong as if they were waiting for his order.

Feng Xue grew restless when she saw many strong spirit beasts in Ming Xiong's arsenal.

She wanted to step forward and help Snowy, but she restrained herself as Snowy still not asking for their help.

She learned one thing about Snowy when they were together: she wasn't the type to do something if she wasn't certain of the outcome.

She wouldn't fight a losing battle.

And also, she wasn't the type of person who shied away from asking other people to help her if needed.

This meant that she already had a fool-proof method to face whatever Ming Xiong threw at her and turned around the situation.

So, Feng Xue could only grit her teeth, sometimes bit her lips, and put her belief in Snowy.
