Chapter 421: Chapter 451, Awesome Breakthrough

Hua Huiyue seemed to sense something and turned around; Fang Yi, in a split second, also averted his gaze and then forced out a big, laughing face.

"It’s funny?" Hua Huiyue asked.

Fang Yi quickly shook his head.

Hua Huiyue said, "Not funny, then why are you still laughing?"

Fang Yi was a bit annoyed and said, "My face is mine, and I’ll laugh if I want to."

Hua Huiyue said, "Indeed, in that case, do as you please. Do you know why I’ve called you here?"

Fang Yi shook his head, his face blank, indicating he didn’t know.

It certainly wouldn’t be anything good.

Although this was his first contact with Hua Huiyue, Fang Yi already had some understanding of her in his heart.

Hua Huiyue, Sect Leader of the Sky Sword Sect—becoming the Sect Leader as a woman was like Wu Zetian in the shining civilization of the Tang Dynasty; without some iron-blooded tactics, it was absolutely impossible to secure her position.

And previously, Hua Huiyue had forcefully married Bai Jingjing to Zhou Hao, which showed just how cold-hearted she could be. Such a woman was purely driven by profit.

To deal with her, one must be careful, very careful, or else you really might end up being swallowed without even your bones left.

So Fang Yi played the fool, trying to appear as low-key as possible.

Seeing the blank look on Fang Yi’s face, Hua Huiyue’s sexy lips parted slightly as she said, "There’s no need for you to play dumb in front of me. I didn’t call you here to harm you, I just want to see if you have anything worth my investment."

"Investment?" Fang Yi was even more bewildered. He was genuinely confused.

"Let’s not discuss this for now. Tell me, what reason do you have for me to let you go? Don’t mention missiles; I know you’re afraid of dying, and I can assure you that before any missile strikes, I’ll have already killed you."

Hua Huiyue declared, her tone filled with strong confidence.

Hua Huiyue’s power was deep and unfathomable, something Fang Yi understood very clearly. While he might have been able to fool Yang Chengji earlier, Hua Huiyue was very astute, and he couldn’t deceive her, which made him even more cautious around her.

Fang Yi took a step back, turned around, and sat down on a stone bench beside the stone table in the garden, cross-legged, and lit a cigarette, looking quite calm and collected.

This was a negotiation. Since playing dumb didn’t work, he had to become inscrutable, keeping his thoughts hidden from the other party in order to gain the upper hand.

Fang Yi exhaled a plume of smoke and said, "Auntie Hua, well, there are plenty of reasons. You had your daughter Bai Jingjing marry Zhou Hao, simply because you saw his huge potential. But now, having been defeated by me, his potential and future prospects have come to an end. Am I right?"

Hua Huiyue stated coldly, "Correct."

The first step had been successfully taken; the rest would be much easier.

Fang Yi, unfettered, declared loudly, "By defeating Zhou Hao, this proves that he is inferior to me. My potential is even greater, and my future brighter!"

However, Hua Huiyue merely shook her head, her tone icy, "That’s still not enough."

Fang Yi said, "I will become very rich, extremely rich."

A slight thaw appeared in Hua Huiyue’s icy expression, but it was just a trace, with a hint of a smile on her lips as she said, "Money is omnipotent, but we, the Sky Sword Sect, have higher pursuits. Money, the Sky Sword Sect lacks, but not desperately."

Fang Yi was a bit baffled and said, "Auntie Hua, let’s cut to the chase, alright? Stop beating around the bush. Just lay it out straight so I can follow along. This back-and-forth between us, don’t you find it tiring?"

Hua Huiyue was startled for a moment, then said, "Young man, you need to have a bit of patience."

I have patience, but the way you speak is too unnerving, isn’t it?

Fang Yi simply clammed up; seeing him fall silent, Hua Huiyue said, "Fine, I won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. If you want to win my daughter, it couldn’t be simpler. Advance to Heavenly Level within ten years and lead our Sky Sword Sect to become the number one sect in the Martial Arts world, and that will suffice."

Fang Yi said, "I couldn’t tell, Auntie Hua. You have quite the ambition."

Hua Huiyue ignored Fang Yi’s sarcastic remark and said indifferently, "Do you agree or not? If you don’t, don’t even think about leaving Sky Sword Mountain. If I must be straightforward, I, Hua Huiyue, am confident I can achieve it."

Damn, this woman really has a heart of steel, her methods cold-blooded.

Initially, Fang Yi was in a proactive state, occupying the high ground, but in the blink of an eye, the tables were turned, allowing Hua Huiyue to take the dominant position.

Fang Yi looked at the Hua Huiyue in front of him, an older woman not yet past her prime, but like a venomous scorpion, her bite left one powerless to retaliate. It was indeed terrifying that she could hold the position of Sect Leader of the Sky Sword Sect.

Regardless, he would agree to her terms first, then stall for time. Fang Yi didn’t really believe that he couldn’t outwit this mature woman.

Fang Yi hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said forcefully, "Fine!"

Hua Huiyue’s gaze was complex as she suddenly slid her hand into her neckline, unabashed in Fang Yi’s presence.

She took out a triangular silk pouch.

Then, Hua Huiyue tossed the pouch over.

Fang Yi caught it and couldn’t help sniffing it. Damn, it truly smelled good.

Hua Huiyue, seeing Fang Yi so engrossed, cleared her throat softly. Fang Yi immediately snapped to attention and asked, "What is this?"

Hua Huiyue said, "Inside is a Jade Heart Pill that I personally concocted. Take it, and every so often, I will come to give you a bit of the antidote, which can continue for ten years."

Fang Yi made an "Oh" sound, then immediately asked, "What are the consequences of this Jade Heart Pill?"

Hua Huiyue said, "Once ingested, the pill will bind to your heart. If you don’t take the antidote within a certain period, your heart will feel scratched by claws, and it will also make you feel like you’re being burnt alive, suffering immensely..."

Damn, that’s even more savage than my Heart Shattering Pill; this woman is really ruthless!

Fang Yi cursed inwardly and asked, "Is there a way not to take it?"

Hua Huiyue coldly countered, "What do you think?"

Damn your ancestors for eighteen generations!

Fang Yi cursed in his heart, then opened his mouth and threw the Jade Heart Pill into his mouth, followed by swallowing it to prove he had taken it, even making a face at Hua Huiyue as if he was making a grimace.

Hua Huiyue said, "That’s enough, I saw it, now close your mouth."

Fang Yi obediently closed his mouth.

Hua Huiyue said, "From now on, you will be our Sky Sword Sect’s spokesperson in the Mortal World. Remember, from this day on, you take orders directly from me. This is the Sky Sword Order. It contains the strongest swordsmanship of our Sky Sword Sect, which you are also allowed to learn."

As she spoke, Hua Huiyue took out a token from her sleeve and tossed it to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi caught it and glanced at it casually. Great, now he was not only the spokesperson of the Desire Sect in the Mortal World but also of the Sky Sword Sect. With both the Dragon King Token and the Sky Sword Order in his possession, he was truly on a roll.
