Chapter 529: Chapter 508: A Perfect Match (2/3)

Zhou Heng sighed and pulled over the blanket to cover the Moon Shadow Saintess, then he opened the door.

Standing at the door was none other than Yang Lanxin of the Yang family. But the first thing that caught Zhou Heng’s eye was not her flower-like, jade-like beautiful face but rather her full bosom that seemed ready to burst forth!

This caused Zhou Heng’s heart to flutter, but it also made him even angrier. If it wasn’t for this woman coming to cause trouble now, he would have already been able to feast on the Moon Shadow Saintess!

"You’re not compensating, so why join in the excitement?"

Yang Lanxin was taken aback. She had seen countless men gaze at her with that look and expression.

Even her subordinates, and even the ordinary folks and scoundrels on the streets, though filled with fear for her, couldn’t hide the burning desire deep in their eyes, as if they wished to ravish her with their gaze a hundred times over!

Yang Lanxin always looked down on such cowards, of course. And if anyone dared to force themselves upon her, their fate would be even more tragic, with no place to be buried after death!

Yang Lanxin had followed her father in battle for many years and was accustomed to killing. Her own hands were also stained with much blood, earning her the nickname "Blood Rakshasa." This was not merely a title; at least a few thousand people had died by her hands!

Even if Zhou Heng looked at her with lecherous eyes, it wouldn’t have surprised her, but the problem was, Zhou Heng’s gaze was full of impatience, as if she were not a beauty men would fall over themselves for, but a beggar!

Realizing this, Yang Lanxin felt very uncomfortable.

Most beauties are proud, and she was no exception, filled with confidence in her own charm. Yet Zhou Heng showed such an impatient look towards her, how could she accept it?

"Brother Zhou, do you have time for a chat?" she asked with patience.

Zhou Heng really wanted to say no; there was a tender beauty waiting for him to favor her in the room! But since he was on someone else’s ship, he had to give the host some face. So, he reluctantly agreed.

Yang Lanxin saw the unwillingness on Zhou Heng’s face and almost couldn’t resist kicking this guy away!

You’re just the Moonlight King, and you’re not even that handsome to shake the heavens, yet she, a stunning beauty, personally came to you and you still have the nerve to make faces? This was simply an enormous insult to her, causing her to feel a slight murderous intent.

"Brother Zhou, which planet did you ascend from in the Mortal Realm?" Yang Lanxin suppressed the killing intent in her heart. Zhou Heng’s background was still unclear; if he really were a scion from the top tier of the Upper Three Cities, then he definitely should not be killed.

Besides, even if Zhou Heng really ascended from the Mortal Realm, given his demonic talent, Yang Lanxin would treat him with great respect!

She was an ambitious woman who wanted to expand her family’s business; thus, she was in great need of talent.

There were geniuses in the Immortal Realm, of course, but each one of them was too proud to even consider the Yang family from the small West Twelve Cities. To recruit them, the Yang family might not be able to afford the price, and even if they could, the geniuses might not be interested.

But Zhou Heng was different. If he really had ascended from the Mortal Realm, he would inevitably be alone and weak. If she could grant favors now, it would not be difficult to bind him to them!

And what gave Yang Lanxin even more confidence was that she herself was an exceptionally beautiful woman!

Although Blood Rakshasa was a fierce figure in the West Twelve Cities that stopped countless children from crying at night, she was also the object of countless men’s day and night fantasies. Many men would rather die to spend one night with her.

Therefore, she firmly believed she could dazzle Zhou Heng, turning him into a loyal servant under her skirt!

Of course, the start was a bit different from what she had expected, but... she believed in her charm!

"Dragon River Continent!" Zhou Heng said. With such details, there was no point in hiding anything. A single lie needs a thousand more lies to cover it up—just don’t reveal the secret of the Star Core.

Yang Lanxin nodded and began to probe further.

She was adept at manipulation, clearly digging for Zhou Heng’s background, yet she spoke with such apparent concern, almost like a saintess.

Zhou Heng knew her intentions, but he did not plan to hide anything.

As a result, Yang Lanxin was very satisfied and even credited her charm for working, revealing a confident smile. She repeated her inquiries at least three times, convinced that every detail matched up. She finally completely believed Zhou Heng.

This guy was indeed a newly ascended from the Mortal Realm.

Absolute talent!

Although Yang Lanxin had not yet seen Zhou Heng’s battle power, being able to advance to Moonlight Realm before the age of fifty was nothing short of demonic, a caliber matched only by the super-talented of the big families in the Upper Three Cities!

Such a gem would one day shine with a dazzling light!

Yang Lanxin had already decided to win over Zhou Heng. To deal with such a young and vigorous guy, it was all about fame, fortune, and seduction.

The Yang family would cultivate him with all their might. As long as Zhou Heng was not an ungrateful person, he would definitely be grateful and indebted. Then, with her beauty tempting him, Zhou Heng would naturally be tied to the Yang family’s warship. Of course, the so-called seduction was not about vulgarly going to bed together, but about being just within reach—but not quite!

What one cannot get is always the best!

Yang Lanxin had no intention of using her body as a bargaining chip in negotiations. She might seduce men the world over, but the man who would gain access to her body must be a true man, wild and unyielding, capable of conquering her rather than being conquered by her!

"Brother Zhou, you’ve just arrived and are unfamiliar with this place. Moreover, the cruelty of the Immortal Realm surely exceeds your imaginations. Why not stay with the Pi family for a while? The Pi family has a guard team, consisting of three main captains and seven vice-captains, commanding a thousand Immortals! I can decide on this matter, and I’ll tentatively offer you the position of a vice-captain. Once your strength increases in the future, becoming a main captain is within reach!"

Zhou Heng’s interest was piqued by these words, as he had also planned to align with a power first before making any plans after he had fully grasped the situation of the Immortal Realm.

He smiled and responded, "Then I shall follow Miss Yang’s arrangements!"

Yang Lanxin smiled enchantingly, and as her gaze turned playful, her magnificent bosom quivered, as if waves were threatening to spill forth. She didn’t mind flaunting her seductiveness a bit, allowing Zhou Heng’s eyes to take advantage of her in a harmless way.

"This time, the family mobilized the Silver Dragon ship to search for rare mineral deposits!" Having established their employment relationship, Yang Lanxin immediately turned serious, adopting the demeanor of a superior, "A million years ago, the entire Immortal Realm almost crumbled. Although the great beings eventually established forty-nine Immortal Cities, precious metals have always been scarce resources. These resources are hidden within fragments of broken continents, and our mission is to discover these metals!"

"I see!" Zhou Heng nodded.

"You must not be careless. Although these shattered continents are no longer suitable for Martial Artists to cultivate, some have become paradises for Starry Sky Demon Beasts. They may not understand cultivation, yet they are born from nature’s spiritual energy and possess boundless battle power!" Yang Lanxin quickly warned.

Her words were indeed heartfelt, for she saw Zhou Heng as a future right-hand man and naturally did not wish for him to perish on his path of growth due to carelessness.

That would be a loss for the Yang family!

"Moreover, what’s even more dangerous are the Star Sea Bandit Gangs!" she added.

"Star Sea Bandits?"

"Many Experts committed major crimes within the Immortal Cities but managed to flee. Those with formidable strength formed Bandit Gangs, raiding all over the Star Sea! These Bandit Gangs vary in strength, but each and every one of them is ruthless, and they are much more dreaded by those who search for metals than Starry Sky Demon Beasts—they are far more terrifying!" Yang Lanxin’s expression grew even more solemn.

Those who could not remain within the Immortal Cities and had no spiritual energy to cultivate in the vast Star Sea could only rely entirely on Immortal Stones!

Therefore, these Star Sea Bandits were naturally malevolent, looting for Immortal Stones everywhere.

Zhou Heng sighed. It seemed he’d need to pray for good fortune to avoid encountering powerful Star Sea Bandits on his journey to the Immortal City.

"Are we... are we currently exploring this continent?" Zhou Heng inquired.

"Indeed!" Yang Lanxin nodded.

"I think we can leave now!" Zhou Heng said with a smile.

"Why?" Yang Lanxin furrowed her brows, thinking that Zhou Heng had grown afraid after hearing about the Star Sea Bandits and wanted to flee back to the Immortal City immediately. If that were the case, Zhou Heng’s standing in her eyes would certainly diminish.

A Martial Artist’s lesser talent mattered little, but without the courage to strive, what future was there to speak of?

Zhou Heng spoke calmly, "Because there is not a single piece of metal on this continent!"

"How do you know that?" Yang Lanxin looked down on Zhou Heng even more, thinking he was fabricating such a lie! It was known that the strata of the Immortal Realm were extremely dense, and only a Divine Sense at the Creation Realm could penetrate them. Wasn’t Zhou Heng blatantly telling a lie?

"Because there is a Star Charm below!" Zhou Heng confidently declared.

The Star Charm, much like the Gold Devouring Clan, fed on metals. With such a creature around, could there possibly be any precious metals left?

Could that creature have only just arrived?

Others might not be able to judge, but Zhou Heng could, for he possessed the Essence Blood of the Gold Devouring Clan. He hadn’t sensed even the slightest hint of metal essence as he traveled here.

Therefore, this continent must have been completely hollowed out by that Star Charm.

"Star Charm!" Yang Lanxin was startled, well aware of what the creature was. As a natural beast that devoured metals, if what Zhou Heng said was true, indeed no metals would be found here.

"An adult Star Charm?" she asked.

"A juvenile!"

Yang Lanxin immediately brightened, for if it were an adult Star Charm, even the entire Yang family might be annihilated in an instant. However, a juvenile Star Charm was different, at most equivalent in battle power to the Moonlight Emperor.

With Wang Yuanlong, a genuine Moonlight Emperor, on the Yang family’s side, along with the starship’s firepower... that was sufficient to subdue another Moonlight Emperor!

A Star Charm’s bones, formed from condensed metal essence, were extremely precious metals! The bones of a juvenile Star Charm might not be the best, but an adult was beyond their means to capture!

"Where did the juvenile Star Charm go?" Yang Lanxin eagerly asked Zhou Heng, knowing that if they caught the juvenile, their expedition would be worthwhile!(To be continued.
