Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 540 - 519 Mo Family’s Thousand Gold (1/3)

The environment of the Immortal Realm was incredibly harsh; it wasn’t that someone who wasn’t a Star Sea bandit would welcome them warmly, but they could just as likely become their next victims. It really all came down to luck.

In this world where strength dictated one’s status, if I’m stronger than you, I can bully you, insult you, kill you, and also rob you of your money, treasure, and women!

As long as one didn’t incur the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people to an extreme level, one could even roam freely and unchecked in Forty-Nine Immortal City.

——Many who were forced out of the Immortal City to become Star Sea bandits were not necessarily more criminal; it was more likely that they lacked the power or background to support their reckless deeds.

But Zhou Heng and his companion had no other choice at the moment. They couldn’t fly slowly all the way back to Forty-Nine Immortal City, could they? Besides, only star ships were equipped with Star Charts; if the two of them flew aimlessly through the universe, they might end up further and further away from Forty-Nine Immortal City.

They had to board that ship!

The star ship actually began to descend slowly, as if it intended to land in this area on purpose.

"Disguise yourself a bit!" Zhou Heng said to Yang Lanxin. This seductive woman was just too enchanting; with her bewitching looks and devilish figure, how many could resist her temptation?

This was the desolate universe, where any evil deed might forever vanish from history, and Zhou Heng and his partner were not very strong, so on what grounds could they deter others?

Hence, hiding her peerless beauty was also a necessity.

Yang Lanxin knew all too well how soul-stirring she was. Zhou Heng didn’t need to tell her; she had already planned to do so. She immediately took out a pill and swallowed it, and her entire body instantly transformed. Her waist, thighs, and arms all thickened, and her cheeks swelled up too.

She had completely turned into a fatty. Although her breasts were still lofty and her voluptuous buttocks round and plump, they were drowned out by her fat figure, completely unappetizing.

Seeing Zhou Heng’s surprised face, Yang Lanxin couldn’t help but laugh, "As long as I don’t actively refine the medicine’s power, this effect can last for a year!"

The medicine was quite useful, but for a bewitching seductive woman to turn into a disgusting fat lady... it was just too revolting!

As luck would have it, not only had the star ship appeared in their field of vision, but it also landed in a region close to them.

"Let’s go!" Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin leapt up at the same time, flying towards the star ship.

"Stop right there!" As they approached within a hundred yards of the star ship, a stern voice suddenly rang out, and a figure also leapt down from the ship - it was a man in his thirties, radiating an overwhelmingly powerful aura.

This was a Moonlight Sovereign.

"Who are you?" he asked, his tone rigid and ice-cold.

Zhou Heng spoke before Yang Lanxin could, "We are subordinates of the Yang family from Xihai City. Our family sent us to find metal deposits and, unexpectedly, we encountered Star Sea bandits and suffered heavy losses! My wife and I were lucky to escape, but we can’t make it back to the Immortal City. We implore you to allow us the favor of hitching a ride on your ship!"

Much of his words were true with just a slight variation on their real identity; they were indeed from the Yang family and had indeed encountered Star Sea bandits, only altering a minor detail about their true identities.

The Moonlight Sovereign glanced at Yang Lanxin, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes. Clearly, the sight of the plump woman took him aback, but he did not doubt Zhou Heng’s words because of it.

Since Yang Lanxin’s cultivation level was clearly one realm higher than Zhou Heng’s, it was perfectly normal for Zhou Heng to marry a fat woman; it’s about securing a leg-up, after all!

Beautiful women would seek protection from experts, becoming wives, concubines, or slaves; men also did the same.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, it was natural for the weak to rely on the strong.

In the eyes of this Moonlight Sovereign, Zhou Heng was just such a man, looking to cling onto a powerful backer, and he couldn’t help but show a disdainful look.

He had every right to do so. A Moonlight Sovereign had absolute dominance over the Moonlight King, so why should he show any concern for a mere Moonlight King? Besides, Zhou Heng and his partner were the ones seeking his help, there was even less need for him to disguise his emotions.

"I’m not in charge of this matter; follow me," said the Moonlight Sovereign, gesturing for Zhou Heng and his partner to come with him.

Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin both nodded. Being a star ship captain, one naturally understood that it wasn’t possible to just casually let people board one’s ship. That could very likely mean welcoming a spy from the Star Sea bandits, equipped with a device sending out spatial coordinates, which would doom the entire ship!

The three of them boarded the ship together and arrived on deck. Zhou Heng swept his gaze around and saw that the overall quality of the soldiers moving about was a cut above those of the Yang family.

At the very least, these people were of Heavenly Venerate Rank, and at least half of them were Quasi-Immortals!

Just from this, it was clear that the Mo Family’s strength was superior to the Yang family’s.

Yang Lanxin’s expression became serious. If the Mo Family’s strength was on par with, or slightly less than, the Yang family’s, they might still sell face to the Yang family and let them hitch a ride, as it wouldn’t cause them any loss. But if the Mo Family was stronger than the Yang family, then why should they give face to the Yang family?

They could only rely on their ability to adapt and the mood of the master.

The trio proceeded, one in front and two behind, and quickly arrived at the main cabin. The Moonlight Sovereign knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Reporting to the Fourth Miss, the people have been brought here!"

"Enter!" A cold voice came from inside, not loud, but naturally bearing an authoritative tone, as though accustomed to giving orders for a long time.

"Yes," the Moonlight Sovereign agreed before pushing the door open and signaling Zhou Heng and his companions to enter. After Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin walked in, he followed them, closed the door with his hands behind his back, and took a seat on the throne.

In the main vessel’s chamber, there was only one person, a woman with a slender figure draped in a black dress, her back turned to Zhou Heng and the others. But even from her silhouette, one could tell that this woman had an impressive body shape, especially her long legs, which accentuated her upright stature.

She turned around and said, "State your names and origins. If there is one lie, I will kill you!"

Her icy voice seemed capable of freezing one’s very blood.

With her turning around, her beautiful face also came into view in front of Zhou Heng and his companion. Her features were strikingly exquisite, like a blossoming rose, her skin as flawless as jade, snow-white, smooth; yet her expression was so frigid, it induced an endless chill in those who marveled at her beauty.

Zhou Heng felt a shiver in his heart; the aura emanating from this woman was not the slightest bit weaker than Wang Yuanlong’s — she was a Moonlight Emperor!

Meanwhile, Yang Lanxin was sizing up the other woman. In terms of facial features, they seemed about the same, and their skin, smooth, snow-white, and tender, was comparable as well. But when it came to the bust area, Yang Lanxin could not help but sneer inside, victorious!

The other woman’s chest, though not flat-chested, was far from voluptuous. Yang Lanxin’s own could match hers two to one, and even have an extra three or four hundred grams in weight!

Next up was their waistlines, which were similar in their slenderness, followed by hips.

Another complete victory!

Her buttocks were plump and luscious, brimming with the voluptuous charm of femininity, giving off an impression of sensuality that went to the bone, but what about the other woman? Skinny and lacking, unbearably immature.

When comparing their legs, the other woman’s thighs were indeed long, but hers were no less excellent, and at similar heights, they drew again, each as good as the other.

All things considered, she had the absolute advantage in two key areas and was naturally the victor!

What of a Moonlight Emperor? In terms of womanly allure, one of her could beat ten of the other!

"My name is Zhou Heng, and this is my wife, An Yumei. We come from the Yang family of Xihai City. The reason for our trip..." Zhou Heng repeated the same mixture of truths and one lie they had concocted as an excuse.

The gaze of the woman in black swept back and forth over Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin, discerning the subtle changes in their expressions. When she noticed the look of disdain subtly emerge on Yang Lanxin’s face, she couldn’t help but be taken aback.

She was Mo Yuyan from the Mo Family, proud for her outstanding talent and leadership skills, which gave her a position of considerable status within her family. As someone in a leadership position, her observational abilities were exceptional, allowing her to easily infer the thoughts and intentions of her subordinates from a glance or a gesture.

The disdain on Yang Lanxin’s face was not lost on Mo Yuyan, who analyzed the underlying meaning, though the conclusion left her unsure of what to think.

For she realized Yang Lanxin was actually looking down on her appearance!

To be despised by a plump woman!

Although Mo Yuyan held a lofty position, she too was a woman — and not just any woman, but a great beauty. She took great pride and satisfaction in her appearances, yet here she was, scorned by a plump woman!

How she wanted to give that fat woman a mirror!

But this thought flashed briefly through Mo Yuyan’s mind. She was too busy overseeing myriad affairs to entertain such a trifling matter. After quietly listening to Zhou Heng finish their fabricated story, she turned her head toward Yang Lanxin and said, "Repeat it!"

Back and forth, she had Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin recount their tale four times, ensuring there were no discrepancies in their account, yet she still didn’t completely believe them.

The time and place of these two’s appearance were just too coincidental!

The Mo Family was conducting a business deal with a certain faction and had chosen this location for the exchange. Originally, they had only exchanged spatial coordinates in the starry sky, not expecting a continent to float over to that very spot, and most surprisingly, with two people on it!

Could they be spies sent by a rival family?

Mo Yuyan immediately shook the thought from her mind. Their journey had been the epitome of discretion, and it was highly unlikely any other family could have intercepted their plans, let alone acted before them!

These two, indeed, might have come here as they had claimed, to escape bandits in the Star Sea.

In a moment’s decision, she said, "Qianming, arrange a cabin for them!"

"Yes, Fourth Miss!" replied the Moonlight Sovereign standing solemnly by the door.

Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin exchanged a glance, each feeling a wave of relief inside. It seemed they had passed the most difficult hurdle.

It was at this moment that Mo Yuyan suddenly acted, her delicate hand lashing out with a crushing surge of power, moving at an astonishing speed!

Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin’s minds were in the midst of relaxing after extreme tension, the moment when they were most unguarded, and Mo Yuyan, being a Moonlight Emperor, completely overpowered them in strength!

Her strike was so swift that they hardly had time to react before being hit.

They were at her mercy! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast recommendation votes and monthly votes at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
