Chapter 117: The Failed Beauty Trap

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Failed Beauty Trap

An earth-shattering explosion erupted accompanied by A Zhiqiu’s piercing scream!

The nearest to A Zhiqiu, Chen Qing didn’t even blink, terribly steady in her emotions.

Super Shield Whale blocked all the shockwave, protecting Chen Qing and the group of Muscle Turtles behind her.

The Muscle Turtles looked around in a daze, still not fully comprehending what had just happened.

As the smoke of the explosion cleared, A Zhiqiu could no longer maintain her original composure, glaring at Chen Qing with anger and venom, wishing she could devour Chen Qing alive right then.

"It was you who wanted to come over."

Chen Qing knew how to rub salt into wounds.

At her words, A Zhiqiu flew into a rage in an instant!

"Slut, slut, slut!!! Aaahhhhh!! You really are a slut!!"

A Zhiqiu, now completely irrational, screamed and shouted in anger!

Indeed, just as Shine Liu Jin had said, she was a slut!!

The Mechanical Spiders attached amidst the rubble blasted A Zhiqiu to smithereens, her hair, tentacles, mouthparts, ...

In short, A Zhiqiu had been blown up pretty badly.

She was now tattered and torn, staring at Chen Qing with intense hatred, having completely forgotten Shine’s warnings.

As an external member of Cross Star, A Zhiqiu naturally shared their nature.

However, compared to Liu Jin and Shine, she was far more irrational.

Having roamed the Gem Sea for so long, A Zhiqiu had not experienced such a setback in a while.

She had never expected Chen Qing to be so formidable, nor did she foresee how adeptly this woman could utilize machinery.

"The new and improved Mechanical Spider Bomb, its power has increased by more than thirty percent, and you are the first to test it."

Chen Qing spoke calmly to A Zhiqiu.

"So I should thank you?"

A Zhiqiu sneered, feeling as if she might die of anger.

"I’d advise you not to move, nor should that Treasure Fish Sea Beast."

Chen Qing pulled a smile, though not a very obvious one, on her face.

Although Chen Qing didn’t like to express her emotions openly, she was very clear about how to hit them where it hurts the most.

A Zhiqiu and those from Cross Star, more than physical pain, cared about their emotional state.

Just as they liked to torture those they captured, watching them descend into agony and lose everything they held dear and took pride in.

"Shh—"

Before A Zhiqiu could finish speaking, a large number of Mechanical Spiders, glowing red, crawled out from the sandy ground.

"..."

A Zhiqiu fell silent; a single Mechanical Spider was not frightening, but a change in quantity caused a qualitative change.

Such a large number of Mechanical Spider Bombs would leave her dead or crippled.

She wasn’t yet powerful enough to be invulnerable to damage.

"You surely wouldn’t want to find out whether your speed is greater, or if the bombs explode faster, right?"

Meeting Chen Qing’s calm gaze, A Zhiqiu couldn’t clearly define her feelings anymore.

Anger? Or fear?

She hadn’t felt this way in a long time, as it had always been others who were afraid of her; she was the Hunter.

But now...

For the people of Cross Star, indeed, emotional manipulation did more damage; they feared spiritual attacks more.

A Zhiqiu was overly confident, trusting her own strength to be greater than Chen Qing’s, yet she overlooked Chen Qing’s other assets.

All her attention was focused on the Treasure Fish and Chen Qing, neglecting the anomalies beneath the sandy floor.

If it were Shine and Liu Jin, whom she had encountered before, they would never have made such a mistake.

Seeing A Zhiqiu in this state, the Muscle Turtles grew arrogant once more.

One by one, they hid behind Chen Qing, flaunting their might at A Zhiqiu.

A Zhiqiu was so angry she felt like vomiting blood, yet she was helpless.

"Did you come over from the Sea Clan?"

Chen Qing’s cold voice rang in A Zhiqiu’s ears. She really wanted to answer defiantly.

However, just as she hesitated in silence, the bomb beneath her exploded again!

The intense pain made her curse words spill out instantly. As soon as she’d spoken, A Zhiqiu immediately looked at Chen Qing with fear, terrified that Chen Qing would do something else to her.

A Zhiqiu of the Cross Star, who had always been adept at controlling others’ emotions, was now having her own emotions controlled by Chen Qing, much to everyone’s satisfaction.

A Zhiqiu, who had been repeatedly bombed, was covered in bloody wounds, looking terribly horrifying.

But beyond the horror, A Zhiqiu’s beauty became even more breathtaking.

Even with a dirty face and covered in mud, her beauty could not be concealed. With peerless beauty, she looked pitifully at Chen Qing and the others, as if she might shatter in the next second.

Unfortunately for her, she encountered Chen Qing and the Muscle Turtles.

Chen Qing, like a machine, rarely exhibited any emotional fluctuations.

No matter how much more beautiful A Zhiqiu became, she would not affect Chen Qing in the slightest, unless it was a special kind of beauty capable of spiritual attacks, which might cause fluctuations in Chen Qing’s emotions.

As for the group of Muscle Turtles... Humans and they had completely different aesthetics. They didn’t think A Zhiqiu looked good at all.

Instead, they thought A Zhiqiu was too skinny, like a bamboo pole, utterly ugly.

Even to them, Chen Qing’s attractiveness was just barely passable.

A true beauty should have strong muscles like theirs, a formidable physique!

Even if their aesthetics were aligned, to creatures like Muscle Turtles that only thought about muscles and violence, they would not be fooled by A Zhiqiu.

A Zhiqiu’s beauty scheme was utterly useless.

More than that, it had even begun to annoy Chen Qing.

She didn’t have much time left because the Treasure Fish under A Zhiqiu’s control had almost finished eating all the gemstones.

Chen Qing was not sure if the remaining gemstones could attract the Wind Shadow Jade.

If they couldn’t, she would definitely make A Zhiqiu regret coming to this world.

"Answer my question."

Chen Qing looked down coldly at A Zhiqiu, who had fallen to the ground. Head bowed, A Zhiqiu mumbled without giving a clear answer, scheming in her heart.

Undoubtedly, Chen Qing’s strength was inferior to hers.

Therefore, Chen Qing would not confront her head-on; she always relied on machinery.

If she could just endure the explosions of the Mechanical Spider Bombs, she could turn the situation around.

A vicious glint flickered in A Zhiqiu’s eyes. When the time came, she was determined to cut Chen Qing’s flesh piece by piece to dip in sauce and eat!

Her bones, she would turn into—

"Boom——!!"

Before A Zhiqiu could finish her thoughts, Chen Qing mercilessly detonated the bomb.

Fear surfaced again in her eyes. A Zhiqiu clearly sensed the killing intent; Chen Qing really wanted to kill her!

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk—"

A Zhiqiu spoke out in haste, spilling everything immediately.

"It was them who hired me to clear the obstacles."

"Is that so?"

"Really!"

A Zhiqiu emphasized, the scales hanging beneath her suddenly emitting a faint, unusual glow.

It was a Space Item.

"Die!!"

A Zhiqiu’s expression became ferocious all at once, as the Treasure Fish Sea Beast fiercely darted towards Chen Qing!
