Chapter 431: Summoning Xiao Qiao

“Huh? Look, isn’t it the Phoenix Guqin Ship?”

After Dian Wei’s successful arrival, someone found that Zhou’s Phoenix Guqin Ship had sailed back to Dragon City from the sea through the moat.

Then, he emerged in white clothes and held a red seven-stringed guqin in his hands with a jade box in it.

He then walked to the altar where Ji Ye and Dian Wei were standing.

“Are they here to welcome Dian Wei?”

The new players were quite curious.

According to historical records, the two heroes of the Three Kingdoms didn’t have many interactions.

“Huh, I don’t think so. If he’s here to welcome him, he doesn’t need to carry the guqin. Huh, the tail of that guqin seems to be burnt. Is it Jiaowei1, one of the four most famous guqins?”

“City Master, I’d like to use the altar.”

Exactly as they speculated.

After Zhou Yu walked to the altar, he simply nodded at Dian Wei, a hero who was from the same period as him, and then said to Ji Ye.

“Oh, Gongjin, have you made a decision?”

Ji Ye looked at the jade box on the guqin with a changed expression.

“Yes. After all, tonight is the deadline.”

Zhou Yu nodded with a smile and then kept walking to the center of the altar with the red guqin.

“Huh, is Zhou Yu going to perform here?”

The fourth batch of players on the altar whispered with both hope and fear.

After all, most of them knew Zhou Yu’s musical expertise. Also, Nie Xiaoqian had proved the power of music in the Land of Inheritance!

After reaching the center of the altar, Zhou Yu lifted his robe, sat on the ground, and placed the red seven-stringed guqin on his legs.

“Holy Dragons, thank you for your trouble!”

Then, he waved his sleeves and opened the jade box on it before he spoke to the Dragons of Providence that were floating in the sky.

“Roar!”

The Dragons of Providence, whose length had expanded after the five thousand players arrived, nodded.

They shot golden light into the jade box from their eyes.

Clang!

Immediately after a creak, a phoenix whose body was covered in golden and red flames flew out of the jade box!

However, on a closer look, it turned out to be a golden hairpin that was in the shape of a phoenix.

[Phoenix Roar Hairpin]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Excellent Offering]

[Description: A hairpin that Wang Qing gave Duan Sanniang, his queen. It can unleash the sound of phoenixes that contains extraordinary power.]

Obviously, Zhou Yu was going to perform a ritual in person.

Although he wasn’t one of the early arrivals, he had received an invitation for his remarkable contributions on the battlefield.

The invitation would expire by midnight. After much deliberation, Zhou Yu had decided whom he was going to invite.

“Well, could the person that Zhou Yu invite be…”

Looking at the Phoenix Roar Hairpin that was clearly a female item, the old players already had some speculation.

Hum!

When activated, the Phoenix Roar Hairpin unleashed a huge fire, which was so dazzling that nothing could be seen on the altar.

After the fire stabilized, a woman with an unusual, unforgettable look emerged on the altar.

How unforgettable exactly?

Her big eyes emitted meanness, and her fingers and eyebrows were thick. Her fat belly wasn’t charming at all. There was heavy powder on her face. She wore countless golden hairpins and jade bracelets.

“Could she be… the supposedly beautiful Xiao Qiao of Jiangdong?”

In the Spring of Radiation, the player nicknamed Rabbit had widened eyes and almost failed to pretend to be a beautiful girl anymore.

After all, the woman was the opposite of what everybody imagined Xiao Qiao to be.

The heroes’ looks on the Land of Inheritance depended on most people’s impression as well as their real looks. If Xiao Qiao looked like this on the Land of Inheritance, she must’ve been even more hideous in history. In that case, the Eastern Dynasty would’ve been the dynasty with the weirdest aesthetic views in history!

“Hey, what Xiao Qiao? Open your eyes and observe. She’s the projection of the offering, not someone brought by the Soul of Civilization!” Mister Bug remarked in contempt.

“Damn it, you’re right. She’s from the offering. She must be Wang Qing’s queen!”

“I was really frightened!”

Rabbit, wearing female clothes and fake boobs, seemed not quite recovered from his shock.

“Damn, Wang Qing does have a heavy taste!”

According to the original novel, Wang Qing had flirted with a lot of girls with his natural good looks, exactly like Ximen Qing did in the book.

He even pissed off the infamous Four Greatest Villains because of his flirting. He luckily survived and was taken to the Duan Castle as a son-in-law.

That was how he got the foundation for his rebellion!

In retrospect, the price was indeed quite heavy!

Hum!

Realizing that the woman wasn’t Xiao Qiao, everybody looked at the other side of the altar, where a Soul of Civilization was releasing the light of a Quasi Commander.

In the light, a girl wearing a yellow long dress, with a fuzzy yet alluring face, appeared!

She was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a 25-stringed guqin in front of her. She happened to be only several feet away from Zhou Yu who sat outside of the Battlefield of Providence.

At the same time, a pleasant song began.

It was the first time that a poetic announcement had been made for someone who wasn’t a hero!

“Damn it, my husband and I were both killed by you. You think you can reunite with yours? No way!

“I’ll burn you!”

In the battlefield, Duan Sanniang, whose features were equally eye-catching, grunted angrily and waved her thick arm.

A red flame instantly dashed out of her saber and turned into a flying phoenix that swooped at the woman in the yellow dress.

“Huh?”

Faced with the attack of Duan Sanniang whose level was higher than hers, the woman in the yellow dress was slightly panicked and hurriedly laid her fingers on the strings of the guqin.

Ding!

However, when she was about to strum the strings, there was the sound of another guqin.

Music waves emerged in the sky of the battlefield and hit the fiery phoenix first.

On the altar, Zhou Yu, in his white clothes, began to play the guqin.

He wasn’t in the battlefield, yet his performance had been transmitted into it.

The players’ invitations could grant non-players access to the Land of Inheritance, and the natives’ invitations were special too, in that those invited could make use of some of the power of the person who invited them during the test!

Ding! Ding!

On the battlefield, the fiery phoenix, hit by Zhou Yu’s music waves, paused and lost all its aggression.

It didn’t attack Xiao Qiao at all but hovered around her intimately and cawed gently.

Zhao Yun had the Power of Dragon Valiance, Li Yuanba had Infinite Stamina, and Dian Wei had Brutal Aura…

Every Perfect Transcendent hero had a Transcendent power. How could Zhou Yu be an exception?

As a matter of fact, Zhou Yu’s talent was to transform the Extraordinary and even Transcendent power in things into flames with music and indirectly control them.

It was also the reason why he could fully activate the power of the guqin ship. Since the Phoenix Roar Hairpin was essentially fire-based power, it naturally couldn’t get away from Zhou Yu’s control!

“Ah!”

There was a delight on the face of the woman who was slightly panicking under the pouncing phoenix.

Then, she moved her fingers and strummed the guqin in front of her, echoing with Zhou Yu’s rhythm!

Ting! Ting! Ting!

A green bird flew out of the guqin along with her music and danced with the red phoenix.

They creaked in the sky, as if they were telling each other how much they had missed each other!

“Ahhhh, I’m so infuriated!”

The scene made Duan Sanniang so angry that the fat all over her body was shivering. She grunted like a pig.

She simply charged at the man and woman, who were talking to each other with music, with a giant knife held high.

Very soon, she desperately discovered that she couldn’t approach them at all.

Even though the two guqin players couldn’t see anybody else or take precautions, the birds in the sky had formed an invisible wall made of soundwaves as they hovered around them.

Duan Sanniang couldn’t break the wall with the knife, her fists, or her teeth!

She could only jump and yell from a short distance away. It almost looked like she was dancing to their music.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Finally, after Zhou Yu’s song was over, Duan Sanniang discovered, to her madness and frustration, that her body was vanishing from the Land of Inheritance because the offering had run out!

“D%$#$…”

Before she disappeared, she could only point at Zhou Yu and curse at him.

“Probably something like ‘go to hell’!”

Qin Yueyu was deep in thought.

This test was undoubtedly the weirdest in history.

The result wasn’t surprising. After the battlefield disappeared, the real face of the girl in the yellow dress was revealed. She looked young and shy, and she carried the vibe of the gentle waters of the south.

“Honey!”

The way she called Zhou Yu showed her identity.

“Xiao Qiao!”

The phoenix in the sky cawed and reduced in size.

In the end, it turned into a hairpin that had been created by a top jewelry designer. Zhou Yu grabbed it and gently put it on Xiao Qiao’s long black hair, making her look both beautiful and graceful, just like what was expected of someone from a noble family!
