Chapter 2320 2294 Conspiracy (Part 2)
Chapter 2320: Chapter 2294: Conspiracy! (Part 2) Chapter 2320: Chapter 2294: Conspiracy! (Part 2) For their class, for their circle, it could be said they were indistinguishable from the masses!
Originally, Xu Sheng, even amongst the circles of Lingwu Continent’s top-tier families, was a Fengyun figure who was flattered and sought after by everyone!
But now? All his radiance had vanished!
How could Xu Sheng, who had grown accustomed to being the center of attention, accept this?
What made him most angry and insane was that the one who had pushed him off the Profound Ascension Rankings, was actually, still a Star Aperture realm waste?
Was it someone from the Divine Fire Academy, which was known to be at the bottom among the Four Great Academies?
Did such a waste deserve to take his place?
He wouldn’t accept it! He couldn’t bear it! His hatred was boundless!
He, Xu Sheng, was the true genius! This so-called Ye Chen should have been trampled underfoot by him!
At that moment, hearing the words of the charming woman, Xu Sheng looked at her expressionlessly and said indifferently, “Come here.”
Hearing his words, a flirtatious look flashed in the charming woman’s eyes. As she undid her nearly transparent chiffon dress, she sashayed over to Xu Sheng’s side.
Just as she was about to wrap her arms around Xu Sheng, he suddenly raised his hand and harshly slapped her face!
With a smack! The woman let out a miserable scream, was sent flying onto the ground. Her charming face swelled up significantly, blood filling her mouth, with several teeth knocked out!
Xu Sheng coldly looked down at the fearful woman huddled into a ball and said, “Mistake? You think you understand the Profound Ascension Rankings? Do you think the Profound Ascension Rankings are that prone to errors?”
The woman knew Xu Sheng hit her not because of what she had just said. The reason Xu Sheng hit her was merely to vent, but like all seemingly elegant, graceful upper-class noblemen, Xu Sheng, even when venting, needed a reason to make his outburst seem more “reasonable,” more “justified.”
Such behavior, of course, was utterly hypocritical and even nauseating, but the woman dared not utter a word of complaint!
The North Sea Xu Family was not an entity she could afford to provoke!
To put it unpleasantly, she was nothing more than Xu Sheng’s plaything. When he was happy, he would throw some money at her, take her to mingle with all kinds of celebrities and enjoy the envious gazes from other women. But when Xu Sheng was unhappy, even if he killed her, no one would question it!
The charming woman shuddered, shuddered forcefully, as if she had already become so humble that she had turned to dust and merged into the ground.
Even she herself felt she was too humble, too lacking in dignity!
But if Xu Sheng now told her to scram, to stop appearing before him, would she be willing?
Not only was she unwilling! She would cling to Xu Sheng’s thighs, begging him for forgiveness! Begging him not to drive her away! Even though she had done nothing wrong! Even though she would always be humble before Xu Sheng!
Yet even so, she still lived a life that countless women greatly envied, she held a status that should not have been hers, she had the qualifications to enter an upper-class circle she could never have touched before, didn’t she?
To make her give up all these, she would rather die! Rather die humbly!
Xu Sheng coldly watched the charming woman on the ground, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smirk.
The woman’s name was Song Rou, born exceedingly ordinary, merely the daughter of a sect master from a first-class sect, Baiyuan Sect. In the eyes of average Martial Arts Cultivators, Song Rou’s background would also be considered very impressive, even to the point of being a Venerable Immortal in ordinary people’s eyes!
But to Xu Sheng, the daughter of a first-class sect’s sect master? Wasn’t that almost no different from the lowly people?
He believed he was a genius on the Profound Ascension Rankings, and the women by his side should at least be daughters from the direct descendants of top-tier forces to match him, right?
The reason Xu Sheng kept Song Rou by his side was simple.
Because this woman was obedient!
And Song Rou’s appearance could be considered supreme-grade! It could be said that she was a rather nice plaything!
Having such a plaything at his disposal for his pleasure at any time wasn’t that also quite nice?
Of course, the premise was that Xu Sheng had not yet grown tired of Song Rou.
Suddenly, the corners of Xu Sheng’s mouth lifted slightly as he stared at Song Rou’s eyes, which shimmered faintly!
It seemed he had thought of some interesting idea!
Suddenly, a gentle smile appeared on his somewhat pale face as he leaned down to help Song Rou up.
Song Rou, however, kept her head down with a hint of fear, not daring to look at him!
Xu Sheng lifted Song Rou’s chin and looked at her lofty face, a trace of distress flickering in his eyes as he said in a gentle voice,
“Sorry, Xiao Rou, I was too harsh just now…”
As he spoke, he casually took out a seven-pattern pill, crushed it, and applied it to Song Rou’s swollen face, his movements tender as if he was afraid of hurting Song Rou.
A saint medicine, for Xu Sheng, was like picking up a common herb, used without any reluctance.
Song Rou was somewhat stunned for a moment, although she always unwilling to give up this life of vanity, she had managed to endure until now.
On the one hand, it was also because Xu Sheng often gave her the illusion that she might really have a chance to become Xu Sheng’s woman, Xu Sheng’s wife! It made her feel that Xu Sheng truly loved her!
However, she still carefully said, “No, it was my fault for speaking out of turn about things I don’t understand in front of the young master….”
Song Rou’s pretty face, under the effects of the elixir, quickly reduced in swelling, and even her knocked-out teeth grew back, restoring her charming looks.
Looking at Song Rou’s beautiful and flirtatious face, Xu Sheng smiled with satisfaction and suddenly said,
“Anyway, it was my fault for making you suffer, but you know how men can be temperamental sometimes, I really do cherish you, right?”
Song Rou’s shoulders trembled slightly, and she nodded, “Yes, Rou’er understands.”
Xu Sheng continued with a smile, “Mm, I will compensate you properly later. Haven’t you always wanted to attend the banquet hosted by the Lingwu Family’s direct descendants? Shall I take you there next time?”
Upon hearing this, Song Rou’s eyes lit up!
Excitedly, she nodded and said, “Thank you, Young Master Xu!”
A banquet of a Lingwu top-tier family, that was truly a gathering among the young elite of Lingwu’s highest echelons ah!
Just being able to be a part of it made Song Rou feel an immense sense of honor, as if her status was elevated countless times!
Xu Sheng’s smile grew even broader.
“However, before that, Rou’er, you have to help me with something first, okay?”
“Whatever orders Young Master Xu has, please just say the word, how could Rou’er dare not listen to Young Master Xu?”
When Song Rou spoke, her beautiful eyes sparkled with a hint of coquetry.
Xu Sheng laughed heartily, “Good! You’re indeed the Rou’er I like! I’ve mentioned to you before, haven’t I? In a week’s time, there will be an auction event on Feilei Island!”
