Chapter 287: Chapter 145: Cheating to One’s Face
Regardless of whether it was the old dowager or the clan head of the Fu Family, upon seeing the Ten Thousand Fox Well shaking, they considered the possibility of the ancestor’s wrath or dissatisfaction. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine... was the ancestor actually begging for mercy?
What had happened inside to make the ancestor speak these words?
“Could it be... the shaking of the Ten Thousand Fox Well is not caused by the ancestor’s anger?” Swallowing, the Fu Family clan head had a look of utter incredulity on his face.
“It seems... excessive fright can also cause trembling...”
The old dowager suddenly spoke.
“Frightened?” The Fu Family clan head’s eyes bulged.
“I’ll ask again...”
Even the old dowager found it unbelievable and once again bit her tongue, spraying out a mouthful of blood. Her murmur then transmitted, “Mother, what on earth happened? Did these youngsters do something to anger you? I’ll discipline them thoroughly...”
A flash of light appeared on the screen: “Get someone out, I’m begging you, really begging you...”@@@@
“...”
The old dowager’s eyelids twitched, and she quickly nodded, “Alright!”
Then she turned her head to the Fu Family clan head not far away: “Hurry up and stop the operation of the Ten Thousand Fox Well formation, and bring them out!”
Since they could send people in, naturally, they had means to let them out.
“Yes!”
Not daring to delay, the Fu Family clan head reached into the air, a dagger appeared, and she sliced over her wrist, causing blood to flow instantly, turning into a stream that surged towards the inside of the Ten Thousand Fox Well.
The assessment had not ended, and it would take blood essence from close blood relatives of the Heaven Mandate Domain to rescue the people—a greater number of people meant a greater loss.
Within just two breaths, the clan head’s face turned pale due to excessive blood loss.
Buzz!
Upon receiving her blood, the Heaven Mandate Domain seemed to have triggered some rules, a spatial distortion ensued, and with a rustling sound, over ten figures tumbled to the ground, appearing in front of them.
It was Zhang Xuan, Fu Yingying, and others.
Phew!
As everyone appeared, the Ten Thousand Fox Well seemed to let out a sigh of relief, its shaking ceased, and its light slowly dissipated. The clan head also sat down on the ground, no longer bearing the imposing aura and temperament she had before, looking extremely ragged instead.
“Why are we out?”
Zhang Xuan, absorbed in his cultivation, involuntarily opened his eyes.
Although the cultivation time was short, his Origin Energy was abundant. He not only broke through to the Galaxy Realm pinnacle but also achieved the first level in one go! He had thought about trying to reach even higher, and then he ended up here...
“And you?”
Not expecting her pickings to be so few, the old dowager frowned slightly and looked at the others.
Fu Qingqing hesitated for a moment and then extended her palm, “I picked two!”
Fu Jingjing stepped forward, “I picked one!”
Fu Weiwei, full of embarrassment, said, “I didn’t pick any...”
Fu Yiyi hesitated and then spoke, “I picked three!”
“Five, three, two, one...” The old dowager’s eyes revealed a bit of confusion.
Could it be a mistake before?
If what Fu Yingying realized was indeed the Supreme Secret Technique, how could she have found only one? Even with limited time, four or five Landing Pearls should be attainable, right?
Just then, the clan head suddenly spoke, “According to the previous agreement, the more you pick, the higher your score in the assessment. Since Fu Yuanyuan is first...”
“Clan head, please wait!”
Just then, Zhang Xuan suddenly spoke up.
“What is it?” The clan head frowned.
“Actually... the Landing Pearls that Jingjing, Yiyi, and Qingqing have, they were all picked by Fu Yingying...”
Zhang Xuan said this and turned his head towards the girls, “Isn’t that right?”
“This...”
Fu Jingjing and the others exchanged glances before nodding together, “Yes!”
Since their idol had chosen Fu Yingying, as admirers, they naturally had to comply... Otherwise, what if he neglected us?
“Yingying, these were all found by you, we’ve just taken them over; now we’re giving them back to you...”
Fu Yiyi was the first to approach, handing her Landing Pearls over.
Fu Qingqing and Fu Jingjing also handed over their fruits.
Watching the fruits multiply in her palm, Fu Yingying turned to look at the young man not far away, full of gratitude.
Back in Han Yuan City when she found him, she didn’t have too much confidence—it was like clutching at straws, but she never expected him to create so many miracles one after another.
“Cough cough, such blatant cheating in front of us... isn’t very nice, is it?”
The clan head’s mouth twitched.
I’ve seen cheating before, but never so brazen; do they take us for fools?
