523: Chapter 523 A Massive Social Disaster! I'm Insulting Myself Online!

Xie Jinghong felt as if ten thousand Primordial Dragon Elephants were stampeding through her mind.

No.

More than ten thousand.

It was a hundred thousand! A million! They formed a world-destroying beast tide, rampaging through her rock-solid Sea of Consciousness, trampling the Dao Heart defense she had painstakingly maintained for fifteen hundred years into smithereens and dust!

Fat and greasy.

Plotting against people every day.

Shifty-eyed and rat-like.

Hating baths.

nickname.

Every word was like a heavy hammer tempered with Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, mercilessly smashing onto the crown of her head!

She, Xie Jinghong, Young Lord of the Lingbao Trading Firm and the Tiannan Immortal Domain's recognized Thousand-Faced Goddess.

Having lived for over a thousand years, the praises she had heard could fill an entire Scripture Pavilion.

With a slender figure and peerless beauty, her pair of fox-like eyes could snatch away the Souls of ninety percent of the men in the world.

Fat and greasy? Her waist was so thin it could be held in a single hand, and she could dance on a palm!

Shifty-eyed and rat-like? She was a peerless beauty recognized by the Four Great Continents, with suitors stretching from the south of Tiannan to the north!

Hating baths? She spent an entire hour every day just soaking in fragrant baths of various rare Spirit Medicines!

Picking her feet? Her feet were as white and tender as jade, her toes the loveliest shade of pink; even her maids said they were works of art!

Su Chen!!

Are you blind!!

An uncontrollable Killing Intent surged violently from within Xie Jinghong, and the temperature inside the private room seemed to drop by over a dozen degrees.

Qian Duoduo even saw a thin layer of white frost forming on the surface of the teacup in front of him!

Xie Jinghong's molars let out a tooth-gritting "creak," like two pieces of immortal gold grinding against each other.

She wanted to explode.

She wanted to slap this lying bastard, along with his chair, right into the foundations of this Yingxian Restaurant with a single palm!

But her reason remained.

The string labeled "extracting information" was like a final shackle, tightly pulling back her last shred of rationality.

She had to keep acting.

She must keep acting.

To figure out Su Chen's background, to drain him dry at the auction, and for the secrets in the diary that made her heart itch with curiosity!

She had to endure.

Even if the sky fell, even if she had to personally admit she was a pig, she had to endure!

Xie Jinghong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing that Killing Intent, which was enough to freeze a Divine Soul, back into her Dantian.

She closed her eyes for a moment.

When she opened them again, within those fox-like eyes hidden behind the Black Jade Lenses, all the rage, Killing Intent, and grievance had been suppressed into an endless abyss.

She spoke slowly.

Her voice was very low and hoarse, as if being squeezed out word by word from a throat ground by sand and gravel.

"Young Master Su..."

She paused, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

The next word was stuck in her throat like a red-hot branding iron, refusing to come out.

She swallowed again, her Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

"...You have a Wisdom Eye as sharp as a torch."

After saying those words, she felt her Soul let out a scream of agony.

But it wasn't over yet.

Su Chen tilted his head to look at her, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation, clearly saying, "Go on, don't be afraid, I've got your back."

Xie Jinghong's eyes instantly turned red.

Not from being moved.

But from anger!

From frustration!

Because she, the dignified Young Proprietress of the Lingbao Trading Firm and the woman who would one day control half the wealth of the Immortal Domain, had to personally admit at this moment that she was a fat, greasy, nickname!

"Our boss..."

Her voice was already trembling uncontrollably.

"Is indeed..."

A pause.

She chewed the next words in her mouth three times, and with each chew, she felt like she was swallowing a lump of filth-covered mud.

"...Ugly beyond compare."

Su Chen nodded slightly, his expression one of relief, as if saying, "You've finally spoken the truth; I'm proud of you."

[Look! I knew it! This girl has finally had an Awakening! Daring to denounce her own black-hearted boss is the first step toward resistance! I, Su Chen, am truly a great philanthropist!]

His relieved gaze was like a poisoned needle stabbing into Xie Jinghong's heart.

She gritted her teeth even harder.

"Her temper... is violent."

Su Chen nodded heavily again, the pity in his gaze so thick it was about to overflow, as if he were looking at a victim who had finally plucked up the courage to speak out against oppression.

Xie Jinghong took a sharp breath, her chest aching from the violent emotional fluctuations.

When the last few words were squeezed out from between her teeth, she clearly heard the sound of her Dao Heart shattering into countless pieces.

"She is... a through-and-through... nickname."

It was said.

She had finished saying it.

She had used her own mouth to insult herself in front of her fiancé.

A humiliation she had never experienced in fifteen hundred years of cultivation flooded over her like a bursting dam.

Xie Jinghong's eyes were completely red, and a layer of mist uncontrollably welled up. She abruptly lowered her head and bit her lip hard, hiding that thin layer of mist behind her Black Jade Lenses so no one could see.

At this moment, the great Cultivator of the Seventh Heaven of Profound Immortal, the powerful Young Proprietress of the Lingbao Trading Firm, and the world-renowned Thousand-Faced Goddess, humiliatingly lowered her noble head before her fiancé.

Only because of those three damned words.

Extracting information.
