546: Chapter 546 Xiao Zhanqiu, Beautiful Woman

The Heavenly Tower was not tall, only five stories high.

Built of grey stone, it was as plain as an ancestral hall, devoid of any immortal light or auspicious aura.

A bronze bell hung from the eaves, ringing without wind, emitting a desolate hum as if someone had struck it countless years ago, the echo still lingering.

A stone stele stood in front of the tower, bearing only two characters: Human Race.

The script was weathered, yet it still exuded an unyielding Battle Intent, carved by the fingers of a Human Race sage.

Creatures of various races paused before the tower, discussing it in hushed tones.

"What a pity! Only the Human Race can enter to obtain the Opportunity left by the Human Race sages!"

A great demon sighed with regret.

"That Fairy from the Misty Immortal Realm started with one thousand Heavenly Mandate points; she is truly remarkable."

"You call one thousand remarkable? Someone named Feng Buxuan came from the Heavenly Immortal Domain with one thousand five hundred Heavenly Mandate points."

"What is Feng Buxuan? There is someone named Qin Yutian from the Five Domains and Two Heavens who also has one thousand five hundred Heavenly Mandate points, and he even found what his Great Emperor father left behind."

"The father of the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor? Isn't that an Emperor's son? How Heaven-Defying!"

"Your information is outdated. A few days ago, Xiao Zhanqiu arrived from the Misty Immortal Realm with two thousand Heavenly Mandate points, which is even more impressive than any Emperor's son."

"Two thousand??? Is he even human?"

"How many Prodigies has the Misty Immortal Realm produced in this generation? What kind of place is it exactly?"

As they were speaking, Qin Wushang arrived.

"That guy is here!"

Someone whispered, quickly turning their head away.

"Why are you so afraid? What is his background?"

"A Prodigy from our Five Domains and Two Heavens, the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo."

The person replied, not daring to look up.

No other reason! It was simply because he was from the Ji Family and had witnessed his own Emperor's son being slain by Qin Wushang.

Gradually, the surroundings fell silent.

"The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo?"

The voice of a powerhouse from the Purple Emperor Ancient Star changed.

"That number one Physique of the Human Race? It is a legendary existence even on our ancient star!"

"The Human Race... could it be that the heavens are about to change in this lifetime?"

"To think such a monster has appeared... I just wonder how deep his foundation is!"

The crowd fell silent, their gazes landing on the white-clad figure with great wariness, their expressions complex and indescribable.

In the distance, a young man turned around.

He carried a sword on his back... no, it could hardly be called a sword; it was a door panel.

It was pitch black, wide, and broader than he was. The blade was exposed, wreathed in electric light as if it contained an entire ocean of thunder.

His gaze was like a sword, sweeping straight over, causing the Void Realm to emit a faint sword hum.

A terrifying Sword Intent!

"Finally, a real character has arrived."

The young man smiled, revealing snow-white teeth, and then greeted him loudly.

"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to join forces to enter the Heavenly Beast Island?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"It's him! Xiao Zhanqiu!"

"Is that the Xiao Zhanqiu who withstood a strike from the Heavenly Guard?"

"A top-tier Prodigy from the Misty Immortal Realm, and he actually took the initiative to invite Qin Wushang?"

"Who is this guy... so awesome that even Xiao Zhanqiu couldn't help but extend an invitation!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Wushang did not stop his pace, his expression did not change, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

He walked into the Heavenly Tower, and from beginning to end, he did not glance at Xiao Zhanqiu once.

The smile froze on Xiao Zhanqiu's face.

"Uh...!"

"So aloof!"

Xiao Zhanqiu felt a bit awkward.

The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear the sound of sand and wind hitting the walls of the Heavenly Tower.

After a while, someone muttered, "He doesn't even acknowledge Xiao Zhanqiu? This... is too arrogant."

"It seems... he has the right to be! After all, he is the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! I wonder if the legendary number one Physique of the Human Race has three thousand Heavenly Mandate points!"

The crowd was curious, and some turned back to follow him into the Heavenly Tower.

Xiao Zhanqiu said nothing, simply withdrawing his hand slowly. His gaze rested on the disappearing figure, his eyes devoid of anger, holding only the light of a hunter spotting prey.

Inside the Heavenly Tower, the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

As soon as Qin Wushang stepped through the gate, a beautiful woman approached him.

She was extremely alluring, with a voluptuous figure and undulating curves, with every part accentuated, wrapped in a purple dress with a low neckline that revealed a large expanse of snow-white skin.

Her eyes were filled with charm, and at a glance, one could tell she was not someone to be trifled with.

"Yo, this Young Master is so handsome."

The beautiful woman leaned in with a smile, her jade hands resting directly on Qin Wushang's shoulders, her fingertips lightly grazing his collar in an incredibly suggestive manner.

"Would you like... special service?"

She asked, her words shocking.

Before Qin Wushang could speak, Lin Ziyao rushed forward in a flash, blocking him and saying urgently, "Brother Wushang, no! We don't want anything!"

She knew all too well the pitfalls involved!

She turned her head and lowered her voice to explain, "Brother Wushang! Her special service is just talking to you—ten Heavenly Mandate points per sentence!"

"If you owe too much, you won't be able to leave the Heavenly Tower!"

Hearing this, Qin Wushang's eyelid twitched.

Such a ripoff? He had thought she was teasing him, but it turned out to be actual special service!

How truly special!

The beautiful woman was unperturbed, laughing even more happily, "Oh, Heavenly Mandate points are meant to be spent in this place; only by giving can one receive."

"I can explain some things about the Heavenly Beast Island to you~"

"Those are all essential tips for survival; spending a few Heavenly Mandate points is worth it."

Ye Hongfu stepped forward, bowing slightly, her tone polite, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but we do not need it."

Qin Wushang frowned and was about to speak, but the beautiful woman had already bypassed the other women and directly hugged his arm.

In that instant, his arm sank into a mass of softness, warm and elastic.

A wave of heat instantly spread throughout his body.

"Senior, please show some self-respect."

Qin Wushang's voice dropped slightly as he tried to pull his arm away.

The beautiful woman remained unmoved, instead hugging him tighter.

She looked up at him with a smile, her eyes full of charm.

"Young Master, one cannot be so aloof in life."

"Smile a little."

Qin Wushang remained expressionless, like a stone.

The women exchanged glances and stepped forward simultaneously.

Ye Hongfu grabbed his left hand, Lin Ziyao pulled his right arm, and Mu Bingyun and Jiang Chengqiu guarded his sides, attempting to rescue him from the beautiful woman's clutches.

Yet the beautiful woman refused to let go, her jade hands seemingly rooted to Qin Wushang's arm, not budging an inch.

"Senior, please show some self-respect!"

Lin Ziyao was anxious. "We cannot afford your service!"

"You may not be able to afford it, but this Young Master can."

The beautiful woman blinked, her tone frivolous.

Qin Wushang took a deep breath. "I do not need it."

"Senior, could you please let go?"

"Don't be so heartless."

The beautiful woman not only didn't let go, but pulled his arm even deeper into her embrace.

Two massive snowballs were pressed out of shape.

"I don't have any bad intentions."

Qin Wushang tried to pull his hand away, but he couldn't budge it at all.

Those seemingly soft jade arms possessed astonishing strength, as if he were clamped by iron tongs.

A Great Emperor! This was the imprint of a Great Emperor!

The beautiful woman suddenly leaned in, her breath sweet like orchids, and teased, "Is it that I'm not big enough... do you not like it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

The Prodigies of various races who followed behind were collectively stunned.

Some gasped, some had their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and some had their mouths wide open enough to fit a fist.

Is this the treatment for a Prodigy? Holy crap!

Xiao Zhanqiu, who had followed closely into the Heavenly Tower, paused, his door-panel sword wobbling on his back, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"What kind of treatment is this?"

He widened his eyes, and a heavy, ancient sword shadow appeared within his black pupils.

"Damn, why don't I have such luck?"

He strode forward and shouted at the beautiful woman, "Senior, he doesn't like it, but I do! Come with me instead!"

"I want to touch!"

The beautiful woman turned her head and spat, "In your dreams! You brat still owe me ten Heavenly Mandate points!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Qin Wushang was slightly moved.

Xiao Zhanqiu didn't change his expression, saying with a grin, "What's yours is mine; we don't distinguish between us. Why talk about owing? How distant."

The beautiful woman rolled her eyes, not bothering to pay him any mind.

She looked back at Qin Wushang, the smile in her eyes undiminished, as if she were determined to tease him to the end.

"I won't charge any Heavenly Mandate points... I only ask for the Young Master's affection!"
