134: Chapter 134 The Pitiful Su Qingtang
This time, Big Teacher Su finally mustered some courage, reaching out to rest a hand on Little Teacher Su's shoulder. "I am willing."
After saying this, she pushed Little Teacher Su to the side.
Although the force was not heavy and the speed was not fast, the movement revealed a sense of determination.
"Sister, do you know what you are saying?"
She certainly knew; if she didn't elevate her relationship with Yun Zhuo soon, she probably wouldn't even be able to get a taste of the soup later.
"I know. As you said, it's just forming a contract, not finding a wife, right?"
"You?"
Little Teacher Su couldn't win an argument against her sister, so she turned to look at Yun Zhuo. "You brat, I'll settle the score regarding Di Zhenzhen first; we'll talk about my sister later."
Yun Zhuo smiled. "Actually, you don't need to be jealous of just her alone."
"Why? Could it be that you actually contracted Jiang Jingjing too?"
"That's right."
"What? You... I... I'll fight you!"
"Wait a second."
"No waiting." Little Teacher Su lunged forward, opening her mouth to bite.
As Little Teacher Su lunged, Yun Zhuo quickly pressed a hand against her forehead.
"Let me go! I'm going to fight you today no matter what."
Little Teacher Su grabbed Yun Zhuo's hand, tilting her head and baring her teeth; she wouldn't give up until she managed to take a bite out of him.
Big Teacher Su hurried forward to pull Little Teacher Su back. "Little Yuan, listen to what Xiao Zhuo has to say first. I want to see exactly who he has contracted today."
Big Teacher Su also glared at Yun Zhuo, her eyes red, looking as if she had suffered a tremendous grievance.
Her long eyelashes were clearly trembling, yet she deliberately pursed her lips, not letting them droop too much, fearing that if she lowered her head, the pool of light gathering in her eyes would spill over.
Yun Zhuo had originally wanted to tease them a bit more, but seeing Big Teacher Su's pitiful appearance, even a heart of stone would have softened into tenderness; he simply couldn't bring himself to be harsh.
So, he held up one finger.
The two sisters were stunned and said in unison, "There's one more?"
Yun Zhuo shook his head. "Not one person; it's one village, 1,578 War Princesses."
"You..."
The two sisters were stunned at the same time. They had originally wanted to get angry, but once they thought about the fact that Yun Zhuo had contracted a whole village of 1,578 War Princesses.
For some reason, Little Teacher Su didn't feel as angry anymore.
Even if this guy Xiao Zhuo was a philanderer, he couldn't possibly find 1,578 wives, right?
Those War Princesses were more like his subordinates than his lovers.
Big Teacher Su, however, became anxious. She now had to compete with 1,578 people. Wanting to stand out from 1,578 people—this was going straight from Easy Mode to Hell mode.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at her sister.
It was all this girl's fault. If it weren't for her meddling earlier, she could have formed a death pact with Xiao Zhuo sooner and grabbed the initiative. Now, even that initiative had been snatched away by that woman, Di Zhenzhen.
No, it had been snatched away by those 1,578 women.
"Are you sure? You can contract that many War Princesses?"
Little Teacher Su, having come to her senses, was still somewhat skeptical.
Although she only taught literature, she had never heard of anyone being able to contract so many War Princesses at once; four at most was the absolute limit.
Not to mention whether one's Mental Energy could allow five War Princesses to transform, the War Spirit Master's own corrosion energy furnace couldn't support the Corrosion Energy conversion for five War Princesses.
In other words, once you contract five War Princesses, either the fifth War Princess suffers an aberration, or all four War Princesses suffer an aberration together.
Yun Zhuo nodded. "Didn't you say before that my corrosion energy furnace was very strong? Didn't expect it to be this strong, right? Actually, I didn't expect it either."
"Alright, alright, Xiao Zhuo, hurry up and upgrade my talent."
Big Teacher Su was already getting impatient.
This time, no matter what her sister said, she was determined not to give way anymore. If she let her have her way again, she wouldn't even have a foothold left.
Little Teacher Su subconsciously looked at her sister, wondering why she had suddenly become so impatient; this didn't seem like her.
Suddenly, she heard her sister say, "What are you looking at? Better to benefit one of our own than to benefit others; that's what you said, too."
"I... I didn't say anything. Really, why are you getting angry?"
Yun Zhuo smiled. "Is it worth it for you two sisters to be unhappy over such a small matter?"
Big Teacher Su thought to herself: It used to be a small matter, but now it's a huge matter. If I don't take the initiative, it's going to be Game Over.
"Then let's start quickly."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Mm-hmm." Big Teacher Su looked at Yun Zhuo, her eyes filled with anticipation.
If her sister weren't present, she would have loved to lunge at him, grab his hand, and tell him to hurry up and stop talking nonsense.
If they wasted any more time, what if something else went wrong in the middle?
【Ding! Forced contract modification complete. Activating inlay slot.】
【Ding! inlay slot one successfully activated. War Princess talent upgraded to Saint Rank. Activating the next inlay slot requires 10 billion corrosion crystals. Continue activation?】
A pillar of white light shot up into the sky from Big Teacher Su's body.
She subconsciously looked up at the sky. In the indigo sky, the pillar of light rising from her body was so brilliant and eye-catching.
But why was it different from Di Zhenzhen's red pillar of light earlier? Why was hers white?
【Ding! inlay slot one successfully activated. War Princess talent upgraded to Imperial Rank. Activating the next inlay slot requires 100 billion corrosion crystals. Continue activation?】
【Ding! Insufficient balance detected. Please top up as soon as possible.】
Before Su Qingtang could react, another pillar of golden light shot into the sky.
The sky before dawn still retained the heaviness of the night, but the horizon had already revealed a very faint cold blue. Before the first ray of morning light appeared, a pillar of golden light tore through this heavy dark blue, shooting straight into the clouds; it was truly magnificent.
Coupled with the fact that Nun Village was on a mountaintop, this golden light, like a pillar supporting the sky, was clearly visible to the naked eye from hundreds of miles away.
The city ruins outside the village were even illuminated by this golden light, covering the dilapidated buildings, messy rubble, and ruined roads in a layer of gold.
The Rattlesnake Adventure Group, which had originally intended to sneak near Nun Village during the final darkness before dawn, now had their bodies looking as if they had been painted with a layer of gold lacquer, like the bronze men of the Shaolin Temple.
"Leader, is this the final warning from the Goddess of Nun Village to us?"
Liu Youcai looked at Tian Wei, terrified.
Then, the third-in-command, Ma Biao, also said with a trembling heart, "Leader, why don't we just go back? Let's not get involved in this."
At this moment, Tian Wei only felt his throat dry, as if it were smoking.
He subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Damn it, money was a good thing, but if you didn't have your life to spend it, no amount of money was of any use.
Even if this trip was for nothing, it was better than losing his life.
As for the Blazing Fire Adventure Group and the Wild Wolf Adventure Group making a fortune, if they had the ability to earn it, let them. I don't have that ability.
Thinking this, he prepared to nod, but at this moment, Inoue Maru behind him wouldn't have it.
