Jun Moxie's Arrangements
Jun Moxie's Arrangements
As for him going up to the Heaven Saint Palace to retrieve it himself? That was an exceedingly difficult choice as well. It sounded nice; you won the battle, so you can naturally come to claim the prize. But once he reached the Heaven Saint Palace, what would he do if those bunch of sneaky fellows turned around and refused to acknowledge him? Who knew how many undying old monsters were waiting in that mysterious place? What kind of mysterious methods would they have?
Things like falling out and turning their backs on promises was something that the three Holy Lands had done countless times… Jun Moxie did not believe a single word of those people's promises at all…
Although Jun Moxie was arrogant, he was not conceited to the point where he felt that he could contend against the entire Heaven Saint Palace! It was the same for the current him, who'd advanced greatly in strength as well!
"Since you've won, could it be that you're not allowed to collect your price?" The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master said coldly. "Jun brat, there's no need to be so conflicted. This Young Master was a judge of this match, and I'll naturally also accompany you to the Heaven Saint Palace to collect that Exquisite Lotus, completing the rules of the competition! This Young Master would like to see if they dare to not give it to you!"
He'd been looking coldly from the side all along, and although Qu Wuhui's words were fair, there seemed to be another meaning hidden within, causing him to feel incredibly frustrated. Moreover, Jun Moxie was the successor of his benefactor. Thus, he stood out and interfered. With the current situation, it was not exactly unreasonable for him to interfere anyway.
Jun Moxie was somewhat touched as he turned his head. "This junior thanks Senior Fourteenth Young Master for your kind gesture. However… with your status, it might be somewhat awkward if you went to the Heaven Saint Palace."
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had been the greatest enemy of the Heaven Saint Palace all along. If he went there now, wouldn't it be extremely awkward? The Heaven Saint Palace would most likely mobilize all their strength to make him stay there forever!
Jun Moxie was never one to owe anyone a favor, so how would he be willing to let Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master take such great risks for his sake?
"Forget it then, you make the decision. It's indeed somewhat… inconvenient for this Young Master to go there." The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master understood his meaning and did not force the issue: "Only, in my experience, with the reputation of the Heaven Saint Palace, they would not necessarily renegade on a bet with a brat like you."
Jun Moxie nodded his head with a light chuckle as he turned to Qu Wuhui. "Since Senior Fourteenth Young Master has put it that way, I will follow you to Heaven Saint Palace!"
Qu Wuhui's brows shot up as he raised a thumb. "Good! Great courage! That's what a man should be like!"
Jun Moxie scoffed lowly in his heart as he thought to himself. It's just that I have the absolute confidence in retreating without harm; not that I have such big balls to use my life to bet on you honoring your promise…
After that, he returned to the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer side and looked at Mei Xueyan. "Xueyan, I'm going to claim the Exquisite Lotus now and also do some other stuff while I'm there… You've been away from Heavenly Punishment for quite some time already, and it's time you went back to take a look as well. I'll have to trouble you to bring everyone back with you first."
"Alright. Then, you… must be careful." Mei Xueyan looked at him worriedly.
"Relax; don't you know me? As long as I want to leave… is there anything that can hold me back?" Jun Moxie said in a low voice as he winked sneakily.
Remembering that mysterious pagoda of his, Mei Xueyan relaxed and nodded with a light smile.
"When you return this time, you must seize the chance to upgrade everyone's strength quickly… Just use the two pieces of spirit vein fragments I gave you, and according to the method I taught you, just lightly scrape a layer of powder off the top, and mix it with water to drink. Although it's not comparable to the Golden Jade Fluid, it's still the essence of the Spirit Stone Immortal Milk. Remember, you must not consume too much, or the dangers will be huge." Jun Moxie instructed carefully.
"Got it, I'll take notice of it."
"Also, once you return, quickly bring Grandfather and Third Uncle's strengths up as well. Remember, the two of them must be prioritized before everyone else; apart from the two of us, their strengths need to be the strongest among the entire Jun Family! As for the pills, just allocate them as you deem fit…"
"En, I understand." Mei Xueyan nodded seriously. She could also understand Jun Moxie's intentions very well. Although Jun Zhantian and Jun Wuyi's cultivation were considered formidable in the mundane world, they were considered relatively weak in Heavenly Punishment. On top of that, they were the most important characters in the Jun Family. If they continued to lead the strong with their weak strength, even with Jun Moxie being a deterrent at the top, it would not be good in the long term…
Thus, the most important matter right now was to raise the abilities of Jun Zhantian and Jun Wuyi first! Even if the issue of their strengths were not mentioned, this upgrade would be important for extending their longevity.
"To be honest, I really miss Xiaoyi, Qinghan, and the rest, and mother as well…" Mei Xueyan's face flushed slightly as she said.
"Relax, in terms of prestige, your position in the Jun Family is higher than mine… when you return this time, they will definitely hound you and not let you go. At that time, we'll see if you still miss them…" Jun Moxie had a strange smile on his face as he said this.
These were not empty words at all. Ever since Mei Xueyan sacrificed herself to save them, the entire Jun Family was completely convinced of this future daughter in law. Mei Xueyan's popularity in the Jun Family had definitely reached a terrifying level…
With all the preparations completed, Jun Moxie was just about to turn when he saw Baili Luoyun coming over slowly, his mouth opening and closing as if he didn't know what to say.
Rarely seeing such a conflicted look on the face of this great assassin, Jun Moxie smiled and asked, "Luo Yun, what's the matter?"
"Erm… It's like this, Young Master. This time, I wish to stay a few more days in Chrysanthemum City to take care of some… private matters. So I'd like to ask Young Master first." Baili Luoyun stammered.
"This kid saw his old lover, so he's anxious to find her!" Leng Ao, who was standing on the side, laughed. In an instant, Baili Luoyun's ears turned red.
"Wow! Really?" Jun Moxie cried out in shock as he ran up and hooked his arm around Baili Luoyun's neck as if they were good brothers. "That's great news ah. What's the situation? What's her name? What does she look like? Fat or skinny? Tall or short? Which family is she from? How heavy is she? What's her three measurements? Do you have any nudes… keke…"
Baili Luoyun was instantly stumped, and he begged, "Young Master, please let me off…"
"She's called Zhan Mengdie…"
"The Zhan Family?" Jun Moxie furrowed his brows slightly. He seemed to remember having met her briefly before. This girl's appearance was pretty, and she was an outstanding beauty. Only… he'd just killed the Zhan Family's old ancestor a moment ago, and Baili Luoyun was actually talking about a match in the Zhan Family. Although he wouldn't mind, the other side…
"Young Master can rest your mind at rest, I know what I have to do." Baili Luoyun's awkward face turned into a pained expression. "I will tell her the truth, and if she chooses her family, and to become enemies with Young Master… I will not force the matter, and we will both become strangers… but if she chooses me…"
A few beads of sweat rolled down Baili Luoyun's face as he mustered his courage and bowed lowly. "If she ultimately chooses me… may Young Master… give us your blessing!"
"Don't worry! A hundred years of effort lead to crossing by the same ferry, a thousand years of effort lead to sleep on the same pillow. If she's meant to be your wife, she will definitely be yours… Zhan Mubai might be the old ancestor of the Zhan Family, but he's a person from several hundred years ago. Zhan Mengdie might not have that many feelings for him, right?"
Jun Moxie patted Baili Luoyun's shoulder and encouraged, "Luo Yun, everything in life depends on the effort of the person; where there's a will, there's a way. Go for it! The matter might not even be as serious as you think it is! A wife should be something to snatch to obtain! It doesn't matter if she's willing or not; once the rice is cooked… where will she run with a big stomach? Keke, if not for me being unable to defeat my wife and my heart being too soft to go hard on her, I would have already…"
All of a sudden, he felt a stinging sensation on his ears, and Mei Xueyan's jade-like hand was tightly pinching onto his ears. Her face red and furious, she asked in a dangerous voice, "You would have what? What was that about being unable to defeat and going hard?"
Jun Moxie begged for mercy repeatedly and stammered, "I-I meant… I would have… I would have…" His eyes turned as he searched his brain urgently. "I would have confessed my love to you long ago ah! You're so formidable, and I didn't dare to confess because I was afraid of getting beaten up by you! Are you very touched? Hehe.. hur hur… kekeke…" He laughed strangely as he coughed.
The entire camp was filled with laughter and as he laughed, Baili Luoyun instantly felt much better in his heart.
"Luo Yun, go on them. The rest of us support you! Don't be overcautious and indecisive; you should go and grasp your own happiness!" Mei Xueyan advised in a gentle voice.
"Many thanks… My Lady." Baili Luoyun said with gratefulness. This single 'My Lady' caused Mei Xueyan's face to redden, and Jun Moxie's heart also whooped with joy…
"Why don't you bring a few more people along. Let Leng Ao accompany you, and also choose a section of people from the Heaven Destroyer Team." Jun Moxie said in a domineering manner. "Whoever dares to snatch your wife, just beat them up!"
Everyone felt sweat pouring from their brows when they heard this. This Young Master was simply a classic hooligan. The title of the number one debauchee in the legends actually had some truth to it…
After settling the matter, everyone discussed for a bit more before everything was settled.
Jun Moxie looked at Mei Xueyan bringing everyone and leaving rapidly like a patch of dark cloud. On the other side, Baili Luoyun brought a few men with him and went in the opposite direction into the city.
The intense and bloody battlefield from a moment ago was now completely silent.
Jun Moxie turned around and saw the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master standing akimbo, standing sternly like a manager supervising his employees. Qiao Ying and Cheng Yinxiao both stood at the side, watching the show. As for Qu Wuhui, he was crawling along on the ground with his butt high in the sky, and his face was extremely aggrieved as he dug at the ground with his sword as if he was looking for something…
"What's going on?" Jun Moxie looked at the 20, 30 earthworms squirming on the ground and asked with confusion.
Hearing him ask, Qu Wuhui's face turned red and he gritted his teeth, continuing to dig without a word. His face was filled with an ugly look of aggrievement and pain, and he seemed like he wanted to cry but had no tears…
Even if his chrysanthemum had been abused by a hundred Mystic Beasts… it shouldn't be able to cause a Guardian to display such an expression, right? Jun Moxie felt quite shocked in his heart.
