Chapter 125: The Ultimate Scum
Before long, Lou Meisha reappeared in the sight of the two, with Mo Yingyue following closely behind.
Upon seeing Gu Shaobai, Mo Yingyue immediately assumed a humble demeanor and bowed respectfully: "Mo Yingyue, Prince of the Mo Pavilion, greets Young Master Gu."
Gu Shaobai’s gaze swept discreetly over Lou Meisha’s curvaceous figure before he waved his hand dismissively. "No need for formalities. The person beside me is Di Yi, the Young Master of the Demon Race."
"Greetings, Young Master of the Demon Race." Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue both bowed to Di Yi.
Beautiful! Simply breathtaking! Di Yi’s eyes were fixed on Lou Meisha’s face, unable to look away, as he swallowed hard in secret.
"I have come here to tell you three things," Gu Shaobai said to Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue.
"Please, Young Master Gu, tell us," Lou Meisha replied respectfully.
Mo Yingyue felt as though he were walking on thin ice. He stood there with his arms hanging down, bowing his head in absolute submission, as insignificant as an ant. This was the son of the Holy Emperor of the Sanctuary; if he wanted to destroy him, it would be as easy as drinking water. More importantly, he had been brought into the Sanctuary by Gu Shaobai for the final assessment, and his fate was entirely in Gu Shaobai’s hands.
Observing the attitude of Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue, Gu Shaobai nodded with satisfaction and continued in a leisurely tone: "Listen well. The first thing I want to tell you is that Princess Donggong Qianxue of the Spring and Autumn Holy Kingdom possesses the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix and can transform into a Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix."
He glanced at Di Yi beside him and continued: "Young Master Di Yi of the Demon Race is at the Fifth Realm of the Extreme Path and is on the verge of breaking through to the Circle Path Realm. Just moments ago, he fought against the Princess of the Spring and Autumn Holy Kingdom. The injuries you see on Di Yi were inflicted by her. Furthermore, that was only because she spared him out of respect for the Demon Race; otherwise, Di Yi would already be a corpse."
"What Brother Gu says is not a word of exaggeration," Di Yi echoed, nodding. "The strength of the Princess of the Spring and Autumn Holy Kingdom is absolutely capable of rivaling a master at the early stage of the Circle Path Realm. I can guarantee it."
"Hiss..." Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue both felt their hearts tremble violently and gasped in shock.
"Is the Princess of the Spring and Autumn Holy Kingdom really that strong?" Lou Meisha’s face turned pale.
"Yes, and what is worse, during the final assessment, the Princess of the Spring and Autumn Holy Kingdom will certainly join forces with the Princess of the Divine Moon Holy Kingdom. You must prepare yourselves mentally."
"They will join forces?" Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue were stunned, their expressions turning bitter. The individual strength of the Spring and Autumn Princess was already so formidable; if she were to join forces with the Divine Moon Princess, how could they possibly win?
"I am certain they will join forces!" Gu Shaobai nodded firmly. After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, the second thing I must tell you is that you must join forces with Xiahou Liang, the Prince of the Cangxue Holy Kingdom in the Northern Territory. I have gathered intelligence that Prince Xiahou Liang’s weapon is an extraordinary artifact called the Six-Gate Demon Portal. It is quite mysterious, and while I do not know exactly what kind of treasure it is, its power is terrifying. Therefore, I believe that if you join forces, you will not be without a chance of victory."
"The Six-Gate Demon Portal..." Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue both pondered, showing curiosity.
"Very well, Young Master Gu, I will follow your arrangements," Mo Yingyue said respectfully. "When the time comes, I will explain the situation regarding the Princesses of the Spring and Autumn and Cangxue Holy Kingdoms to Xiahou Liang; he will surely agree to an alliance."
"Good," Gu Shaobai nodded faintly. "The third thing I want to tell you is that in the final assessment, Mo Yingyue, you are permitted only to win, not to lose!"
"Ah..." Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue both let out a soft cry. Lou Meisha said bitterly, "Young Master Gu, we already understand the strength of the Spring and Autumn Princess, and the Princess of the Cangxue Holy Kingdom is of the Spirit Race and is no ordinary opponent, so..."
"Empress of the Mo Pavilion, rest assured, I will certainly provide my full support," Gu Shaobai said with a faint smile. "No matter how strong Donggong Qianxue and Murong Lan are, I will help you defeat them."
Hearing this, Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue stared at each other, their faces filled with immense joy. Gu Shaobai was the son of the Holy Emperor; with his promise, they felt relieved. Their confidence returned in an instant.
"Then many thanks, Young Master Gu!" A rare, pleasant smile appeared on Lou Meisha’s breathtaking face. "Thank you, Young Master Gu."
"I was the host of the Western Territory’s Fenghua Banquet; it is only natural that I assist you fully," Gu Shaobai said with a wave. His gaze then fell back onto Lou Meisha’s curvaceous figure, and the faint smile on his face turned into a lecherous grin: "Of course, my assistance must come with a reward."
"Ah!" Lou Meisha’s body trembled violently, her face flushing crimson, and she instinctively took two steps back. The meaning behind Gu Shaobai’s words could not have been clearer: his help had to be exchanged for her body.
Mo Yingyue’s expression became incredibly awkward, and a flash of hidden anger flickered in his eyes. *Damn it, this Gu Shaobai is truly evil to the core.* Yet, he dared not act out.
Beside them, Di Yi looked at Gu Shaobai with a strange expression. No wonder he had warned him earlier; it turned out this lecher had been eyeing Empress Lou Meisha all along. He thought he was always infatuated with Tantai Wushuang... what a top-tier scumbag!
"Haha!" Gu Shaobai laughed loudly, feeling immensely satisfied at the sight of Lou Meisha and Mo Yingyue. He loved the feeling of watching others at his mercy, unable to resist; it gave him a sense of superiority as if he were the only one who mattered.
"Di Yi, let’s go." Gu Shaobai gestured to Di Yi and strode away.
"That bastard, I really want to tear him to pieces!" Watching Gu Shaobai and Di Yi walk away, Mo Yingyue clenched his fists, trembling with rage. That Gu Shaobai had leered at Lou Meisha right in front of him was a great humiliation—more painful to him than death itself.
Lou Meisha’s face was also flushed, and she stood there, her graceful, moving body trembling continuously. Her heart was a turmoil of shame, anger, and bitterness.
"Mother, that bastard Gu Shaobai is a beast. What should we do now?" Mo Yingyue asked, gritting his teeth.
After a long time, Lou Meisha let out a long breath, struggling to calm herself. "Yue'er, focus on preparing for the upcoming final assessment. As long as we win and qualify as one of the candidates for the Holy Emperor, I believe Gu Shaobai will not be able to do whatever he wants with us."
"Yes," Mo Yingyue nodded, his eyes suddenly turning fierce. "If I ever get the chance, I will surely tear Gu Shaobai into a thousand pieces!"
