Chapter 96: The Coliseum
[A/N: Aghh! I have headache so no editing and only one chapter today.]
"Please sit down!"
Shen Yu chuckled and wrapped his arms around Ning Xi's waist, making himself a little comfortable as his mind was being distracted by a juicy butt. The strong scent of wine from Ning Xi didn't help in slightest.
To distract himself, Shen Yu looked around the room and then remembered something. He asked, looking at Zhi Yan.
"You were reading some book, right? I also love reading books so it might interest me."
Zhi Yan began panicking as she tried to think of an answer. She didn't want to lie to her Master but she also couldn't say the truth. After all, Ying Yue had clearly told her to never reveal the book to Shen Yu. And who would want to offend her?
Fortunately for her, Ying Yue stepped in for help as she said.
"Master, it's actually female orientated book so I don't think you will like it. But if you want, I can give you one."
Shen Yu was speechless and a terrible memory surfaced in his mind. He shook his head and said, his voice slightly agitated.
"No thanks, I'm good."
He was already traumatized from his past life when he had tried to read. Female oriented book and he had no wish to read something like that again.
'Never ever touching omegaverse!'
Shen Yu shook off those thoughts and focused on his reason for coming here. He looked at Song Junwan and asked.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Song Junwan smiled and explained her plan once again. The ladies had already agreed that they wouldn't lie to Shen Yu, even if it's a small matter but not saying the full truth was different. Although they didn't want to do this too, they knew it was necessary sometimes.
"I see, well if you're good with this then I have no problem. Just know that you can go all out and if something happens I'll handle it. What's the worst that can happen? I'll just put the Divine Harem Sect at the top of Qing Empire by myself."
Shen Yu said, caressing Ning Xi's thighs. He was never a person who would go low key for no reason. If his family was harmed in any way, he wouldn't hesitate to handle it forcibly. The only reason he was letting others handle everything was because he wanted them to grow on their own.
"Master need no worries. I'm not an easy fish to catch otherwise he wouldn't need to use so much plans to bring me down. I will make sure everything is settled with minimal loses."
Lan Ming said, showing her white teeths as her lips tugged upwards.
"As you wish then, what about tomorrow?"
"I have everything handled there, hehe,"
Ning Xi giggled and told him about her plan which made Shen Yu chuckle in helplessness. Still, he liked her idea and patted her head in appreciation.
"That's a good idea."
Ning Xi smiled in bliss as she enjoyed the headpats but then she sensed something and her mood turned sour. She clicked her tongue and took out her communicator.
She sent her Qi in it and received a message which made her frown. She lingered for a while before sighing.
"What happened?"
Shen Yu asked, sensing her bad mood.
"I don't know. The youngest princess of Qing Empire is here for some reason and I will need to go back."
Ning Xi shook her head and answered, still confused by the information she had just received. Why would the princess herself come to a small place like this? Was it really just the destruction of Wind Flower Sect or something else was going on in background?
"I'll help you. Just call me if you need any help."
Shen Yu didn't question much and simply her cheek. After Ning Xi returned the kiss, Shen Yu teleported her back to her room at the Heavenly Sect Federation's branch.
Shen Yu made himself comfortable on the chair and looked at Ying Yue.
"I don't really have much to say to you and likewise to anyone here. But I'll just say this, never ever underestimate your opponents even if they are weak mortals. Expect the unexpected. Second, just know that you're a part of Divine Harem Sect."
Ying Yue nodded alongside others as the shadows around her seemed to be much darker then before.
They chatted a bit more on random topics which had become a habit of Shen Yu. He would always converse with his wives, even on the most boring topics. He didn't want them to look at him as if he was some higher class being but as their husband and communication was important for a healthy relationship.
After the chat, they all left while Ying Yue stayed with Shen Yu saying that she seems a boost before her match and of course Shen Yu was more than happy to give her the boost.
...
The next day, whole Green Silk Town was in a festive mood as streets were filled with people and many vendors. Noises reached everywhere but even then the majority of the populace was gathered in another place.
In the north of the Green Silk Town, there was a enormous Coliseum which was filled to the brim with peoples. Majority of them sat on the sat on the big stone stairs while the important people say in the VIP boxes.
But since this wasn't the Main day of the qualifiers, there weren't many VIPs. Most of the boxes were empty.
The Sects participating in the qualifiers were given a separate space for them, with each Sect having a separate box at the south of the enormous Coliseum.
At the centre of this red Coliseum, there was a giant grass field and at the centre of it was a small stage which looked very small compared to the size of the Coliseum.
Ning Xi was leaning against a wall as she drank her favourite wine from her wine gourd when she received a message. She sighed and threw aside the wine gourd.
She stretched her arms and legs slightly and walked forward, entering the coliseum centre. She walked calmly with an arrogant expression on her face as she faced the thousands of people that bad gathered for the qualifiers.
Her gazed passed through the several VIP boxes and landed on a particular one. She narrowed her eyes at that and when she sensed a gaze at her, smiled. She made a gesture with her hand and then looked away.
Ning Xi then looked at the south of the Coliseum where all the sects had their boxes and spotted Shen Yu, smiling at her. She smiled back and then jumped.
The force behind her step was so much that the enhanced ground trembled, as if it was going to break. The aura of the Peak-Stage Core Formation Realm spread in the whole Coliseum, turning it in a pin drop silence.
She easily landed on the stage made on a tall pedestal and grinned. Her aura was still filling the coliseum with an oppressive pressure that made many people angry with her but everyone kept their mouth shut.
A Peak-Stage Core Formation Realm Cultivator was the last person they wanted to prove, especially someone like Ning Xi.
"Yo, I didn't expect you guys to actually full this whole Coliseum. Quite impressive if I have to say."
Ning Xi said in her normal tone but the voice resounded in the whole Coliseum. It was magnified by a simple circulation of Qi.
The people who came from afar were speechless and looked at Ning Xi with strange gazes. She was the weirdest host they had seen. Normally, a host would be eloquent and calm but she was completely opposite.
"Anyways, I'm not wasting my precious energy on spouting nonsense so we'll come straight to the point. Oh yeah! If you expected a warm welcome or a long winded speech then you can fuck off."
Ning Xi looked around and spoke, looking at the sects. Everytime the sects would be introduced before the qualifiers actually begins but for Ning Xi, that was a complete waste of time.
"And if you have any problems just complain to my higher ups so they don't give any responsibility to me from next time. Seriously, those old geezers needs some brain."
While majority of the people were shocked and dumbfounded, those native to Green Silk Town and who knew her were completely calm. They perfectly knew Ning Xi's personality and knew she would pull something like this, especially if some responsibilities were just thrown at her.
Ning Xi shook her head and said.
"Anyways, we'll directly begin the first round. If you can't even pass that then you don't deserve to be introduced anyways. I'll introduce others tomorrow. Alright, so the first round is Battle Royal. Now, as some of you know it already, the federation always clears up the spiritual Creature in the Tando Woodlands to reduce the chances of the Beast Tide and this is that time so the first round is related to that."
