Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 141 - 57: Fake (Second Update)

"We’re in trouble."

The thought flashed through Zhu Qingya’s mind, but her body reacted faster. Stepping into the Seven Star Steps, she frantically attempted to escape.

But Su Jie wouldn’t let her escape so easily.

"Darling, please turn around."

He slapped the red and gold Sword Nourishing Gourd at his waist, and a white beam of light shot out.

The White Bone Sky Slaying Sword sprang forward, rapidly approaching Zhu Qingya.

"Watch my Vajra Bracelet, hit!"

Hearing the noise behind her, Zhu Qingya shook her delicate, jade-like wrist, and the golden bracelet on her left wrist flew out, expanding in midair and knocking the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword away.

With that impact, the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword actually fell to the ground, its spirit light fading as though it turned into a mundane object.

But it only took two or three seconds for the spirit light to surge out again, the sword vibrating as it prepared to launch itself once more.

Zhu Qingya was startled and hurriedly operated the Vajra Bracelet.

"Retrieve it, quick, retrieve this broken sword."

The Vajra Bracelet radiated brilliantly, as if turning into a magnet, its terrifying suction force directly pulling the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword towards it.

"Darling, please turn around."

By this time, Su Jie had exited the mansion, raising the Sword Nourishing Gourd. How could this girl have so many treasures?

"Darling, please stand down."

Zhu Qingya stood holding the Vajra Bracelet, facing off against her opponent.

From a distance, their eyes locked and Su Jie scoffed, "Shameless! In ancient times, there were divine beings who could, with one Vajra Bracelet, transform all things, weigh billions, strike down many magical treasures and divine items, and swallow myriad weapons. Your Vajra Bracelet is clearly a fake, yet you dare boldly command ’stand down’."

Zhu Qingya’s bright eyes widened with indignation, "Shameless yourself, where do you get off? In ancient times, seven Sky-reaching Gourds were born and turned into treasures by divine beings, each with immense power.

The spell you shouted is clearly one for a Sky-reaching Gourd, yet this lousy Sword Nourishing Gourd is miles apart from it, and you dare claim the same incantation as the real Sky-reaching Gourd."

"Fake."

"Yours is the counterfeit." Experience more on empire

"One of mine is worth ten of yours."

"Watch me take all your treasures."

Zhu Qingya and Su Jie hurled insults across the air, this scene of heated exchange and magical artifact clash was fortunate to occur in a secluded area, otherwise, it would certainly alarm the elders of the Sect.

Even so, there were servants inside the Su Family Mansion who heard the commotion and decided to come out to check.

In the midst of their clash, Su Jie’s Sword Nourishing Gourd seemed to be faintly losing, the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword uncontrollably flying towards the Vajra Bracelet.

A smug smile appeared on Zhu Qingya’s delicate face, but just as she was about to laugh, she suddenly felt something crawling on her ankle.

Looking down, she saw the eerie and terrifying figure of the Thousand-Handed Centipede climbing up her leg.

Ah!

Zhu Qingya turned pale with fright, jumping erratically on the ground trying to shake the Thousand-Handed Centipede off.

The pale corpse hands of the Thousand-Handed Centipede clung to Zhu Qingya’s legs, proving not so easily shaken off.

While struggling, Zhu Qingya felt a tug at her collar and suddenly, her feet were off the ground.

It turns out, Su Jie had somehow got behind her and was lifting her up by her collar.

Zhu Qingya wanted to struggle further, but a word from Su Jie calmed her down.

"Miss, you don’t want to cause a big scene and bring the Sect elders here, do you?"

Zhu Qingya made a face of grievance, but faced with this threat, she really didn’t dare to move rashly anymore.

If their fight were to create a big disturbance and bring the Sect elders, she would undoubtedly be the one to suffer.

Even though she was confident she could escape using a Teleportation Talisman, her plans would be ruined by then.

"Watch her."

Having the Thousand-Handed Centipede keep an eye on Zhu Qingya, Su Jie walked to the other side.

Several servants, upon seeing Su Jie holding the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword, nervously knelt to the ground.

"Young... Young Master, we heard noises and came out to check, not knowing it was you practicing."

"I don’t like being watched while I practice, mess up again and I’ll chop off your heads."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The servants were so frightened that they scurried back, rolling and crawling. With the methods of a demon cultivator, taking lives on a whim, these ordinary people were fortunate just to be alive and not used for practicing demon techniques, and they did not dare to test whether the demon cultivator’s sword was sharp or not.

After today’s incident, they would never dare to be so curious again.

By the time Su Jie returned to where Zhu Qingya was, the girl had her eyes tightly closed, since the Thousand-Handed Centipede was quietly laying on her chest.

She looked very scared of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, her body tensed and daring not to move an inch.

"Quickly get your pet off of me."

Upon hearing footsteps, Zhu Qingya opened her eyes, and once again locked gaze with the cold insect eyes of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, involuntarily screaming once more.

Su Jie waved his hand, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede crawled back into his sleeve.

Sitting in front of Zhu Qingya, Su Jie propped his chin with his left hand and scrutinized her back and forth, directly exposing her identity and said, "Spill the beans, Ning Xinyue, what were you thinking daring to come to Ghost Ridge Palace to trouble me?"

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Zhu Qingya blinked her eyes, pretending to be confused.

"Stop pretending."

Su Jie curled his lips, then reached out with his right hand to touch Zhu Qingya’s cheek.

"What are you doing?"

Zhu Qingya’s face flushed red.

"I’m checking what kind of human skin mask you’re wearing, making your disguise look so convincing."

The girl hastily dodged Su Jie’s hand, and seeing that she could no longer hide it, she reluctantly rubbed her own cheeks and muttered, "What are you talking about, as if something like that could fool the Secret Realm, I cultivate the Four Symbols Unification Divine Scripture, which can change one’s physique, appearance, and hide spiritual power."

As she spoke, her appearance began to change.

A girl with a face even more beautiful and pure, with picturesque eyebrows, big watery eyes, charming like a blossoming rose, appeared before him.

It was indeed Ning Xinyue, the mysterious girl Su Jie had rescued from a slave trading ship in the past.

"No more pretending."

Su Jie pinched Ning Xinyue’s cheeks, full of collagen, and the touch was as good as ever.

"Hmph."

Ning Xinyue puffed up her cheeks and hummed, saying nothing.

"I am, after all, your lifesaver, and this is how you repay me?"

"Is it common to rescue someone by kidnapping and threatening them...?"

"That was a fair trade, voluntary on both sides; is your life not worth a few Cultivation Techniques?"

"... "

Ning Xinyue was at a loss for words, but still felt annoyed inside.

"Nothing more to say? Leave Ghost Ridge Palace right now. I know you must have some escape Magical Treasure or talisman on you. Leave now and I’ll pretend I never saw you tonight."

Su Jie withdrew his hand. Ning Xinyue was no simple girl; her confident intrusion into Ghost Ridge Palace was clear proof that she had a safety net.

"I can’t leave yet,"

Ning Xinyue shook her head like a rattle, adamant about not leaving.
