646 An Offer

A figure was traversing an upward slope, covered in snow.

The even sound of footsteps trampling the crispy snow was accompanied by the howling of harsh winds, and the soft rustling as the grains of snow carried by those winds slid over the hardened snow on the ground.

The vision further than a few meters was covered by this blizzard, and only vague dark shapes allowed to guess that the figure was amid high mountainous peaks.

Neither the snowflakes, nor the wind, however, reached the figure, and its feet did not go deep into the snow either, leaving only shallow traces unlike what one would expect in such a region.

"Suu~ haa~...", Wu Long stopped to close his eyes and take a deep breath of the crispy cold fresh air, with a light smile touching his lips.

This was the Northernmost tip of the Cloud Piercing Continent, which, much like the Gutian Kingdom of the Azure Eagle Continent, was shaped by the Great Calamity of past, as the blast brought upon it the bulk of mass of the former continent.

Unlike Gutian Kingdom. however, this region was already elevated even before the Great Calamity, and thus after a massive chunk of landmass was further piled onto it, the level of elevation here was much higher.

Despite him being in a completely different environment, the end of the Cloud Piercing Sect only happened three hours ago. Wu Long went for a detour while the aftermath was being dealt with, as there was a long procedure of looting and dismantling of what remained of the Sect, that he did not have to take part in personally.

"We already had a greeting, did we not?", he spoke out into the blizzard after opening his eyes again, his smile growing wider.

"We have, though I wouldn't call our first meeting nice", a soft female voice, pleasant to the ear, with a tinge of lazy note to it reached his ears, not coming from anywhere in particular.

"Hahaha, well, the circumstances dictate the interaction. Even if that interaction turned out great for you, had I not the power to resist, it would not be so delightful for me", Wu Long lightly laughed at the hint of sulking in the voice.

"I seem to recognize you... which is odd... this place is not somewhere that someone I know should be...", the voice shifted tones, becoming a bit thoughtful, and Wu Long's smile turned into a grin.

"I am pleased to have left an impression on you, Your Highness. Though I must say that our meeting in the Palace of the Beast God Sovereign all those years ago was fleeting so I am surprised you remember even if vaguely", Wu Long chuckled.

"...!", a strange feeling spread, as the voice did not say anything, but the whole blizzard around Wu Long shook.

"Hmm?! Mmm?!?! A~hahahaha~!", the tone of the voice became first full of confusion, and then a delighted laughter shook the surroundings, as the blizzard around Wu Long seemed to resonate with the voice.

"Hahahaha! Of course! The God of Pleasure, Wu Long", the voice spoke with a tinge of amusement, though the note of laziness in it never left, as it added "No wonder you could push me away from your mind, and my charms won't work on you either..."

"My my my! To be visited by such a celebrity here of all places... what an honor! Ahahaha! To what do I owe the pleasure? Pardon the pun, ahahaha!", the blizzard in front of Wu Long swirled and revealed first vaguely and then clearly a gorgeous woman with platinum blond hair and pink glowing eyes with vertical pupils.

Her figure could be described with one word as 'seductive', as if every curve and line that shaped her was designed to awaken the most primal desires of a man.

The woman's smile was bewitching as a glint of mischief could be seen in her eyes. And a vaguely strange feeling could be felt when looking at her, as if having a lucid dream instead of standing in reality.

"Hmm?", but as she revealed herself she noticed something about Wu Long, and her eyebrows went up.

"What is this? Peak Core Reformation Realm?", she chuckled as her vision blurred to the side, as if the mist of snow was carried by the wind, and reappeared right beside Wu Long, almost touching his ear with her plump pink lips from behind him as she whispered, the ends of her hair and hems of her robes blurry and disappearing into nothingness.

"My my! How the mighty Disruptor of Order have fallen... ahahaha! What's the matter? Please do tell, I am ve~ry curious...", she spoke, appearing slightly blurry on the other side, her image fleeting as if a mirage swimming through the blizzard.

"Not going to deny it, and it is not easy to explain, but are we not in the same boat regarding falling from grace?", he chuckled looking to the left where she last appeared, and her image disappeared the moment his words fell.

A warm yellowish light of the sun fell onto Wu Long's cheek, as the harsh cold wind turned gentle and warm, the storm of snowflakes turning into tender pink petals of flowers, as the whole mountain around made of brown-colored rocks was filled with blooming trees.

He turned to the front where he saw a giant fox with platinum-blond fur and pink eyes, sitting on an elevated spot, multiple fluffy tails swaying behind it, looking down at him as rays of warm sunlight went through the cloudy mist around and behind the fox, giving it a halo of light.

"The same boat? I struggle to see the parallels", her voice revealed a very subtle arrogance and indignation at the comparison, "You may have a powerful Soul, but with that cultivation you cannot release even a thousandth of its potential. Do you really think you could compare with me?"

"Come on, Your Highness, you cannot be so naive to think I came here without standing a chance against you?", Wu Long shook his head with a wry smile, placing his hands behind him in a leisurely pose.

"The moment I heard from the Tree Spirit that there was an Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox here I knew that I could not approach this continent without significant preparations.

Reaching Core Formation Realm was a must among those, since in this Realm, first I have much more control over my Soul Seam, and second I can use the Sublime Heavenly Sequence"

The eyes of the fox widened at his words that implied he came here knowing about her presence. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"You...", she revealed an apprehensive look, vigilantly looking as he started walking to the side.

"Coupled with the fact that my resistance to Soul attacks and manipulation is as strong as in my prime, I only needed that little edge in the Soul Power that I could use, to stand at least a fighting chance.

However, I also knew that there was no way that a Mythical Beast of your caliber would be stranded here in this Fractured World with no reason, requesting the Dew of Life from a not-particularly powerful Tree Spirit every time it could produce one"

His words caused her pink eyes with vertical pupils to focus on him more and more.

"And as soon as you entered my dream I confirmed that my guess was correct and that you were not in the best condition yourself, thus my preparations were overblown. While outwardly you seem to be in the same cultivation as you were before, your Soul Bead is extensively damaged, and you're not much more powerful than a Two-Tailed Celestial Fox"

As he was speaking a bit of panic appeared in her eyes.

She realized that her bluff was seen through.

The one standing before her was a terrifying man, and despite her outward nonchalant attitude she knew well that she could not underestimate him just because some unexplainable by her knowledge circumstances caused him to appear before her with a Mortal cultivation and a spec of his former power.

He was known for exactly that, after all.

Known and infamous for being the one to overturn all norms and always come out victorious no matter how impossible the odds of him winning seemed before that.

There were many times a powerful Family or Sect was said to be the one to finally end him, that he finally messed with someone he should have not messed with, but only ruins remain in their places now.

No one dared to underestimate the God of Pleasure in the Seven Boundless Worlds, for the God of Slaughter was still living in the memories of all seven of them.

"I might have been a bit high-handed in my approach before", she spoke, as her image blurred and elegant bare legs stepped onto the stone she was sitting on in her fox form before, no longer daring to look at him from so high up.

Her white robes with pink patterns hugged her curvaceous figure, and she looked not much different from the woman he saw in the blizzard, but there were fox ears above her head that slightly moved as she spoke and eight fluffy tails swaying in all directions behind her.

Her pink glowing eyes looked at him with apprehension and vigilance, as well as now visible fear.

"Haha, don't be so on guard, Your Highness. I might have come here specifically to meet you, and prepared to have a fighting chance, but that was only because I wanted to speak on equal terms", Wu Long smiled turning toward her, and the next moment his foot stepped on the same stone as hers.

"To speak about what?", she looked at him with surprise as he did not seem to hold her high and mighty attitude before against her.

"I have a lucrative proposal for you. Now that I know your identity, it is an even sweeter one that I initially planned to give", he chuckled as she revealed a look of surprise and curiosity.
