Chapter 239: Monster Girl
Upon hearing Sun Zhe's words, the girl, who had been full of pride, suddenly had three dark lines appear on her forehead. She had always hated it when others referred to her age, yet Sun Zhe had bluntly called her a kid. How could she not be furious? Just as she was about to explode, it seemed she thought of something else. Instead of getting angry, she began to laugh, her eyes turning crescent-shaped with joy, resembling a smug fox.
Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Sun Zhe maintained a calm expression, but deep down he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of vigilance. The way this girl had silently appeared here was not something an ordinary person could do. Moreover, from what she said, it was clear that she had followed him all the way from Longshan without him noticing at all, which only added to his astonishment.
"Aren't you curious why they want to capture your lover?"
With a teasing glint in her eyes, the girl raised an eyebrow, her light and graceful voice reaching Sun Zhe's ears.
"Do you know?" Sun Zhe frowned slightly and replied casually, but his heart couldn't help but skip a beat at her words.
"Hehe... Are you asking for my help? Your attitude isn't good enough..."
With her eyes slightly narrowed, the girl’s figure flickered and then vanished from sight in an instant. Her ghostly speed was such that even Sun Zhe could only catch a glimpse of a fleeting shadow. Witnessing this made his sense of caution intensify even more.
"If you want to talk, I'm listening; I don't mind." Sun Zhe looked at the charming girl standing before him and said calmly without changing his expression.
"You really are a blockhead; you have no charm at all. I can't understand how anyone would be interested in someone like you."
Seeing Sun Zhe's unyielding demeanor, the charming girl was immediately filled with irritation. If she didn't need this man’s help for something else, she would have loved to knock him down right then and there and stomp on him repeatedly.
"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you now. I can cooperate with you. But listen carefully: when I tell you this news, you must agree to one thing for me. Of course, I won't let you suffer either; how about this as compensation..." As she spoke, a new object suddenly appeared in the girl's right hand.
"This?" Even with Sun Zhe's remarkable composure, he couldn't help but be slightly shaken upon seeing the item. Shock filled his black eyes.
"That knife of yours should also be made from a Divine Blade Fragment, right? If you fuse this part with it, its power will definitely increase further. Of course, all of this depends on whether you agree to my request or if you think you can defeat me and take it by force."
Looking at Sun Zhe with a bright smile, she didn't believe he could resist such a huge temptation. What she held was none other than one-fourth of the Divine Blade that had been unearthed from Wanbingyuan.
Sun Zhe took a deep breath; indeed, he could not refuse such a significant temptation from this girl. However, he never considered taking it by force because the ghostly technique she had just displayed far surpassed his own abilities. Regardless of her strength, if she wanted to leave at that speed, he wouldn't be able to stop her even if he tried to seize it.
"Please finish what you're saying..." Sun Zhe suppressed the excitement in his heart and fixed his gaze on the extraordinary girl before him as he slowly spoke.
"Actually, I don't know much about your lover either; I've only heard a little from that old guy. Since you want to know, I'll tell you." The girl knew how to build suspense and finally got to the main topic after much circling around.
"From what I know, she seems to be the reincarnation of a highly significant figure from Ancient Times, and that figure appears to be related to the safety of the entire Nine Continents Mainland and even the worlds beyond. That's why those people want to capture her," Crimson Lips spoke softly, her enchanting voice flowing from the lips of this alluring girl.
"Impossible! Her strength is merely built up by forcibly stacking pills. If she were truly a great figure from Ancient Times, how could she be so weak?" As soon as the girl finished speaking, Sun Zhe immediately stood up and rebutted with a firm tone.
"Uh... I don't know about that. It's useless to ask me; you can directly ask your lover. She should know her own situation best." Caught off guard by Sun Zhe's retort, the girl's words faltered for a moment. After regaining her composure, she immediately placed her hands on her hips and shouted at Sun Zhe.
However, Sun Zhe fell silent. He had already asked Tang Yuexi about this issue, but received no answer.
Seeing Sun Zhe's somewhat dejected demeanor, the girl surprisingly showed a hint of embarrassment. She had clearly witnessed what happened on the plain earlier and understood Sun Zhe's current feelings.
"Alright, alright. When we return to Thunder Continent, I'll help you ask that old fellow about it, okay?"
"No need. Her matters are no longer related to me; you don't have to ask anything for me... By the way, are you from Thunder Continent?" Sun Zhe suddenly realized and asked in surprise.
"Am I not from Thunder Continent? Hmph! I am the youngest Grand Elder of Yuling Sect and also the second star on the Star Ranking List!" At this point, the girl's head immediately lifted high as she spoke proudly.
"You are that Monster from Yuling Sect?"
Sun Zhe's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the girl before him, his astonishment no less than when he saw a quarter of the Divine Blade Light Sphere, perhaps even more.
Yuling Sect is one of the four Sixth-Rank Sects in Thunder Continent. Among the Four Major Sects, its strength is not particularly strong. However, among this generation's young disciples, Yuling Sect's First Disciple stands out above the other three sects. Even Sword Pavilion's Sword Spirit Body wielder Sword Flood and Golden Thunder Sect's Descendant of the Thunder God Thunder Abyss cannot compare.
This First Disciple is exceptionally talented; while it takes others years to cultivate their skills successfully, she only needs a short time. While others require long periods of comprehension to break through, for her it is as easy as eating or drinking. She claimed the title of First Disciple in just one year and could defeat Yukong in three moves. Very few people know her real name, so most refer to her as Monster.
However, Sun Zhe never expected that this renowned Monster from Yuling Sect would be such an enchanting girl; it was truly hard to believe.
"Monster?" The girl wrinkled her cute nose and a hint of displeasure flashed across her pretty face as she said seriously,
"My name is Ling Yue. Calling me Monster sounds so unpleasant; please don't refer to me that way anymore."
Now that he knew her identity, Sun Zhe felt somewhat reassured. When Wanbing Yuanshen Dao was unearthed, a quarter of it was taken by Yuling Sect. It wouldn't be too difficult for Ling Yue to obtain that quarter of the Divine Weapon fragment. The old fellow she mentioned was probably Yuling Sect's Grand Elder Turtle Spirit Boy, who is also Ling Yue's master. Given Turtle Spirit Boy's status as a top-tier powerhouse in the continent, it was normal for Ling Yue to know things that outsiders did not.
"Since that's the case, we can discuss our transaction now. However, let me make it clear: if I feel that things are too dangerous or there are other special reasons, I may not agree with you. Although I really want that quarter of the Divine Weapon fragment in your hands," Sun Zhe said with a serious expression as he addressed Ling Yue.
"Hmph, coward, I've already arranged everything. This time, I just need you to help me kill someone. As long as we join forces, there will definitely be no danger."
Killing someone sounded casual in Ling Yue's tone, without a hint of tension. It was clear that she was not new to murder; for Sun Zhe, killing was not a big deal either, as he had walked a path of slaughter. However, hearing such words from a girl who had not yet turned fifteen carried a different weight.
After learning her identity, Sun Zhe had long since labeled her as a Monster. Hearing her speak like this did not surprise him at all; after all, Monsters must have their peculiarities. However, the fact that Ling Yue was willing to pay such a high price to invite Sun Zhe indicated that the target was certainly not an ordinary person.
"What kind of person are you targeting?" Sun Zhe frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Ling Yue's description.
"A powerful individual from the Water Cloud Continent, who has comprehended the water attribute Law and is at the mid-stage of the Fifth Stage. But that's not the main issue; the most troublesome part is that he has a beast companion at the same Fifth Stage level, and it's an extraordinary creature with Dragon Bloodline."
Once she finished speaking, Ling Yue looked at Sun Zhe. In reality, she had no other options. If it were just the opponent alone, she would have confidence in dealing with him. However, the beast companion made things difficult for her; a Fifth Stage beast was already quite formidable, and one with Dragon Bloodline was at the pinnacle of Fifth Stage Monsters—ordinary Fifth Stage cultivators were simply no match for it.
She rarely interacted with others and had few friends. This time, she needed help from someone whose strength was not too weak but also not too strong to find. Sun Zhe from Thunder Continent happened to catch her eye. After watching his battle on the plains, both his strength and character satisfied her; otherwise, she wouldn't have followed him all this way.
"I can agree to help you, but you must first give me the Divine Blade Fragment!"
Sun Zhe's eyes flickered before he ultimately made this decision.
