Chapter 137: Prayer Witchcraft, Communicating with Deities Reveals an Ominous Sign (Part 1)
Soon, Devi looked away from the area where Yi Beidou and Li Taiyu were fighting.
He could sense auras rising from all across Modu.
’Things are really starting to get lively.’
A smile touched the corners of Devi’s lips.
It wasn’t every day you got to see a scene like this. It really made his special trip down from the heavens worthwhile.
「The western district of Modu.」
Beside a coffee shop on a commercial street, a man and a woman were sitting at an outdoor table, slowly savoring their coffee and eating dessert.
Both were Caucasian. The woman was at least 1.9 meters tall, with an incredible figure—curvy in all the right places.
She wore a pair of high-top black combat boots, tight-fitting jeans, a form-fitting turtleneck, and a cropped business blazer, giving her an air of cold beauty and mature charm.
Her blonde hair fell in waves, her red lips were like flames, and her features were even more exquisite than a famous Western actress’s. She had one long, straight leg crossed over the other, and her every smile and frown was breathtaking.
Across from her sat a young man. His skin was somewhat pale, and though he wore casual clothes, his hair was impeccably styled. He sat perfectly straight, and his every move carried a sense of elegance, perfectly matching the popular image of a European gentleman.
All around them, and even from inside other shops along the street, many people frequently glanced in their direction.
Many of them were even members of the media who were specifically following the pair.
Just yesterday, the Western European man sitting across from the stunning woman had defeated the Martial Hero Conference’s Ning Province champion in a street fight, attracting a great deal of attention. Many people were now trailing them, eager to see what they would do today and what encounters they might have.
The pair paid no mind to the gazes of their followers, continuing their conversation as if no one was there.
At that same moment, a figure appeared at the street corner.
This person wore a purple top with wide, inverted sleeves, wide-leg pants, and a pair of old-fashioned black cloth shoes. A fanny pack was cinched at their waist, and a lollipop was dangling from their mouth.
It was Zhu Zi’Er of Miaojiang.
’Found one.’
Zhu Zi’Er’s incredibly clear eyes landed on the stunning woman. Chewing on her lollipop, she started walking toward the pair.
The stunning woman seemed to sense something, and her gaze fell upon Zhu Zi’Er.
"Want a lollipop?"
Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding crowd, Zhu Zi’Er stopped a short distance from the pair, pulled a lollipop wrapped in wax paper from her fanny pack, and held it out toward the woman.
This gesture made the onlookers, who had been observing from the sidelines, look at each other in bewilderment.
’What is this little girl doing here? And offering candy?’
’Doesn’t she have any idea what’s going on with these two?’
"I’m afraid I can’t take things from strangers, little one."
The stunning Western European woman said with a smile. Her Donghua Language was surprisingly fluent.
"If you don’t take the candy, then we’re not friends. Which means I can use any means necessary."
Zhu Zi’Er’s expression didn’t change, her eyes remaining clear. She simply gave a slight nod, put the lollipop back in her fanny pack, and seemed to have confirmed something.
"Ma’am, if you wish to cause trouble for Lady Elena, you’ll have to get past me first."
Just then, the young man sitting across from Elena stood up. With a smile on his face, he gave Zhu Zi’Er a rather elegant, gentlemanly bow.
A fighting spirit swirled in his lowered eyes, as if he had already guessed the identity of the girl before him.
’A Saint from Donghua. I was hoping to see what they’re made of.’
Meanwhile, the crowd of onlookers erupted in whispers.
’Is this pretty little girl here for a fight?’
’But she doesn’t seem to be in the Martial Hero Conference’s top 100, is she?’
WHOOSH!
Zhu Zi’Er glanced at the young man and suddenly blew a breath of air at him.
The next moment.
THUD!!
The young man, not even finished with his gentlemanly bow, pitched forward and collapsed onto the ground, motionless.
The onlookers’ eyes went wide in an instant, their jaws practically hitting the floor.
’What... what just happened?!’
’That girl just breathed on him, and the Western European Martial Artist who defeated the champion of Ning Province just... collapsed?!’
"Alright, he’s down. Let’s begin."
"Since we’re not friends, this isn’t a friendly spar. So it should be fine for me to use some external methods, right?"
Zhu Zi’Er said calmly, looking at Elena.
As she spoke, everyone could clearly see the color of Zhu Zi’Er’s skin begin to rapidly change, taking on a pale purple hue.
WHOOSH!!
As her pores opened and closed, a purple mist began to emanate from her. The mist didn’t disperse, but instead coiled around Zhu Zi’Er’s body as if it had a life of its own.
In a friendly spar, one would naturally rely on their own abilities. But against an enemy, there was no need for such reservations.
Her techniques were intrinsically linked to the Gu Techniques of Miaojiang. To manipulate and reverse another’s Life Magnetic Field, she first had to force her opponent into a state of True Qi Imbalance.
In a real battle, she needed to use her Lifebound Gu.
Purple Bell Sound.
This was her Lifebound Gu.
The reason she was constantly eating lollipops wasn’t just to replenish her own Physical Ability, but also to feed the dust-like Gu Insects inside her body.
