Chapter 1263 Second Meeting
Wang Wei walked into his room and immediately stopped. His lips twitched as he saw a woman with long black hair already there. "Young Lady, you're in the wrong booth."
"Am I?" Wu Hong replied. She continued sipping her drink without looking at him. Wang Wei sighed and sat on the cushion next to her. He looked at her black hair. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Your hair looks great," he commented.
"At least try to make the compliment sound plausible."
"I'm very sincere."
Wu Hong looked him in the eyes. "Your current appearance is very handsome."
Wang Wei's lips twitched and he reverted the transformation. "See? Now, we no longer match."
"Just turn your hair black."
"How about we compromise and choose another color."
"How about we retain our individualistic identities and choose something we enjoy."
"Fair," Wang Wei nodded. The room had a small table before them with a wine bowl. "Yours or something the celebration served?"
"Not mine, but it's quite enjoyable," Wu Hong replied. "It's Celestial Monkey Wine. Although there is no benefit for your realm, it's extremely delicious."
Wang Wei trusted this rich woman's taste, so he took a sip. His eyes immediately lit up as she was correct: this thing was absurdly delicious. After a sip, his Essence Qi Flower activated, and he could feel the bottleneck between the Third and Fourth Heaven slowly dissipating. If not for the fact he needed to pass the tribulation, he might have immediately entered the Fourth Heaven.
Wang Wei soon finished the win in his glass, and the thing filled itself without him doing anything. "They went all out, haven't they?"
"This is the bare minimum for a celebration of this scale."
"Did you ever have a grand celebration like this?"
"Yes, for becoming a Paragon and Primal," Wu Hong replied.
"I figure you were not the type for grand celebrations."
"Now, I'm not, but in my younger years..." Wu Hong did not elaborate further. "Plus, it's a great way to amass resources." Wang Wei nodded. As they were talking, the celebration officially started.
Wang Wei and Wu Hong's booth was on the second floor, but there was a formation that allowed them to see the events on the first floor while hiding their booth.
"Really?"
"Why do you sound surprised?" "I figure you both should have improved after the Ultimate Taboo, which should cancel each other out. Then, with the Ultimate Taboo and you not using the Perfect Foundation, the ancestor would have the advantage."
"You have underestimated the complexity of battle amongst Paragons who have truly reached the limit of power," Wu Hong explained. "And I can tell you, in the Chaos Universe, a very small number of Paragons can defeat me in a battle. However, there is no one I cannot kill. It's just that the price I'll have to pay is my life, which is not worth it."
'Damn, her overwhelming confidence is hot,' Wang Wei thought, trying to remain calm and composed not to embarrass him. "Quite confident, aren't you? I wonder where it comes from?"
"That is for me to know and for you to hopefully learn about," Wu Hong replied, and Wang Wei just smiled. He knew their trust in each other was nowhere near the level of the other clone.
"What's your relationship with Xun Junyao?" Wang Wei suddenly asked.
"Why are you asking?" Wu Hong asked calmly. "Are you already planning on how to regulate your harem properly?"
Wang Wei almost dropped the cup he was putting on his mouth. Luckily, his control of strength was unworldly, so nothing happened. He continued his sip before calmly replying: "Don't say such a thing. My poor heart cannot handle the stress from your words."
Wu Hong gave him a short glance before replying: I'm the one who protected her from the claws of those bastards."
"Really? I thought she used their attraction for him to balance them out and keep herself safe."
"She did, but such a tactic can only be effective to a certain extent," Wu Hong explained. "When it comes to these beasts who are drunk on power, it wouldn't surprise anyone if they used force to get what they want or decide to share her like an object. And even if the men could be controlled, the woman would also want to destroy her out of jealousy."
"So, you warn them?"
"I put the fear of god in their soul."
Wang Wei resisted the urge to yell the words: Damn, that's hot. Instead, he sighed deeply.
"What's wrong?" Wu Hong asked.
"Power is truly an attractive thing."
Wu Hong was baffled since these words came out of nowhere. Then, she remembered what a little pervert this bastard was. She glanced at him and smirked. Meanwhile, Wang Wei was satisfied he was able to express his desire in a more sophisticated manner.
The announcements continued, and soon, Wang Wei heard of someone he knew — Emperor Kong. The latter's gift was a Sage Blessing Banner, which surprised Wang Wei slightly, but it also made sense. This banner was something that only people who condense a Golden Body of Merit can refine at a small cost.
It contains some of the protective ability of Sage of Merit, along with a significant cultivation blessing. The announcements continued, and Wang Wei's name was the last person from the VIP section to be read out loud.
"Wei Tian, loose cultivator and close friend of young master Xiao Tiandi," the voice announced. "Gift:" She suddenly paused, making people wonder if this person embarrassed themselves and did not even bring a gift.
"An acquired Perfect Tear," she announced a few seconds later.
