Chapter 1372: Shaking Off The Crazy Woman

My name is Soft Peach. The origins of my name have been explained previously.

As a Soul Seed Avatar, it is very difficult for me to complete my existence. It is especially so since the original owner is from the Peach Garden.

I had to be very careful. Luck was also on my side and I managed to live till this day to obtain the freedom I desired.

Of course, this came at a price. However, as long as she lived and breathed freely, these were small and inconsequential costs. I am sure you would understand this.

The reason why I revealed myself this time and came out of hiding is because I made my preparations and the original body’s condition no longer allowed me to continue hiding myself.

A Soul Seed Avatar was an avatar. Despite having a large degree of freedom, if the original body died, it would perish with them.

The Peach Garden was supposed to be the place for my first attack but my plan had to change because I met a group of men from the West Desolate. Honestly speaking, they were strong and there were seven True Saints among them. If I challenged them in ordinary ways, I would have lost.

But I am Soft Peach and I will not be defeated easily. Furthermore, these men were constrained. With my hidden card, I killed two of them and captured the most important individual among them. That was how I controlled them.

At first, I wanted to use these men to attack the Peach Garden. However, when I saw the Spring Master, I knew that it was not the time to attack yet. I could feel that he was weak and dried out. At the same time, I also sense his determination in his eyes.

If I attacked the Peach Garden to find the original body, the Spring Master would take her to the grave with him. I am very certain of this.

There was definitely disappointment. After all, I made so much preparations but I was interrupted before I could even act.

However, I chose to back off again.

The key reason was because I was not confident in blocking the Spring Master. The second reason was that he was in a very bad state. After his death, no one will be able to stop me.

After leaving the Peach Garden without meeting my aim, I felt very lost and I did not know what to do. Perhaps because I was bored and aimless, I came to explore Bounded Zero Place.

Accidents happened without any warning. Even now, I still do not know what a Half-King is, but it is undeniably powerful.

Although I forced him backward, Li Four Seasons managed to escape. He was the most important person from the West Desolate.

It was my loss then, especially since I was now locked onto by that Half-King. Something tells me this will be troublesome in the future.

However, I am Soft Peach and I have never allowed myself to be in a weaker position. One reason is because I hold grudges and the second reason is because I have always had good luck.

I spoke about this previously.

With things being like this, if I suddenly meet the Half-King again, revenge is impossible. I am pretty sure that I will be trying to escape for a long time.

My luck had better be good to make up for this.

I thought that this was where a Ruler died and that I could find treasures from this place. However, I no longer think this way.

Destiny has made it up to me: it pointed me to Qin Yu. This man is definitely closely related to Peachy and I like him. He must become my man.

The way my heart reacted to him felt very rash but I am not an idiot and I will not stick myself to him. If he is to be my man, he cannot be killed easily.

When I struck him the first three times I had been determined to kill him, but he was not injured. Instead, he even injured me. He is strong, smart, and I have feelings for him. How can I not fight for this man?

Oh…alright…I am not satisfied. How can Peachy have everything? I, Soft Peach, will steal it from you!

……

Soaring Sky, Rice Paper, Zhou Lei, and Ruan Jing had been waiting ever since Qin Yu gave them a signal. He finally arrived. Surprisingly, there was a woman with him.

From afar, they did not have a clear view. The three guys sighed to themselves. As expected of Qin Yu, he managed to find a woman under such dire circumstances.

How did they know that it was his woman? Hehe, the tense atmosphere between them could be felt from miles away. Unless they were blind, they would be able to tell at a glance.

However, they quickly realized otherwise.

Soaring Sky could better manage his feelings and the weakened Ruan Jing could not be bothered to overthink. Yet, Zhou Lei was a simple and honest guy and he spoke his mind freely.

Peachy!

Although the Spring Master’s only daughter often kept to herself and rarely appeared in public, the group recognized her.

Originally they thought that Qin Yu had incredible luck and Peachy was here to keep him in his place, but the contrast was too great. Zhou Lei’s expression was ugly and he coughed continuously. His entire face was red and he appeared very weak.

Ruan Jing glared at him. She could guess why he was acting this way. Honest and simple-looking men were the most unreliable!

She stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings to Mister Ninth and Mrs. Peachy!”

Well, this way of addressing was truly awkward.

From their seniority in the Saint circle, it was sufficient to call her Senior Sister Peachy. As a powerful cultivator on par with a True Saint, this was the sort of respect they deserved.

“Greetings to Mister Ninth and Mrs. Peachy!” Soaring Sky, Zhou Lei and Ruan Jing followed along.

Qin Yu frowned slightly but before he said anything, Soft Peach nodded her head in satisfaction, “Good, at ease everyone. This is a welcome gift from me.”

She waved her hand and four balls of spiritual light flew out and landed before each of them. There was a crystal clear substance in each of them that circulated vibrantly as though it was alive.

Rice Paper’s eyes widened in surprise and she exclaimed, “Thousand Silver Sand!” She took the item and bowed continuously, “Thank you, Mrs. Peachy!”

Once they heard the name of the item, surprise filled Soaring Sky, Ruan Jing and Zhou Lei’s faces. As expected of the only daughter of the Spring Master and the fiance of Mister Ninth, she was very generous.

Thousand Silver Sand was an item that could enhance the physical body strength immensely once it was refined. It was a treasure in the Sea of Bitterness and was regarded as a very valuable item. For these cultivators who were about to enter the Sea of Bitterness, it was precious.

Soft Peach smiled brightly, “This is nothing. When you guys become Saints, we will give you more gifts then.”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched and he looked at her with a weird expression. She didn’t even know anyone here, why give a welcome gift? Additional gifts after they became Saints? Are we very familiar with each other?

He originally wanted to tell the four others that this woman was not Peachy. However, he gave up on this in the end. After all, he would need to further explain the situation. Since he wasn’t even clear on it himself, why tell others?

Was he going to explain that he met someone who looked exactly identical to Peachy? This woman also stuck to him like glue and he had no choice but to bring her here and drag her into his next plans.

This was not only bizarre, it would make the four people’s trust in him dwindle. If such an important plan was revealed to others, it was obvious that it was placing them in great danger. Furthermore, he must be mad for revealing the plan to a stranger!

Taking a deep breath in, Qin Yu said, “Alright, let’s put that aside. We should proceed with our next plans.”

His eyes swept across Soft Peach. She had a dainty look and she appeared very obedient. He continued, “If nothing goes wrong, there should be a great conflict between the Mysterious Clan and World of Darkness very soon. We need to add oil to the fire and let it turn into an inferno.

“However, there is something that I need to inform you of. Not long ago, I sensed a very strong aura descend into Bounded Zero Place. Although it is very far from where we are, I have never felt such an intense aura before! I suspect that this aura belongs to a strong individual from either the Mysterious Clan or World of Darkness. It is similar to the Eye of Eternal Night, but it is more terrifying than it!

“That aura disappeared very quickly and it might have left, but I am not very sure of this. As such, there is a high risk for our next step. If we meet anything that we cannot handle, we will leave immediately even if that means sacrificing everything. Understood?”

The four peoples’ expressions faltered slightly. Such a terrifying aura that Mister Ninth had to warn them about with a fearful look must be a very powerful existence.

“Yes, Mister Ninth.” The four nodded. They understood what Qin Yu meant.

Something that they cannot handle…it meant something that surpassed their abilities and they would die. Qin Yu would run away and he would not bother about them. If danger really came, it would be down to their luck to survive.

This was something that was very normal. After all, selfishness came before selflessness and it was better than giving them an empty promise.

Observing the slight change in their expressions, Qin Yu knew the group understood. Grouping up with smart people saved his energy. Just as they proceeded to discuss their next steps in detail, Soft Peach suddenly raised her hand to express her opinion.

Wasn’t she going to pretend to be invisible? Women’s words were lies for men. He could not believe them!

Qin Yu originally wanted to ignore her but the group of four were looking at them. If he ignored her, he would need to explain. That was more troublesome.

Sighing, Qin Yu asked, “What is it?”

Soft Peach blinked, “Can I speak now?”

He did not let her speak previously but she was very fluent. Not only did she give the team a gift, she even arranged another meeting with them.

Qin Yu suppressed his rage and said, “Speak!”

Opposite them, the four people’s eyes widened in surprise. Mister Ninth was so overbearing even in front of Peachy.

Hehe, cultivation was a man’s honor. Despite how high Peachy’s status was, he dominated her.

They were so jealous!

Of course, the jealous people were the men. Rice Paper held a complicated expression. Men were all like that. They became arrogant once they were capable. Even Mister Ninth was not an exception.

However, thinking about it carefully, if she could find someone as outstanding as Mister Ninth, it would also be for her own good if her partner dominated her.

Hm…what am I thinking about? I actually imagined changing positions with Peachy…damn it, come on, calm down. Mister Ninth is not someone you can drool over.

Right at that moment, Rice Paper suddenly felt a cold aura rise from deep within her heart. She could not help shivering.

She looked up and saw Peachy smiling warmly at her. Peachy gave her a knowing nod.

Peachy was really beautiful. Furthermore, she was so warm. What was that cold aura I felt? Was I mistaken?

Soft Peach thought to herself. Thank goodness that young brat knows her place. Otherwise, I would teach you a lesson immediately.

She shifted her attention. Sticking out her tongue, she looked at Qin Yu, “Why are you so fierce? I have been obedient so that you will like me…don’t glare at me, I will speak. Qin Yu, did that sudden strong aura descend not long before you met me?”

Qin Yu nodded. He was completely annoyed and he felt that Soft Peach was a pain…hm, no. Why did she say this? Did she know something?

Meeting his eyes, Soft Peach nodded and proudly announced, “That’s right, I chased him out of Bounded Zero Place already.”

Qin Yu’s first thought was that she was bragging.

She was strong and he did not know whether it was because she was a ‘Double Pupil User’ that she had many strange techniques. She was definitely not someone to be underestimated.

Alright, he had looked down on her. After all, the difference in the strength between Soft Peach and the aura was too great. A single finger from that individual could shatter her. How could she brag that she chased him away?

Qin Yu remained silent but his opinion was clear. Soft Peach stomped down playfully and pouted, “Really, I am not lying!”

As she said this, she grabbed Qin Yu’s head and dragged it down sharply so that their foreheads touched, “Look at it yourself!”

The group of four looked at the two with an awkward expression. What were they doing? Their flirtatious actions were like a stab to the heart for the four people. This sudden movement surprised everyone.

The two of them ought to maintain a better image, especially in front of their juniors. Furthermore, they were all single. Was this really appropriate?

Qin Yu’s struggle was of no use. When he finally stopped moving, he truly saw Soft Peach’s memories.

A Half-King from the Mysterious Clan!

Despite being restrained, he killed five West Desolate True Saints in two blows. His strength was unfathomable.

Also, Soft Peach’s strength exceeded his expectations. She could call forth a Time Illusion that forced the Half-King away.

He breathed in deeply and slowly exhaled. Finally he said, “Release me. I have seen it.”

Soft Peach whispered into his ear, “The Time Illusion is formed when the Time Dao has been refined to a certain level. It becomes a Divine Way and it can forcefully alter the flow of time on a specified target. It can even reverse time if it is powerful enough.”

She released her hand and Qin Yu met her gaze with a frown. Ignoring the strange expressions of the four people, he said, “The threat is gone. That mysterious man has left Bounded Zero Place, but this does not mean that we can let our guard down.”

As he said this, his voice deepened, “After entering Bounded Zero Place, you guys should have gained some understanding of the strength of the Mysterious Clan and the World of Darkness. If we are careless, we will be killed immediately.”

The group of four bowed, “Mister Ninth, don’t worry.”

Qin Yu raised his hand, “Alright, just take note of this. Let’s begin to discuss. We have been delayed…” His eyes swept past Soft Peach, “Time is tight, I will speed through the briefing; you guys can just listen.”

Afterwards, he explained the situation between the two clans.

He did not explain what happened exactly as it was not necessary. There was respect and shock in the expressions of the group of four. While Soaring Sky appeared calm, he was actually full of emotions.

He had provoked two camps and created so much hate and conflict by himself. He had everything controlled in his palm.

It was easy to explain the current circumstances but it must have been hard to get this. Ignoring their cultivation differences, Mister Ninth’s strategic moves were enough to gain their respect.

Soft Peach’s eyes twinkled brightly as she stared at Qin Yu. She longed to snuggle into his chest. He was strong, smart, and strategic. She was discovering more sides of him!

Sensing her undying stare at him, Qin Yu glared at her to give her a warning. However, Soft Peach did not back down and she continued to stare flirtatiously at him. She even licked her lips.

The sudden move caused the four people to cough and they hurriedly lowered their heads as their faces flushed red. It was so awkward.

Qin Yu’s expression hardened. He made a resolve to scold Soft Peach later. If this carried on, she would only become more brazen.

However, deep within his heart he had to admit that it was very hard for him to hold back his feelings. His suppressed feelings were about to burst out.

“Humph!” He coldly scoffed and then turned, “Let’s go. We can clarify any doubts along the way!”

Soft Peach smiled and waved her hand, “Come on, catch up. All of you have good backgrounds. Why are you all still so childishly interested in this? Experience defines a man; you have to try it to know. You need to work hard in this regard in addition to your cultivation.”

What in the world?

Shoosh!

Qin Yu shot through the air. He had a new determination. He needed to get rid of Soft Peach, this crazy woman!
