Chapter 563: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (167)
People from the Central Plains martial arts world came to the Western Regions to discuss matters concerning the Corpse Puppet Sect.
In their pursuit of creating puppets, the Corpse Puppet Sect has expanded its reach beyond simply finding suitable corpses to process; they now select living people to create puppets.
However, the Corpse Puppet Sect dared not cause trouble on the Holy Sect's territory, so it extended its reach to the Central Plains, and has since harmed many innocent small sects.
Because the Corpse Puppet Sect acted covertly, the martial arts world spent a lot of time tracing the clues and eventually found the Western Regions Holy Sect.
The martial arts community from the Central Plains has come here demanding an explanation.
But the Holy Church was much more cooperative than they had imagined. Although the first discussion didn't yield any results, the other party's attitude was excellent, and the hospitality was very satisfactory. They initially thought the second discussion wouldn't go wrong either, but...
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat eerie.
Although the two sides were delineating responsibilities for the Corpse Puppet Sect, everyone's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally drawn to the person sitting in front.
The leader of the Central Plains Alliance fed a peeled grape to the white-haired holy son beside him.
After the Holy Son ate a few grapes, he stretched out his wrist and shook it, and then the Alliance Leader grasped it as he wished.
"Cough cough...cough cough!!"
Xiao Na was coughing so hard her lungs were about to burst, but Bai Chao remained oblivious, clinging to Jing Hengzhou's side without making a single move.
No one dared to say anything; they could only frantically discuss the important matter, trying to cover up their true intentions. As a result, they were incredibly efficient and quickly came to a conclusion.
"...Then we'll unite with all the major sects to wipe out the Corpse Puppet Sect's lair in one fell swoop. Um...I wonder if the Holy Son has any objections?"
Meanwhile, Bai Chao was still tugging at Jing Hengzhou's clothes, seemingly looking at something.
Upon hearing this, Bai Chao turned his head and said, "Sure, but the remnants of the Corpse Puppet Sect must be dealt with by the Holy Sect. As for the rest, you can do as you please. The Holy Sect will not interfere."
"Yes……"
The speaker looked at Bai Chao with a troubled expression, then at Jing Hengzhou.
When did this holy son get to sit in the alliance leader's lap?!
Bai Chao seemed to find them an eyesore and waved his hand, saying, "Is the matter settled? If you have nothing else to say, you may leave."
The man quickly warned, "That sacred Gu..."
"Sacred Gu?"
"Yes, the Corpse Puppet Sect uses Gu to control puppets. Without the Holy Gu to suppress them, I'm afraid we're in trouble..."
Bai Chao said lazily, "The Sacred Gu is priceless and extremely precious. Moreover, it needs to be fed carefully at all times. It can be damaged or injured if you are not careful. There is not a single person in the Central Plains who understands Gu insects. How can you trust me to lend you my sect's sacred object?"
"This..." The man scratched his head, then suddenly clapped his hands, "That's right, could we borrow a Gu Master from the Holy Sect? Would it be good to have a Gu Master take care of the Holy Gu with us?"
Xiao Na said irritably, "Didn't we just agree that we'd have someone teach you how to control the Gu worms? The Sacred Gu is a sacred object; how can we just lend it out like that..."
"can."
Xiaona: “…”
Xiao Na glared at Bai Chao with a look of exasperation.
Male beauty is misleading!
Bai Chao's eyes curved into crescents as she leaned against Jing Hengzhou's chest.
"The Corpse Puppet Sect won't be defying the rules anytime soon. And since the Holy Church's Fire Festival is just around the corner, why don't you all stay and celebrate before you leave?"
"This one……"
The man wanted to ask Jing Hengzhou's opinion, but seeing the intimate manner between the two, he swallowed his question.
"Then...we shall respectfully comply?"
Bai Chao turned his head: "Jing Hengzhou?"
Jing Hengzhou looked down at Bai Chao, his fingertips stroking Bai Chao's wrist: "Okay."
After the business was finished, everyone hurriedly said their goodbyes.
Only Xiao Na drifted over like a ghost.
"Son……"
Xiao Na stared intently at the Holy Son the whole time, coughing hundreds of times, but the two never separated. Instead, they got closer and closer until they were practically touching!
What a disgrace! What a disgrace!
Bai Chao glanced at Xiao Na: "Why are you still here?"
Xiao Na clutched her chest: "What? You think I'm in your way? Holy Son, didn't you promise to take me to see your lover?"
"..."
Jing Hengzhou tightened his grip, his tone dangerous: "My lover?"
Bai Chao hissed, and the pressure on his wrist eased slightly.
"Nu Xiaona, do you still want to participate in the Fire Festival?"
Xiao Na laughed heartily: "Holy Son, didn't you say you went to meet your lover last night? So this lover is from the Central Plains!"
Xiao Na made her statement and then ran away in a flash.
The Holy Son is truly amazing; he actually went so far as to sacrifice his virtue to win over the leader of the martial arts alliance.
She had to tell the leader this good news quickly, because their Holy Cult was about to unify the martial arts world!
