I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

361 No One Suffers the Same Setback Twice Except the Mother Emperor

As soon as Feng Xia said that, there was a stunned look on the mother emperor’s face, the face which looked exactly the same as Wu Guan.

Back then, she chose to betray the agreement between the two sides. In a critical moment, she abandoned Lingyun Kingdom and then lived in fear for the next few hundred years.

She was afraid that the Lingyun Emperor would come out from an unknown corner and question her about why she had broken the alliance agreement.

At this moment, just as she was about to forget everything, her deepest fear had finally come true.

However, the situation was a little different from what she had imagined.

Although Feng Xia had approached her aggressively, from the looks of it, he did not seem to have any intention of wiping her out.

In fact…

“You say you want to cooperate with me again?”

The mother emperor blinked, unable to believe her ears.

The other party was not here to settle scores?

Feng Xia’s expression was indifferent as he smiled relaxedly and said, “Of course I’m not here to settle the score. Otherwise, do you think you can still survive when I activate the Ten-Directional Annihilation Killing Formation?”

The answer was…

Of course she could.

After all, the Ten-Directional Annihilation Killing Formation was just an empty shell. With Feng Xia’s current cultivation level, he could not even unleash 1% of its power. It did not matter when he was using it as an intimidation tool, but if he really had to go into battle, its true form would be revealed in an instant.

However, the mother emperor was completely kept in the dark and did not know about this at all.

She sized up Feng Xia and heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she did some calculations in her mind. “This guy’s cultivation level is not strong, but it’s definitely not weak. He should be at the peak of the True Spirit Realm or the early-stage of the Divine Bridge Realm! If he activates this array formation with all his might, my clone will definitely be destroyed here…”

This clone carried a portion of her cultivation. If it was damaged, it would be a considerable loss to her.

More importantly, judging from Feng Xia’s current stance, he was clearly here on behalf of the Lingyun Emperor!

Therefore, she needed to consider the deeper meaning behind it.

The mother emperor slowly retracted the tentacles that filled the surrounding area. Her gaze gradually became solemn and her aura calmed down. She looked around and her gaze landed on Feng Xia from time to time.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“We can talk about what we’ve discussed before.” Feng Xia smiled with a straight face. “We can also talk about what we haven’t discussed before.”

There was no doubt that he was just wrangling.

The mother emperor’s face twitched. She stared at Feng Xia for a long time before she suddenly giggled. “Kid, you’re really impressive. I was almost scared by you!”

Feng Xia’s expression did not change, but the corners of his lips continued to curl up.

The mother emperor’s expression changed again, but she quickly put on a smile. An especially seductive smile appeared on the face that looked exactly like Wu Guan.

“Young man, don’t think that I can’t tell you’re bluffing! So what if Lu Tiancheng still has a backup plan? Everyone from the extremely powerful Lingyun Kingdom either died or became crippled. He doesn’t even dare to make an appearance?”

She stretched out two tentacles in front of Feng Xia and said mockingly, “If he has the ability, why hasn’t he appeared for so many years? Why doesn’t he dare to come and talk to me personally?”

“So there’s only one answer—”

Swoosh—

The two tentacles suddenly retracted and the mother emperor suddenly appeared in front of Feng Xia as if she had teleported. “Based on the power you have now, you don’t have the clout to negotiate with me!”

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Tentacles shot through the air, cutting through space and almost piercing through Feng Xia’s body.

Feng Xia stood there motionlessly with a relaxed expression and without any trace of fear. Beside him, killing Dao symbols slowly rotated one after another, emitting a heart-palpitating dark glow, as if they were going to cause everything to die before they dimmed.

“Mother emperor, are you sure you want to make a move?”

Feng Xia gently raised his arms and a butcher knife and a green-skinned gourd fell into his hands. At the same time, a hazy divine light appeared behind his head and one could vaguely see a long bridge connecting the sky and the ground.

A trace of shock flashed across the mother emperor’s eyes as she thought to herself regretfully, “He didn’t just enter the Divine Bridge Realm, but has already walked quite a distance in it. Such a divine bridge isn’t something that ordinary human divine beings can forge…”

She had thought that if Feng Xia’s cultivation level was at the peak of the True Spirit Realm or lower, she could attack without any inhibitions.

However, she could not act rashly now.

The mother emperor was sure that if she used her tentacles to stab Feng Xia, she would definitely be able to end his life. However, the Ten-Directional Annihilation Killing Array would also erupt at the same time and completely turn this clone of hers into ashes!

There was also the issue of the butcher knife in Feng Xia’s hand and the strange green-skinned gourd. Both of them gave her a vague sense of danger, as if she forcefully attacked, she might create an even greater disastrous crisis!

“You’re right. We can indeed talk again.”

Finally, a smile appeared on the mother emperor’s face again. She retracted her tentacles and her murderous intent, as if everything that had happened just now was just a beautiful misunderstanding. “However, you should know in your heart that things are different now. Even if you have retained a portion of your strength, you are far inferior from the person you were back then…”

Feng Xia smiled. “If there’s anything you want to say, you can just say it.”

“What I mean is that the agreement from back then is invalid, and now…” The mother emperor’s gaze swept across Feng Xia a few times. “You need to show enough sincerity to convince me again.”

“I naturally know that.”

The smile on Feng Xia’s face became even brighter. “A true dragon egg… How about that?”

“True dragon egg!”

The mother emperor could not help but feel suffocated and looked over suspiciously. “Don’t joke with me. Something like a true dragon egg… it’s quite impossible to even get a dead one…”

Feng Xia interrupted her. “It’s alive.”

“… Deal!”

The mother emperor finally revealed a trace of urgency and agreed hurriedly. Then, as if she felt that she was not at ease enough, she raised her hand and drew across the void. Magical power circulated and condensed into an incredibly complicated mark.

“Back then, Lu Tiancheng’s biggest mistake was that he did not sign a Chaotic Contract with me. A mere agreement can naturally be violated anytime. At my level, I don’t even need to pay a high price.”

She looked at Feng Xia with a faint smile and said in a teasing tone.

“It’s said that the greatest weakness of the human race is that no matter how many years have passed, they will always make the same mistake.”

The mysterious mark condensed and flew in front of Feng Xia. At the same time, it split into two and one half entered the area between the mother emperor’s eyebrows.

“But I won’t.”

“After we set up the Chaotic Contract, I will make a deal with you.”
