677 Chapter 677 Finish The Alchemy Tournament.

Extremely embarrassed by the lovebird couple who clearly had no respect for poor single people like her, Qiqi had to do something to stop them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to go on to announce first place in the tournament before the public forgot they had come. here for that.

As much as it made her uncomfortable to do anything while Desmond and Sasha were still lost in her world, it was also impossible for the hostess to stay idle any longer. “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give a round of applause to the loving couple.”

To say that more than half the audience would rather be able to fill in for Desmond than applaud him was an understatement. Sasha’s incredible beauty aside, just the value of the pill she gifted to Desmond was enough to make many clench their teeth in envy. However, perhaps to fit the mood or for another reason, most of the audience applauded.

Interrupted by Qiqi’s speech, to later hear the tremendous wave of applause, Desmond and Sasha separated, leaving a trickle of saliva between their lips that broke half a second later. Not to mention Sasha who looked like she was about to faint from embarrassment, even Desmond felt somewhat self-conscious with the applause from the audience, which was already a miracle considering the hunter’s shameless nature.

Of course, Desmond wouldn’t be himself if he let something like embarrassment completely ruin his moment. Paying no heed to Sasha’s protests, Desmond carried the alchemist like a princess and walked off the stage with a cheeky smirk.

Qiqi, the host, was even more helpless than the embarrassed alchemist, but the show had to go on. Fortunately, even that not at small interruption didn’t completely take the spotlight away from tournament winner Ai Zuling. “Taking advantage of the fact that love and emotion are in the air, let’s give a round of applause for first place in this tournament. Brilliant, talented, and experienced, Ai Zuling represents the traveling cloud sect with pride.”

Almost instantly, emotion and fury filled the air. Despite the earlier sentimental little show, the audience was still abuzz with excitement to see the winner. This was not entirely strange, after all, the society in the Martial Sovereign World was always focused on strength and results, things like romance were far from being a priority for anyone.

Ai Zuling would now be recognized as one of the most talented and prestigious alchemists on the continent. The public, especially the powerhouses watching, didn’t care about second or third place, at least not too much, but it couldn’t be said that they remained indifferent to the rise of a new alchemy powerhouse like Ai Zuling.

On the way back to his private box, Desmond received half a ton of envious glances and three times as many spiteful glances, but the hunter didn’t give a damn about him, he was too busy enjoying Sasha’s embarrassment and shyness to care. for such nonsense.

.....

What did not escape the hunter’s attention, was a specific private box that had not been empty just a minute ago. “It seems that they have left, I hope everything goes well on their end.”

Needless to say, Desmond was talking about Mei Fei Long and Miao Xiauyue, since he knew that this alchemy tournament was a very important part of his plans. For Ai Zuling, getting a first place was far more important than gaining fame and fortune, this was a way to back Mei Fei Long and Miao Xiauyue in the negotiations ahead.

Just as Desmond had expected, Mei Fei Long and Miao Xiauyue had not only withdrawn out of boredom or something, but they were also attending a previously arranged appointment with a high-level member of the Eternal War Maiden Sect.

The woman with blonde hair tied up in a bun, wore an unrevealing light green Qipao and a well-practiced smile as she greeted her guests, her name was Lulu. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Mei Fei Long, Miss Miao Xiauyue, I hope that her trip to our beloved city and her stay in it has been to her liking.”

Taking the initiative to harmonize the meeting, Xiauyue responded with a warm greeting. “It is a beautiful and flourishing city, it is impossible not to have a good time while visiting.”

Although she knew that both girls spent most of their time inside her residence, probably too lost in their rosy world even to deign to tour the city, Lulu didn’t point it out. “I’m glad to hear it, I must also congratulate you on the success of Alchemist Ai Zuling who participated in the tournament, first place is no mean feat.”

As expected, Lulu’s mild-mannered appearance was just there for show, it didn’t take long for the blonde girl to show her true intentions. “Our eternal war maiden sect has always been a great promoter of talent, especially when it comes to young alchemists like her, I wonder if Miss Ai Zuling wouldn’t be interested in talking to our sect elders about possible cooperation? ”

The effrontery with which the girl attempted to steal Ai Zuling from under their noses left Fei Long and Xiauyue a little speechless, but on second thought, with the power of the Eternal War Maiden Sect, they truly had the right to be so direct. Nonetheless, Fei Long and Xiauyue were not smooth persimmons, it was impossible to give up their most prominent piece for the upcoming negotiations.

Maintaining a cordial image, Xiauyue brutally rejected the supposed bona fide offer from the blonde girl, Lulu. Before Lulu even showed her dissatisfaction and tried to use her sect’s name to press on, a wild and tyrannical Aura descended on her, paralyzing her body. Lulu instantly felt as if a powerful ancient predator had set eyes on her and she no longer dared to say a single word.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a quicksilver-dense aura swept across Fei Long’s tyrannical aura and an elderly voice interrupted. “Enough of the games, Lulu, our guests here are not just anyone, let me handle it myself.”

The door of the room opened revealing an older woman with the appearance of a kind young granny who seemed somewhat strange due to the huge hammer that she always carried on her back. Unless one was stupid, blind, and ignorant, it was impossible not to recognize the woman, she was the Supreme Elder of the Eternal War Maiden Sect.

Mei Fei Long and Miao Xiauyue did not dare to show any impropriety in front of such an influential and powerful figure, quickly saluting properly. However, the old lady was not one to pay much attention to things like etiquette as she dismissed the gesture nonchalantly.

“There is no need for formalities, this old lady has never appreciated them. Other old farts may like to pretend to be upright and fair, with their big words and polished mannerisms, but it seems like a waste of time to me. Especially when it comes to establishing a friendship, isn’t that what you’ve come for?”

Despite the woman’s gruff appearance, she wasn’t the supreme elder for nothing, she hadn’t even spoken to the duo to find out what they were after. Since there was nothing to hide, Fei Long and Xiauyue did not mince words, quickly stating their case to the supreme elder without daring to leave anything out.

Although it might seem naive to reveal all of her cards in one hit from her, the truth was that Fei Long and Xiauyue were not in a position to be reserved. With the power of the Eternal War Maiden Sect, it was not difficult to find out everything about them, at this point, trying to hide things would only be harmful to the alliance they were trying to forge.

As expected, the old woman had already come prepared with the terms for her alliance being quite harsh, but Mei Fei Long and Miao Xiauyue had already come up with a counteroffer to negotiate with. Exposing their plans, the resources in their hands, as well as their strength, Fei Long and Xiauyue’s offer, was attractive, to say the least.

The supreme elder had to admit that she did not expect the two girls to come so well prepared. Not to mention the talent in alchemy that they brought with them other than Ai Zuling, just her offer to support the Eternal War Maiden Sect during the expedition to the island in a couple of days was too attractive._{𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚}

It would be a lie to say that the sect was not concerned about the younger generation girls that they were going to send to the island, knowing that they were very likely to be attacked by many factions at the same time. However, the sect was helpless about it, under their calm appearance, the sect was under siege from too many factions, and at this point, they couldn’t do much to change things.

However, the pair of monsters of Xiauyue and Fei Long was like the rain after the drought. While they weren’t the most powerful people in the entire continent, both girls were without a doubt the most absurdly strong martial artists of the younger generation. It wasn’t a secret that both girls had actually stopped participating in younger generation events a year or two ago because it had become a bit absurd for them to go around abusing the weak.

Now that this pair of monsters was offering to escort their forces to the island, it was hard to turn down their offer.
