Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 564 - Disregarding Everything



Chapter 564: Disregarding Everything

“Yes, yes, I was talking about young master Gao Wentian. He asked us to protect the goods and leave first. He was supposed to follow behind us with the rest of our guards, but I don’t know if he can manage to escape the monster beast. Miss Ling, please do something to rescue my family’s young master,” begged the coachman as he nodded desperately at Ling Chuxi.

“All right. Leave first, just as Gao Wentian told you to. I will go back and look for him,” said Ling Chuxi to the coachman.

“Thank you! Thank you, Miss Ling!” cried the coachman immediately, expressing his thanks before he promptly drove the carriage off and left just as instructed.

“Miss Ling, there is something odd about this occurrence. It would be best to be more cautious,” said Zhou Zhidong carefully to Ling Chuxi. Regardless of how much discontent he felt towards the task he had been assigned this time, he did not dare to disobey the emperor’s orders and would try his best to protect Ling Chuxi and Mo Kongyuan.

He had long stayed at the Northwest border, so he knew that for a monster beast to appear here meant something had gone wrong. Furthermore, he also knew of the Gao family’s Chamber of Commerce and the reputation and wealth they possessed. With all the resources the Gao family’s Chamber of Commerce had, their guards were definitely all experts. However, they were actually all bitten to death by the monster beast in such a short while. It could be deduced that this monster beast was definitely not an ordinary kind. If anything happened to Ling Chuxi should she confront it, how was he to provide an explanation to the emperor?

“It’s all right. Gao Wentian is my friend. I’ll go take a look at the situation first,” said Ling Chuxi. Her impression of Gao Wentian was not bad and if she were to mention it, she owed him quite a few favors too.

After Ling Chuxi finished speaking, she rushed up the road. Zhou Zhidong thought about it and also brought two guards along with him as he followed after her. He was a little curious about Ling Chuxi’s skills and wanted to take the opportunity to see how strong her cultivation was exactly. Then perhaps her might be able to see why the emperor had such great expectations of her so as to ask him to urgently travel all that way, all through the night to get back to the capital just to be her butler.

“Her friend?” seeing Ling Chuxi’s hurried footsteps, a warm smile appeared on Jiang Wuhen’s face. She was always like this. If something happened to her friend, she would disregard everything and go forward to rescue them. To be her friend was a good thing. A really, really, really good thing.

“Brother Jiang, why don’t we go and join the crowd?” asked Li Shaoqiu excitedly.

“Forget it, we shouldn’t go and add onto the trouble there. This morning I did a reading for you, and I am afraid that you might encounter a disaster causing you to be killed,” said Jiang Wuhen chillingly as he swept Li Shaoqiu a glance from the corner of his eye and shook his head.

“Really?” These days, Li Shaoqiu had become thoroughly fooled by this cheat who had Li Shaoqiu wrapped around his finger, thoroughly believing his words without a doubt. True enough, Li Shaoqiu widened his eyes and could not even continue eating after hearing Jiang Wuhen’s words.

“My words are more real than pearls! You just sit here obediently and wait for things to be resolved,” continued Jiang Wuhen, swaying his head. Just thinking about it, Ling Chuxi had gone knowing that the monster beast she was about to face was not a simple one. If they followed her there, wouldn’t it just bee adding on to the chaos? It was better to just sit here obediently and wait and see what she would do.

When Li Shaoqiu heard Jiang Wuhen’s words, he shifted in his seat into a more prim and proper posture.

Mo Kongyuan on the other hand, was still having a calm expression on his face as he continued eating.

At this moment, Ling Chuxi had already rushed up the road to the scene of the crime.

In front of her, a few carriages had been flipped over in the middle of the road with their goods scattered all over the ground.

A few guards had their backs against the carriage as they tried hard to withstand the attacks of a monster beast. The violent beast’s roars echoed within the mountainous enclave.

“A Shocking Thunder Beast!” Ling Chuxi could tell what monster beast it was with a single glance.

These few guards against the carriage all had cultivations of at least Battle Qi Level 8 and above. Amongst them were even some who were at Battle Qi Level 9, but under the attacks of the Shocking Thunder Beast, they were wounded, having to fight supporting on the left yet trying to juggle on the right. The corpses of a few fellow guards lay prone at a spot by the side. The situation was truly terrible, making one wish they had never seen it.

Ling Chuxi was secretly shocked in her heart. A Level 8 Shocking Thunder Beast’s actual power was incomparable to the cultivation of an expert in the realm of Great Fulfilment. It was no wonder these guards were in such a miserable state.

However, encountering a Shocking Thunder Beast was very rare, even in the depths of big mountain range forests. How was it that it had appeared here?

Without more time to assess the situation, Ling Chuxi’s focus shifted when she saw a ragged young man dragging his leg with a wounded thigh in her direction trying to escape under the protection of a few guards. It was the young master of the Gao family’s Chamber of Commerce—Gao Wentian.
