Li Qingshan stood up and shrugged. He raised his right foot and was about to stomp down on the bald head.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment," Tie Xiong said.
"Wait for what?"
"Master Fu Ku has always been benevolent. Not only is he a famous figure in the martial arts world, but he also has an extraordinary position in the hearts of tens of thousands of Sons of Buddha. If I kill him now, I'm afraid more people will become enemies with the World Faction."
"You mean, he can kill me, but I can't kill him?"
Li Qingshan's expression darkened. Tie Xiong broke out in a cold sweat. He braced himself and said,
"Your Highness roams the world, who can stop you? But there's no benefit in killing him, so why kill him? I can persuade the master again. Who knows, he might change his mind in a few days. "
"Alright, for the sake of 'compassion', I'll give you four days. At that time, if he's not willing to turn back, even if all the Sons of Buddha are standing in front of me, I'll definitely kill him!"
Li Qingshan retracted his foot. Tie Xiong heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly helped Abbot Fu Ku up and channeled his vital energy to heal. Abbot Fu Ku kowtowed and thanked him.
Li Qingshan let them be. This kind of injury couldn't be healed in a few days. Since this monk still wanted to live, he might change his mind. He said to the Mysterious Void Temple Head, "It's your turn."
The Mysterious Void Temple Head was heavily injured. His body emitted a burnt smell. The backlash of the power of lightning wasn't easy to bear. He knew he would lose this battle before he came, but he didn't expect to lose so miserably.
Li Qingshan asked Hu Xian 'er, "What's the name of the beauty of Mysterious Void Temple?"
"Yang Miaozhen, also known as Fairy Miaozhen. Is it not enough to have me?" Hu Xian 'er lowered her head, seemingly angry and resentful.
"Heh, don't give me that. We've only known each other for less than two hours, why are you pretending to be so affectionate? Of course it's not enough to have you. We're going to gather the world's top ten beauties. Besides, you're not the world's top beauty. Go away! "
Li Qingshan's tone didn't sound like he was hunting. Instead, he sounded like a child who was determined to gather a set of cards and let go of Hu Xian 'er who didn't belong to the set.
Hu Xian 'er pouted. What a weirdo!
Li Qingshan said to the Mysterious Void Temple Master, "Ox-nose, hand over your disciple, Yang Miaozhen, in exchange for your life!"
"Devil, don't even think about it!" Li Qingshan immediately raised his foot and pointed at Tie Xiong, "Shut up!"
Tie Xiong was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but he could only shut his mouth when he heard this.
"Look at how smart this master is. He didn't even say a word. Those who drown are good at swimming, and those who are beaten to death are those who talk back. Die!"
"Chivalrous Prince, Yang Miaozhen is here, please show mercy!"
A female Daoist wearing a crown walked in from outside. She had an indifferent expression on her face. She was tall and had no makeup on. Her gait was like that of a crane, and she looked very elegant.
"Oh, another one!"
Li Qingshan smiled. In less than two days, he had already gotten three of the top ten beauties. His progress could be said to be godly.
Yang Miaozhen climbed up the tall building with an indifferent expression. She bowed to Li Qingshan and the Mysterious Void Temple Master respectively, as if she did not see the miserable state the Mysterious Void Temple Master was in.
"Good, you're here to exchange for this Ox-nose's life, right?" Li Qingshan asked.
"Miaozhen, no, I'd rather die!" The Mysterious Void Temple Master said.
Yang Miaozhen lightly shook her head, "Not at all!"
"Then you're here to collect his corpse!"
"Not at all. I want to play a game of chess with Prince. "
"Chess?"
"This Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion is a place of elegance. This Hu Xian 'er often tests people here with the four arts. It is difficult to determine who is better in the four arts, so we can only fight on this chess board. If I win, please let him go immediately. If I lose, he will belong to Prince from now on, and I will not go back on my word. "
Regardless of whether Yang Miaozhen won or lost, her expression was indifferent.
Li Qingshan said, "If I stretch out my hand, do you think you can escape? What's the point of playing chess? "
"It's easy to suppress others with force, but it's difficult to win them over with virtue. Just Now, after listening to Prince's righteous words, I feel deep admiration in my heart and wish I could follow you. However, my cultivation comes from the Mysterious Void Temple, so how can I just leave like this? I have to put in some effort. I believe that Prince is a virtuous person and will not disappoint Miaozhen. If Prince is not good at chess, you can ask Miss Hu Xian 'er to do it for you. Her chess skills are also famous."
Yang Miaozhen spoke tirelessly, neither servile nor overbearing. This kind of attitude could actually arouse a man's desire to conquer her.
Li Qingshan smiled and said, "You really know how to talk. If I win against you, I won't start a massacre if I'm happy. Regardless of the outcome, I'll protect this Ox-nose's life and even give myself a chance to win."
"Prince is wise and farsighted, far surpassing me. Presumably, your chess skills are also far superior to mine."
Hu Xian 'er whispered, "Prince, be careful not to be tricked. My chess skills …"
Li Qingshan drank the wine in the pot in one gulp and then waved his hand to clear the table. "Bring the chessboard!"
A moment later, the blue-clothed maid brought the chessboard over and threw herself into Hu Xian 'er's arms. "Elder sister!"
"Is this your younger sister?" Li Qingshan asked.
"Reporting to Prince, she is."
"What's her name?"
"Hu Ling 'er."
"Take good care of her. If I accidentally kill a beauty, at least I'll have a backup."
Yang Miaozhen's eyes flashed. Li Qingshan snickered inwardly. She wasn't as calm as she looked!
The two of them sat facing each other and were supposed to play first. Yang Miaozhen said, "Prince's chess skills must be extremely high. Could you allow me to play first with black?"
"Up to you! Although I haven't played many games, it's more than enough to beat you. "
The Mysterious Void Temple Master was lying on the ground, sneering inwardly. This demon had such big words, but he didn't know how good Yang Miaozhen's chess skills were!
Chess skills were different from martial arts. It depended on one's talent. Yang Miaozhen had a cold temperament and had no interest in martial arts. Besides cultivation, she was only obsessed with chess. When she was thirteen years old, she won against the Mysterious Void Temple Master. After she turned fifteen, she never lost again.
At this time, a gust of wind blew into the building. A young girl came riding the wind and directly went upstairs from the window. She cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, Elder Sister Yang, can I also play?"
"You are?" Li Qingshan asked.
"This little girl is Zhang Xuanfeng from the Divine Wind Sect. I happen to be one of the top ten beauties."
Zhang Xuanfeng had changed into a man's outfit. She looked valiant and heroic, but her heart was filled with bitterness. She hadn't come here willingly.
A moment ago, she had wanted to escape from the city and get as far away from Li Qingshan as possible. However, she had been caught by Zhang Yuntian and sent here to be a gambling stake.
"Oh, what do you want to bet with me?"
Li Qingshan smiled. It really had come to him without any effort at all.
"Let's bet on the saber behind Your Highness!"
Zhang Yuntian stood at the top of the inner city wall, looking in the direction of the Myriad Flower Pavilion. Before Li Qingshan obtained that saber, he did not have such strength. He had relied on brute force to break open the city gates and a bloody battle to capture Galloping Horse City.
"Xuanfeng, don't blame your master for being heartless. This concerns the life and death of the entire Martial Union. Since Li Qingshan has the heart to collect the top ten beauties, with your intelligence and dexterity, keeping your life should not be difficult. "
