Colorful Envoy was hit hard, his body suddenly stiffened, and he plumted down, his face turning bright red as he spat out blood. With a fierce shout, he slapped the surface of the water, turning his body in a flip that caused ripples, and hurriedly stepped on the waves before leaping onto the opposite bank in a panic to escape.
Pfft—
The Hidden Weapon that struck Colorful Envoy’s waist floated aimlessly on the water’s surface.
It was seen as a yellowish-brown, smoothly spinning sphere, which turned out to be a peach pit.
"What superb Bone-penetrating Acupoint Striking technique."
Jiang Dali’s gaze condensed as he watched the peach pit on the water.
Just now, Colorful Envoy was obviously hit at an acupoint, which suddenly caused him to lose his ability to suspend himself in the air, nearly falling into the water.
But it seed that the other party also had the ans to move and switch acupoints, allowing him to imdiately gather his energy and escape.
Inside the Xiangxing Painting Boat, there was indeed an expert present. It remained unknown whether the one who made the move was the Princess of Tang, Li Xiangfang.
At this mont, the voice of the woman from the second floor of the painting boat called out again.
"Many thanks to Master Jiang for stepping in just now. I am at a loss for how to express my gratitude. Perhaps the Village Chief would like to co in and have a chat, and listen to a piece of music I will play for you on my zither and flute."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali chuckled lightly, "I wasn’t stepping in out of righteousness; it was simply that Colorful Envoy was too unsavory. If the King of Joy had co, I might have given way, but a re Colorful Envoy? Not nearly enough to act wildly in front of ."
At that mont, his expression changed slightly, sensing that his panel was vibrating with a new prompt.
Clearly, he might have successfully triggered a painting boat quest possibly connected with the Princess of Tang, and he couldn’t help but sneer with irony.
"So you an to say the rules of your painting boat can be changed once again?"
The voice of the woman from the second floor of the painting boat ca again, "Master Jiang, please don’t misunderstand. For friends, our Xiangfang has always provided a warm and courteous welco. But for those with evil intentions, we are naturally not so polite."
Jiang Dali nodded slightly, folding his arms and saying, "It seems you already knew that Colorful Envoy’s arrival would unquestionably carry evil intentions.
Indeed, he gathers beauties from across the world for the King of Joy’s pleasure, which might not be common knowledge, but it’s still sothing known by so in the Martial World."
Saying this, Jiang Dali glanced at his panel.
"You have repelled Colorful Envoy Shan Zuo Tianyin, earning 200 points of favor from the owner of the Xiangxing Painting Boat, Li Xiangfang. Your favorability is now at a friendly stage."
"You have triggered the adventure quest ’Encounter Li Xiangfang’.
Quest Content: The Xiangxing Painting Boat is rumored to have been built by the Tang Princess, Li Xiangfang, who, weary of the empty prosperity of court life, cast aside her royal status and entered the secular world, turning it into the number one locus of drunken dreams and escapism. Over the years, countless wealthy young n have spent their entire fortunes there, and many a debauched wanderer has died drunk within its confines.
However, such inebriated dreams do not seem to be Li Xiangfang’s pursuit. To gain deeper understanding, further interaction is required...
Task Requirent: Enter the interior of the painting boat and encounter Li Xiangfang.
Task Reward: As ripples in water gently sway, for a thousand miles the fine eting shall stay brief. Fate will co when it is due, seek not when it is not ant to be."
"Indeed, I’ve triggered a quest, but what kind of ridiculous task is this? I can’t even understand the reward, nor do I want to ’approach her fragrance’. scoffed Jiang Dali internally.
Although he was not interested in romantic affairs, the person he was going to et was, after all, the Princess of Tang.
If just seeing her could curry favor with high-ranking officials, it would be very convenient for the developnt of his Mountain Village if there were connections at the court in the future.
"But if they expect Laozi, Jiang Dali, to cater and wash feet for soone, then they can take their request and shove it! I’ll just go in and take a look!"
Jiang Dali glanced at the Xiao Xuan nearby that had started to attract quite a number of Players, then looked at the sky above.
Imdiately, he grabbed his Golden Nine-Ring Blade from his back with a flourish, and with his head held high, he stepped into the painting boat with the stride of a dragon and the stance of a tiger.
"Mr. Jiang, this way please!"
A row of kneeling won, each with their own distinct beauty and charm, uniformly raised their hands, inviting him toward the staircase.
Jiang Dali laughed heartily upon seeing the staircase, "Indeed, the Xiangxing Painting Boat is endlessly creative in offering coziness, the reputation is well-deserved, well-deserved!"
But the staircase was actually made up of beautiful won lying side by side, dressed in gauzy clothes, exceedingly graceful, pushing the imagination to its limits.
Such a scene was unheard of, unseen before.
Even for Jiang Dali, it was an eye-opening experience.
Ordinary n stepping on it would surely be cautious, afraid to harm these delicate beauties.
But Jiang Dali laughed and continued on without altering his stride, stepping directly onto them.
At once, a series of muffled groans ca from beneath his feet.
Jiang Dali felt as if he was walking above the clouds, each step airy and enveloping, making one feel each was filled with a sense of achievent, intoxicating to the point of no return.
Masculine thought seed to magnify wildly at this mont, feeling as if he had reached the pinnacle of life.
"Hmph! Sowhat skillful!"
After seven steps, Jiang Dali stepped on the body beneath him that was like a cushion and sneered, all sense of achievent and pleasure dissolving from his mind, his eyes sharp and primal.
With his next step, although his sole felt comfortable, it did not affect his mind.
The voice of the woman on the second floor rang out again, this ti with admiration, "Master Jiang truly is no ordinary person. Countless heroes have climbed aboard my Xiangxing Painting Boat, but very few could enter the boat.
And among those who have ascended the ’Beauty Ascending to Immortality Stairway’ after boarding the boat, only you, Master Jiang, managed to shake off delusion in seven steps."
"Beauty Ascending to Immortality Stairway?"
Jiang Dali laughed, "That’s a good na, but beauties are not what I, Jiang, seek. n who feel accomplishnt and joy from stepping on common won can hardly be called heroes.
Though I, Jiang, may not be a hero, nor would I be so heady as to forget myself just by stepping on won.
If I, Jiang, am to step, I want to conquer the highest mountains and greatest rivers in this world!"
With this declaration,
Each woman lying on the staircase felt ashad and wondered whether they were ashad or self-pityingly moved, tears streaming from their eyes as they softly sobbed.
By this ti, Jiang Dali had already arrived on the second floor.
Behind the screen on the second floor, the hostess with the voice exclaid in astonishnt, "I’ve seen many n in the world, but very few are as extraordinary as you, Master Jiang, and even fewer like you.
I had thought you were indifferent to won, as the rumors in the Martial World suggest, but your recent physical reactions said otherwise.
This only confirms that your will and determination are far beyond ordinary, a trait that is the most precious and indicative of soone who will accomplish great things."
Jiang Dali’s lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, his mood greatly improved.
He hadn’t expected to et soone who could see his true character, defad as he was by the rumors of the Martial World, and he burst into laughter.
"I, the village chief, have heard too many flatteries, but your words today have struck Laozi’s heart. For that alone, I’m willing to sit down and listen to your performance! Co on!"
Behind the screen, the woman’s chuckling smile transmitted, and a graceful figure slowly erged from behind the screen...
