Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman-Chapter 282 - Speechlesss From Overexcitement

Chapter 282: Speechlesss From Overexcitement

Seeing the sullen look on Wu Hongwen’s face even after she explained, Betty immediately knew that she had said too much.

Thinking back on it, it wasn’t even as frustrating as it was when they were in the Peace Squad.

Actively giving up their prey to others?

No matter how strong their opponents were, this was not something the Peace Squad would do! They’d agree on the surface, and then they’d find a way to strike back from the back!

Thinking of this, Wu Hongwen kind of missed the Peace Squad. He also wondered how the work was coming along with the Peace Manor.

“It’s enough, Betty.” Xiao Yun patted her shoulder with an assuring look on her cold face. “He’s a bit more rash than us, we’ll make sure to talk to him properly.”

Xiao Yun and Yao Jiamu were still fine, but Wu Hongwen’s temper was a little uncontrollable.

Hearing Xiao Yun’s words, Betty finally felt like she had found a reliable person, and started to feel some relief. Turning around, she suddenly saw a robot near Gu Xiqiao, and she was taken aback. “Qiao Qiao, where did that come from?”

“When you guys left just now, it suddenly fell from the sky.” Gu Xiqiao turned to look at Jiji, then back to Betty. “It’s called Jiji, a robot.”

Once she said that, Yao Jiamu and the others looked at her weirdly, then to Jiji, and decided that nope, this was not something they wanted to get involved in.

And then they greeted Jiji with very friendly tones.

They didn’t expect Jiji to completely ignore them.

The three: “… Forget it then, let’s continue our hotpot meal.” Is this being hated on by the robot, or what?

Gu Xiqiao looked over to the three, and then she leaned over to pick up the book that she had placed on the ground to continue her reading.

“A robot?” Betty felt that something was wrong, muttering to herself as she sat down to eat her hotpot. “How could it have fallen from the sky?”

Shi Qin looked at Betty and Hans who was sitting down, and he was speechless.

Wu Hongwen and the others were a bit wrong in the head, so seeing them sit down to eat hotpot was one thing, but even the other two had sat down? A big battle was ongoing in the nearby area, even the earth was shaking, how could they be so relaxed? They obviously weren’t like this in the beginning!

He thought about it a little more, before he too sat down and took a bowl from Wu Hongwen.

Gu Xiqiao put down her book, sitting on top of it before eating her food slowly.

At this time, Jiji finally succeeded in ‘charging up’, and its familiar mechanical voice rang out, “Beauty Qiao, look!”

Gu Xiqiao looked up, seeing a pink flower in the claws of its mechanical hands.

Meanwhile, in the large apartment in A Apartment, Mrs. Zhang was carrying a vase that Dog Feed was in to a more sunny place. Suddenly, it flickered, and the entire flower disappeared.

Mrs. Zhang was left looking at the empty vase in a stunned daze.

Dog Feed looked at Jiji, then snarled with its teeth.

“Jiji, your power is great!” Gu Xiqiao turned to look at Jiji with an indifferent expression on her face, who was beside the tree.

Wu Hongwen turned, a piece of beef still sticking out from his mouth, and saw Dog Feed in Jiji’s arms. He almost choked on the meat in his mouth. “Pft! Jiji, you can actually do magic tricks! Really can’t underestimate you!”

Betty suddenly understood. “Oh, it’s a robot who can do tricks!”

Jiji: “…”

Yao Jiamu, Wu Hongwen, Xiao Yun & Dog Feed: “…”

Other than the hotpot that was made by Gu Xiqiao, every other hotpot in the world was tasteless next to it. So everyone shot Yao Jiamu a look as they continued to grab the beef from inside.

Boom!

Boom!

Loud noises suddenly came from the front of them, two thick old trees were cut in half, falling to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

A bunch of people rushed over in a hurry, looking as though they had exhausted all their strength.

They were covered in blood, and their faces were full of terror.

Betty put her chopsticks down, a horrified look on her face. “Aren’t those the people from Master Cecil’s team? What happened to them?”

“Master Cecil! Don’t!”

“Hurry and go!”

The group yelled out in horrified screams, a blast of terrifying aura shooting out from a close by area. The tragic screams echoed in the area, the leaves shaking and falling to the ground in the same instant.

This made Shi Qin and Hans place down their utensils, standing up and looking in the direction with shock.

Cecil’s figure also appeared, moving towards them in a hurried pace. Unlike the group of people that had first appeared, he was fighting as he ran, against a giant unicorn-shaped beast.

The powerful and terrifying aura was emitting from the giant beast.

“Should we help?” Hans gripped the sword in his hand, his tone grave.

“We can’t.” Shi Qin shook his head, panic appearing in his eyes. “That’s… that’s a Xiantian level mythical beast! Listen, we need to run, now! If you can’t escape then shout that you give up!”

Hans and Betty’s face changed the moment they heard the word ‘Xiantian’.

They naturally knew what it meant, it meant that the power level was on the 70th floor of the Trial Tower.

In this entire world, it was rare to have people with this strength level. People on the 70th floor of the Trial Tower were definitely dominating presences, like Jiang Shuxuan who had become famous in his early years. Because of that, the prestige of being on the 70th floor was widespread and known.

Shi Qin was the one with the highest power in their group, and that was him being on the 49th floor. Look at Cecil, who was on the 50th floor.

Compared to Xiantian level, they weren’t able to compete with that at all!

Bang!

Cecil, who had been said to be among the contenders to get first place, was thrown to the ground, falling right next to Shi Qin and the others, a cloud of dust floating up again.

“Master Cecil!” Betty looked at Cecil with eyes full of disbelief.

In her eyes, the all powerful Master Cecil was someone unbeatable, she couldn’t believe that there would come a day where he would be beaten like this!

This was the difference in levels!

The unicorn-shaped beast had already stopped in its tracks. Although its body was only made from pure energy, those eyes that were strangely human-like were… so very cold.

“This is a beast at Xiantian level, it has developed its own intelligence. We’re already labeled as its food, and we can’t escape it, none of us can! It’s either you give up, or die!” Cecil, who had always been a proud man was full of reluctance and fear. The team of people that he led was also in the same sorry state.

Even if they were reluctant, even though they craved to be in the top hundred, their life was still more important compared to all this!

If they died, there would be nothing left!

Cecil was the strongest among them all, and if chose to give up, what could the others do? Even if they were unwilling to, they needed to save their lives. The face of each one of them was pale white.

This included Shi Qin, he clenched his fist tightly, biting his lips harshly. There wasn’t anything he could do anymore.

“Sigh.” Gu Xiqiao finally put down her chopsticks, giving a loud sigh. She got up and poked Wu Hongwen’s shoulder. “Where’s the wooden sword?”

Wu Hongwen was busy eating his beef, but at her words, he immediately handed the item to her.

The indifferently cold beast had already started to open its mouth in front of them, an energy ball of storm forming in front of it. Cecil and the others were already desperate, preparing to shout ‘I give up’, when suddenly, a pale, slender figure appeared in front of the beast.

She held a very normal looking wooden sword in her slender hands, and the workmanship of it was slightly rough.

In the middle of the energy storm that could shatter most people, she stood there, completely unaffected. Only her clothes swayed slightly in the violent winds. She raised her head, her ink black hair sliding across her cheeks, and she raised her hand to push it back without much thought.

Fear suddenly appeared in the beast’s eyes that were so cold just a moment ago. Its eyes widened when it looked at the woman that had appeared suddenly in front of it, not having any time to react when…

The wooden sword crackling with electricity lifted it up high!

A powerful mental force pressed against it at the same time, rendering it immobile. It was unable to move, and then the entire area froze as though time had stopped. The surging energy storm no longer threatened to swallow the area, and even the leaves seemed to have stopped mid-air. Everything was frozen in place.

The wooden sword cut through like a hot knife slicing through butter, slicing the beast right down the middle.

The extremely powerful mythical beast was sliced cleanly in front of everyone’s eyes, by a dull, wooden sword that couldn’t even cut leaves.

Gu Xiqiao watched the mythical beast dissipate slowly, then she reached out suddenly, grabbing onto the last bit of energy that was disappearing. She molded it into a small ball with her hands.

It was shocking to see such powerful energy from such slender, white, dainty hands.

Gu Xiqiao waved her hands after, and the pink flower floated to her side. She stuffed the ball of energy directly into Dog Feed’s mouth.

There was dead silence over the entire area after she did that!

They looked at the thin, slender woman with comically wide eyes. All of them were scared to the point they didn’t dare to say a word, none of them could form a single coherent thought in their heads either.

They had already been prepared to give up, but they didn’t expect such a mysterious woman to appear suddenly.

The Xiantian level beast had stood not a single chance against her.

With just a wooden sword and a pair of dainty hands, she had split the beast in half so easily!

Strong! She was just too strong! To the point that they forgot to breathe!

“Sh-Sh-Shi Qin…” Betty swallowed heavily. “T-T-T-That’s… That’s Qiao Qiao?” The weakest link in their team, who had only reached the 20th floor of the Trial Tower, how could this not come as a disbelieving shock to any of them?

Hans blinked, then he blinked again. Gu Xiqiao was still there, and didn’t disappear. He let out a long breath before saying, “Gods! She… this…”

Shi Qin was trying his best to calm his mind, the shock that he received to his heart was no less than Betty or Hans. In fact, he was way more shocked than the other two, even his fingertips were shaking. He turned to look at Yao Jiamu and the others who were still eating and drinking in a leisurely manner, no surprise in their eyes. It was obvious that they were used to Gu Xiqiao’s display of powers.

No wonder the three of them had looked so regretful and aggrieved previously. Thinking back, it was also no wonder they had been dismissive when he and Betty had told them they needed to run if they ever ran into the five masters. He had thought they were too stupid to understand, but now it looks like they weren’t the stupid ones, they had a certain extent of reliance to not be afraid of the five masters after all.

There was also Felix, who they had ran into yesterday. How was it possible that such a bad tempered and vicious person like Felix would let them off so easily, even looking so frightened when he left? Obviously, it was Gu Xiqiao who had done it!

Not only was a Xiantian level beast not able to be her opponent, even Felix, who was one of the contenders for first place, was chased away without her even showing her face.

What five super masters that could contend for first place? In front of her, all of them were just farts!

Hans and Betty could naturally know what Shi Qin was thinking about, because they were also thinking along the same lines.

The three of them looked at Gu Xiqiao, their eyes full of fire. “Strong. I finally understand what a strong ancient martial artist is, this is it!”

She had always admired the strong, that was why she had been so excited whenever she saw Cecil.

But now, she simply didn’t know what to say when she looked at Gu Xiqiao!

She’s simply… she was simply a goddess! A super goddess!

“What kind of strength does she have, to meet no resistance against a Xiantian level beast?” Hans’ face was flushed with excitement, and he rubbed his hands gleefully.

The three were excited, Cecil and his men were in no better state either.

Especially Cecil, he was stunned and rooted to the spot. Perhaps it was because he had not expected to survive this encounter, or perhaps he didn’t expect to meet such a strong existence in this place. Even he had no way to resist her, and he could only stare at her without blinking.

After Gu Xiqiao had stuffed the energy ball into Dog Feed’s mouth, she slowly walked back to her spot again.

Her face was calm, looking as though she had not just done an extremely terrifying deed.

Walking to her team’s side, she suddenly stopped, her face darkening as she gritted her teeth. “You three… you finished the beef?”
