Chapter 133: Madam Rouge's Request for Help
The skeleton was itself a master of an advanced fist technique, but one inferior to Xiao Nanfeng's Hegemon's Fist.
"Break!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted. He struck the skeleton's neck with a punch, causing it to break and sending its head flying.
Just then, all the cursed slaves stopped attacking the serpent and instead guarded the beheaded skeleton.
"I've been rescued!" the serpent cried out in glee. It had wounds all over its body.
"I saved you. Don't forget that," Xiao Nanfeng reminded him, turning his head.
The serpent: ...
"Dream on! You aren't going to make me thank you!" The serpent scowled.
Xiao Nanfeng didn't mind. He asked, "Where's the exit to the divine domain?"
"The exit? Hmm? Where's the mist we passed through?" the serpent suddenly cried out.
Mountain peaks dotted the horizon; there was no sign of the mist through which they had entered.
"Aren't you supposed to be familiar with the divine domain? Why don't you know anything?" Xiao Nanfeng frowned.
"How should I know? The divine domain wasn't like this in the past. Everything's changed!" the serpent replied.
Just then, the skeleton stood up, picked up its fallen head, and placed it on its neck once again.
"You broke my neck? Do you know how much cursed spiritual power I'm going to lose as a result?!" the skeleton thundered.
"Next time, I'll break all the bones in your body, not just your neck," Xiao Nanfeng threatened.
Knowing that it was no match for Xiao Nanfeng, the skeleton suddenly howled into the air. The howl echoed through the skies.
"It's summoning its companions. Take it down with me!" Xiao Nanfeng called out to the serpent.
By the time he turned his head, however, the serpent had already flown off.
"You do that yourself! I'm not going to help you—dream on, haha!" The serpent was laughing as it shot away.
Xiao Nanfeng: ...
Just then, dozens of cursed slaves appeared in the air, pouncing on the serpent. Two skeletons commanded the slaves from above, striking at the serpent and dealing it a grievous wound.
The serpent slammed down into a valley in the distance.
"Save me, Sir Nanfeng!" the falling serpent cried out.
Xiao Nanfeng: ...
By then, it was so far away that, even if Xiao Nanfeng wanted to help it, he couldn't do anything. What's more, it seemed as though there were no benefit to helping someone like the serpent.
Xiao Nanfeng put the serpent out of mind—the skeleton before him was charging forward once again.
Opening her mouth wide, she sucked up the large skeleton's bones.
"Stop it, you bastard! That's my cursed spiritual power!" the large skeleton's skull raged.
The cursed slaves all around her leapt straight at her, but Xiao Nanfeng shielded Madam Rouge with his dragon-quelling spike.
The large skeleton attempted to struggle, but Madam Rouge was consuming its body extremely rapidly.
"Just you wait. I'll come back, and when I do, none of you will get away!"
The large skeleton's skull let out a final scream before Madam Rouge ate that whole, too. Finally, the cursed slaves it was controlling stopped moving.
"We have to leave. More cursed effigies are on their way," Xiao Nanfeng urged.
Madam Rouge and Xiao Nanfeng left the scene as another large group of cursed slaves and skeletones descended from the skies. By then, however, Xiao Nanfeng and Madam Rouge were long gone. They had found a nearby hidden valley.
"Well? We cooperated well, didn't we?" Xiao Nanfeng smiled even as he guarded against Madam Rouge.
A screen of black smoke appeared before Madam Rouge. Words formed on it. "I simply didn't want to hand them my cursed spiritual power," she wrote. "It wouldn't have been hard for me to escape."
Xiao Nanfeng's eyes brightened. The fact that Madam Rouge was willing to communicate with him was an excellent start.
"You're right, but I was ultimately helping you, wasn't I? See, I'm sincere." Xiao Nanfeng grinned.
"You can be sure I'm aware of what you're planning. You were forced to compromise with me because you can't do anything about me otherwise. Furthermore, don't imagine that you saved me just now. I'm not at the point where I'd need to be saved by an Ascension-realm hunter. Don't expect my gratitude, either. My grudge against you had not been fully resolved. Just you wait." Madam Rouge seemed to be growing more angry.
Xiao Nanfeng's face twitched.
"Give me a cursed king's token," Madam Rouge requested.
"What's that?"
"These 'dragon-quelling spikes'. Hand me one, and I guarantee that I won't drag those around you into our feud. I won't target your two wives. Quickly!" Madam Rouge urged.
Xiao Nanfeng gave her a strange look. It was, however, a good sign that Madam Rouge was negotiating with him.
"What's this cursed king's token? Why didn't the slaves back there dare to gather around it?" Xiao Nanfeng retrieved a dragon-quelling spike, but he didn't hand it over to Madam Rouge.
"Are you unaware even of that? There's a group of cursed effigies in the vicinity, along with their king, the cursed king. The cursed king's token can easily suppress the might of all the cursed slaves in the vicinity. Who would dare countermand his order?
"But Blue Lantern stated that all these dragon-quelling spikes were his..." Xiao Nanfeng frowned.
"That chattering fool? He's a cursed slave, too," Madam Rouge continued forming characters in the air.
"Blue Lantern is a cursed slave?" Xiao Nanfeng gasped in shock.
"He should be one of the cursed king's slaves, a rather advanced one who hasn't perished just yet. Even so, it doesn't matter. A cursed slave is a cursed slave, dead or alive. His life hangs in the balance; one errant thought from the cursed king could easily end it. Are you going to give me a cursed king's token or not?" Madam Rouge finished.
Xiao Nanfeng frowned. He began to doubt Blue Lantern's promise of a wish given what Madam Rouge had stated; she seemed the more reliable source.
"I'll hand you this dragon-quelling spike in hopes that you're willing to drop your grudge." Xiao Nanfeng offered the dragon-quelling spike to Madam Rouge.
"To drop my grudge? Dream on! I'll come back and deal with you later when I've grown stronger."
The black smoke that served as Madam Rouge's pen dissipated as Madam Rouge dashed into the forest and vanished.
Xiao Nanfeng frowned. "Did I end up helping my enemy, then...?"
