The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable felt utterly humiliated as a flash of shame and anger crossed his face. He grumbled irritably, "Your cultivation base isn't high, but your temper sure is arrogant. Yan Mountain is known as the burial ground for cultivators. They say having one more friend is one more path to survival. You ignore me, fine, but don't come begging me later…"

The cold beauty didn't even afford him a glance this time, treating him as if he were thin air and his words as mere fart.

This made the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable even more embarrassed and angry, a vile fire rising in his belly. He lewdly scanned her graceful figure with his eyes, thinking to himself, "Fine, play the innocent with me. I'll turn you into a whore. Before long, you'll strip off your clothes and kneel before me, begging for me to have you…"

The cold beauty was thoroughly disgusted by the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

As she had been leading the group all this time, she now found herself the object of lecherous stares from a number of men, feeling like she wanted to vomit as if she had swallowed flies.

So, she deliberately slowed her pace to fall behind the group.

Unfortunately, as soon as she fell back, she found herself alongside Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang had been through the wringer in the company of many women and had seen all types.

He had long recognized the cold beauty's temperament and had his share of experiences with such icy beauties, knowing full well they detested those pesky men who offered unwanted attentions.

Therefore, at this moment, he naturally didn't act like that Twofold Body man, foolishly striking up a conversation. Besides, he was also wary that if this woman happened to take a fancy to him, it would incur the jealousy of the others, leading to their collective wrath, which would be truly courting disaster.

So, he didn't even glance at the cold beauty.

Instead, he just quietly sniffed, smelling the subtle scent that wafted from her.

This woman, indeed, smelled nice.

It wasn't the scent of makeup, but a natural fragrance, faint yet genuine, like a barely-there floral scent that didn't assault the nostrils.

Familiarity breeds contempt!

The cold beauty saw that Wang Xiaoqiang had the lowest cultivation base in the team, a mere presence, and wondered how he had managed to hold on until the second round of the competition.

Noticing that he was walking alone at the back of the group, not chatting with those of higher cultivation bases nor trying to ingratiate himself with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable, she found him somewhat unusual, but still didn't take much notice.

This woman was like a graceful swan; a toad would never catch her eye! Even if it was a particularly unique toad, it would not appeal to her.

However, after a while, when she noticed Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't even spared her a glance, it was too abnormal. In all her years, she had never encountered such behavior.

Normally, men who saw her acted as if they wished they could transplant their eyeballs onto her body,

Even those virtuous men like Liu Xia Hui would exhibit a dazzled look when they first saw her, but this inconsequential guy was treating her as if she were air.

At that moment, she couldn't help but wonder, Could this guy's resolve be that strong? My head-turning rate is one hundred percent, and I have a strong impact even on my own gender, yet here I am, right beside him, walking shoulder to shoulder,

and he, he actually ignores me!

Ah, that's right! This must be a closet pervert, outwardly feigning innocence but inwardly dirty. Who knows, he might be sneaking peeks at me with the corner of his eye?

Thinking this, the cold beauty stole a glance at Wang Xiaoqiang using her peripheral vision, but seeing that he wasn't surreptitiously watching her, she grew even more bewildered.

With bewilderment came an inexplicable sense of loss,

Attractive women are often like this; they grow weary when men hover around them, but they feel an indistinct sense of loss when ignored.

This woman's name was Zhao Feiyan. She was a disciple of the Constellation Sect. She had come to participate in the Armor Snatching Tournament on behalf of the Constellation Sect.

The Constellation Sect was a premier sect within the Yellow Dragon Empire. This Armor Snatching Tournament held great expectations for Zhao Feiyan from the Constellation Sect, but Zhao Feiyan was proud by nature, and the idea of sacrificing her charm to win the contest was absolutely out of the question.

In Zhao Feiyan's eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang was an oddity, yet the more he was like that, the more she found herself paying attention to him.

At that moment, Zhao Feiyan stopped glancing at him from the corner of her eye and directly turned her head to give him a look.

Seeing the woman paying attention to him, Wang Xiaoqiang knew that his method had worked. Such a woman should be treated with cold indifference, and then she would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with you.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang had underestimated Zhao Feiyan's aloofness; she did not engage him in conversation.

In fact, aside from her sect sisters and master, she would never take the initiative to talk to anyone, let alone a man she had never met before.

Nevertheless, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't feel disappointed. Instead, he felt a sense of relief.

Because if she had talked to him, it would have aroused jealousy among a bunch of people, especially that man with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable. If he teamed up with everyone against him, Wang Xiaoqiang would really have no way to cope.

A group of a hundred people advanced into the mountains, releasing their Divine Sense in search of armor.

Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't be bothered to release his Divine Sense. First, his Divine Sense was weak, probably the weakest in the group, so there was no difference whether he used it or not.

Second, he was clear in his mind that in the second event, the armor must be located deep in the mountain range, and not pre-positioned. Instead, after the competitors encountered various tribulations and entered the depths of the mountains, officials would then lay it out in front of the people to incite a deadly struggle for possession.

Although this was just his speculation, he trusted his own thinking.

It was indeed boring to walk like this, especially with a beauty at his side, and no opportunity for conversation.

In fact, not only Wang Xiaoqiang was bored, but everyone in the group felt the same, especially the powerful man with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable. After being rejected by Zhao Feiyan, he harbored a bellyful of sinister fire. Despite continual attempts by others to engage him in conversation, he ignored them all.

Seeing the strongest member of the team refraining from speaking, no one else dared to speak much either, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Suddenly, the strongest man in the group with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable at the very front halted in his tracks.

When he stopped, everyone else stopped as well.

This man with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable had long considered himself the leader. He believed he was the master of this team. So, at that moment, he ordered in an unquestionable tone, "Walking like this is simply a waste of time. Everyone, follow me, and let's fly forward!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

Because if they were to fly using Sky Manipulation, not only would it consume Spiritual Power, but the key issue was that it would cause a fluctuation of Spiritual Power. Especially if this large group of people flew together, it would inevitably cause significant Spiritual Power Waves, attracting the attack of flying beasts.

If one or two, three or four, or even ten or twelve flying beasts appeared, it wouldn't matter much. But if it attracted a large number of them, it would undoubtedly lead to catastrophe!

Although they all knew it was a suicidal act, no one dared to say no, fearing the Cultivation Base of the man with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

Except for Zhao Feiyan. She frowned and said, "Doing this is courting death!"

Upon hearing her words, everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Feiyan.

The powerful man with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable stared at Zhao Feiyan, his pupils contracting, his gaze turning cold,

This woman, the fact that she had ignored him was one thing, but now she dared to go against his wishes.

In truth, the man with the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable also knew that Skyflight had many disadvantages, but he wanted to create a bit of danger. He especially wanted to see the ice-queen beauty in peril so he could play the hero and save her, seizing the opportunity to get close and win her heart.

Ancient sayings go, "Beauty brings trouble," and this saying seemed not the least bit false. A woman too beautiful not only brings disasters to others but also to herself. (To be continued.
