C755 The Wall

Bing Yue's respectful address to Woo Zhengyang as "sir" immediately caught everyone on the platform by surprise. Like Sun Mingyuan, many present were prominent figures in Golden Scale City and naturally leaned towards the view that Bing Yue was leading their relationship. Others, less familiar with the situation, also sided with Sun Mingyuan's confident assumption.

However, Bing Yue shattered their perceptions with just a single phrase. If this stunning woman were truly in charge, would she need to address the man so cautiously and ask for his guidance?

Woo Zhengyang understood that Bing Yue was trying to give him face. Although he usually didn't care for such trivial matters, Bing Yue had already put him in the spotlight, and he couldn't disregard her gesture.

Just as Woo Zhengyang was about to speak, a thought struck him. Feigning confusion, he asked, "Now that you mention it, I can't quite recall. Which family are you from, Yue?"

The crowd, still reeling from Bing Yue's initial address, was now even more astonished by Woo Zhengyang's words. What was going on here? This breathtaking woman seemed so devoted to him, yet he appeared unsure of her identity. Wait a minute... which family? What did that mean? Could it be that this extraordinary warrior wasn't his beloved partner, but merely a favored maid from one of his households?

This is just too much to handle!

As everyone stood there in disbelief, the woman glanced at the man with a hint of sadness and softly said, "Sir, it's understandable you don't know. I originally served Lady Bing, who then passed me to Lady Jing, who passed me to Lady Li, and then to Lady Huo, and finally to Lady Wu. Lady Wu instructed me to accompany you on this journey."

Hearing this, everyone was utterly shocked. It turns out this stunning woman, who calls herself Yue, is actually a handmaid passed from one lady to another.

Moreover, from Yue's words, they learned about Lady Bing, Lady Li, Lady Jing, Lady Huo, and even Lady Wu... Just how many ladies does this man have?

If even a handmaid like Yue is this beautiful, what kind of heavenly beauty must his official partner be?

Woo Zhengyang just wanted to tease Bing Yue a little, but he didn't expect her to play along so well, creating an elaborate story with five ladies. Now, he feared he might really earn a reputation as a playboy.

Sure enough, after hearing the exchange between Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue, the guy named Sun Mingyuan was initially stunned, then quietly slinked away.

A stunning beauty with the prowess of a martial king, yet she was merely a maid in a secondary position. Such a person was not someone he could afford to provoke. He hadn't seen her in Golden Scale City, which meant she likely wasn't from the Golden Scale Domain. She might be from the Limitless Domain or even another region, perhaps Central State.

Without needing to observe others' reactions, Woo Zhengyang knew people had likely misunderstood his identity, especially since Bing Yue played her role so convincingly. A martial king lowering herself to such a position, with a face full of grievance, was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the man beside her.

Woo Zhengyang hadn't anticipated things would unfold this way, but it worked out well. It saved a lot of trouble, as no one would covet Bing Yue's beauty anymore. The two smoothly entered the area where Void Stones were captured.

"Sir, is Yue'er serving you well?" Bing Yue asked with a beaming smile once they were inside, separated by a colorful barrier from other regions.

"Quite well. A martial king lowering herself to be my maid, how could it not be?" Woo Zhengyang replied with a mix of amusement and disbelief.

"As long as you're happy, Mr. Zhengyang, Yue'er would be delighted to truly be your maid," Bing Yue teased.

"Alright, enough of that. Let's focus on figuring out how to capture these Void Stones!"

Woo Zhengyang was completely outmatched by Bing Yue and didn't dare to mess with her any further, fearing what he might turn into next. Before arriving, Woo Zhengyang thought capturing a Void Stone required some skill. It turned out he was overthinking it. Catching a Void Stone was purely a matter of luck, with no skill involved at all. The two of them just needed to stay alert in their designated area, watching for any Void Stones approaching.

In this unique little world created by Qian's firm, there were two protective shields. Each area had a stone platform with a control switch for a formation. If a Void Stone got close enough to the world's shield, pressing the switch would temporarily disable the outermost barrier, creating a suction force to pull the Void Stone into the space between the two shields. Then, the outer barrier would reappear, and the second barrier would disappear, allowing the Void Stone to enter this space. Once inside, the Void Power would cause it to drift aimlessly, and people just needed to patiently catch it.

In other words, Qian's firm had set everything up. Once people entered, it was all about waiting for luck to strike. If a Void Stone came close, they had a chance to catch it. If not... well, they just had to keep waiting.

"So we're just sitting here waiting, huh..." Woo Zhengyang remarked, somewhat speechless.

"That's right, just waiting around. So, Mr. Zhengyang, should we do something meaningful while we wait?"

"Something meaningful?"

"Yeah, since we're just sitting here anyway..." Bing Yue said, giving Woo Zhengyang a playful wink.

Woo Zhengyang dreaded being alone with Bing Yue. From their first meeting, she had boldly tried to seduce him, and every time they were alone, she would recreate that scene.

To say it was a mere reenactment wouldn't be entirely accurate. Back then, Bing Yue had used the opportunity to test Woo Zhengyang's character. It was her first attempt at such a seduction, so her mindset was different. But now, her reenactments had lost any hint of being a test.

Bing Yue's skills had only grown stronger over time. Each time Woo Zhengyang dodged her advances, she would up her game, leaving him with no choice but to retreat.

And now, Bing Yue was at it again. In this enclosed little world... where could he possibly escape to?

"Mr. Zhengyang, why are you backing away?" As Woo Zhengyang retreated, Bing Yue advanced, cornering him against a barrier.

With nowhere left to run, Bing Yue trapped him with her arms on either side, leaving Woo Zhengyang with no escape.
