Chapter 2772
by“How is it？” Yang Kai looked at the woman with a smile.
“Oh…” The woman reached out and scratched her head, turned her gaze aside, and giggled dryly, “This warship is refined… really… not bad, hahaha…”
Nanmen Dajun smiled at the side and said, “Little Marquis, remember what you said before？”
The woman glared at him and then put on a ruffian’s stance, looking at Yang Kai and saying, “Alright, although I have some small shortcomings in my character…”
“Small shortcomings?” Nanmen Dajun’s forehead blue veins twitched.
“But I also have advantages. My greatest advantage is that I am willing to admit defeat when I lose！” The woman looked at Yang Kai and said freely, “Since this is the case, then when shall we get married？”
“There is no need to get married.” Yang Kai raised his hand to refuse. “Master Hou is a generation of weapon refining masters. The main purpose of my coming here is to invite you to sit in the Lingxiao Palace and take on the position of the chief weapon refiner. For the previous slight offenses, please don’t blame me, Master Hou.”
“Giggle…” The woman covered her mouth and laughed charmingly, her body trembling like a flower. “Little brother can really talk.” Her face suddenly became serious and she said, “Let’s make it clear. It’s you who doesn’t need me to fulfill the agreement, not that I’m in debt. My reputation cannot be tainted.”
“Dajun can testify.” Yang Kai smiled slightly and added, “The premise is that Master Hou is willing to go back to the Lingxiao Palace with me.”
When the woman heard this, her expression became serious. She tilted her head and looked at Nanmen Dajun, carefully considered for a while, and then said, “If it weren’t for Dajun, no matter how many benefits your Lingxiao Palace has, I wouldn’t consider it. But since Dajun has already joined… I’ll go and join in the fun too.”
“Definitely won’t disappoint Master Hou！” Yang Kai smiled and nodded.
“Don’t be in a hurry！” The woman raised a hand and said, “Before that, I have another condition.”
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and nodded, saying, “Speak.”
“Your condition is this？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.
“That’s right！” The woman nodded.
Yang Kai was speechless. Before, he heard from Nanmen Dajun that this Master Hou was addicted to gambling, and he never had the opportunity to experience it. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened before leaving.
This Void Grade battle boat refined by Yang Yan should have great appeal to her.So she asked Yang Kai to use it as a stake.
“Alright！” Yang Kai naturally had no problem. It was just a bet anyway. “If I win, then what？ What is your stake？”
“I naturally have something to compensate you!” The woman snorted and shouted in a deep voice, “Bet big or bet small?”
Yang Kai looked at Nanmen Dajun, and the latter said, “Palace Master, just bet casually. Don’t worry about her playing tricks on this. This guy is extremely serious about gambling and will never play tricks.”
“Then big,” Yang Kai said casually. Anyway, winning or losing didn’t matter. Losing was just a matter of a Void-level warship.
Nanmen Dajun quietly took out a spatial ring, threw it on the rock, and said, “I also bet big.”
The woman sneered at Nanmen Dajun and said, “Be careful of losing everything.”
“Don’t worry, I can win you even with my eyes closed.”
“Come on, come on, the bet is set, hands off, open！”
……
A moment later, the woman grabbed her right wrist with her left hand, shook it vigorously, and with a look of hatred as if someone had killed her father, she said painfully, “Chop off my hand. Why is it big？”
Nanmen Dajun calmly took back the spatial ring and said, “Calculated, you owe me 50 million source crystals in total, Little Hou.”
“Keep it on the books！” The woman glared at him angrily and then looked at Yang Kai. Sighing, she said, “Since I lost, I’ll give you something.”
As she spoke, she reached into her clothes, casually grabbed something, and threw it to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai caught it unprepared. When he took a closer look, he almost spurted out a nosebleed.
The woman chuckled and said, “It’s my personal underwear. It still has body temperature…”
Yang Kai said with a dark face, “What do I want this for！”
The woman said meaningfully： “Who knows…”
Yang Kai let out a sigh. Just as he was about to return this delicate bra to the other party, he suddenly frowned, reached out and shook the bra open, spreading it on his palm and carefully looking at it.
The woman had originally planned to make fun of Yang Kai, but when she saw his appearance, her heart skipped a beat. She quietly transmitted her voice to Nanmen Dajun and said： “Dajun, could our palace master be a virgin? Will I be eaten by him if I tease him like this?”
“With you？” Nanmen Dajun sneered contemptuously.
“What’s wrong with me？” The woman immediately became unhappy.
Over there, Yang Kai had actually noticed a clue. He looked up at the woman in surprise and said： “You are Master Hou？”
The woman was stunned for a moment and blinked： “Yes, my surname is Hou and my given name is Yu！”
“So you are Master Hou！” Yang Kai laughed heartily and pointed to a monkey head logo on the bra.
Only then did Hou Yu understand what he was talking about. She smiled slightly and said： “So you mean this. That’s right, I am the weapon refining master who is elusive like a dragon – Master Hou！”
“It’s actually you！” Yang Kai widened his eyes, but then nodded slightly and said： “I should have thought of it earlier.”
Previously on the flying boat of the southern gate army, Yang Kai saw a sculpture of a monkey’s head. At that time, he vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere before, but was interrupted before he could think about it carefully.
At this moment, when he saw the monkey head mark on this bra again, Yang Kai suddenly understood.
A few days ago, when he took Qin Yu to participate in the auction in Fenglin City, he bought a flowing cloud butterfly hairpin for her and spent a lot of high-grade source crystals. And there was such a monkey head mark on that flowing cloud butterfly hairpin.
According to what Qin Yu said at that time, this Master Monkey is an extremely mysterious weapon-refining master. No one even knows whether it is a man or a woman. However, the secret treasures refined by Master Monkey are all high-quality products, and each one can be sold at a high price.
And the name of Master Monkey enjoys a great reputation in the southern region. But what no one would have expected is that the true face of Master Monkey is actually a woman.
And she is a strange woman who likes to drink heavily, is addicted to gambling, and always loses when she gambles！
This is really a pleasant surprise. Originally, Hou Yu’s weapon-refining strength is extremely outstanding. Coupled with the reputation of Master Monkey, Lingxiao Palace has really made a profit this time.
Nowadays, Lingxiao Palace has gathered emperor-level alchemists, emperor-level formation masters, emperor-level weapon-refining masters, and even dabbled in the way of puppets. With the three great demon kings sitting in town and the cross-domain space connecting all over the place, it can be imagined that the rise of the sect will no longer be blocked by anyone.
Yang Kai was in a great mood and waved his hand, saying, “This Void Grade Warship is given to you. Anyway, for me, it’s just a memento.”
“Really?” Hou Yu was overjoyed and beamed with smiles. She even curtsied gracefully to Yang Kai and said gently, Then this concubine thanks the Palace Master for the reward.
Suddenly she was like this, and Yang Kai really wasn’t used to it.
In the blink of an eye, Hou Yu reverted to her old ways and rushed to the side of the Void Grade Warship, opened her arms and hugged it as if she was holding a peerless treasure.
Yang Kai unbranded his soul, and Hou Yu refined it again. Soon, she carefully put it away.
“Palace Master, if there is a chance in the future, I hope you can introduce the person who refined this Warship for me.” Hou Yu walked back and said with a solemn expression.
“There will be a chance.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. “Do you have anything else to pack？ If not, let’s go.”
Hou Yu sneered and said, “I have nothing.”
Years of gambling have made her almost lose all her family property. Although she is an Emperor Artifact Refiner, in fact, she is as poor as a church mouse.
“Then let’s go.” Yang Kai said. “Please don’t resist, you two.”
As he spoke, he activated the Spatial Law and Emperor Yuan to wrap them up. With a thought, he instantly disappeared from the cave.
As the field of vision changed, the three of them reappeared in the sky above the island.
Nanmen Dajun had long been prepared, so he didn’t feel anything. However, Hou Yu was greatly shocked and said in horror, “Space teleportation？”
In an instant, they came here from the cave, breaking through numerous barriers and formations. Hou Yu didn’t feel the slightest trace of Yang Kai using a secret treasure. There was only one explanation that could make sense.
“Palace Master, you are proficient in the Space Law？”
“Our Palace Master is extremely powerful. There will be more surprises for you in the future.” Nanmen Dajun chuckled.
Hou Yu’s heart shuddered. She secretly rejoiced that she had been fortunate not to have a direct conflict with Yang Kai before. Otherwise, with her strength, she might really not be a match. Being at the same level of Emperor Senior One, how terrifying could an opponent proficient in the Space Law be？
“Not good.” Hou Yu’s pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she urged Yang Kai, “Hurry up and leave. It will be too late if we don’t leave now.”
Yang Kai naturally knew what she was worried about and said, “One day, my Lingxiao Palace will surely become famous throughout the world. And as the chief refiner of my Lingxiao Palace you won’t be able to hide it. Instead of letting these people come to ask for debts at the Lingxiao Palace in the future and ruin the reputation of my Lingxiao Palace, it’s better to pay off the debts now.”
“Palace Master, you…” Hou Yu showed a touched expression.
But Yang Kai’s next words shattered her touch completely.
“All the repayments today will be deducted from your future monthly salary.”
“You stinky woman, you finally came out！ Even if you had wings today, you wouldn’t be able to escape！” As a furious shout rang out, a stream of light rushed over from a distance. At the same time, a shrill whistling of warning sounded out, resounding in all directions.
A moment later, a figure emerged from the stream of light. It was precisely the middle-aged man that Yang Kai and the Southern Gate army had encountered when they first arrived on the island two days ago. This person had the imposing manner of a Second-Order Emperor, extremely majestic and overwhelming, and his spiritual mind locked onto Hou Yu showing a posture that absolutely would not allow her to escape.
When he pounced close, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed towards Hou Yu.
The astonishing pressure descended like a great mountain, and Hou Yu couldn’t help but turn a little pale. Even the Southern Gate army’s figure swayed.
Both of them were only First-Order Emperors. Facing this Second-Order Emperor who was attacking with anger, they naturally had some difficulty in withstanding his might, and even their breathing became a little difficult.
