Chapter 291 Zheng Huangtong
"You you you you..."
The usually calm and aloof Zheng Huangtong was momentarily lost in thought, pointing at the boy in front of her, her voice even stuttering slightly.
This clearly shows the shock she felt.
"You're Jiang Yuan?!"
Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised: "You know me?"
Zheng Huangtong stared at him blankly.
She would never have imagined this.
The young man who single-handedly overpowered the Zhao family and shook the capital was actually her online friend!
Unlike Zheng Huangtong's shock, Jiang Yuan was only surprised for a moment before he understood the general idea.
The woman before him was extremely beautiful, and the archer's set she wore was all top-notch. Even her earrings were rare epic-level defensive accessories. She was also a ninth-tier grandmaster... It was easy to imagine that her background was extraordinary, and it was not surprising that she knew him.
"I think I'm late. Something came up and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Jiang Yuan said.
Zheng Huangtong regained her senses, calmed her shaken heart, and smoothed a stray strand of silver hair behind her ear. She smiled and said, "I didn't wait long, only about an hour. This is the first time I've waited so long for someone, but it was worth it."
"I never expected that my online friend would be none other than the recently famous Jiang Shen."
"To be honest, I've heard your name more than once recently."
As she spoke, she extended her right hand, her eyes gleaming, and said, "Let's get to know each other again. I am Zheng Huangtong of the Zheng family, a ninth-level Grandmaster."
Jiang Yuan glanced at her, reached out, and gently shook her hand; her skin felt smooth and delicate.
"Jiang Yuan, seventh rank."
Upon hearing this...
Zheng Huangtong's heart skipped a beat again.
Seventh rank?! Only seventh rank?!
A seventh-rank cultivator can actually stand up to the Zhao family and face a quasi-king?!
Zheng Huangtong looked at Jiang Yuan with a hint of disbelief, as if he were a monster.
Jiang Yuan was already used to it.
He laughed and said, "I never expected that someone with an ID like 'I'll shoot you without guilt' would be a beauty like Miss Zheng."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Zheng Huangtong's face. "Haha, it was all because my friends encouraged me. We were young and impetuous..."
Jiang Yuan smiled without saying a word.
You can roughly tell a person's personality from their ID. Zheng Huangtong, who is in front of you, is indeed born into a prestigious family and has outstanding talent, but she does not have the arrogance of a noble family. Instead, she gives people a carefree and generous temperament, which, combined with her stunning appearance, creates an attractive contrast.
Jiang Yuan made a good impression at their first meeting.
"The book 'The Eye of True Sight' that you sold me back then was quite useful."
Upon hearing this...
Zheng Huangtong gave an awkward smile, "Really...that's good..."
The skill book contained a curse, and its actual price of 2100 million was a bit too high; she actually made a small profit.
The thought of a curse came to mind.
Her companion's pained expression flashed through her mind, but remembering the important matter at hand, she asked seriously, "Do you really have a way to break a high-level curse?"
"As long as it's not at the King level or above, I don't think it'll be too difficult," Jiang Yuan said.
The power of the Flame and the Eternal Imperial Flame are enough to grant immunity to all curses below the King level.
A hint of joy flashed in Zheng Huangtong's eyes.
She might have doubted such boasts from others, but from the person right in front of her...
Without hesitation.
Zheng Huangtong took out a palm-sized energy core that emitted a metallic silver light. The outside was sealed by a complicated mechanical device, but the terrifying energy emanating from the inside could still be felt.
"Look, is this what you wanted?"
Jiang Yuan reached out and took it, his eyes fixed on it.
[Contaminated Ancient Mechanical Energy Core]: A special item, a crystallization of ancient wisdom, containing extremely terrifying energy. It can be used by mechanics who have mastered ancient techniques to create high-level mechanical artifacts, or to make energy weapons. Unfortunately, its interior has been contaminated by a powerful curse and needs to be purified before it can be used...
As Jiang Yuan examined the [contaminated alien ancient mechanical energy core].
Zheng Huangtong sized up the black-clad youth in front of her.
Just like Xiaoyu said, she looks even better than in the photos.
His handsome features seemed to possess a magical power, attracting attention and making it impossible to look away. He had an indescribable allure to the opposite sex.
Even though Zheng Huangtong was a ninth-level Grandmaster, after looking at it a few more times, he felt his mouth go dry.
She couldn't help but look away, but her eyes still couldn't resist stealing glances at the boy's nose, lips, and neck.
Your skin is so nice.
Her skin was as white as crystal-clear jade, giving her a spotless, crystal-like appearance.
Correct.
It's crystal.
The boy's first impression on Zheng Huangtong was that he was clear and transparent.
Yet it also possesses a sense of nobility and mystery.
His aura was so concealed that even she, a ninth-level grandmaster, could hardly detect it and could not judge his specific realm. No wonder Zheng Xiaoyu felt that he was like the big brother next door and dared to go up and chat with him.
It's hard to imagine him as a tyrant, brandishing a knife and looking down on everyone like in the photos...
"The items are fine."
Jiang Yuan's voice startled Zheng Huangtong from her thoughts.
"This is exactly what I wanted."
Zheng Huangtong asked almost instinctively, "Really? The pollution in here is very strong, you..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
A golden flame emerged from Jiang Yuan's hand, sacred and pure.
Zheng Huangtong seemed to see a bonfire that was born in the darkest hour of ancient times, passed down for thousands of years, and never dying out.
As the flames of the torch swept across the [contaminated ancient mechanical energy core], enveloping it, a hissing black light immediately emerged from the energy core.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
A piercing, shrill scream rang out, and ripples of purple mental pollution spread outwards.
The entire square was affected; martial artists felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit, while some ordinary people vomited and fainted on the spot.
Zheng Huangtong, her heart tightening, looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no casualties.
Look again.
The corrupted ancient mechanical energy core instantly erupted with a dazzling black light. Accompanied by a piercing mental pollution, dark, viscous, twisted, and ferocious energy bodies desperately rushed out from within, trying to rush towards Jiang Yuan and Zheng Huangtong.
Zheng Huangtong's expression was solemn.
"This is it!"
This is the contamination that has accumulated on these ancient machines!
The infection was exactly the same as the one his partner had!
"Can it be removed?" she asked Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, but with a thought, the golden flames transformed into a giant hand, grasping the entire energy core.
moment.
The strange substance that had just burst out of the energy core was completely enveloped by the golden flames, as if it had been thrown into the sea, instantly burning and turning into nothingness.
"The mechanical curse that I couldn't eradicate even with so many purification tools was so easily removed..."
Watching the curse gradually turn into black light and disappear completely in the golden flames, Zheng Huangtong was shocked, but a hint of joy couldn't help but show on her face.
"Great! Xiao Qing is saved!"
Kui Xin and Fu Shenxing, who had tracked them down nearby, also immediately sensed the anomaly.
The two immediately went to the square.
Aside from the haphazardly arranged crowd.
The most eye-catching people were the man and woman near the fountain.
The moment I saw that tall, straight-looking boy in black, surrounded by a blue light spot.
Kuixin's eyes lit up.
"Found it!"
