Chapter 565 Giving Gifts, Exchanging Cards
|||I am just joking with you. There’s no way Master can co here.||| The Immortal Empress hastily replied as she saw Alex’s panicking face. |||Junior Brother, do you really think that I can call Master this easily?|||
"Ehem. Why are you asking ? You’re the one who said it in the first place. It’s just right for to panic, okay?" Upon realizing that he had sowhat embarrassed himself, Alex let out a small cough while he averted his gaze. "You’re a Half-Step Transcendent Being in the first place, so I thought you were serious..."
|||Junior Brother, as I said, I was just joking. I-|||
"...Ok. If you’re really joking, then how are you going to prove that you are indeed here to help ?" Alex blurted out as he crossed his arms. He then continued to give the Immortal Empress a stern look, as if he was daring her to do sothing. "Co on, be truthful to . With Great TiMaster by my side, there is no way for you to try sothing malicious here..."
|||....|||
"...."
|||...|||
"...."
|||Junior Brother, I have no perfect proof that I can show to you, because I never ca here to prove myself. I ca here to help you out, whether you believe or not.||| The Immortal Empress seem to be calm as she gave this reply, with her solid gaze unaffected by Alex’s glare. |||So, just accept my gifts to you, ok? I swear, these will be beneficial to you...|||
"Hum~"
Before Alex could give a comnt on this, the Immortal Empress casually waved her hands, creating a small portal that hovered above Alex’s head.
"Shuro..." This portal has the diater as large as a hula-hoop, with its inside seemingly made up of nothing but emptiness and distorted space. Small pulses of spatial power could be felt coming out of the portal, sothing that made the nearby Alex tense quickly.
"Thud thud thud."
Once this portal made its appearance, 9 black briefcases fell out of it, all which began falling straight towards Alex.
Each of the briefcases were just as large as the classic briefcases, and they actually seem to be just normal briefcases, even in the eyes of the suspicious Alex.
But even with their normal appearance, Alex knew that these briefcases were nothing but that. After all, they just ca out of an extrely stable spatial portal, which was created by a Half-Step Transcendent Being! There’s just no way that these briefcases can be normal if they were summoned this way!
"Slick slick slick!" Before these briefcases could touch his body, Alex used his Abyss Magic to create large tendrils of Abyss Energy which caught the briefcases. He made sure none of these tendrils were touching his body at any ti, in case there were sothing malicious hidden in the briefcases.
"...."
With the strength of Alex’s abyss tendrils, they were able to catch and secure the briefcases without any fuss, allowing Alex to keep the briefcases while also maintaining so distance with them.
"So, these are your gifts to ? I wonder how these briefcases might be of ’help’ to ...." Instead of opening the briefcases directly, Alex turned his attention back to the Immortal Empress, giving her a small, inquisitive look while keeping all the briefcases afloat in the air. "And why are the gifts inside briefcases? Is there so kind of the that I don’t know about?"
|||Sigh, Junior Brother, why are you this suspicious? Can’t you just-|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cTraveler Alex, if you are this coward to even accept a gift from the Immortal Empress, then let , the Arcane Sorceress, open those things for you!\u003e\u003e\u003e Out of nowhere, the strangely silent Arcane Sorceress began to speak up, with her aggressive words obviously intended towards the Immortal Empress again. \u003c\u003c\u003c Hmph, with here, there’s no way that this old hag can do sothing dirty!\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||Hah? What the f**k do you think are you doing, Arcane Sorceress? Do you think you can just co in here to interrupt us? If you want to play with my Junior Brother, do it later!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cToo late, Immortal Empress. I’m already opening all the briefcases!\u003e\u003e\u003e Before the enraged Immortal Empress could make a move, the Arcane Sorceress let out an excited laugh as she summoned a small, wooden staff to her hands. She then pointed it to the briefcases, with the hidden power in her body suddenly fed to the staff. \u003c\u003c\u003cHehehe, let’s see what you are giving to Traveler Alex! I hope these gifts suck. That way, I can insult you more...\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||Hey!|||
"Buo~"
The large, circular end of this staff then let out a red glow which covered the whole room, temporarily blinding Alex and the others with its great glow. This lasted for around a second, and only when this ti has passed by that Alex’s vision has returned.
"???"
At the mont that Alex was able to see again, the first thing that he saw was the Arcane Sorceress dismissing her staff with a satisfied expression, along with the enraged face of Immortal Empress.
After that, the next thing that he saw were the 9 briefcases, with all of them still floating in the air, but this ti, with their contents displayed for everyone to see!
|||Argh, you’ve done it now, Arcane Sorceress! You are so dead to !||| As Alex and the others began to feast their eyes on the opened briefcases, the stupefied Immortal Empress could only shout in rage as she tried her best to close the briefcases again. |||Let close these briefcases this instant! Only my Junior Brother is allowed to see them!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cNuh uh uh, why would I allow you to do that, Immortal Empress? Co on, the briefcases are already open, so let us observe these gifts too! Don’t tell you’re embarrassed to let us see these?\u003e\u003e\u003e The Arcane Sorceress then let out another laugh as she unleashed more of her aura, which effectively disrupted the Immortal Empress’ spell on the briefcases. \u003c\u003c\u003cImmortal Empress, you have already shared your lover before, so sharing these gifts should be easy for you, right?"
|||You!!!|||
With the presence of the Arcane Sorceress, the Immortal Empress had failed to close the briefcases, leading to more chaos inside the room.
"Spill spill spill!"
With the clash of auras between Immortal Empress and Arcane Sorceress, the gifts inside the briefcases were now thrown around the room like ragdolls, with so of the gifts dangerously close to hitting Alex and the others.
Alex can only jump around the room as he dodged the gifts, as he realized that touching so of the gifts at this kind of situation will just lead to more chaos.
The Arcane Sorceress however did not think the sa, as she just casually grabbed one of the gifts out of the air. She then inspected it for a second, before she threw it away again.
\u003c\u003c\u003cOh my, Immortal Empress. When you said that you are giving Traveler Alex so gifts, I thought you were just referring to pretty mundane ones. But after opening your briefcases, I can see that you have put so effort here. Damn, even I can only feel impressed by this!\u003e\u003e\u003e The Arcane Sorceress said with an impressed tone, with her face looking undeniably amazed. It was as if the nature of Immortal Empress’ gifts had amazed her, a reaction that Alex shared too.
\u003c\u003c\u003cImmortal Empress, you’re planning to give these things to Traveler Alex? You do know that these things are precious, right?\u003e\u003e\u003e The Arcane Sorceress added as she gave the Immortal Empress a look of both surprise and inquiry. \u003c\u003c\u003cI an, just look at the thing that I grabbed earlier! If you could sell that to an auction, you can get at most an uninhabited Stage 3 Planet from it! It is that good, and yet you’re giving it as a gift? Immortal Empress, are you right in your mind?\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||Hmph, I don’t care what you think about my gifts, Arcane Sorceress. It is my decision on what I want to do, and I don’t need your opinion to do so! So, why don’t you just scram from here, and let and my Junior Brother go on our business? At least that way, you will be more useful!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cHeh, why would I leave when your ’show’ is not yet done? I will only leave once you’re done pitching your flowery words to Traveler Alex. So go on, Immortal Empress. Go and start your ’gift-giving’ ceremony. That way, my boredom here will be relieved...\u003e\u003e\u003e
