Chapter 249

Little Ying didn't believe Jiang Xiu's words. Although Gaulle's public security wasn't as good as China's, she thought it won't be that dangerous. She felt that he was trying to get rid of her, after all, just based on her appearance, she couldn't even compare with Long Yingqing who was accompanying him. "Don't lie, okay? Let's have fun together. We even have barbecue stuff…"


Jiang Xiu had already started walking towards Labelle Grass Mountain along with Long Yingqing. As far as the eyes went, a lush green covered the mountain range. Ruins of a damaged castle could be seen on the peak. According to Gaulle's history books, a war had broken out two times here in the past, and this castle was destroyed during it. It had a dense historical feel.


The boy said, "Little Ying, leave it alone. Why are you trying to get close to him when he's ignoring you?"


"That's what's called acting 'cool,' you won't understand." Little Ying replied.


"Isn't he just a little handsome? What's the use of that thing? Nowadays, background and assets are more important. My family even has a wine farm in Gaulle which is worth 100 million in the market."


"My parents care about your money, but I don't care about it at all. I like handsome men. Attractive Index is justice! Got it?"


The boy muttered, "Am I in the wrong for being ugly?"


Little Ying's gaze followed Jiang Xiu's silhouette which was farther now. She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Too perfect. He's just like the most perfect God who has walked out from the myths."


"Little Ying, you're too young and muddled by these external things. One becomes old along with age. When looking at a person, you must look at his talent, as talent won't fade away with age."


"I can look at that thing called talent when I'm a 40-year-old woman."


"You aren't planning to fangirl about teen male idols when you're 40, right?"


Little Ying didn't reply as she felt there was a high chance of that happening.


Attractive Index is everything!


Little Ying said, "Jian Rong, why don't you just give up? I don't like you. Even if you and I get together, I'll only like your money, not you."


The boy nodded excitedly, "It's enough to just like my money, it's not like I have any talents!"


Little Ying rolled her eyes at him then ignored him. Their car slowly entered the town and when they arrived there, they were almost dumbfounded due to the shock. Red warning tape was put over many regions, and there were armed personnel holding guns everywhere. There were numerous cars and even more people. Moreover, all the cars were expensive ones. Their off-road Benz SUV couldn't even be compared to them.


Once the news that Jiang Luoxia was going to Heaven's Gate spread, it wasn't just Korea's Lee family who rushed over due to their hate for him. Martial artists from China, and Japan, European experts, and people from Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan had rushed over too.


This matter was pretty serious. Heaven's Gate had never suffered such disgrace, and the Demigods that had gathered were no lesser than 50. Over 10,000 men had assembled at this tiny town today.


Gaulle's Department of Defense was too tensed up and sent out all of its armed force led by its experts.


"W-What's happening?"


Little Ying was utterly dumbfounded and couldn't help but recall Jiang Xiu's words. That man was stupefied as well. "I've come here several times but never seen such a scene."


She said, "Maybe some country's government dignitary has come here to have fun?"


All the man could see were pricey cars as well as many big shots being escorted by bodyguards in black suits. "It's really too ostentatious."


Little Ying commented, "Some might've even though Gaulle is in a state of war."


A passerby used English to speak to them, "You are ordinary people?"


"Are you not?" Little Ying questioned back.


That foreigner was dazed, "Alright, it looks like you don't understand what's going to happen. A battle between Gods is going to take place here. If you're just an ordinary person, it's best for you to quickly leave this place."


Little Ying almost giggled, "You say it as if you're speaking the truth. A battle between Gods?"


"War of Gods?"


The foreigner replied, "More or less. War of Gods is a confrontation between two sides and this time, it's one entity versus the others." His eyes were filled with mania.


"Are you telling the truth?" Little Ying questioned him.


Jian Rong said, "Mister, you must be kidding, right?!"


The foreigner just smiled without replying to them.


"What are they doing over there?"


Many machines were moved over, and there were even filming vans. There was also a spybot being tested in the sky. The foreigner explained, "It's to film the battle."


The things which are filmed would become the deepest secret of each country.


Little Ying wasn't even scared at all, "Can I watch too?"


The foreigner muttered to himself. It was clear her curiosity wasn't going to back down, and he wanted to show off a little too. Since the main event hadn't begun yet, they wouldn't be able to see anything, so he let her follow him. However, after Little Ying saw the view on the monitor, she was stunned. A man and a woman were riding big, strong horses across the bumpy grass mountain. "Isn't that…"


"We know him!"


The foreigner laughed, "You two must be kidding, right? You know Jiang Luoxia?"


Little Ying said, "Jiang Luoxia. Fudge! That handsome guy actually gave a fake name to me. We really know him. They came over here in our car. The girl accompanying him was called Long…"


The foreigner's gaze turned solemn, "Long Yingqing!"


"Yeh, Long Yingqing!"


The foreigner's expression warped as he held his head exaggeratedly, "Oh my God! You really know Jiang Luoxia. He came here in your car?"


"Is he really that amazing?"


The foreigner almost dropped to the ground hearing this question. "Do you know who initiated this unprecedented battle? It's him, that boy, China's No.1 Demigod!"


"Demigod?"


On the monitor, Jiang Xiu sensed someone spying on him. His gaze swept across everywhere and discovered a tiny spybot flying in the sky. He waved his hand, sending an invisible energy wave towards it, destroying the spybot.


After Jiang Xiu and Long Yingqing entered the town, they discovered a lot of people had gathered here. It wasn't possible to drive a car inside the mountain range, and Long Yingqing told him the Holy Land was still quite far. Last time, she had gone there on a horse, so the two of them went to the ranch to hire horses.


Long Yingqing commented, "Using a spybot to film is too naïve. It can't even fly to the Holy Land, and even if it were able to, it'll go out of the operating range."


It was only possible to film from one place, which was a satellite within the outer space.


In fact, the things filmed by satellites far exceeded what humans are aware of.


"Are you really going in?"


"Of course, don't ask such a silly question."


"It's not even in the least bit silly. Do you know how many experts are inside? There are…" She stopped speaking. She knew the strength of Heaven's Gate, but the Long family was also a branch of Heaven's Gate. If she leaked out information about them, she'd be betraying the Long family. "There are over 20 Demigods!"


Yet she still revealed it!


"Can't you just keep low until things settle down? I heard China is forbidden ground for Heaven's Gate, that they don't dare to enter China as they wish. My Long family is the sole exception as we had contributed a lot to the country's founding. Even if it's this way, my Long family's Demigod also can't stay in China and spends most of the time living in Europe."


"You can return home!"


"There's no need to fight with them."


Long Yingqing urged the horse to pursue after Jiang Xiu while spending all her energy to persuade him.


Jiang Xiu's horse was unbelievably fast, its legs full of power and carrying an aura which seemed to express its intent to trample the sun, moon and the stars. He replied in a cold voice, "It's too late since I've already come here."


"They also won't let me leave!"


Just as he said these words, an off-road vehicle came outside. As the mountain range was full of ups and downs, it was unclear how this off-road vehicle was brought here.


A Korean man wearing a black suit and a sinister expression showed his face from inside the vehicle. "Long Yingqing, you really have some guts to betray Heaven's Gate and lead the enemy into the Holy Land."


"Die!"


Jiang Xiu suddenly leaped from the horseback and dropped from the sky, stepping on that man's head. The man, as well as the car, caved into the ground, and that man's head pierced into his body due to being stepped on. "China's Jiang Luoxia has arrived as planned!"


His voice echoed across the entire mountain range like a clap of thunder, passing through each nook. Clouds gathered across the skies and enveloped the whole mountain range. It was quite the majestic scene, almost as if the heavens were falling.
