Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2872: Chapter 2873: Eavesdropping

"Strange, why is there not a single sound?"

Shu Jingchu tilted her head and pressed her ear against the door of the secret room, carefully listening to the movements inside.

According to her guess, the secret room should be filled with indescribable sounds at this moment.

That’s also why she sneaked over here, shamelessly eavesdropping.

But she was greatly disappointed.

There wasn’t any movement to make one’s face blush and heart race, not even the sound of talking, as if the people inside had all fallen asleep.

Could it be that I am late and everything is over?

Thinking this, Shu Jingchu couldn’t help but pout.

She thought it was impressive to buy ten beauties at a time, but it turned out to be all show and no substance!

Just as she was secretly despising Xue An, a voice full of shock and confusion came.

"Holy Maiden, what are you doing here?"

Shu Jingchu was taken aback and looked up.

She saw Wu Qiming standing not far away, looking at her with confusion.

Shu Jingchu’s toes awkwardly dug into the shoe soles, but she remained calm and lightly coughed and said softly.

"Oh, I just happened to pass by here and heard some commotion inside, worried that it was a thief invading, so I listened a bit!"

"Thief invading?" Wu Qiming blinked and looked at the secret room, wondering what kind of thief would dare to infiltrate the headquarters of the Palace of Light.

But he did not dare voice this doubt, instead, he asked with great enthusiasm.

"Holy Maiden, leave the rest to me, I will enter the secret room now, and if there is indeed a thief inside, I promise he won’t get away!"

"No need, I already listened carefully, there’s nothing inside, perhaps I misheard!"

"Better to check it out, it’s more comforting that way, isn’t it?" Wu Qiming wanted to show his eagerness.

But at this moment, Shu Jingchu couldn’t hold it anymore, she put on a stern face, displaying the dignity of the Holy Maiden.

"I said no, so no, why so much nonsense?"

This harsh rebuke made Wu Qiming suddenly realize he’d tried to flatter the wrong person.

He was currently in high spirits.

Even though the Great Elder of the Elders Council was still alive, stripped of divine power he was as good as dead.

This resulted in the domains he had controlled losing control.

Thus, a huge power vacuum appeared within the Palace of Light.

Wu Qiming, being one who was adept at exploiting, quickly swore allegiance to Xue An.

Xue An naturally couldn’t be bothered with such a small fry.

He had no interest in the power distribution within the Palace of Light.

Moreover, Wu Qiming had a Talisman Spell planted in his mind, ensuring absolute loyalty, so Xue An spared him and kept him.

Wu Qiming, riding this wave, soon took over most of the Great Elder’s power.

Thus, this upheaval brought him blessings in disguise, enriching him greatly.

Today, upon hearing Xue An was here, he wanted to express his loyalty to Xue An.

But unexpectedly, he encountered the sneaky Shu Jingchu, resulting in a scolding.

He regretted immensely, nodding and bowing in apologies, and then trying to leave.

Just then, the door of the secret room opened.

Taken by surprise, Shu Jingchu almost fell into the room, luckily a hand held her up, preventing her from falling.

Wu Qiming, who was about to leave, was also stunned.

Xue An stood at the door, with Shu Jingchu leaning towards him in a highly suggestive posture, supported by his hand on her shoulder.

The posture was indescribably strange.

The next moment, he heard Xue An say calmly, "Heard enough?"

Shu Jingchu’s face flushed red, awkwardly standing up straight, "I... I was just passing by...."

Xue An didn’t listen to her explanation, directly calling out to Wu Qiming, who was preparing to sneak away.

"Don’t leave yet!"

Wu Qiming immediately stopped, then asked smilingly.

"What do you need, sir?"

"Prepare food and drinks for ten people and bring them to this room! Remember it must be clean, preferably fruits and vegetarian dishes, no meat!"

"Yes, yes!" Wu Qiming nodded and bowed, "I’ll prepare it now!"

"Alright! Go!"

Wu Qiming quickly turned to leave.

Before he left, the last thing he heard was Xue An saying.

"If you’ve heard enough, then leave!"

Wu Qiming, slightly bewildered, shivered involuntarily, then ran away frantically.

Shu Jingchu, now relaxed, took a peek into the room, but Xue An blocked her view, forcing her to withdraw her gaze and ask.

"Where to?"

"To sleep, of course, what else?"

"Sleep? Haven’t you slept enough in there?"

Shu Jingchu’s tone was strange, carrying a hint of sarcasm and mockery.

Xue An naturally understood her meaning, but he didn’t show any expression, just glanced coldly at Shu Jingchu and walked away.

Shu Jingchu expected Xue An to react angrily, but when Xue An remained so calm, she was puzzled.

It was not until Xue An walked far away that she reacted, hurriedly following him.

"Hey, wait, are you really going to sleep?"

"What do you think?"

"I thought...."

"You thought I’d spend the night in the secret room, right?"

"Hehe!" Shu Jingchu awkwardly chuckled, about to apologize when she saw Xue An striding away.

"Don’t follow me, talk to me about anything tomorrow!"

With that, Xue An turned and disappeared around the corridor corner.

Shu Jingchu was utterly stunned by Xue An’s swift departure, burning with anger.

"Damn it, as if anyone wants to talk to you, hmph!"

Shu Jingchu left furiously.

After they both left, Wu Qiming personally brought food and drinks to the secret room’s door.

When he opened the door, Wu Qiming was dumbfounded, forgetting even his prepared speech.

The Elf Woman who opened the door was delighted, "Did that warrior send you to deliver food?"

"Uh... yes!" Wu Qiming nodded awkwardly, his shock not lessened.

Because behind the door stood nine beauties.

"Well, then give it to me, thank you so much!"

"You’re... welcome, if you need anything, just let me know!" Wu Qiming smiled with difficulty.

Once the secret room door closed again, Wu Qiming couldn’t smile anymore, replaced by infinite shock and admiration.

He had witnessed Shu Jingchu listening at the door, followed by Xue An calmly emerging from the secret room.
