Keyboard Immortal Chapter 2314: First Miss' Request

Chapter 2314: First Miss’ Request

Zu An’s first reaction when he heard 'first miss' had been to a.s.sume that she was like Ren Yingying[1], or Rin Tohsaka[2] from that one anime. At the very least, she would be like Serena Sebastian[3], right?

He even secretly warned himself that he had come to the Monster World with a lot of responsibility, so he definitely couldn't have any of ‘that’ kind of relations.h.i.+p with the monsters here. He had already let down too many women. He didn’t want to develop feelings for a new one. He warned himself that he absolutely couldn't become a brother-con and pamper his little bro all the time, teasing women just because they were pretty.

But when he saw the figure in the forest, he was instantly struck speechless. His worries seemed to have been excessive…

The first miss had a human body. When Zu An fought with the powerful monster invaders, the higher-level monsters had almost always appeared in human form. Humanity seemed to embody the soul of all living beings, so cultivating in this form seemed to be a bit faster.

This first miss’ figure could be considered well-proportioned, and her outfit was also quite good. Her skin was fair like jade, and it wasn’t covered in scales and b.u.mpy like the Bloodthirst Crocodile. Together with her ident.i.ty as the first miss and her strong cultivation, even if she looked a bit ordinary, she could still be considered a beautiful woman. Even if she was a bit uglier, she could be praised as having some cla.s.s.

But she… She had a head that was like a dinosaur… in the literal sense.

A dinosaur head and a human body… If she were in their Cultivation World, it would definitely be horrifying. But this was quite normal in the monster world. Zu An had seen all kinds of weirdly-shaped monsters in the underground city on the way here. This was still on the better side. However, this was far from the image of a first miss he'd held in his mind.

He'd been 80% confident before, but now he was 100% sure that the lord Mojard had spoken of was the Lord of Slaughter. This was because this first miss’ head was practically identical to that of the Lord of Slaughter!

“Staring at a lady like that seems a bit rude,” the first miss said, sounding a bit unhappy.

You have successfully trolled Salamay for +110 +110 +110…

“I greet the first miss.” Zu An greeted her respectfully. He was a bit apologetic, feeling that he had judged too much by appearance.

Salamay’s expression eased a bit when she sensed the apology in his voice. “It was rumored that the True Demon race’s young master was handsome and confident. Now that I've met you today, it seems this is all... Delicate, fragile, and not st.u.r.dy enough.”

“I’ve let the first miss see a poor side of me.” Zu An thought to himself that the monsters really did have a different aesthetic of beauty. He really couldn't view things the same way, as a human.

After hearing his deferential words, Salamay’s unhappiness finally disappeared. “How goes the matter that Uncle Mo discussed with you?”

Zu An already had his suspicions, but he didn’t have enough intelligence. He could only carefully reply, “About that, it didn’t go too well…”

“What?!” Salamay slapped the table and stood up. “We gave you so many resources, and yet you couldn't even accomplish such a small matter in that weak world?”

You have successfully trolled Salamay for +300 +300 +300…

Zu An thought to himself, As expected. He replied in a troubled manner, “First miss, that world is actually not weak.”

He wanted to say that the War Priest, Shadow Monster King, Bloodthirst Crocodile, and the others had all been killed. But after thinking about it a bit more, he swallowed these words back down. He didn’t understand the degree of cooperation between Donaire and the other side yet. The more he said, the more mistakes there would be.

“Of course I know it’s not weak!” Salamay said with a cold snort. “Otherwise, how could the Monster Lord’s three armies all fail? So many powerful experts died in that world too. It’s just that I didn’t tell you to seize that world’s authority, and I just wanted you to find out the Shadow Monster King’s whereabouts. What’s so hard about that?”

Zu An was immediately glad when he heard that. Thank goodness he hadn’t given too many details, or else he would’ve already given himself away. “The main reason is that world’s regent is too strong, so it was difficult for anything I did to escape his notice. But I did find out a bit about the Shadow Monster King. It seems that everything bodes ill for him.”

“Then why did you say you didn’t find out anything?” Salamay gave him an annoyed look.

“I only said that it didn’t go too smoothly; I didn’t say I hadn't obtained any information.” Zu An thought, I didn’t know what you had Donaire take care of, so of course I had to reply like that. But now that he had an idea what was going on, replying became much easier. “I only know that the Shadow Monster King is most likely already dead, but I don’t have any concrete proof.”

He had personally seen the Shadow Monster King being killed by the Lord of Slaughter. Now, it seemed that the Shadow Monster King’s plan to become the master of the Lord of Slaughter really had been courting death.

“Useless! I know that the Shadow Monster King is most likely dead too. What I want is more precise information!” Salamay was dissatisfied with his answer.

“There was a big disturbance near the sealed land. The Shadow Monster King and the others were about to succeed, and the Fiend races’ Second Empress’ army was about to be wiped out. However, the regent then arrived and turned everything around. The Shadow Monster King and the other monsters were all wiped out too. Because of that, the sealed land’s events ended up drawing the vigilance of the people of the Cultivation World; troops were sent to seal off that side, and no one was allowed to get closer. That's why I don’t have proof for a lot of this information,” Zu An said.

“I have heard too many things related to that regent. Even though he is from the enemy camp, I actually admire him considerably. If we are to rule the Cultivation World in the future, I must meet him. If I find him pleasing, I might even make him the emperor’s son-in-law.” Salamay had a fascinated expression.

Zu An wiped at his cold sweat.

I hope you don’t meet him…

Salamay snapped out of her thoughts. “Do you have any information regarding my father?”

Zu An immediately felt a headache when he heard that. Just how was he supposed to answer? Was he supposed to say that her father had already been destroyed by an unspeakable being, and that there wasn’t even the slightest trace left?

He coughed and quickly said, “It is rumored that in the battle of the sealed land, the Cultivation World’s Great Snowy Mountain encountered a bit of a disturbance. Judging from my investigation, your esteemed father might have been sealed under the Great Snowy Mountain.”

“Great Snowy Mountain!” Salamay was excited. “Right, it must be like that! According to the memories of some people who escaped back in the past, once father was subdued, there was a great snowfall. Everything quickly became covered in ice and snow. That might be how the Great Snowy Mountain formed.” She walked over and was clearly really excited. “Then how is my father right now? Did he pa.s.s on any messages?”

Zu An chuckled in embarra.s.sment. “I still need more time for further investigation.”

Salamay took a deep breath. “Shadow Monster King, that piece of trash. It seems like they didn’t have time to save father. Otherwise, with my father’s strength, there's no way you wouldn’t be able to get any news of him.”

Zu An thought, The Shadow Monster King really is being wrongly blamed a bit here. He already successfully saved the Lord of Slaughter, but he ended up encountering that indescribable being.

Salamay suddenly took a deep breath and said, “Find a way to send me to that world. I want to personally rescue my father and bring him back!”
