Against Heaven's Will

The venue momentarily exploded with immediate chatter.

Miss Wu had a husband? Why didn’t they know about it beforehand?

The Queen of Forest Elves Race? That definitely sounded powerful.

And who was that Liu Xuefeng to claim them both? No one ever heard of him.

As guests discussed the sudden news, even if they only whispered, the connected murmur adding together was still enough to cause disruption. Especially after they saw President Wu’s face who was almost similarly confused with visual anger brewing under the cold expression.

Even President Wu didn’t know about it? Was it a secret?

Click, click, click.

The sound of high heels coming from the entrance was enough to silence everyone. Who wasn’t interested in the two looks and presence?

With the entrance stationed in the middle of the venue, splitting the dancing floor and the tables in half, no one could see them until they actually stepped inside.

"Whoa..."

There wasn’t a different reaction other than open mouths and eyes widened, watching the entrance of two angels. Their clear and dominant walk, claiming all the attention with just their moves alone. Their elegant hand gestures, hips swaying, and gaze that traveled across the room while looking into their souls.

The two walked confidently, two pairs of legs moving in sync as their one of the kind dresses waved on the invisible blow of wind.

They reached the waiter who looked dumbfounded by their beauty but they didn’t mind, not bothered by any pressure. Wu reached out for the toasting glass, her delicate arms decorated by long crimson gloves, matching perfectly with her gown.

Only one of her graceful legs was exposed by a deep cut on the right side of her gown while she covered the rest of her body with a tight crimson pattern, all the way to her neck. Her gloves acted like sleeves with just a tiny slip of her arm uncovered.

What couldn’t be seen, worked like a charm on the imagination, especially with the curved lines from the bottom to the top. As Wu gazed at everyone, her messy ponytail danced with her while strands of hair that didn’t make it gently curled on her face, styling the shape of her face.

Nuwa followed the same style, donning a long black dress reaching all the way to the floor with a bold cut in the middle. Her dress split into two sides with her shiny black heels illuminated like two stars. Compared to Wu, her arms and shoulders were bare, with golden hair falling freely on one side, revealing only one pointy ear that confirmed her identity.

With the way she presented herself, no one could claim she wasn’t a natural-born Queen, having the vibe of a ruler.

A certain group of three youngsters stared at their mature beauty but Nuwa and Wu didn’t pay them any attention, leaving them with their own messy thoughts.

"Greetings, my guests!" Wu called out as she smiled gently, raising her toast glass. "It’s our first time meeting but I’m sure it won’t be the last. I’m pleased so many of you came to my Celebration Party even though the notice came just today. Thankfully, everyone was able to arrive on time."

Wu paused and put on an apologetic smile, turning to the Elders.

"The delay from our side was caused by a simple reason. As you already know, we Ascended from the Earth Realm today and we didn’t waste time, beginning our cultivation using Trade Union’s help. To catch up with all the geniuses produced by all of you respected Seniors, we cannot waste any minute, focusing all of our free time on improving our Cultivation. Thanks to my dear Trade Union, we were able to get our hands on enough Upgrade Fragments to refine all nine Elemental Qi as well as to produce my Nine Elemental Core as soon as possible."

Swoosh!

To prove her words, Qi of nine Elements gushed from her palm, spinning above it in a colorful circle. Although Nuwa found it boring, Qi Refining was extremely easy for her. She copied Wu and displayed her own Elements.

"Both have all Elements in the Second Refinement!" Someone couldn’t help but comment on what everyone could see clearly. They all knew that Qi Refining wasn’t that easy for everyone. To achieve the same feet as Nuwa and Wu, one needed an extremely stable control over their Qi. It could only mean one thing.

Given enough time, both of them could compete with all other geniuses!

President Wu put on a fake smile of celebration, but only he knew how many plans did Nuwa and Wu spoiled. They used the public against him and he couldn’t even speak up to counter her speech. Wouldn’t that show they had a disagreement?

The two ladies closed their palms at the same time and Wu continued her speech.

"We are living examples of why you should work with the Trade Union in the future. How many experts can we push out in the world if we work together?"

The eyes of all top clans’ leaders brightened. Wu brought up the very thing that attracted all top clans the most.

Resources.

With Trade Union monopolizing a big chunk of Heaven Realm resources, it was only natural to have a good relationship with them.

Wu didn’t go into detail and instead changed the subject.

"There is also another reason we invited all of you here. You heard it already from the announcer, but I will share some more information. I was a general manager in the Earth Realm, overseeing all the operations of the Trade Union there. I have more than enough knowledge and power to continue my job, allowing Trade Union to flourish in the Heaven Realm as well. I will be taking the role of a General Manager starting from tomorrow, so please take care of me."

She raised her glass before everyone began to discuss this decision and declared apologetically, "If I won’t be able to greet you all personally, please accept this toast as my greeting."

Wu gulped the whole glass and placed it back on the waiter’s tray. Everyone followed suit, before gazing at Nuwa who still had her glass full.

"Now that my dear sister finished her speech, let me start with mine," Nuwa suddenly voiced out, her voice vibrant and gaze domineering. "I don’t know what reason you came here for and I will not ask. If you came to meet us and become friends, sure, we can do that. If you came to talk business and improve our partnership, sure, we can do that too. But if you came here with the intention of partnering your young master with our Wu, then I will be the first to kick you out."

Nuwa swiped the whole venue with her glare and landed on Blissful Knight, intensifying it. He couldn’t do anything but turn his eyes away, avoiding contact with her. Just one word from her could end his carrier.

Wu joined Nuwa and commented, "I will not tolerate any marriage proposals. Trade Union will also not work with anyone who proposes anything improper. I have a husband. If you wonder who is the man that could steal both of our hearts, you should pay close attention to the Dragon Steps in the near future. Liu Xuefeng and our names will definitely get to the very top!"

Clap, clap!

"Music, food! Let’s get this party started!"
