《Eternal Sacred King》Chapter 155: Chief Steward Gu
Advertisement
A group of maidservants surrounded two women as they walked over.
At the very front, the woman’s skin was fair as snow. She had an exquisite appearance and her steps exuded a mature charm.
The woman had a smile on her face, and her every move exuded an air of gracefulness. Clearly, her status in the Sky Treasure Auction House was not low.
Beside her, there was a young girl in a long pink dress. Even though her face was covered with a veil, her beautiful eyes sparkled and made one’s heart flutter!
Both women had their own merits and were rare beauties. They walked side by side like sisters. As soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone’s attention, burning like fire.
Gulps could be heard in the surroundings in a spectacular manner.
“To think that Chief Steward Gu would actually grace our Chiyu City’s Sky Treasure Auction House!”
“I’m willing to give up ten years of my life just to have some sort of relationship with Chief Steward Gu!”
“Someone like you will never be entertained by the likes of Chief Steward Gu. I heard that there was a Golden Core who had nefarious thoughts and was killed that very night with his head hung on display in the city for an entire month!”
After cultivating The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, Su Zimo’s hearing far exceeded others.
Even though the discussions were hushed, he could still hear them.
“So, it’s her!”
Su Zimo muttered to himself.
When he arrived in Chiyu City yesterday, Su Zimo heard quite a number of people talking about this woman.
Her name was Gu Xi and she was the chief steward of the Sky Treasure Auction House. It was said that even the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very respectful to her.
She was a large part of the reason why Sky Treasure Auction House was so famous.

No one knew the cultivation of that woman. However, none of those who harbored evil intentions towards her through the years had lived to tell the tale!
Mysterious, elegant and beautiful. The combination of those words turned Gu Xi into the most famous woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty; someone who could only be seen from afar and not touched.
Since the Sky Treasure Auction House in Chiyu City was not the main branch, Su Zimo had not expected that he would come across the great Chief Steward Gu here.
“Who is the pink dressed girl beside Chief Steward Gu? She’s very unfamiliar.”
“Cut the crap. How can you recognize her through the veil?”
“Even with the veil, I feel like I’m going out of my mind. If I could see her face even once, I would die without regrets.”
In the crowd, many people shifted their attention to the girl in pink.
Su Zimo had tried to use his Spirit Peering Art to check out the two women. Gu Xi aside, he couldn’t even detect the cultivation of the girl in pink.
It was as if the girl was shrouded by a layer of fog that made it impossible to see her clearly.
Right then, Gu Xi’s gaze landed on Su Zimo. Pausing for a moment, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Chief steward! This punk tried to forge a Sky Treasure Gold Badge but was discovered by us!” One of the guards hurried forward and bowed down respectfully, holding up Su Zimo’s Sky Treasure Gold Badge with both hands.
Gu Xi smiled and took over the Sky Treasure Gold Badge casually. She then looked at Su Zimo with a faint smile. “You look decent but you’ve got quite the guts. There’s nothing more to say about this. According to the rules, kill this person…”
“Oh?”
Before Gu Xi could complete her sentence, her expression changed slightly. She raised her brow and brought the Sky Treasure Gold Badge closer to have a better look.

After a moment, Gu Xi raised her head and surveyed Su Zimo with scrutiny. She had a strange expression.
“Auntie Gu, what’s wrong?”
The girl in pink noticed the weird atmosphere and asked softly.
Her voice was gentle to the bones and really alluring.
Gu Xi glanced sideways and remained silent. However, a voice rang out in the girl in pink’s mind, “This badge should be real, but I don’t know why it’s with this person. Take a look.”
Only Nascent Souls could make use of techniques such as voice transmission.
The girl in pink took over the badge and was slightly taken aback when she saw the ‘Xue’ character at the bottom right.
In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have thought of something. The corners of her lips curled under the veil and her eyes sparkled.
She whispered into Gu Xi’s ears, “This badge is authentic. I know who this person is. Auntie Gu, call him over. I have something to discuss with him.””Access ReadReadNovelFull.live if you like watching manga,comics.
Gu Xi acknowledged and handed the Sky Treasure Gold Badge back, saying, “The badge is authentic.”
“Ah?”
“It’s real?”
The two guards were stumped on the spot.
This was clearly the badge of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s third princess! If it was authentic, what was this person’s relationship with the third princess?”
“Stop making wild guesses and don’t spout nonsense!”
As though she could read their minds, Gu Xi remarked coldly.
The two guards were rattled and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he put away the Sky Treasure Gold Badge, he felt a burning gaze on him.
Gu Xi and that girl in pink were both watching him.
Even though the girl in pink was wearing a veil, Su Zimo could almost see a smile on her face.
“Follow me.”
Suddenly, an unquestionable voice rang in Su Zimo’s mind – it was Gu Xi’s!
Together with the girl in pink, Gu Xi walked towards a side door of the inner house. Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before following them.
The side door to the inner house was only accessible to the employees. Outsiders could only enter through the main door after displaying their Sky Treasure Badge.
Now that Su Zimo was following Gu Xi and the girl in pink through the side door, it caused a commotion outside!
“Who is that green robed scholar?”
“What rights does he have?”
Many people were green with envy.
Someone coughed gently and tried striding towards the side door as though nothing was wrong. However, he was stopped by the guard.
He tried to talk his way out of it but to no avail and could only leave in a huff.
Inside the inner house, things were much quieter and there was evidently less people.
Gu Xi and the girl in pink walked at the front while Su Zimo followed them. Calm and composed, he did not say anything and merely surveyed the surroundings.
The layout of the inner house was like a large funnel and guests were separated into three general regions based on their colors.
The seats at the bottom were for the bronze badge owners. It was a cramped place without much room for activity.
Above the bronzes were the silver seats and they were slightly more spacious.
Another few levels up and it was at the gold area. Here, the rooms were divided and partitioned. Beautiful gems decorated the rooms and even though no one from the outside could look in, those within could see everything perfectly clear.
Above the gold area was another circle of individual rooms. From the outside, they looked even more spacious and magnificent. Su Zimo wondered who they were made for.
On both sides of the entrances of the rooms at the top, beautiful and gorgeous young women stood waiting.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

Doctor Who: An Alternate Sequel Series
An alternate sequel to the original Doctor Who series (1963-1989) This is set in an alternate universe to the 21st century Doctor Who and features an alternate 9-13th Doctors. These Doctors will be based on different actors (or rather characters the actors are known for playing,) whose images will be used to represent them. The 9th Doctor will be based on Irish actor Dylan Moran, the 10th Doctor will be based on Tim Curry, whilst the 11th Doctor will be based on Robert Carlyle. The 12th Doctor will be based on Julian Barratt, whilst the 13th Doctor will be based on Julian Richings. I decided to make my Doctor Who fanfic series an alternate sequel as I wanted to match the classic era in tone and style more. The 21st century DW is still canon however. It is simply an alternate universe. Some stories will feature alternate versions of 21st Centruy Who characters. The Doctor from the 21st Century Who universe will also crossover into my universe at some point too. This way I can keep what I like from both the original and revival, whilst creating my own Doctors. Each story will feature a different Doctor, and they will all be at random points in their lives, though as time goes on I do intend to build up my own continuity and history.
