Chen Xiaobei said flatly, "Don't worry. I won't use him as my lab rat. I have the both of you!"
"F*ck off! Our bodies are perfectly fine! We don't need help from a fraud like you! We will not let you touch our noble bodies!"
Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi were spurned.
"Oh, the both of you are sick, alright. Very sick indeed." Chen Xiaobei said, "I won't have to touch you to tell you what your ailments are!"
"How is that even possible? Aren't Chinese doctors all about the four methods of diagnosis: look, listen, ask, and feel? There's no way you could diagnose without doing that!" Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi continued to call Chen Xiaobei into question.
As a matter of fact, it wasn't just the two of them. There were a few in the room who have their suspicions about Chen Xiaobei.
Look, listen, ask, and feel!
Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi would definitely not cooperate to 'listen' and 'ask'. What more 'feel'? How was Chen Xiaobei supposed to get a proper diagnosis?
If his claims were so ridiculously unsupported, how was that not a sham?
Chen Xiaobei turned to look at Nikkawa Susumu and smirked. "We'll start with you. You are an insomniac. You to toss and turn all night and can never get a good night's sleep. Your body is heaty and you're constantly irritated. The lack of sleep is causing you to feel like you don't want to do anything, right?"
"You… How do you know that?"
Nikkawa Susumu's jaw fell.
Everyone else was just as shocked. They knew by Nikkawa Susumu's expression that Chen Xiaobei had given an accurate diagnosis.
"Heh, I thought you know everything? I only need to look at you to be able to tell you that! Now, do you believe in my medical skills?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"No! I don't! How would I know that you didn't cheat?" Nikkawa Susumu would not give up. "Unless you can tell what the causes of these symptoms are, I won't believe you!"
Chen Xiaobei's lips spread into a cunning grin. "Are you sure you want to say it?"
ourse. If you don't then we'll know you cheated! Don't think you can mess with us!"
Nikkawa Susumu would not back down. He was eager to prove that Chen Xiaobei is a fraud and wanted him out of his sight!
"Alright, if you really want to know then I'll tell you!" Chen Xiaobei chuckled. "If I used Chinese medical terms you won't understand so I'll just use Western medical terms. The underlying cause of all your symptoms is due to pituitary deficiency. This deficiency of hormones causes gonadotropin secretion disorders, which causes functional disorders to that area…"
"Oh, stop beating around the bush! What is the sickness?" Nikkawa Susumu asked.
"Look, when I didn't give you a medical explanation, you called me a fraud. After I explained it to you, you said that I'm beating around the bush!" Chen Xiaobei then said, "Right, then I'll just simplify it for you. The sickness you have right now is a severe kidney malfunction and erectile dysfunction. In a few years' time, you will become a true eunuch!"
Everyone turned to look at Nikkawa Susumu to see if what Chen Xiaobei had just said was true.
"I…"
Nikkawa Susumu's face turned scarlet with shame. He glared at Chen Xiaobei, wishing that it would burn him to death.
Chen Xiaobei pretended not to notice and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you started watching porn as a minor. After that, you would start masturbating feverishly."
At this, Nikkawa Susumu face turned a charcoal black.
Everyone could tell that Chen Xiaobei was right just by looking at Nikkawa Susumu's face.
Chen Xiaobei did not stop there. "There is a proverb that says 'It's actually okay to masturbate!' However, overdoing it will definitely cause harm to your body! You are an addict! This has caused your manhood to be severely exhausted, kidney malfunction!"
"You… You are bullshitting… You're a scaremonger…"
Nikkawa Susumu was both humiliated and angry at the same time.
Chen Xiaobei had declared that he was an addict to masturbating in front of so many big shots… He was mortified and wished he could dig a hole in the ground!
"I'm bullshitting? It seems to me that you are not humiliated enough!" Chen Xiaobei smirked and continued, "It has gone so bad that even if the world's most beautiful woman were to strip naked in front of you, you would feel nothing! You can only get off on porn!"
"That…"
Nikkawa Susumu could not believe it. How could Chen Xiaobei have deduced such private information so accurately?
Deep down, Nikkawa Susumu knew that Chen Xiaobei was, through and through, a real miracle doctor!
But he refused to admit it.
"You're still not satisfied eh?" Chen Xiaobei continued to dish out information. "Also, you're nearly thirty but you're still a virgin!"
Virgin?!
Nikkawa Susumu looked like he had just been struck by lightning.
He quickly shot a look of terror at Chen Xiaobei, begging him to stop.
The thirty-year-old prince was still a virgin!
If words got out, not only will Nikkawa Susumu be humiliated, even the Japanese Imperial family would be put to shame.
"You still won't admit it?" Chen Xiaobei bulldozed on. "Men's stamina is limited. If you use it up during your youth, then you won't be able to perform when you're older! If the symptoms worsen, you must be prepared to become a eunuch and left with no offsprings!"
"I…" Nikkawa Susumu was really shaken up this time and he quickly professed, "Miracle Dr. Chen! I acknowledge that you are a miracle doctor! I submit to you! Please save me! I can't pass on my title and my wealth if I don't have an heir…"
Everyone in the room was flabbergasted.
Even Nikkawa Uchu's eyes widened in incredulity, meticulously re-examining Chen Xiaobei.
Was this a Chinese miracle doctor?
"Go and cool down first. I still haven't diagnosed someone else."
Chen Xiaobei laughed sinisterly and looked right at Nikkawa Kyohachi.
"Huuh…"
Nikkawa Kyohachi inhaled sharply. "I'm convinced now, Miracle Dr. Chen. I know how good you are. Please don't diagnose me! I beg you…"
"It's just impotence! What is there to be ashamed of?" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, "You must make sure you heal from this otherwise, the chances are that your future children belong to your next-door neighbor!"
Impotent?!
"Blarghh…"
The blood that spurted out from Nikkawa Kyohachi's mouth nearly hit the ceiling.
He had never told anyone this secret. But because he had provoked Chen Xiaobei, it was spilled.
An impotent man was equivalent to a eunuch. Everyone knew that.
Impotence was inherent, the penis growth was abnormal so it was no different from a eunuch.
If this secret was exposed, then no girl would be willing to marry him!
This would completely destroy him!
Nikkawa Kyohachi was contrite. He should never ever have provoked Chen Xiaobei.
Whoever agitated this malignant star would either suffer or die!
"Miracle Dr. Chen!" Nikkawa Uchu finally spoke, his short words confirming Chen Xiaobei's identity as a miracle doctor and confirming the efficiency of Chinese medicinal science!
This also meant that Chen Xiaobei had passed the test and would be allowed to cure Nikkawa Okazaka.
"Heh, now you know I'm a miracle doctor." Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, "I've already proven who I am. Until we meet again!"
Chen Xiaobei clicked his heels and turned to leave.
"Miracle Dr. Chen! Please don't leave… Please cure my sickness… I don't want to become a eunuch…"
"Miracle Dr. Chen…Is there a way to cure impotence? I beg you… Save my life…"
Nikkawa Kyohachi and Nikkawa Susumu ran up to Chen Xiaobei and hugged his legs, unwilling to let go.
"Get your filthy hands away from me! Who was the one who said that only a fool would employ me to heal the sick?"
Chen Xiaobei snapped.
He swung his leg and shook off the two pug princes.
"We are fools… We are blind as moles… Please don't go… Only you can help us…" Nikkawa Kyohachi and Nikkawa Susumu knelt on the ground.
"Miracle Dr. Chen!" again, NIkkawa Uchu spoke. "You want money. There's no need to humiliate the Imperial family, right?"
"They are the one that humiliated me first!" Chen Xiaobei said coldly, "They called me a fraud, why should I give them face?"
"Yes, that was their mistake. They know that now." Nikkawa Uchu said. "We'll do as you said. Double the consultation fee. I will ask my people to send 2,000 Spiritual Stones. I hope you stay!"
Everyone was bowled over.
Nikkawa Uchu yielded to Chen Xiaobei!Luna: wow amazing proverb
Nikkawa Uchu was one of the most powerful emperors in the history of Japan. He was influential and dominant—he had never submitted to anyone!
But today, for the sake of making Chen Xiaobei stay, he conceded!
It was inconceivable!
To him, 1,000 Spiritual Stones to the Japanese Imperial family was not a small sum!
In Paradise Island, Nikkawa Okazaka had paid a whopping 8,000 Spiritual Stones to the devious Chen Xiaobei for a ten-thousand-years-old Ambergris. This stones had been taken from the Bank of Japan and the Divine Sovereign Sect's treasury, they had nearly emptied out their resources.
Now they had to pay another 2,000 Spiritual Stones, there may not be enough left in the Bank of Japan so he might need to borrow some from the Divine Sovereign Sect.
Nikkawa Uchu was truly sincere when he conceded.
But instead of appreciating the earnest offer, Chen Xiaobei forced him further into a corner.
"3,000 Spiritual Stones. Not a single stone lesser!" Chen Xiaobei said in a composed, authoritative tone.
"What? 3,000 Spiritual Stones?"
No one could believe what they had just heard.
It was already a miracle that the emperor would even concede.
Who would have thought that Chen Xiaobei would push him to go further?!
He was clearly trying to challenge Nikkawa Uchu's authority!
Nikkawa Uchu's poker face finally broke and rearranged itself into a nostril flaring, red hot glower.
"Miracle Dr. Chen! Raising the price at someone's misfortune is not the act of a gentleman!"
"I'm not raising the price! It's called selling at the marked price!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, "Healing your crown prince costs 2,000 Spiritual Stones. But don't forget that I gave consultation services to two other patients. I'm only charging 500 Spiritual Stones for each of them. That's pretty reasonable, don't you think?"
"That…"
Nikkawa Uchu was suddenly lost for words. He turned his murderous glare toward Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi.
It was all their fault. They just had to go and taunt Chen Xiaobei.
Now the 1,000 Spiritual Stones had increased to 3,000! Even if he were to borrow from the Divine Sovereign Sect, he might not have enough to pay!
Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi felt like they being watched a wild beast, ready to pounce at any seconds. Their hearts thumped violently inside their chest and their breathing quickened.
"Miracle Dr, Chen, I only need you to cure my son. I don't care about these two!" Nikkawa Uchu said heartlessly.
"What? You are the majestic emperor of Japan but you can't even hand over such a small amount of stones?" Chen Xiaobei said sarcastically.
"I…"
The corners of Nikkawa Uchu's lips twitched, his face a deep scarlet.
"Oh? Was I right? You really can't come up with 3,000 Spiritual Stones?"
Chen Xiaobei looked at emperor disdainfully. He had wanted to drop by the treasury and do a sweep but apparently there were no Spiritual Stones left. How disappointing.
Since that was the case, then he might as bleed them dry now.
Chen Xiaobei offered, "Alright, so you pay the 2,000 Spiritual Stones for the crown prince. And if the both of them wants to be cured, they will have to pay me 500 Spiritual Stones each. They must have some Spiritual Stones in their private stash?"
"I don't care about them! They are on their own!" Nikkawa Uchu said, "The Spiritual Stones from my part will arrive within an hour!"
"I'm willing to pay from my own pocket…"
"Me to… We'll call our men to send them over… It will come…"
Both Nikkawa Susumu and Nikkawa Kyohachi wasted no time. For the sake of their future happiness and sexual wellbeing, they could not afford to be stingy!
"Alright. It's settled then. I will go examine the patient first. When the Spiritual Stones arrive, I will cure the both of you!" Chen Xiaobei said before entering the wards and checked up on Nikkawa Okazaka.
Of course, he did not really do it!
Let us not forget that Chen Xiaobei was a professional actor.
He put on a show in the ward, expertly examining the patient, deceiving his audience.
Chen Xiaobei would never do justice to such despicable and vile enemies!
He would take their Spiritual Stones, but he would not do the job they paid him to do. He wanted to get under their skin!
After almost an hour, all the Spiritual Stones had arrived. Chen Xiaobei administered two inert prescriptions to Nikkawa Kyohachi and Nikkawa Susumu.
After that, he performed acupuncture on Nikkawa Okazaka.
"Oh my… Miracle Dr. Chen! You truly are marvelous! I feel much better down there! Thank you so much…" Nikkawa Okazaka, who had recovered a little, thanked Chen Xiaobei.
What he did not know was that Chen Xiaobei had merely enlarged his blood vessel, which allowed the clotted blood to flow. In reality, it did not have any remedial effect.
Also, Chen Xiaobei would never come back.
"Mmm… Your injuries are still fresh so we'll just stop here today. Tomorrow at this time, we'll continue your treatment!" Chen Xiaobei bluffed.
When he was done, he took off in his car with the 3,000 Spiritual stones.
Immediately after, Nikkawa Okasaka sent Amasa Hiko and Amasa Yuki away.
The few people left in the ward had a sudden change of mind.
"Your royal highness, that idiot is just too sly! He charged us 3,000 Spiritual Stones! We can't just let him go!" Nikkawa Kyohachi said through clenched teeth.
"Yes! Let me call my men to follow him and take the stones back!"
Nikkawa Susumu rolled up his sleeves. He wanted his Spiritual Stones back and Chen Xiaobei dead.
"Shut your mouth, the both of you! You got the medication you need! I'm the one who's stuck on this bed!" Nikkawa Okazaka spat. "Wait until my wedding is done, then we'll catch that bugger and destroy him! We'll make sure he suffers for belittling our country!"
Nikkawa Uchu nodded and said, "Very good. It looks like you're all grown up!"
Cold sweat beaded Yamagushi Takka's forehead.
This was the Nikkawa Family! Two-faced, double-crossing murderers! They would be laughing with you one second and stabbing you in the back the next second!
What a shame!
They thought that they had fooled Chen Xiaobei. Little did they know that Chen Xiaobei had already siphoned all 3,00 of the Spiritual Qi into the Green Jade Gourd, abandoned the car by the road and disappeared into the remote mountains on the Somersault Cloud!
What's more, Chen Xiaobei would not be coming back!
The three idiots had paid him the 3,000 Spiritual Stones but they could forget about getting treated.
The truth was, Chen Xiaobei had already pegged them for a bunch of numbskulls!
When he had returned to the mountains where Six Ear Macaque and the others had hidden only did Chen Xiaobei finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the Green Jade Gourd, Chen Xioabie now had 8,050 Spiritual Stones in his hands.
They would have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to head toward Shallow Grass Temple to pick up the gift for Queen Mother.
Everything had gone smoothly so far but Chen Xiaobei was well-prepared for any deviation tomorrow. He was not afraid if a war were to break out tomorrow—he had something in store that would give him the upper hand.
But of course, it would be best if nothing bad happens.
The resources in his hands were limited. It would better to make full use of it to save Demonic Fox.
If he had to waste it before that, the rest of their plans would have to be delayed and might even cause unforeseen dangers.
It was good to hope for the best but they would have to see what really happens tomorrow!
...
The night was peaceful, nothing much happened.
The next afternoon, Chen Xiaobei donned on the Chen Zhufeng mask and went on his own to Shallow Grass Temple.
He knocked on the temple door but the person who answered the door this time was not Uzuishi Yasai but Uzuishi Akaihi himself.
"Young man, you are very punctual!"
Uzuishi Akaihi invited Chen Xiaobei in.
"Why? Are you not prepared?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled.
"Heh! We'll see!" Uzuishi Akaihi then said in a solemn tone, "I have stuck to my principles for a few decades now. There were quite a few people who had requested to come and request my services but I am a man if my word. If I promise someone that I will cook for them, I will do so accordingly!"
"That's great!" Chen Xiaobei nodded and then thoughtlessly asked, "Where is Ms. Yasai?"
"Er…" Uzuishi Akaihi was startled for a moment, and then he answered a little uncannily, "She left earlier because she has some things to do."
"That couldn't have been a coincidence!" Chen Xiaobei thought to himself.
Could it be that Uzuishi Yasai was connected to the Tenshou's branch?
It was really difficult to imagine that such a gentle, innocent girl would have anything to do with a conspiracy. Chen Xiaobei used his Netherspirit Battlescouter to scan Uzuishi Akaihi and saw that he was just an old man with no cultivation.
Perhaps he was just being paranoid.
Chen Xiaobei dismissed the thought—he really did not want to crack his brain over this. After all, he would find out today.
"It's inside. Go ahead and take a look."
Uzuishi Akaihi stood at the door of the dining hall, not intending to enter.
"Alright." Chen Xiaobei walked over, took a deep breath and placed his hands on the door. But he did not push them open.
Could his enemies be watching and waiting behind the door?
Maybe they would pounce at him when he opened the door!
"Go ahead and open the door!" Uzuishi Akaihi pressed, "Don't worry. I always deliver on my promise! I'm not easily affected by any other external pressure!"
This sentence seemed to imply something.
But Chen Xiaobei sensed that the old man was telling the truth.
How could someone who had an attachment to food for more a few decades use it to cheat others?
Creak…
Chen Xiaobei pushed open the wooden door.
While he was used to a good spectacle, the scene before him had him floored! There was not a single trace of any hostile parties but there was a magnificent, breathtaking plate of sashimi!
Five tables were line up to hold up a giant dish, in it was a layer of ice, and on it were more than a dozen variety of sashimi arranged into an image of a hundred birds flocking toward a phoenix!
Under Uzuishi Akaihi's deft knife technique, the red flesh of the tuna, the bright orange of the salmon, had become sliced feathers!
The 'feathers' were layered to form a dazzling Phoenix!
Not only were his knife skills impressive, Uzuishi Akaihi's plating was also very meticulous.
The Phoenix had a 3D look, giving the impression that at any second, it would flap its wings and take off.
Gold caviar was used to make the Phoenix's eyes and the addition of the ink-colored fish skin under it made it very realistic.
It was a hundred times more lifelike than the Bluefin Prosperity Crane the royal chef had prepared!
While the diversity of birds that surrounded the Phoenix were just accessories, Uzuishi Akaihi did not cut corners but was conscientious: white-fleshed red snapper for the cranes; translucent dolphin for the egret; and pink herring for the sparrow…
There were all kinds of birds of a rainbow of colors and bearing! If one were to count them one-by-one, there would a round total of one hundred birds!
This plate of sashimi was world-class, the art of all artworks!
The significance of this dish could not be more fitting to be gifted to Queen Mother!
"So, what do you think? Are you satisfied with it?" Uzuishi Akaihi asked.
"I am! I am very satisfied indeed!"
There was nothing for Chen Xiaobei to nitpick about. It was flawless and Chen Xiaobei was as pleased as punch!
He was more than certain now that Queen Mother would hold it in admiration and would reward him with a 9000 year-old-Saturn Peach!
"That's good. Do you need me to help you carry it?" Uzuishi Akaihi asked.
"It's alright!" Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and the five-table-large plate was stored into the Infinite Space Ring.
Inside the ring, every item had its own separate space. So the sashimi would not be deformed in any way.
"Is… Is this the legendary Infinite Space Ring?" Uzuishi Akaihi's jaw fell opened.
"Heh, even though you are in Jianghu, you know about the Infinite Space Ring!" Chen Xiaobei took out three First Love Peach and placed them on the table. "After today, we may never see each other again. Here's three peaches for you. Till we meet again!"
He turned around and left the temple.
Not only would they not see each other again, Chen Xiaobei had a mask on and was not afraid that Uzuishi Akaihi would know about the secret of the Infinite Space Ring.
Chen Xiaobei would only need to remove the mask and Uzuishi Akaihi would never be able to recognize him.
"Take care of yourself, young man!" Uzuishi Akaihi sighed looking at the peaches. He had no appetite for them. Instead, a complicated look clouded his aging eyes.
Outside the temple.
Chen Xiaobei did not summon the Somersault Cloud but chose to ramble down the mountain towards the spot where he was last besieged.
How did his enemy find out about his mask?
Perhaps he would get the answer to that today!
...
At the foot of the hill, at exactly the same spot, Chen Xiaobei was again, surrounded by the same enemies!
"Chen Xiaobei! You won't be able to get away this time!"
Four Enigmatic Ninjas, ten pinnacle ninjas and hundreds of normal ninjas had been waiting for Chen XIaobei a long time now!Luna: Goddamnit I want that sashimi...
"It appears that your leader is a mutant with X-ray Vision!" Chen Xiaobei removed the mask on his face.
Since his cover had already been blown, there was no need to put on an act anymore.
Whatever Six Ear Macaque and he had speculated was happening.
Not only did the mysterious leader of the Tenshou division see through the Nikkawa Daichi mask, she was also able to see through the Chen Zhufeng mask.
And her name was about to be revealed!
"I can't tell you much about our boss and you don't have to know so much because your fate has already been decided!"
Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja took a step forward, looking like was about to spring forward.
The other three Enigmatic Ninjas were hot to the trot, ready to step in if anything bad happened!
"Heh, my intelligence is not as low as yours. Why would I need you to tell me such an obvious answer?"
Chen Xiaobei had readied himself for this scenario and was calm as he searched his surroundings.
"Yasai San! Go ahead and show yourself! I know you are here!"
He had revealed the answer, and while Chen Xiaobei did not want to believe it, it was the truth.
His deduction was based on four premises:
Firstly, the only people who had seen Nikkawa Dachi's mask and would withhold that information from the Imperial family were Uzuishi Akaihi and Uzuishi Yasai. Chen Xiaobei and Six Ear Macaque had already concluded that in their discussion.
Secondly, only this pair of grandfather-granddaughter would know the exact time Chen Xiaobei would come to Shallow Grass Hill.
Thirdly, like the last when Chen Zhufeng's mask was found out, the whole army of Tenshou showed up at the foot of the hill, away from the temple! It was painfully obvious that their leader lived in Shallow Grass Temple!
Finally, Uzuishi Akaihi had no cultivation—his only obsession was food; thus, eliminating the possibility of him being the Tenshou's leader!
And that could only mean that the person who saw through Chen Xiaobei's masks, and was covertly leading the Tenshou division was none other than Uzuishi Yasai!
This was inconceivable but it was also irrefutable!
"Who knew you are actually pretty smart," Uzuishi Yasai jumped down from a tree a distance away and sauntered in Chen Xiaobei's direction, saying, "Unfortunately, you are not vigilant enough! You came to the conclusion that I was the covert leader yet you still came."
She was a barefaced, angelic beauty with a devilish body—her facial features were refined and her skin delicate and silken to the touch; the elegant pastel kimono draped along the luscious curves of her body, showing off every tantalizing bump and groove.
The most beguiling thing about her was the small, dainty feet, naked without any covering, treading on the greenery under her. Delicate.
If it were not for the substantial evidence, no one would have connected her to Tenshou.
"Some things require definite confirmation for a peace of mind. That is why I had to come," Chen Xiaobei answered flatly.
If the identity of the person who saw through his masks was still in the dark, Chen Xiaobei's upcoming plans would be greatly restricted. Uncovering the person's identity would allow him to continue using the masks with ease.
"What's the difference?" Uzuishi Yasai smirked. "Do you think you would still be able to get away this time?"
"I didn't say that I will get away." Chen Xiaobei then turned the question over to her, "But Yasai-san, do you really think that you could catch me?"
"Heh, let me introduce myself again. My name is Phantom Rain! Once I've captured you, you will call me Master Phantom Rain!" Uzuishi Yasai flashed a bewitching smile but with an overtone of malice!
"Phantom Rain? Why would such a cute girl be called such a name? Was it the S.H.I.E.L.D from the U.S that christened you? Or was it the Tenshou? Oh, how distasteful!"
Chen Xiaobei's question appeared casual but he was actually just testing her.
"You don't have to try to test me. Very soon, you will become Tenshou's prisoner! You are unworthy to know about my past!" Phantom Rain narrowed her eyes, teasing him. "Enough with all this talk! Where is the man who used Earth Escape Skill to save you? Summon him!"
"Heh, the one that my friend used is no ordinary Earth Escape Skill! If he had come, you will have wasted your effort!" Chen Xiaobei said coolly.
"Oh, is that so?" Phantom Rain laughed. "I know very well that your power is unparalleled and that you possess a many mysterious Spiritual Items! But I'm no fool! I've already sent my people to bring Mr. Jiang Ziya to our party! If you flee, I will hack him into pieces!"
"Heh, you really are quite smart! For three days, you held back your troops and used the time to investigate my background!" Chen Xiaobei said with an air of nonchalance, "Sadly, I am way ahead of you! That friend of mine had already gone to rescue Jiang Ziya! If all goes well today, your men will come back empty handed.
"What?!"
Phantom Rain mouth curved in an "O".
She thought that she had found the chink in Chen Xiaobei's armor, using Jiang Ziya as hostage. She had not expected him to beat her to it, maiming her move!
"If that's the case. This shall be where we engage in battle! I will not let you go no matter what!"
Phantom Rain had always thought herself a bright lass but Chen Xiaobei had foiled her plans by being one step ahead. It was really upsetting for her.
"Green Dragon! Attack!" Phantom Rain barked, "Seize Chen Xiaobei! If you fail again this time, you will all be severely punished!"
"Yes!" Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja was prepared since the beginning. He wanted to be the one to capture Chen Xiaobei this time and he would not give him any chance to escape this time.
Whoosh…
As Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja stepped out, the Earth-type True Kang around him grew!
The grass beneath their feet and the tree around them trembled like devout disciples worshipping Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja.
Earth Element, like rivers drawn to the sea, amassed right next to Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja, strengthening his True Kang, until it became a Green Dragon!
It was 10m tall. The moment it appeared, it was looking down on everyone filled with dominance. Like a real dragon, it seemed like it was asking everyone to bow down in front of it.
"Argh! That was so strong! This is the true power of Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja. My heart might not be able to take any more of that…"
Except for the four Enigmatic Ninjas, nearly everyone felt the powerful presence of the Green Dragon. They could feel their hearts being pressed up against their chest, and they struggled for air.
Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja was the strongest among them with 90,000 combat power.
No ordinary man would be able to survive a fight against him.
Chen Xiaobei remained unfazed, and said in a frosty tone, "If I want to leave, you won't be able to stop me! But right now, I really feel like killing people!"
"You fool!"
Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja was the most powerful of all four Enigmatic Ninjas. He had the ultimate strength and ultimate confidence. From his point of view, it was idiotic for Chen Xiaobei not to run for his life!
"Earth Celestial Event! Endless Leaves!"
Followed by a loud roar, the Green Dragon in the sky started to move around. Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja did not even lift a finger.
Whoosh…
Suddenly, all around them, a perpetual supply of leaves undulated from the grassy woods.
Under the bind of the Earth True Kang, the edges of the leaves grew razor-sharp, and was rippling through the air at a blinding speed. The energy it created was monstrous.
The sky was covered in a blanket of cutting leaves that could crumble a small mountain into flatland!
"What a scary force…. We have not seen Master Green Dragon in action for a while now. This old man's strength is still at pinnacle phase!"
All the other regular ninjas were both afraid and astonished at that power.
"Green Dragon Boss's strength had remained the same! I'm afraid that, among us three, only Phoenix could take the hit!" said the Black Tortoise Enigmatic Ninja.
Phoenix Enigmatic Ninja merely smile and said, "Sending our bro Green Dragon to kill that kid is no different than using a chainsaw to kill a chicken! Totally overkill!"
White Tiger Enigmatic Ninja nodded in agreement, looking at Chen Xiaobei with a look of contempt. "He's just young novice, how could he possibly think that he would be able to cause any severe damages?"
Phantom Rain said nothing. She had narrowed her eyes and remained watchful—out of all of them, she was the only one who did not take Chen Xiaobei lightly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
The razer-leaves came at all angles and directions toward Chen Xiaobei, forming almost a green sphere around Chen Xiaobei.
With 90,000 combat power, the damages each leaf could cause were enough to kill any elites that were not at Celestial cultivation! Even if an elite with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation were to stand there, he would have been shredded into meat juice.
"That is dead meat! Hahaha… What an idiot! He's only 20-years-old and he already wants to contest with Master Green Dragon? Stop daydreaming!"
The crowd was excited, grinning unperturbedly as they looked on at the battle. It was like watching a movie, everyone knows how it would end.
"Shut up, all of you!" Phantom Rain's reproach stopped their mocking.
She was actually a nervous wreck right now. Even though she was the boss of the Tenshou division, she still had a boss above her! And the person is none other than the Sky Ninja—also known as the God of Tenshou!
She was given the orders to capture Chen Xiaobei alive. But she had ordered Green Dragon to go up against him. She was worried that she might have overestimated Chen Xiaobei. What if Chen Xiaobei was not strong enough and was killed by Green Dragon? That would mean that she had failed her mission.
Chen Xiao was very young and he was a regular man who grew up in an ordinary society. How could he possibly be able to go up against a Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja that had been trained for 160 years?
When she thought of this, she was gravely conflicted. Was her decision the right one?
Boom!
Boom Boom…
Just then, a thunderous sound exploded in the air.
"What… What is that…"
The crowd turned as white as a ghost.
Their hearts thumped violently inside their chest and their ears throbbed.
What they saw the source of the explosion raised the hairs on their backs!
Boom…
The sound came from within the spheres of leaves! Flashes of lightning shot out from within like a dragon broke out from a shell.
And there it was: nine dragons, circling all around like they were about to pulverize the entire space!
Their claws and teeth, formed by lightning, crushed the sphere of razor-leaves into specks of dust and ashes!
Chen Xiaobei was seen standing upright where he was holding a small cube jade box.
The nine Lightning Dragons had come out from the jade box.
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei looked exactly like a Thunder God. His hair fluttering and his clothes flapping in the wind!
That's right!
It was not Chen Xiaobei who was minced but the supposedly lethal leaves that had just been turned to dust!
It was completely out of everyone's expectations. Their eyes bulging from their heads.
"How could that be possible? That kid just triggered a Lightning Celestial Event? How old is he? How could he have thwarted Green Dragon's attack?"
All three Enigmatic Ninjas were dumbfounded.
The other ninjas behind him who were laughing and jeering suddenly became deadly silent, looking like they had just seen a ghost.
"Green Dragon! Watch out!"
Phantom Rain suddenly let out a scream. Her delicate face scrunched up.
Boom…
While everyone was busy staring, Chen Xiaobei did not remain idle.
The nine Lightning Dragons were unabated but lunged themselves at the still jolted Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja.
"Shit…"
Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja's pupil contracted and a look of terror spread across his face!
Even though he was aware of what was happening. It was impossible for him to channel True Qi and form True Kang to protect himself!
The nine Lightning Dragon's killing power was no less than a 90,000 combat-power attack!
Without the protection of True Kang, even if Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja had 90,000 health, he would either be crippled for life or die!
Fwaaa!
Phantom Rain intervened immediately!
Layers of Water True Kang was set up in front of Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja in lightning speed before the attack could hit him!
"Chen Xiaobei! I've already figured out that you are not one to be underestimated! So, I've been keeping watch!"
Phantom Rain was extremely powerful, she was more than confident that she could protect Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja. An assertive smile played on her lips.
"Master Phantom Rain is almighty… Master Phantom Rain is powerful…"
"No matter how powerful Chen Xiaobei is, he could never escape from the palms of Master Phantom Rain!"
"I know right! Chen Xiaobei is a sad, tiny ant against Master Phantom Rain!"
The ninjas who had been watching cheered.
"Thank you, Master Phantom Rain…"
Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja let out a sigh of relief, grateful that his life was spared.
"Yasai, I admit that you are smart, but as I said before, I am way smarter than you!"
Chen Xiaobei grinned smugly, a glimmer of murderous intent lingered in the corner of his eyes.
Buzz…
Buzz…
Buzz…
Nine Lightning Dragons changed their course and charged toward the one hundred ninjas!
"Oh my god… That that that…"
The ninjas were hysterical.
The nine Lightning Dragons were about to collide with the Phantom Rain's Water True Kang Shield. No one expected Chen Xiaobei to change the course of his attack, from Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja to the lower cultivated ordinary ninjas!
Bam… Bam… Bam…
The thunder boomed and the lightning struck!
Phantom Rain did not expect it! Four Enigmatic Ninjas did not expect it! No one had anticipated it and there was no way they could have reacted quickly enough!
The nine Lightning Dragons charged ferociously toward the helpless sheep!
"Ahhh… Garghhh… Argh…"
Wherever the Lightning Dragons passed by, deafening bursts of screams would pierce the air.
Even though all the ninjas had True Nirvana Cultivation, before the nine Lightning Dragons, they were as fragile as paper, one touch and they would shatter. There was nothing they could do.
Under the attack of the dragons, their bodies exploded into a hundred pieces.
The dragons' teeth and claws tore at their bodies, shredding their flesh and hacking off their limbs, covering the ground with burnt body parts!
Even the ten pinnacle ninjas were unable to defend themselves, and were hacked into nothing more than a few pieces of charred meat.
In a short few minutes, except for Phantom Rain and four Enigmatic Ninjas, all the other members of the Tenshou Division were slaughtered. It was as effortless as spraying an army of ants with a repellent.
"How… How could it be…?"
The Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja was dumbstruck. He had thought that he had escaped death but he would never have thought that Chen Xiaobei would have used the diversion technique.
"Is this kid insane? Why would he want to kill our men?"
Black Tortoise Enigmatic Ninjas could not fathom Chen Xiaobei's decision.
White Tiger Enigmatic Ninjas was just as confused. "Our men could not even contribute to the battle. What's the use of killing them?"
"Master Phantom Rain, why do you suppose that is?" Phoenix Enigmatic Ninjas asked.
'I don't know…" Phantom Rain knitted her brows together, panic flooded her eyes. "But what I do know is that if we don't capture Chen Xiaobei, the four of you and I will be severely punished! The loss we've sustained had completely shaken our foundation!"
The four Enigmatic Ninjas were petrified to hear this.
It was difficult to find someone with True Nirvana Cultivation on the tiny island of Japan. These people were known as a group of prodigies! A lot of resources had been invested on them to make them became more powerful!
And it was even more rare to find a person who had reached the pinnacle phase of True Nirvana Cultivation; they were considered the prodigies of prodigies!
There was a mere 24 of them in the whole of Japan.
And today, Chen Xiaobei had killed all 100 True Nirvana cultivated ninjas and 10 ninjas with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana Cultivation in one breath!
Even if the Tenshou division still had a supplement of disciples, to restore today's loss would take up to 100 years!
Phantom Rain would definitely not be able to escape punishment for such a substantial loss!
If they failed to catch Chen Xiaobei alive, her punishment would be even harsher!
Wooo… Wooo…
Chen Xiaobei was not in a rush to execute another attack but was busy consuming the dead's blood essence and souls, assimilating them into his Chaos Blood Sword.
With hundreds of these blood essence and souls, the strength of the Chaos Blood Sword would increase up to 100,000 combat power!
That was one of the reasons why Chen Xiaobei did that diversionary attack.
To charge the Thunder Pool Tesseract's energy, Chen Xiaobei had used up 3,000 Spiritual Stones.
It went without saying that, Chen Xiaobei would have to lessen their expenditure.
Other than Phantom Rain, this sword could kill the four of the other men!
But if he did not take care of Phantom Rain, he would not be able to use the sword.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Later phase of Celestial cultivation. Health: 110,000. Combat power!]
Chen Xiaobei had used the Netherspirit Battlescouter to see Phantom Rain's true strength, which was also giving Chen Xiaobei a headache.
This woman's combat power was ridiculously high! She would be able to snap the Chaos Blood Sword into half like a toothpick.
If Chen Xiaobei used the sword impulsively, he would go home with his tail between his legs.
Phantom Rain looked like she was no more than 21 or 22 years old.
Those so-called prodigies looked like a joke next to her.
Chen Xiaobei was starting to wonder if this woman was the reincarnated Daji herself!
Because the Prime of Tongtian had said before that the reincarnated Daji's was going to be the key for Chen Xiaobei to explore a brand new journey in his life! The sooner he finds her, the more advantageous it would be to Chen Xiaobei!
Could it be that Phantom Rain's phenomenal training speed came from the mysterious new journey?
That was actually possible!
Chen Xiaobei decided that he would have to capture this woman alive.
After all, right now, other than the nuclear bomb, Chen Xiaobei had no way to kill her.
As for the Deity Constricting Rope, Chen Xiaobei dare not use it too liberally.
He would after all need to burn 1,000 Spiritual Stones to power the item! If he failed to capture Phantom Rain, that would be a massive loss!
Chen Xiaobei came up with an idea and saw that he had 5,050 Spiritual Stones left in Green Jade Gourd. He took the 50 Stones and put it into the Golden Circlet. This particular item was acquired from Sanzang's Red Envelope. It actually had the same function as the Deity Constricting Rope!
He would have to settle for the cheaper alternative for now.
"Chen Xiaobei! What are you doing?"
Phantom Rain looked nervous.
Seeing streams of Blood Qi swirling into Chen Xiaobei's palm, put her on edge.
The four Enigmatic Ninjas were subtly channeling True Qi to them, not letting their guards down even for a second.
"Yasai San! I want to challenge you! Will you take it?"
Chen Xiaobei put on a provocative expression to prod her.
"Challenge? With you?"
Phantom Rain stared at him, frosty and full of indignance.
20 years old, with a combat power of 110,000 – only the leader of Divine Sovereign Sect could take her on!
What harm could Chen Xiaobei inflict on her?
"Do you see anyone else?" Chen Xiaobei said, "You and me. One to one. One round is more than enough! Let me ask you again, do you have the balls to accept the challenge?"
"Huh! Why wouldn't I dare?" Phantom Rain stepped forward and instructed, "I want the four of you to sit on your hands! Don't try to help or anything! Let me catch him myself!"
"Yes!" four Enigmatic Ninjas retreated.
There was no way Phantom Rain would not be able to capture Chen Xiaobei herself. That was why there was no need for them to intervene.
"Yasai San, are you ready to get a taste of lightning and thunder?!"
Chen Xiaobei was holding the Thunder Pool Tesseract in his left hand.
"Hmph! So you're relying on Spiritual Item to fight! I guarantee that you won't be able to strike me!"
Phantom Rain put her palms together and activated her ninjutsu!
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"Naruto's Shadow Clone technique
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
In an instant, ten figures appeared, each of them the perfect copy of Phantom Rain. It was impossible to tell them apart from the real Phantom Rain.
"Come on, Chen Xiaobei! Go ahead use your Spiritual Item to strike me!"
When Phantom Rain opened her mouth to speak, all of the other Phantom Rain spoke at the same time. Their lips moved in synchronicity and their voices, every pitch and tone, were exactly the same.
"Spiritual Item may be powerful but they require a lot of Spiritual Qi. Why don't you give it a try? Will you eliminate all my clones or run out of Spiritual Qi first?
All eleven Phantom Rains smiled, looking at Chen Xiaobei mockingly.
This woman was like a bloomed poopy, beautiful but secretly deadly.
"Master Phantom Rain is simple too powerful! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is the great choice to use against that kid!"
"That's right! Master Phantom Rain's Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is very skillfully done! Even if the kid were to exhaust his Spiritual Item, he may not be able to locate Master Phantom Rain herself!"
"This challenge had no suspense in it at all! Master Phantom Rain is just entertaining the kid! She could finish the job any time she wants to!"
The four Enigmatic Ninjas watched heatedly from the sidelines. Certain that Phantom Rain would handle this without a hitch.
Even if they had suffered a great loss today, having Chen Xiaobei captured and brought back to the Tenshou headquarters would fix that!
Not only would they be spared from the rod, but the Tenshou God might also be so pleased that he would reward them!
"Chen Xiaobei, are you too distressed by my Kage Bunshin no Jutsu? Why aren't you doing anything? Aw, are you too reluctant to use your Spiritual Qi? What happened to the challenge? Don't you chicken out!"
Phantom Rain sniggered, her tone thick with scorn.
'Heh, do you really think that I won't be able to tell you apart?"
Chen Xiaobei was not the least bit perturbed; in fact, he felt like laughing.
'Bullshit!" Phantom Rain rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaobei and said self-assuredly, "I have reached the highest level of Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Even the four Enigmatic Ninjas won't be able to identify me!"
"What if I could?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled.
'Pfft! Please! Drop your act! If you could do that, I will take your surname!"
Phantom Rain smirked.
"Hehe, Chen Yasai? It sounds so old-fashioned…" Chen Xiaobei teased.
"I warned you to call me Master Phantom Rain! Go ahead and point me out then! If not then stop bluffing already!" Phantom Rain scoffed. "You really are a man. All talk and no action! You're worse than a woman!"
"Since you're so determined, then I will point you out!"
Chen Xiaobei raised his hand and pointed at one of the Phantom Rain and said, "That's you, right?"
"How… How could that be… The probability of that is one out of ten. You were just guessing and got very lucky…"
The clone that Chen Xiaobei pointed at looked absolutely frightened.
Chen Xiaobei was right. That was Phantom Rain herself!
"So what if I was just guessing. From today onward, your name is Chen Yasai! Haha…"
Chen Xiaobei let out a laugh.
"Stop calling me Yasai! You idiot! God, I'm so pissed!"
Phantom Rain stamped her feet angrily. Again, she attempted to activate another ninjutsu while channeling True Qi to her body!
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
Suddenly, another ten clones appeared and Phantom Rain herself took the opportunity to swap places with one of them.
"We'll see how you could guess it right again!"
All the clones opened their mouth to speak in unison. All glaring at Chen Xiaobei.
"Let me tell you something. My entire life, for every test and exam, I have always just guessed! That's how I got my nickname Lucky God!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged, smiling sardonically, "On the basis that you now share my surname, I will give you one more chance! Hurry and make more clones. There's too little now, it's not challenging at all!"
"You…" Phantom Rain gnashed her teeth, feeling the urge to slap this pretentious prick!
She had already mastered her Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
Right now, there were already up to a hundred clones. It was enough to confound any normal human being.
But this asshole said that it was not challenging enough?
What kind of bullshit was that?
"This kid is insane? He's taunting Master Phantom Rain!"
"If it were not for the higher authority's orders to capture this kid alive, he would already be dead."
"They said to capture him alive but they said nothing about him being injured. Just watch, Master Phantom Rain will teach him a lesson he'll never forget!"
The four Enigmatic Ninjas whispered amongst themselves. They strongly believed that whatever bullshit Chen Xiaobei was trying to pull, it would not end well for him.
"Chen Xiaobei! I am not to be fooled with! I won't do it! This is as many clones as you'll get. Now, hurry up and point out where am I!" Phantom Rain spat. "If you choose the wrong one, I will hang you but by your legs and beat you into a pulp! We'll see what horseshit you'll be able to pull off then!"
"Sigh, you're really underestimating my ability to guess!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged as he aimed his finger at one of the clones and said, "Chen Yasai, let me ask you, are you happy now?"
"That… That's impossible…"
The clone wore a look of wild disbelief.
Once again, Chen Xiaobei was right.
"That is impossible… There were almost a hundred of them! We feel dizzy just looking at them… But that kid was able to tell which one was Master Phantom Rain herself? He should go buy the lottery with this kind of luck…"
The four Enigmatic Ninjas were floored. They could not understand how Chen Xiaobei did it.
Even if it was pure luck, that was just too unbelievable!
The truth was nothing they could ever have guessed. Chen Xiaobei was able to tell the real Phantom Rain from the fake ones not because he was lucky but because of the big Red Envelope that the Monkey King had given him!
Inside the Red Envelope was the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes that the Monkey King crafted personally! It allowed Chen Xiaobei to see through almost everything!
All Chen Xiaobei had to do was blink and spot, even if it were among a thousand clones, he would be able to spot the real one within seconds!
"Even if you got it right again, I will still hang you up and give you a good beating!"
Phantom Rain was really wound up. Curling her hands into fists, she charged, amok, towards Chen Xiaobei.
"You really don't know how to admit defeat, do you? I won't allow this sort of bad habit!" Chen Xiaobei smiled. "Just you wait, I'll tie you up and smack your naughty little butt!"
"You prick! You're still daydreaming when you're about to die, eh? You want to bind me with your rubbish cultivation? Die…huh? What… What is that?"
A gold circle shot out of Chen Xiaobei's fingers, and expanded before her eyes.
The Golden Circlet!
Chen Xiaobei had chosen this time, when Phantom Rain was distracted, to unleash this Spiritual Item. It was a surprise attack! Right now, Phantom Rain was still in shock that Chen Xiaobei was able to point her out, still pissed that Chen Xiaobei kept addressing her as Chen Yasai, and vexed that she was humiliated in front of her subordinates.
She had thought nothing of Chen Xiaobei's strength; that, combined with the shock, anger and exasperation, saw Phantom Rain let her guard down! This was the chance for Chen Xiaobei to gain the upper hand!
"Oh no…"
The golden light flashed instantly before Phantom Rain.
The four Enigmatic Ninjas felt their heart stopped beating in their chests for a split second.
While they were 100% confident in Phantom Rain, Chen Xiaobei had many tricks up his sleeves. God knows what he would do to let Phantom Rain suffered this time!
"How childish!"
But right at this critical moment, the corner of Phantom Rain's lips curled into a sneer.
Wrooom…
The Golden Circlet fastened itself around the crown of her head.
"The Golden Circlet is ineffective on her!"
Chen Xiaobei did not look happy at all.
No matter how much the Golden Circlet tightened, Phantom Rain showed no signs of pain! It was as if the Golden Circlet was fake!
From the moment he took out the Golden Circlet, to the moment he put it onto Phantom Rain's head, Chen Xiaobei was certain that it was Phantom Rain herself! But just as the Golden Circlet was wrapping itself around her head, Phantom Rain herself suddenly turned into a scapegoat!
Whoosh…
Phantom Rain vaporized and the Golden Circlet was on the head of a rag doll!
"Kawarimi no Jutsu!"
"That's why Master Phantom Rain really is really good! She could complete Kawarimi no Jutsu in such a short time. That's just amazing!"
"That's right! How can our Master Phantom Rain be preceded by that kid?"
"That kid will vanquish against Master Phantom Rain!"
The four Enigmatic Ninjas cheered. Their excitement brewing.
This sudden turn of an imminently perilous event, cause them to become spirited, certain that the odds that Chen Xiaobei would win was zero.
"Kawarimi no Jutsu?"
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he was very surprised. Was this not the ninjutsu in the ninja manga?
Even though Chen Xiaobei's Golden Circlet was on the wrong target, he was pretty happy with this little victory. This test had resulted in Phantom Rain revealing her way to save her own life. That meant that Chen Xiaobei had managed to save 1,000 Spiritual Stones! If Chen Xiaobei had chosen to use the Deity Constricting Rope just now, he would cry himself blind for binding a dummy.
"You prick! Surrender your life!"
Phantom Rain wasted no time. She immediately launched an attack to capture Chen Xiaobei.
The power Chen Xiaobei had displayed was too surprising and was as strong as Phantom Rain's. She dared not delay another second, afraid that the tide may turn on her.
Whoosh…
With the Water True Qi channeling within her, True Kang was formed around Phantom Rain.
Needlelike Water True Kang flew toward Chen Xiaobei, shrouding him like a rainstorm.
The water in the air around them glimmered as they affix themselves to the True Kang.
Phantom Rain's speed of triggering her Water Celestial Event was clearly faster than Green Dragon's.
This showed that Phantom Rain's divination of the natural forces was deeper and more apparent. The speed at which she triggered the Celestial Event was even faster than most of the demigods! A single will was more than enough for her to do it!
Swoosh!
Every drop of 'rain' was a 110,000 combat-power killing weapon!
There were countless of 'raindrops'. If it were the four Enigmatic Ninjas who were in Chen Xiaobei's right now, they would all be killed!
This woman's true strength was really scary!
"If I can't use the Deity Constricting Rope on her, I won't be able to use my sword. Then there's no point for me to keep fighting this battle. It's time to make a run for it!"
Chen Xiaobei remained composed as he analyzed his situation methodically.
"If I don't leave now, and something bad happens, I won't be able to derail Demonic Fox's wedding! On top of that, Chen Zhufeng's mask had already been discovered, if Nikkawa Uchu is informed of this, the chances of getting my hands on the Xu Fu's treasure box would be very slim! In fact, it is very likely that Phantom Rain is the reincarnated Daji! I can't be involved in a fatal fight with her just yet! The best thing to do now is split!"
After a deliberating the merits and drawbacks, Chen Xiaobei came to the decision to retreat.
But instead of launching a counterattack or evading, he spread out his arms to receive the formidable rainstorm!
"What are you doing? Do you want to die?"
Phantom Rain was again alarmed by Chen Xiaobei's nonchalance in the face of danger.
She had not forgotten that the Tenshou's orders were to bring him back ALIVE. If Chen Xiaobei were to die, the headquarters would lose the key evidence to their investigation of the 'secret'! Besides that, the imperial army's plan to use Chen Xiaobei as their hostage would be destroyed!
Phantom Rain was stuck in a tight corner—the punishment she would receive for that would be worse than she let Chen Xiaobei escape!
"That's right. I do want to die. But, Chen Yasai, are you sure you want to kill me?"
Chen Xiaobei grinned. He had counted on Phantom Rain to change her mind.
It was not that she did not want to but because she was afraid to kill him!
Whoop…
Phantom Rain's brows furrowed as she exerted all her energy to withdraw the formidable True Kang rainstorm.
"Heh, I told you earlier—if I want to leave, no one will be able to stop me!"
Chen Xiaobei saw the chance to summon the Somersault Cloud and soared into the skies.
"Hurry! Stop him! Don't let him get away!" Phantom Rain, who was caught off-guard, shouted.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The four Enigmatic Ninjas's reacted swiftly. They wanted to unleash their True Kang at him, but they were also worried that they might accidentally kill Chen Xiaobei.
So, they did not do it in end, causing them to be not as fast and ruthless as they could be.
The Somersault Cloud's speed was only a little bit faster than elites with early phase of Celestial cultivation but it escaped the four Enigmatic Ninjas' attack without breaking a sweat.
Heaven Ladder!" Phantom Rain shouted and trigger another Water Celestial Event!
A water staircase that reaches the sky appeared.
She crouched her fragile body and sprinted, reaching over ten meters high in a matter of seconds and was already ready to hit Chen Xiaobei with her True Kang.
Deep down, she understood that this would be her last chance to capture him. If he escaped this time, it would like catching lightning in a bottle! She might never be able to hunt down Chen Xiaobei again!
Whoosh!
The water True Kang transformed into a sharp sword, tearing through the air toward Chen Xiaobei's Dantian.
This time, Phantom Rain had deployed all of her energy and speed, risking everything in one throw. She must get ahold of Chen Xiaobei!
The Somersault Cloud was not fast enough to evade this attack.
And Chen Xiaobei's Dantian was struck!Body Replacement/Substitution Technique
Whoosh!
Phantom Rain's attack hit Chen Xiaobei squarely in the Dantian!
The immense force of the sword sent Chen Xiaobei flying at least ten meters away.
"Good! Now you can't run away, Chen Xiaobei!" Phantom Rain's lips curved into a beguiling smile.
Once Chen Xiaobei's Dantian was destroyed, his cultivation would be gone. He would not be able to communicate telepathically with the Somersault Cloud and would be falling from the sky any time soon!
"That's great! Master Phantom Rain did it! How awesome!"
"She captured Chen Xiaobei alive and only destroyed his cultivation, this is a great success!"
"I told you that this kid will never be able to escape from Master Phantom Rain's palm!"
"Hurry, go over the spot he fell, tie him up and then bring him back to Tenshou Island! Get ready to receive your reward! Haha…"
On the ground, the four Enigmatic Ninjas were celebrating, as they rushed to where Chen Xiaobei had fallen! But when they got there, they realized that though Chen Xiaobei was hit so hard he flew about ten meters away, he did not crash!
"Chen Yasai! Mark my words!" Chen Xiaobei was still midair, completely unharmed. "I will tie you up soon and I will smack your little ass until it cracks!"
After that, Chen Xiaobei flew off in the Somersault Cloud. Clearly, the reason why Chen Xiaobei could escape after Yasai struck her was because of the Ultimate Protective Puppet!
Seeing Chen Xiaobei leave just like that, left Phantom Rain and four Enigmatic Ninjas gaping at the sky.
"How… How did that happen…"
The smile on Phantom Rain stiffened. How could he had slipped through her fingers?!
This was really frustrating for her.
"What the hell… Could that kid be a deity? If it were either one of us, the sword would've pierced through us like a stick through candied fruits. It was nothing happened to him…"
The four Enigmatic Ninjas were still in a state of shock. They were just scampering to catch the crippled Chen Xiaobei.
But Chen Xiaobei was perfectly fine.
The four old quacks stood on the ground as fear engulfed them!
With Chen Xiaobei gone, they would surely receive severe punishment. What was worse was that the everyone below Enigmatic Ninjas in the Tenshou division were exterminated, the punishment for that would be even more severe!
Bam!
Phantom Rain came down from the sky. The ground where she had landed caved into a 'u'. Protected by the True Kang, she was completely unharmed.
"Quick! Pick up the phone and call Nikkawa Uchu! Now!" Phantom Rain did not waste a second.
Her position in the Tenshou was pretty high so, it would be nearly impossible to escape punishment.
She had to find another way to salvage the situation.
"Why are we calling Nikkawa Uchu? Didn't you say that you don't want him to find out in case he tries to snatch Chen Xiaobei himself?" The fat Black Tortoise Enigmatic Ninja asked, clearly perplexed by his leader's decision.
"Is your brain made out of mush? Did you not see what had just happened? Why are you still worried that he will snatch Chen Xiaobei? Chen Xiaobei was heading towards the direction of the Imperial Household Agency hospital. He's probably going back to hold Nikkawa Okazaka as hostage!" Phantom Rain spat. "We have to let Nikkawa Uchu intercept! If we don't, that useless crown prince will be captured, the Holy Lady from Divine Sovereign Sect won't be able to get married and the few of us left will be executed!"
"That…" Sweat poured down Black Tortoise Enigmatic Ninja's forehead and armpits. "Hurry! Quick! Green Dragon Boss dials the number! We need to block Chen Xiaobei or we'll all be toast!"
The other three Enigmatic Ninjas' face turned purple, a sudden chill ran down their spine.
Immediately, Green Dragon took out his phone and dialed, all the while his hands were shaking violently!
Although it was not spelled out, from the looks of it, it seemed like there was more to the crown prince's wedding.
It was not just a ceremony. There was an overriding motive to this event.
If the wedding could not take place, even these Celestial cultivated elites would not be able to escape judgment and death so easily!
...
Having flown away from the Shallow Grass Temple area. Chen Xiaobei immediately changed the course of his flight and headed for the Tokyo Imperial Palace.
Earlier, he had intentionally flown towards the Imperial Household Agency hospital to send his enemies on a wild goose chase. The destination he was headed for was actually the Emperor's quarters! He was going to steal the Xu Fu's treasure box!
If he did not act today, with Chen Zhufeng's mask blown and all, he could only dream of getting a hold of it!
Luckily, everything was as Chen Xiaobei had predicted.
From a distance, Chen Xiaobei could see a black shadow rush out of the Emperor's quarters like an arrow from a bow, a hundred times faster than a car!
That was none other than Nikkawa Uchu.
Now that the lion had left its den, Chen Xiaobei could infiltrate the Emperor's quarter without any qualms.
The Emperor's quarter was, obviously, under the surveillance of heavily armed soldiers. It was huge with an exquisitely decorated interior.
It would be a heck of a task to find Nikkawa Uchu's bedroom among the throngs of rooms.
But because that room was the prohibited area in the emperor's quarter, it was separated from the gargantuan house. The more accurate term to describe the room would be 'mausoleum'. It sat, all on its own, in the back yard; very easily spotted. Chen Xiaobei had used the Dreamcatcher Bell earlier and found out that even the crown prince Nikkawa Okazaka was forbidden to enter.
There was not a guard in sight but there were a dozen surveillance cameras and the most advanced police-monitored alarm system.
If anyone goes near it, the palace security, even Nikkawa Uchu himself, would be the first to be alerted.
While these may be an effective system to prevent the regular men from breaking and entering, it was useless against Chen Xiaobei!
"This is just too easy!"
Hovering 10m above the ground, Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and took out the Dragon's Edge!
He held the hilt with both hands, raised it above his head and shot down on the somersault cloud, aiming at the roof of the mausoleum and struck!
Bam!
The black sword fell like an aerolite and shattered the reinforced custom-built roof!
All over the emperor's quarters, the alarm rang.
But Chen Xiaobei was not worried about that at all. He moseyed towards Nikkawa Uchu's bed and found a metal brocade box next to the pillow.
"Xiao'er! Come out and open this lock!" Chen Xiaobei instructed.
"I'm coming!"
A gold beetle jumped out of Chen Xiaobei's pocket and chewed the box open in two bites.
"Violet Cold Steel! Mmm… It's so delicious…Wahaha…"
Xiao'er took a few more bites and jumped around, excited.
"Alright! Stop eating!" Chen Xiaobei shouted.
He knew that this brocade box was made of a very special metal—so special that even the leader of Divine Sovereign Sect could not pry it open.
This metal must be a Spiritual Item that could help him boost his health. He could not let Xiao'er gobble it up all by itself.
"Oh…" Xiao'er answered dejectedly as it stepped aside,
"Look at what's inside the box!" Chen Xiaobei said, full of anticipation.
"Why is this here?" Chen Xiaobei could not believe what he saw inside the brocade box.
Instead of the ninth piece of the Orochi Scale that Li Xiang was looking for, there was a piece of dark purple gemstone!
Chen Xiaobei had seen this the material of this gemstone before, it was exactly the same as the rosary in the Sui Generis Dragon Artifact!
"Dark Purple Crystal! This is a big one! Bro Bei! Can I please have a bite? I'm starving…"
Xiao'er quavered, looking rather excited.
This little thing really was a chowhound. It would not budge when it saw delicious food.
You could tell, from its reaction, that the Dark Purple Crystal could be considered as Spiritual Item that had a higher tier than the Violet Cold Steel!
To Xiao'er, the better the tier of a Spiritual Item, the tastier it was.
"Not now! Not yet!" Chen Xiaobei said, "I used the Dreamcatcher Bell and found out from Nikkawa Okazaka that there is a key to an ancient treasure vault! If you bite it, how are we going to open it?"
"But I'm starving…"
Xiao'er looked at the Dark Purple Crystal, drooling.
"Bear with me first! Wait until we find the treasury and then get the door opened. Then, we will eat it together!"
Chen Xiaobei picked up the Dark Purple Crystal and took a deep breath, "It's exactly the same… Brr… So cold…"
Chen Xiaobei felt the cold even when he had 39,000 health because the Dark Purple Crystal was a Yin type Spiritual Item which emitted a bone-chilling cold. He picked up the Dark Purple Crystal and examined it: it was about palm-sized and at first-look resembled a token. Other than that, there was nothing else special about it and did not tell of the exact location of the treasury.
"It looks like I'll have to ask Qie Loulan."
Chen Xiaobei took out the spirit cage and released the unusual-looking Eight-Stars Wight.
"Bro Bei! Is there anything I can help you with?"
Qie Loulan rose and stretched to about 3 meters tall. He seemed to have grown a little and his Yin Qi was so strong that it raised hairs.
"Oh? Why do I feel like you've become stronger?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"It's because of that Dark Purple Crystal Rosary!" Qie Loulan answered, "The Yin Energy of the Dark Purple Crystal harmonizes perfectly with my body. It's a perfect match! It is very beneficial to my Spiritual Body. Even though my combat power did not increase, I am back to the tip-top condition I was in!"
"Tip-top condition?" Chen Xiaobei raised his brow and asked, "Did you recall anything from your past?"
"Yes! I remember some things!" Qie Loulan answered in a serious tone, "The place where I hibernated was in the seabed. It was an ancient archeological site called Temple Qielan!"
"Seabed? Archeological site? Temple Qielan?"Chen Xiaobei turned this information over his mind and said, "If that's the case, that archeological site must be the ancient treasure vault that Nikkawa Okazaka was talking about! And this piece of Dark Purple Crystal is the key to open it!"
"
"Huh? There's still a Dark Purple Crystal?!" Qie Loulan's eyes lit up when he spotted the Dark Purple Crystal Token in Chen Xiaobei's hands.
"Do you remember the exact location of the site?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"I can't think of anything for now, but if we're near, I might be able to sense it…" Qie Loulan said uncertainly.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Surround the bedroom! The emperor is on his way back! We cannot let the thief run away!"
There was loud commotion outside.
He palace guards had definitely gathered around outside and made sure that all the exits are completely blocked off. When he heard his men's voice over the phone, Nikkawa Uchu knew that he was tricked and quickly rushed back.
"We have to go!" Chen Xiaobei placed the new Dark Purple Crystal into the spirit cage and instructed, "Qie Loulan, think carefully, see if you can remember the location of the archeological site. I will ask you again later!"
"Yes, Master!"
Qie Loulan returned into his Spirit Cage.
Xiao'er also made its way back into Chen Xiaobei's pocket.
"Let's go!" Chen Xiaobei stepped onto the Somersault Cloud and flew out of the hole in the roof.
The palace guards outside were all quite weak. They did not even spot Chen Xiaobei's escape.
Chen Xiaobei had already cleared out Japan's national treasury and there was nothing worthy of stealing in here. He had wanted to meet up with Six Ear Macaque and the rest but shortly after he left Tokyo, a loud whizzing sound came up from behind him.
"What is that?"
Chen Xiaobei turned around and was surprised to find ten black fighter aircrafts pursuing him! Those were no ordinary fighter aircraft, but the USA's latest H-2 Falcon supersonic fighter aircraft! This bird was currently named the world's fastest fighter jet. It had not been revealed to the public yet—only the USA and its staunch allies were equipped with it! The rest of the countries had not even heard of it!
So, how fast was that aircraft?
The Somersault Cloud under Chen Xiaobei's feet was crafted by Lei Zhenzi, using the Prosperous Cloud. It could travel up to 100,000 miles a day! And this Falcon combat aircraft was able to catch up to Chen Xiaobei! This proved that it was much faster than the Somersault Cloud Chen XIaobei was on!
At a rough estimation, its speed was at least 15 times faster than the speed of sound. This was why the person who controls the army and own the most advanced technology governs a country!
This aircraft with supersonic guided missiles could kill an elite with middle phase Celestial cultivation with ease!
"I'm in grave danger! I really underestimated Chen Yasai and Nikkawa Uchu… They actually deployed the most advanced combat aircraft to pursue me!"
Chen Xiaobei's frown deepened. "I've already used the Ultimate Protective Puppet. I will have to wait 24 hours before I can use it for the second time! These ten-combat aircraft will terminate me! They can't be here because Six Ear Macaque and the rest are hiding inside the forest. If they were found, I won't be able to protect them! What should I do?"
Chen Xiaobei looked really sullen; he had not taken the Imperial Japanese Air Force into account!
It would not be long before Chen Xiaobei would come into view of the Falcon combat aircraft's firing range. The missiles would be travel faster and the lesser the chance he would be able to dodge it!
"Could it that one wrong move and I lose everything?"
Chen Xiaobei was overwrought. If something happened to him now, everything he had worked so hard for would all go down the toilet!
"Wait! That's it."
Chen Xiaobei suddenly spotted a way out from the corner of his eyes!
"Oh!"
Chen Xiaobei's gaze locked on something on the shore.
Japan is an island country surrounded by waters. From the aerial view, Chen Xiaobei saw that the nearest coastline was less than ten seconds away. No matter how relentless the Falcon combat aircrafts were, they would never pursue Chen Xiaobei all the way into the ocean.
To him, the sea was no different to land—it would suit him very well to hide in there.
Chen Xiaobei stored his mobile phone into the Infinite Space Ring and made a dash for the nearest beach!
"Reporting! Reporting! The target is flying at a lower altitude. It looks like he's about to enter the forest! Please advised! Please advise!" The pilots reported to the command center.
In the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force base about ten kilometers away, Nikkawa Uchu and Phantom Rain were watching the feed sent from the aircrafts.
"Your mission is to keep your eyes on the target! The bomber is now airborne. You are only supposed to track his position. No matter where he hides, it's a dead end for him!"
Nikkawa Uchu barked the orders into the microphone.
"Don't let him get away!"
Phantom Rain clenched her fists, her beautiful big eyes glaring at the Chen Xiaobei on the screen.
But immediately after that, both Nikkawa Uchu and Phantom Rain could not believe their eyes.
Plop!
They saw Chen Xiaobei plunge into the ocean.
"Reporting! Reporting! The target has dived into the ocean! Could he be committing suicide because he knew there was no way out? Please advise! Should we return to base?"
The pilot reported immediately, clearly stumped by Chen Xiaobei's decision.
"Suicide my ass! You pig-brained! How could Chen Xiaobei possibly want to commit suicide?" Phantom Rain was outraged. "All ten of you, split up and lower your altitudes! Watch the ocean surface! Once Chen Xiaobei comes up, report back immediately! We will send the warships and submarines over now!"
"That…"
The pilot was a little upset to be receiving orders from a woman.
"That what? Follow your orders!" Nikkawa Uchu barked and then immediately did as Phantom Rain said and called the warships and submarines.
"Your Highness! I think we should go there ourselves!" Phantom Rain said, "This Chen Xiaobei is different from your regular criminal! One slip up and we'll lose the ship!"
"I've never heard Phantom Rain say that about someone!" Nikkawa Uchu said, "Let's leave now! We'll take the destroyer there! If Chen Xiaobei resurfaces, I'll put him on his deathbed!"
"He's no fish! He will have to come up for breath!" Phantom Rain said, her tone frosty.
...
In the east coast of Japan, in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, Chen Xiaobei had plunged deep into the waters. The strange thing was he did not even swim. He had dived in, straight-backed, arms together above his head and toes pointed, as if the buoyant force of the saltwater did not affect him!
In fact, he did not show any signs of oxygen deprivation as if he could breathe in the waters.
What's more mind-boggling was that once he was near the seabed, it was pitch black but his vision was not affected and had managed to avoid the fishes on his way down.
This scene would surely shock any regular person.
But those who knew Chen Xiaobei would know that he possessed these underwater abilities because he had managed to grab a Red Envelope in the on the night on the eve of Chinese New Year!
Inside the red packet from Third Dragon Prince was a Waterproof Nacre 1 !
With this pearl, Chen Xiaobei would not have to go up for breath, he could even live underwater forever!
"This should be the safest spot!"
Chen Xiaobei stood firmly on a reef, and looked up. The distance to the surface was about a few thousand meters. The aircraft will not be able to threaten his safety.
The surrounding was pretty peaceful.
Chen Xiaobei decided to sit down and think things through. "The Saturn Peach Feast is about to begin. Let me go to the ground to hang around first!"
Blob…
A bubble the size of a basin formed as Chen Xiaobei had intended.
There was no water inside the bubble but it did not float upwards and was hovering in front of Chen Xiaobei!
Blob! Blob!
Chen Xiaobei reached his hands into the bubble but it did not pop. It was obvious that this was one of the Waterproof Nacre's special abilities. He then reached into the Infinite Space Ring and took out his phone. The bubble blocked out the sea water so the mobile phone could function normally. There was no signal deep inside the ocean but the Three Realms Red Envelope Group was using the Three Realms Intranet. So he would still have signal even if he were in the underworld!
He opened the Red Envelope Group and it was already bustling.
Bull Demon King: Why is time moving so slowly? When will the Saturn Peach Feast begin? I can't wait any longer!"
Wei Xiaobao: I know right! Only the high-ranked deities can attend, we could only wait here!
Xiao Tianquan: Be grateful that you could attend! If it weren't for the Red Envelope Group, we wouldn't even be getting a Saturn Peach!
Diao Chan: Doggo is right! This is the first Saturn Peach Feast since the Red Envelope Group was first established. The Queen Mother made an exception to reward us with some Saturn Peaches. This is completely unprecedented!
Xiao Tianquan: Why must you call me Doggo? ?
Diao Chan: But, you are a dog! Hehe!
Lu Bu: Xiao Tianquan! How dare you flirt with my wife?! When I become a deity, I will challenge you! ?️
Xiao Tianquan: Your wife was the one who flirted with me, okay! ? Also, even if you become a deity, you would still be no match for me ?
Lu Bu: I…?
Diao Chan: Bubu, don't get angry! We don't always get to make remarks online. You should happy that you get to talk to them!
Lu Bu: Hmph! If it weren't for the Saturn Peach, I wouldn't be involved in this conversation!
Zhao Yun: Wow! You talk as if you are going to get a Saturn Peach for sure! I heard that there are only ten Saturn Peaches up for grabs! There are at least a few 10,000 people vying to get one!
Hou Yi: I have insider information here! The Queen Mother will handpick ten people to reward. Whoever gives the old lady the best gift will get the Saturn peach!
Silver Fox: Everyone had already prepared a gift! Tonight, everyone will come up with the best that they have with them! Only fate will decide who gets the gold!
Chen Xiaobei: Ahem! Hi everyone! I, Chen Xiaobei, am back! ? mother-of-pearl
Xiao Tianquan: God Chen is back! Long time no see! ?
Bull Demon King: Haha…Today is the Saturn Peach Feast, most of the deities are invited to the Heavenly Lake. I didn't expect that God Chen would come here to spend time with us!
Chen Xiaobei: I'm no god… I'm just an ordinary human being!
Diao Chan: Wow! Chen Xiaobei! You are known as the prodigy in this group. Not only you can write a good poem but also sing really well! I'm a big fan!
Chen Xiaobei: Hahaha… Lady, I don't deserve your compliment. I'm just a normal man. I was just lucky!
Lu Bu: Chen Xiaobei! How dare you flirt with my wife?! I will definitely fight you one-on-one after I become a deity!
Chen Xiaobei: I didn't flirt with your wife… What's your current combat power… Let's talk about it first…"
Xiao Tianquan: God Chen. Just ignore him… He's one of those overprotective husbands! He wants to fight all those that talk to his wife! However, he still didn't manage to turn into deity after training for hundreds of years!
Zhao Yun: Lu Bu, you better shut your mouth! Look at the time, I think Queen Mother and the rest of the deities are going to enter the group really soon! If you make her unhappy, I don't think she will give you any Saturn Peaches!
Hou Yi: I have the latest news with me! Fellow deities have just toasted with Queen Mother. She mentioned that it's time to enter the group to celebrate the Saturn Peach Feast with everyone!
Chen Xiaobei: So, she's coming right now! I'm really looking forward to it!
Goddess Chexia: Cough! Everyone, please stop chatting for a while! Let's put our hands together to welcome the Queen Mother and Jade Emperor!
Bull Demon King: Welcome! Welcome!
Diao Chan: Welcome! Welcome!
Xiao Tianquan: Welcome Queen Mother!
...…
...…
...…
Suddenly, the whole group became really joyful. After all, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were the rulers of heaven. If it was not because of the Red Envelope Group, none of them would have the opportunity to talk to them.
Jade Emperor: Thank you for the warm welcome! The star of the day is Queen Mother. Next, I will let her do the talking. I won't interrupt her anymore!
Queen Mother: Everyone is so friendly and kind here. I feel really warm and glad. For all the previous Saturn Peach Feast, I can only invite fellow deities to the Heavenly Lake to celebrate it with me. Now, with Red Envelope Group, I can finally celebrate with all the living being within the three realms! There are only a limited number of Saturn Peaches. I'm afraid I can't give everyone one each here. That's why I will pick ten lucky winners from this group to receive the Saturn Peaches that I just plucked! There are a total of six 3,000-year-old Saturn Peaches, three 6,000-year-old Saturn Peaches, and one 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach!
Bull Demon King: Oh my lord! I thought there are only ten 3,000-year-old Saturn Peaches! I didn't expect that you would give out 6,000-year-old Saturn Peaches and 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach! Have 32 likes from me!
Diao Chan: Queen Mother! That's really generous of you! We love you so much!
Lu Bu: I did not expect Queen Mothe to bring a 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach! I will be able to become a deity if I can get my hands on it!
Zhao Yun: With that 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach, I will be able to become a deity as well!
Xiao Tianquan: I don't ask for too much. A 3,000-year-old Saturn Peach is good enough for me!
Goddess Chexia: I have heard that everyone has prepared something for the Queen Mother! However, there are too many members here. It's not possible for Queen Mother to look at every single present! I need all of you to send the presents to me first! Or, you guys can send to Chenxia, Huangxia, Luxia, Qingxia, Lanxia, and Zixia as well! We will check first on all the presents first before reporting to the Queen Mother!
Bull Demon King: Nice! My present is ready! Let me send it now!
Diaochan: Mine is ready as well!
Zhao Yun: I really hope that the Queen Mother will like my present!
...…..
Immediately, every single member sent their presents to the goddesses.
"Look at that. This is really competitive!" Chen Xiaobei was startled.
Still, he was confident enough that he would be able to win the 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei sent the Hundred Birds Flock to the Phoenix Sashimi to Goddess Zixia. After that, the Queen Mother said a few words in the group and the whole group became silent again.
Considering that there were tens of thousands of gifts; that was why they needed a longer time to check on all of them. Soon, someone in the group lost their patience.
Bull Demon King: Where is the Queen Mother? I don't hear from her anymore! We are still waiting for the Saturn Peach!
Lu Bu: Tell me about it! Where are all the other deities?
Hou Yi: Cough… I have the latest update here! Goddess Chang'e has started her dance performance at Heavenly Lake! Queen Mother and all the other deities are enjoying her performance. It seems like they are not going to attend to us anytime soon!
Diao Chan: Anyway… How's your relationship between Chang'e?
Hou Yi: Nothing much is going on. She stole the Divine Pill and now she's one of the deities in heaven. And I'm still one of the spirits in the underworld realm! It's pointless for me to hate her.
Xiao Tianquan: Cough… It's better not to mention the past! Let's talk about the present that we prepared for the Queen Mother! What did you guys give her? Do you think you can get at least one Saturn Peach?
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei went and check on his cell phone immediately. As the saying goes, know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles! Getting to know the present that everyone gave to Queen Mother would let him know his chance of getting the 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach!
Bull Demon King: Haha! I think the present that I prepared for the Queen Mother is the most valuable amongst all! I went into the Flaming Mountain and fought with a King Flaming Lizard for ten days and ten nights! After killing it, I took its Flaming Scale!
Xiao Tianquan: Damn! That is a really rare material!
Lu Bu: That's nothing! Chan Chan and I found a Divine Emerald in the underworld! After that, we went and look for Tiangong Xingjun to build a necklace from it. It costs us 99,998 merit points to craft it!
Xiao Tianquan: Hehehe… Lu Bu is really generous! I think that the necklace should be extremely beautiful!
Zhao Yun: Psst! That is not practical at all! The thing that I gave to the Queen Mother is a Spiritual Moonsaber! And the material that used to crat it is the ultra-rare Meteor Luna Crystal! Lastly, the one that craft this saber is Gan Jiang and Mo Ye!
Xiao Tianquan: Damn! I can't believe that you manage to ask Gan Jiang and Mo Ye to craft this saber for you! Not even God Erlang could hire them to craft a weapon for him! I'm pretty sure all the soldiers and generals in heaven will feel extremely jealous that you have this saber with you!
Bull Demon King: Oh right! God Chen. What did you prepare for the Queen Mother? Tell us about it!
Chen Xiaobei: The gift that I gave to her cannot be compared with all the gift that you guys just prepared. It's only a simple dish!
