Chapter 34 - I Want to Reserve A Year’s Worth

Translator: Lordbluefire

Bang!

The door to the kitchen was pushed open furiously, making the piece of meat, which Wen Ping had just used his hands to pick up, fall onto the stove.

“My meat.”

‘Asa foodie, he truly couldn’t stand it when someone barged in like catching a cheating spouse when he was eating sneakily.

It was still fine if the person who did so was the cook, but when he turned his head and saw Yang Lele, he immediately grew somewhat unhappy.

Wen Ping coldly said, “You have to pay if the door is damaged!”

Yang Lele chortled and hurriedly apologized. After that, he ignored everything else and rushed toward Wen Ping as he used those large eyes filled with anticipation to gaze at him.

“Sect Leader, I heard that there’s something new coming?”

“Who did you hear this from?”

“Huai Ye told me about it. I feel that this must be the case, or you wouldn’t have gotten her to gather us. Can you reveal anything? Is it better than the gravity field?”

“Are you asking me or showing off your intelligence?”

The two of them bantered, but this made Zhao Qing who was standing by the windows and watching them extremely anxious. She picked up a piece of wood and tossed it over as she shouted, “Lele, can you say something meaningful?”

Yang Lele replied in puzzlement, “What?”

Evidently, how would he know what words were meaningful?

Wen Ping glanced at Yang Lele and Zhao Qing, not continuing to expose the secret. After that, he pointed to the dishes on the stove. “Bring them out and I’ll tell you guys after we finish eating.”

“Alright, let’s eat first, let’s eat first!”

Yang Lele hurriedly ran to the stove to take the plates of food and went around taking the bowls and chopsticks. He only stopped after all the food was out. However, after he sat down, he didn’t touch the food at all.

And even after Uncle Wang and Wen Ping had finished eating a bowl of rice, he hadn’t even picked up a morsel of food to eat.

Wen Ping glanced at Yang Lele at the side and said, “Why are you looking at me like that? Eat!”

“Lhave no appetite.”

“Say it again!” Huai Ye immediately stood up.

Yang Lele hurriedly explained, “I’m not saying that the dishes are unpleasant. Rather, I don’t have any mood to eat now. I just want to know what the new thing is?”

“That’s better.” Huai Ye let out a smile of satisfaction before obediently sitting back down.

‘Wen Ping glanced to the left and right. When his gaze landed on Yun Liao, he really felt like laughing due to Yun Liao’s poor acting skills. “Alright, Elder Yun, you should stop acting. You’ve forgotten to pick up any food with your chopsticks.”

“Hehe, oh.” Yun Liao smiled.

‘Wen Ping continued, “Tll tell you guys then, but before that, I have to explain it clearly first. You guys are disciples of my Immortal Sect. To you guys, I can unselfishly empty my pockets to impart trump cards of the Immortal Sect. But if you guys want to betray the Immortal Sect after learning something,

it will never forgive you.”

As Wen Ping spoke, he pointed to the mountain dog Haha!

After being pointed to, Haha stood up and barked twice angrily.

Yang Lele glanced at Haha and bore the impulse to laugh. He then spoke, “Sect Leader, don’t keep us in suspense any longer. We are not fools, why would we do things that would betray the sect?”

‘Wen Ping patted Haha on its head and coldly spoke, “I just want you guys to remember my words. When you guys really have thoughts of betrayals, I won’t stop Haha.”

Yang Lele thought Wen Ping was joking so he casually responded.

“Don’t worry. If I, Yang Lele, did so, Sect Leader could just release the dog and get it to bite me.”

But the others didn’t treat Wen Ping’s statement as a joke.

Their gazes toward Haha were clearly different.

As demonic creatures, the fat snake and ling fish had special perceptions. Yun Liao who was at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement also had sharp senses.

They could see that the Haha today was completely different.

Although its appearance was the same as before, a large yellow-furred dog that loved to stick its tongue out and lie on the ground, its demeanor that was revealed by its gaze was different. It was like there were balls of flames in its eyes that caused them to actually feel the heat in their minds.

After the amount of time it took for an incense stick to finish burning.

‘Wen Ping stood outside the dormitory area and calmly sat by the side of the pond, staring at the fish within. He would occasionally stretch his head forward to look.

Yun Liao stood beside him and asked, “Sect leader, arterial arts are so precious, are you really going to impart this casually?”

“Could it be that I would lie to all of you?”

“No. In that case, I’m going to reserve my time for 100 days. There’s 5,000 gold here, and I’ll be staying here from now on, not going anywhere else.”

Wen Ping smiled and took the banknote from Yun Liao’s hands.

‘As they were walking to the dormitory area, Yun Liao’s mind flashed with the scene when his father had brought him to an auction in the past.

‘An old man carried a box made of pure gold with an inferior-grade yellow-tier arterial art within. The people who came that day were elders from the various large clans, and there were also two other major powers: the Xingyue City Lord Manor and the Huayue Sect.

Over hundreds of people were shouting.

“10,000 gold!”

“20,000 gold!”

“I’m paying 50,000 gold!”

“I, Yang Bilie, will pay 80,000 gold. I’m getting this arterial art for sure! For whoever dares to snatch my chance away, don’t blame me for flipping out.”

Ultimately, no one could pay the price of 150,000 gold to purchase it immediately, so Yang Bilie managed to obtain it in a domineering fashion.

However, it was also because of it that he died.

Three days later, the Yang Clan was destroyed. It was rumored that over half of the powers in Xingyue City had acted and sent forces to the Yang Clan Residence. On that day, the number of perished experts at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement was as much as four.

But at this moment, a voice woke Yun Liao up from his memories.

“Sect leader, this is the payment for me and Zhao Qing. We will both take 10 days first.”

Yang Lele passed over a banknote of 1,000 gold coins and immediately rushed into the dormitory area. A moment later, he exclaimed in a loud voice!

“There’s the sound of a dragon roar in my ear.”

“Zhao Qing, it is speaking to me. It wants to teach me its divine ability!”

At this moment, Zhao Qing stood beside the pond and gazed at the water below. She was pondering how deep the waters were.

All of a sudden, a dragon roar echoed out in her mind.

The roar reverberated in her head and kept echoing relentlessly, causing her entire body to shiver.

Ling fish were no doubt the royal race of the waters, but they were mere vassals to the dragon race and deeply knew how terrifying dragons were. Although she knew that there were no dragons in the vicinity, she was still frightened silly by the dragon might. As a result, her legs grew soft and she wasn’t

sure if she could still stand up.

“Lele, come over and support me!”

“What’s the matter with you?”

“Nothing, I’m just too happy. This arterial art is actually derived from a divine ability of the dragon race.”

“Lalso didn’t expect this. After we enter the Mystic Realm, a single shout from us will cause rivers and seas to churn wildly!”

Huai Ye, who was standing at the side, finally regained her senses. She gulped down the mouthful of saliva that had unknowingly accumulated in her mouth and wiped away the cold sweat on her face. The joy in her heart was truly tough to describe.

She had been to so many places and had never found a place that made her sincerely want to stay like this place.

So what if a greater demon at the Mystic Realm wanted to accept her as a disciple? Could she have the opportunity to learn an arterial art?

Most probably, the greater demons themselves had only recently come in contact with such arts.

Huai Ye immediately felt very sorrowful as she mumbled under her breath, “Foster father, I’m sorry. In the future, you can only roam the world alone. Little Ye cannot accompany you anymore.”

After that, she took out a stack of banknotes from her robes and waved it to Wen Ping, calling out.. “Sect leader, I want to reserve a year’s worth!”
