Chapter 757 - Farm Hut

Jin Rou knew where to go. Han Li had been here for many times in the past thus he knew the place like the back of his hand.

The Farm Hut was the most restricted place in the farm. No one, even the highest ranking nobles and special people had the right to enter the hut. Not following this would result to death without further ado.

Furthermore, the Farm Hut was considered a sacred place in the Serenity Farm. It was rumored to have the secrets of how the farm was created. Nevertheless, no one dared to venture inside since the consequences were too heavy to carry.

Jin Rou was walking an entire piece of farm filled with golden flowers. He was already inside the Farm Hut, thus it was natural that the plants here were different than those outside. The air here was lighter compared to the outside.

Anyone would want to stay here forever. It was an ideal place to live for peace and die of old age.

Han Li had created this land not for this purpose, though. It was for the mortal people to have a safe place to live to until they die. It was known that morals only have less than a hundred years to live, so he wanted their short lives to be worth of remembering when they die.

It was also the reason why he named it Serenity Farm.

Jin Rou was feeling the passing breeze and atmosphere of this place when suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. Han Li was very familiar with this person.

Wearing a farmer's clothing, he looked like a middle aged man with growing white beard. He was holding a farm shovel while looking at Jin Rou with menacing eyes.

"If glares could kill, I would have killed you already for a thousand times." The farmer said with a cold tone.

It felt like it was a reunion of old enemies.

Jin Rou chuckled and said, "That's true. But, you know it's impossible to kill me. Not even now that I came back alive from that place."

"I wished you just died there." The farmer snorted.

"Come one, can you just pity me for once? That place is treacherous and hell. If it's possible, I don't want to return to that place and just live here peacefully." Jin Rou said as he said.

"You aren't welcome here." The farmer instantly rejected the suggestion. Although he knew that Han Li was bluffing, he didn't give any chance to make it real, "You'll poison the plants here with your negative energy and I cannot let it happen."

"Ah, how cruel. Who would have thought that a top existence slayer-level Imperial Lord is now just busy farming? Those asuras will be very disappointed if they know." Jin Rou smirked, trying to provoke the farmer.

But what Jin Rou said was all true. This farmer in front of him was one of the slayers that even asuras were wary of.

"Look who's talking. Who was the idiot who make me work for this farm?" The farmer sneered, "If it weren't for you, those asuras wouldn't be standing arrogantly right now."

In this world, it was clear as day that Dao Monarchs were stronger than Imperial Lords. However, there were exceptions. They were called Monarch Slayers. An Imperial Lord could only be called like this when they successfully killed a monarch without being helped by anyone.

Only a few had the right to be called slayers in the Nine Heavens. And this farmer here, was one of those very few slayers who stood at the top of the rankings.

"That's true." Jin Rou smiled wryly. With this farmer's presence in the Nine Heavens, only a few would dare to venture out and cause troubles. Now that the Nine Heavens was having difficulty in producing another monarch, it was a perfect stage for the old Imperial Lords, "But this is a good thing for you now that you have stopped killing. You are more suited to be a farmer so remain that way until you die."

The farmer was expressing ill emotions against Han Li, but Jin Rou knew that of all people out there, when he asked for help, this guy would be one of the first to heed his call.

It was the same in the past. When Han Li wasn't that strong to challenge the Heavens, it was the farmer who stood by his side during his life and death battles. Never did the farmer deserted him when they were in danger. Of course, the farmer got stronger and grew in this span of time so the two benefitted greatly.

The farmer snorted and said, "I know that you aren't here to visit me, are you? Just cut to the chase. I will be watering my plants after this."

"You really want to shoo me away that much?" Jin Rou expressed sadness.

"Save your bullshit." The farmer rolled his eyes, "Judging by the treasures you saved here in the hut, you must be thinking of raiding Glory Sky and a helping item when you start the Ninth Challenge."

"You're still smart as ever." Jin Rou nodded, "That's right, I need the items to clear the Glory Sky and something to assist me during the Ninth Challenge."

"Why do you want to clear the Glory Sky? Did Fog forced you to?" The farmer asked but he immediately denied this notion, "That's impossible. Who would have the power to force you into doing anything?"

"I just want to help Little Fog. You see, he has been dreaming in clearing Glory Sky for ages for that item, no? I'm a good person, so I shall help him." Jin Rou smiled.

"If you are good, all of us are saints then." The farmer sneered again, looking at Jin Rou with disdain. Anyone who knew Han Li well would never agree that he's a good person. If there's someone terrifying enough to bring terror in all ages, that'd be Han Li himself.

"You are degrading a good old friend now.. How worse can you be?" Jin Rou acted wronged as if he was a child who clearly did nothing but play.
