Chapter 731 Scheming Against The Titan.
?Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan stood behind Shi Lang in awe. They watched him sit across an Immortal Sovereign in the garden upon arrival. Zither Soul took out two earthen cups and a jar of wine from her space ring.
Shi Lang opened the jar and poured some liquor into the cups for both of them. He sniffed and exclaimed, "What is this nostalgic scent?"
Fairy Moon Jade smiled and said, "Home Brew."
Shi Lang raised his head to look at her and said, "Someone finally learned to share the good stuff."
The lady chuckled and did not mind. Because of this wine, the two became sworn siblings in the past. Shi Lang tasted this wine by chance after robbing it of a person of a reputation sect. He searched for the source and found Moon Jade to be the person who came up with this recipe. In the coming decade, he tried stealing the recipe ten times.
Moon Jade was tired because Shi Lang was such a menace. Finally, she decided to give up. Moon Jade owned a place in the imperial capital called Crescent Moon Bar. This brew was the life source of that bar. So, she sent out a public invitation for the scavenger king.
Shi Lang knew many people would attack him if he went there. Yet for the sake of this wine, he still arrived and shocked Moon Jade. She asked him why he was after the recipe for this wine. The rogue cultivator replied simply that he loved the wine, and it helped him in cultivation.
The lady then proposed giving him ten jars from every batch she brews, but she would have to swear not to divulge the recipe. Shi Lang gave in without any resistance. He proposed that they both take an oath not to harm each other.
Moon Jade thought about it and agreed; they dealt more with each other over time, and Shi Lang covered for her many times. Moon Jade once asked him, "Do you never have the intention to harm me and take away the fortune I have accumulated?"
Shi Lang drank his wine and said, "I may be a scavenger, but I am not without morals, sister."
Recalling that moment, Moon Jade raised her cup and said, "To the bond strengthened with time."
Shi Lang was dazed, and then, with a smile, he raised the cup against her as he said, "To the bond that is chosen above all."
The cups collided with each other. They chugged it down, and the Terran asked, "Can you tell me what you wanted to discuss so urgently?"
Moon Jade had a faint blush and looked even more beautiful. Bo Qingtan was in a daze, and even Yun Xue was charmed. However, Shi Lang snapped his fingers, and they both woke up from their daze. The Terran said, "You two, take control of your emotions and do not look her in the eyes."
Moon Jade sighed and said, "I still cannot control the charm, can I?"
Shi Lang waved his hand in a lax manner and said, "You need not worry. They are just kids. Now get to the important business."
Yun Xue said, "What are you so worried about? Will this not mean they will be learning from you?"
Moon Jade shook her head, "Lang, you are forgetting to mention something, are you not?"
The Terran sighed and looked at the sky as he said, "They will be disabling your cultivation if you lose."
Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan reacted in unison, "What the hell!!!"
The Terran shrugged and said, "Fine, do not go."
He pulled up his sleeve and used his spiritual communicator. Bo Qingtan inched closer to him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Shi Lang replied, "Sending out the people from Asura Hall to swing by that place."
Bo Qingtan asked, "You are okay with them being disabled?"
Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and said coldly, "What do you mean? I protect my own, but the people in Asura Hall are not weak. They will not give up on a task before even trying. Also, there are methods to protect or even regenerate cultivation for someone in adept time."
Bo Qingtan clenched his fist and asked, "What do you mean? You speak of it as if this thing is child's play. Do you know how many heavenly natural treasures are needed for this?"
Shi Lang sighed and said, "I am not forcing them. The task is voluntary. If none of them goes to Titan Sect, I will go myself."
His words sounded laid back, but the people knew he was serious. If any of his people suffered in the Titan Sect, Shi Lang would destroy that sect. He was not talking big but stating facts. One of the few things Bo Qingtan learned from Shi Lang was that to bring down a big enemy, and one did not need to be strong; wisdom was also a lethal weapon.
He took a few minutes and said, "Fine, I will go. Give me the location."
Fairy Moon Jade was surprised and asked, "You should think carefully."
Bo Qingtan nodded and said, "Senior, I have thought carefully about it. Do not worry, and I am a sword cultivator. I cannot give into the fear of death. Otherwise, I should not have set out on the sword path either."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, well said. Get going then."
The people found his reaction odd, and they looked at him. Fairy Moon Jade lunged and snatched the wine jar from him. She rebuked him, "You greedy man, when will you learn to stop drinking? Do you wish to explode? Go work it up."
Shi Lang nodded in a daze and he stood up wobblingly. He moved some distance away from the table and began to perform his boxing and kicking routine. Yun Xue asked, "What happened? His face is flushed."
Fairy Moon Jade said, "He is high on spirit wine, he needs to work it up. The daze will allow him better protection from distraction and maybe he might gain enlightenment."
