Chapter 159 Chapter 159 An Angel from Beyond

"Do you have any idea why Clark is calling us all at the same time, Old Peng?" Ning Xi asked towards the middle aged man at her side.

She was still not used to looking at the invigorated appearance of Old Peng but nevertheless, the princess was slowly adapting to the current change on one of the closest people in our bored gamer's heart.

Old Peng was even perhaps no different than a family towards the ever enigmatic Clark at the moment.

This was why Princess Ning Xi and her mother Wan Fei had always treated Old Peng with much respect and definitely not a mere slave in the family.

'Old Peng is certainly not that old anymore and i would think that he will only grow younger with time.' Ning Xi mused inside.

She knew for a fact that with such a talented and powerful backer behind the old man like Clark, there was only a bright future ahead for this very faithful servant.

'But i guess the same could be said also for us then.' Ning Xi concluded in silence because she realized that she and her mother were also in the same boat of Old Peng.

"I don't know anything, Princess Ning Xi. I apologize for this old man's inadequacies." Old Peng paused and lent a short bow towards Ning Xi.

The latter also stopped walking and gazed at the middle aged man with exasperation.

"I told you time and time again that you can call me Ning Xi or even Xi'er, Old Peng. You shouldn't be so rigid before me." Ning Xi reminded the old man for the umpteenth time.

"I'm sorry, Princess Ning Xi but i really could not do that. I am but a lowly slave of the Lu Family and I am fully aware of the limitations of my station in life."

And same as always, Old Peng replied with the usual humble words that he had uttered countless times already.

"But you and Clark are almost the same as f..." Ning Xi had wanted to argue but alas, there was a wiser head amongst them that prohibited her from doing exactly what she had in mind.

"Let Old Peng be, Xixi. There are some things in life that you just can't undo with mere words and a simple request."

Wan Fei interrupted her daughter in mid speech as she looked intently on the bowed head of Old Peng.

The good servant slave had never once raised his head in the process until Ning Xi could only accept the truth of Lai Peng's stubborn character.

"I understand, mother." The Princess of Haran nodded and took the first steps towards the long stairways that awaited their advent.

"CREAK!" The double doors opened up to spit the glorious figures of 2 equally beautiful women.

Ning Xi looked pure in her white dress while her mother Wan Fei stood in a flaming sexy fairy dress.

This is why those that could stumble into a rare fortune and inherit the lineage of some fallen expert in the past has a high chance of also changing their fate in accordance to the luck that they have brought upon themselves.

But in this case, all our bored gamer did was pour lots and lots of spirit stones as his investment into the future of his party.

'I believe that with this huge amount of resources, Lai Peng and Ning Xi could most definitely break through the shackles of their destiny.'

Clark nodded as he was thrilled for when the time these two could also help him battle against that wretched Elder God.

"Thank you, master! This slave will not fail your expectations!" Old Peng kneeled in place and he had tears springing from his eyes.

He made a pledge right then and there and knew that he would do what he must or else die trying in the process of achieving them.

"Thank you, Clark." Ning Xi said in a soft voice.

She would have wanted to reject at first but after she found out what was inside the storage ring in her hands, the hesitant Princess of Haran could not help but reconsider in a flash.

There were millions of spirit stones inside!

'This is too much!' Ning Xi exclaimed in silence. She could feel her heartbeat race and there was still a slight reluctance within her.

The Princess especially did not like that this extravagant act seemed to appear like someone was buying her loyalty and love out of her.

Although the feeling did not go away but still, the practical side of Ning Xi overwhelmed any irrational thoughts in her mind.

'As long as i don't spread my legs open if and whenever Clark wants me to, everything is still okay. Perhaps I could repay him in other things other than my body.'

Ning Xi sought for loopholes to counterbalance the greed that she felt.

"This is nothing. If you arrive at the next realm in cultivation, a higher realm than what you have now, that would be more than enough to satisfy me already."

Clark said as he looked fondly at the first members of his party. He was not delusional to think that he could brave to face an Elder God by himself alone.

'As they say two heads are better than one. But... what if i can gather millions, if not trillions, of geniuses on my side. Hehehe.

I don't believe that i can't find someone smart enough to help me conquer this present tribulation that i'm facing. Someday I will find a way.' Clark mused in length.

"You may go now. I'll follow you in a moment." Our bored gamer said to the three. After another short exchange of thanks, Wan Fei, Ning Xi and Old Peng finally left.

"Now all i have to do is wait." Clark closed his eyes and tried to think of only happy days ahead. Alas, this facade of peace was only a short lived dream for our boy protagonist.

"BREAK!" A vast black hole was birthed from out of nowhere. Within moments, a 10 foot goddess could be seen walking out from its empty pits.

"I can smell evil in this world."
