Chapter 73 - 72: Offering Help

The young girl was shocked by Wei Wuyin’s arrival. When he descended, revealing himself in a black martial outfit, his well-toned body, abnormally handsome countenance, and unfathomable aura was all alluring and attractive. She was merely a young girl still experiencing the blossom of springtime, so her heart went aflutter.

Wei Wuyin ignored her as she swooned on the side. Instead, he talked to Su Mei. "Then, we’ll help. It’s only a small matter." To him, a Godlord, what was a Mortal God? It was like comparing a noble to peasants. His confidence only inflated rightfully so because even while he was at the Fifth Stage of Qi Condensation, he had killed two Mortal Gods.

To the current him, they were truly inconsequential.

Su Mei felt her heart warm as she knew that Wei Wuyin was only willing to help because she wanted to. When she was young, her life was calm and peaceful until an envoy of the Scarlet Solaris Sect arrived in her town. He was merely an outer disciple, but that enough exceeded her horizon.

He arrived like a dashing prince, and snatched her away against her will with strength, forcing her to be a part of his harem. This was her story. It was only when Wei Wuyin arrived that she regained a sense of herself, but her moral compass was biased towards those who snatched young girls.

This was why she couldn’t hold herself back to kill and save this young girl, projecting herself to her. It was unfortunate that she unintentionally foiled her plan, but she wasn’t idiotic enough to fight against a Mortal God.

If Wei Wuyin offered to help, then the matter was settled. In fact, a single wave of his hand could kill Cai Du with ease. She knew he was a legitimate Godlord, one with enough power to force one of the five grand sects to acquiesce.

Wei Wuyin nodded, turning to the young girl and asked, "What’s your name?"

Startled, the young girl was pulled out of her fantasies as she blushed for a moment. She was a stark difference to the cold-hearted girl that stabbed a dagger into a man’s eye and exploded his head without a hint of hesitation. Now, she seemed like a vulnerable girl that was flustered by a crush. This image was too different.

She blushingly said, "Ming Li."

"Ming Li, Su Mei will take Bai Lin with you to save your sister. This can be considered making up for spoiling your plans. It was us who meddled, so we’ll correct it." Wei Wuyin calmly stated.

Su Mei was taken aback for a moment. She glanced at Bai Lin. She didn’t expect Wei Wuyin would give her Bai Lin and tell her to handle this matter. However, when she recalled that fiery beam of golden light that penetrated God Lei’s chest without being able to respond, she nodded.

"What?" Ming Li was confused. But before she could ask any questions, Wei Wuyin retrieved an orb of white mist from his storage ring and sent it towards Ming Li. It started to rapidly morph into a bracelet that wrapped tightly around her right wrist.

Then, Wei Wuyin abruptly vanished. Only his lingering voice remained, "I still have some matters to handle, so I’ll leave this to you."

"..." Ming Li was baffled. He arrived and left just like that. She couldn’t even say more than her name to him. Furthermore, she couldn’t take off this wrist bracelet. Who knew what this was?

In the Cai Du Estate, in a grand hall of the central palace, Cai Du was seated on a throne. He had greying temples with his slicked-back black hair, a wickedly handsome visage, a strong physical body and presence, all while towering nearly six feet and six inches.

Before him was a series of men and women of all sorts of ages. They were respectful and orderly before Cai Du.

A young man, no more than twenty years old, had a striking resemblance to Cai Du and wore a calm, confident smile. He stood at Cai Du’s right and regarded the men and women before him with his nose slightly upwards.

He was Cai Jin, Cai Du’s youngest and most talented son. Despite being nineteen this year, he had already reached the initial-stages of the Elemental Birth Phase, birthing only fire qi. Only when one births all four base elemental qi—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire—can one be considered to truly enter the Elemental Birth Phase.

However, this level of cultivation already exceeded a vast majority of youths, revealing his outstanding natural talent. He was likely on par with Wu Chen, a child of a Godlord.

"Father," Cai Jin spoke, interrupting the previous speaker.

Cai Du didn’t find fault with his interruption as he looked at this prideful gem of his. "Yes, son?"

Cai Jin then proceeded to smile as he talked about the topics on his mind, such as how to handle clan affairs. Their current meeting was an annual clan meeting to determine resources and all sorts of important matters, so he didn’t hesitate to involve himself.

However, when he spoke, the expressions of many within the audience, especially those affected by his suggestions had ugly expressions. However, they didn’t dare reveal it for too long and stifled it behind a passive expression.

"Fine, we’ll do as you say." Cai Du clearly doted on this son of his, giving him free reign over clan decisions. As he was groomed to be the next Estate Master and Clan Lord of the Cai Clan, it was fine to allow him to exert some authority early, especially since he showed initiative.

"Dismissed." Cai Du waved his hand after and everyone, whether willing or not, left.

Cai Jin smiled with pure arrogance, "Thank you, father." He bowed with the utmost respect.

Cai Du waved him off with a smile, "It is yours anyhow. What if I let you enjoy it a few years early? Go, I need to rest."

"Yes, father." He bowed once more before leaving, excitement and confidence written all over his smile. Cai Jin had it all, and in the future, he’ll have more. When he recalled the young beauties waiting for him in his bed, and another beauty about to be delivered to his lap, he couldn’t help but feel even more smug.

Women, wealth, status, power, talent, and backing. Did he truly lack any?

Just as he was about to return to his home, a piercing avian cry resounded in the sky above the estate.

Kree!
