Chapter 763: I Am Now a Gong Farmer

It was a good bonding session for them. Gradually, Su Chen began to open up to them. He gave them the pared-down version of his story, that he was betrayed by a girl, had his dictator bloodline forcibly removed, and left to die in the second dimension.
Li Nianfan pitied him. ‘No wonder he was so touched by my gesture. He’s been through so much. Poor him. The cultivating realm of immortals sure is dangerous. Now that I think about it, the three of them who are doing hard labor have all gone through a lot of hardships in their lives. ‘
Jiang Liu was chased by people who wanted to kill him. He barely escaped, and when he got her, he stayed to be his woodcutter. The Elite King was driven to insanity by his enemy and stayed at the foot of the mountain to be his gong farmer. As for Su Chen… Well, they all had their own stories.
“You’ll need some tools for your work now that you’ve decided to become a gong farmer. Here’s a manure stick and manure bucket for you,” said Li Nianfan.
“Thank you, Lord Saint!” said Su Chen happily.
The manure stick was an ordinary-looking wooden stick. However, Su Chen could feel an overpowering aura coming from it as if it could stir up a storm in the sky at any time. The manure bucket was, of course, extraordinary as well. All the treasures he had as a young master could not even compare to these two tools. It was like comparing heaven and earth.
‘Oh my god! These treasures are so awesome! Master Elite King was right! Working for the expert is a thousand times better than being a saint in a sect! I’m proud to be a gong farmer!’
After a while, they thanked Li Nianfan for hosting them and got up to leave.
Nanan suddenly put up her hand and said excitedly, “Brother Li, Brother Li! Dragin and I want to go out to play.”
They wanted to see all the changes happening in the seven dimensions with their own eyes. This way, they could familiarize themselves with the changes and make a report about it.
“You girls just can’t sit still, huh? You may go but please, keep a low profile and be careful. Understand?” said Li Nianfan with a smile.
“Hurray! You’re the best. Don’t worry, Brother Li, we’re strong! We won’t let anyone bully us,” said Nanan.
“Brother Li, can I bring the Milk Cow with us, too? I pity it because it has never seen the outside world,” said Dragin.
The Milk Cow had been wanting to go out for the longest time, which was understandable since it was at the age of being curious about the world.
‘Bring the Milk Cow out? Well, it has been cooped up in the backyard with limited space all this while. A walk will do it some good. Maybe this will make its milk healthier. I should’ve thought of this,’ thought Li Nianfan.
He nodded and said, “You may but remember, safety first!”
Little Fox’s eyes lit up. She hugged Li Nianfan’s arm and said coquettishly, “Brother Li, I wanna go out, too!”
Li Nianfan’s body turned into jelly when he felt the softness of her chest. “Let go! Behave yourself.”
“Pretty please, Brother Li,” said Little Fox, not letting go.
“I forbid it! You have to take care of the backyard while Dragin and Nanan are out. Besides, it’s safer to wait until your cultivation’s higher,” said Daji sternly.
“Okay then…” Little Fox’s head drooped down pitifully, surrendering to Daji’s authority.
“There, there. There’ll be lots of chances for you to go out in the future,” comforted Li Nianfan with a smile. He thought it was best for Little Fox to stay at home because of her beauty and innocence, both of which could attract the wrong kinds of people.
Dragin, Nanan, and the Milk Cow happily rushed out of the door and made their way down to the foot of the mountain with the Elite King, Jiang Liu, and Su Chen.
Su Chen prostrated himself to the Elite King and said, “I thank you, Master Elite King, for taking me in, teaching me the art of being a gong farmer, and introducing me to the expert. Now that my cultivation has been restored, I’d like to ask for your permission to go back so I can take my revenge. If I succeed, I’ll come back and repay you and the expert for all that you’ve done for me.”
He was about to kowtow but was stopped by the Elite King. “That’ll do. You have my permission. As the saying goes, an eye for an eye. Don’t dally anymore and go now. I’ll be waiting here for you to come back.”
“Thank you, master!” Su Chen was filled with gratitude. He was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at the manure bucket and manure stick and said, “These treasures are too precious to be left to gather dust. Please grant me the wish of working together once more with you before leaving.”
In the Origins Realm, Dragin and Nanan were sitting on top of a Milk Cow and looking around happily. The Milk Cow was moo-ing with excitement, galloping here and there. Beside them was the simply dressed Su Chen with a manure bucket and manure stick in his hands.
It would take some time for the second dimension to fully recover, but this did not stop them from going there and crossing into the Origins Realm. With Su Chen leading the way, they soon reached the Promise Star in the Northern Star Region.
Dragin raised her hand and Origins aura immediately encircled it. “Wow, the cultivating environment here is so awesome! It’s filled with Origins. The kids born here must all be geniuses.”
Nanan nodded and said, “Yeah! We’re lucky to have Brother Li. It’s because of the good food he makes for us every day that we’re not far behind from the people here in terms of talent.”
Su Chen’s mouth twitched. “Goddesses, you’re both being very humble.”
‘Wow, are they fishing for compliments or are they really being serious? Don’t they know that the life they have is way better than anyone here? Heck, even a pig there is treated better than anywhere else. Not to mention your talents are way above average…’ thought Su Chen. Although he did not know the cultivation level of Dragin and Nanan, he could somewhat guess that they were incredibly strong based on the fact that their master was the expert.
“By the way, Brother Su Chen, how do you plan to get your revenge?” asked Nanan curiously.
“A little further and we’ll reach the Sky Deserted City. It belongs to the jurisdiction of the Su family. I plan to first gather intel there,” answered Su Chen.
They continued chatting along the journey. From time to time, a few monks would pass by. There was not much difference between here and the seven dimensions at all.
Soon, the Sky Deserted City poked its head out from the horizon. The city was just like its name—relatively desolate. It was the outermost city belonging to the Su family, and it was close to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain where demons often caused chaos. It could be said that it was the worst city in every aspect.
Nanan and the others increased their speed, but before they were even in the city, they heard a shocked voice coming from the battlement.
“Young Master?!” A guard flew down immediately to take a good look at Su Chen. “It’s really you, Young Master!”
“What? The Young Master has come back?”
“The Young Master’s finally back after three years!”
“Hahaha! I knew he’d come back!”
“Quick, go report this to Lord Bao Da!”
Six guards flew down from the battlement and surrounded Su Chen excitedly.
Su Chen looked at them in surprise and then, “You were all my guards from before!”
“Yes, Young Master. I used to guard your gate.”
“I was in charge of guarding Young Master’s manor.”
“We were sent here after Su Ming became the new Young Master.”
“They should give the position back to you now that you’re back, Young Master!”
Everyone was overcome with emotions as they clamored around him.
Su Chen curled his hands into tight fists and his face darkened when he heard Su Ming’s name. “That Su Ming not only stole my dictator bloodline but also my rightful position as the Young Master!”
“Young Master! Young Master!” shouted a figure who dashed madly to Su Chen. He looked at Su Chen with tears in his eyes before kneeling on the ground. “Welcome back, Young Master!”
Su Chen quickly pulled him up and said excitedly, “Bao Da, you and I grew up together and should know by now that there’s no need for you to kneel before me.”
“Young Master, it was all my fault! I shouldn’t have left your side three years ago,” said Bao Da who was filled with immense guilt.
“All water under the bridge,” said Su Chen with a wave of his hand. Then, in a serious tone, he said, “Come, let me introduce you to Goddess Nanan, Goddess Dragin, and Senior Milk Cow. Please, show your respect to them”
‘Two little girls and a cow?’ Bao Da and the others were taken aback. However, seeing how serious Su Chen was, they quickly quelled their confusion and bowed respectfully toward them.
“Young Master, where have you been all these years? Did someone try to kill you?” asked Bao Da.
“Yes, Su Ming took away my dictator bloodline,” said Su Chen with a sigh.
“What?!”
“He took away your dictator bloodline?”
“No wonder he suddenly became so strong!”
“This is bad. Very bad.”
Everyone’s expressions changed. They thought they would be able to overturn the situation now that Su Chen was back, but it seemed like that was not ever going to happen.
“That b*tch Yanran and that scum Su Ming! How could they betray Young Master like that!” said Bao Dao vehemently. Then, he looked at Su Chen with concern in his eyes and said, “Young Master, you must’ve been through a lot over the last three years.”
“It was indeed insufferable in the beginning but it got better in the end. In fact, I’d say that the immense great fortune I got in the end made everything worth it,” said Su Chen proudly.
“What is it?” asked Bao Dao, happy for him.
“I’m now a gong farmer!” said Su Chen.
‘What? Gong farmer?’ Bao Da was struck dumb, as were the rest of the guards and some of the onlookers. They could not believe what they were hearing and thought they were under some sort of spell. It was then they noticed the stinky odor coming from Su Chen.
Bao Da scrunched up his nose and said, “Young… Young Master, can you say that again?”
“What’s with the expression? Dare you look down on a gong farmer?” Su Chen arched his brow and raised both of his hands. “You see this? This manure stick and manure bucket are all treasures of immeasurable value. I’ve been reborn and I’m not the me that I was before.”
The more Su Chen bragged about himself, the graver the expressions on everyone’s faces became. Bao Da and the guards exchanged glances and shook their heads, thinking that Su Chen had finally snapped after having his dictator bloodline and position stolen from him.
“Young Master….” sobbed the more sensitive souls amongst the guard. They could not accept that the once talented, brilliant, and glorious Su Chen had become a lunatic who thought being a gong farmer was the greatest profession in the world.
“Why are you all crying? You think this is beneath me? These two Goddesses and Senior Milk Cow can testify for me!” shouted Su Chen, panicking.
The pity in Bao Da’s eyes intensified after hearing that. ‘It’s already bad enough that he’s a gong farmer. How could he call two little girls ‘Goddesses’ and a milk cow ‘Senior’? Looks like his neurosis is worse than we thought. What did he go through in the past three years to become like this?’
Red-eyed, Bao Da took a deep breath in a bid to control his emotions. “Young Master, I’m so sorry for all that you’ve gone through in the last three years.”
Su Chen glanced sideways at him and asked, “You don’t believe me, too?”
“Of course, I believe you!” said Bao Da while nodding his head vigorously. “I was destitute and homeless when I was young and it was Young Master who saved me! Since then, I swore to repay Young Master with my life, so I believe whatever Young Master says!”
He paused before continuing, “It mustn’t have been an easy journey back. Let’s go home and rest. Please, come with us as well… Goddesses and… Senior Milk Cow.”
Immediately, Bao Da led them inside the city. The other guards shook their heads while looking at Su Chen’s retreating figure.
“No one would ever guess the once glorious Young Master would end up like this. You just never know.”
“I thought we could finally leave this hell-hole now that he’s back but it seems like I was wrong.”
“That’s enough. Young Master will always be our master. We’re all indebted to him and we shouldn’t talk behind his back.”
“You’re right. Let’s all go back to work.”
“Recently, there’s been a lot of trouble in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, so we should remain alert and protect Young Master!”
