Chapter 901: Can You Be Any More Shameless?
Not only Drunken Cat Yu Jie, but even Lord Black Flame, who had been in hiding for a few thousand years, was rather shocked.
The Di Gui Yin Flame disappeared like fireworks.
Without any noise or movement.
Wasn’t it said that there was no existence that could break the tranquility of Di Gui Yin Flame in the world? How could this be?
Most importantly, Lord Black Flame looked up to the dome and found that the Vulcan Soul Refining Grass, which he had been waiting for thousands of years to mature, had disappeared… Suddenly there was an urge to hit the wall with his head as he basked in his own tears. What kind of hard life is this! In the past, he was besieged and crippled to the point where his body could not be retained and could only be transformed into an elemental body— yet, he could ignore that. But it was so hard for him to find a magical herb that unexpectedly appeared in the world. Lord Black Flame thought that his time had finally come and he could become a winner in life. So, he anticipated things and had expectations for thousands of years. As a result, in the last month of the herb’s maturity, a pair of human lovers came out of nowhere and stole it, leaving his thousands of years of work destroyed and tattered, utterly hopeless.
Lord Black Flame suddenly felt that his heart was a hundred times more distressed than when he had witnessed the Central Palace Master take away his first love who was also his childhood sweetheart that year.
With all his strength, it took him thousands of years to dig up all the Di Yan Ores that were born in the Black Flame Canyon and lay them around the Vulcan Soul Refining Grass to increase the energy for its growth; it was also a life-threatening action as he could have instigated an eruption by the Di Gui Yin Flame at any time.
However, in the final month, it was all taken away from under his nose.
He was filled with utter regret!
Just like his first love of that very year, if he knew that she would be taken away by the goddamned Central Palace Master, then he would have impregnated her to become the mother of his child; or, he should have disfigured her to make her look unpleasing to the eye. That way, he could have still had her by his side at the very least.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
Lord Black Flame was so angry that he almost exploded.
However, just when he was about to attaweilck Yue Yang, he suddenly saw this young man step forward. He then stated a few things that reduced Lord Black Flame into a state of disbelief, “Are you the master here? How could you leave your guarding post when the herb was almost maturing? Aren’t you too irresponsible as a master of the herb? Although this kind of Soul Refining Herb only had a good-looking appearance and was no treasure, it is still wrong for you to do so. If it wasn’t for me who noticed this, what would you have done if someone else came in to steal it? I’m helping you harvest it out of pure goodwill and you’re trying to kill me; do you feel no shame at all?”
Hearing Yue Yang’s arrow-like criticism, Drunken Cat Yu Jie was stunned.
Lord Black Flame opened his mouth so wide that it was wide enough to fit a Heaven Realm Golden Toad.
It wasn’t until Yue Yang finished cursing and stopped halfway to take a breather and drink some water that Lord Black Flame broke out from his dream-like stage. He suppressed his excitement and asked with a little bit of disbelief and tentativeness, “You are talking about Soul Fixing Herb?”
Could it be that this kid regarded the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb as a Soul Fixing Herb? If so, his judgement is way too far-fetched, isn’t it?
But it seems to be a good thing… Lord Black Flame’s heart was already desperate as he quickly pulsed a flow of heat that made his heart and liver tremble. Using brute force was definitely out of the option; should this brat accidentally destroy the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb, he wouldn’t be able to get it back even if he cried to death. But if schemes could make him return the treasure, he might very well become the winner in life!
Dear God, could this be the legendary fate of those who never gave up?
If he could truly deceive Yue Yang into returning the Vulcan Soul Refining Grass, he might be able to break through the 6th or 7th Level of the Heaven Rank. Heck, he might even be able to achieve the stats of the 8th Level Heaven Rank because that was a Divine Product Vulcan Soul Refining Grass!
With the 8th Level Heaven Rank, not just this scum and that bastard Lei Qie, but even that Palace Master Jiao Tu who should have died long ago could be eliminated within seconds. At that time, he would take back all the women from Jiao Tu’s hands. He would rape all of his daughters and women before killing them— including the childhood sweetheart of his that didn’t even bother to shed a few fake tears when she was taken away by the Palace Master Jiao Tu.
I didn’t know she was a bitch before, how regretful!
“Ahem, thank you very much for your timely harvesting. Although it is not a very important object, it was my ancestors who planted it. It was a rather sentimental object towards our family, so much so that my grandfather, my father and I have been guarding this silently for thousands of years. Because a member of an enemy family came knocking on my door, I had no choice but to leave. Who would have thought that you, dear little brother, came to help me harvest the Soul Fixing Herb. For that I am forever grateful,” Lord Black Flame feigned excitement, but also forcibly resisted the feeling of wanting to throw up and made up a story about his family ancestors guarding the precious treasure for generations. He started off saying that he had to annihilate every single one of his siblings who killed his father and grandfather— all in the name of being the ‘evil son’! Naturally, all those stories were made up of utter nonsense. But even if he was going to make up a story, his own name couldn’t be tarnished.
“See? I knew it. Placing such an unimportant object in such a grand area definitely wouldn’t make any sense,” Yue Yang expressed that he was full of himself, carrying an aura of complacency.
“Yes, yes, yes, it is very meaningful. It is something that triggers me to miss my grandfather and father. Whenever I see it, I can’t help but think of their indoctrination when I was a child,” Lord Black Flame’s face expressed the look of ‘I am a dutiful son by nature’.
“The Soul Fixing Herb is useless to me, I can return it to you!” Yue Yang was very generous.
“Ahem!” Drunken Cat Yu Jie almost blurted out and said that it was impossible. She had never heard of any treasure that could be returned from his grasp. However, with Lord Black Flame present, she thought that there was something amiss so she forcibly held back and sighed secretly in her heart. Wu Xia would be better at this; I can’t cooperate with him at all! Thankfully, she knew that even without her cooperation, he would have no trouble handling this big oaf!
“As for this… In fact, if the little brother can return the Soul Fixing Herb, this lord will definitely reward you generously. After all, there is no other treasure in the world that can replace my familial affection!” If it weren’t for the fact that he was stuck in an elemental body, he would have even gone as far as to shed a few tears.
“Actually, I don’t really want anything from you in exchange for my kindness. My mother taught me to learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds since I was a child; do you think that the reputation of being ‘the loveliest child’ in the Heaven Realm was all for nothing? Of course, I won’t refuse if you really want to— it’s your intention after all. In fact, I don’t want anything. For example, I don’t want these Black Flame crystals at all. Kitty and I are not greedy people; we wouldn’t want to have just half of these, let alone all of them. So if you truly insist on giving me half of these Black Flame crystals,I won’t agree to it because that’s too much, I’m sorry…” Student Yue Yang took on the persona of a greedy but reputable younger brother who ventured out for the first time.
“I agree, what would be more important than family affection! Di- ahem, I mean, these Black Flame crystals are good, but they are not as good as family love that supports my beliefs. I agree to give you half of the Black Flame crystals,” Lord Black Flame almost cried again.
What a stupid family disciple!
God knows how this kid broke in. With his naivety and stupidity, it was a miracle that he could even survive in the Heaven Realm!
Maybe it’s because of the protection of his girlfriend and escort. To have this kind of incorrigible family disciple appearing in front of her must be a real turning point in life… Should it be someone else, that person would have given up with this kid long ago. Besides, what was there to dig? Even with this entire canyon of the Di Yan Ore, they would not be comparable to a leaf of the Vulcan Soul Refining Grass. Forget it, if there were no stupid idiots in the world, then there would be no way to set off the wisdom of intelligent!
Seeing Lord Black Flame agreeing to it, student Yue Yang happily clapped his hands. Then, he turned his head and motioned to Drunken Cat Yu Jie, “Kitty, see what I said? He will definite;y agree, so I think my words kind of made sense. Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and mine them! With so many Black Flame crystals, we can refine a pair of flame iron saddles for Simba!”
Drunken Cat Yu Jie didn’t dare to speak now, for fear that she would reveal something when she spoke.
So, she quickly turned around.
She didn’t even bother to change her mining tools and directly raised the Golden Dragon Slaying Spear, pointing it at the Di Yan stone stalactites that were hanging upside down from the ceiling of the canyon.
Lord could tell that she was an amateur miner through her movements. A strange thought formed in his head— she just immediately left him behind! What a stupid paire of lovers!
Once the kid returns the Vulcan Soul Refining Grass, I am going to skin him alive and break his bones, frying them before going through another round of deep-frying. As for the female guard who was pretty good and dared to fight but had little travel experience, hehe… “Come on, continue. Dig, we can’t ask for more, half is enough.” Student Yue Yang appeared to be the type of person that was spoon-fed and could order others to do his work for him— a complete Young Master of the most flamboyant nature to the point where he could have just written the words, ”I haven’t quit breastfeeding’ on his face.
He didn’t mention the Soul Fixing Herb anymore and pestered Drunken Cat Yu Jie to hurry up and mine. Lord Black Flame believed that he must be a young master since there was still a cleverly retained self-righteousness. Lord Black Flame was finally convinced that this kid would really return the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb to him because he found that the other party seemed a little bit nervous. His right hand wanted to take out the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb from the storage ring several times, but the kid seemed to be worried about my Lord Black Flame not keeping his promise. Hence, he desperately asked the female guard to hurry up and mine the place, “I’ll say, little brother, things don’t have to be so hard. After thousands of years of waiting, I have accumulated quite a sum of the Di-ahem, the Black Flame Crystals. In order to thank you for your kindness, I decided not only to give you my collection, but also a very rare White Tiger Pearl that is rarely ever seen in the Heaven Realm. Although its rank is not very high, it will definitely be helpful to your lion beast Simba. You see, this is a gem that is available only in the lower realm…” Lord Black Flame thought it was better to take a not-so-favoured treasure. In his mind, he thought that if Yue Yang was such a hot-shot of a Young Master, he probably found items in the Lower Heaven Realm as rare objects.
“It’s so beautiful!” Yue Yang’s eyes turned round when he saw White Tiger Pearl, salivating more than a kid who saw candy.
“Stop digging, it’s too much trouble. In addition to this pile of Black Flame crystals and this White Tiger Pearl, I will also tell you of a ‘Land of Hidden Treasures’. There were definitely treasures in there, but it is very dangerous. Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to explore. You don’t have to be embarrassed; you are my little brother now, after all!” Lord Black Flame saw Yue Yang put on a worried and reluctant expression.
Sigh, what a trouble it is to deal with kids of a noble birth. He is greedy and he cares about his reputation so badly that even if I give him something, he still wants to protect his good namesake.
“I feel ashamed of it, but since you begged so hard and sincerely, I have no other choice but to agree,” Yue Yang called Drunken Cat Yu Jie to stop mining.
“…” Lord Black Flame wished to choke this kid to death immediately.
“I won’t go to the Land of Hidden Treasures. Mother said that I can’t go to places that are too dangerous, but it’s okay to listen to the secrets,” Student Yue Yang implied that he was definitely a good boy who listened to his mother.
Lord Black Flame despised this guy from the bottom of his heart.
If I tell him the location, I think this brat is going to die right away.
Although Lord Black Flame was sure that he would torture this kid alive in a while, this did not prevent him from informing him of a hidden treasure in the Central Palace. This was the greatest information he had obtained in order to seek revenge on the Central Palace Master Jiao Tu.
Yue Yang nodded straight and smiled openly.
After receiving the White Tiger Pearl and a large amount of ores, he really pulled out the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb and held it casually in his hand.
Lord Black Flame almost wanted to die out of annoyance. Holding it so carelessly like that, if it weren’t for the fact that he was worried about crumbling the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb, the kid would have died straight away.
In order to stabilize this kid, Lord Black Flame immediately apologized to Drunken Cat Yu Jie and praised her super spear skills. He boasted that the Lion King Simba also did his duty and took out another piece of treasure that was supposed to be given to his first love. The ‘Duo Luo Pearl Necklace’ had the effect of nourishing the face and keeping people youthful. It was a Quasi-Holy Treasure, generously given to Drunken cat Yu Jie as a sign of apology.
Naturally, she didn’t accept it.
Yue Yang unceremoniously reached out and took it. Before he was about to pass the Vulcan Soul Refining Grass in his hand to Lord Black Flame, he suddenly asked, “Was the fire just now the Scarlet Lotus Fire? Why did it disappear all of a sudden?”
“Scarlet Lotus Fire?” Lord Black Flame felt that he might as well be blind, but with the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb in front of him, he had to ignore all of his frustration and reply to Yue Yang’s stupid question, “That’s right, you’re too accurate on that. As for how it disappears, I’m not too sure how it works either. Perhaps it’s due to my grandfather and my father’s soul that wanted to protect our family treasure. All this- all this was for the sake of the Soul Fixing Herb! Everytime I mention them, I can’t control my tears from flowing out”
“Okay, since you are so pitiful, I will give you this Soul Fixing Herb!” Yue Yang stuffed the medicinal herb into Lord Black Flame’s hands.
Lord Black Flame was ecstatic at first.
He nearly died out of the excitement in his heart!
However, after a second, when he finally observed the herb in his hand to confirm it and put it in his storage bracelet before proceeding to kill the two, he suddenly found that he was protected by an energy ball. It was an actual Soul Fixing Herb now; how did it change?
Just now, it was obviously the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb, how did it suddenly become the Soul Fixing Herb?
He stayed still for three seconds first before he immediately understood. Angrily, he threw the Soul Fixing Herb in his hand onto the ground and roared angrily— something that Yue Yang had never done in his entire life, “You brat, you dare to toy with me?”
Student Yue Yang’s expression was particularly innocent, “Didn’t you want the Soul Fixing Herb?You even said that your ancestors have been planting it with their own hands and have been protecting it for generations. I don’t know if your eyes are worse than mine; I think you wouldn’t have regarded the Soul Fixing Herb planted by your ancestors as the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb, right?”
Drunken Cat Yu Jie couldn’t help but make a small puff of laughter when she heard this.
She smiled.
“You played with me? I’ll kill you!” Lord Black Flame had never been so angry in his life. Even when Jiao Tu took away his first love that year, or when his father announced that his brother was to be the heir of the lordship, he had never been as mad as this. Shit, this brat that stole the Vulcan Soul Refining Herb is not just a cunning thief, but he even took the time to fool me. If I don’t torture him alive for 81 days straight, the hatred in my heart would never be dispelled!
“Actually, I am not only interested in the Land of Hidden Treasures, but I really like the Black Flame Soul Crystal of the Heaven Rank Level 6,” Student Yue Yang smiled as his eyes were gleaming, “Since you agreed to give it to me, then, do excuse me.”
“Did he agree?” Drunken Cat Yu Jie asked strangely when she heard something odd.
“Just now, I asked him silently in my heart, but he didn’t object to it, indicating that he had acquiesced to my request, so…” Yue Yang replied.
“Hey, can you be any more shameless?” Suddenly, Drunk Cat Yu Jie felt a little bit of sympathy for the Black Flame Lord who was almost vomiting blood out of anger. She had to admit that meeting this kind of perverted opponent such as Yue Yang was truly a tragedy for any enemy!
[TL note]:
At this point there’s more new characters that are emerging so I’m kind of making the glossary instead of referring to it. I’ll try my best to provide them as accurately as I can, so let me know if any of the names seem awkward or don’t flow all that well!
At any rate, enjoy the chapter! Hope you guys have a great day/night ahead of you!
