Chapter 1218: Happiness Can Be Frustrating
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Xiaobei accompanied his family for lunch, during which his parents expressed their concerns and coddled him.
He told them that he had been expanding abroad, but mentioned nothing of the Northern Wilderness Starfield.
As he had not secured his place there, he did not want to jump the wagon and there was no need to worry his already concerned parents.
Once they were done interrogating Chen Xiaobei, it was his turn to ask the questions. “Where is everyone else? Where did they all go to?”
“Isn’t Old Jiang helping you overseas? Why didn’t he return with you?” Chen Zhongfu asked.
“Old Jiang? Oh… Right, he is indeed overseas. I will ask him to come back tomorrow!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.
Jiang Ziya, Six-ear Macaque, and Chen Xiaobei’s loyal Japanese hounds were all managing Japan for Chen Xiaobei!
Japan was neither a faction nor a small force, but a country!
In order for Chen Xiaobei to gain complete control, apart from having Nikkawa Uchu under chains, there were a lot of intricate problems that needed addressing.
Getting Japan away from America’s control was a big enough problem.
That was why Jiang Ziya had flown to Japan to help Nikkawa Uchu and Six Eared Macaque to oversee the general situation!
With Jiang Ziya, Chen Xiaobei did not have to worry about the developments taking place over there.
He was ome of the rare few prodigies in China! One should know that Jiang Ziya was the legendary advisor. He had experience being a general and was the advisor of a country!
While others might have not been able to clean up the mess in Japan, Jiang Jiya could. The bigger the mess, the more skilled and familiar he was at devising a strategy to overcome it!
Giving him a country with a troops of a thousand would allow room for him to show his true talent!
After League of God War, even the Primordial Lord of Heaven assigned Jiang Ziya to rule the heavens for him, giving him control of the three realms and the Chanism’s ambassador.
There was no way to explain how incredible Jiang Ziya was.
“Where did Xiaoyao go? I’m really not used to having her arguing with me,” asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
Since the beginning, Murong Xiaoyao was against Chen Xiaobei.
On another hand, Chen Xiaobei had always teased Murong Xiaoyao, calling her a ‘Flatboard princess’, and never getting her the breast enlargements he promised her. Murong Xiaoyao would then return the insult.
They really were like two star-crossed lovers.
“Xiaoyao had gone to Eastern Europe with the Huo Siblings,” Murong Tian replied. “Huo Yuanba said that there are some things that needed to be taken care of there. He wanted to bring Huo Qiaoqiao with him, and since Xiaoyao and Qiao’er’s relationship were pretty good, she was inadvertently dragged into it. She will be coming home soon.”
“Oh, no wonder.”
Chen Xiaobi nodded.
Huo Yuanba’s nickname was Eastern Europe War Bear due to his influence there. With him there, Chen Xiaobei did not have to worry about anything.
“Tai Yitan and Wu Aofeng has already gone home.” Mu Rongtian replied. “They haven’t been home since the Martial Arts competition! They’ve been complaining that it was getting boring. They even said that they are going home in glory so that Northwest and Southwest Jianghu can all witness Bei Xuan Faction’s commanding power!”
Tai Yitan was born in Miao Jiang at Southwest and was Miao Jiang’s first prodigy under the age of thirty.
Similarly, Wu Aogend was Northwest’s very first prodigy.
The two of them joining Bei Xuan Faction would certainly cause a huge sensation in Northwest and Southwest Jianghu.
“Did Feng Qingyang also return to his hometown?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Nope, he’s isolated himself in the mountains back there to train. He wanted to break through to True Nirvana Cultivation,” Murong Tian said.
“Isolation?”
“Don’t worry. Xiaobai and Sirius are both standing guard. They will report immediately if anything strange happens.”
“I’m not worried. But breaking though is such an easy matter. Why does he have to isolate himself?”
“Easy?”
Murong Tian’s eyes widened.
As an experienced Jianghu elite, he knew better than anyone else that breaking through cultivation was as difficult as nailing jelly to the wall. How could Chen Xiaobei say that it was easy?
“Isn’t it?” Chen Xiaobei asked. “Have you forgotten about the present I gave everyone during New Year’s Eve?”
“New Year’s Eve?” Murong Tian went blank for a while before nodding, “I remember… It was difficult for other people but it was as easy as ABC for you!”
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Chen Xiaobei gifted everyone with a God of War Body Strengthening Pill and Yellow-tier Cultivation Breaking Pill.
Those who received the presents were Chen Zhongfu, Zhang Chui’er, Ne Zha, Hong Hai’er, Old Wang, Song Qincheng, Jin Fei, Fire Boss… They had all achieved Qi’s refining stage, and earned 5,000 combat power.
It was through them that Murong Tian had personally witnessed the miracle.
And this miracle happened through the hands of Chen Xiaobei.
“I will go take a look later. I’ll help him to break through his cultivation. Why is he isolating himself? We have to celebrate Duanwu tomorrow!” Chen Xiaobei said casually.
Chen Xiaobei had only eaten a third of the 18 Skybreaking Cultivation Pills that he concocted. Tearing a small piece from it could help Feng Qingyang break through his cultivation.
Murong Tian smiled bitterly. All major things had become easy in Chen Xiaobei’s hands.
Chen Xiaobei then asked about those who were not around. They were the few of his Celestial Cultivation loyal hounds, Yue Changkong, Zhuang Bihuang. Those had already returned to Mount Hua Faction. Shu Dongruo had returned to Green Town Faction.
All of them held important positions in their factions, and if they did not return, both ancient factions would undoubtedly be in a mess.
“What about Gordon?”
Chen Xiaobei remembered that he still had another loyal hound, a Blood Descendent loyal hound.
Gordon was an unfortunate Blood Descendant who’s entire family had been destroyed. Other than Bei Xuan Faction, he had nowhere else to go.
“Oh, I was going to tell you!” Old Wang put down his phone and said, “Something happened at Ms. Song’s place. She borrowed Gordon to help her…”
“Qincheng?” Chen Xiaobei frowned. “What happened?”
When Old Wang first came to earth, he had visited Song Qincheng’s home with Chen Xiaobei.”
Now, Song Qincheng and Old Wang were old acquaintances. Having Song Qincheng asking Old Wang to borrow their people in secret meant that the problem had to be pretty intractable, and that she did not want anyone to worry.
“I’m not too sure what exactly happened. You better go find out if you’re not too busy!” Old Wang said.
“Mm, alright!” Chen Xiaobei placed the remaining Skybreaking Cultivation Pills on the table and instructed, “Give this to Feng Qinyang. He’ll be able to break through with a breeze. I’ll go see Qincheng now!”
“Alright…”
Old Wang nodded.
“Mum, dad, I’ll go out for over to find out which bastard has the balls to bully your daughter-in-law!”
“Daughter-in-law?” Chen Zhongfu and Zhang Chui’er said in unison. “Another one?”
“Er, what… do you mean by another one?”
Chen Xiaobei stuttered, realizing now that he had let slip a secret.
Among Chen Xiaobei’s many confidantes, Song Qincheng and Lady Goddess were the only two that Chen Xiaobei had slept with.
But deep down, Chen Xiaobei saw only Song Qincheng as his wife.
“Puti is the first! If you forget her, I’ll give you a good beating!” Zhang Chui’er said solemnly.
Chen Zhongfu said nothing, but his expression said that he had his wife’s back.
These two old folks had met Luo Puti during their loneliest time in Chen Village, and she had even personally healed Chen Zhongfu’s leg.
That was why the both of them had long-recognized her as their beautiful daughter-in-law.
“No…I won’t ever forget anyone…”
Chen Xiaobei forced a smile.
Of course, debts must be repaid.
He would have to first go pay Song Qincheng a visit. He wanted to know what it was, that she had to borrow Gordon to help her?
