Chapter 753: You Are a Very Dangerous Person

Que De was extremely embarrassed, his expression turning ugly. Ye Tianling, on the other hand, felt incredibly satisfied. ’It really wasn’t easy to screw this Que De over for once.’

"From now on, I’ll have that old bastard Wan Jimie and the disciples of his lineage wear this hat. I, Lord Que, am truly... so magnificent. I’m moved by my own greatness."

Apparently, after understanding the meaning of the "Forgiveness Hat," Que De had already come up with a plan for a "grand sacrifice." He intended to give away all the precious Daoist Celestial Essence Hats from his lineage to Wan Jimie, Wan Xuegui, and their group, free of charge.

"..."

A muscle in Ye Tianling’s cheek twitched. He wasn’t surprised by Que De’s shamelessness.

"You damn fatty, just how many depraved things have you done now? The aura from all these treasures on you is ancient and desolate, mottled and mournful. These must be treasures from this World, right? Did you just dig them up?"

’This Que De once robbed the ancestral tombs of countless Holy Lands and Ancestral Lands, getting his hands on a ton of treasures and earning the wrath of both heaven and man.’

In the original Small World, he had been hunted by Cultivators from all over, a pariah to all, and had stirred up a storm wherever he went.

"Tsk tsk, you’re really something. Not only did you get some Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King to back you up, but you even scared a Saint from the Ji Family into kneeling and begging for mercy, forcing them into seclusion. And now you’ve even sharpened your eye for things. Not bad, not bad at all. Our brotherhood wasn’t for nothing!"

Que De clicked his tongue, his beady eyes narrowing. He seemed to be praising Ye Tianling, but he was actually looking down on him.

"Well, speaking of which, I have to mention my peerless Talent that transcends the Heaven and Earth Laws. Sigh. A man as outstanding as me is like a firefly in the dead of night—just too brilliant. My rugged stubble, my melancholic gaze, my transcendent aura... Even if I try to be low-key, I’m just too eye-catching. It drives others mad with jealousy. What can I do when I’m this amazing?"

Ye Tianling lamented with a melancholic air.

"Yeah, right. Keep bragging."

Que De shot Ye Tianling a look, completely ignoring his words.

Ye Tianling chuckled. "Que De, you’re not bad yourself. You’re actually at the Late Stage of One Path Sword Ancestor. It’s really not easy to maintain that Realm after the Fusion of two Worlds’ resources."

Que De rolled his eyes. "Who said I’m only at the Late Stage of One Path Sword Ancestor? I’m hiding my Cultivation!"

Ye Tianling was a little surprised. "Don’t tell me you’ve reached the Sword Ancestor Two Paths Realm? Not bad! Come on, help me raise my Realm, and while you’re at it, give me a hundred eighty thousand Ancestral and Sacred Artifacts. Let me have some fun, huh?"

Que De was speechless. The fat on his face quivered. "I’ve reached Sword Ancestor Great Perfection. I’m just concealing my Cultivation, which is why you think I’m at the Late Stage of One Path Sword Ancestor. As for the Sacred and Ancestral Artifacts... that thing you said earlier, about ’long time no see’? Say it again for me."

Hearing this, Ye Tianling was also speechless.

’This Que De... what a piece of work.’

’What the hell is the difference between the Late Stage of One Path Sword Ancestor and Great Perfection, anyway?’

’And he’s being so damn serious about it. It’s ridiculous.’

Ye Tianling immediately said, "The first thing I said was, ’Que De, long time no see! It’s been a while!’"

Que De immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. "Sorry, who are you? I don’t know you, and I certainly don’t know that handsome and extraordinary Lord Que."

The corner of Ye Tianling’s mouth twitched. He was utterly speechless.

’Damn it, the moment I mention treasures, this bastard immediately pretends he doesn’t know me.’

Ye Tianling’s mood lightened considerably. He stopped bantering with Que De and smiled. "Que De, what are you doing here? How did you get in? What’s your business?"

Ye Tianling asked seriously, not mentioning treasures again. Que De visibly let out a huge sigh of relief, but a wary look remained in his eyes—he was afraid Ye Tianling was after his treasures.

"Ahem, I don’t have any good treasures, so don’t get any ideas. You scammed my Disciple Que Xinyan until he was practically witless. You nearly scammed Wan Jimie into an actual ’Jimie’—Silent Extinction. And Wan Xuegui nearly saw all his blood return to nothing. We all remember. We’ll never forget it for the rest of our lives. They’ve learned from bitter experience that you’re a very dangerous person."

Que De said resentfully.

Ye Tianling gave a sheepish laugh and didn’t say anything more.

’These people... seriously? So petty. I screw them over once and they remember it for a lifetime? How shameless, how ungracious.’

Que De added, "Of course, if you’ve taken a liking to my... er, not mine, to Wan Jimie’s Daoist Celestial Essence Hat, I don’t mind giving it to you."

Ye Tianling’s face immediately darkened. "You keep it. It’s so green, I’m sure you’ll love it."

"Bullshit! You like it! Your whole family likes it!"

Que De’s face immediately turned red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Ye Tianling burst out laughing. "Well, I’ve never been like a certain rat, wearing that kind of hat all day long. Haha."

Que De’s face grew even darker. "Say that again and our friendship is over! We’re no longer brothers!"

Ye Tianling said with exaggeration, "Damn, that’s harsh!"

Que De snorted. "Fine, if you don’t want this treasure, I’m not that willing to give it away anyway. After all, I, Lord Que, went through a lot of trouble to get it. This is one of the core areas of the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave, Purgatory Purple Mountain. It’s an independent small Space you can teleport into when the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array is activated. Is it so strange that I’m here? After all, you know the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array isn’t far from my old den."

Que De had turned to serious matters, so Ye Tianling stopped messing around. Although they bickered and insulted each other, they both felt a warmth in their hearts.

"Did you come in as a Dao Body? A Void Body?"

Ye Tianling was taken aback.

"Hmph, you finally noticed. This also means you can’t get out to my side from here. Otherwise, I really would have wanted to take you out to see your woman, Ouyang Ruoxue. She’s suffered a lot for you. You better treat her well."

For once, Que De was somewhat serious as he spoke with gravity.

Ye Tianling was silent for a moment before saying, "I will."

Que De nodded. "This Purgatory Purple Mountain is the Emperor’s Burial Land of a peerless Martial Emperor—or at least, it might be. This Martial Emperor’s title was ’Asura Martial Emperor.’ So, you should understand what’s here, right?"

Ye Tianling’s heart skipped a beat. He then said, "You’ve set your sights on the treasures in this Emperor’s Burial Land? You want to dig up the Asura Martial Emperor’s grave and steal his treasures?"

Que De rolled his eyes and let out a puff of white breath so foul that Ye Tianling retreated three meters to put some distance between himself and the brute.

This was truly a peerless monster who carried his own biological weapon.

"Pah! What kind of talk is that? Am I, Lord Que, that kind of Gold-devouring Rat? Besides, it’s not even certain if that Asura Martial Emperor is dead or not! I just came to pay my respects to the great Asura Martial Emperor."

The two stared at each other, beady eyes meeting wide.

Ye Tianling was clearly unconvinced. "Pay your respects? You have the gall to say something like that? The great Lord Que, whose profession is treasure-stealing and grave-robbing, came to ’pay respects’ at a Martial Emperor’s Burial Land? Aren’t you afraid that Martial Emperor will hear you, get pissed off, and climb right out of his grave?"
