Chapter 508 - 507: Offering My Knees

Chapter 508: Chapter 507: Offering My Knees

Jiang Zuo watched Su Qi with a deadpan expression, as she was still lost in thought.

Heaven only knew what Su Qi was going to say next.

’What if she just blurted out, "Did you get new flesh?"’

Jiang Zuo would have no choice but to kneel in surrender.

Jiang Zuo could face anything with calm composure. ’Nervous? Scared?’

’Such feelings were basically nonexistent for him.’

But right now, he felt a hint of anxiety.

It felt as though Su Qi would ask at any second, "Why did you get new flesh?"

He had been gravely injured, his body incomplete. It was only thanks to the Shaping Pill that his flesh had regrown so quickly. As a result, much of his body was brand-new.

’How was he supposed to explain that?’

Jiang Zuo sighed internally. ’I’m a dead man.’

However, Su Qi had no intention of asking. Instead, she felt his other side, then gave it a few taps.

Resigned, Jiang Zuo could only ask, "What are you doing?"

Without looking up, Su Qi said, "I’m seeing if your build has gotten better. It feels like you have pecs now."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’Now that’s more like it. What kind of normal person would think of someone getting new flesh?’

’Especially since he himself was a normal person.’

At that, Su Qi stopped her examination. She grabbed Jiang Zuo and started running back, saying, "Let’s go. We’ll take a look when we get back. It’s not convenient here."

"..." ’On second thought,’ he thought, ’maybe just kneeling in surrender would have been better.’

Meanwhile, Chi Xue Child and the others had been resting on a hillside for quite some time.

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan had made a lot of money and was originally quite happy about it.

However, Witch Dan Xue told her that if she had set up a referral system, she could have earned at least a hundred times more.

Her mood instantly soured. Although she had arrogantly retorted to Witch Dan Xue at the time that she was rich and could do whatever she wanted...

...it still hurt.

All that money, just gone. And she still had so many debts to pay... she...

As she thought of this, Mo Yan suddenly froze.

’Wait, I’m a Demon Cultivator. Why should I pay anyone back?’

’It’s not like *I* was the one who wanted to borrow it.’ The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, and her predicament was instantly solved.

Liuyue Xue held up her phone, having typed a message for Mo Yan to see: *I’ll take half. You can split the rest with them.*

Mo Yan’s expression turned ugly again. ’She’s the real Demon Cultivator here,’ she thought.

But she couldn’t refuse. Of course, a scheme to get something for nothing like this would be Liuyue Xue’s idea.

’That woman makes money so fast.’

Mo Yan wondered, ’As a Demon Cultivator, should I just default on my debt to her?’

Just then, Chi Xue Child asked, "By the way, has anyone been able to contact Fellow Daoist Po Xiao?"

Xiao Xiaomo shook her head. "Couldn’t reach him. I wanted to ask if that was really Boss Po Xiao just now."

Liu Yiyi said, "And what if it was? Are we going to join him for a tribulation crossing again next time?"

Everyone: "..."

Now that she mentioned it, Chi Xue Child and the others felt incredibly lucky that their last tribulation wasn’t the Judgment-type Celestial Punishment.

Then again, if it had been, they probably could have passed it, right?

Mo Yan spoke up. "I think if that person really was Boss Po Xiao, then a 7.1 rating doesn’t suit him anymore."

The group looked at Mo Yan, waiting for her performance.

Mo Yan paid them no mind and declared, "I, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, hereby pronounce Boss Po Xiao to be the most powerful boss, with a rating of 9.9!"

Everyone: "..."

Although they were contemptuous of Mo Yan, the title of "most powerful" did give them pause.

Perhaps Po Xiao really could live up to it.

Once he reached Tier Nine...

...would anyone in the world still be his match?

Of course, this all hinged on the major assumption that the person who crossed the tribulation was, in fact, Po Xiao.

If it wasn’t, then that meant there was another powerhouse out there even more formidable than Po Xiao.

Jian Shisan had now returned to the shore of Holy Beast Lake.

Yue Xi was sitting on Xuanwu’s back, staring at the lake’s surface, lost in thought.

"Old Qi, it’s already dark. Why haven’t you gone back yet?" Xuanwu asked.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want Old Qi to keep her company, but this was unusual.

And if things were unusual, it might mean she was in a bad mood.

As the older sister, it was her duty to show concern.

Yue Xi glanced at the sky. "Fifth Brother, do you remember when Gui Mother and the others left?"

Xuanwu thought for a moment. "A long time ago. It was shortly after you became the Saintess, I think. Do you miss them?"

"Better not to. They used to hit people all the time. Besides, no one dares to bully us now."

Yue Xi looked at Xuanwu and said, "That’s because my big sister was still little back then. All children need some discipline."

"Nonsense! I’m the older sister! I only got hit because I was a slow learner," Xuanwu declared.

She would rather admit to being slow than to being the younger one.

Yue Xi laughed happily. She was about to tease her "big sister" a bit more, but just then, Jian Shisan descended from the sky.

Seeing Jian Shisan, Yue Xi stopped her teasing.

She looked at him with a more serious expression.

As Jian Shisan landed, Yue Xi spoke. "It’s so late. Aren’t you going back to rest, Senior Brother?"

Jian Shisan nodded. "Mm."

Yue Xi asked, "Then is there something you need, Senior Brother?"

Jian Shisan then held out his hand. In his palm was a tiny whale.

The Little Whale swam around on Jian Shisan’s palm, doing its best to appear completely harmless. ’The fiercer I am, the more gruesome my death will be.’

’These humans on the outside are terrifying.’

’My little master was so much better.’

Jian Shisan said, "This... this whale... is... is not bad."

"You can... you can have it... as a gift... Junior Sister."

"And... and... it... it can also keep Little Xuanwu company... as a... a sparring partner."

Xuanwu looked at Jian Shisan, finding his stuttering painful to watch. "I remember you didn’t use to stutter. Why did you suddenly start?"

Yue Xi looked at the Little Whale.

The moment Jian Shisan had taken out the whale, she knew her Senior Brother intended to give it to her.

But she didn’t finish his sentence for him.

She wanted to hear him say it all.

Yue Xi held out her hand, and the Little Whale very tactfully flew over to her palm.

’Great, I’ve got a new owner.’

’This human is weaker. I’ll find a chance to kill her and escape.’

But as the Little Whale landed in Yue Xi’s hand, it suddenly felt a boundless Sword Intent.

It was instantly reminded of the terror of being dominated earlier.

It took one look and saw that this woman was wearing something that belonged to *that* man.

’It’s over. I can’t escape.’

Yue Xi looked at the Little Whale. ’This counts as the first real gift my Senior Brother has given me, right?’

’Besides the bracelet on my wrist and the Dao Bead from before.’

Although the Little Whale emanated a faint feeling of Chaos, Yue Xi didn’t mind.

After a moment’s thought, Yue Xi said to Jian Shisan, "In that case, I’ll have to prepare a gift for you in return, Senior Brother."

Jian Shisan was taken aback for a second, then shook his head. "No, you don’t have to."

Yue Xi: "..."

’Sometimes her Senior Brother was truly exasperating.’

In truth, Jian Shisan just didn’t want to trouble Yue Xi. Besides, he gave her the gift not because he wanted something in return.

He simply wanted to give her something.

Then Jian Shisan added, "This fish... is... a little dangerous. I... I’ve already left... left my Sword Intent... on it."

"If it makes any... funny moves... it will... it will be instantly... slain."

Yue Xi felt completely exasperated. ’If you say that, most people wouldn’t dare accept it.’

’Why is my Senior Brother so foolish?’

But Yue Xi didn’t mind at all.

Yue Xi might not have minded, but the Little Whale minded a great deal.

’So that means I can’t escape?’

’If I try to escape, I’ll die?’

’Following these people is worse than staying with my little master.’

Only after being a thousand miles from home did it realize how good it had it.
