“Old Luo!” Du Lengning cried. He was swept aside by Zhao Xihe’s power wave. Even with his ability, he was completely helpless in front of one of the Immortal Realm’s top nine Beast Cultivators. He could barely save himself, let alone save Luo Qian.
Du Lengning only managed to get half of his miserable cry out when he saw white light bursting out from Luo Qian’s corpse in mid-air. It sped off straight in the direction of Fushan like a meteor. Du Lengning suddenly remembered his last experience in Rosy Cloud Spring and quickly picked up Luo Qian’s syringe from the ground.
Uncaring of whether Zhao Xihe was a top-ranking master or not, Du Lengning wiped the tears off his face, and with his dirt-smudged face, pointed at Zhao Xihe’s nose. He said, “Hear me! If anything happens to Old Luo, I will kill you to take revenge for him! Regardless of whether it takes hundreds of years, thousands of years, or ten thousands of years, I will never give up!” After speaking, he leaped into the air, and with a Cloud Step, went to Fushan.
Zhao Xihe was stunned. He had reacted rashly in the spur of the moment earlier. As one of the Heaven Roll’s top nine masters, he would not attack his opponent from behind like this even if he really wanted to kill him. Moreover, he didn’t expect Luo Qian to be so weak that he would die before the fighting even got serious. That white light at the end was really weird though.
Zhao Xihe looked at Du Boan and said in surprise, “Why is he so weak?”
Du Boan sighed, shook his head, and said, “That child is pitiable. H-he’s a Tribulation Immortal…”
“Ah!” Zhao Xihe was really stunned this time. He stared at his hands in a daze. “I, Zhao Xihe, a magnificent high ranking master, killed a Tribulation Immortal from behind? Th-this…” Immense guilt surged in his heart. He looked toward the sky and sighed. This might very well be the most shameful thing he had ever done in his life. “If he really survives, I will do my best to help him!” Unfortunately… Zhao Xihe couldn’t help but shake his head. This taint on his character might not ever be wiped away in this lifetime.
Boom!
“Ouch!” The white light slowly dissipated. Luo Qian groaned in pain, struggling to get up from the ground. Things were difficult the first time, but easy the second. He sat on the ground by himself, thinking carefully. If this was the first time, it could have been just a coincidence, or he just got lucky. This time, he wouldn’t believe that crappy explanation, even if it killed him.
There must be some reason this is happening. Luo Qian began to reflect on what was different about himself. After thinking about it, there was only one thing different during this period—the black hole in his body that could devour Immortal aura! Other than that, there was nothing out of the ordinary about him.
He thought about it again. After the most recent resurrection, he felt that black hole appear. If it was the same this time, then he was sure that his resurrection must be related to the black hole.
He ran into the cave abode and took in a big breath of Immortal aura. Sure enough, the Immortal aura entered his body as if it was a balloon with holes, then disappeared in the blink of an eye. Luo Qian opened his eyes and stared at the rough stone wall in a daze. Could it be that I can’t die?
Before he could figure it out, a gust of wind blew, and a green shadow flickered at the entrance. It was Li Fei’er, who had just returned.
Li Fei’er had been gone for several days. Luo Qian had been busy treating the Clearwater Kirin and had not thought of her. “Boss.” Li Fei’er’s face was flushed like a ripe apple. When Luo Qian saw her bashfulness, he knew that it must be related to sexy lingerie.
“What’s the matter?” he asked calmly. Recently, he had become more and more fond of teasing this cute little lolita.
Li Fei’er thought for a while, then opened her palm to show 10 Superior Immortal Jade. “My third aunt asked me to give this to you. She said that this is to thank you.”
Luo Qian smiled and put away the Immortal Jade. “Why? Was it very effective?”
Li Fei’er nodded and answered softly in the affirmative. Third Aunt had been excited and exuberantly gushing about the things she did with her husband. It seemed Third Aunt and Third Uncle had not been so ‘harmonious’ for hundreds of years.
Li Fei’er’s face turned red again, and there was a burst of curiosity in her heart. It was just two small pieces of cloth. Could they really have such a huge effect? She wanted to ask Luo Qian if men really liked women to dress like that, but she was embarrassed to speak up.
“Boss, when will the game consoles you promised me arrive?” Li Fei’er pouted and said, “Big Sister said that if you don’t get them their game consoles, they won’t return mine. The five of them are now taking turns to play on my game console.” Li Fei’er pursed her red lips and coquettishly asked, “Boss, can you get them their consoles quickly?”
Luo Qian smacked his head. He had almost forgotten about it! “Haha, no problem. Let Boss cultivate for three days. After three days, I will go get them their goods, okay?” Luo Qian promised.
Li Fei’er smiled happily, her expression pure and pleasant. “Thank you, Boss.”
“Haha, no need for thanks…” Luo Qian thought of the valuable purple jade pendant. He was very happy and wanted to give Li Fei’er a little ‘reward,’ but decided against it after some thought. If the young lady received encouragement from his reward and tried to get him more business, who knew if the new customers-to-be could keep a secret? Would they spread his secret? Better forget it.
The unconscientious capitalist decided not to give his employee her sales reward.
When Luo Qian was about to go out, Li Fei’er shouted from behind, “Boss, wait a minute.”
“Yes, what else is there?”
Li Fei’er said hesitantly, “Boss, since you are going to the Human Realm, please buy a few more clothes of that kind back.”
Luo Qian asked curiously, “Can your third aunt wear so many?”
Li Fei’er was suddenly greatly embarrassed. She hesitated and refused to answer.
Luo Qian said, “If you have something to say, say it quickly. Otherwise, I’m leaving.”
“Don’t, Boss.” She gritted her teeth and flipped her hand again to show a bunch of rope…
“Boss, Third Aunt has many close friends. She originally promised me not to talk about it, but…”
Luo Qian was worried and counted the ropes. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight… 27. Oh my God, how many people did she tell!”
Li Fei’er felt so bad she almost cried. “Boss, Third Aunt swears she only told three people, and those people swore that they would not tell anyone! But…”
Luo Qian felt a wave of depression. He couldn’t help but think, There are three kinds of things in this world that are the most unreliable—condoms, contraceptive pills, and bored housewives’ mouths. “Okay. Tell them it’s 120 Superior Immortal Jade each, not a piece less. Otherwise, forget it!” Luo Qian gritted his teeth.
Surprised, Li Fei’er asked, “Isn’t it 100..”
“That’s because it was for you!”
Luo Qian’s tone was fierce, but Li Fei’er felt grateful. “Thank you, Boss. No problem, 120 Superior Immortal Jade. They can afford it.”
Although this business deal was extremely risky, he would sell 27 sets of sexy underwear—which was equivalent to 3,240 superior Immortal Jade. This Immortal Jade, if piled together, was enough to drown Luo Qian. If they fell from the sky, they would be enough to kill Luo Qian. Seeing that the money was within his reach, Luo Qian was dizzy with happiness.
The dizzy Luo Qian had totally forgotten about the matter regarding the Clearwater Kirin. All he could think about was cultivation and cultivation! The sooner he could fill up the black hole in his body, the sooner he could go to the Human Realm. There, he would be able to earn 3,240 Superior Immortal Jade. Goodness, that was 3.2 billion Standard Immortal Jade!
In his dazed state, an arm grabbed him strongly, and Du Lengning’s voice rang in his ears. “Old Luo, you’re all right. My goodness, that’s great! Very great!”
Luo Qian’s vision went black, and he felt a vise tighten around his chest. For a moment, he could not breathe.
After being tortured by this feeling for a long time, Luo Qian finally reacted with a very silly observation. He was getting a bearhug. “Du Lengning, damn you. Let me go quickly!” Who else could it be besides Du Lengning?
At Chuyun Peak’s Water Peak, the depressed Zhao Xihe was awakened by Du Boan. “Master Zhao, come and take a look. The Clearwater Kirin seems to be getting better.”
Zhao Xihe settled his thoughts, turned, and walked over. In fact, he didn’t need to look at it. He had been cultivating with the Clearwater Kirin for thousands of years. Both he and the beast had already joined their thoughts. He just had to pay attention and would be able to sense that the Clearwater Kirin’s condition had indeed improved.
“Oh.” Zhao Xihe walked over to the place where Luo Qian had shot the beast. There was no bleeding, and only a ‘pinhole’ could be seen. Just as Luo Qian said, that sniper rifle was a terrifying weapon to humans, but it was just a syringe to the Clearwater Kirin’s huge body.
The bullet made of Silk Blood Eel guts contained an elixir that dissolved upon contact with blood; the elixir would then quickly spread throughout the body. The condition of the Clearwater Kirin had improved by a bit.
Seeing its owner approach, the Clearwater Kirin endured the discomfort in its body and let out a gentle but resonant roar. It knew the psychological pressure its sickness had caused its owner. Now that it was feeling a little better, it hurriedly reassured its owner with a resounding roar. It was indeed a spiritual beast with very human-like behavior.
“This…” Zhao Xihe’s hands and feet were cold, and his tears flowed freely. He suddenly said, “It turns out that the little brother was really saving Bi’er. How am I-I, Zhao Xihe going to face the world?”
“Master, don’t worry.” Du Boan said, “This kid, Luo Qian, is not that simple.”
“Oh, what does Brother Du mean?”
Du Boan smiled. “Did you notice the white light at the end? I heard Ning’er say that during the battle against the demon in Rosy Cloud Spring, Luo Qian was killed by the demon when the Eight Great Sects encircled and suppressed the demon. That time, he turned into a ball of white light too…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xihe understood. “Could it be that the white light prevents him from dying?”
“It’s very possible. It’s been a while since Ning’er left. I think he should be back soon. Let’s wait a while longer, and we will know the situation.”
“Okay…”
Du Lengning dragged Luo Qian all the way back, cursing and grinning. “Damn, Zhao Xihe. He thinks he can kill indiscriminately just because he is a highly-ranked master. What a b*stard. Fortunately, you’re fine. Otherwise, I will never let him off.” Suddenly he stopped, looked around, and quietly asked Luo Qian, “Old Luo, tell me, what happened these two times?”
Luo Qian sighed and said, “If I tell you I don’t know either, will you believe me?”
Du Lengning looked at him and suddenly gave Luo Qian’s shoulder a small shove. “I believe you! We’re brothers. I will believe you no matter what you say!”
Touched, Luo Qian smiled. “Thank you!”
Seeing two black spots approaching from the distance, Du Boan chuckled. “Master Zhao, look. I’m right, aren’t I?”
Zhao Xihe’s eyesight far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he was able to distinguish that the black spot was Luo Qian. He immediately exclaimed joyfully, “Heaven has eyes. They didn’t allow this old man to make such a huge mistake. It even gave me a chance to make amends. Brother Du, I must protect Little Brother Luo for 500 years and ensure he survives the Immortal calamity!
Du Boan stroked his beard and smiled. Unexpectedly, Luo Qian’s misfortune this time had turned into a great blessing. If Zhao Xihe’s vow was made known to the others in the Immortal Realm, there weren’t many who would dare touch Luo Qian. The fighting ability of Beast Cultivators was in the forefront among all the Immortals.
