Azure Heaven Saber
Chapter 284 - 284 42 Underground Yuezhou Circle

Chapter 284: Chapter 42: Underground Yuezhou Circle Chapter 284: Chapter 42: Underground Yuezhou Circle “Hiss!”

He Xiangming gasped in shock.

This move is so vicious.

“Won’t we offend all these major sects though?”

“You either offend one or offend all, a no-win situation! If you can’t afford to offend the major sects, can you afford to offend all the bidders?”

Zhuang Weiran rolled his eyes: “As long as these sects don’t fear shame, I’ll just openly criticize them, letting the world scold them. What does it have to do with our little auction house…”

“Aren’t we responding to all requests?! So, even a few minor wrongdoings should fall on us?”

He Xiangming was speechless for a while.

Your response to all requests, indeed… it’s pretty formidable.

“How many goods do you have left in your hands now?”

“Twenty-seven left.”

“That’s enough to sustain for a while! If you’re worried about accidents, breed a few more in the next few days, just in case.”

Zhuang Weiran asked Feng Yin: “Is that okay?”

“No problem, there’s nothing wrong.”

Feng Yin replied.

“Hmm, are there any good seedlings now?” Feng Yin asked.

“Not many. The resources of the sects are now tilting towards us, but there aren’t many of high quality.”

“There are just over five hundred Snake King eggs transferred from above, said to be Swallowing Heaven Python’s eggs… they’re hatching.”

He Xiangming said: “Now these eggs, they all fall into my hands.”

“Over five hundred?!”

Zhuang Weiran was shocked: “Who did this, planning to make them extinct all at once?”

He Xiangming showed a bit of embarrassment: “There’s a very resourceful guy, in fact, over 70% of the high-grade young beasts we’ve gotten these few years are from him. This time, I don’t know where he got over five hundred Snake King eggs from, even I was shocked.”

“What a freaking genius!”

Zhuang Weiran nodded repeatedly: “If this guy doesn’t die in a snake pit in the future, I would consider the Snake King very merciful.”

Feng Yin frowned and said: “This is too harsh. Should have left something for others…how long will it take for these snake eggs to hatch?”

“Coincidentally, some should break out tonight; the majority of the rest will hatch in the next two days.”

“Bring them all here when the time comes.”

Feng Yin finally decided.

“Sure.”

With this, basically, everything was discussed, Feng Yin said solemnly: “Let’s stop here for now, Sister He you go hatch the eggs first. Those eggs are top priority now, I raced back without even a drink, I am indeed very tired.”

Not only were the guests dismissed.

But Feng Yin also didn’t hide the fact that he was sending another signal.

He Xiangming didn’t feel awkward at all, she nodded: “Then I’ll be back tomorrow night, by then some of the little snakes should have hatched.”

On the way back, He Xiangming felt relaxed, finally, someone came to help her bear these pressures…

It was not until she almost reached her residence that He Xiangming suddenly rolled her eyes: “Hmm, I felt something was off just now, that sentence was a bit… hmph!”

Sister He, you go hatch the eggs?!!

When she thought back on it, He Xiangming couldn’t help but get angry, her chest even swelled with indignation.

I am just trying to hatch those eggs, and I have people to work on it, it’s not that I have to hatch the eggs itself.

Can’t you phrase it right?

I am still an unmarried girl, you know…

It took a good while for He Xiangming to calm her anger.

If Feng Yin knew what she was thinking, he would probably choke on his saliva: Is this what I meant to convey?!

What you got, was not at all what I meant…

What kind of mindset do women have dagnabbit?!!!

…

Zhuang Weiran and his wife didn’t stay long at Feng Yin’s place, they returned directly to their own yard.

On the one hand, they wanted to leave some private space for Feng Yin, but on the other hand, they had gained a lot from this trip. Although they had recovered their cultivation, their strength could not be fully restored, and they needed to assimilate the newly acquired ‘Sky Stealer’ skill to their own abilities.

They couldn’t cultivate it, but they could try to learn from it.

As usual, Feng Yin sits for a while under the Iron Heart Tree in the courtyard and, also as usual, touched up both Iron Heart Trees again.

With Feng Yin’s breakthrough, the transformation energy of the Spiritual Transformation Technique became more refined, allowing the two trees, which had already shown considerable spiritual characteristics, to have a more substantial foundation, promising a bright future.

The leaves of the Iron Heart Tree swayed. Restraining their bursting joy and excitement, they gathered all the newly-acquired energy into the trunk, not letting it leak from the leaves.

After this round of gains, the ring age of the two trees directly exceeded ten thousand years.

An ancient, natural, and profound aura was about to emerge. But, under Feng Yin’s guidance, this attention-grabbing momentum was retracted by the two Iron Heart Trees.

Despite being so excited, they didn’t reveal anything, they weren’t allowed to pretend to be superior, they had to continue hiding, keeping low profile while getting rich!

It was indeed under Feng Yin’s guidance!

The roots of the two Iron Heart Trees now extended tens of feet below ground, their intricate roots sprawling out to great distances.

All the trees within a hundred miles of Yuezhou City were filled with envy and probing questions.

“The two of you elders got benefits again, didn’t you?”

The fine roots kept sending inquiries like this.

Plants and beasts had a similar belief, they didn’t care about origins or background, only strength mattered. As the two Iron Heart Trees held true power and strength over them, they were the bosses, undoubtedly the bosses!

“What benefits? Ha ha ha … “, replied the two Iron Heart trees.

All the other trees went silent.

Freaking lying through your teeth, aren’t you?

You haven’t openly boast, but your pretentious aura already filled the whole Yuezhou!

Those stupid humans might not feel it, but do you think you can fool us, your fellow trees?

No, Yuezhou City can’t accommodate your arrogance anymore!

Why the hell didn’t the master plant me in the yard then?

You’re pretending you’ve gained no benefits, nor boasted…

Alright, alright, we admit it. But why the hell have you two been producing flowers in the middle of the night?

Even though Iron Heart trees are in bloom now and the average person wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

But being long-established trees and plants like us, wouldn’t we figure out that you have bloomed more than ten times this year?

What’s there to be excited about?

Blooming every day? Showing off to the extreme…

I guess you guys are literally happy as a blooming flower, aren’t you?

Oh, the phrase ‘happy as a bloom’… did it originate from you two?

Then, the two leading Iron Heart Trees spoke through their interconnected roots to the other trees rooted underground.

“The master has gone out. Let’s see who among you will be fortunate enough to receive favor. You guys, unlike us, rarely get the chance…”

At these words, all the other trees shuddered, their spirits suddenly lifted.

Opportunity!

The master is finally going out.

“Don’t blame us if we didn’t tell you. If the master arrives and someone screws up…”

The Iron Heart Trees humphed, “Then just leave our Yuezhou circle. In our group, we’d rather lack than accept the rotten! We all understand this, right?”

“Thanks for your guidance, boss.”

“And, there’s this big fellow outside the city who strangely has a very good relationship with the master. It has already developed consciousness faster than us two. If we can’t combine our strength… well… if we still lose despite our combined strength, then we might as well die from drought.”

“Boss, rest assured! Together we stand!”

“This time the master goes out, there will undoubtedly be blessings everywhere in the distant woods… Even though they will become our brothers and allies in the future, they will also be our competitors!”

“It’s acceptable to share evenly, but we absolutely do not allow monopolies. We need to absorb them! Digest them! Divide and then unite them! Quietly… assimilate and suppress them! We, the old trees, can’t allow foreign influences to thrive!”

“Um, I’m greatly relieved.”

The communication above was naturally completed through the root system.

After the Iron Heart Tree finished delivering the message, it swayed, looking quite satisfied with itself at its high vantage point.

This feeling of quietly commanding all the trees of the city… freaking cool.

The human count governing the city thinks he’s powerful, huh… what power do you have!

We are the real rulers!

At this moment, a faint consciousness came from afar, “Boss, General Wu has placed information and many things on me again, this is the third time… when will the master come to retrieve them?”

“Huh? Why didn’t you report this earlier?”

“This…”

“Hmm, deliberately hiding such important information… are you trying to compete for favor!?” The Iron Heart tree was angry.

“I dare not. It’s just that my location is special, as a crucial contact point between the master and the outside world. I would not dare to expose it unless General Wu had moved three times…”

“With your arrogant talk… You wait!”

“Have mercy, boss…”

“Just wait, the master will come soon. If you have such thoughts again, we’ll collectively drain the water source around 500 meters radius from you, dying of thirst will be the least of your worries! We absolutely won’t tolerate this kind of foul practice in our group!”

“I was wrong… wah wah…”

…

It was a long time before the two Iron Heart trees stopped showing off and then started discussing amongst themselves.

“What do you think if we name ourselves?”

“What name? Isn’t it up to the master to name us?”

“We can name ourselves too. What about ‘Yuezhou Yi’ for me, and ‘Yuezhou Er’ for you? How’s that?”

“What… what does that mean?”

“It means I’m the boss and you’re the second.”

“Why can’t I be called Yuezhou Yi?”

“…”

A SMACK sounded…

Suddenly, they both stretched out a thick branch and collided with a thud…

Numerous petals fell down, rustling in the dust.

On the other side of the yard…

“Damn, is it an earthquake?”

Zhu Weiran jumped out in surprise: “What was that noise?”

………

[Finally moved past the bottleneck. Holy shit, I’ve been stalling for two days now… stalling is actually more tiring than progressing the plot. This is the honest truth. I’m sure you all will understand and support me…cough. I should be back to my productive self soon…]
