Chapter 198: Chapter 95 Let’s say hello to it! [Request for monthly votes!]_1

Gurgle, gurgle.

On Silver Sword Peak, a hot pot soup filled with chili oil was bubbling.

Shang Ziliang, along with Henchman A and Henchman B, was sitting at the table with Chu Liang and Lin Bei -- all members of the Mountain God Sacrifice Team were gathered together.

"Big Brother, did you invite us because you have solved the problem of the Mountain God Sacrifice?" Shang Ziliang asked.

"I have some clues about the problem, but it’s not urgent." Chu Liang nodded, then continued, "I have prepared some fresh meat of Wing Fire Serpent and called you all to try it."

First, he had a meal at home on Silver Sword Peak, then he went to eat with Senior Sister Jiang. Now this was his third meal.’

"Life is good when you’re with Big Brother." Henchman A immediately flattered with a smirk.

"Hm." Henchman B grunted, nodding.

"We are just cooperating, there’s no talk of anyone following anyone else." Chu Liang responded with a smile, and then stated, "However, I did invite you this time because I need your help with something."

"Eh!" Shang Ziliang slapped his chest, "Big Brother, there’s no need to be polite with us. You saved my life. Anything you need, just say the word!"

"Yeah! We will fulfill our duties!" declared Henchman A.

"Hm." Henchman B responded with a simple grunt.

"Well, thanks a lot." said Chu Liang. "Everyone, help yourselves now."

"Hehe, I’ve heard that the meat of Wing Fire Serpent invigorates the blood and provides a great nourishment. Today, I get to enjoy it because of you, Big Brother..." Shang Ziliang stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

Chu Liang looked down and noticed that the plates in front of them were already empty. The plates were cleared off in just a short time, and there seemed to not be much food left in the pot.

What’s going on?

He looked around and saw Lin Bei, who had been silent all along, and Henchman B, who had kept his head down and was eating, were both holding their chopsticks and staring each other down across the table.

Sparks seemed to fly off their gazes.

They were like two peerless swordsmen who had run into each other on a narrow path.

In the moment that the meat slices in the pot were fully cooked, two pairs of chopsticks moved nearly as fast as lightning, and then the glow of two paths.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bei’s chopsticks held a large chunk of meat. He respectably dipped it in the oil dish and took a big bite, a smug gleam in his eyes.

Henchman B, with a solemn look on his face, was as cautious as if he was facing a formidable opponent.

The next second, a murderous look appeared in his eyes. His chopsticks swiveled around in a tricky arc, scooping a fish ball from the pot. He moved his wrist slightly, and the fish ball drew a beautiful arc as it dropped into his mouth. He started chewing with no sign of discomfiture from the heat.

This time, it was Lin Bei’s turn to look serious.

The two of them were engaging in a wordless and intense battle, their eyes full of battle intent, and a sense of excitement from meeting a worthy opponent.

...

Chen Lingtong, seven years old this year, was at an age when kids are full of energy.

He’s got thick eyebrows and big eyes, sparkling with intelligence. An orphan by birth, he is a pitiful sight, but he is naturally clever and has developed spirit at a young age, stepping into the ranks of cultivators.

Since he was born, he has been especially loved by Shu Mountain elders, and even the Sect Leader Grandpa is very kind to him when he sees him.

But those elders don’t have time to teach him every day, and only the disciples of Pill Furnace Elder accompany him. These people dare not restrain him. If the child cried a little, they would face the punishment of Pill Furnace Elder.

So, Chen Lingtong lives happily every day.

Lu Xun, the ninth disciple of Pill Furnace Elder is looking after him today. As an executive disciple in the Pill Furnace Hall, being assigned to look after a child would naturally be unwilling for cultivators of their caliber, but they dare not take it lightly. They sit in quiet meditation for their own cultivation, letting the child play by himself.

Chen Lingtong was chasing monkeys around the back mountain, causing chaos and laughter with his part in the game by throwing rocks from a distance. When he hit one of the rocks himself, he would giggle out loud.

Only the words "bad boy" were lacking from his face.

At this moment, a giant Golden Fur Beast descended from the sky.

Lu Xun immediately opened his eyes.

"Senior Brother, I came here to apologize." Chu Liang said politely as he approached Lu Xun.

Lu Xun looked at Chu Liang with a complex expression, paused for a moment before saying, "Just be careful not to hurt the kid."

"I won’t." Chu Liang replied with a smile.

Lu Xun closed his eyes, no longer paying attention.

Chu Liang brought the Golden Fur Beast closer to the bratty kid and, smiling, asked, "Do you remember him?"

"Hmph." Chen Lingtong said, an aloof look on his face, "I remember. He tried to bite me yesterday!"

"It was its fault last time. I brought it here to apologize to you." Chu Liang waved a hand dismissively and said, "Golden Fur Beast!"

On hearing Chu Liang’s command, the Golden Fur Beast rose to its hind legs and stood upright, its front paws joined together in apology, looking very much like it was saying sorry.

"Hehe," the bratty kid immediately started laughing.

"Actually, it just wanted to play with you last time," Chu Liang explained. "It is a Spirit Beast, and Spirit Beasts love it when people throw stones at them. They think it’s a game."

"Really?" Chen Lingtong asked, fascinated. It was the first time he’d heard such a thing.

"Of course it’s true. Watch." Chu Liang picked up a stone and threw it toward the Golden Fur Beast.

The Golden Fur Beast leaped up with an echoing howl and caught the stone in its mouth, then spun around in obvious delight.

"You try it," Chu Liang prompted the boy.

"Eh?" Chen Lingtong, finding the whole thing amusing, picked up a stone himself and hurled it vigorously towards the Golden Fur Beast.

"Roar—" The Golden Fur Beast leapt up to catch the stone, spinning with joy, even doing two rounds this time.

"Hehe, this big fellow is so silly," Chen Lingtong laughed.

"You’re really good at this! You’re throwing so accurately!" Chu Liang gave a thumbs-up. "Throw harder. The harder you throw, the more it thinks you are enthusiastic."

Seeing that Chu Liang and the child were getting along, Lu Xun decided not to intervene any further. Occasionally, however, he shot a thoughtful glance in Chu Liang’s direction.

Just then, another person approached from behind. "Senior Brother Lu Xun?" he called out.

Turning to look, Lu Xun recognized the son of Shang Shuwen from Yunyao Peak— he couldn’t recall his name, just that he was a disciple of rather average talent.

"I am Shang Ziliang. We met before," the man greeted with a smile.

"Junior Brother Shang, of course, I remember," Lu Xun responded with a polite nod.

"I have some confusions about my alchemy practice. I just ran into you and thought I could ask for some advice, if it’s convenient," Shang Ziliang requested.

Lu Xun glanced back at Chu Liang and the kid who were happily playing. Considering it not of importance, he turned back to Shang Ziliang and said, "Please feel free to ask, Junior Brother Shang, if I know the answer, I’ll certainly reply."

That’s how Lu Xun and Shang Ziliang got engaged in conversation.

Meanwhile, another streak of white light fell from the sky from afar. It rushed towards them, revealing a mythical Spirit Beast that had a horse-like body, deer-like horns, and dragon-like scales. Its silver-white color heralded that it was a Baize cub.

"Do you know it?" Chu Liang called to the kid, pointing to the approaching Spirit Beast.

"Grandpa Zeng told me that it was called a Baize and that I should stay away from it ..." Chen Lingtong said.

"Baize is also a Spirit Beast that loves to play with humans. There’s no need to be afraid," Chu Liang smiled, "Let’s greet it together!"

"Okay!" Chen Lingtong picked up a large rock and hurled it toward the Baize cub’s head.

Bang.

The stone hit the Baize cub squarely on its head as it was running joyfully towards them, it stopped abruptly, staring at the bratty kid next to Chu Liang, stupefied.

"It seems to think you’re not enthusiastic enough," Chu Liang whispered.

Without another word, Chen Lingtong picked up an even larger stone and threw it with all his strength.

Whooosh.

This time, the Baize cub wasn’t hit by the stone. Instead, it transformed into a white residual image, rushing at them with great speed.

Interestingly, the bratty kid ended up experiencing the Baize cub’s fervor instead.

Boom.

The Baize cub appeared at Chu Liang’s side instantly. The bratty kid, who was previously there, was sent flying a good few dozens of yards by the Baize cub’s powerful head butt. He let out a long "aahhhh-" as he flew into the distance, turning into a tiny dot in the sky.

Chu Liang placed his hand above his eyes as a visor, squinting at the boy flying off into the distance. He flew really high...

Lu Xun glared at Chu Liang, his eyes nearly bursting with anger.

Sure enough, whenever this brat appeared, there’s bound to be trouble!
