Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Can Only Blame His Itchy Fingers

So, by the time Chaoyan awoke from his enlightenment,

Xie Jiuniang had advanced another level, reaching the seventh layer of Golden Core.

Pulang’s injuries had also healed. The Vermilion Bird’s burning not only purged the blood poison but also improved his body beyond its previous condition, repairing damages from over the years.

Moreover, in this period, Xie Jiuniang, not being stingy, let him pick whatever he needed from the storehouses raided from the Gongsun Family and the Ao Family, and on top of that, allowed him to seek fortunes in Little Fatty’s treasury.

One could only say that Pulang was unlucky.

He didn’t encounter any fortunes in Little Fatty’s treasure vault and was thrown out after just one day.

"Let me go in one more time?" Pulang was now exceedingly ingratiating towards Little Fatty, short of kowtowing to him as a grandchild.

Little Fatty vigorously shook his head, "No no, bad, wall."

Chaoyan listened on the side, thoroughly confused.

Jian Lingyan chuckled beside him, laughing like a clucking hen.

Chaoyan gave the strange Broken Sword several glances, only then noticing that the Vermilion Bird had fallen into slumber. It was just a meditation session, wasn’t it?

What had happened during this time?

Xie Jiuniang, however, knew the reason.

Pulang was thrown out by Little Fatty for accidentally damaging a wall inside. According to Pulang, it was just ruins, and he had unconsciously touched a wall.

That wall had already been teetering on the verge of collapse.

It was his own fault for being handsy and touching the wall.

That touch had led to trouble; Little Fatty said he damaged a wall and banned him from staying in the treasure vault.

Jian Lingyan commented, "Pulang is just too handsy. What was he doing touching the wall for no reason? Doesn’t he know that Little Fatty cherishes the buildings inside? He treasures every brick and tile immensely."

"He was a bit too handsy." Xie Jiuniang agreed.

Outwardly she said this, but inwardly she was laughing herself silly.

Little Fatty didn’t have any special hobbies, only cherishing the buildings inside; even if there were hardly any left, the less there was, the more he treasured them, as if by doing so he could hold onto the glory of the past.

Chaoyan approached his little disciple, "My disciple, what happened here?"

Xie Jiuniang explained the situation in great detail.

Chaoyan lifted Little Fatty up, drawing him close, and coaxed kindly, "My child, don’t be angry. If he damaged one of your walls, let him fix two for you. With one extra wall, you’ll have made a gain. If he doesn’t fix it, I will, and I’ll do more than fix a wall for you. I’ll build you a majestic grand palace and even erect a beautiful statue for you inside. That way, it’ll be clear who the master of the palace is..."

Originally sulking, Little Fatty’s eyes began to sparkle, and his chubby arms, looking like lotus roots, affectionately embraced Chaoyan’s arm. "Palace, grand palace, statue! Pretty!"

This time, Chaoyan didn’t need Xie Jiuniang to translate.

He understood; Little Fatty wanted a grand palace, a beautiful statue.

Watching Little Fatty be persuaded, Xie Jiuniang could no longer bear to watch, thinking how naive the little Artifact Spirit was.

Pulang gazed at Little Fatty with bright eyes.

He had previously realized that Little Fatty was an Artifact Spirit but didn’t know what kind until Xie Jiuniang sent him to seek fortune from Little Fatty. That’s when he discovered what Little Fatty was.

This was a walking fortune vault!

And what’s more, a transformed Artifact Spirit was surely an Immortal Artifact, wasn’t it?

Pulang, hearing that Chaoyan had nearly talked Little Fatty around, stepped forward and repeatedly promised to build a beautiful grand palace for Little Fatty, finally gaining his permission.

"Palace, have, again," Little Fatty waved his hand and said.

Snort.

Xie Jiuniang chuckled, "He says to build the palace first, then he’ll let you in again."

Little Fatty puffed out his little chest, indicating Xie Jiuniang was right.

After that, Xie Jiuniang didn’t pay much attention anymore, discussing with Chaoyan how to get rid of Nangong Dou.

During this time, Nangong Dou hadn’t given up and somehow became convinced, firmly believing they were still nearby. He not only stationed himself in the vicinity but also summoned several Divinity Transformation cultivators.

They adopted a carpet search approach.

The island at the center of the lake retained a trace of their presence.

Now, under an exploratory strike from one of the Divinity Transformation cultivators, the island at the center of the lake vanished.

Chaoyan proposed, "I’ll go out and lead them away, and you can take the chance to leave and quickly return to the Sect."

"No, that’s way too dangerous," Xie Jiuniang shook her head.

The people outside had gone mad with killing, long since losing the precautions of the past.

Chaoyan added, "What about using the Miles Teleportation Talisman? We can leave this place first and then see."

The Miles Teleportation Talisman is currently the highest-grade talisman in the Cultivation World, only a ninth-order Talisman Master can make it.

Once activated, it can teleport one thousands of miles away.

The biggest problem is that the location is random.

One must gamble on their luck!

Chaoyan, thinking of his disciple’s fortune, suddenly felt this was a very good idea, and he took out a Miles Teleportation Talisman, "Disciple, take this."

This Miles Teleportation Talisman can only teleport one person at a time.

Chaoyan happened to have one on him, so he passed it to his disciple, "Your Uncle Pulang and I will just stay in your little space for now."

"No need, I have some here."

Xie Jiuniang didn’t reach out to take it but instead pulled out a small stack, with at least a dozen of them.

Chaoyan’s eyelids twitched, "Where did you get these?"

"They were provided by the Gongsun Family and the Ao Family; these are from their storages of over a thousand years," Xie Jiuniang didn’t hide it from Pulang.

Chaoyan’s gaze darted towards Pulang.

Pulang forced himself not to panic and said calmly, "I am a retainer and would not betray my lord."

Chaoyan silently withdrew his gaze.

Xie Jiuniang smiled without saying a word.

Since she had used the Great Sun Golden Flame, there was no hiding the Gongsun Family’s affair. Moreover, no one would believe that the Gongsun Family’s troubles weren’t mixed with outsiders.

After all, some people who escaped from the Gongsun Family soon showed signs of dissipating spiritual energy.

Some Medical Cultivators had diagnosed it as accidental ingestion of Soul Transforming Pills.

Xie Jiuniang took out two talismans and stuffed them into Chaoyan’s hands, "Master, take these for safety."

Chaoyan was both amused and exasperated, "I have my own; I don’t need them."

"Just having one isn’t enough," Xie Jiuniang said worriedly.

Chaoyan was her strongest support.

The Main Peak stood by her side largely because of Chaoyan.

Chaoyan couldn’t refuse anymore and reluctantly accepted them.

Xie Jiuniang hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly handed one more to Pulang.

That reluctant gesture gave Pulang a heavy heart.

Was this the difference between one’s own people and outsiders?

Chaoyan said cheerfully, "My disciple is giving it to you, just accept it for your safety."

"Thank you, my lord," Pulang happily accepted it. "If I had one earlier, I wouldn’t have been driven by Nangong Dou to the point of nearly self-destructing several times."

Xie Jiuniang found that very reasonable.

Then, Xie Jiuniang said, "I’ll check to see if it’s safe outside."

Immediately, she activated the Time Leaf in her Sea of Consciousness, and a silver silhouette spontaneously emerged in front of her. Xie Jiuniang stepped into the silver light.

Chaoyan wasn’t seeing this for the first time and was quite unaffected.

Pulang, for whom it was his first time, was unsettled, "This, this is..."

Chaoyan said indifferently, "It’s just the Law of Time, nothing to be surprised about. Even I wasn’t as flustered as you when I first saw it."

Pulang silently averted his gaze from the man who pretended to be unperturbed.

If he hadn’t known that the man had only achieved Divinity Transformation just over ten years ago, he would have believed his bluff.
