âSpi⦠Spiritual Iâ¦temâ¦â
Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Dingâaoâs face turned a hideous shade of green.
They had promised to give Chen Xiaobei their Spiritual Items after he saved them.
But all Chen Xiaobei did was stand in front of them. He did not even lift a finger at all!
How could they allow him take their Spiritual Items just like that?
If two Spiritual Items had been tossed into Jianghu, it would cause a carnage; a vicious bloodbath. Chen Xiaobei however, only had to stand in front of Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Dingâao to be able to get his hands on them!
The thought of it drove Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Dingâao mad!
It was aggravating!
But their current physical condition put them in a vulnerable position. At their current state, there was no way that they would have the gut to lie to Chen Xiaobei.
âTh.. Thi⦠This is Kunlun Qingqiu Sword. Itâs been in our faction for centuries.â Zhou Xiaokun plucked the sword from waist, his face tainted with pain.
Chen Xiaobei grabbed the knife from him. âJust give it to me! I donât need to hear your explanation!â
âIâ¦â
Had Zhou Xiaokun been a live volcano, there would have been smoke coming out of his ears. He wanted to pounce on Chen Xiaobei and sink his teeth into his enemy but he did not have the guts to do it.
âMy darling wife! This is a Three-star Spiritual Item. Here, take it for your own protection.â Chen Xiaobei handed the Qingqiu Sword to Luo Puti.
There was a deafening silence as the stunned audience watched the exchange.
That was a Three-star Spiritual Item! How could he just give it away like that? He did not even flinch!
How could he treat the Three-star Spiritual Item like it was just another ordinary thing?!
âIt⦠Itâs too valuable. I canât take it.â Luo Puti refused.
âValuable my ass!â Chen Xiaobei scoffed. âThis is merely substandard. Iâm giving it to you for temporary use. Iâll give you a better one when your cultivation grows higher!â
âWhat?! Temporary use?!â
Zhou Xiaokun felt like someone had just kicked him in the groin.
His precious Qingqiu Sword was substandard to Chen Xiaobei?!
That was a massive blow to his pride!
Even all those around them felt that Chen Xiaobei was just full of himself!
Only the young master of Kunlun could bear the magnificent Qingqiu Sword.
If Chen Xiaobeiâs snide remark about it was not meant to be pretentious, then what was it?
They were unaware that Chen Xiaobei had Spiritual Items aplenty. He even had those unparalleled powerful weapons like the Blood Chaos Sword, and the Dragonâs Edge with him!
Chen Xiaobei even felt like the Hundred Ghosts Parade painting and Asura Divine Mirror that he got on Duanwu festival was pretty useless.
Who could then blame him for his disregarding this mere Three-star Qingqiu Sword?
Luo Puti, on the other hand, did not think Chen Xiaobei was being a little over the top, as he had once gifted her something even more superior than a Spiritual Item!
It has not left her sight since, except for showers; Luo Puti wore it everywhere!
It was the bellyband that Zhu Bajie stole â that god knows how â from Goddess Qinglian!
Althought the bellyband had no special ability which strictly speaking does not make it an Item, however because it was made of Divine Item materials, it was more superior than Spiritual Items!
As Chen Xiaobei had given the Qinglian Bellyband to Luo Puti, this Three-star spiritual item was just a small token.
âWhat about you?â Chen Xiaobei looked at Ding Dingâao with his eyes narrowed.
âIâ¦â
Ding Dingâao looked wretched. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to surrender his Spiritual Item. It was a white flute.
Chen Xiaobei took it from Ding Dingâao and thorougly examined it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWow!â Chen Xiaobei wore a look on his face, filled with ridicule. âWhat a rubbish toy! A Two-star Spiritual Item that summons venomous bugs and snakes? The f*ck for?â
He said this only because he had immunity towards venomous bugs and snakes.
The flute was like the mother of all junks to Chen Xiaobei.
âBlarrrgh!â Ding Dingâao was so nettled by the comment, blood oozed from his lips. His face was a sallow green.
This flute was called the Poison Kingâs Skeletal Flute.
It could be used to summon all venomous creatures to attack the enemy in a swarm. The enemy could die of poisoning! Most elites would flee as far as they could!
Ding Dingâao had used Poison Kingâs Skeletal Flute to kill, if not a thousand, at least 800 people.
But to Chen Xiaobei, it was a toy for children?
That was massive blow to Ding Dingâaoâs ego!
âAlright. Now that the evil spirits are gone, you can all go down and drink to your heartâs content!â Chen Xiaobei signalled for them to descend the stairs.
The news was like a melody to their ears.
They shoved and pushed to make their way down the steps.
Even Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Dingâao were in no mood to argue with Chen Xiaobei. They practically flew down the steps and dove into the water.
âMaster Zhuo! Go take care of them. If anything happens, just call out to me. I need to talk to my wife in private!â Chen Xiaobei told Zhuo Qunfeng.
âAlright!â Zhuo Qunfeng now saw Chen Xiaobei as his mainstay and was willing to obey everything Chen Xiaobei said.
âWhat is it you wanted to talk to me about?â Luo Puti asked.
âThe rest of the journey will be even more dangerous for you. I am thinking of sending you back to Bei Xuan. I will continue this on my own.â Chen Xiaobei said.
âNo way!â Luo Puti was defiant. âI came here to find my parents! This has been my long-standing wish for so long, itâs what drives me! I cannot give up halfway!â
âPlease listen to what I have to say first! I used the salamander king to speak with the evil spirits and found out that thereâs another tens of thousands of miles ahead of us! There are at least 3,000 evil spirits like that! And thereâs also the Chiliad Spirits Formation over there and 12 priests on guard. I have a feeling that things might be beyond my control and Iâm afraid if I wonât be able to protect you.â
Luo Putiâs forehead creased. âI know. I am too weak. I canât even help you. Iâm just a burden to you.â
âNo! Thatâs not what I meant! I am just worried about your safety!â
âYou donât have to explain. I donât blame you. I know that Iâm not powerful enough. But you need to also know that finding my parents is my own personal matter. Even without your help, I will still stubbornly press on! Should I have to die, at least I have tried to find that sole answer!â
Chen Xiaobei opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.
âI have to know. Why my parents abandoned me without so much as a goodbye!â Luo Puti enunciated every word when she repeated, âI HAVE TO KNOW!â
