Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After they left the palace, Ling Qinfeng told Chen Xiaobei, “I can’t help you with this one. I would need to pick my family’s treasury clean to get 100 catties of Earth-G.o.d grade material!”
“I understand…” Chen Xiaobei said. “This matter is extremely inconvenient, especially since we are not in the Earth-G.o.d realm…”
“I know right.” Ling Qingfeng agreed. “We’ll see. It would be a pretty impressive situation even if only a third of the compet.i.tors return after seven days!”
“Well, I better not keep you. You should return to Dragon G.o.d Starfield. See you when I see you!” Chen Xiaobei bid her farewell.
“Mm, I hope I can see you after seven days!”
After Ling Qingfeng left, Chen Xiaobei wandered around the streets of Saint Duke’s Imperial City alone but he was not in the mood to experience the city’s charm and business. His mind was too preoccupied with figuring out where to find so many Earth-G.o.d grade materials.
Money? Impossible…
The dinner last night had already cost 10,000 Spiritual Stones! Buying Earth-G.o.d grade materials would probably cost up to 1 billion! With the amount of Spiritual Stones Chen Xiaobei had, he could barely even afford one or two catties, much less 100 catties!
Ask for Diao Chan’s help? No…
Diao Chan was just a new kid on the block in the Earth-G.o.d realm. She had barely even settled down and was already helping him keep an eye out for Little Fox. She did not have time or energy to spare to help him find Earth-G.o.d grade materials.
“It looks like my only hope is the Three Realms Red Envelope group!” Chen Xiaobei frowned. “The first elimination round ends in seven days. Qixi Festival is on the sixth day… There’s going to be a Red Envelope s.n.a.t.c.hing session… I got it!”
Chen Xiaobei took out his phone as he walked, checking in to the Brotherhood group.
Chen Xiaobei: Brothers! Are you all here? I would like to ask for a favor from you!
Monkey King: Just tell us! We’re brothers! There’s no need for all that formality!
Yanw.a.n.g: Yeah! We’re brothers! You don’t have to explain yourself! Just tell us what you need!
Chen Xiaobei: There will be a Qixi festival Red Envelope s.n.a.t.c.hing session in six days. Can you guys please send Earth-G.o.d grade materials in your Red Envelopes?
Xiao Tianquan: Earth-G.o.d grade material? G.o.d Chen, why would you need that rubbish?
Chen Xiaobei: ? That’s trash to you deities, but to us common people, they are treasures!
G.o.ddess Chang’e: That should be easy. We can all send out Red Envelopes filled to the brim with Earth-G.o.d grade materials. The problem is, a lot of people are involved in the s.n.a.t.c.hing session… You might not be able to get them…
Monkey King: Why go through all that trouble? There are Earth-G.o.d grade materials everywhere in the heavenly realm! I can just send a Red Envelope to you!”
Yanw.a.n.g: No! Monkey King! You cannot!
Monkey King: Why not?
Yanw.a.n.g: Just yesterday, Qianliyan sent Xiaobei a G.o.d’s Eye Talisman, and Shen Gongpao found out about it! He made Qianliyan pay 3 million merit points as a penalty! If it were not for the fact that the Celestial Court still needed Qianliyan in the upcoming calamity, Shen Gongpao would’ve put him into prison!
Chen Xiaobei: What? Really? Bro Yanw.a.n.g, are you sure this is true?
Xiao Tianquan: One hundred percent true! Ever since Sheng Gongpao lost in the King of Glory compet.i.tion, he has been looking for a chance to get his revenge! Yesterday, G.o.d Erlang had to accompany them to catch Qianliyan!
Chen Xiaobei: That’s strange! This is such a big matter – why didn’t Qianliyan tell me about it?
Yanw.a.n.g: Don’t underestimate Qianliyan. He may not hold a high position in the Celestial Court but he is very loyal! He had claimed full responsibility!
Monkey King: That tyke of a Shen Gongpao! He just likes bullying honest people! I am not afraid of him! Xiaobei, hang on for a minute! I’ll go find some Earth-G.o.d grade materials now!
Xiao Tianquan: Monkey King! Don’t be foolis.h.!.+ Shen Gongpao has already reported the matter to the Primordial Lord of Heaven! Right now, The Six Saints are listening to the Ancestral Lord’s sermon! If you anything wrong now, the Primordial Lord of Heaven will take the opportunity to make a fuss and clamp down on Lady Nuwo!
Monkey King: I…?
Chen Xiaobei: Monkey King! Everyone! Listen up! Please don’t do anything ras.h.!.+ The Qixi Festival begins in six days! You’ll just need to send the Earth-G.o.d grade materials in the Red Envelopes. I only need to get one to be able to complete the task! There’s no need for all of you to take such risks!
Monkey King: Alright … I may not be afraid of getting in trouble, but I cannot let anything happen to sister Nuwo… I’ll just wait until Qixi festival then!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! That’s settled then! I will pay Qianliyan back; all the 3 million merit points! He’s loyal , and I cannot be so unreasonable!
Xiao Tianquan: Don’t! Jieism and Chanism are not on good terms, and Qianliyan didn’t contact you to avoid arousing suspicion! If you sent him merit points at this point of time, you’re only going to do him more harm than good!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright… I will always remember this his kindness. I will pay him back next time, when I get the chance!
Xiao Tianquan: Don’t worry! Qianliyan is very generous. I heard that you gave him some world cla.s.s delicacies. It seems it was worth the punishment!
Yanw.a.n.g: Delicacy? What delicacy? ?
Chen Xiaobei: Haha, that’s a secret for now! Won’t there be a gourmet food compet.i.tion after the mid-autumn festival? I’m planning to enter the compet.i.tion with that dis.h.!.+
Yanw.a.n.g: You’re making me really hungry! ???
Chen Xiaobei: Be patient. That is my secret weapon!
Monkey King: Yeah! Just reign it in first. Don’t ruin Xiaobei’s plan!
Yanw.a.n.g: Alright! Alright! I’ll wait… I really hope I can speed up time so the compet.i.tion can take place as soon as possible!
Chen Xiaobei: Haha! Don’t worry! You will have your fill then! I have some things I need to attend to. Talk to you again soon!
After he put his phone away, Chen Xiaobei suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He was walking and typing away, and had eventually, without him even knowing it walked into a secluded street corner.
Twenty or more men had gathered around him.
Two men emerged from the group.
The first person was dressed in white holding a white fan with an air of aristocracy about him. He was the Fu Zhiyun that Chen Xiaobei met in Boulder Planet yesterday!
The other person had rags for clothes, and his body was covered in wounds; his face swollen. He had clearly been beaten up fairly recently.
“Bro Huo!” Chen Xiaobei recognized the person immediately.
That was none other than the Bro Huo who had so kindly helped Chen Xiaobei back in Boulder Planet!
Even though Chen Xiaobei had made sure that Bro Huo kept his distance so that he would not be compromised, he had still unintentionally become the victim of the enemy’s grudge!
Chen Xiaobei quickly grabbed Bro Huo and retreated.
“Bro Huo! Take this medication!”
Chen XIaobei took out a Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill and some healing Spiritual Medicine.
“Thank you… Thank you, doctor…” Bro Huo nodded weakly. After he took the medicine, he was pleasantly surprised. “Good heavens! What have you given me? I could feel my injuries healing gradually!”
“Alright. Enough talking. You need to rest!” Chen Xiaobei turned around to face the other person, his eyes were dark with anger. “Hey, Fu! How would you like to die?”
