“A month, you say?” Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue and nodded, “I could use this month to take care of some business as well. Let’s meet again in a month then!”
As he spoke, Yang Zhen grabbed a bunch of storage rings from the base cat’s neck and stuffed them into Hua Youyue’s hands, “Here, take these. They’ll be handy during your cultivation!”
Hiss!
Everyone around couldn’t help but gasp. They didn’t exactly know what was inside the storage rings from the base cat’s neck, but knowing how the base cat was, they were sure it was something valuable.
“Damn it, kid, you already have plenty of storage rings. Why are you giving away my stuff?”
The base cat was furious and dashed forward to retrieve them.
Yang Zhen lifted the base cat in one swoop and growled, “Freaking hell, it’s not a big deal for me, the Sao Saint, to take some of your things. Or do you care to tally up how much of this stuff you had swiped from me while I was risking my life, and how much you had stolen directly from me?”
“I don’t care about any of that!” Dismissing its shame, the base cat barked defiantly, “You call that riskingyour life? Enlighten me, when did you ever risk your life?”
The audience couldn’t help but nod in agreement. Yang Zhen, the damn rascal, always made it look like he was risking his life. Everyone would be scared out of their wits, but in the end, they all realized they were played by Yang Zhen.
Even when confronted with a Practitioner at the Divine Travel Stage, Yang Zhen seemed to have a plan all along. This sly bastard never provoked anyone he couldn’t handle.
Seeing the looks he was getting, Yang Zhen uttered an annoyed curse.
“You bunch are defaming me! When have I, the Sao Saint, not risked my life?”
“When were you ever risking your life?”
Yang Zhen was speechless, “Anyway, I am the one who contributed the most!”
“You’re the most shameless one!”
Damn it!
Yang Zhen tossed the base cat aside. In retrospect, he hadn’t really had any close calls with death.
The base cat ran back screeching, looking ready to pick a fight with Yang Zhen.
Just then, Hua Youyue chuckled and returned the storage rings to Yang Zhen, “Enough quarreling. I won’t be needing these items.”
Not needing them?
The surrounding people were stunned by her comment. Yang Zhen was equally puzzled, starring at Hua Youyue with a bewildered expression, “Are you sure you won’t need them?”
That was odd. Every practitioner needed precious resources for cultivation. Hua Youyue had just recovered her spiritual root and her talent was on the rise. With her current speed in cultivation, how could she possibly say she wouldn’t need these resources?
Yang Zhen continued to probe Hua Youyue’s eyes as if trying to see through her.
But he failed to do so. Her eyes were as pure and clear as a body of water, without any trace of complex emotions.
Sensing Yang Zhen’s gaze, Hua Youyue smiled and shook her head, “Relax, I really don’t need them. If need be, I’ll askyou.”
Yang Zhen nodded half-heartedly. Somehow, he had some lingering uncertainty.
Don’t be shy to speak up about your needs, young lady. We’re friends, aren’t we?”
Hua Youyue nodded lightly, “I understand.”
With that, Yang Zhen did not press further, although he looked at Hua Youyue somewhat perplexed.
How will she cultivate?
By now, the three elders had no other issues. All they had left were sighs of admiration.
Hua Youyue successfully defied her fate, attracting a heavenly tribulation Although the tribulation wasn’t as terrifying as those faced by practitioners at the Tribulation Crossing Period, it was not something a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner could withstand.
In other words, the heavenly tribulation they sensed must have been blocked by
Yang Zhen using some special method. The marvelous spectacle filled with floral fragrance was undoubtedly caused by Hua Youyue’s Heavenly Fragrance Holy Root.
Gazing at Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue, the trio nodded at each other, their eyes full of astonishment.
With a growing fondness, the master smiled at Yang Zhen and asked, “What do you plan to do in the coming month?”
Yang Zhen glanced at the master and the two elders then turned to the master and said, “I know I’m unique with my handsome looks and eloquent speech, and the three of you old geezers are all eager to take me as your disciple. I’m up for it too, but ‘He that has a great charge laid upon him ought first to suffer many hardships.1…”
And here an entire section is skipped!
“…you should know, I bear the great responsibility of saving the world, so for this month, I plan to roam the world, with my wine and sword as my only company…”
Everyone was baffled, even Hua Youyue couldn’t help but smirk.
However, the sly cat’s eyes lit up with excitement as he said, “This is great roaming the world, with the sword and wine as a home, just like when I…” ’
“Shut up!” Yang Zhen grabbed the sly cat and said, “Ladies and gents, see you around!”
With that, Yang Zhen walked away, leaving everyone standing, dumbfounded.
News of Yang Zhen’s legendary actions spread rapidly across the East Sea. His sketches of a phoenix and a tiger on Turtle and Serpent Island captivated thousands. Although Yang Zhen’s phoenix looked more like a chicken and his tiger closely resembled the sly cat, even after contemplation, no one could deny that his artistic genius was unquestionable.
Afterward, Yang Zhen stirred up a storm in Shanggeng Mirror World on East Forest Island, and caused a sensation on Wanhua Island with the Sea Dragon Clan. He even opened up the Dragon Palace in the East Sea, making countless people gasp in awe.
Most importantly, rumor had it that Yang Zhen not only didn’t take any inheritance from the Eastern Desolation Emperor, but he also left plenty of his own with the sly cat.
This news set everyone’s hearts racing.
Leaving aside the coveted inheritance left behind by the Eastern Desolation
Emperor, even the heritage left by Yang Zhen, the genius…” the rogue genius, and the limping, sly cat was alluring.
Everyone was wondering why Yang Zhen could be so careless and how the sly cat could resist blades and swords. With their heritage embedded in the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s inheritance, they must be hiding something. If not, how could they hope to create a lasting legacy?
As these rumors spread, more and more Practitioners started to get excited and eager. Many set sail for the East Sea, hoping to find the legendary treasure.
This treasure was dubbed by some as the “One Piece!”
Just the name was enough to set hearts racing.
And so, the great sea expedition among the practitioners began.
In Flame City, the sly cat listened attentively to the ongoing chatter in an alleyway. With his eyes shining brightly, he turned to Yang Zhen and asked excitedly, “Hey kiddo, we’re almost done with Flame City. What’s our next destination?”
Yang Zhen gazed into the southwest, taking a deep breath and said, “Nether
Sun Country, White Cloud Mountain!”
Huh? What’s this place? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
“It’s a place where a genius emerged. One day, there was a loud noise in the
sky, and an ultra-ultra-ultra genius fell from the heavens!”
Damn, you consider someone else a genius? I find that hard to believe.”
“Would this Sao Saint lie to you?”
“Then let’s see this genius you’re talking about.”
