Chapter 600: Chapter 607: Yang is really a great benevolent! (Fifth update)
Everyone’s eyes practically popped out as they watched the two great Saint Lords, Yang Zhen, and the two fellows, Cheap Cat and Saucy Chicken, squatting and sitting around a small stove, each holding two skewers of roasted lamb meat.
Damn it, what kind of scene was this?
Who could have imagined that these high and mighty Saint Lords would squat before them like this, completely disregarding their image as they enjoyed skewers and drinks?
Moreover, they were within a place where the Sacred Law strictly forbade such things. Elder Quan was already breaking a sweat trying to lift the ban. As leaders of this operation, the two Saint Lords were behaving so… so ridiculously?
All this, was due to Yang Zhen!
Yang Zhen’s barbecue must not be as simple as it seemed. What kind of magical barbecue could turn the image-conscious Saint Lords of two sacred lands into such a state?
It wasn’t until Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, two incredibly beautiful women, were also pulled by Yang Zhen to sit on the stool and start eating lamb skewers while runes of heaven and earth emitted from their bodies, forming a barrier against the True Essence wind, did everyone finally react. They cried out in surprise and rushed towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen slapped the heads of Cheap Cat and Saucy Chicken, saying, “Enough! You two are eating too fast. And you, a chicken eating lamb skewers? Why don’t you try flying up to heaven?”
“To heaven?” The Saucy Chicken looked at Yang Zhen with confusion.
Yang Zhen was taken aback. Damn it, that bastard could actually fly to heaven.
The Saucy Chicken, along with Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, had somehow evolved to the point where they could morph into their true form, with wings so massive that it covered the sky. This actually made Yang Zhen less interested in the wings of Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain.
Even if one had wings, they couldn’t possibly be as cool as whizzing through the sky on top of the Saucy Chicken.
Yang Zhen gave Saucy Chicken a mischievous look. He said to the bewildered pair, “Do you really think this Saucy Saint is so idle as to barbecue at this time?”
At this point, Yang Zhen pointed to the practitioners still fluttering in the wind and said, “You two, look at these fellow practitioners, still floating outside. Doesn’t it tug at your heartstrings?”
Before Cheap Cat and Saucy Chicken could speak, Yang Zhen suddenly stood up and addressed the crowd, “Everyone, as you have seen, this Dirty Detachment Gang’s lamb skewers embody the essence of heaven and earth. They can trigger the self-protection mechanism within a practitioner’s body. Yes, you haven’t misheard. These seemingly magic shields are a natural self-protection mechanism within our human bodies!”
“What?”
“Impossible. How can such a powerful formation be within a practitioner’s body? Yang Zhen, you are not trying to fool us, are you?”
“You must be joking. If such a powerful prohibition was within us, wouldn’t we have sensed it?”
The crowd looked blankly at Yang Zhen. Many people shifted their gaze back to the two great Saint Lords of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain and the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. Adding to that the magic inscriptions on Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, someone immediately shouted.
“Have you noticed? The prohibitions on the two Holy Lords and the ladies are all different!”
“What? So, could it be that this lamb… skewer can indeed trigger a practitioner’s self-protection mechanism?”
“Yang Zhen, can you also give me one to eat?”
“And me, and me, Yang Zhen, we can’t hold on much longer. Those of you on the flying boats should take care of us who don’t have them first.”
…
The crowd spoke one after another, making it as lively as a marketplace.
The actions of the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord and the Heavenly Spring Saint Lord paused as they clinked their glasses, and they turned to look at Yang Zhen with a weird look on their faces, speaking in unison, “These are for sale too?”
Before Yang Zhen could speak, Cheap Cat struck the gong again with a loud crash.
“The two bosses have got it right! As long as there are enough crystals, there’s nothing our Boss Yang won’t sell. If any of you need ‘moral integrity’, Boss Yang has said he’s willing to give you an 80% discount!”
“This… Cheap Cat, what is ‘moral integrity’?”
The crowd gave Cheap Cat a bewildered look. Although they didn’t know what ‘moral integrity’ was, they all understood the sentiment of Yang Zhen selling anything.
It seemed that this bastard Yang Zhen would resort to anything to earn crystals. No wonder no one had ever heard of Yang Zhen lacking anything. With these methods of making money during such a time, how could he ever be short on anything?
Almost everyone rushed forward, taking all the frozen mutton that Yang Zhen had prepared six months ago. Then one by one, each of them put on a big luminous shield and went off.
Luckily, they hadn’t had the chance to throw away this meat!
As people stood in the gang wind, the powerful Heaven and Earth True Essence wind was unable to move the shields on their bodies. Everyone had a surprised and delighted expression on their faces.
Elder Quan was so furious that his face turned black. He was desperately trying to break the restriction below, while Yang Zhen and the others were feasting and enjoying on the flying ship?
If it was only Yang Zhen, it would be understandable. Yang Zhen has always been like this, doing things eccentrically and unfathomably. No one knew what he would do next.
But what Elder Quan couldn’t understand was that even the Saint Lords of the two sacred lands, were sitting next to Yang Zhen, even helping him collect crystal stones!
‘God!’ Elder Quan really wanted to loosen his grip, go up there, and have a few skewers of mutton, followed by a bowl of wine.
No, the more he thought about it, the hungrier he got.
“Everyone! Everyone!”
At this time, an aged rogue practitioner suddenly stood up and spoke. Everyone was taken aback and turned their gazes upon the old man.
The old man saluted everyone and spoke, “None of us expected someone to enter the ancient ruins ahead of us. If it were not for young friend Yang Zhen, we would have lost many people here today. Although Yang Zhen symbolically collected some purple crystals from us, who among us would lack a few purple crystals?”
Hearing this, everyone paused, and then thought it made sense. Everyone present was a strong practitioner and had savings.
If it hadn’t been for Yang Zhen’s mutton skewers, everyone would be still struggling in the middle of the wind like kites. Now everyone could comfortably stand mid-air, watching Elder Quan try to break the restriction – all thanks to Yang Zhen.
When they thought about it, everyone felt a little relieved, and their glances at Yang Zhen were not filled with animosity anymore.
At that moment, the old man continued, “Now we still don’t know who those people who entered are. With each moment Elder Quan cannot break the restriction, it’s one more moment we cannot enter. Young friend Yang Zhen has been extraordinarily benevolent and has already done a lot for us. Now, we should all go down and find a way to assist Elder Quan. We can break the restriction early and enter the ancient ruins. What do you all think?”
“It should indeed be so. Yang Zhen solved our worries. We should strive to break the formation. Elder Quan, if you need anything else, feel free to ask!”
“Indeed, that’s right. This elder is talking sense. Elder Quan, if there is anything you need, just speak up!”
Yang Zhen looked gratefully at everyone, seeming like a picture of naive honesty. He was so grateful he almost began to cry. He immediately returned fellow practitioners’ salutes.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen, even more convinced of the old man’s words.
Yang Zhen was indeed a kind and selfless person!
“Everyone, everyone, although I am not as kind and selfless as the elder said, however, I could not bear to watch everyone suffer in the wind, so… everything is in the crystal stones!”
Yang Zhen bowed and spoke to everyone.
Everyone immediately burst into laughter. Between the jokes and praises, they held Yang Zhen in high esteem.
A shifty looking cat sneaked onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder, curiously asking, “Motherfucker, is that what you’re really thinking?”
Yang Zhen shot the rascal cat a glance, whispering, “Just hear it, don’t take it seriously. Helping them is real, but…”
The rascal cat made a strange laugh, “Your lordship knew you were up to no good!”
“Bullshit!” Yang Zhen glared at it, loudly cursing, “Why don’t you have any conscience at all?”
The rascal cat made a face, saying, “Liar, continue lying. If you dare to say it outright!”
“If I say it… oh, it’s about to burn!”
“Damn, hurry up, hurry up!”
