“A question? What do you want to ask?” Lu Gang eyed Chen Xiaobei cautiously, worried that Chen Xiaobei might be pulling some sort of trick.


Chen Xiaobei replied, “I want to ask a question that only Mengcheng and I know the answer to. If she’s a fake, she would never be able to answer it!”


“Are you telling the truth?” Lu Gang narrowed his eyes, wringing one hand nervously with another still on the woman’s throat.


Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I only need one question to determine the truth. What do you have to worry about? If she’s the real Mengcheng, I am willing to do anything for her! I would even die for her!”


“Heh, you really are one affectionate stud. No wonder all those women flock around you!” Lu Gang smiled. “Go ahead and ask then! When you’ve gotten your proof, then you’ll have to do as I say!”


As Lu Gang was confident enough to allow Chen Xiaobei to ask this question, it was evident that the Mengcheng that Lu Gang held hostage could be the real Lan Mengcheng indeed.


Once Chen Xiaobei confirmed Lan Mengcheng’s ident.i.ty, Lu Gang would have Chen Xiaobei’s life in his hands. It was obvious that he could do as he pleased to Chen Xiaobei!


“Mengcheng, I’ll ask you a question! Think very carefully before you answer!” Chen Xiaobei turned to Lan Mengcheng.


As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei took out the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd, and uncorked it.


“Hey dimwit! What are you doing? Why are you using a Spiritual Instrument? Do you want to see your girl die?!” Lu Gang was being extremely cautious, and quickly tightened his fingers around Lan Mengcheng’s throat.


“Hold on! This is just a normal gourd!” Chen Xiaobei held out his hand in protest while he lied. “The question I want to ask has to do with this gourd!”


“A normal gourd?” Lu Gang stared at the thing for a long while before nodding. “Fine! Go ahead and ask! I have her in my hands anyway! If I’m going to die, at least we’ll die together!”


“Don’t worry! I won’t let Lan Mengcheng die!” Chen Xiaobei looked at Lan Mengcheng. “Mengcheng, look at this gourd. Are you’re willing to enter the gourd with me?”


Lan Mengcheng looked at Chen Xiaobei as if he had gone mad. She thought that he was really about to ask a question that only both of them knew the answer to.


She had not expected him to come up with such a weird question.


Although she was very intelligent, right now, she had no idea how to answer the question.


When he saw this, Lu Gang began to panic. “Hey girl! Answer quickly! You are the real Lan Mengcheng! Don’t act dumb or I’ll rip your face off!”


“I…” Lan Mengcheng opened her mouth to speak but she had no answers.


“Mengcheng!” Chen Xiaobei repeated slowly this time, “Enter the gourd. Leave with me. Are you willing?” Chen Xiaobei put extra emphasis on the words, “Leave with me”.


Lu Gang was getting impatient. “Girl! I warn you! Answer now! If you’re pretending to be stupid to protect this kid, I will make you pay!”


“I’m willing! I’m willing!” This time, Lan Mengcheng answered without hesitation.


Whoos.h.!.+


Suddenly, Lan Mengcheng shrunk and sucked into the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd.


“Tha… Th…” Lu Gang gasped. “What the f*ck just happened? Where did the girl go? Where is she?”


He had been pressing Lan Mengcheng to answer the question, not crossing his mind that she would disappear when she did.


Lan Mengcheng was not just a hostage Lu Gang used to threaten Chen Xiaobei, she was also the only thing that had stopped Chen Xiaobei from killing him.


Without Lan Mengcheng, the Demonic Beast Kings had now the green light to rip him apart.


“Hey Lu! Congratulations! After performing the tests, I can confirm that you’ve got the real Lan Mengcheng!” Chen Xiaobei smirked. “For Lan Mengcheng’s sake, I am willing to destroy my own cultivation, and even die! Unfortunately, that Mengcheng had just flown away from your grasp!”


“I…” Lu Gang’s face twisted into an ugly scowl, as if he had just tasted something nasty.


Gone! The cooked duck flew away just like that!


Lu Gang was holding his most powerful bargaining chip. But Chen Xiaobei’s words turned it into a meaningless piece of trash.


Losing Lan Mengcheng meant losing ability to bargain with Chen Xiaobei.


“Mr… Mr. Chen… Master Chen” Lu Gang began to tremble so hard he fell to the ground and cried, “This is all my fault! Please spare my life! I’m willing to be your slave! Please have mercy!”


“I gave you a chance to live just now but you didn’t appreciate it!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.


“I was wrong! I know that I’m wrong now!” Lu Gang knocked his head on the ground, crying, “I am a demiG.o.d! If you spare my life, I will be your dog from now on! If you ask me to bite, I’ll bite for you!”


“Heh, can your cultivation be compared to the three of them?” Chen Xiaobei glanced at the Demonic Beast Kings. “You are not even worthy of being my dog!”


Lu Gang was speechless. He had heard the three Beast Kings call Chen Xiaobei ‘master’.


Compared to them, Lu Gang was as weak as a kitten! He was not strong enough that Chen Xiaobei would want to keep him.


So, he quickly changed and tried another reason. “I… I am the master of the South Town Star Temple! I can send 10 people to Northern Wilderness Starfield for you every year! Also, all of the demiG.o.ds on earth are at your disposal!”


“I don’t need that. I can send people there myself. I can handle earth’s Jianghu on my own.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.


“I..” Lu Gang swallowed. “I am the core member of the South Town’s Lu family! If you spare me, I guarantee that my family will reward you handsomely!”


“Hehe, now that you’ve mentioned your family, let me tell you the truth!” Chen Xiaobei said.


“Truth? What truth?” Lu Gang asked.


“It was the Northern Wilderness Overlord who sent me here to kill you! Your family has committed serious crimes, and have been sentenced to be completely wiped out! Even if I wanted to spare you, the Overlord would not! On top of that, in the near future, I would be in control of the South Town Star Temple!”


“How… That’s impossible! You’re bulls.h.i.+tting! I don’t believe you! I will never believe that!” Lu Gang broke down.


“You are already a dead man. Does it still matter if you believe it or not?” Chen Xiaobei said coldly. “Kill!”
