Chapter 488: The Xiao Family Has a Son Who Has Advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm
“Hey, Hey! Did you hear?”
“What’s the matter?”
“I heard that the son of the Xiao family has advanced to the nascent soul realm in Central Plains! I heard that even the Central Plains Sect Alliance helped him!”
“That’s impossible. If the Central Plains Sect Alliance has the ability, why didn’t they let their own people advance to the nascent soul realm instead of giving this precious opportunity to the Xiao family?”
“Then I’m not sure. Someone in my family is a minor official in the Central Plains Sect Alliance. He was the one who told me.”
At the border of Southern Plains, Hundred Birds City.
Victor looked at the person who was wolfing down the food in front of him and frowned.
“So, who told you about my ident.i.ty? Also, why are you following me?”
Yes, not long after Victor left the Central Plains Sect Alliance, he met He Qi. Without saying a word, he stabbed Victor with his sword. After Victor blocked the attack with his sword, the latter did not say a word and followed behind Victor silently. Ever since then… three days had pa.s.sed.
During this period, Victor had questioned He Qi multiple times about what he was doing with him. In the end, he pretended to be mute and said nothing. This made Victor a little annoyed.
However, what was more annoying was that this person did not have any spirit stones at all.
All the expenses along the way, including the teleportation array, food, and accommodation, were all paid by Victor. Based on a rough calculation, it was at least a thousand spirit stones.
“He Qi, I’m asking you a question. If you’re still not going to say anything, you’d better hurry back.”
As soon as he finished speaking, He Qi finished the wine in his gla.s.s in one gulp and burped contentedly. He said, “d.a.m.n, I’m just not sure if you’re Zhang Er or not.”
“No matter who told you the news, he’s right. I am Zhang Er, but what does it have to do with you? Are you aware that over the past few days, you’ve swallowed at least one thousand of my spirit stones?”
“A great man doesn’t mind about trivial matters. Victor, you’re too narrow-minded.”
He Qi’s prim and proper speech made Victor speechless.
‘What the f*ck do you mean by narrow-minded? You eat my food, live in my house, and I’m the narrow-minded one?’
“I don’t like to listen to nonsense,” said Victor in a deep voice, “If you still can’t give me a reason, I’ll leave right now. I won’t pay for you.”
“Hey, don’t! I’ll say it, okay? I want to travel around the world with you. I know you’re from the Eastern Plains and have been staying in the Eastern Plains for some time. Are you going to the Southern Plains and the Western Plains next?”
“Yes, that’s indeed the plan, but why should I take you with me?”
Victor did not understand He Qi’s request.
‘You’re not a military woman like Feng Lian, who I’ll feel pleased just by looking at her. Moreover, you’re a f*cking glutton, what’s the use of bringing you along?’
“Just treat it as us traveling together! Think about it, with our strength, as long as we don’t meet cultivators above the middle stage of the nascent soul realm, we can basically do whatever we want in the Southern Plains, right?
‘Although I am indeed quite a big eater, I can fight alongside you for free, right? Besides, it’s not easy to meet a confidant who shares the same interests as me. I don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.’
He did not know if people who nurtured intents were more stubborn or if it was simply He Qi being insanely stubborn. In his opinion, as long as he followed Victor, his martial arts could improve, although he did not know the reason.
“Can I refuse? To be honest, don’t you think it’s quite disgusting for two men to travel around the world? If you were a girl, it would’ve been fine even if you’re a little uglier.”
“Woman? A woman will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword. Victor, just say if I can stay with you or not.”
“Fine, since you’re already here, how can I make you leave? But, I’m very curious, how did the Central Plains Sect Alliance allow you to leave? After all, you’re a warrior with amazing martial talent. I can’t imagine them letting you leave.”
“Sigh, I didn’t get along with the Central Plains Sect Alliance in the first place. In addition to your death, I had a fight with my boss. Later, I was determined not to stay in the Hundred Sect Alliance, so he didn’t force me to stay.”
“I see.” Victor nodded. He wanted to eat something, but all the delicacies on the table were eaten by He Qi. Victor immediately put on a sour face, called the waiter, and ordered another table of dishes.
In fact, at their level, they should have abstained from eating long ago, but Victor was a hard worker, so he still needed to eat. As for He Qi, he just wanted to eat.
Seeing that He Qi’s hands were planning to s.n.a.t.c.h the newly served chicken by the waiter, Victor immediately pulled out the Rose Sword and pressed it against He Qi’s neck. He said coldly, “Give me a drumstick!”
“Of course. Of course.”
He Qi smiled embarra.s.sedly and threw a drumstick to Victor, who then put away the Rose Sword.
“Speaking of which, what are your plans next?”
He Qi asked Victor with a lisp and conveniently brought the a.s.sorted stir-fry in front of him.
Upon seeing this scene, Victor’s face darkened, but he still did not say anything.
“Next, I might have to go to the Xiao family of the Southern Plains. I still have some unfinished business with them.”
“Thats’ great! The Xiao family is great! I’ve long wanted to chop Xiao Chenggan to death. It’s good to go to the Xiao family.”
He Qi nodded his head excitedly as if the mention of the Xiao family would make his blood boil.
“Why are you so excited? Do you have a grudge with the Xiao Family?”
“Well… sort of. In short, if you want to attack the Xiao family, count me in.”
“No, not necessarily.” Victor sighed and shook his head. He continued, “Although I have the intention to kill the enemy, but just the two of us are not qualified. You should know that the Xiao family has two top-tier warriors at the peak of the nascent soul realm. I’m afraid that they’re only one step away from the soul formation realm.”
“Great. As the old saying goes, we either die an honorable death or live with fame. It’s just death. I have long accepted it. I think it’s the same for you too.”
“Oh, that’s not the case. I still have four beautiful ladies waiting for me. I can’t just die like this.”
“How… how many?”
“Four. Let me think… Lingxuan, Lian Hua, Lengling, and Feng Lian. That’s four.”
Victor counted on his fingers as he thought about it. There were still some others that could not be counted.
For example, the woman in White Dragon City. Although Victor did not hate her, he did not like her either.
There was no need to hide it. Victor was a sucker for looks. Who wasn’t?
His four women were all as beautiful as flowers. Victor did not think that there was anything wrong with that.
When one came into contact with someone, wasn’t the first thing they would see was their face?
Everyone had a love for beauty.
“Four isn’t too many, right? I heard that there are three thousand beauties in the Western Plains Emperor Yan’s chamber. Compared to him, I’m much more devoted.”
“He has a throne to inherit, what do you have?”
“Are you eating or not? If you’re not eating, then get lost!”
“Yes, yes yes. I’m eating, I’m eating.”
