Seeing the uncertainty on Yushan Master’s face, Bull Bean seemed to have thought of something. She took out a token and set it in front of her. On the token, there was a word that said ‘Bull’. It shone brightly and its aura surged to the sky. At Yushan Master’s cultivation level, when he looked directly at it, he could feel a vague sense of suppression in his heart.
As if he was looking directly at majestic mountains!
He was out of luck. This brat in front of him was indeed from the Bull Family.
Yushan Master looked at Sprout. Back then, he had only checked the aura that Sun Yuhuan provided to him so he could not be sure. Now, however, he had taken a look at her personally, he could confirm that this black-robed woman was indeed a top-grade cultivation cauldron that was very compatible with his Great Dao.
If she could belong to him, he would be able to cross the Celestial Threshold and enter the King realm after cultivating for a hundred years. Just this thought alone made him feel fired up inside.
So what if this person is a descendant of the Bull Family? Do they really think that I’m going to give up such a great opportunity for my Great Dao just because of a little brat’s words?
Yushan Master had also thought of temporarily backing down today and only taking action once they left Heaven Fragrance Residence.
However, for some reason, Yushan Master had a very strong intuition that he had to act here and now. Otherwise, if that black-robed woman left, he would never be able to find a cauldron that was so compatible with his Great Dao again. This intuition that was born from his Great Dao was mysterious, and Yushan Master firmly believed in it.
Taking one step backwards, Yushan Master smiled, cupped his hands, and said, “I did not know that the Bull Family’s young lady was here. I offended you earlier; please forgive me. Since this place is a business owned by the Bull Family, I naturally would not dare to act recklessly. I will leave now.”
His figure moved, as if he was going to leave. However, before his feet could touch the ground, an obscure aura exploded from his body suddenly. Like an endless ocean, it covered the whole of Heaven Fragrance Residence in an instant.
With a wave of his sleeves, Sun Yuhuan, who looked both vicious and happy at the same time, exploded and shattered into powder with a loud bang. Her soul dissipated directly.
Hua Xiangrong’s face turned pale and she screamed, “Yushan Master, what are you trying to do?”
Yushan Master replied, “So what if there’s a descendant of the Bull Family here? If I slaughter everyone here today, there will be no witnesses left and Bull Dingtian will not be able to do anything to me.”
Though he said that, his real plan was to get his hands on Sprout. Once he entered closed-door cultivation and broke through to the Half-King realm, with the treasure in his hands, his power would be equivalent to that of someone in the King realm. Even if he could not beat these people, escaping would not be difficult. Even if Bull Dingtian really found evidence of what he did, he would not need to fear.
Bang –
He stomped heavily, raised his hand, and pointed forward at Bull Bean. ‘Dong!’ A muffled sound rang out and the space started to twist and turn instantly, wrapping Bull Bean within. The firm and unwavering killing intent of the rogue cultivator was revealed.
Since he had already made a move, there was no use in hesitating anymore!
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows.
Rourou squinted her eyes, “Don’t worry, this brat won’t die.”
Before Rourou finished her sentence, the twisting space suddenly froze, as if there was another force that appeared, one that resisted Yushan Master’s.
Yushan Master’s face changed greatly. With a snort, he turned around and fled without any hesitation.
Boom –
The twisted space shattered.
“You bastard, you dared to attack my Bull Family’s young lady and now you are thinking of escaping alive? Do you think this old bull is a pushover?!”
A cold scoff rang out suddenly and Qin Yu’s heart sank. He saw Yushan Master, who was in the process of escaping, suddenly cry out. Heaven and Earth Rules twisted and turned. A small world Illusion descended and Qin Yu, who was within it, felt enormous pressure weighing down on him.
However, this small world Illusion shattered like a bubble after existing for just a moment.
What shattered along with it was Yushan Master’s body. Just now, he killed Sun Yuhuan like he was killing a chicken, and now, he met with the same tragic outcome.
A figure appeared in front of Bull Bean. This figure was not very tall, but it was strong like a mountain, as if it could hold up the moon and the stars.
At this moment, Qin Yu felt a deep fear towards the Central Desolate Divine Area’s real peak cultivators.
Yushan Master was already quite powerful – even if Qin Yu showed his trump card, he was not sure that he would be able to win if they fought each other.
Yet, such a powerful person like Yushan Master was directly killed, as if he was as insignificant as an ant, by this person in front of him. And it all happened in the blink of an eye.
What made Qin Yu even more shaken was that this person was not truly here physically. This person merely activated some medium and released the projections within.
Without any doubt, this person in front of him was the Bull Family’s Old Ancestor, Bull Dingtian! As for what cultivation realm he was in, Qin Yu was unable to fully comprehend. He felt as if he was facing an enormous and boundless ocean.
“Old Ancestor!” Bull Bean’s tears kept falling. “I’m so scared!”
After killing Yushan Master like he was an ant, Bull Dingtian instantly panicked, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Old Ancestor is here. Do not worry, no one will be able to touch even a strand of your hair.”
‘Pu-tong!’ Hua Xiangrong knelt down. “This concubine…greets…greets Old Ancestor…” She was still very dizzy from everything that had happened. Her heart was beating very quickly and was not going to slow down any time soon.
Before, she only knew that there was a powerful backer behind Heaven Fragrance Residence, but she did not know who this backer was and she had always been curious about this.
Today, she had finally seen the truth for herself.
Bull Family’s Old Ancestor, Bull Dingtian!
In the world of rogue cultivators, there was a legend that said the Old Ancestor had fought with one of the four sects continuously for three days and three nights. In the end, three whole mountains were flattened and he turned to leave abruptly.
Heaven Fragrance Residence’s backer was actually Old Ancestor Bull! In the future, who else would dare to provoke us? This time, the Old Ancestor had created a scene here himself!
Xiu –
Xiu –
Silhouettes flew in from all eight directions. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed nonstop, thanking Old Ancestor Bull for saving their lives.
In the past, everyone was well-aware of Yushan Master’s love of killing. If it was not for Old Ancestor Bull, they would have died without a doubt. Furthermore, what was wrong with kowtowing to such a legendary person? If they could leave an impression on Old Ancestor Bull, it would be extremely beneficial for them too. And if not, they could at least brag to others that they had seen Old Ancestor Bull unleashing his power for themselves!
It was almost as if Bull Dingtian could not see or hear anything as he only cared about Bull Bean. Only after waiting until she had stopped crying did he let out a breath of relief.
“Young Lady, please do not cry anymore. Old Ancestor’s heart is broken when I see you cry.”
Bull Bean’s face reddened and she said softly, “Sorry, Old Ancestor. It is all my fault, I am too cowardly.”
“‘Pui!’ Who dares to say that our Bean is cowardly? If it were them going against that brat just now, they would not even have the courage to stand up.” Bull Dingtian patted her head and continued, “You are very good already…no, in Old Ancestor’s eyes, you are the best. No one in this world compares to you.”
Bull Bean blushed even more and thought to herself, ‘You can say these words when we’re alone, why must you say it in front of so many people? It’s so embarrassing!’
Bull Dingtian humphed and swept his gaze over his surroundings. Everyone immediately lowered their heads and pretended like they did not hear anything and did not know anything.
“Old Ancestor…” Bull Bean pulled at his arm.
Bull Dingtian laughed heartily and waved his sleeve, “Alright, the show is over. Why are you all still here? Are you waiting for me to send you all out myself?”
The people who knelt on the ground were alarmed when they heard this and did not dare to stay there any longer. All of them kowtowed once more before getting up to leave.
Old Ancestor Bull’s gaze landed on Qin Yu. His eyes shone and there was a trace of surprise in them.
Bull Bean said, “Old Ancestor, this is Big Brother Qin Yu. He is the one who saved me last time; you must thank him properly.”
Bull Dingtian laughed loudly, “Of course. Saving our Bean is equivalent to saving our whole Bull Family. Of course I have to thank him properly.”
As he said this, he patted Bull Bean’s shoulder, “Go and take a rest; let me speak a few words with this little friend Qin Yu.”
Bull Bean glanced sideways at Old Ancestor before looking at Qin Yu. Then, she nodded and turned to walk away.
When she had left, Old Ancestor Bull stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of Qin Yu, and then looked at him up and down.
“Kid, what do you think of becoming the young lady’s husband? Let me tell you, this is a fortune that only comes in one of thousands of lifetimes. As long as you nod your head, I promise that I will pave a Heaven Crossing Great Dao for you and help you stably cross the Celestial Threshold. In the future, your potential will be limitless!”
Qin Yu’s heart raced, not because he was tempted by Bull Dingtian’s offer, but because of how Bull Dingtian was looking at him…it was too terrifying! Making eye contact with Bull Dingtian felt like he was on the verge of an endless abyss and he could fall into it at any time and end up shattering into powder.
Terrifying, so terrifying!
Rourou said blandly, “By seducing him away with your offer, you have affected me. Bull Dingtian, have you asked for my opinion?”
Bull Dingtian turned his head to look at Rourou and frowned slightly, “Since just now, I’ve already felt that you looked slightly familiar. As you dare to speak to me like this, it seems that we are old acquaintances.”
Rourou snapped her fingers, “Stop playing dumb. We won’t talk about your cultivation, but your eyes are not bad.” The corners of her lips turned up, “Or, do you think that it’s a better choice if we pretend we did not know each other?”
Bull Dingtian smiled and scratched his eyebrows, “I just did not expect that thing to be true. You gave up so much just for him?”
Rourou replied, “Well, that’s none of your business.” Her smile became wider, “Why? Do you think that because of my current condition, I am no longer qualified to be regarded as your equal?”
Qin Yu’s body tensed up. Rourou was actually acquainted with this Old Ancestor, it was just that there was no way to tell what kind of relationship they once had. From the way they spoke with each other, it seemed that they were rivals and not friends.
He felt that how things were going to unfold would depend on how this Old Ancestor was going to reply to her. If a conflict occurred…a cold gaze appeared in Qin Yu’s eyes.
Bull Dingtian looked at Qin Yu and his eyes were full of approval, “Everything aside, this one has quite a lot of courage; this Old Ancestor likes him.”
He stretched his arm and continued, “Of course you and I are equals. Since we’ve bumped into each other, let’s sit down and say a few words to each other.”
Rourou nodded, “Qin Yu, you come with us too.”
Bull Dingtian frowned but did not object. Outside Heaven Code Courtyard, they sat at an open-air table.
Qin Yu originally did not want to sit with them. After all, the two people in front of him had a terrifying status. However, after looking at Rourou’s expression, he still decided to sit down beside her.
Bull Dingtian could not help but look at him a few more times. Evidently, he was very shocked. What exactly were this little brat’s origins?
Just because of his Nine Bends Heaven Crossing Great Dao, he became so valued by this woman? Bull Dingtian felt that there was more to the story.
He was very curious about the reason why Rourou valued Qin Yu so much, and at the same time, there was a thought in his heart that became stronger and stronger. Well…it seemed that this little brat Qin Yu was indeed qualified enough to become his Bull Family’s young lady’s husband.
Yes, let’s see, let’s see.
Rourou suddenly scoffed, “You are running out of time. If things are truly the way I think, then let’s talk business first.”
Bull Dingtian tapped his fingers on the table and with a calm expression, he said, “I’ve already sent a letter to the Bull Family. Very soon, there will be someone to come and bring Bean back home. Until they arrive, please help me take care of her.”
He raised his head and looked at them, “Since you cooperated in this act with me and forced me to appear here, you must have been waiting for me to say this. I know you won’t reject my request.”
Rourou did not seem to be embarrassed at all that someone had seen through her thought process as she nodded calmly.
“I agree to your request, but you know that I’ve always charged a high price for my services.”
Bull Dingtian’s lips twitched for a moment and he grimaced, as if he suddenly thought of some bad memories from the past.
“Since I’ve already made my request, I am prepared to pay the price. What do you want?”
Rourou replied, “I haven’t thought about it yet, but let’s make a note of it first.”
Bull Dingtian raised his hand and rubbed his face, “I would rather you slash me now; enduring physical pain is better than feeling wary in the future!”
He sighed, got up, and continued, “Bean shall be in your care. No matter what, nothing can happen to her. Otherwise, the next time we meet, you shall be my enemy.”
After finishing his sentence, Bull Dingtian’s figure disappeared.
