“Spi… Spiritual I…tem…”
Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao’s face turned a hideous shade of green.
They had promised to give Chen Xiaobei their Spiritual Items after he saved them.
But all Chen Xiaobei did was stand in front of them. He did not even lift a finger at all!
How could they allow him take their Spiritual Items just like that?
If two Spiritual Items had been tossed into Jianghu, it would cause a carnage; a vicious bloodbath. Chen Xiaobei however, only had to stand in front of Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao to be able to get his hands on them!
The thought of it drove Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao mad!
It was aggravating!
But their current physical condition put them in a vulnerable position. At their current state, there was no way that they would have the gut to lie to Chen Xiaobei.
“Th.. Thi… This is Kunlun Qingqiu Sword. It’s been in our faction for centuries.” Zhou Xiaokun plucked the sword from waist, his face tainted with pain.
Chen Xiaobei grabbed the knife from him. “Just give it to me! I don’t need to hear your explanation!”
“I…”
Had Zhou Xiaokun been a live volcano, there would have been smoke coming out of his ears. He wanted to pounce on Chen Xiaobei and sink his teeth into his enemy but he did not have the guts to do it.
“My darling wife! This is a Three-star Spiritual Item. Here, take it for your own protection.” Chen Xiaobei handed the Qingqiu Sword to Luo Puti.
There was a deafening silence as the stunned audience watched the exchange.
That was a Three-star Spiritual Item! How could he just give it away like that? He did not even flinch!
How could he treat the Three-star Spiritual Item like it was just another ordinary thing?!
“It… It’s too valuable. I can’t take it.” Luo Puti refused.
“Valuable my ass!” Chen Xiaobei scoffed. “This is merely substandard. I’m giving it to you for temporary use. I’ll give you a better one when your cultivation grows higher!”
“What?! Temporary use?!”
Zhou Xiaokun felt like someone had just kicked him in the groin.
His precious Qingqiu Sword was substandard to Chen Xiaobei?!
That was a massive blow to his pride!
Even all those around them felt that Chen Xiaobei was just full of himself!
Only the young master of Kunlun could bear the magnificent Qingqiu Sword.
If Chen Xiaobei’s snide remark about it was not meant to be pretentious, then what was it?
They were unaware that Chen Xiaobei had Spiritual Items aplenty. He even had those unparalleled powerful weapons like the Blood Chaos Sword, and the Dragon’s Edge with him!
Chen Xiaobei even felt like the Hundred Ghosts Parade painting and Asura Divine Mirror that he got on Duanwu festival was pretty useless.
Who could then blame him for his disregarding this mere Three-star Qingqiu Sword?
Luo Puti, on the other hand, did not think Chen Xiaobei was being a little over the top, as he had once gifted her something even more superior than a Spiritual Item!
It has not left her sight since, except for showers; Luo Puti wore it everywhere!
It was the bellyband that Zhu Bajie stole – that god knows how – from Goddess Qinglian!
Althought the bellyband had no special ability which strictly speaking does not make it an Item, however because it was made of Divine Item materials, it was more superior than Spiritual Items!
As Chen Xiaobei had given the Qinglian Bellyband to Luo Puti, this Three-star spiritual item was just a small token.
“What about you?” Chen Xiaobei looked at Ding Ding’ao with his eyes narrowed.
“I…”
Ding Ding’ao looked wretched. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to surrender his Spiritual Item. It was a white flute.
Chen Xiaobei took it from Ding Ding’ao and thorougly examined it.
“Wow!” Chen Xiaobei wore a look on his face, filled with ridicule. “What a rubbish toy! A Two-star Spiritual Item that summons venomous bugs and snakes? The f*ck for?”
He said this only because he had immunity towards venomous bugs and snakes.
The flute was like the mother of all junks to Chen Xiaobei.
“Blarrrgh!” Ding Ding’ao was so nettled by the comment, blood oozed from his lips. His face was a sallow green.
This flute was called the Poison King’s Skeletal Flute.
It could be used to summon all venomous creatures to attack the enemy in a swarm. The enemy could die of poisoning! Most elites would flee as far as they could!
Ding Ding’ao had used Poison King’s Skeletal Flute to kill, if not a thousand, at least 800 people.
But to Chen Xiaobei, it was a toy for children?
That was massive blow to Ding Ding’ao’s ego!
“Alright. Now that the evil spirits are gone, you can all go down and drink to your heart’s content!” Chen Xiaobei signalled for them to descend the stairs.
The news was like a melody to their ears.
They shoved and pushed to make their way down the steps.
Even Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao were in no mood to argue with Chen Xiaobei. They practically flew down the steps and dove into the water.
“Master Zhuo! Go take care of them. If anything happens, just call out to me. I need to talk to my wife in private!” Chen Xiaobei told Zhuo Qunfeng.
“Alright!” Zhuo Qunfeng now saw Chen Xiaobei as his mainstay and was willing to obey everything Chen Xiaobei said.
“What is it you wanted to talk to me about?” Luo Puti asked.
“The rest of the journey will be even more dangerous for you. I am thinking of sending you back to Bei Xuan. I will continue this on my own.” Chen Xiaobei said.
“No way!” Luo Puti was defiant. “I came here to find my parents! This has been my long-standing wish for so long, it’s what drives me! I cannot give up halfway!”
“Please listen to what I have to say first! I used the salamander king to speak with the evil spirits and found out that there’s another tens of thousands of miles ahead of us! There are at least 3,000 evil spirits like that! And there’s also the Chiliad Spirits Formation over there and 12 priests on guard. I have a feeling that things might be beyond my control and I’m afraid if I won’t be able to protect you.”
Luo Puti’s forehead creased. “I know. I am too weak. I can’t even help you. I’m just a burden to you.”
“No! That’s not what I meant! I am just worried about your safety!”
“You don’t have to explain. I don’t blame you. I know that I’m not powerful enough. But you need to also know that finding my parents is my own personal matter. Even without your help, I will still stubbornly press on! Should I have to die, at least I have tried to find that sole answer!”
Chen Xiaobei opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.
“I have to know. Why my parents abandoned me without so much as a goodbye!” Luo Puti enunciated every word when she repeated, “I HAVE TO KNOW!”
