Chapter 205 Climbing the Dragon Bones
Xie Yuexuan couldn’t believe that Su Ping was asking her for money.
You should be a talent with strong connections, right? Why would you want money when you have the Inferno Dragon?
Xie Yuexuan was dumbfounded by Su Ping’s out-of-box thinking. At the same time, she was nervous. “How much do you want?”
“How much can you give me?” Su Ping replied with a question.
Xie Yuexuan determined that Su Ping didn’t seem to be joking. Timidly, she answered, “How about ten million?”
“Sure.” Su Ping nodded.
He didn’t have a set amount of money in mind. Saving her didn’t bring him extra trouble and he just randomly asked for money. He didn’t care about the exact number and was willing to accept whatever she wanted to offer. Paying him would mean that she had repaid his kindness. However, he didn’t mind that. After all, they probably wouldn’t see each other again in the future.
Xie Yuexuan was relieved to see that Su Ping had accepted. Ten million was the best she could do within a short period of time. If he were to ask for more, she would have to sell some family possessions and collectibles.
“I don’t have that much on my bank card. Can I give you five million for now?” Xie Yuexuan asked, chilled with fear.
Su Ping nodded.
He gave her his bank account number.
Xie Yuexuan noted it down and typed it on her phone to initiate the transfer.
The successful transfer somehow made her feel at ease. “Sir, can you give me your phone number? I will transfer the other five million when I get back.” “Okay.” Su Ping nodded.
Five million for a phone number. What a great deal this was! Besides, Su Ping never saw himself as a big potato. He wasn’t afraid of giving people his number.
Xie Yuexuan was glad that Su Ping gave his consent. She typed his number on her phone. A message popped out when she clicked to save the number: “This number cannot be saved. Remove from the blacklist?”
Xie Yuexuan didn’t understand.
Remove from the blacklist?
Did she add the number to the blacklist?
How… was that possible? She was a person of integrity. She would never blacklist anyone for no reason at all, not to mention that she and Su Ping had never met before that day. Su Ping had just given her his number. How could she have possibly blacklisted him?
“What is it?” Su Ping asked. He noticed Xie Yuexuan looked funny.
Su Ping’s question startled Xie Yuexuan. She put her phone down and said, “Nothing.”
Su Ping was unconvinced but he didn’t ask further questions. He commanded the Purple Python to take them away from this dragon scale land.
Xie Yuexuan felt she could breathe again since Su Ping didn’t care. She turned her back to Su Ping and searched the blacklist. She was still puzzled as to what had happened. Was her phone acting up? Soon, she found a number in the blacklist, just the one Su Ping had given her.
It was indeed registered in the blacklist.
Xie Yuexuan didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t believe this was really happening
was 1
Then, she noticed the time and date she called this number and the remark she added… fake tutor?
Xie Yuexuan was stunned stiff.
She remembered this “fake tutor” very well. She had received the instructions not long before. Thanks to the “fake tutor” she was able to finish her thesis. Back then, she was occupied with something else after she submitted her thesis. Not long afterward, she went to the Mysterious Realm and ended up forgetting about removing that number from the blacklist.
The number Su Ping gave her was this number? That was to say….
Xie Yuexuan turned around to look at Su Ping.
“Am I handsome?” Su Ping looked at Xie Yuexuan who had been acting secretively from the corner of his eye.
“…Yes.”
Xie Yuexuan turned away to remove the number from the blacklist. Then she saved the number, adding it to the list of friends. After she finished this process, finally, her pounding heart slowed down a little bit. She threw another look to Su Ping nervously.
Su Ping, who had been gazing into the distance, darted her a look.
Xie Yuexuan’s heart skipped a beat. She felt he had discovered her secret.
But Su Ping looked away at once.
Xie Yuexuan breathed in relief. There was still a lingering fear in her mind. Luckily, Su Ping was still oblivious to the situation, or she would have been in trouble.
She remembered clearly how she scolded him when she called him. She didn’t leave any time for him to explain. She didn’t have to think about how angry Su Ping must have been at that time. If Su Ping were to know that she had been the one who verbally abused him, he might beat her to death right there.
I don’t think he noticed that just now. Well, good for me… He seems to have forgotten my voice as well. Right, the voice on the phone sounds different from when we talk person to person. I hope he will never remember that… Xie Yuexuan prayed in her heart. She stole a look at Su Ping; she didn’t dare to openly stare at him. She was carrying a guilty conscience with her.
“You’re nervous?” Su Ping asked.
Xie Yuexuan felt her heart stopped for an instant. “Am, Am I?”
“Yes.”
“Maybe I am too thrilled since I can leave this place soon.” Xie Yuexuan came up with an excuse quickly. She was secretly happy about her wit. The excuse could perfectly explain her nervousness and sweat.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows but didn’t press further.
Soon, they arrived at the portal and were teleported back to the plaza.
There were some other teams there. They had just come out from the Mysterious Realm and were resting at the moment. Su Ping sent his Purple Python back to the pet space and said to Xie Yuexuan. “Time to say goodbye. Take care. Also, I suggest you stay away from the Mysterious Realm. You won’t be this fortunate every time.”
“Of course.” Xie Yuexuan nodded. Su Ping’s advice was sincere.
Su Ping waved goodbye and left without further ado.
Xie Yuexuan watched as Su Ping stepped into the checkpoint room. Finally, she was able to loosen herself up, but soon realized something she had neglected. If Su Ping was the private tutor, that would imply that Su Ping… was a titled battle pet warrior.
Were there titled battle pet warriors this young?
Xie Yuexuan didn’t understand.
The success of her thesis was proof that this “private tutor” was real. Still, she didn’t expect that the titled battle pet warrior was a young man!
What the hell!
Su Ping had become a regular visitor. He soon passed the check and indulged in some small talk with Qin Shuhai.
Su Ping went to have a rest after he left the checkpoint. Then, he headed to other dragon scale lands to search for other treasures.
Time zipped by. Five days passed.
Su Ping stayed for a week in the Mysterious Realm thus far. The Mysterious Realm would be kept open for half a month. Thanks to his relentless effort, Su Ping had managed to search all the dragon scale lands.
Su Ping combed through all the dragon scale lands according to their numbers and what he experienced in the cultivation site. By then he could tell with the number which dragon scale land he was in and what the environment, treasures, and beasts were like.
In some of the quite perilous lands, Su Ping only stayed for a short time to avoid risking his life. Apart from those lands, Su Ping had explored all the other lands with important treasures.
Some of those treasures had already been taken away, some had been destroyed, some had been worn away by time and some were gone. He didn’t know if those items were taken away by someone, or whether they had been relocated by the beasts since such a long time had passed. He could only find those lost items if he searched every corner of those lands. But clearly, Su Ping didn’t have that time, and doing so would impose great risks.
Some of the treasures that Su Ping hoped to find were gone. That being said, in general, this trip was rewarding and fruitful. He had become a nouveau riche. Any of the treasures he had could be sold at a whopping price.
The Star Prism that could enhance astral powers was a piece that titled battle pet warriors would want to fight for.
That item was effective for all pets that were weaker than beast kings. Even when it came to beast kings, the Star Prism could produce a slight effect in them as well. The Star Prism was definitely a valuable article.
The journey has not been made in vain…
“I heard that there are three Mysterious Realms in total and the Longtai Mountain is one of them. When time permits, I should go and explore the other two Mysterious Realms. But I do have to find the corresponding cultivation sites first. That will give me the confidence to explore them in real life. If I weren’t that familiar with the Longtai Mountain, I could have barely kept my life when I entered those dragon scale lands with beast kings,” Su Ping said to himself.
He had finished his exploration and it was time for him to leave.
But before he did, he had to go to the dragon bones to be eligible for the dragon king’s legacy.
When all the dragon scale lands were opened up and the process for inheriting the legacy was initiated, he could come back to the Longtai Mountain to receive the legacy!
Su Ping looked forward to seeing those treasures left behind by a dragon that was more powerful than a beast king.
Su Ping went to the dragon monument.
The pressure was still great outside on the stairs but was weaker than the inside.
Many teams were gathered there. They had come out from the Mysterious Realm to have a rest. Some battle pet warriors were not that powerful. They had not made the trip to visit the dragon scale lands, but to climb the dragon bones to test their spirit and courage.
