“Here I am! Please accept my utmost respect to you!”
After a few words on the phone, Lu Bu turned to Chen Xiaobei, knees to the ground, hand on his chest, and his head bowed to pay his respects.
Diao Chen was the person that Lu Bu loved the most, and for her, he was willing to do anything. Anything to the extent of even bowing down to thank her savior!
“Let’s talk after you get off the ground eh!” Chen Xiaobei offered him a hand.
Lu Bu maintained his position on the ground stubbornly. “God Chen, I will never ever forget this thing that you have done for us! From today onwards, whenever you have a need, I will do everything in my ability to help you, even if I have to risk my life in return for saving my wife!”
“I think of the both of you as my friends. Taking care of each other to the point of sacrificing oneself is only natural. If you stay on your knees, would that mean you don’t recognize me as a friend?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Of course I do! I recognize you as a friend” Lu Bu hurried to his feet. “It is my greatest honor to be your friend! It’s almost the greatest stroke of luck I could ever have! As long as you don’t mind, this friendship will never ever change, and I hope it would last forever!”
“If that’s the case, stop calling me God Chen!” Chen XIaobei smiled. “You call me Xiaobei like Bro Yu does!”
“I wouldn’t dare!” Lu Bu shook his head. “Last time, because I had my hands tied by Shen Gongpao, I have done some terrible things till it brought you harm! I do not dare disrespect you anymore!”
“But if you keep calling me God Chen, a lot of people will misunderstand!” Chen Xiaobei pointed at the crowd watching them.
“Then… What should we do?”
“Stupid! Call him Bro Bei!”
A melodious woman’s voice spoke on the other of the end of the line.
That was Diao Chan’s voice, which was a sweet and pleasant sound to the ears.
Lu Bu had not hung up yet so she could hear everything that was happening, and decided to give Lu Bu a suggestion.
“Yes! Bro Bei! My wife is so smart!” Lu Bu grinned excitedly, “God Chen, if you don’t mind, I will call you Bro Bei from now on!”
“Oh, okay. Whatever you like.” Chen Xiaobei was taken aback by a little. There were probably only a few people who Lu Bu called ‘Bro’. The number of people like that were few and far in between. Just thinking about it make Chen Xiaobei feel a tad proud.
“Pass the phone to Xiaobeibei! I want to thank him myself!” Diao Chan said.
Lu Bu handed the phone over happily.
“Xiaobeibei! Thank you!” Diao Chan said earnestly. “Because of your 10 million merit points, your servant was able to successfully descend to Earth God’s Realm safely! However, I’m still not very used to this place and I’m unable to thank you face to face!”
“Hey! We are all friends! There’s no need to be too polite! I know that you are grateful!” Chen Xiaobei chuckled.
Though Chen Xiaobei had spent a whopping 10 million merit points to solve this problem, he did not take it to heart.
He had never been one to be calculative with friends and family; whatever the cost!
Spending the 10 million points to save Diao Chan and free Lu Bu was very worth it to him!
“No! No! Now! You have yet to receive my gratitude! I’ll hang up now! Get ready to receive Red Envelopes! Hehe!” Diao Chan laughed cheekily and then hung up.
Ding –
Congratulations! You received a Red Envelope from Lu Bu! 30 million points have been deposited inside the treasure chest!
“Wow! What the hell, wow!” Chen Xiaobei swallowed. “Lu… Lu Bu what are you doing?”
Lu Bu grinned. “Because Shen Gongpao is holding the merit points ledger, I could not save Diao Chan even though I had many merit points! Now that the ledger is not in Shen Gongpao’s hands, I have to repay my Bro Bei generously!”
“No, this is too much!”
Chen Xiaobei did not expect to get such a big thank you gift!
“No, it’s not a lot!” Lu Bu said. “In my previous life, my sins were big and heavy. Although I was cultivating with Diao Chan at the same time, I was only able to accumulate 60 million merit points! When Bro Bei rescued Diao Chan, you gave up nearly 90% of your merit points. Right now, I am only giving you half of what I have. How could that be took much? This is Diao Chan’s and my way of showing you gratitude. Please do not refuse it, or Diao Chan and I would never be at peace. How could we even call you our friend?”
Lu Bu was very sincere when he spoke. He was definitely not putting on a show.
“Alright! I’ll accept these merit points!”
Chen Xiaobei was not an unreasonable person so he accepted the gift with an open heart. There was no need to be too particular with friends.
One day, if Lu Bu and Diao Chan were faced with other problems, Chen Xiaobei would surely help them willingly.
That was what true friendship was really about!
Chen Xiaobei retrieved the merit points from the treasure chest.
Ding!
[You have received 30,000,000 merit points!]
Ding!
[Congratulations! You’ve been promoted to Philanthropist the Seventh!]
Ding!
[You now have 33,010,000 merit points. You need another 11,990,000 to proceed to the next level (Charm: 3,301,000; Luck 3,301,000)!]
After Chen Xiaobei used millions of his merit points for something good, he was demoted to Philanthropist the Forth.
Now that 30 million merit points have been deposited to him, his rank was raised 3 levels up, and he reached the level of Philanthropist the Seventh.
Good people would be repaid in kind. This was the reward that Chen Xiaobei received for helping people generously.
“Bro Bei! Diao Chan and I are safe! But what do you plan to do about the King of Glory finale?” Lu Bu said worriedly. “This is the finale! If you lose, you’ll lose the Dragon’s Edge as well! If that happens, then Diao Chan and I will be condemned through the ages!”
“Don’t worry. Everything is under control!” Chen Xiaobei said confidently.
“You really have a way to go about this? The people in the group are all saying that you’ll lose for sure!” Lu Bu said doubtfully. With peer pressure looming around him, he could not imagine what Chen Xiaobei could do to turn the situation around.
“Hehe, the group knows nothing about King of Glory!” Chen Xiaobei turned and shouted towards the house, “Old Wang! It’s time to end this competition!”
“Old Wang? Are you talking about Shaoba Xingjun?” Lu Bu asked.
“Yes, that’s him!” Chen Xiaobei grinned.
“No… No way.” Lu Bu’s eyes widened in disbelief. How was a weak Shaoba Xingjun going to terminate his competition?
“Just keep an eye on the group chat. The competition will end within 3 minutes!” IEvidently, Chen Xiaobei had already foreseen that. “Old Wang is going to dominate the match! I’m not just saying this for the sake of it!”
After that, both of them took out their own phones and clicked into the Three Realms Red Envelope group chat.
The group was already in engaged in heated discussion.
