 Yeah!

In the future, whoever provokes me can taste this powder!

Just when Wei Xiao Bei was rather giddy, the Ming Lun Envoy took the storage bag that Wei Xiao Bei was wearing as a wristwatch. She searched inside and frowned, “Your storage bad is so disordered and filled with stuff. Sigh, if I dump it all out, it might just break, wait for this envoy here.”

The Ming Lun Enovy returned the storage bag to Wei Xiao Bei and became golden light that rose and floated toward the Bai Ta Hills.

While waiting Wei Xiao Bei felt a bit of regret.

If it was like last time that the Ming Lun Envoy brought it back to level up and it became destroyed, then she would give him a new one. At the same time, the destroyed one would be left to him. Although it could not recognize an owner, there would still be a large amount of useable space inside.

Wei Xiao Bei admitted that he was thinking too much.

The small holding bag was looked down upon by the Ming Lun Envoy, but the Storage Bag that she had given him cost five immortal quality dishes. This object could not just be randomly gifted to others even if it was destroyed.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei could only shake his head and sigh. Having a few good things happen was good enough. Wishing for more to happen was hopeless.

The Ming Lun Envoy took a long time to return. She had left for twenty minutes and still hadn’t come back.

Wei Xiao Bei was not worried that the Ming Lun Envoy would steal the dishes. He still had a bit of trust in her.

Since the Ming Lun Envoy had not returned yet, Wei Xiao Bei began to search his surroundings in hopes of finding more seasoning and other useful things.

This was Wei Xiao Bei preparing himself for the matter ahead.

Just thinking about it, he did not even know about other envoys or officials.

This reflected a saying, that the tea cools down as soon as the person is gone.

Once the Ming Lun Envoy left, other envoys and officials would not treat Wei Xiao Bei in the same manner. They might even drive him away once he goes near.

After searching a wide area, Wei Xiao Bei returned to the small creek with a large grin on his face.

This could not be helped as he felt that the Bai Ta Hills was truly worthy of its name and full of natural resources.

This might be the influence of being nurtured by incense sticks. There was star anise, Chinese cinnamon, fennel, Chinese prickly ash, cloves, peppers, cardamom, black cardamom, nutmeg, and many other spices. Other than that, there were also ginger, garlic, leeks, and many others. Wei Xiao Bei had found a lot and swept the place clean. In the end, Wei Xiao Bei had to discard some of the more normal barbecued meat to free up space for these seasonings.

However, even if that was so, Wei Xiao Bei had still carried two bunches of Sichuan pepper on his shoulders. Being able to get more was better. In short, he would not be lacking in seasoning for a while.

No matter what was said, the Bai Ta Hill’s surroundings was a growing place for spice and seasoning. Moreover, the quality was a lot better than the real world.

As if it was planned, when Wei Xiao Bei had just returned to the creek, he saw a golden light shoot out from Bai Ta Hill and cross over the skies, landing in front of him and becoming the Ming Lun Envoy.

“Take this.”

The Ming Lun Envoy raised her hand as a bracelet dropped on Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei quickly put down the Sichuan peppers and jumped forward to catch the bracelet.

The bracelet looked a lot more beautiful than the unimpressive storage bag. It was as green as jade and let out faint green light. Touching it was warm as if it was a girl’s skin.

Just its outward appearance alone would make it be treated like a treasure that could be sold for millions.

Wei Xiao Bei threw a [Status Appraisal] at the jade green bracelet.

Name: Bai Ta Storage Bracelet (Rare)

Description: This is a storage bracelet used by the maids of the Bai Ta Hill.

Effect 1: Small Space. Inside, there is an independent space the size of 120 cubic meters. Intelligent creatures and forbidden real-world items cannot be placed inside.

Effect 2: Effect 2: Blood Binding. After blood binding, only the owner can use this bag. The owner only needs a single thought to bring it out and put in objects. Once the owner dies, the binding disappears.

Effect 3: Shape Change. This object can disguise itself as an object that the owner designates, but the size of the object must not exceed more than fifty percent of the storage bracelet. After being disguised, the storage bracelet will temporarily lose its original function.

……

Compared to the Normal Bai Ta Storage Bag, this Bai Ta Storage Bracelet was a lot more valuable.

It possesses 120 cubic meters of independent space which was twelve times the storage bag.

This space was already very huge.

It was truly worth it to trade this for ten portions of immortal quality dishes. The only question he had was that the bracelet was normally used by maids, making its model appear to be for females. Wei Xiao Bei wore it on his wrist and felt that it was extremely uncoordinated. He felt that bracelets were things worn by children and women, with men not normally wearing them.

However, this did not stop him at all.

With just a thought, the bracelet let out green light that wrapped it. When it disappeared, the only thing left behind was a dusky mechanical watch.

Wei Xiao Bei prioritized being low-key. If it turned it into a watch that appeared to cost millions, he was simply looking for trouble with other people.

This was the best way. Having an unimpressive normal wristwatch from who knows how long ago would make it seem like it was something passed down that had sentimental value.

“Good. Our business is settled.”

The Ming Lun Envoy appeared to be in a good mood. However, after Wei Xiao Bei moved the objects in his storage bag into the bracelet, he looked at the Ming Lun Envoy, appearing to not pay attention to his storage bag. He could not help but be moved as he moved forward and braced himself. He passed on the ten portions of Stir-Fried Black Beetles, and ten portions of Fried Tentacles. He became cordial as he was seeking aid, “This is my specially made snacks. You can eat it on your way.”

The Ming Lun Envoy was already preparing to leave, but after seeing the snacks that Wei Xiao Bei took out, she stopped and took the snacks. She rubbed her stomach and felt that she was too full, regretting that she could not immediately taste the snacks.

“Is something the matter?”

The Ming Lun Envoy was the Ming Lun Envoy. She naturally saw through Wei Xiao Bei trying to curry favors and asked.

“Can you help me remove the ownership of this storage bag?”

Toward what benefits he could exchange with the snacks, Wei Xiao Bei simply did not care. After all, the snacks were only rare quality at most and were not that great.

What he minded was that since the Ming Lun Envoy did not take away the storage bag and he did not need it, for now, he’d rather ask her to help him remove the owner that was recognized by the bag. In the future, he could gift it to his disciples.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be proud of how much he cared for his disciples. He felt that there might not be another master like him under the heavens.

Ignoring how Wei Xiao Bei was blowing his horns, the Ming Lun Envoy looked at the storage bag, thinking about something. However, she sighed in the end, “Fine. Then I’ll gift this bag to you.”

Saying so, the Ming Lun Envoy pointed at the storage bag. A red light shot out from her finger onto the bag.

The moment the red light landed, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if he had lost something in his heart.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei knew that this was inevitable to remove the binding on the storage bag and did not say anything.

The owner recognition effect was nothing in front of the power of Bai Ta Hill. The power of owner recognition was against other creatures, but the manufacturers would naturally leave some kind of backdoor and this was normal.

“This envoy shall leave first. Some day in the future, try to pay attention to the proof that this envoy has given you. You will have a nice surprise.”

After saying this, the Ming Lun Envoy became light and disappeared into the skies. The golden light did not land anywhere as it flew higher and higher until it disappeared.

 Did she leave just like that?

Wei Xiao Bei saw the golden light disappear toward the skies and felt a bit sad.

She had disappeared just like that. It meant that when she returned to Bai Ta Hills, she was preparing to leave the place and was probably informing other envoys and officials there. Thus she had delayed.

No matter what was said, the Ming Lun Envoy had left and perhaps they might not meet again.

Wei Xiao Bei felt inwardly depressed. He touched the stone plate that hung in front of his chest. He immediately thought about the words of the Ming Lun Envoy and took a look at it. He became stunned as the logo of the Bai Ta Hill had disappeared on it, leaving behind only a circle.

Wei Xiao Bei looked over it a few times before using [Status Appraisal] on it.

Name: Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof (Sealed)

Material: stone

Description: This proof was created by Bai Ta Shan’s Ming Lun Envoy. It has been slightly blessed by the burning incense of Bai Ta Hill. because the Ming Lun Envoy had left Bai Ta Hills, this proof has been sealed and cannot be used.

……

There was nothing else afterward, even the effects had disappeared.

 It had been sealed?

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but bitterly smile. This was indeed a nice surprise.

Wei Xiao Bei carefully analyzed the Ming Lun envoy’s words and felt that there was a deeper meaning. However, he temporarily could not figure it out. Thus he once again hung the stone plate on his neck, temporarily not minding it.

 I should leave soon. 

Before the Ming Lun Envoy left, Wei Xiao Bei felt a faint rejection coming from the place. Perhaps someone might drive him away if he stayed any longer.

After leaving the place quickly, Wei Xiao Bei sat on a huge boulder and began to think.

Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous, as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile. The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust. The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it. Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe. Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light, as if looking at television static.
