Chapter 265: The Nice Berry Bandits (II)

Whoosh.

Earlier than the middle-aged cultivator even completed his prepare of thought, the little woman all of a sudden darted over to him, snatched the 2 containers of berries, and darted again to her spot subsequent to the Whale-Using Immortal. All of it occurred right away.

That velocity…

She might have killed me ten instances over within the time it took for her to grab the berries from me.

It solely took a second for the middle-aged cultivator to develop into drenched in chilly sweat.

The Whale-Using Immortal mentioned, “We’re not taking them without spending a dime. Right here.”

He tossed a glowing stone to the middle-aged cultivator. The second it landed within the middle-aged cultivator’s hand, he felt a surge of religious qi. The small crystal contained a turbulent religious qi.

May this be the dear sea-spirit stone?

A sea-spirit stone of this measurement might be price a minimum of 100 Vermillion-Chicken cash, which is greater than sufficient to purchase ten containers of these berries.

The center-aged cultivator instinctively declined. “How might I settle for this…”

“Simply take it. There is no must be well mannered,” the Whale-Using Immortal replied.

Then he waved his hand, and the surroundings across the middle-aged cultivator warped.

When the middle-aged cultivator was capable of see his environment clearly once more, he realized he was now dozens of li forward from the place he’d been stopped.

What wonderful divine skills…

The center-aged cultivator was shocked. He felt that the talents of the folks he’d encountered have been past his comprehension, and thus, he didn’t dare linger there. He set off for house at once.

In the meantime, the Whale-Using Immortal appeared on the little woman and grinned. “We’re fairly fortunate. Somebody delivered the berries proper to us. Are you glad now?”

The little woman pointed on the distant sky. “Fruit.”

…

Within the higher stage of the pavilion on Silver Sword Peak, Chu Liang sighed deeply. “Oh, what a pity, what a pity.”

Who would have thought that an alcoholic who drank daily for many years, almost consuming her household to destitution, could be unable to drink on the Wine-God Contest?

Chu Liang’s eyes have been crammed with disappointment.

Liu Xiaoyu’er sat nonetheless on a small stool close by, with an upright posture and a severe expression. Nonetheless, she did not actually perceive what Chu Liang and Di Nufeng have been speaking about. The toddler was really simply spacing out.

The Golden-Furred Hou lay exterior with its huge head by the door. Its ears have been perked up, and it gave the impression to be listening in on the assembly, afraid that its title would possibly get talked about.

Di Nufeng, then again, was sitting in a nook along with her head hung low, wanting dejected.

Listening to Chu Liang criticize her, Di Nufeng raised her head.

To defend her loss, she muttered, “Effectively… I had no concept that consuming several types of alcohol would get me drunk so simply. And who might have anticipated that Aunt Tian, a Guardian Elder, would be part of the competition… It is not honest!”

Chu Liang shook his head. “Haaa.”

Chu Liang would relatively face a standard disciple on the Golden Core Realm than encounter Ling Ao this early within the competitors.

Ling Ao was just too unusual.

The remaining individuals included Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai, so the lot that Liu Xiaoyu’er drew was a wonderful one. In truth, Shen Qiongguang appeared just a little weaker than Mu Yueting, Chu Liang’s opponent from the earlier spherical. This meant Shen Qiongguang would not be a troublesome opponent for Chu Liang.

Chu Liang thought that this was a fantastic end result.

Unexpectedly, there was one thing even higher to come back after that.

The subsequent morning, Chu Liang acquired information that Shen Qiongguang had withdrawn from the competitors resulting from harm, giving him a bye[3]!

“Eh?”

Everybody was fairly shocked after they heard the information. How might Shen Qiongguang get injured at such an essential time?

***

It turned out that, apart from collaborating within the Mount Shu Summit, Shen Qiongguang had spent the previous couple of days attending to know the younger woman from the South Melody Conservatory, and so they had been getting alongside fairly effectively. Feeling he had an opportunity along with her, Shen Qiongguang had been very attentive to all the younger woman’s wants.

Then one thing popped up, and the younger woman wanted to return to her sect that very night time earlier than Shen Qiongguang’s match with Chu Liang. Shen Qiongguang determined he would escort the younger woman again to her sect anyway.

Nonetheless, the second the pair left Mount Shu, they bumped into hassle. Two bandits jumped out and tried to rob them. Shen Qiongguang wished to impress the gorgeous younger woman, so he felt this was a heaven-sent alternative.

And not using a second thought, he drew his sword to strike.

Then he was half-beaten to dying with one punch.

It is mentioned the one who struck him was just a little woman who appeared only some years outdated. Fortuitously for Shen Qiongguang, the grownup accompanying the little woman had held her again.

However… the half that was hardest for Shen Qiongguang to simply accept was that after sending him flying, all of the bandits took from the younger woman from the South Melody Conservatory have been two containers of Mount Shu’s specialty berries. Then they left.

Shen Qiongguang thought, Oh, in order that’s all you wished? Why did not you say so earlier?!

***

Shen Qiongguang had solely taken one punch, however that one punch had given him extreme inner and exterior accidents. It had damaged by way of his defenses effortlessly as if breaking by way of one thing dry and rotten. The grownup bandit had even handled Shen Qiongguang’s accidents on the spot, however the injury to Shen Qiongguang’s qi and blood circulation routes could not be healed so simply. He wanted a minimum of ten to fifteen days of mattress relaxation.

It could be pointless to pressure himself to compete in such a state, so he selected to withdraw from the competitors. With just one individual withdrawing, the elders could not choose one other participant to interchange him.

Nor might they choose a alternative from the eradicated individuals. When the sixteen individuals had been lowered to eight within the earlier spherical, the eradicated individuals hadn’t been assigned rankings. That meant it could be unfair to the remaining seven eradicated individuals regardless of who was chosen as Shen Qiongguang’s alternative. It was less complicated to let Shen Qiongguang’s opponent have a bye.

Consequently, Chu Liang was the fortunate one who bought the bye. Identical to that, the Mount Shu Summit bought its first semifinalist!

Chu Liang was extraordinarily stunned too…

I used to be simply consuming sizzling pot and singing some songs. How did I all of a sudden develop into a semifinalist?

It actually appears like some sort of divine destiny.
