Chapter 35: Come on, drag him down and behead the dog emperor, and take your life...
During the third replay, Chi Yu couldn't stand it any longer. He snatched the photo stone back and angrily asked, "Are we going to stand here until dark?"
Xie Xiyi regained his composure, turned around and left, "Let's go."
Xiaoqiu laughed secretly and said to Chi Yu, "Our prince loves to hear it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed by and sealed the mouth of the ball.
Xiaoqiu's eyes widened, "Woo woo!"
Chi Yu: "..."
Is it something that cannot be said that you like to listen?
Chi Yu was secretly complaining in his heart. As he followed Xie Xiyi, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind. He realized belatedly that when the prince said he didn't like her... he was not speaking in a sarcastic way, right?
Chi Yu: "..."
It's so awkward.
Although he is already a Jindan realm cultivator, at his core, he is still a 19-year-old boy, right?
Chi Yu couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
He felt that Senior Brother Xuan Ji seemed a little cute.
They headed west, killing several low-level demons on the way, and finally arrived at a city.
The overall color of the city was gray and dark, with a large plaque above it reading "Paradise City".
Chi Yu went to hand in the spirit stones he needed to enter the city. When he heard he had to pay for five high-grade spirit stones, he was stunned. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Five high-grade spirit stones? Isn't that five low-grade spirit stones?"
The cultivator guarding the city gate, also at the Jindan realm, rolled his eyes in disdain upon hearing Chi Yu's words. "Five low-grade spirit stones? No one would pick them up if you threw them on the side of the road! If you can't afford it, get out! Didn't you see the city's name? Bliss, Bliss. People come here to enjoy bliss. If you don't even have this little bit of spirit stones, you still want to enter the city? You'd better go back and feed your mortal mother."
Chi Yu rolled his eyes: "...I really want it."
Chi Yu turned around and was about to leave, but Xie Xiyi reached out and grabbed his collar from behind. He curled the corners of his lips, revealing a smile, and said, "I'll pay you five high-grade spirit stones."
Chi Yu resisted, "Brother Xuanji, let's not go in. Three of us will cost fifteen high-grade spirit stones. It's better not to enter this city."
Chi Yu has no shortage of spirit stones, but he hopes that they can be used for meaningful purposes rather than as meaningless tolls.
Xie Xiyi insisted, "Go into the city, I'll help you."
Chi Yu didn't understand the prince's insistence, but he insisted on going in, so Chi Yu changed his mind. He walked back and reluctantly took out five high-grade spirit stones from the Xumi Ring. He said to Xie Xiyi, "No need, Senior Brother Xuanji, I'll pay for it myself."
Then he said angrily, "It would be better if there is some bliss, otherwise this spirit stone will be wasted."
After entering the city, Chi Yu discovered that this city was more prosperous than ever before. There were cultivators walking around everywhere, and at first glance, their cultivation levels were surprisingly not low, with very few cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. It was highly likely that the five high-quality spirit stones as an entrance fee had screened out a group of Qi Refining stage cultivators.
Not only that, there are also a lot of vendors, and the streets are crowded with vendors selling things.
Chi Yu had been to many monastic cities, but he had rarely seen such a prosperous one. He couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect there would be such a prosperous city in the wilderness."
The ball exclaimed, "Ah!" and said, "It's a gambling house!"
Chi Yu paused and followed Xiaoqiu's gaze. Sure enough, he saw rows of gambling houses on both sides of the street. Not only that, the entire street was filled with gambling houses.
Xiaoqiu excitedly reached out to pull Chi Yu, "Brother Aotian, let's go to the gambling house."
Chi Yu was horrified, "No, children shouldn't gamble!"
Xiaoqiu rarely saw Chi Yu's expression change, so this time he was a little surprised. After a while, he asked, "Why can't I touch it?"
Chi Yu argued confidently, "Gambling is something you shouldn't touch. It damages your brain. The human brain has a reward mechanism. If you spend a small amount of Spiritual Stones to get a large amount, over time it will become impossible to do normal work. It will become addictive, and it's not good."
Xiaoqiu: "...Brother Aotian, I don't know what you are talking about. This kind of thing is not addictive. Mortals may be addicted, but we are cultivators. We go in to play and walk out, and we are ordinary cultivators again. Nothing will change."
Chi Yu was stunned. "...Is that so?"
Xiaoqiu laughed, "Yes, if a cultivator can't even overcome this problem, how can he possibly practice cultivation?"
Xie Xiyi said nothing, but walked into a gambling house first.
Xiaoqiu quickly followed behind him, and when he reached the door, he turned around and called out to Chi Yu, "Brother Aotian, come quickly."
Chi Yu: "..."
He hesitated for a moment, and when he saw them both go in, he pursed his lips and followed them in.
Although Xiaoqiu was confident, Chi Yu regarded gambling as a disaster and had no intention of touching it.
There were many monks in the gambling house, but the atmosphere was not very lively. Everyone faced it with a slight excitement, which formed a subtle contrast with the violent emotional fluctuations of mortal gamblers.
After seeing this scene, Chi Yu reluctantly believed what Xiaoqiu said.
It seems that monks will not get addicted, but Chi Yu still sticks to the line in his heart and does not intend to touch it.
Xiaoqiu said he wanted to come in and play, but in fact he was just playing Mantouzi, a number guessing game. A dice was put in with a magic tool that could block spiritual consciousness, and the players had to guess whether the number was big or small.
Xiaoqiu went to play happily, Chi Yu watched from the side, and Xie Xiyi looked around with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
Chi Yu caught a glimpse of the smile on his lips and felt that he was about to do something naughty again. This was also the prince's signature expression. He couldn't help but reach out and tug at Xie Xiyi's sleeve, lowering his voice and asking him, "Brother Xuanji, is there something wrong with this gambling house?"
Xie Xiyi lowered his eyes to glance at him and chuckled, "No."
Chi Yu said: "...Then why do you have that intriguing expression?"
"Interesting?" Xie Xiyi said in a pleasant voice, "I didn't expect you to be able to understand the emperor's intentions. You are so talented. If I could become the emperor, I would make you an attendant."
Chi Yu was delighted: "I thank the Lord for His Majesty's grace! - But I feel that the position of attendant is not enough to reflect my talents. Your Majesty, please appoint me as a prime minister."
Xie Xiyi snorted and laughed, "Prime Minister, if someone as lazy as you could become prime minister, the country would be doomed soon."
Chi Yu refused to be outdone and said, "If you, the emperor, don't even have the ability to turn the tide, then you shouldn't be the emperor anymore. Go home and farm."
Xie Xiyi narrowed his golden eyes slightly, and said in a stern tone, "How dare you speak to me like this? Come, drag him away and behead him."
Chi Yu shouted, "Since Your Majesty is so ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust. Hey, you dog emperor, give me your life!"
The monk next to him: "..."
They took a few steps back, away from them.
Little Ball: “…”
Why do I feel a little embarrassed?
Chi Yu withdrew his magical powers and asked Xie Xiyi, "Brother Xuanji, aren't you going to play?"
Xie Xiyi said, "Boring."
Chi Yu was puzzled, "Then what are we doing here?"
Xie Xiyi glanced at him and asked, "Don't you want to play with the ball?"
“…” Chi Yu: “Oh.”
Although Xiaoqiu is a servant on the surface, Senior Brother Xuanji loves him very much.
It was just as he thought. Senior Brother Xuan Ji was such a good person.
Good Guy Card+1.jpg
The two of them watched Xiaoqiu playing from the left and right. Chi Yu saw that Xiaoqiu really didn't seem to be addicted. He just played the game normally. He didn't get too excited about betting on spirit stones, so he felt relieved.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came to Chi Yu's ears, "Junior Brother Long."
Chi Yu was stunned and turned his head to look. It was Qingxuan. He was very shocked. He called up the system panel and found that the coordinates of Qingxuan and his senior brother had overlapped with theirs at some point.
He asked dryly, "Brother Qingxuan, why are you here? Isn't this too much of a coincidence!?"
Qingxuan still had that cold and aloof demeanor, "It's just a coincidence."
He paused, looked at Chi Yu, smiled slightly, and said, "Since we meet here, why not go together."
Chi Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, Xie Xiyi said: "Sure."
Chi Yu was startled and turned to look at Xie Xiyi. He saw the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing that intriguing smile again. He said, "The wilderness is so vast, it's fate that we met. In that case, let's go together."
Qingxuan didn't expect him to agree. His pupils dilated slightly, and then he regained his calm expression. "That's great—Senior Brother Xuanji, don't you want to play?"
Xie Xiyi said: "My child loves to play, so I won't touch it."
Qingxuan said: "There is no such rule in the Zen sect. It is okay for Senior Brother Xuanji to play around as he pleases."
Xie Xiyi narrowed his golden eyes slightly, looked at him and smiled again, "In that case, you play with me."
Qingxuan paused, smiled slightly, and said, "Since Senior Brother Xuanji has something to ask for, I will certainly be there to accompany you."
Xiaoqiu stopped playing with the steamed buns and retreated to Chi Yu to watch the fun.
Xie Xiyi: "Playing with steamed buns, comparing small ones."
Qingxuan nodded slightly, and Xie Xiyi raised the corner of his mouth. "Let's make the bet bigger. How about a top-grade spirit stone?"
Qingxuan paused, then said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Senior Brother Xuanji, this is too much."
Xie Xiyi said without hesitation: "It's just one top-grade spirit stone. There's no point in playing with it if it's less."
As he spoke, he looked at Qingxuan with a smile, his golden eyes bright and aggressive.
Chi Yu, watching from the sidelines, felt that the prince had a bit of a villainous aura about him. After all, he had no grudge against Senior Brother Qingxuan, right? Why was he targeting him so?
Chi Yu was puzzled but didn't show it on his face.
It was impossible for him to go out and smooth things over at this time, so staying out of it was the best option.
Qingxuan was not provoked by Xie Xiyi and just said, "In that case, I will play a game with Senior Brother Xuanji."
He said this and made a gesture of invitation, "Senior brother, please go first."
Xie Xiyi humbly said, "No, Junior Brother, you go."
Qingxuan paused, stopped refusing, took the dice holder and started shaking the dice.
After a few breaths, he stopped, the dice cup fell to the ground, and he took away the dice cup. All three dice were one.
There is no skill involved, it's purely luck. After all, the dice tube magic tool can isolate the five senses and consciousness. Only by perceiving luck can you get the points you want.
For monks, this kind of game essentially tests their awareness of luck.
Qingxuan also made no secret of the fact that he had studied this area.
Xie Xiyi smiled slightly, reached out to pick up a few dice on the table, and put them into the cylindrical magic weapon.
The monks around seemed to have gathered together to watch the excitement. The entire gambling house was noisy unlike that in the mortal world, as if you could hear a pin drop.
Xiaoqiu lowered his voice and said to Chi Yu, "Your Highness seems to dislike this senior brother."
Chi Yu also whispered to him, "You just realized it? I realized it a long time ago."
Xie Xiyi ignored their movements. A subtle sarcasm appeared on his handsome face, which was made clearer and more real by his domineering golden eyes. "Junior brother, if you lose, can you take out a top-grade spirit stone?"
Qing Xuan remained neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a cold tone, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother Xuan Ji, I can still come up with a top-grade spirit stone."
Xie Xiyi raised his arm, and his wide sleeves slipped off, revealing his cold, white, lean muscles. His finger bones were exceptionally slender, revealing an extraordinary sense of strength. The dice roll was a magical instrument, unable to be activated by spiritual energy or observed by divine sense or ear perception. Therefore, only the most primitive methods of rolling and guessing the dice could be used. This could be considered a return to nature, and it could bring the cultivator the most essential pleasure.
Xie Xiyi didn't find it fun, but he was keen on destroying the order, so he used his wrist to shake the black dice cup seriously.
After a few breaths, the dice jar fell to the ground. Xie Xiyi let go and opened the dice jar, but found three dice stacked together. Only the top dice showed a number.
Xie Xiyi raised the corner of his lips, "Junior brother, you are still too conventional."
Then he said, "Small ball."
The little ball immediately jumped out and stretched out his hand to Qingxuan, "Hello, Senior Brother, just give me the spirit stone. Our Highness doesn't touch this stuff."
Chi Yu watched from the side and felt that this scene was familiar——
It seems that Senior Brother Xuan Ji was quite gentle to him, and he only charged him 500 medium-grade spirit stones for the first time... That would be strange!
Poor Tom was played around with.jpg
Qingxuan's expression remained unchanged. He naturally took out a top-grade spirit stone and placed it in Xiaoqiu's hand. "I accept the loss," he said.
This humble and courteous manner quickly won the favor of many people. "Since you are brothers, why do you have to make such a big deal? It is unacceptable for fellow disciples to kill each other."
"That's right, you're such a boring senior brother. I was kind enough to play with you, but you actually went so far. That's a top-grade spirit stone. If it were a lower-grade spirit stone, it would be fine. But a top-grade spirit stone can allow a foundation-building cultivator to practice for more than a year. It's a precious cultivation resource."
"That's right, that's right."
Chi Yu looked at Xie Xiyi, but he didn't react. He asked Qingxuan, "Junior brother, are you still playing?"
Qingxuan said: "Senior Brother Xuanji, I am short of money and can't play anymore."
Xie Xiyi raised the corner of his lips, "Then we won't play anymore."
He was the first to walk out of the gambling house, Chi Yu and Xiao Qiu quickly followed, and Qing Xuan also followed.
Chi Yu originally wanted to refuse Qingxuan's request to follow him. After all, he was inseparable from his senior brother, who was rather annoying. However, since the prince had spoken, he did not say anything.
Since they were now partners, Chi Yu had an unshirkable obligation to lubricate them, so he smiled and said to Qing Xuan, "Brother Qing Xuan, where is Brother Ming Xin?"
Qingxuan said: "He is playing on the second floor, we don't need to worry about him."
Chi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh."
Chi Yu asked, "What is Senior Brother Qingxuan's mission?"
Qingxuan said: "Five hundred demons in the middle stage of foundation building."
Chi Yu gasped, "Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment! Five hundred! Brother Qingxuan, you have a huge task. I wonder how many you have completed so far?"
Qingxuan paused and replied calmly, "So far, only six have been killed."
《only》.jpg
Chi Yu exclaimed, "A demon in the middle stage of foundation building is equivalent to a demon in the great perfection of foundation building or the early stage of golden elixir. Brother, you have killed six of them in just a few days. That's really impressive!"
He had an overly beautiful face, soft and childish. He was clearly a cultivator at the foundation-building stage, but when he said this, he showed genuine admiration and worship.
Qingxuan looked at Chiyu deeply and asked, "What is your mission?"
Chi Yu naturally did not hide it: "We have 300 demons at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and now we have only completed one."
He said a little embarrassedly: "It's mainly because I'm holding you back——"
Before he finished speaking, his head suddenly hurt. He turned his head to look, but it was Xie Xiyi who clenched his fist and gave him a chestnut. Seeing him looking at him, he said dangerously: "You talk too much."
Chi Yu: "???"
Chi Yu shouted, "Brother Xuan Ji! Why did you hit me? If you didn't want to listen, just cover your ears instead of asking me to shut up. Everyone has the freedom to speak! OK?"
Xie Xiyi narrowed his eyes, his smile faded, and he said, "Okay, I don't care about you anymore."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xiaoqiu struggled between the two of them and hurriedly said to Chi Yu, "Brother Aotian, His Highness is angry. I'll go and comfort him."
After saying that, he ran away after Xie Xiyi.
Chi Yu touched his head which was hurt by Xie Xiyi's blow, turned to Qingxuan and said, "Brother Qingxuan, you see! Brother Xuanji has a really bad temper! He hits people whenever he wants. I didn't say anything just now, and he hit me on the head. If he hits me until I become stupid, what will happen? I have no choice but to be in the same team with Brother Xuanji. Brother Qingxuan, you have a choice, don't team up with us!"
Qingxuan looked at his lively and vivid face, and a faint smile appeared on his cold and handsome face. He said: "No problem, but you, Junior Brother Long... If you can't stand the grievances with Senior Brother Xuanji, why not join our team."
Chi Yu was stunned, "Huh?"
Qingxuan said, "Don't worry about Mingxin making things difficult for you." He paused, pursed his lips, and said, "I will protect you."
Chi Yu: "??"
Chi Yu: "Uh, Senior Brother Qingxuan, are you serious?"
Qingxuan said: "Of course I am serious."
Chi Yu was silent for a moment: "..."
An outrageous operation that no one expected occurred.
Chi Yu gave an awkward yet polite smile and declined, "Uh, Senior Brother Qingxuan, there's an old saying in the mortal world: if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Now that I'm with Senior Brother Xuanji, I will be faithful to him forever, so I'm sorry. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Qingxuan. I appreciate it."
Qingxuan was silent for a while before he said calmly, "Nothing."
After a while, he asked Chi Yu, "Junior Brother Long, will you go to the Buddhist sect to receive ordination in the future?"
Chi Yu was stunned for a moment and replied, "No." After a pause, he asked again, "Brother Qingxuan, what about you? You entered the Zen sect, do you want to go to the Buddhist sect to receive ordination?"
Qingxuan said: "Probably not."
He spoke vaguely, and Chi Yu had no idea what he meant, so he didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, Chi Yu also realized why the prince hit him like that. He wanted him to stop talking too much to Qingxuan.
Chi Yu had always remembered what he said, but the prince just loved to tease people. When they first met, he had even given him 500 medium-grade spirit stones, which was not a small amount of money. Did he do anything wrong? No, he didn't.
From this we can see that the prince is indeed a bit bad as Xiaoqiu said, and there seems to be no reason for his badness.
Oh, wait, this is somewhat similar to the villain.
But that's impossible. The prince can't be the villain. There have been five hundred years in between. How could he think of the villain again?
Chi Yu was silent, perhaps because he missed home too much.
During the moment when Chi Yu was silent, Qing Xuan took the initiative to speak: "There is something strange in Paradise City."
Chi Yu came back to his senses, "What?"
Qingxuan said: "It's so clean."
Chi Yu humbly asked, "Brother Qingxuan, how can being too clean be considered strange?"
Qingxuan said: "The wild land is where monsters, demons, and devil cultivators gather, but this city is very clean, without a trace of devilish or demonic energy."
Chi Yu understood and asked solemnly, "What's the reason?"
Qingxuan looked at him - he was clearly a genius who had achieved the foundation-building stage in his teens, but he appeared so weak and so dependent on others.
Qingxuan couldn't say that he didn't enjoy it. On the contrary, he liked Chi Yu's appearance very much. Although his eyes were looking at Chi Yu's face, his consciousness was scanning every inch of Chi Yu's skin. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her eyes were clear.
There is no shortage of beautiful young cultivators in the world of cultivation, but there are very few beautiful young men like Chi Yu who have profound cultivation, outstanding talents, are lively and cheerful, and have no arrogance, debauchery, or arrogance.
Qing Xuan's eyes darkened for a moment, and he said, "This shows that there is a high possibility that there are big fish in this Paradise City."
Chi Yu suddenly became nervous and subconsciously said, "I have to tell Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
Qing Xuan stopped him and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji also knows that he forced me to use a piece of top-grade spirit stone as a bet in the gambling house. I guess he did this to attract the attention of the person behind it."
"..." Chi Yu clapped his fists, his face suddenly enlightened. "So there's such a deep meaning! I was stupid and didn't realize it. But, is it really okay for us to just say it on the street?"
Isn’t this just conspiring out loud?
Qingxuan looked at his clumsy appearance and felt a little apprehensive. He said coldly, "Nothing. No one else heard it."
Chi Yu realized belatedly that Qingxuan had already set up a soundproof barrier nearby and couldn't help but praise him, "Brother Qingxuan is really thoughtful."
Qingxuan wondered how he managed to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage?
He must be another second-generation immortal with considerable wealth. He may be gifted, but in the end, he was forced to grow by various rare treasures before he reached the foundation-building stage.
Chi Yu didn't know what Qingxuan was thinking of him. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Qingxuan, but he was somewhat wary of him because of what the prince had said to him. Therefore, he tried his best to praise and flatter him, and did not really integrate himself into the environment of the cultivation world. He didn't know what was wrong with his gentle attitude as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although Senior Brother Qingxuan seemed very reliable, Chi Yu was not used to being separated from the Crown Prince, so he decided to act with the Crown Prince. He said, "Let's go find Senior Brother Xuanji first."
While opening the system panel, he wanted to see where the prince was.
As a result, I saw that the prince's coordinates overlapped with theirs.
Chi Yu: "..."
Ah, this guy is right next to us?
