Chapter 189  : Whoever Prevents Me from Using the Internet Shall be Made A Fool Of Themselves!

At this time, in front of the Spirit King Cave in Spirit Valley, the Elder Gui Da had already put set up the tea ceremony. He took out his finest tea, used his newest equipment. A tea set that was opened for the first time was all placed on the bluestone platform outside to serve the brilliant disciple of Azure Mountain.

He then showed a troubled expression, “Fellow cultivator Qi, Law-enforcer Zhu was personally selected by the Bodhisattva, and without Bodhisattva’s approval, we cannot let you bring her back to the Azure Mountain. Even Law-enforcer Zhu herself has expressly refused. So, I request fellow cultivator to leave the Spirit Valley after taking this cup of tea.”

Qi Mei held on to the teacup, not moving one bit. She asked indifferently, “In that case, you should ask your Bodhisattva to come out, and let him talk to me.”

Elder Gui Da shook his head, “Our Bodhisattva is currently training in isolation, and what he is doing is related to all life in this world. He will do this for the next half a year, at the very least. I ask for you to return after that time.”

Qi Mei laughed after hearing so. “Related to all life in this world? I don’t think so, I think that our Azure Mountain’s capabilities are not powerful enough, so Bodhisattva feels that there is no need for him to come out personally. Should I show it again?”

Elder Gui Da shook his head and said nothing.

Zhu Hongying’s face turned completely red, but she withheld her anger. The three attendants behind her, Ma Da, Lu Er, and Niu Si, were all watching her nervously.

Lu Er whispered to Ma Da through Telepathy. “Elder Sister is about to lose it…”

Ma Da did not lift his eyelids, and only said, “That is impossible, we can only endure for now; oh, do you think that Vigilante A would beat us up when he comes back? Half a year ago, we were the ones who ran away, he would no longer cause you trouble only if you were released after accepting your lesson.”

Lu Er was speechless, “Boss Ma, it’s already been so long, and yet you still remember this?”

Ma Da replied, “Of course, we can only do anything about this matter, anything else, we can only watch and see.”

…

Qi Mei saw that Elder Gui Da was not saying anything, and continued. “I know that you’ve invited that so-called Venerable Dragon God over here. The reason why you didn’t conceal your actions in the cave was to deliberately let me overhear, right? Very well, I do also want to meet him. After three years, I wonder what the heroes of the world have become in this time?”

When Zhu Hongying heard her words, the anger in her heart was hard to suppress. She already understood in secret that Qi Mei did not come here for her. She was using her as an excuse, and her true objective was to target the Bodhisattva Spirit King.

This moment, Xie Dong looked towards Qiao Zijiang in worry and said to her telepathically, “Zijiang, during New Years when I came here to inspect this place, this Gui Da was already full of lies. At that time, he reported that the Spirit King would have some big plan this year. Now he is saying that the Bodhisattva will be exiting isolation in half a year, which would be August in the Gregorian calendar. In another few days from that, it would be the Ghost Festival along with the Mid-Autumn Festival. For the Bodhisattva Spirit King to choose that time to exit isolation, it seems that is the time where they will act.”

Qiao Zijiang replied telepathically, “You should be right. We must find a chance to transmit this information back. We succeeded in forcing them out, but failed in getting them to compromise. The Venerable Dragon God had some conflict with this disciple of Azure Mountain. We can only act as we move along, and try to seize control of the situation.”

Qi Mei was currently acting as if she had completely forgotten about Zhu Hongying’s existence. There was no longer any semblance of her previous behavior of accepting her as a disciple. She did not drink the tea, did not speak, and merely closed her eyes and meditated, waiting for the arrival of that Venerable Dragon God.

The seconds passed into minutes. The Yin wind which blew intermittently was repelled outside the bluestone platform by the auras emitted by the group, and merely lingered outside the Spirit King Cave.

Around half an hour later, everyone stood up at the same time and looked towards the Northern sky. There was a long, green dragon currently looking down from the clouds. On the dragon’s head was a beard, eyes, horns, lips, and nose, it did not lack anything. It looked exactly like the dragons from myths.

Qi Mei’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the green dragon, and she muttered to herself, “It really is a dragon. Our Azure Mountain has so many rare and precious beasts, but there’s never been a true dragon before.”

After speaking, without even waiting for the dragon to approach, she jumped towards it, her figure flying through the sky.

Seeing this, Elder Gui Da hurriedly activated a spell and followed after her. Gui Er also did the same.

Qiao Zijiang instructed Xie Dong to send the report and summoned a gigantic snow-white cloud. No one could determine what kind of demon it was. She sat on the cloud and soared away into the sky.

Zhu Hongying’s figure braced, preparing to float upwards.

Her three attendants exchanged looks, and Lu Er shouted, “Elder Sister, we can’t go up…”

Zhu Hongying glared at them, “I let you lot just eat and drink all day as usual, and not cultivate properly. You can just stay down there and watch. Your bodies are too heavy, I won’t be able to bring even one of you.”

After saying that, she floated away by herself.

While Lu Er stared after her, Ma Da and Niu Si were already noisily plopping themselves down on the tea seats earlier. They exchanged a set of teacups and poured some tea out from the teapot.

Lu Er only saw his two buddies sitting there and drinking tea when he turned back. Dazed, he asked, “Elder Sister is above spectating, what are you two doing over there?”

Ma Da glared at him, “Didn’t you hear Elder Sister remind us to eat and drink? Hurry over here to drink tea. That little missy from Azure Mountain must be used to her life of luxury, so she must not care about us. The tea that our Elder brought out is top quality. It is rich in vitality, and is even better than superior grade vitality pills. Only this pot was brewed well, in another half an hour, it would be useless. I suspect they will use around half a day’s time to fight, so we shouldn’t waste the tea.”

Lu Er was struck by a realization. Boss Ma’s brain was still the best. He hurriedly sat himself down, and also took out a new cup, holding it out to Elder Ma to pour him tea.

After that, he saw Xie Dong sitting to the side meditating with his eyes closed, and called out well-naturedly. “Hey, brother from the Truth Department, come over here and have some tea. We have just enough seats for four.”

Xie Dong shook his head. He was from the Truth Department System, and he had special abilities. In actuality, he had quite a large collection, he did not need to snatch away other’s cultivating resources.

Right now, above the Spirit King Cave blocked of Yin energy, a group of highly qualified people were currently watching on in concern.

Elder Gui Da, upon seeing the green dragon appear, naturally knew that he was the Venerable Dragon God. He hurriedly took the opportunity to tell him the entire story with all the details once again.

Qi Mei did not refute anything as well, and only smiled and nodded.

The green dragon did not change into his Vigilante A form, and said, “In that case, I shall advise this disciple from Azure Mountain. In this world, you should act with reason. Do not do things that are beyond your power. I suggest you go find another person, do not waste your time here.”

Qi Mei laughed, “That’s not impossible to do, as long as you come back with me to the Mountain. Although Azure Mountain is rural and does not maintain contact with the outside world, it is full of lush and vibrant vegetation, and thick in vitality. There are also various rare and precious beasts. Life there will be far superior compared to here in the mortal world.

Qiao Zijiang understood. It looked like this Qi Mei was not afraid of causing a scene. It was obvious that she wanted to subdue the Venerable Dragon God, and then coerce the Bodhisattva Spirit King. “I wonder who exactly gave her all this courage?” She thought to herself.

The green dragon was stunned.

The System said, “Hey, what is she saying?”

Fang Ning was speechless, “You can’t even understand this? She wants to rear you like livestock. When the time comes, your life would be worse than a dog’s, at least you would have a dog’s independence with the Truth Department, and still have dog rights. If you were to follow them, they would tell you to pull carriages just to keep up their appearance. In myths, deities would show off by using dragons to pull carriages when traveling, so do you still think that you can farm monsters and train? I would be worse off, since I could only stay cooped up in the System Space, no longer able to access the internet.”

The System, “Preposterous! Let me embarrass her in front of the others.”

Fang Ning, “Those who prevent me from using the internet shall be made a fool of themselves!”

The System, “So you agreed, my awesome Multi-millionaire host! I shall now chase her away!”

The green dragon recovered and grew furious, “What a joke! I left on the mandate of Heaven and descended because of the will of the people. I bear incomprehensible responsibility, how could I follow you back to that Azure Mountain! I see that you are sinful, yet it is not deep. I shall give you one word of advice. Hurry and return to your Mountain to cultivate. Do not use your strength to flaunt your might everywhere!”

Qi Mei sneered after listening. “In the end, I still have to reveal my hand! If it weren’t for that event three years ago, I wouldn’t bother beating around the bush with you. Hurry and call the Bodhisattva Spirit King out and make him resurrect a beast for me, and I’ll call us even today! Or else, I’ll level this Spirit King Valley!

Elder Gui Da felt terrified after hearing her words. He looked towards Gui Er, only to see that he too was struck dazed, his gaze directed to the Venerable Dragon God.

In the past, he had been frightened to death by him, but now only he could help them stand up for justice and prevent a disaster.

The green dragon said, “The Bodhisattva Spirit King is a sincere gentleman. Since he cannot exit isolated cultivation, and what he is doing involves all life in the world, I cannot let just anyone disturb him. Besides, aren’t you just acting out of your own selfish desires? In half a year, you will have your chance. Why must you insist on forcing people now?”

Qi Mei had run out of patience a long time ago. It was only because she was punished to go into isolation after what happened three years ago that she was able to tolerate it this long.

The only reason she was able to descend from mountain now was that her master said some words to the powers-that-be. Before she left, her master had nagged that she absolutely ‘must not create trouble’. Those last four words were said in a particularly heavy tone of voice…

However, this time it was not her who created trouble. It was this green dragon which forced her into this.

She sneered at his words and immediately pulled out the jade bottle from before. After a pause, the image of the Yin energy entering appeared again. The near limitless Yin energy below the Spirit Valley rushed to the jade bottle, similar to a fountain.

Zhu Hongying, Elder Gui Da, and Elder Gui Er all shouted at the same time, “Venerable One, you mustn’t allow the Yin energy to be taken away, or else the evil spirits being suppressed in the mountain will run amok!”

The green dragon was stunned again.

Fang Ning said, “Sir System, I know what you are thinking. Carry out your duty first.”

The System said “Oh, alright…”

The green dragon’s entire body shuddered, and a string of purple electricity crackled in the air. In an instant, it was shot above the jade bottle. The dragon let out a roar which shook the nine heavens.

Qi Mei could not help but laugh mockingly, “Here is another one who wants to take the Jade Treasure Bottle. Don’t be conceited! Did you think that I had simply thrown it out there? My precious, come back!”

However, that jade bottle did not go back, and was instead swallowed whole by the green dragon.

Qi Mei felt confused, but immediately cast her technique and recited, “Yin and Yang energy reinforces and counteracts each other, explode!”

The green dragon shook its head and wagged its tail. It soared back into the sky, and once again looked down at her.

At first, Qi Mei still had a face full of confidence, but her expression started to falter. “Damn it, this is impossible. The Jade Treasure Bottle was cultivated using my blood and sweat. No matter what interspatial equipment it is kept in, it can never block my own blood!”

The System said, “We’ve obtained another precious item, but it’s not very well behaved, so I locked it up in a closed cell.”

Fang Ning held his thumb out. “Nice job!”

Qi Mei’s expression quickly calmed. A Buddhist instrument appeared in her hands, and ten sparkling silver needles could be seen in them.

She raised her hand in the air, and those silver needles lined up in layers and shot towards the dragon.

That green dragon let out a roar again which shook the heavens. The silver needles which were shooting towards it then immediately disappeared.

Qi Mei suddenly cried, “That roar of yours is weird. To be able to disperse the Spiritual Sense Injunction I blessed on my talisman…”

However, she did not get flustered. A treasure sword suddenly appeared in her hand. The blade flashed, and she lunged towards the green dragon and struck out at once!

Fang Ning said, “Ai, there are actually people who dare to come to close combat with you, Sir System. Isn’t she the first one?”

The System said, “I don’t care if she’s the first. I just want to make her understand that it’s safer for her if she threw her talisman like before…”

…

This moment, at the Truth Department Headquarters, Gu Buwei, who was currently discussing the procedures of the Treasure Trading Convention with Ren Ruofeng, suddenly stilled, and a smile broke out on his face.

Beside him, Ren Ruofeng felt curious after seeing his smile, and asked, “Fellow cultivator Gu, why are you suddenly smiling?”

Gu Buwei shook his head “It’s nothing. It appears that little girl is being naughty again.”

Ren Ruofeng did not pursue the topic and also acted as if everything was fine. He continued to introduce the various materials and discuss with Gu Buwei.

They needed to issue an official pricing guide for most of the vitality materials to ease the trading process in the Treasure Trading Convention, or else the efficiency would decrease as everyone would think that their own items are better, and they would not come to a deal even after discussing for half a day. This situation would be common in the early stage, and it could take half a day of bargaining just for a piece of crappy wood with few uses.
