Chapter 244: Swallowing the Cave Heaven in One Bite

These three people, naturally, needed to make some arrangements.

The seals must be placed, just in case; Chen Chuyang's usual practice is to prevent these people from leaking secrets, and also to prevent himself from being discovered.

What happened in the Wild Dragon Snake's cave heaven is utterly absurd and terrifying; having killed the Fifth Heavy Mountain, Chen Chuyang doesn't know what trouble he'll stir up, so he should hide for a while—if he can escape, all the better; although it's likely he won't escape, these seals still need to be placed, for one must not lack caution toward people.

Ming Jianzi and Jing Yuheng were again placed under restraints; Zhuge Ruolan still had them on her, so no need to apply more—this woman also understands Chen Chuyang's methods, she came forward on her own to check, and Chen Chuyang praised her.

"Not bad, remember that—when you go back, you must work hard to build up your wealth; if you have nothing to redeem yourself, what will your fate be? I think you know that better than I do."

"It's essentially buying your life with money; if you have no money, sorry, you can go die."

Useless people are no different from trash in Chen Chuyang's eyes; such people are as good as dead.

Although Zhuge Ruolan was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but acknowledge Chen Chuyang's words—the reasoning is sound, but hearing it to her face still feels heartbreaking.

Even if she experiences the same thing a second time, she still feels very sad and miserable.

You two have no objections, right?

Jing Yuheng immediately shook his head—he didn't dare voice an opinion; raising an objection now would be courting death.

Chen Chuyang is not like others; if he really gets his hands dirty, he's ruthless.

Chen Chuyang, who values money over life, sees only money—and that's fine, at least it lets him live; he needn't worry about Chen Chuyang going back on his word, as long as you stay calm and cause no trouble, you can leave safely.

"None." Ming Jianzi immediately voiced his opinion.

He more or less understood—this man's actions are all standard procedure.

The two women beside him surely know him and his character; one can tell from their practiced ease.

"Um, can we leave now?"

Jing Yuheng didn't want to stay here; this cave heaven could collapse at any moment, and if it did, they'd be buried inside it.

The force of a cave heaven's collapse is terrifying.

Chen Chuyang nodded: "Go ahead, you can leave whenever you want."

Formation, undone, let them leave.

Zhuge Ruolan and the two others exchanged a glance, looked outside—the cave heaven had no cracks, nor any exit.

"Um, can we?" Zhuge Ruolan whispered, looking at Chen Chuyang, her eyes full of anticipation.

Jing Yuheng also looked at Chen Chuyang; the three of them found it too hard to open an exit, getting out might not be easy, no one knows when the cave heaven will collapse—the sooner they leave, the better.

Once the Fifth Heavy Mountain dies, this place will surely be searched.

"Sure, but you'll have to pay extra."

As soon as he said that, the three were stunned—their money had already been taken, leaving nothing extra to give him.

"Pay extra?" They wanted to pay but had no money.

The three exchanged a look, collectively bewildered.

Chen Chuyang laughed: "Don't worry, I've long been prepared."

He took out three IOUs; the price, well, is fair—five thousand spirit stones each.

Wanting to leave is no problem—just pay, and these are his hard-earned fees.

Seeing that price, the three exchanged another glance, wanting to curse and even to strike out.

After weathering inner trials upon trial, they quelled their anger.

"After we sign, will there be no further extra fees?"

Jing Yuheng asked, face dark and tone cold.

Chen Chuyang rubbed his hands: "Of course not, rest assured—I'm fair, this price is the only price, no other fees; you know my character well—I never deceive young or old."

"Once you pay, I'll immediately open an exit and send you out."

Jing Yuheng and the two others exchanged a glance, nodded—this was the only way.

Anyway, having already paid so much, this sum cannot be spared.

The three signed swiftly, feeling as if they were selling themselves.

"Hahaha, not bad—remember to repay when the time comes; you've seen the terms above, don't exceed the deadline, interest is due, and my interest is quite high."

"By the way, a reminder: don't think hiding lets you avoid repayment; we've placed a little trick on your souls—once you…"

He didn't finish the words, only giving a cold smile.

The three all shivered—indeed, things weren't that simple.

Zhuge Ruolan nodded: "Rest assured, we promise to pay every cent we owe."

"Good, I still trust your credit; mainly I'm reminding the two of you: don't forget, I don't like people who owe money and don't pay back."

Ming Jianzi and Jing Yuheng exchanged a glance, utterly embarrassed.

Roll call on the spot—do they not care about saving face?

Finally, Chen Chuyang opened an opening and saw them off.

After they left, Chen Chuyang looked at the dilapidated Wild Dragon Snake cave heaven, which was on the verge of collapse.

He could already see the cave heaven's future—without the Wild Dragon Snake's corpse or eggs, lacking any support, its collapse was inevitable; after a glance, Chen Chuyang went to where the corpse lay, took the last snakeskin, and after gathering everything and checking several times, he missed nothing.

He returned once more to Heishanyang's side; the Fifth Heavy Mountain remained unconscious.

"Kid, the cave heaven is about to collapse—want me to lend a hand?"

Heishanyang said: "If the cave heaven collapses, it will affect everything outside, including Longshe Cheng and your Longshe Shan."

"How would you do it?"

Heishanyang grinned: "Swallow this cave heaven."

Chen Chuyang turned in surprise, staring at Heishanyang—swallowing a cave heaven, is that something a person can do?

"Mountain folk have their own clever schemes."

"Kid, will you or won't you let this old man swallow the cave heaven?"

Chen Chuyang thought for a moment; this cave heaven will sooner or later collapse, keeping it is also a disaster.

"Alright, go ahead and swallow it."

They exited the cave heaven.

Heishanyang began to open its mouth and swallowed it in one bite.

That bite swallowed the entire cave heaven.

The cave heaven, just like that, disappeared.

Chen Chuyang curiously gazed at Heishanyang's belly; after swallowing such a huge cave heaven, there was no trace of bulging.

"Your belly is not bad; how about letting me study it?"

Heishanyang immediately shivered, quickly shook its head: "No, you brat, you wouldn't want to dissect me, would you?"

Thinking of this brat's methods, those cruel methods, saying it's research but actually not treating people as humans.

Everyone around him does that kind of research; if it were my turn, wouldn't it be...?

That consequence, I dare not believe, nor dare... try.

Heishanyang certainly didn't want to be dismembered by Chen Chuyang; this person is capable of anything.
