Chapter 436: Master Doesn't Mean It That Way

"I know you're fine, but I have a problem."

Feng Feng Yunzheng looked at the ruins before him with aching heart, as if his heart were bleeding.

"Master, what's wrong? Did the lightning strike you?"

"You solve the cost of repairing the cave dwelling yourself; there's nothing extra left on the peak now..."

"Oh, why be so polite between master and disciple? Master doesn't mean it that way."

Feng Feng Yunzheng's originally serious face instantly changed expression upon seeing the bag of spirit stones Lin Bai handed over.

He opened the bag of spirit stones and glanced inside; there were at least a hundred high-grade spirit stones.

He hadn't expected his cheap disciple to be so wealthy, truly a big shot.

"Master, is this enough?"

Seeing the other's expression, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

As expected, this master of mine is one who sees money and opens his eyes.

But Lin Bai didn't mind; he had chosen this master, so he'd spoil him.

"Enough, enough, enough! Why be so polite between master and disciple?"

"No, I just came to ask if you're okay; I have no other meaning."

"But with so many spirit stones, it's unsafe for you to keep them yourself, so this master will reluctantly accept them for you."

Feng Feng Yunzheng, who had been distracted, snapped back to reality, quickly changed his tune, and stored the spirit stones in his spatial storage.

Watching the other's action, Lin Bai only smiled without speaking.

However, those high-grade spirit stones were originally part of the reward for Lin Bai completing this mission.

Lin Bai had actually planned to take out this sum of spirit stones and give them to Feng Feng Yunzheng to repair the sect's entrance.

Seeing that dilapidated entrance every day, Lin Bai felt it didn't match his status.

But now, this could be considered an early payment to the other party.

"Senior brother, are you okay? Is any part of you injured?"

At this moment, other disciples arrived one after another.

Wang Wang Yuping rushed to Lin Bai's side and checked Lin Bai's condition.

"I'm fine."

Lin Bai shook his head, knowing this young man was truly worried about him.

"Wang Wang Yuping, hurry and find another cave dwelling for your senior brother."

Seeing Wang Wang Yuping approach, Feng Feng Yunzheng put away his earlier money-obsessed expression and restored the master's dignity.

Seeing the other's demeanor, Lin Bai only wondered why this master wasn't so serious in front of him.

"Senior brother, you can stay in the cave dwelling next to mine."

"Everything there is complete; although it's not as good as yours, it's still acceptable."

Wang Wang Yuping thought for a moment; the most suitable option currently was the one next to himself.

This would also make it convenient for him to take care of Lin Bai afterward.

"It's fine; anyway, I'll just stay temporarily. Once Master repairs my cave dwelling, I'll return."

Lin Bai nodded; he wasn't particularly picky about the place to stay.

With such a large sum of spirit stones to repair his cave dwelling, even the entrance could definitely be fixed.

"Alright, it's getting late; you all go back and rest now."

"Wang Wang Yuping, tomorrow call a few junior brothers over."

"Help your senior brother repair his cave dwelling; for this period, let him sleep on your side first."

"Just in case your senior brother needs anything, you should fulfill his requests."

After giving a few instructions, Feng Feng Yunzheng turned and returned to his residence.

Lin Bai followed Wang Wang Yuping to his courtyard.

"Senior brother, you stay here."

"If you need anything, just call me; I'm right next to you."

Wang Wang Yuping pointed to his own cave dwelling.

"Fine; it's quite late, so go back and rest quickly."

Lin Bai nodded, turned around, and entered his cave dwelling.

Upon entering the cave dwelling, Lin Bai quickly took the Thousand-Year Snake Charm out of his spatial storage.

He then fed the other the snake pill he had saved for upgrading.

Moments later, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm transformed into human form and appeared beside Lin Bai.

"You're too much! If I hadn't run fast, I'd probably be roasted snake meat by now."

"Next time you break through, can you not put me beside you, or store me in your spatial storage?"

"Either let me out; staying with this man is too dangerous."

Having transformed into human form, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm couldn't help but shout loudly.

Seeing Lin Bai's face full of resentment, if his cultivation base weren't only at the Golden Core Realm, he would definitely challenge this man to a duel.

"Hmm, seems nothing serious."

Lin Bai didn't answer; seeing the furious Thousand-Year Snake Charm, he nodded in satisfaction.

And he himself had successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Divine King Realm entirely by relying on the Thousand-Year Snake Charm's snake pill.

The remaining snake pill still retained some energy.

But for Lin Bai, it was of no use; however, it could allow the Thousand-Year Snake Charm to maintain human form for two hours each day.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you listening or not?"

"You man, don't think just because you're powerful, I can't do anything to you."

"Wait until I cultivate my way back, I will definitely make you look bad."

Seeing that she had blathered on and on, yet this man remained completely unresponsive.

The Thousand-Year Snake Charm instantly grew furious, even feeling that Lin Bai looked down on her.

But it was only fury; at her peak she hadn't been able to deal with this man, let alone now in the Golden Core Realm.

Now, it was no different from talking to a fool.

"Alright, alright, go to sleep quickly; it's already dark."

Lin Bai closed his eyes and waved a hand toward the other.

"Who wants to sleep with you? You..."

The Thousand-Year Snake Charm's words were only halfway out when she reverted to snake form.

The ear suddenly went quiet; Lin Bai opened his eyes and glanced down at the ground.

He saw the Thousand-Year Snake Charm actually lifting her head, staring at Lin Bai with some resentment.

If eyes could truly kill, he would probably have been killed several times over by now.

Lin Bai, amused, picked her up and placed her beside himself, then fell asleep.

Regardless of the dissatisfaction in the Thousand-Year Snake Charm's eyes, Lin Bai paid it no mind.

"Senior brother, senior brother, get up quickly; there's a good show to see."

Early the next morning, Lin Bai was in the middle of a sweet dream when he was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Lin Bai frowned, and even the Thousand-Year Snake Charm lifted her head, looking toward the door with some displeasure.

"Potato, what's wrong again so early in the morning?"

Lin Bai helplessly got up from the bed and opened the Dongfu Sect door.

He saw Wang Wang Yuping standing before him, overjoyed.

"Senior brother, you forgot."

"Didn't Seeing Wei Xiang lose the bet with you? He's now kneeling below our Green Phoenix Peak, naked, learning to bark like a dog."

Wang Wang Yuping was extremely excited, completely ignoring the displeasure in Lin Bai's eyes.

"Oh, this fellow actually keeps his word."

Hearing this, Lin Bai instantly perked up, quickly changed clothes, and followed Wang Wang Yuping down to the foot of Green Phoenix Peak.

By now, the foot of Green Phoenix Peak was already packed with people, surrounding Seeing Wei Xiang in the middle.
