Chapter 46: Yang Xue: Is Gold Cabbage These Days

~7 min read 1,314 words

Outside Tianlu City, within the Nancheng base.

"Regarding this beast tide, our side afterward has already sent people to investigate. Based on the movement trajectory of that Fission-stage Five-Colored Wagyu, he should be dead!"

Inside the high-level conference room of the Nancheng base, Jing Chunan at this moment distributed the investigation report in his hand.

Based on their post-incident tracking of the Five-Colored Wagyu's trajectory.

They discovered that at what should have been the Five-Colored Wagyu's resting area, a crack had suddenly appeared on the ground.

The crack seemed to have been split open by some kind of sharp object, and around it the Five-Colored Wagyu's fresh blood was scattered about.

Coupled with the fact that they hadn't found the Five-Colored Wagyu's corpse, they guessed there was an eighty percent chance it was dead.

"Interesting. No signs of a struggle at the scene. To be able to instantly kill a Fission-stage fierce beast — which Blessed One stepped in?"

Inside the high-level conference room, upon the head seat, a young man who looked no more than twenty-something, glanced at the report casually.

Based on the on-site photos in the report, that Fission-stage Five-Colored Wagyu hadn't even managed to put up a resistance before it was already dead.

This kind of strength is not something an ordinary Blessed One could achieve.

It's just that he was quite curious — how could a Blessed One pass through a fringe city like Tianlu City?

"Fine, since the matter here is resolved, I'll be leaving!"

Taking his legs down from the conference room table, the young man contemptuously swept a glance at everyone present, then turned and left directly.

If the higher-ups hadn't sent him here to provide support, he couldn't even be bothered to make this trip.

A city base — a remote city base at that — really couldn't pique his interest.

"This........"

The young man's attitude, for a moment, caused the faces of everyone at the Nancheng base to immediately turn ugly.

Jing Chunan, who was at the head, forcibly held back his fury, yet didn't dare say anything.

The other party was not a Blessed like him. If he were to anger the other party, it would be hard to say whether the other party might do something.

Staring at the young man until he left, Jing Chunan then fiercely pounded the table.

This is the sorrow of insufficient strength!

"Sigh, don't be angry. At any rate, the beast tide crisis this time has been resolved!"

Behind Jing Chunan, the Nancheng base's second-in-command, Li Yunfei, patted his shoulder.

With strength on par with Jing Chunan, also a first-tier Blessed, Li Yunfei also couldn't stand these people.

But the strength was right there. Even if he couldn't stand it, there was nothing to be done.

The beast tide still needed these people, and even the dungeon raids required these people's efforts.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Shaking his head, as the base's person in charge, Jing Chunan wasn't that sentimental.

He was merely lamenting the insufficiency of his own ability.

If he had the strength of a ninth-tier Blessed, if the Nancheng base's strength were a bit stronger, perhaps things would be much better.

And at the same time, within the Nancheng base.

With the beast tide's end, Jianghe and Yang Xue were also temporarily liberated.

"Let's go, the shop owner should be back!"

Having obtained permission to leave the base, Jianghe didn't hesitate, directly pulling Yang Xue along, heading straight for Su Mu's gourmet shop.

During this period, because of the beast tide.

They had to be on standby at the base at all times.

Now that it was finally over, Jianghe immediately began looking forward to Su Mu's gourmet food.

Thinking of the power of the food within, Jianghe's heart secretly stirred with excitement.

The two traveled along, and in no time at all, arrived before Su Mu's shop.

Seeing the gourmet shop had indeed reopened, Jianghe and Yang Xue excitedly walked in.

"Shop owner, we've come to bother you again."

The moment they stepped into the shop, the familiar oppressive feeling came over them. Jianghe and Yang Xue first respectfully offered a greeting.

After all, this place was the legendary domain of a deity — they didn't dare be careless.

"Mm, it's been quite a few days since I've seen you two!"

Looking at the two before him, Su Mu revealed a faint smile.

In a certain sense, these two could be considered Su Mu's very first customers.

After all, the other customers were all found by the system.

These two were the natives of this world.

"Hehe, shop owner, it's just that we've been busy with things lately!"

Chuckling awkwardly, although Su Mu had asked, Jianghe didn't think Su Mu really wanted to know what the two of them had been busy with.

After all, a small matter like a beast tide — how could it catch a deity's eye.

Thinking this inwardly, Jianghe and Yang Xue sat down.

Just as they were preparing to order, they saw several figures slowly walking in from outside the gourmet shop.

The person at the head was none other than Yue Buqun, who had always been the most eager.

The moment he arrived, he immediately found a seat and sat down.

At the same time, his gaze turned with considerable curiosity toward Abbot Xuan Ci and the other person who had arrived behind him.

Last time Abbot Xuan Ci asked Zhang Sanfeng's name. He wondered whether he had gone to fight Zhang Sanfeng.

No, wait — it should be whether he had managed to beat Zhang Sanfeng.

Regarding this piece of gossip, Yue Buqun felt he was very interested in finding out.

But to Yue Buqun's surprise, after Abbot Xuan Ci arrived, he said nothing—not even glancing at Zhang Sanfeng.

This scene left Yue Buqun bewildered.

What had happened?

Shaolin's face had been slapped, yet Abbot Xuan Ci just… did nothing?

What Yue Buqun did not know was that Abbot Xuan Ci's inner thoughts were even more bitter.

Do you think he didn't want to come and show off?

But after searching all of Wu Lin, he discovered one thing.

That in his own world, there was no Wudang Sect—no Zhang Sanfeng at all.

What could he do? What could he possibly do?

So now, he could only remain silent.

"You're all here early!"

Just as the atmosphere inside the food shop grew increasingly silent, Tang San walked in, strutting with pride through the door.

Lately, he had been thriving.

Not only had his soul force broken through, but he had brought back fried rice with eggs, allowing Hearing Xiao Wu's soul force to break through as well.

The teachers at the Starry Stream Academy had decided: tomorrow, they would set out for the Starry Beast Forest to personally help them obtain their Soul Weapons.

He was here now, before departure, to quietly boost his strength further.

Yang Xue and Jianghe, the first to arrive, noticed that despite only a few days passing, the shop had gained new patrons, and both raised an eyebrow.

The Spirit's business seems to be getting better and better!

But upon recalling the food here, they understood.

With food like this, how could business ever be bad?

As the two were lost in thought, Seeing Ying Zheng stepped through the shop door.

Dressed in a magnificent black-and-gold dragon robe, his arrival instantly stunned Yang Xue and Jianghe.

Seeing Ying Zheng, who had also noticed them, brightened immediately.

Without hesitation, he walked straight up to the two.

"Young friends, I offer ten thousand taels of gold for your watermelon juice shares—what do you say?"

His abrupt words rang in their ears, leaving them frozen in shock.

They hadn't been here for just a few days—had prices skyrocketed this much?

Yang Xue even questioned reality itself.

Is gold become cabbage these days?
