Chapter 410

~7 min read 1,331 words

Because of the instant movement function, going up the mountain isn't troublesome, but finding the maifushi stone is truly not easy—do I really have to dig into the mountain to find it?

Chen Nuo fell into a dilemma.

"This young man's stamina is really good—just now I saw you at the foot of the mountain, and in this short while you've already reached halfway up the mountain."

Chen Nuo was about to speak to the system when a voice from behind made him pause; he turned around and saw a man dressed entirely in yellow, his whole body golden, even his hair golden, standing in the lush vegetation halfway up the mountain—he was not only conspicuous but dazzlingly so.

"Who are you?"

Chen Nuo had just opened his mouth when the system answered for him: "This is Jin Zha, the eldest son of Li Tianwang, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and also Nezha's older brother."

Jin Zha, true to his name, was radiant all over, as if afraid no one would know who he was.

"Hello, I came here to find a friend."

Jin Zha said.

"Just now I saw you at the foot of the mountain, talking to yourself, not knowing who you were speaking to, but in the blink of an eye you were already halfway up the mountain—young man, you're really fast."

Really fast... Chen Nuo felt annoyed, even though the words were praising him.

"Don't worry, your abilities and cultivation are sealed by the system—even the Tathagata would only see you as an ordinary person."

The system said.

Jin Zha looked at the man before him, wearing long robes and trousers, whose attire differed from that of the outsiders he had seen.

Though strange, it was not unattractive at all—on the contrary, it was quite handsome, especially since this man had a fine physique; it wasn't the clothes that looked good, but the man wearing them, making the clothes look good.

Because he was searching for maifushi stone, Chen Nuo used swift movement, not instant movement, so Jin Zha could see Chen Nuo's figure from the foot of the mountain to halfway up.

He couldn't tell anything unusual about this man—his cultivation was invisible—and he wondered how an ordinary person could walk so fast; could it be innate talent?

"Your clothes look special—did you make them yourself?"

Chen Nuo looked down at his hoodie and pants, thinking when he left home that since he was going out, he wouldn't wear ancient clothing.

Who doesn't find hoodie and pants comfortable? Who would expect to meet a immortal on this deserted mountain?

"Ah, yes, I made them myself."

Chen Nuo replied.

"Your clothing style is really nice—can you make one for me too? I'll pay you in gold."

Jin Zha said, his hand still touching the fabric of the clothes, clearly really liking this outfit.

True to his name, Jin Zha—while others speak of silver taels, he opens his mouth asking for gold.

"Sorry, I have something to do—I'll leave first."

Although Jin Zha and Nezha are brothers, Nezha had never introduced his elder brother to Chen Nuo before.

It's normal that Jin Zha doesn't know him, and Chen Nuo was also relieved that Jin Zha didn't recognize him—mutual unfamiliarity still allowed such enthusiasm; if they knew each other, they'd have to sit down for a long talk.

"Don't go."

Jin Zha grabbed Chen Nuo: "I'm giving you gold—do you still want to leave? Aren't you short of money?"

"I'm not short of money—thank you, but please let me go."

Chen Nuo pushed Jin Zha's hand off his clothes: "I really still have things to do."

"How can this mortal look like this?"

Jin Zha expressed dissatisfaction.

I'm a fake mortal, you're truly annoying—Chen Nuo complained inwardly, he really wanted to leave.

"Let me tell you a secret."

Jin Zha said with a mysterious expression: "Actually, I'm an immortal."

"Oh, so what?"

I already knew that.

"Why aren't you the least bit surprised?"

Jin Zha exclaimed in surprise instead.

Never mind that he knows this Jin Zha is an immortal—even if he didn't, meeting a strange person on the mountain who claims to be an immortal, he wouldn't treat him as a god and kick him; that would already be not bad.

"Really? You're an immortal? I'm so surprised."

Chen Nuo said in a dry, flat tone: "Is this the reaction you wanted? Can you let me go now?"

"No, you're being too perfunctory."

Jin Zha grabbed Chen Nuo's clothes: "I'm not intentionally trying to annoy you—I really like your clothes. Even if you won't make me one, just give me the clothes you're wearing—I'll pay you in gold, lots and lots of gold, okay?"

How come both brothers are obsessed with clothes—one is a cross-dressing expert, the other a pervert,

and they even like the original flavor.

"What am I supposed to do if you take my clothes?"

"I'll trade you the clothes I'm wearing."

Jin Zha said, taking off his outer garment.

"Feel the material of this clothes—this is something only heavenly immortals can wear, and this outer garment is large; take it back and alter it, and you can turn it into the clothes you're wearing now."

The fabric of this clothes is also good to him, and it's specially made for cooking and wearing.

As the manager of Chaos Residence, such clothes are usually kept at the bottom of the box and unwilling to wear, yet Jin Zha acts as if giving alms to him, making Chen Nuo genuinely angry.

"Why are you so annoying?"

Chen Nuo said impatiently.

"Are you really that annoying?"

Jin Zha showed a hurt expression.

This expression might work a little on women, but he's a man—it won't evoke even a trace of pity for Jin Zha, and instead makes him feel somewhat nauseous.

"Farewell.

-"

Chen Nuo pushed Jin Zha aside and prepared to leave.

After being pushed aside, Jin Zha returned to his previous appearance; he must be used to such treatment, and he was not angry, but instead followed Chen Nuo with a happy face after he walked away.

"Little brother, you coming alone to the Mountain interior must mean you have something to do—why are you preparing to leave without doing anything?"

Naturally, there is such an Annoying pest's existence; Chen Nuo complained internally, but still gave him some face on the surface.

Ignoring him, Chen Nuo walked straight ahead; although he really wanted to use Swift walk or Instant Movement, doing so might arouse Jin Zha's greater curiosity, so he chose to walk away on foot.

"I saw you come here walking so fast—there must be something very urgent. Tell me, tell me, I can also help you a bit."

"No need, thank you."

Chen Nuo answered while walking, inwardly pounding the system hard.

"What's going on? Don't you have any method to make this person shut up? Even if I had to spend Ten thousand merit, I would."

"Sorry, there's really no method. If he were a mortal I might still be able to help you, but he is an Immortal, and I cannot do this."

Chen Nuo let out a heavy sigh; thus, he could only rely on his own feet to get rid of this person.

"Hey, little brother, don't think I'm annoying—I truly can help you. Look."

Jin Zha said, using Instant Movement to jump in front of Chen Nuo: "I'm not deceiving you—I am truly an Immortal."

"You"

Chen Nuo was so angry he wanted to curse, but he did not want to lose his temper with someone he had only met once, so he could only desperately suppress his anger.

"Hey, just say it."

Jin Zha said, "I have friends here—no matter what you want from this Mountain, my friends can do it."

"Are your friends that powerful? Could it be the Jade Emperor?"

Chen Nuo, extreme anger turning to laughter.

"Nearly the same."

Jin Zha answered with a smile.
