Chapter 131: Dealing with the Old Fox!

The big fatty appeared before Lu Tianyu with a smile on his face: "Little friend, I have purchased three shops, and it just so happens that I am heading the same way as you."

"That guy has ill intentions toward you; I can protect you from being harassed by them."

He patted Lu Tianyu on the shoulder, his tone and attitude both extremely friendly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was an elder of Lu Tianyu's, or a very close friend.

Yet, Lu Tianyu felt that something extra had been left on his shoulder—a mark left behind when the big fatty patted him.

He gave a cold snort in his heart, but his face returned the smile: "Many thanks, Senior, for stepping in once again."

"That would be excellent; let us head there together. May I ask for your honorable name, Senior?"

The big fatty was immediately overjoyed: "You can just call me Dead Fatty from now on, or you can call me Uncle Fatty."

He chuckled.

"Then I shall call you Uncle Fatty from now on."

Lu Tianyu turned to look at the bearded man who had followed them, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "This bearded man is very annoying and has ill intentions toward me. I ask that you please step in and drive him away. I'm counting on you."

He could easily absorb and devour the mark the big fatty had placed on him using the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron.

However, he did not do so immediately, fearing it would alert the big fatty and cause him to attack immediately.

Since the big fatty was willing to travel with him, he might as well use him to escort him to Jiu Hao Dian Pu.

And play a joke on him while he was at it.

Sure enough, the smile on the big fatty's face immediately froze: "Ah? You want me to deal with him?"

He then shook his head vigorously: "My strength is about the same as his; I cannot fight him."

"If we end up both suffering, I won't be able to protect you. I cannot do that; protecting you is what's important."

Lu Tianyu intentionally said, "Oh?" "Protecting me is important?"

"Uncle Fatty and I have only just met; is there really a need for this?"

In his heart, however, he sneered: *Dead fatty, you are far too good at putting on an act. *

Uncle Fatty chuckled: "I felt like I'd known you for years the moment we met; if I don't protect you, who would I protect?"

"Young Master Lu, you are likely the only one in this Tianhe Galaxy who has cultivated the Five Elements Gang Qi to perfection; your future is bound to be boundless."

"If I don't butter you up now, it will be too late to do so in the future."

The big fatty stated the reason Lu Tianyu had attracted everyone's attention, all while maintaining a naive appearance.

Yet Lu Tianyu knew that such a person was more terrifying than anyone else, belonging to the insidious type of smiling tiger.

However, he also now knew why he had been noticed by so many people: it was because many people had learned of the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation triggered by his opening of the Middle Dantian.

His identity had been exposed, and there would certainly be many troubles ahead.

But now was not the time to consider that.

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "Senior, you are exaggerating; it was just luck that I obtained the Body Refining Technique."

As he spoke, he stepped out of the auction house.

No sooner had he stepped out than two women from the Liuli Sect bowed and cupped their hands to him: "Young Master Lu, please follow us; we will take you to Jiu Hao Dian Pu!"

"Our Sect Master said that the brothel behind the shop is also to be gifted to you, Young Master!"

Lu Tianyu said, "Oh," and replied, "Then I will trouble you to lead the way."

How could he possibly accept the brothel in the back?

As long as he was safely escorted to Jiu Hao Dian Pu by the Liuli Sect members and the dead fatty, he would look for an opportunity to slip away.

Being followed by four or five cultivators at the Great Vehicle Stage made him feel uneasy.

As soon as Lu Tianyu walked out of the auction house and onto the street, he felt a sharp killing intent from the side lock onto him.

He turned his head abruptly and saw a familiar face, unable to help but be slightly stunned: "It's you!"

"So you've stopped disguising yourself and are showing your true face?"

The man in the green robe to the side was none other than Luo Chen of the Xuanqing Sect.

Furthermore, Lu Tianyu immediately recognized that the green-robed middle-aged man from before had been Luo Chen in disguise.

No wonder he felt the person's aura was somewhat familiar; it had been Luo Chen in disguise.

It was just unclear when Luo Chen had cultivated a Demon Art, and how he had become so powerful.

Only a few days ago, Luo Chen had been thrashed by him.

Luo Chen said coldly: "Is there any need to pretend with you? I can kill you in a split second."

"If you are lucky enough not to die today, I will surely take your life another day. Take care of yourself."

After speaking, he turned and left.

At the auction, the Nether Saint Fruit had been snatched away by Lu Tianyu, and he had been forced away by Lu Tianyu's scheme.

Luo Chen had immediately returned to his original appearance to avoid the Liuli Sect's tracking.

He had been lying in wait here just to wait for Lu Tianyu to come out so he could follow him, kill him, and take back the Nether Saint Fruit.

It was just a pity that Lu Tianyu had several Great Vehicle Stage cultivators behind him; he had absolutely no chance to strike.

He could only settle for second best and hide first to look for an opportunity to strike.

How could Lu Tianyu not know that Luo Chen hadn't left?

His powerful Divine Sense had locked onto Luo Chen, and he knew he was secretly following behind.

But it didn't matter.

He followed the two women from the Liuli Sect, striding toward the direction of the Back Street.

The big fatty chuckled: "Young Master Lu, it seems you have offended quite a few people; your situation is dangerous."

"Even if you hide in the shop, it won't work. I wonder what your plans are, Young Master? I, Uncle Fatty, am willing to help you."

He patted his own big belly, promising with absolute certainty.

He observed that Lu Tianyu showed no fear on his face when facing the tracking of several Great Vehicle Stage experts, so he wanted to probe what other reliance Lu Tianyu had.

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it!"

"Once I enter the shop, I will close the doors and not come out; if they force their way in, I can only go to Fatty's shop to hide."

How could he not know that the dead fatty was fishing for information, so he took the opportunity to suggest hiding in the dead fatty's shop.

"Good!"

Fatty was overjoyed: "As soon as I reach the shop, I will open up a passage between us so that Young Master Lu can come over at any time."

"If Young Master wishes to escape, I will cover your departure!"

He wore an expression of righteous indignation.

Lu Tianyu nodded slightly: "Then I will trouble you, Senior."

"It is settled then; Senior will take action in a quarter of an hour."

The big fatty was slightly stunned: "A quarter of an hour is likely too late; I must take action as soon as I enter the shop."

"Those people will likely take action the moment you enter the shop, little brother, you must not be careless."

He said with a solemn expression.

Lu Tianyu thought to himself, you old fox, this is to deny me any chance to prepare.

But this is fine too, let you dogs bite dogs for a while first.

He nodded immediately: "Good, it is settled!"

Soon, Lu Tianyu was brought to the front of Jiu Hao Dian Pu by two women from the Liuli Sect.

The two women opened the door and bowed: "Young Master, please enter!"

Lu Tianyu did not go in, looking up at the tall four-story shop: "This shop is quite imposing, I like it."

"You may leave first, I can go in by myself."

Saying this, he lifted his foot and walked into the shop, then closed the door.

The next second, his body disappeared.

A small tripod appeared in the air, then with a *poof*, it sank into the ground and vanished.

*Swish! *

Fatty had already appeared at Shi Hao Dian Pu, and with a light strike of his palm, he blasted out a large hole: "Young Master Lu..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his expression changed drastically: "Where is he?"

"Not good, the mark I left has also disappeared!"
