101: Luo Sanpao is gone!

Azure Dragon Temple.

The stream of Believers grew even more endless.

Under City Lord Xiao's promotion, the Azure Dragon Temple's popularity even far surpassed that of the Spirit Hall.

Had Yu Mengzhang not forbidden it, City Lord Xiao would have likely handed over Nuoding City's tax revenue to the Azure Dragon Temple to replace the Spirit Hall in distributing Spirit Master subsidies.

Even so, City Lord Xiao performed many good deeds in the name of the Azure Dragon Temple, such as building bridges and paving roads.

At this moment, inside the temple, a peculiar creature that was neither pig nor dog was bowing before the statue.

It was none other than Luo San Pao!

A faint glimmer emanated from Luo San Pao's body as its Soul Power slowly increased.

Yu Mengzhang watched it, slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected Luo San Pao to actually reach this stage.

After today, Luo San Pao would likely no longer be a Spirit, but a true Spirit Beast.

Now, Luo San Pao was seizing more Soul Power from Yu Xiaogang.

And then, it would sever their connection completely!

Outside the temple, many Believers were also watching Luo San Pao's situation.

The Single-Horned Thunder Dragon also circled around from the side; its frequent appearances on Azure Dragon Mountain had already made the Believers lose their fear of it.

"Keep going! Luo San Pao!"

Xiao Wu leaned against the doorway, sticking her head out to cheer for Luo San Pao.

Just then, a series of shouts suddenly rang out from outside.

"Everyone, move aside..."

"Master Yu is here!"

The crowd parted to make a path.

Yu Xiaogang walked toward the temple with Tang San.

Compared to some time ago, Yu Xiaogang's clothes had changed to silk and brocade; he looked quite glamorous, truly resembling an aristocrat.

He held his chin slightly tilted up, his face still as calm as a still well, yet it gave off a sense of arrogance.

Tang San followed behind him, and seeing Xiao Wu there, he immediately perked up.

The Believers looked at the master and disciple, exchanging glances.

None of them understood what they were doing here.

Yu Xiaogang came straight to the door, saw Luo San Pao, and curled his lip, but he didn't act immediately, instead saying:

"Mengzhang, why does it always run here?"

Yu Xiaogang acted quite familiar.

This air of his was very much in the style of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... respecting one's elders!

Yu Mengzhang looked at him calmly, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Its sincerity and persistence have moved the Divine Lord."

"It's just a beast; can you really treat it like a person?"

Yu Xiaogang's tone was contemptuous; he looked down on Luo San Pao.

He then added, "I came this time to bring you some gifts. After all, we are Bloodline relatives; it's not good to always be so distant."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, and two large chests appeared.

"There are some riches inside. You can spend them on yourself or use them to repair the temple... it's all up to you."

Yu Xiaogang patted the large chests, which let out the crisp clinking sound of coins.

Yes, they were filled with bronze coins.

Altogether, they were worth nearly a hundred gold coins.

Now that he had become wealthy, if he didn't show off here, wouldn't his wealth be for nothing?

He treated it as a rehearsal for his future return to the Family and his appearance before Bibi Dong!

Yu Xiaogang's expression remained indifferent, but a flicker of anticipation couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

Surely a child has never seen such extravagance before?

Yu Mengzhang frowned slightly, almost losing his composure.

This guy... was quite interesting.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's behavior, the Believers all wore strange expressions.

Some time ago, so many nobles had rushed over to give gifts, yet the High Priest didn't care for them; even the Spirit Hall had come once.

You, a nobody who's just a lucky fellow favored by City Lord Xiao, actually dare to pull this stunt?

The gazes of the Believers gradually turned dissatisfied.

Tang San quickly realized something was wrong and tugged at Yu Xiaogang's clothes, whispering a reminder, "Teacher, forget it..."

"Forget what?"

Yu Xiaogang hadn't reacted yet; although his IQ was high, his EQ was in the negatives, so he didn't realize the problem.

Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly, just about to speak.

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Since we are Bloodline relatives, I cannot neglect you. You have no famous teachers to guide you here, so your Soul Power will likely go to waste. I can spare some time..."

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish, a figure suddenly emerged from the crowd, approaching with large strides.

With a shove, he pushed Yu Xiaogang aside, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

It was a Guard wearing a large hat, who gave Yu Xiaogang a cold look.

!!!" Yu Xiaogang panicked instantly.

This Guard was none other than Tang Hao!

Tang Hao picked up the two wooden chests and turned to leave the crowd.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's dazed state, everyone let out low chuckles.

Some were also whispering dissatisfied protests.

"What a clueless fellow, actually bringing such vulgar things to the temple. Does he think he's something special?"

"Even City Lord Xiao wouldn't dare to do this!"

"He really thinks he's a big shot, doesn't he? Look, those chests are actually full of bronze coins! This guy is such a poser!"

...

Someone shouted from a distance.

Exposing Yu Xiaogang's true colors.

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly flushed red; he felt as if his underwear had been stripped off.

He came to show off, so why was he being humiliated now?

Tang San stepped forward to help Yu Xiaogang up, his mind elsewhere as he occasionally looked back.

Yu Xiaogang scanned the surroundings and only then noticed that the looks people gave him weren't of envy, but of disgust and rejection!

Not only did they not worship him for his "wealth,"

but they were actually glaring at him like this?

Yu Xiaogang's chest felt tight, so frustrated he felt like he might cough up blood!

"I, I..."

Yu Xiaogang gnashed his teeth, desperately wanting to flee.

Xiao Wu made a face at Yu Xiaogang; if they weren't at the temple entrance, she would have laughed at him long ago!

One could only say Yu Xiaogang chose his spot well.

Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly at this farce, then turned his gaze back to Luo San Pao, whose Soul Power had now reached Five Hundred Years.

The connection between it and Yu Xiaogang was now only a negligible thread.

"Right, right, I... I'm here to pick up Luo San Pao! It's my Spirit! It has to come with me!"

Yu Xiaogang said awkwardly, his face stiff.

He didn't want to stay here for another second!

Here, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was made a fool of by the Spirit Hall, with strange looks almost everywhere!

He pointed at Luo San Pao and stepped forward.

After just a few steps, the golden light on Luo San Pao completely vanished, its body became more solid, and the aura it emitted was no longer that of a Spirit.

It suddenly snapped its eyes open and turned to face Yu Xiaogang.

It opened its mouth, revealing many fangs, while scale patterns appeared on its thick legs.

After breaking away from being a Spirit and becoming a true Spirit Beast, its life level had also evolved!

"Luo luo...!"

Luo San Pao lowered its body and walked toward Yu Xiaogang.

The dangerous aura of a Hundred-Year Spirit Beast pressured Yu Xiaogang.

!!!"

Yu Xiaogang panicked; now, he finally sensed that something was wrong.

He couldn't help but retreat, subconsciously dodging Luo San Pao.
