632: If you don't look good, you will be beaten

“Brother Shen…”

“Brother Green Light, don’t come over here. Just stand there and talk. I am a good man with a wife and daughter at home. Don’t try anything with me!”

“Brother Shen, what are you saying?” Yan Jingchang was slightly stunned, taking out a black-purple wooden box. “This was bestowed upon me by my Revered Master. It’s a True Dragon Blood Pill, refined from a drop of True Dragon blood preserved in Three Realms Mountain. It’s the finest Medicinal Pill for healing. As long as one has a single breath left, taking it will cause Qi and blood to surge to the heavens, reigniting their vitality. Moreover, it’s one of the very few precious Medicinal Pills that can allow a Body Cultivator to regenerate severed limbs without any restrictions….”

“Brother Green Light, you’re looking down on me! How can I accept such a valuable treasure from you for no reason!” Shen Bei said righteously, his Face filled with pure integrity.

“Brother Shen, you must accept it. If you don’t, my heart will not be at peace!” Yan Jingchang insisted, forcing it into Shen Bei’s hand…

“No, for no reason, if I take your treasure, wouldn’t I become one of those who covet other people’s treasures!” Shen Bei pushed it back.

“Brother Shen, I’ve been under your care these past few days. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. To be honest, in all my travels, Brother Shen is the only person who makes me feel ashamed of myself. If you don’t accept this, I… I truly won’t have any Face left.”

Yan Jingchang’s eyes reddened, a wave of bitterness welling up in his heart.

Since leaving his Revered Master’s sect, he had long lost the innocence of his youth. When encountering enemies, he never held back. Having witnessed the wickedness of human hearts, seeing Shen Bei’s demeanor…

He thought of his past self, who seemed to have been deceived by people like his current self, struggling all the way to become who he was now…

At this thought, his heart was filled with shame, becoming even harder to settle.

“Brother Shen, if you don’t accept it, you’re looking down on me!”

“This… I’m not looking down on you, Brother Green Light. I hold you in the highest regard. The name of Three Realms Mountain, ‘a promise worth a thousand gold,’ is even heard in the South Sea…” Shen Bei’s Face showed emotion, and then, with some reluctance, he took the wooden box. “Then I shall accept it without further ado. I’m ashamed, truly ashamed…”

Putting away the wooden box, Shen Bei moved his palm, casually tossing it into his ring.

True Dragon blood…

The Great Desolate World is truly extravagant.

Although he had some doubts about the Medicinal Pill’s efficacy, what this guy said should be true.

A good item!

If Zhuang Bifan had this back then, he wouldn’t have needed to go to the Crystal Palace, where his cultivation was suppressed and he had to fight enemies.

Three Realms Mountain is indeed wealthy and powerful. The precious Medicinal Pills given to their Disciples are even refined with True Dragon blood…

I should still accept it. Wouldn’t refusing it be looking down on Brother Green Light…

Although Brother Green Light likes to show off a bit and has trouble letting go of his Face, he’s a truly good person…

As for Yan Jingchang, seeing Shen Bei finally accept the gift, his heart finally felt a bit better. At least he had given a substantial compensation.

If Brother Shen ever encounters danger in the future, this Medicinal Pill can save his life, which would also repay Brother Shen’s life-saving kindness…

The two continued forward…

At this moment, the power of the surrounding Malevolent Flames began to gradually weaken, indicating that they had passed through the most dangerous area and were about to leave the Sea of Malevolent Flames.

Three more days passed, and the two finally traversed it.

Ahead, stone mountains were everywhere, with strange, craggy rocks, exceptionally steep. Faint, unusual Auras occasionally seeped out from the stone mountains ahead.

“Finally out…” Shen Bei gazed at the endless expanse of stone mountains, muttering to himself.

Next, they would enter an even more dangerous place.

Before the two could continue, from behind a stone mountain ahead, a stone python, more than ten meters thick, slithered its body, slowly extending its head. Its pair of glazed eyes stared intently at the two.

Shen Bei took a step forward, about to rush up and act…

However, an arm blocked him.

Yan Jingchang’s eyes shone, his complexion was ruddy, and his entire being seemed reborn, exuding a terrifying Aura.

“Brother Shen, please step back. As agreed, any demonic or evil creature we encounter is entirely mine. Brother Shen only needs to stand by and provide support!”

“Wouldn’t that be inappropriate…”

“Brother Shen, we people of Three Realms Mountain keep our promises. Since it was agreed upon earlier, how can I break my word! Brother Shen, do not put me in an unrighteous position!” Yan Jingchang’s gaze was burning, his Face unyielding, staring at Shen Bei as if to say, ‘If you dare to act, you will ruin my reputation!’

“Brother Green Light, you exaggerate. Rest assured, I absolutely will not interfere!” Shen Bei said with a solemn and utterly serious expression.

“Thank you!” Yan Jingchang cupped his hands, then put one hand behind his back, slightly raised his head, and strode out, heading straight for the stone python.

Shen Bei stood still, quietly watching the valiant and arrogant Yan Jingchang, who was about to show off again…

He silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart…

Brother Green Light, the rest of the journey depends entirely on you.

He is indeed a Disciple from a prestigious sect, truly different from those flashy and cheap characters…

Brother Green Light, I misunderstood you before. Your Face is probably far less thick than my unconventional one.

I respect you as a true man.

Go!

He had diligently absorbed the Malevolent Flames all the way, ensuring Yan Jingchang wouldn’t die in the Sea of Malevolent Flames, nor even let his condition drop. He had put in a tremendous effort, truly like taking care of his own son…

Wasn’t he just waiting for this very moment?

Throughout this journey, Shen Bei had already confirmed that the Burial Sea Secret Lord had left a shortcut for his descendants to enter here, but it was impossible for his descendants to have a smooth journey, whether it was a test or a malicious trap.

It wouldn’t be easy for Shen Bei to pass through smoothly and quickly.

He couldn’t risk his life every time he encountered something…

He couldn’t afford it…

Now it was good. He had planted a seed and finally reaped the fruit.

When danger arose, he had to respect the true man Yan Jingchang and absolutely not interfere to cause trouble for him…

Yan Jingchang, with a green light hovering above his head, had one hand behind his back and the other held vaguely in front of his chest. His gaze was burning as he looked at the rock python extending its head from behind the stone mountain, letting out a sharp shout.

“Vile beast! Considering your difficult cultivation, quickly depart! Otherwise, I shall immediately turn your years of cultivation into nothing!”

The enormous rock python had merely been staring at the two, its glazed eyes filled with cold malice, but it had made no other movements…

Hearing Yan Jingchang’s fierce words, the rock python raised its head, opened its mouth, and hissed, a foul stench mixed with cold Death Qi transforming into a gale that roared towards them.

“Still daring to be arrogant!”

Yan Jingchang sneered, gently pushing his hand forward. The cluster of green light hovering above his head transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

In an instant, a massive shadow rapidly descended from mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a verdant green mountain, eight hundred zhang tall. The mountain was covered in vegetation, but every single tree was carved like jade, lifelike, and even swayed with the wind when a breeze passed…

“Boom!”

The verdant green mountain smashed directly onto the head of the rock giant python…

As the dust settled, an eight-hundred-zhang-tall jade mountain appeared out of nowhere on the ground. The rock giant python’s head had long since vanished…

Its massive body, which had emerged from behind the stone mountain, only twitched a few times before falling silent…

The jade mountain transformed back into a green light and flew back, hovering above Yan Jingchang’s head.

Yan Jingchang’s Face was calm as he turned and glanced at Shen Bei.

“Brother Shen, this vile beast has been dealt with. Let’s continue.”

Shen Bei opened his mouth, staring blankly at Yan Jingchang. After a long while, he hesitantly sighed.

“Brother Green Light, is this how you usually deal with demonic creatures?”

“Is something wrong?” Yan Jingchang was completely bewildered…

“This rock python wasn’t trying to attack us. It was just telling us to leave its territory…”

“It is a demonic creature.”

Shen Bei’s gaze held a hint of sympathy. He was now completely certain that this guy was definitely on his first long journey.

A perfectly good, simple, and true man had been led astray.

He glanced at the rock python’s corpse in the distance, unable to help but shed a tear of sympathy for it…

It was sleeping peacefully at home, when someone broke into its doorstep, cursed at it upon meeting, and told it to scram…

All it did was say, “This is my territory…”

It just had a loud voice, plus a language barrier…

Unexpectedly, it was instantly killed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Bei secretly sighed. Thus, this incident profoundly illustrated a principle.

Being good-looking and cute is extremely important.

The rock python was just a bit ugly, looked very ferocious, and had a loud voice. If it said “you’re so bad,” it might come out as a rough, stern, and angry “f*** your mother.”

If it were a small child with big eyes and a chubby Face, looking innocent, scolding Yan Jingchang by pointing at his nose in a childish voice, and if the scolding was understandable, Yan Jingchang probably wouldn’t have immediately gone for the kill…
