515: I am Pixiu

Wu Tian's expression stiffened; he hadn't expected that a casually made-up excuse would be so useless.

Besides, that girl actually had a husband?

Looking at her appearance, she was clearly quite young and had a face full of innocence, looking like she hadn't even reached adulthood.

He really hadn't expected that the other party already had a husband.

Under the middle-aged man's enthusiasm, Wu Tian, with a helpless look on his face, ultimately decided to stay.

Although this middle-aged man was somewhat unreliable.

But at least, he was still alive.

It also had to be said that this location was quite hidden; staying here was relatively safe.

"Ahem, um… there is no room for you here, so if you stay, you will have to live in this vegetable garden."

The middle-aged man coughed dryly and said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian rolled his eyes. Being forced to stay was one thing.

But to not even have his own room?

He looked at the vegetable garden; it wasn't dirty. Wu Tian nodded and said: "I will just live here."

He had already been in this vegetable garden for many days; continuing to stay here wasn't impossible.

In his previous life, he had reached the realm of the Immortal Emperor. Having walked that path, what hardships hadn't he endured?

Wasn't it just living in a vegetable garden?

Furthermore, his current injuries just happened to require absorbing moonlight to recover.

In this vegetable garden, there was no obstruction.

It was even more suitable for his injury recovery.

Hearing Wu Tian agree, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands and continued: "Um… you said before that you are a member of the Wu Family, and that you would offer a reward once your injuries recovered. Does that still count?"

A reward?

Wu Tian looked at the middle-aged man. This guy really had thick skin.

He had buried him three times, and he was still thinking about a reward.

That he wasn't holding him accountable was already being very magnanimous; as for a reward…

"Once my injuries recover, I will give you some reward."

His injuries hadn't recovered yet, so he still had to lay low to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

After his injuries recovered, this guy… hmm, he could reward him by letting him be his servant; that would count as his reward.

He was an Immortal Emperor!

In his previous life, he didn't just accept servants randomly. Being chosen by him to be his servant was already a great Opportunity.

This guy was very lucky.

He had helped him during his time of distress. Now, the requirements for a servant could be appropriately lowered.

Although Wu Tian was cautious, deep down, he still possessed pride.

Just as he was pondering, the middle-aged man asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"Can you give a little in advance?"

"Hm?"

Wu Tian frowned.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly said: "Anything will do, as long as it is a treasure, anything is fine."

"Anything? What do you need it for?"

"To eat!"

Now, with Qin Jiang behind him, the middle-aged man didn't care about exposing his identity as a Pixiu.

Furthermore, his mission was to stay by Wu Tian's side and constantly torment him.

If he didn't reveal some value, he estimated that in a few days, Wu Tian would leave, and at that point, it would be impossible to make him continue following him.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the middle-aged man decided to reveal his identity in front of Wu Tian.

"Eat?"

Wu Tian was slightly stunned.

The middle-aged man nodded, and at the same time, patted his stomach and said: "I am a Pixiu; what is the problem with eating treasures?"

"You are a Pixiu?"

Wu Tian's eyes lit up.

He looked at the middle-aged man in surprise, unable to help but size him up, a surge of pleasant surprise welling up in his heart.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there was actually still a Pixiu, and he had happened to encounter it.

This was a good thing! An Auspicious Beast!

If utilized well, perhaps it could help him restore the Peak of his previous life.

"You are really a Pixiu?"

If he hadn't been injured, he could have circulated the power of his previous life and surely would have been able to see through the other party's true form.

However, he had first been heavily injured, and later used the power of his previous life, causing a backlash. Now, unless it was a critical moment, he shouldn't use the power of his previous life.

Under Wu Tian's suspicious gaze, a look of pride appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Their Pixiu clan was a very noble race.

If it weren't for his wife passing away and his daughter being young, he wouldn't be holed up in this godforsaken place.

"That's right! I am a Pixiu!"

The middle-aged man said.

As he spoke, a phantom of a Pixiu appeared above his head, staring fixedly at Wu Tian.

Just like the middle-aged man, it was also full of arrogance.

"Now, you believe me, right?"

The middle-aged man said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian nodded. The way he looked at the middle-aged man was no longer repulsive or annoyed.

This Auspicious Beast was a great treasure.

Although this great treasure was slightly abstract and somewhat unreliable.

But it was an Auspicious Beast after all.

He had to think of a way to make him follow him; he absolutely could not let this pass by!

Wu Tian's gaze softened: "I didn't expect you to be a Pixiu, an Auspicious Beast of heaven and earth, but… as a Pixiu, how did you end up in this state?"

A dignified Pixiu really shouldn't have ended up in such a remote corner.

There must be a story.

And as long as there was a story, he could manipulate things to make him follow him.

Wu Tian paid attention to the middle-aged man's expression. Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's eyes dimmed slightly.

However, he didn't say much, just glared at Wu Tian and said: "I just like staying here, is that not allowed?"

"Hehe, then you are quite unique."

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

With a Pixiu's pride, he certainly wouldn't easily reveal his scars.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Anyway, his current injuries would take at least a few months to recover.

He had plenty of time.

During this time, he would just get closer to this Pixiu.

As for the story behind it, he would find out slowly.

He would know eventually.

At this moment, the middle-aged man, as if annoyed by embarrassment, said: "Do you have any treasures or not? Looking at you, you wouldn't happen to not be a member of the Wu Family at all, right?"

"Treasures, huh."

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

Although he was indeed very poor, most of his Cultivation resources had been taken by the Wu Family, and he had also taken out a portion to bribe the guards of the Hua Xia Branch.

But as a Son of Destiny, he still had treasures on his person.

And every single one was extraordinary.

If he let the middle-aged man eat them, Wu Tian would really feel some heartache, but…

For the sake of long-term plans, Wu Tian, with a pained heart, took out a treasure.

It looked plain and unadorned, and it was also somewhat damaged.

But Wu Tian knew that this was an Immortal King Treasure Artifact, just that it was severely damaged.

It was something he had picked up before his Awakening.

After Awakening, he discovered the extraordinary nature of this Treasure Artifact. He had intended to repair it when he had the chance in the future and use it as his own Treasure Artifact for the time being.

But now, for the sake of this Pixiu, he had to bear the pain and part with it.

By comparison, it was definitely worth it!

He handed the Treasure Artifact to the middle-aged man. Although he felt pained, his expression remained calm and indifferent as he said: "Is this treasure enough to serve as a reward?"
