"Master, please wait a mont. Let Lord Que... no, let plunder all the treasures from Wan Xuegui and offer them to you."
Although Que Xinyan had been scorned by Ye Tianling, he was ultimately very ’filial’ and was still thinking of offering him treasures.
"Uh—that won’t be necessary."
Ye Tianling said with an awkward smile.
"Master, even though Wan Xuegui is trapped in a latrine pit, his Qiankun Ring can’t be contaminated."
The muscles on Que Xinyan’s face twitched again as he said, torn between laughter and tears.
"His treasures have already been... um, taken by your Master. I took them all. You don’t need to lift a finger."
Ye Tianling snickered.
Que Xinyan looked astonished, then it dawned on him. His face imdiately filled with admiration. "Master is truly Master. So incredible. I guess this turtle can only be tortured by you."
Ye Tianling chided with a laugh, "Stop sucking up. By the way, did you use the Qin Dunjia Skill to escape this Forbidden Array?"
Que Xinyan nodded repeatedly, a fanatical look returning to his eyes. "Yes, Master! The Qin Dunjia Skill, combined with my Gold-devouring Rat’s Talent, it’s like they were tailor-made for each other. It’s incredibly useful.
"Now, I’m not afraid of ordinary seals at all."
At the ntion of thods like ’Qin Dunjia’, Que Xinyan once again turned into a total fanboy, his voice growing a few pitches higher.
Ye Tianling nodded. "Alright, it’s good that you broke the seal. I originally planned to co see you, capture Wan Xuegui, and let you out."
Ye Tianling wasn’t actually surprised; he had considered the possibility that Que Xinyan could escape on his own.
Just as Que Xinyan was about to reply, Wan Xuegui’s faint voice drifted out from the giant latrine pit deep within the Forbidden Array.
"You damn rat—let , Lord Gui, out! You bastard master-and-disciple duo, treating like this! Don’t you feel any guilt? I, Lord Gui... I’ve already lost everything! I’m ’Xuegui’ in na and in reality now! What more do you want from ?"
"What more do we want?"
"Your sudden seal is enough to make weep!"
"I, Lord Que, haven’t forgotten, you don’t need to remind ."
...
The rap-like exchange between the two made the muscles on Ye Tianling’s face twitch, and his expression turned grim.
Just then, Wan Xuegui piped up again, "What else can I do?"
Que Xinyan sneered, "What can you do?"
Wan Xuegui said, "In the end, I’m just left with nothing and no one."
Que Xinyan retorted, "You never stop to think why things ended up this way."
Ye Tianling said, "You two are certainly in high spirits. Keep singing. I’m going to step away for a bit, it stinks here."
Upon hearing this, Wan Xuegui imdiately fell silent.
Suddenly, another cry ca, "Grandpa, let your grandson go! Don’t leave! I, Wan Xuegui, admit defeat, alright?"
Ye Tianling, who was walking away, stumbled. ’This Wan Xuegui... he’s actually caving?’
’He even called Grandpa?’
’As expected, slaughter isn’t scary. What’s scary is being trapped in a latrine pit.’
Que Xinyan was also dumbfounded. He knew Wan Xuegui was shaless, but to be shaless enough to call his Master "Grandpa"... The expression on his fat, dark face beca truly priceless.
"Rat, help plead my case! No matter how you slice it, we’re good bros! We stole treasures together, we peeked at fairies bathing together... we have such a great relationship!"
Wan Xuegui pleaded.
He was clearly so tornted by the foul stench of the latrine pit that he had thrown all caution to the wind.
"Heh, so you admit you’re wrong now? Do you even know what you did wrong?"
Que Xinyan started to put on airs.
"Lord Que, I’m serious this ti! The ’chanical Ancient Tomb’ in the Wanlun Ancient Land, the ’Kunwu Cave’ of the Cang Mountain Sword Pavilion—I’m very confident about them! And the Land of the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array—"
Before Wan Xuegui could finish, Que Xinyan leaped to his feet. "You son of a turtle, you still dare to bring up the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array? Now you know how it feels to be sealed in a latrine pit, huh? It took , Lord Que, a full ten hours to escape last ti! You want out? We can talk about it in twenty hours!"
"The Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array is the way into the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb! This is a really rare opportunity! Bro, I’m not kidding, let out! Although I ca here to ss with you, I also ca to save you so we could go to the real Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array, to the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb Land! Goddammit, are you going to let out or not?!"
Wan Xuegui was furious.
More than that, he was desperate.
You have to understand, he had been force-fed a mouthful of... contents... from the latrine pit earlier. Although he had cleaned himself up, every ti he spoke, it was equivalent to breathing in the ’essence’ of the pit.
For soone who was a bit of a neat freak, how could he possibly bear it!
"Go fuck yourself! I’m not letting you out, and that’s final! Go on and sleep in that latrine pit for a few more days for Lord Que!"
Que Xinyan showed no rcy.
"Let him go."
Hearing this, an idea struck Ye Tianling, and he spoke at once.
"Uh, Master, this bastard is extrely cunning. I’m afraid he’s setting another trap to screw us over."
Que Xinyan said hesitantly.
"PFFT—"
Hearing that, Wan Xuegui directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
", screw you two over? Your Master already swindled out of every last treasure I owned, okay? Traps? Don’t worry, from now on, I, Wan Xuegui, will never screw you over. I’ll screw over anyone else, but never you two—I’d like to live a few more years!"
Wan Xuegui said indignantly.
He’d had all his treasures stolen, been practically stripped naked, and was now trapped in a latrine pit.
He was like a fish on a chopping block, completely at their rcy.
At this point, Wan Xuegui had figured it out. Fighting against Ye Tianling... really, from start to finish, he had never once gained an advantage.
Thinking about Ye Tianling’s terrifying Talent and his colossal background, he realized he couldn’t kill him and couldn’t beat him. What else could he do but admit defeat?
’What else could he do?’
As Wan Xuegui thought about it, he couldn’t help but feel like singing a tragic ballad.
He felt that eting Ye Tianling had turned his life into a tragedy.
"Let him go. It’s fine, he can’t screw over. He should count himself lucky I’m not screwing him over... He’ll probably be traumatized for a few years."
Ye Tianling said with a confident smile.
"Okay, fine."
Que Xinyan no longer hesitated and began to undo the seal on the Forbidden Array.
anwhile, Wan Xuegui finally breathed a sigh of relief, a sense of resignation washing over him.
’A few years of trauma? This is trauma for a lifeti—for lifetis to co!’
he thought.
At that mont, the Forbidden Array loosened. Wan Xuegui finally broke free from the foul-slling seal and flew out of the giant latrine pit.
"PHEW—"
After exhaling a lungful of stench, Wan Xuegui imdiately threw up.
At the sa ti, his whole body felt much lighter, and an inexpressible sense of gratitude unexpectedly blood in his heart.
’I’m so pathetic! I’m actually grateful to Ye Tianling? I’m fucking hopeless!’
Wan Xuegui started cursing himself in his mind.
anwhile, Ye Tianling had just used his Soul Talent, preparing to determine if Wan Xuegui was harboring ill intentions. When he accidentally detected these thoughts, he was left completely bewildered.
’This Wan Xuegui... does he have masochistic tendencies? Does the whole "stick and carrot" approach work that well on him?’
Ye Tianling pondered this, and he actually began to feel at ease about Wan Xuegui.
In fact, Ye Tianling’s current Battle Power already surpassed Wan Xuegui’s. Even if Wan Xuegui really tried sothing, Ye Tianling wasn’t afraid in the slightest. Suppressing him with a single hand would be no problem at all.
