Yang Yunzhao and Chan Zi were given two Heavenly Ruins and Earth Deficiencies. After feeding them, they settled down in the warehouse within the military camp.
Chen Xuantian calculated with his fingers and got a small fortune, then wrapped it in canvas, hoisting up the snake head stripped clean, with not a shred of at left, only a skeleton, and walked out of the camp.
It was still before 5:00 AM, and the sky hadn’t brightened yet; it was gloomy and chilly, with strong winds blowing over the lake, the snoring in the camp rising and falling, the hooligans who drank, whored, gambled, and partied the whole night were as unconscious as dead pigs, oblivious even to the great demon extermination.
Chen Xuantian left the camp, picked a small boat, and sailed to the opposite shore, pausing at the heart of the lake, from afar seeing the towered dock shrouded in morning mist, the Vermilion Bird Flags waving in the wind, flickering, as if a group of crimson Fire Phoenixes fluttering through the clouds.
Chen Xuantian sat cross-legged at the stern, forming a seal with his fingers,
"Monk, co out for a while."
As soon as the words were spoken, the waves stirred lightly, as if a gust of lake wind passed, and a shadow as massive as a brown bear appeared at the bow.
Being summoned so early in the morning, before it was even light, the giant monk was quite annoyed, wearing a "Why is it you again" expression, patiently saying,
"What brings the benefactor here again?"
Chen Xuantian removed the canvas covering the skull,
"A gift for you."
Suddenly the world fell silent, the wind vanished without a trace. The giant monk stared with eyes the size of mung beans at the small plump figure before him, seeming like a stunned turtle.
"A gift for... ?"
Chen Xuantian nodded,
"It’s for anyone who sees it, please."
The giant monk stared at the skull, montarily speechless.
Chen Xuantian shrugged,
"I swear I haven’t poisoned it. Check carefully if you don’t believe ."
The giant monk stared at Chen Xuantian, his gaze unfocused for a mont,
"...Why?"
Chen Xuantian spoke lightly,
"I already explained, it’s for anyone who sees it. You were nearby yesterday, so I’m guessing you saw the whole thing.
Not to ntion we have minor grievances, you clearly had your eyes on those Heavenly Materials Treasures for a long ti.
If I were you, I would’ve struck long ago. The fact that you restrained yourself deserves requital.
Please."
The giant monk’s eyes widened as if he had been jolted, blurting out,
"A favor my foot! You knew I was watching right nearby yet you still snatched what I had my sights on! First you destroyed my barrier, then struck when I was busy repairing the array! You did it on purpose!
Moreover, you think I’m blind? You ca right in with those two, hid their bodies at the Sealing Demon Platform the whole ti planned within that prepared Primordial Spirit Realm! You never went all out! You were guarding against from start to finish!
I see this was all calculated! Ready to sweep away with this catastrophe!"
Chen Xuantian grinned,
"Tsk... What words are these, your esteed self, you misunderstand this humble monk too deeply. I’m rely a weak Foundation Establishnt cultivator, how could I be a match for your esteed self? If I had malicious intent, why would I offer you this Divinity Transformation Treasure willingly? Right?
Oh, I get it, perhaps it’s because nobody has ever been so kind to you, making you feel embarrassed? No problem, don’t be shy, my gratitude is sincere. Either way, you indeed did not intervene yesterday, am I right?
Moreover, if it wasn’t for your esteed self’s protection, driving away those ignorant fools, this grand opportunity wouldn’t have landed in our laps so easily.
This battle indeed credits you; take it."
Giant monk,
"...Did you just ’tsk’ ."
Chen Xuantian waved his hand,
"In any case, past trivial matters don’t matter anymore! Paths are chosen by oneself!
Since the monk isn’t my enemy, you’re not a burden on my path, so there’s no need for unnecessary conflict! Seeing that we can totally exchange favors freely, let’s collaborate!
Thus, this small token is left here, take it. Past grudges will be as fleeting as clouds; even with a major incident, all causes and effects will be settled.
Let’s be friends, do you agree?"
The giant monk looked conflicted; perhaps in all his life he’d never been forced to accept a gift, yet he knew this little fat guy was speaking the truth. Though he suddenly appears to ss up your magic, ruin your plans, snatch your opportunity, kick your table, and wreck your calculations, now a Divinity Transformation Treasure is smacked right in your face. Even big matters can be concluded.
Besides, when in Ro, this monk has crawled and rolled through the Divinity Transformation Realm, naturally understanding the temperant of these Mystic Sect folks. If these dogs speak kindly to you but you refuse, won’t make friends, won’t settle causes, don’t be surprised if mountain folk turn hostile in a blink.
"...Alright, thank you, benefactor."
The giant monk hesitated for quite a while, calculating with fingers, finding the other indeed hasn’t lied. The intention to make friends was genuine. With a deep breath, he pressed palms together in a salute, reaching out to touch the snake head...
Chen Xuantian closed his eyes.
"Wow!!"
"OOOOOH!!"
Suddenly, blood-red light surged into the sky! As the giant monk touched the snake head! As Chen Xuantian closed his eyes! From the hollow snake eyes, two beams of blood-red light surged! Instantly immobilizing the giant monk! Scaring him out of his wits! Screaming in a high pitch like a little girl!
Chen Xuantian, with eyes closed, forming a mantra, raised one eyebrow,
"You bear-like guy, how co your scream is all OOOOH."
