Chapter 3902: Chapter 1871: Lotus Crystal
Sweat made a detour from the eyebrows, darting into the eye socket, making it both astringent and itchy.
Liu Guifen’s eyelashes fluttered a few times, subconsciously wanting to reach up to wipe the sweat, but dared not move.
"Can, can do it!"
He nodded stiffly.
Not just Liu Guifen, even in the private room, Aunt Xiang, Lei Xi’er, and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man exchanged a glance, also feeling the immense pressure.
This intense sense of oppression...
The master of North Street, Lord of East Street, it’s just idle gossip for inquisitive people during tea and meals.
The Divine at the Cross Corner Street truly dominates an area!
When not seeing him, the various faction leaders might dare to call themselves Emperor, but in front of him, even when faced with just one hand of The Divine, they wouldn’t dare to let one fart slip.
Aunt Xiang was clearly used to this and adapted extremely well to the rhythm of such negotiations.
When the hand of The Divine returned, she lightly patted the back of it, indicating reward, and then nestled it between her crossed long legs before glancing towards Liu Guifen at the door with smiling eyes:
"Emperor Gui Fen..."
"Aunt Xiang, just call me Little Liu." Liu Guifen now shuddered at the sound of "Emperor".
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a certain dead silence.
He realized something, that he had interrupted Aunt Xiang, truly a path to his own demise, and hurriedly apologized:
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it..."
"Please continue, Aunt Xiang, please continue."
Aunt Xiang chuckled lightly, and rather than truly address him as "Little Liu", she simply called him by name: "Liu Guifen, what joy does East Street have that warrants the master of North Street to come and congratulate in person?"
"It’s just they’re calling it randomly, in Cross Corner Street, why would there be any other street master? Merely acknowledging the Lord of East Street, hehe, hehe..." Liu Guifen habitually flattered, but seeing the several people in the room expressionless, he knew his flattery had backfired.
He coughed dryly, bowed with serious expression: "I came here to firstly thank The Divine Almighty for eliminating harm in the Ran Ming ruins, indirectly saving my life."
"Oh?"
Aunt Xiang’s lips twitched with a smile, "You’ve been to the Divine Relics?"
"Uh-huh, got some fortune."
Liu Guifen nodded repeatedly, not dwelling much on these trivial details:
"A verbal thank you, of course, can’t express my sincerity."
"I understand The Divine Almighty was injured from eliminating harm and hasn’t fully recovered yet, I brought a gift..."
At this point, the eyes of the three in the room all changed.
Liu Guifen sharply sensed the icy atmosphere, stopped speaking abruptly, lifted his eyes, with a hint of confusion.
"How did you know The Divine was injured, or otherwise?" Aunt Xiang’s tone wasn’t kind.
Liu Guifen froze, pointing at the large hand on her leg: "Isn’t this an injury, only a hand left..."
"I meant!" Aunt Xiang’s face fell, "Before coming here, how did you know The Divine only had one hand left?"𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Uh..."
Facing three pairs of killing-intent filled eyes, Liu Guifen shrank his neck, weakly said: "I, saw with my own eyes."
Saw?
He at the Divine Relics, saw The Divine’s Four Sacrifice, staff shattering Cursed Yin’s physique?
"Impossible!"
Aunt Xiang brusquely waved her hand.
She had heard from The Divine, knowing the Divine Relics comprised the Three Heavens.
The Divine’s Four Sacrifice, Overlord’s staff, emerged in the Heavenly Realm’s Thirty Three Heavens, reachable only by Super Taoization.
At that place, at that time, there was no one else present.
Afterwards, only Cao Erzhu arrived, even Xu Xiaoshou had to take the Heavenly Realm Core before reaching the summit, what strength does this Liu Guifen have, to reach the Thirty Three Heavens, witness with his own eyes?
"It’s like this..."
Liu Guifen bent over, wiping the sweat as he spoke:
"I would never dare to deceive Aunt Xiang and the others, really wouldn’t use such matters to joke."
"I practiced a technique, during unconsciousness the spirit wanders outside, then a residual intent drifted to the stars beyond, seeing The Divine Almighty’s staff from an external perspective..."
Seeing Aunt Xiang clearly skeptical, he hurriedly added a few words:
"This technique is of no big use, just a trace of consciousness leaves the self, somewhat extreme at most."
"The Divine Almighty didn’t sense me, nor did the Cursed Yin notice, because apart from seeing, I couldn’t do anything else, a useless person."
"During unconsciousness, if someone stabbed my physique, I’d die on the spot!"
Such a technique?
Aunt Xiang furrowed her brows, was suspicious.
The Divine’s large hand gently tapped on her leg, Aunt Xiang understood and realized discussing these details wasn’t important, asking again:
"East Street, what joy does it have?"
Only then did Liu Guifen secretly breathe a sigh of relief, returning calmly.
Hehe, isn’t entirely without room for maneuver, they even believe this off-the-cuff nonsense, proving that in front of The Divine, it’s possible to lie, not necessary to tell the whole truth.
Liu Guifen grasped a bit of negotiation tricks.
Of course, not all his words were fabricated.
The Divine’s Four Sacrifice, Overlord’s staff, staff shattering Cursed Yin—those were background secret data he exchanged with a large sum of contribution points when undertaking the "Aunt Xiang’s Chambers" mission.
It concerned the Ancestral God, at that time it gave him quite a scare!
Liu Guifen took out a jade box the length of a forearm and the width of a palm from the spatial ring, holding it up with both hands, smiled:
"Aunt Xiang, have you ever heard of the ’Burning Dream Swamp’ of the Eastern Region?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xiang’s expression moved, her legs unconsciously clamped onto The Divine’s large hand, with more joy in her eyes.
What place is it?
Lei Xi’er and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man were confused, never heard of it.
Liu Guifen spoke eloquently: "Not a few wondrous places in the five regions, the Burning Dream Swamp in the Eastern Region was once one of them."
"There is an ancient spiritual beast in Burning Dream Swamp, called the ’Elephant World Spider’, now extinct."
"Elephant World Spider spins thread once every thousand years, if this thread happens to be spun over the White Fang Lake of Burning Dream Swamp, there’s a one in ten thousand chance its power would be absorbed by the exceptionally rare ’Sky Heart Lotus’ at the lake’s center, cultivated over a hundred years, it would produce a crystal, called the ’Elephant World Spider Lotus Crystal’."
