Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 443 - 419: Wang Wu’s Secret

Outside Dragon Head City, the Azure Sea Cold Qi had somehow returned to calm, like a warm winter’s spring, looking quite pleasant.

But Wang Wu’s mind was still full of doubts.

Because what has really happened?

Who is the traitor?

What kind of destruction has been caused!

Ultimately, it’s all the traitor’s fault. If he hadn’t escalated things, poor Baiyu wouldn’t have had to run crying for support. With support arriving, well, even if delayed for another two or three years, he could have worn off the blood curse, and everything would have been resolved.

No one knows he has the blood curse. Surely Baiyu wouldn’t dare reveal it, and he wouldn’t lose the respect of his master. Boo hoo, I’m so sad.

In short, I’m too depressed.

"Junior Brother!"

"Eh? Senior Sister!"

Wang Wu was pleasantly surprised to see Senior Sister Qin returning, but why such a complicated expression?

"Junior Brother, don’t be too upset." Senior Sister Qin spoke with a very complicated expression.

I’m not upset, am I? Actually, I am quite upset.

"Senior Sister, what is going on, what about the traitor in Dragon Head City?" Wang Wu quickly asked, feeling he might still salvage something.

"It’s nothing, it was Baiyu trying to use the Azure Sea Cold Qi to refine a very precious material, but someone repeatedly sabotaged him. He is incapable and blames you instead. Anyway, you needn’t worry about him, henceforth he should leave you alone."

Senior Sister Qin’s tone was as if she were visiting a patient, comforting a terminal illness patient in a procedural manner.

No way, no way, such a cute and beautiful Senior Sister must leave him too.

"Senior Sister, I actually can still contribute to the camp. I’ll surely find a way to remove the blood curse in the future."

"Junior Brother, don’t be foolish. Even if the Blood Curse Celestial Punishment is resolved, it would mean war with the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race. Their Great Witch Priest will still come looking for you, casting an even stronger Celestial Punishment Blood Curse. If pushed, they’ll capture you, just like they did with your ancestor, and throw you into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison for hundreds of thousands of years. You might as well enjoy your carefree days in Dragon Head City."

"Rest assured, the next Chief of the Dragon Head City’s branch will probably be me. With me here, it’ll be fine."

Wang Wu was truly dumbfounded this time.

So this was the crux of the issue, no wonder Old Man Gray had to give up on him, no wonder those three tasks from Old Man Gray were to make him live quietly and low-profile for eight hundred years, the plan was to deceive the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear and achieve Taiyi True Immortal in one go, rendering them helpless.

In the end, all messed up!

Indeed, his understanding just isn’t enough.

"Senior Sister, do you know what crime my ancestor committed that was so great?" Wang Wu couldn’t help but ask, for hundreds of thousands of years, still not letting go.

"Well—"

Senior Sister Qin took out the Hidden Element Jade Talisman to check on the spot, "Seems like it was rebellion, not specified, but it’s not important, you should know what I mean."

"In short, with your current foundation, reaching Tier Nine Earth Immortal shouldn’t be difficult, but don’t put effort into the Acquired Spirit Pill System anymore. Although it seems you’ve walked the correct path, there are too many internal injuries. The Five Spirit Pills seem harmonious, but the biggest hidden danger has already been sown, leading to minor Qigong Deviation or worse, loss of life."

With earnest advice, Senior Sister Qin then left a gourd of healing spirit pills for Wang Wu before leaving.

As soon as she left, Baiyu arrived, but his eyes no longer bore the previous redness of grievance, instead, reflecting a complicated expression.

"I never thought Old Man Gray could be so vicious, using Level 27 Divine Calculation to foresee and intercept you. Otherwise, you would be my junior brother by now. Alas, it has come to this, no other choices, if you want revenge, come for it, we’ll rely on our own skills. If you kill me, I won’t complain, but if you lose, I’ll spare you three times."

Quite sincere.

Wang Wu was momentarily speechless.

"I won’t seek revenge against you, let’s forget this. I’ll live out my days in Dragon Head City, just hope Lord Chief Steward won’t set me up anymore."

Baiyu snorted indifferently.

"Position determines perspective, everyone works for their own side, naturally, nothing is off-limits."

"Speaking of which, you are indeed impressive. After I schemed against you three times, you are only slightly weakened now. Especially your Innate Five Demon Pills, very strong, if not for the constraint of the blood curse, once you achieve Taiyi True Immortal, you would definitely be a top hitman of Old Man Gray’s camp, then it would be our turn to have headaches."

"Unfortunately, Old Man Gray is too cautious, afraid of offending the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race, hence trying to muddle through, and I do things too extremely rigid. Knowing you as a criminal of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race, of course, I would meticulously bring you down, haha!"

"Still, it’s fine now, you have no hope of advancing to Taiyi True Immortal, you won’t be much help to Old Man Gray, can’t go to Outer Heaven, can’t trial in the Divine Hall, it’s fine, if you’re bored, come find me for a drink."

"Thank you, Lord Chief Steward, for the kind offer. Now I just want to rest well and enjoy with my wives. If Lord Chief Steward truly feels guilty, perhaps compensate me with some Spiritual Qi."

Wang Wu is really short on Spiritual Qi right now, really.

"Spiritual Qi? How much do you want?"

Baiyu asked casually.

"How much can you give me, Lord Chief Steward?" Wang Wu was overjoyed, hoping for Baiyu to grandly wave his hand and credit ten billion.

But Baiyu suddenly said:

"Don’t get greedy, I don’t have deep pockets either, how about I give you some guidance instead."

"No way, Lord Chief Steward, you lack Spiritual Qi too?"

"What do you know, so it’s settled. I’ll guide you once, and then give you eight million Fighting Spiritual Qi. At most, I’ll promise you one reasonable, lawful, and justified request later, then our grievances should be settled."

"Only eight million Dou..."

Wang Wu was speechless, but, well, his current status was much better than before.

"Alright then, I kindly ask the Lord Chief Steward for guidance."

"Great, let’s go drink first. I happen to have two jars of Second Grade Half-Immortal Wine. Let me tell you, one jar is worth five million Dou of Spiritual Qi."

"But, Lord Chief Steward, you’re not lacking in Spiritual Qi!"

"You don’t understand shit; this Half-Immortal Wine was stolen from someone else by me and didn’t cost even a single Dou of Spiritual Qi, so how can it be the same?"

"Uh, the Lord Chief Steward is absolutely right!"

Saying this, Baiyu had already dragged Wang Wu into his cave, which was surprisingly quite modest and even smaller than Wang Wu’s cave, only about fifty square meters?

Truly a ruthless person, to squeeze out the potential energy of the Hidden Origin Bell, he actually subjected himself to such austerity.

"By the way, Lord Chief Steward, are you not continuing to refine those materials?" Wang Wu asked curiously.

"Refine my ass, the matter was screwed up, and that material was taken over by my second senior brother. I just need to survive this hundred-year term, and then I can get the hell out. By then, it’s likely your Senior Sister Qin will take over as Chief Steward."

Baiyu casually tossed over a jar of Half-Immortal Wine. Five million points of Spiritual Qi, Wang Wu was too scared to drink.

But Baiyu took several huge gulps. Truly extravagant.

"And the traitor, haven’t caught them?" Wang Wu asked again, mainly because he was worried that if the traitor was not caught, it would be troublesome when Senior Sister Qin took over.

"Traitor my ass, this matter, was either arranged by your master, Old Man Gray, or from the Black Emperor’s side. Damn it! At first, I even thought it was you, but now I realize, I’m so stupid, I’m so dumb!"

"Of course, it can’t be me. I’ve been almost like a turtle over the past decade, so suppressed by you that I couldn’t even fart, but seeing you in trouble, that’s truly delightful!" Wang Wu was quite schadenfreude.

"Haha! Interesting, I think seeing you in trouble is also quite good because I’m not the worst one, for that alone, let’s drink to the brim!"

Baiyu took several more huge gulps of Half-Immortal Wine.

Seeing this, Wang Wu was tempted. He couldn’t really trust Baiyu’s character. If he had the guts to steal wine, it wouldn’t be fun if Wang Wu didn’t drink it now and Baiyu started thinking about taking it away. So to hell with it, drink!

Wang Wu broke the Spirit Seal on top and took several big gulps as well.

"Good, good, good! Now that’s refreshing. I was just thinking, if you were reluctant to drink it, it would have wasted this Half-Immortal Wine. I would have to steal it back for you, just like that damn senior brother of mine, hmmm, it’s better to sneak it for a good drink!"

"Drink!"

Wang Wu thought, what a stroke of luck, he was right about this fellow, refreshing and bold, yet so extreme!

Oh well, we’re not on the same path anyway.

Let’s drink this jar of Half-Immortal Wine first, yeah, good wine!

Wang Wu actually started to feel a bit drunk, vaguely feeling that Baiyu across from him suddenly turned into his master, the Frost Monarch, that face, those eyes, so gentle.

"Wang Zhige, who do you think did this?"

"It mustn’t be me." Wang Wu didn’t know why, but his mind wasn’t obeying him, and he just answered whatever he was asked.

"I know it’s not you, but is it possible your Senior Sister? That you and your Senior Sister were colluding inside and out?"

"Senior Sister? Colluding inside and out, hehe, Senior Sister gave me a hundred Dragon Blood Pills. She’s been so good to me, I even want to marry her as my wife—"

"What’s your secret then?"

"Secret? I actually have a secret. I’m actually a person, you know, my name is Wang Wu—"

"I know, Wang Wu, also known as Zhige, that’s not a secret. Anything else?"

"Anything else? Let me think, a secret? Gosh, too many, a lot of secrets. Let me think, I’ve braved Yin Fire, braved Evil Wind, I’m very strong, does that count as a secret?"

"No, continue."

"Then I have two Five Elements Spirit Arrays deployed within my body, does that count as a secret?"

"No, just ordinary Five Elements Foundation Establishment Arrays. Continue."

"Uh, none of those, huh! Then I really have to think. I quite like your master, the Frost Monarch, the way she just smiled, I felt my soul was about to fly out—"

"Smack!"

Suddenly Wang Wu sobered up, uh, what just happened, who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

He held his face, it was burning, but, but, where’s Baiyu, where’s the Half-Immortal Wine?

Looking around, still Baiyu’s cave, dammit, what just happened.

Where’s Baiyu?

Wang Wu was looking around, Baiyu returned, but his expression was unusual; the look he gave was very complex, with a bit of anger and a hint of admiration. Was this still the Baiyu who just drank and sang with him, carefree?

"Hey, Lord Chief Steward, are we still drinking?"

"Drink your goddamn uncle!"

Baiyu cursed, but seemed a bit frightened and a little relieved, damn, scared the hell out of him!

His master should be really gone this time, right?
