Immortal God of War-Chapter 142 The Watertight Plan_1

Elder Jing’s eyebrows arched, clearly somewhat displeased.

Fatty tempted him, saying, "Elder Jing, if this succeeds, it will be a great merit!"

"A great merit!"

Elder Jing’s eyes gleamed. He leaped from the window, landed in front of Fatty, and asked, "So how do you want me to assist you?"

Fatty said, "Jian Haotian has a peculiar hobby. If we cater to it, he’ll surely agree."

"And what hobby might that be?"

Elder Jing looked surprised.

Fatty said, "He likes bear paws."

"Bear paws?"

Elder Jing paused, then chuckled, "That’s simple. We’ll just go to a restaurant and buy one."

"No, no, no."

Fatty waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head. "The bear paws in restaurants have usually been stored for a long time and aren’t fresh at all. Jian Haotian likes fresh bear paws, preferably just severed."

"In the dead of night, where are we to find him fresh bear paws?" Elder Jing frowned.

Fatty said, "Outside the city! In that huge mountain range. I refuse to believe there isn’t a single bear there."

"There are surely bears in the mountains, but a round trip would take at least two hours." Elder Jing seemed hesitant.

His duty was to guard the medicinal field. If he went outside the city to find bear paws, it would be dereliction of duty. If his superiors found out, he would be punished.

"I originally wanted to go myself," Fatty said, "but with my meager strength, I’d barely be a mouthful for the fierce beasts. So, I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip, Elder."

"I understand your concerns, Elder."

"Rest assured, I will stay here and guard the medicinal field diligently."

"Moreover, if we can persuade Jian Haotian to change his mind, Elder He won’t punish you and might even reward you with a few Battle Intent Pills."

"Perhaps, Elder, you might even become the next candidate for Law Enforcement Elder," Fatty instigated.

"Battle Intent Pills!"

"Next candidate!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Jing’s spirits soared, and he became incredibly excited.

"Elder, this is a rare opportunity; it won’t come again. You must grasp it firmly," Fatty struck while the iron was hot, continuing to fan the flames.

Elder Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I’ll go out of the city now."

"They have to be one hundred percent fresh," Fatty said, still a little worried.

"Mm," Elder Jing nodded.

"However, you must guard the medicinal field well. There can be no mishaps."

"If anything happens, just shout. The few Steward Elders living nearby will come to help immediately," Elder Jing instructed.

"Don’t worry, Elder! Anyone who wants to steal the medicinal herbs will have to step over Disciple’s dead body first!" Fatty declared with conviction.

"Good." Elder Jing nodded in satisfaction, patted Fatty’s shoulder, then turned and quickly vanished into the night along the path.

Fool! Fatty’s face filled with contempt. So what if he’s strong? Without a clever mind, he’ll still be played like a monkey.

He hummed a little tune contentedly, "There’s a girl in the village named Xiaofang, pretty and kind..." He entered the medicinal field and began his looting plan.

However, just as he bent down, grasped a medicinal herb, and prepared to pull it out by the roots, Elder Jing returned. Seeing Fatty’s actions, he shouted, "What are you doing?"

Fatty’s chubby body froze. Damn it, why is he back? he cursed inwardly.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he pointed at the medicinal herb and launched into a tirade.

"Look at them!"

"They’re all Spirit Essence; look how beautiful they grow!"

"And you?"

"Such a crooked, ugly thing, a complete aberration!"

"Do you think you deserve Master Fatty watering you and weeding for you every day?"

"Can’t you try to grow properly?"

The medicinal herb was truly wronged. If it could speak, it would surely curse Fatty. How could a person be so shameless?

Elder Jing also looked on with contempt. Arguing with a medicinal herb? This Fatty is truly an idiot.

"Grow a bit better for me, or Master Fatty will use you to feed the fish!" Fatty glared fiercely at the medicinal herb again, then stood up, looked at Elder Jing, and said with an embarrassed smile, "This medicinal herb was growing crooked. Disciple was just helping it grow straight."

Then he asked, "Elder, did you get the bear paws so quickly?"

AHEM! Elder Jing coughed dryly, suppressing his laughter.

"How could it be so fast?"

"I came back to tell you, after this matter succeeds, if Elder He and the others ask, you say this idea was mine."

"But if it fails, it has nothing to do with me. You must take full responsibility," Elder Jing said, his face expressionless.

This... Fatty hesitated.

"What? Do you have an objection?" Elder Jing frowned, his eyes unfriendly.

"How would Disciple dare to have any objections? Disciple will do whatever Elder says," Fatty quickly waved his hands, an obsequious look on his face.

"That’s more like it." Elder Jing glanced at Fatty disdainfully, then turned and left once more.

You damned bastard, do you really think Master Fatty is made of clay! Fatty’s eyes glinted coldly.

After waiting for about fifty to sixty breaths, seeing Elder Jing hadn’t returned again, he took out his Qiankun Bag, ran into the medicinal field, and began looting frantically.

It was late at night. The people of the Elixir King Palace were either cultivating or resting. Basically, no one would come to the medicinal field at this time. But one couldn’t rule out the unexpected. Therefore, Fatty was extremely nervous at this moment. If discovered, even nine lives wouldn’t be enough for him to lose.

Soon, he was drenched in sweat—not from fatigue, but from extreme nervousness. He now wished he could grow three heads and six arms. The medicinal field was too large. It was simply impossible to clear it out in a short time.

With an apprehensive heart, after an hour, Fatty finally looted the entire medicinal field.

"Retreat!"

Immediately after, he ran towards the small path. On the way, he encountered a medicinal herb he had missed earlier. Without hesitation, he uprooted it and tossed it into his Qiankun Bag.

Master Fatty won’t leave you a damn thing!

A few breaths later, he stood on the small path and glanced back at the medicinal field. A sneer filled his eyes. He then composed himself, affecting a very calm demeanor, and walked out.

Soon, he arrived at the reception hall. Fatty hid outside the door, peeking furtively into the hall. Seeing only Lu Hong inside, he walked in and asked in a low voice, "Where’s Wang Yu?"

"Not many people came tonight, so he went to cultivate," Lu Hong said. She looked at him puzzledly. "Why did you suddenly come here? And why do you look so sneaky?"

"Master Fatty is here to take you to fly," Fatty gave a sly laugh.

"Fly?" Lu Hong was stunned.

"Stop asking questions, let’s go!" Fatty urged.

"But where are we really going?" Lu Hong frowned.

Fatty said, "It’s definitely something good. Don’t ask for now. You’ll know once we meet up with Jian Haotian."

Lu Hong shook her head. "No, the reception hall only has me right now. I can’t leave my post without authorization."

"You woman, why are you so long-winded? If I tell you to go, you go!" Fatty became impatient, grabbed Lu Hong’s arm, and started dragging her outside.

"Fine, fine, I’ll walk myself! I want to see what kind of trick you’re playing." Lu Hong struggled free, shot Fatty a glare, then followed him out of the hall. They ran onto a major street and sprinted forward.

However, she had no idea that Fatty had dragged her onto a pirate ship, one she could never get off.

The Elixir King Palace was in the South City district. At their speed, let alone running to the North City district where the Martial King Palace was located, just running out of South City would take one to two hours.

So, halfway there, they bumped into the returning Elder Jing!

Elder Jing blocked their path, his clothes stained with blood, and stared grimly at the two. "Fatty, didn’t I tell you to guard the medicinal field? Why did you run out on your own?"

"And you, Lu Hong, abandoning your post! Aren’t you afraid Wang Yu will punish you?"

Lu Hong’s face paled. She hurriedly said, "It was Fatty who dragged me out! Elder, please forgive me!"

Elder Jing was furious, shouting sharply, "Fatty, what crime have you committed!"

Fatty said with a fawning smile, "Elder Jing, don’t be angry yet. Let Disciple finish speaking."

"Alright, speak," Elder Jing said.

Fatty said, "Disciple didn’t want to waste time, so I came to rendezvous with you. Then we can go to the Martial King Palace together. As for bringing Lu Hong, it’s because she’s also very familiar with Jian Haotian and can definitely help out. Elder, you wouldn’t want all your hard work to end in failure, right?"

Elder Jing frowned. "Is that so?"

Fatty gave a fawning smile. "Of course. How would I dare to deceive you?"

This fatso is timid and afraid of death; he definitely wouldn’t have the guts to lie to me, Elder Jing thought to himself. He then asked, "Then what about the medicinal field?"

Fatty used his glib tongue to completely dispel Elder Jing’s doubts: "Elder, just put your heart at ease. It’s just for one night; nothing will go wrong. Besides, in the entire Yan Province, who would dare to cause trouble at the Elixir King Palace? As for the disciples of the palace, it’s the middle of the night, and they’ve all gone to sleep. Who would go to the medicinal field? So, even if we neglect our duties, no one will know."

Then, he asked, "Elder, did you get the bear paws?"

Elder Jing nodded. "Got them. Four of them."

"Excellent!" Fatty was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Elder Jing, now I must trouble you again to take us to the Martial King Palace. The faster, the better. We must try to handle Jian Haotian before dawn. When that time comes, Elder, you will surely achieve a meteoric rise!"

Elder Jing’s eyes lit up. He grabbed the two of them and sped towards North City.

Idiot! Fatty sneered inwardly.

In reality, all of this was within his calculations. Making Elder Jing go outside the city to get bear paws was purely to buy enough time to loot the medicinal field. After looting the medicinal field, he naturally couldn’t continue staying at the Elixir King Palace. If he were discovered, wouldn’t he be doomed?

Therefore, he incited Lu Hong to escape from the Elixir King Palace.

Encountering Elder Jing on the way seemed unintentional, but it was also part of his plan. This major street was the main thoroughfare to the Elixir King Palace. As a Steward Elder of the Elixir King Palace, and since it was late at night and he wasn’t doing anything shameful, he wouldn’t take a detour through small alleys. Thus, the encounter was expected.

And the reason for still seeking out Elder Jing was that only by using Elder Jing could he rendezvous with Qin Feiyang as quickly as possible. Furthermore, by meeting halfway, Elder Jing wouldn’t know that the medicinal field had already been looted by him. Instead, he would even happily escort him to the Martial King Palace.

This was his meticulously planned scheme to loot the medicinal field and escape the Elixir King Palace! It could be said to be foolproof!

Of course, the premise for all this was ambition and desire. If Elder Jing had no ambition, no desires, then his plan would not have succeeded.
