Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 142: Upper realm

Half an hour later, everyone was gathered around a table in my courtyard.

I was still the one that was responsible for providing the drinks and snacks, so I took out the same things as before.

Or I would have taken out the same things as before if not for...

"Tea? It barely tastes like anything. Don’t you have anything else?" Mu Bao Bao complained after taking a sip of the tea that I offered her.

When the elders heard this, they all deeply knitted their brows.

After all, the tea that I was offering was the same tea as before.

This was the tea that was brewed from the Nine Lives Grass.

This was one of the top herbs on the continent and yet she was complaining about it. There would be countless people that would happily fight over a single drop of this tea and here she was tossing it aside...

This little girl was as much of a prodigal as Lin Fan!

Since she didn’t want the tea, the only thing that I could do was pull out some fruits from the system and have the lackeys turn it into juice.

When they came back, they had bitter looks on their faces. It was as if they couldn’t believe what they had just used to make this juice that they were holding.

The elders also couldn’t help looking carefully at the juice that was brought in since they could feel the spiritual energy that it was releasing. This spiritual energy was even stronger than what was contained in the Nine Lives Grass tea...

As soon as the lackey brought it over, Mu Bao Bao took it and gulped it down in one sip before letting out a satisfied sigh. She put the cup down and said, "I want more."

I just shook my head and took out another few fruits for the lackeys to turn into juice for Mu Bao Bao.

This time, the elders looked carefully at the fruits and found that these were all...First Grade Herbs!

These were all things that were more valuable than the Nine Lives Grass and they were being used to make fruit for this little girl...

There was a part of them that wanted to cry when they saw this and a part of them that wanted to scold Mu Bao Bao for the way that she was acting, but they remembered how much power was in that pink fireball that she shot in their direction and stopped themselves.

They knew that even if they were to scold her...it wasn’t as if she would listen to them.

After this passed, I took my time explaining what happened in the mission and how we met Mu Bao Bao, but I did make sure to leave out the part about the title. Instead, I just told them that I awakened some kind of power that made spirit beasts more comfortable with me.

At that, Mu Bao Bao did move closer to me and even rubbed up against me before saying, "Un, it does feel comfortable being near you."

This might have been fine if she was in a spirit beast form, but in a human form...

Liu Ao Xue narrowed her eyes, but her expression quickly relaxed when she remembered what happened.

It seemed that she was no longer prone to being as jealous as before after gaining confidence from what happened.

But I realized something that I forgot to ask, so I turned to Mu Bao Bao to ask, "What were you doing in that place in the first place?"

Mu Bao Bao tilted her head to think about it before saying, "Oh, I was angry at my dad, so I ran away from home. I came down to this lower realm to have some fun."

"Lower realm?" The others couldn’t help muttering under their voices as they revealed confused looks.

"So you’re saying that you come from some upper realm?" I wasn’t surprised since this was the kind of thing that usually happened in cultivation novels.

The first realm that the main character appeared in was usually some kind of lower realm and then they would move on to the next realm when they reached a certain level of cultivation.

At the same time, it was common for those from the upper realm to come down and teach those from the lower realm.

Most main characters would form one or multiple connections with the upper realm before heading there.

Though I was certain that no one suffered at the hands of their upper realm connection like me...

As if the dam had been released, Mu Bao Bao continued to say, "It’s all my dad’s fault! He broke my favourite brush and then tried to hide it from me by getting a bunch of fakes! He even..."

She kept venting about the trivial matter between her and her father that made her run away in the end, but I was more interested in...

"Who is your father?" I suddenly cut her off.

Mu Bao Bao was surprised to be asked this, but she still said, "My dad is the Nine Tails Emperor in the Sakura Upper Realm."

The way that she said this was casual, but the words that she said were anything but casual...

After all, an emperor in the upper realm definitely wasn’t weak.

Now the elders understood why they had been completely overpowered by this young girl.

The descendant of an emperor in the upper realm definitely wouldn’t be weak.

But there was something else that I realized...

"So your father will come for you later?" I asked Mu Bao Bao.

All of the elders trembled when they heard this.

Mu Bao Bao shook her head and said, "No, it’s impossible for my father to descend into this lower realm. If he does come, all he can do is send a clone. If he tries to do anything with the clone, then I’ll send him packing!"

Mu Bao Bao flexed one arm and grabbed her bicep as she said this.

I had a look on my face that made it seem like I didn’t believe her, but I wasn’t worried.

That was because the system had said...

"Upper realm? They’re still too weak to even enter this system’s eyes."

It seemed like my system liked to compete...
