Chapter 178: Finding ShuiJing
Little Fatty first asked the demonic witches to release Daoist Han, so to allow him to regain his consciousness. When Daoist Han woke up, he realised that he was in a foreign place and that his body was completely unable to move. Immediately knew that he had been caught and pleaded, “Junior brother Song, we can talk over things nicely!”
“There’s nothing to talk about. Didn’t you want 2,500,000? I will fulfill your wis.h.!.+” Little Fatty said with a devious laughter.
“No no no, I don’t want it anymore. Senior brother Song, I am willing to give the news to you for free. I only beg that you will let me go!” Daoist Han pleaded.
“Hehe, my apologies, but I already have the news I want. I have no need for your nonsense!” Little Fatty said with a cold laughter.
“You found out already? How is that possible?” Daoist Han was first stunned. Then he looked at the ladies surrounding him and immediately understood what happened, “Nine Beauties Painting? So you used the Nine Beauties Painting to subdue me and asked the demonic witches to read my memory?”
“Smart! But there’s no prize!” Little Fatty said coldly, “Now, you should know why I have no use for you anymore right? Hehe, you are only useful for me to vent my anger now!”
As he said that, Little Fatty reached out his hands and grabbed Daoist Han’s neck. As he strangled, he began to scold, “This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you actually dare to plot against me? You are really seeking death!”
Daoist Han tried to struggle, but just could not fight back against Little Fatty’s large hands and was strangled to death.
After killing him, Little Fatty immediately felt a bit better. However, in just a few moments, he began to worry about the corpse. He was not willing to have any ashes here, but he also could not take it outside to burn.
Just at this moment, Little Fatty looked towards the black soil and his eyes lit up. He thought to himself, ‘Since this thing is able to disa.s.semble magical artifacts, will it be able to disa.s.semble bodies?”
Thinking about this, Little Fatty buried Daoist Han’s body into the black soil. The result was that Daoist Han’s corpse was indeed broken down by the soil, and even at a quick pace. As Daoist Han’s body gradually disappeared, a large amount of spiritual Qi emanated from the black soil.
Apart from the spiritual Qi, a weird unknown substance was also generated. It is just that it dispersed as soon as it formed and mostly appeared as gas. Thus, Little Fatty was also unable to tell identify it. But the one thing he could be sure was that bodies could indeed be disa.s.sembled in the black soil as well. Furthermore, the amount of spiritual Qi contained within it is also extremely dense. As for the weird substance, Little Fatty intended to monitor the situation for a while more to see if it would affect him.
If this weird substance isn’t harmful and in fact something good, then Little Fatty would not have to waste the corpse of the demonic beasts in future. Little Fatty never expected that he could turn his misfortune around, this could also be considered a blessing in disguise.
In the next few days, Little Fatty seemed to be extremely relaxed as he played around with HongYing every day. Although they seemed like they were enjoying themselves greatly, there were only forced smiles on their faces. After all, they would not be too happy when facing the fact that they were leaving each other.
Furthermore, the most important thing was that there was something eating away at Little Fatty’s heart; his parents’ corpse!
In the past, Little Fatty did not dwell too much upon this matter, and thus did not feel anything. But after meeting Daoist Han and being reminded of the remains of his parents, this had cast a shadow on his heart. It made him unable to eat or sleep properly. Every time he closed his eyes, he would immediately be reminded of his poor parents, and whether or not their corpse was still being exposed to the elements in the wilderness.
Just this thought tortured Little Fatty for days, till he finally could not help revealing his thoughts. One afternoon when Little Fatty and HongYing was having a picnic, HongYing realised that Little Fatty was completely in a daze to the point he did not even know that his fish was burnt.
Immediately, HongYing knew that something was wrong. You have to know, Little Fatty loved to cook and eat the most, and would treasure something as precious as the eyeless fish. But these few days, he had burnt many of them, wasting them all. This was just too out of the ordinary.
As such, HongYing asked with concern, “Fatty bro, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” Little Fatty hurriedly replied.
“If there was nothing, you wouldn’t be burning the eyeless fis.h.!.+” HongYing replied, full of dissatisfaction.
“Ah, it’s burnt again?” As Little Fatty heard that, he received a shock. Then, he hurriedly threw the eyeless fish away and began roasting a new one.
As HongYing saw that, she shook her head while laughing helplessly and seriously spoke, “Fatty bro, you can tell me anything that’s on your mind. In a short while, I wouldn’t be able to hear it even if you wanted to tell me! I hope that you will not hide anything from me for these last few days!”
“This~” As Little Fatty thought, he immediately said with a bitter laughter, “Okay, okay, let me tell you the story then!”
“It’s like this!” Little Fatty then said, “A few days ago, someone told me the place where the remains of my parents lie!”
“Ah?” As HongYing heard that, she was first startled before saying, “Aiyah, that’s great. You can help them to s.h.i.+ft it back!”
“It isn’t that simple. I realised that this guy is just a liar. Apart from my mother’s necklace, he is unable to take out any other evidence. I suspect that he is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d from the devil sects who want to ambush me by baiting my like that for the rewards of the bounty!” Little Fatty said seriously.
“Aiyah, they’re just too despicable! This must definitely be the case. Fatty bro, don’t fall for it! We just need to stay put!” HongYing hurriedly advised.
“En, I will not believe that person’s words and would naturally not go. But the problem is, the moment he mentioned my parents’ remains, it has already cast a shadow over my heart. It is now all jittery to the point I can’t eat or sleep properly! This is just too frustrating!”
“Fatty bro, I can understand how you feel. But the problem is, the matter happened 20 years ago. With the Vast Mountains being such a huge place, you can’t possibly find them. It would like finding a needle in a haystack right?” HongYing said helplessly.
“No no, it’s not the same!” Little Fatty immediately shook his head and said, “If I want to find it, I do have some tracks to follow. I am just not too sure if I should go or not!”
“Oh?” As HongYing heard that, she immediately asked curiously, “Fatty bro, what method do you have to find them?”
“Very simple. First, I can ask the people who sent my parents out back then. I would be able to find the general location from them. Then, I can buy some magical tool for tracking and use my blood to find them.” Little Fatty added, “These magical tools for tracking aren’t too difficult to buy. If I know their general location, I can use my magical tool to slowly find. I would definitely be able to find some clues if that’s the case. If I really can’t find anything, I can still ask ShuiJing to see if she can help me to divine anything!”
