Chapter 683: Ancestor Mountaingoa (2/2)
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, “No.”
Though Xiang Mingzhi obtaining the Azure Dragon DivineFire posed a certain risk to Huang Xiaolong, he wasn’t perturbed.
What he was thinking of was, in fact, his parents in his previous life on Earth.
Close to seventy years had passed since he was reborn into this world, he wondered how his previous parents were. If the time flow here was the same to Earth, then his past life parents had most likely passed away.
For a moment, sadness filled Huang Xiaolong’s heart.
Sensing Huang Xiaolong’s sadness, Shi Xiaofei reached out to hold his hands, tenderness in her eyes looking at him, “Regardless how the future may be, I will always be by your side.”
His wrist turned, grasping Shi Xiaofei’s small hands in his, saying affectionately, “After I win the first place in the Highgod Advancement Tournament, let's get married.”
Shi Xiaofei trembled, her eyes red-rimmed and misty.
Under the moonlight, two figures embraced each other.
The night’s dark curtain quietly gave way as the brilliant sunlight shone from the east.
Coming out from his yard, Huang Xiaolong headed to the front hall. Chen Ye, the Ascending Moon Old Man, and Shi Xiaofei were already sitting in the hall.
When Huang Xiaolong saw the old man that had disappeared for the last several days, he couldn’t resist taking a stab at him, “Have you been fermenting in the Royal Pill House for the last couple of days?”
The Ascending Moon Old Man grinned sheepishly, “How did you know?”
Huang Xiaolong was speechless. It seems like this old man had really been sleeping at the Royal Pill House for the last few days. Then again, speaking of Royal Pill House, his thoughts strayed toward the Royal Pill Wine. Saliva pooled in his mouth at the thought of the wine. He decided on the spot to stay in Royal Pill City a little longer just for the Royal Pill Wine.
Despite the Royal Pill House’s rule that restricted each person to one jug of Royal Pill Wine, as long as one had money, they could go there every day.
At this time, Chen Ye respectfully asked the Ascending Moon Old Man, “Master, the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition will start in an hour, shall we…?”
The Ascending Moon Old Man nodded, “En, let’s depart now!” With that said, the four of them left the mansion, walking toward the Alchemist Grandmaster Association headquarters. The Alchemist Grandmaster Competition would be held at the square in front of the headquarters building.
By the time Huang Xiaolong’s group of four arrived, the square was already packed with people.
Lin Pinghai and the other Elders who had arrived early hurried forward when they saw Chen Ye and the Ascending Moon Old Man, saluting with the utmost respect. The noisy square quieted down significantly when they arrived.
Nearly everyone turned their heads to look.
There were a lot of people, but Huang Xiaolong still spotted Xiang Mingzhi amongst them. In that instant, their eyes met. In Xiang Mingzhi’s eyes, Huang Xiaolong saw great hatred, killing intent, and even disdain.
“I didn’t expect that old monster to also be here,” the Ascending Moon Old Man muttered under his breath.
Huang Xiaolong heard the Ascending Moon Old Man’s muttering under his breath and his eyes followed in the direction of the Ascending Moon Old Man’s gaze, leading to a small statured old man with a goatee—a bizarre skinny old man.
“That’s Ancestor Mountaingoat?!” Chen Ye was surprised when he the bizarre old man.
Ancestor Mountaingoat? Huang Xiaolong was baffled. This Ancestor Mountaingoat was able to make the Ascending Moon Old Man and Chen Ye pay such attention.
Chen Ye explained to Huang Xiaolong, “This Ancestor Mountaingoat is one of the strongest Beast Kings of the demonic beast clan. He is a master on the God Ranking List. I didn't expect him to also participate in the competition!”
