Chapter 1490: You Can Take Half As Reward (1/2)
Fang Gan immediately checked Fang Xuanxuan’s condition using his divine sense. His heart fell back to his chest after confirming that his daughter was merely unconscious and had no other negative sequel.
A figure condensed of colorful lights walked out from the crack in the void. No one felt any ripples of energy fluctuations from this light-man, but when they felt his gaze passing over them, even Emperor Realm masters’ felt palpitations.
The light-man’s facial features were a little vague which made it hard for others to recognize his identity. However, his attention mainly fell on Huang Xiaolong after he came out of the void. Huang Xiaolong was still in his primordial divine dragon form.
The light-man’s eyes were in fact empty holes and his voice was low and a little gruff. “How many years has it been since a new king of supreme godhead genius has appeared again in the Divine World? Huang Xiaolong, is it? I have remembered your name, there aren’t a lot of people in this universe who are worthy for me to remember them. I hope you would have grown much stronger by time of the Battle of the Heavenly Court, enough to contend with our Fiend God Emperor Palace’s Emperor’s Disciple.”
Wang Yongsen floated up from the square without the light-man making any gesture in particular and both of them disappeared into the black void crack.
Li Shan and Chen Yirong both made a move to chase after them, but Fang Gan shook his head to stop them.
As the light-man was merely a body of energy condensed by one of the Fiend God Emperor Palace’s master with some kind of technique, it wasn’t much of a use to capture ‘him.’
For now, none of this mattered as long as his daughter Fang Xuanxuan was safe.
As the light-man and Wang Yongsen disappeared, the void crack shrunk until space returned to normal.
Though Wang Yongsen was taken away by the light-man, the spatial rings containing three million Fortune Divine Fruits and six low-grade chaos spiritual veins were left behind on the ground. The Fiend God Emperor Palace had kept their part of the bet.
A light glimmered in the air as Huang Xiaolong returned to his human body, and leisurely put on a new set of robe.
Looking at the spatial rings containing three million Fortune Divine Fruits and six low-grade chaos spiritual veins, Huang Xiaolong's hand reached out, as he was about to collect the items from the ground, when a voice shouted, “Wait!”
Everyone turned to see that Zhou Chen was the one who had asked Huang Xiaolong to stop.
Seeing he had become the center of attention all of a sudden, Zhou Chen’s voice weakened by half as he said, “Huang Xiaolong, those three million Fortune Divine Fruits originally belonged to our Fortune Emperor Palace. Since you are a disciple of Fortune Emperor Palace, and even if you won the competition, those three million Fortune Divine Fruits should be returned to the Fortune Emperor Palace!”
“As for those six low-grade chaos spiritual veins, you can take half as your reward.”
The great hall fell into a strange silence after Zhou Chen finished speaking. The masters of various Emperor Palaces were watching Zhou Chen with weird expressions.
It was obvious that all of them were thinking the same thing—this Zhou Chen has got quite the thick face.
Those three million Fortune Divine Fruits did belong to the Fortune Emperor Palace, but when Wang Yongsen had defeated Sun Shihai and won the three million Fortune Divine Fruits, they had become Wang Yongsen's instead of the Fortune Emperor Palace. Since Huang Xiaolong had defeated Wang Yongsen, they naturally and rightfully belonged to Huang Xiaolong now.
In truth, whether it were the three million Fortune Divine Fruits or six low-grade chaos spiritual veins, all of those items were won by Huang Xiaolong using the Yellow Springs Magic Robe and a soul defensive grandmist spiritual artifact as stakes.
This Zhou Chen has the cheek to say half of the low-grade chaos spiritual veins can be given to Huang Xiaolong as a reward?
Zhao Lei's face darkened instantly upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, but he smirked with satire at Zhou Chen. “Zhou Chen, I believe everyone is clear whether these Fortune Divine Fruits and low-grade chaos spiritual veins belong to my disciple or the Fortune Emperor Palace. And when mentioning rewards, Sect Chief had said earlier that anyone who could defeat Wang Yongsen would be rewarded with two million Fortune Divine Fruits, as well as one promise from him.”
When Zhou Chen tried to argue, Fang Gan raised his hand and interrupted him. Fang Gan looked at Zhao Lei and smiled, “I say, now that you’ve a treasure of a disciple, there’s no longer this good brother in your eyes. Do you need to protect him so?” He then looked at Huang Xiaolong amiably and said, “Xiaolong ah, don’t worry, Uncle Fang Gan’s words are good as gold. You’ll get your rightful reward.”
A soft light glimmered as the spatial ring containing two million Fortune Divine Fruits appeared in his hand. Fang Gan gave the spatial ring to Huang Xiaolong while saying, “As for that request, tell me, as long as it’s within Uncle’s ability, Uncle will fulfill it.”
Now that Huang Xiaolong had ‘exposed’ his king of supreme godhead, Fang Gan’s behavior towards Huang Xiaolong had taken a hundred and eighty degrees turn. Fang Han was smiling as if he and Huang Xiaolong had always been close, and he had even changed his salutation to Uncle for Huang Xiaolong.
Others blanked for a second hearing Fang Gan call himself uncle, but immediately understood his actions.
