Chapter 1490: You Can Take Half As Reward (2/2)
Huang Xiaolong cupped his fists at Fang Gan as he responded, “Uncle Fang Gan, I understand that the Fortune Emperor Palace needs Fortune Divine Fruits, so I won’t take these two million Fortune Divine Fruits. The three million Fortune Divine Fruits are enough for me to cultivate for a long time. As for that request, I still have not decided, but when I think of it, I would tell Uncle Fang Gan.”
Fang Gan hesitated. “Alright then, then Uncle Fang will keep these two million Fortune Divine Fruits.” He gave Huang Xiaolong a grateful look as he went on, “Xiaolong ah, Xuan’er safe return is all due to your effort, and Uncle Fang thanks you for saving Xuan’er’s life.”
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, and said quickly, “Uncle Fang is too polite.”
Fang Gan smiled kindly and praised Huang Xiaolong before turning around to face the guests. He cupped his fists and said to everyone, “The banquet continues.”
Huang Xiaolong put away the spatial rings containing three million Fortune Divine Fruits and six low-grade chaos spiritual veins.
Everyone returned to their seats.
However, when Huang Xiaolong was about to return to his seat beside Senior Brother Chen Hao, Fang Gan refused no matter what Huang Xiaolong said, and insisted him to sit at the front table, beside his Master Zhao Lei.
Huang Xiaolong relented under Fang Gan’s persistence.
Azure Dragon Emperor Chen Jianwei as well as other Emperor Palaces’ Emperors came up to Fang Gan, and undulating wishes of congratulations rang in the hall.
Azure Dragon Emperor Chen Jianwei laughed as he spoke to Fang Gan and Zhao Lei, “Brother Fang Gan, Brother Zhao Lei, congratulations to the both of you. The Fortune Emperor Palace has received a king of supreme godhead disciple ah. There’ll be a day when Xiaolong will stand at the top of the world, so would the Fortune Emperor Palace.”
Chen Jianwei had called Huang Xiaolong as Xiaolong, which roused faint furrows between Huang Xiaolong’s brows.
Fang Gan laughed heartily as he cupped his fists at Chen Jianwei as a thank you gesture. Beside him, Zhao Lei said with a big smile, “This kid had hidden this matter from us before, making us worry for half a day in vain. When we get back, I should smack his backside as punishment.”
Huang Xiaolong broke out in cold sweat imagining the sight.
Chen Jianwei as well as other Emperors could only chuckle in response.
Sun Shihai followed closely behind Zhou Chen. He watched as various Emperor Palaces’ masters praised and complemented Huang Xiaolong, while the main stars of the apprenticeship ceremony who should have been him and Peng Xiao were completely ignored. Everyone had seemed to have forgotten his existence, and the gaze in his eyes turned gloomy and venomous.
The apprenticeship ceremony ended ten hours later than the Fortune Emperor Palace had estimated.
After the ceremony, some Emperor Palaces’ masters chose to stay a few days at the Fortune Emperor Palace so the disciples they had brought along with them could befriend Huang Xiaolong.
Thus, in the next few days, the doorsteps of Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation palace were crowded with other Emperor Palaces’ disciples.
A few days later, Huang Xiaolong could finally catch his breath after all these guests left Fortune Emperor Palace.
However, Bei Xiaomei was still around. She continued to stay at the Fortune Emperor Palace and run to Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation palace every day, calling for him, “Uncle, Uncle.”
Huang Xiaolong sighed inwardly and looked at the sky.
This went on for a month until Huang Xiaolong finally said that he needed to enter seclusion and cultivation to breakthrough to God King Realm at the earliest, as an excuse to Bei Xiaomei. Bei Xiaomei pouted unhappily and agreed, “Alright, it’s more important for Uncle to cultivate, but you must come find me at the Silver Fox Commerce’s headquarters.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded his head and promised, “Sure.”
Bei Xiaomei hooked Huang Xiaolong’s pinky with hers and said, “The liar is a piggy.”
Huang Xiaolong gave birth to a strong impulse to run.
