Chapter 164 - Good-Hearted Bankrupt (1/2)

The man continued in his own reverie, looking exasperatedly at Shen Ying. One second, he wanted to kill her; the next, he was unable to resist offering items to her, insisting that she accepted them. All this time, his black sword did not come within a metre of Shen Ying. Instead, a whole mountain of objects lay in front of her: immortal weapons, treasures, immortal talismans, immortal pills and even a couple of immortal fruits and plants.

Shen Ying confirmed that this man… was mental!

Until…

He ran out of things to offer and finally stopped his insane behaviour. Looking absolutely helpless, he sat down next to a tree. A few dried leaves fell and landed on him, but he did not even bother to sweep them away. He looked vastly different from the way he did a moment ago.

Out of nowhere, Shen Ying felt a sense of guilt.

“About this…”

“Grand-aunt.. I’m begging you not to come any closer.” Lan Hua looked like he was about to burst into tears. “I have even given you the clothes that I was wearing. What else can I offer?” If she took one more step toward him, he might have had to take his pants off.

He had not known that the good-heartedness in him was such a wastrel! He was already well on his way to becoming an immortal demon. The demonic Qi was supposed to turn him into a Skyfiend. Yet, this accident had to occur.

He must have been the only one in the entire realm who ended up like that while on the path to becoming a demon. How his heart hurt…

“Er…” Shen Ying frowned and glanced at the mountain of treasures in front of her. Then, she surveyed what was left of the demonic Qi. She felt another overwhelming rush of guilt. Sighing, she said, “Do you have immortal stones?”

Lan Hua: “…”

Who was the demon here?

The corners of Lan Hua’s mouth twitched. He surrendered. He reached out and conjured a seal. Suddenly, a full storage back appeared in his hands. He threw it at Shen Ying. “Take it, take it! Take it all!” He has nothing left anyway.

“Thank you, Boss!” Shen Ying glanced at the bag and sniggered. “You might not know, but this fog was part of Father Niu’s business. You can’t take it all at will. You took in so much of it at that. Of course you’d have to pay for it.”

Thankfully, she was the one who found him. If it had been Father Niu…

She looked at the man who was sitting there in just his pants. Hmm, I’m rather kind! At least he still has his pants.

“…” Did he underpay her?

Shen Ying reached out for the robe he took off earlier and tossed it over.

“I don’t need this. You can put it on, otherwise you might catch a cold.”

Lan Hua caught it. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his chest. This was a familiar feeling. He felt a strange urge to take his pants off and toss it to Shen Ying, but he gritted his teeth and suppressed the embarrassing urge.

This darned good-heartedness!

He sucked in a deep breath and successfully put his robes on. Keeping his eyes on the woman seated opposite him, he cautiously took a step back to ensure that there was a safe distance between them. He did not want to be affected by his good-heartedness anymore.

“Hey, who exactly…” He wanted to take the chance to clarify her identity, but he suddenly felt strong immortal forces charging toward him. Among the forces, he sensed a particularly strong one which belonged to… a Young Emperor!

His expression changed. He did not think that there would be a Young Emperor not far away from him. He was too careless indeed. Given the situation he was in now, he could not afford to get into a fight with them.

He turned around to glare at the woman who was now buried in the mountain of immortal weapons. Lowering his voice, he warned, “Hey! If you don’t want to die, don’t tell anyone you saw me here.” He could not stop himself before he added, “Of course, I would never hurt you.”

Damn!

After he said this, his expression immediately became one of regret. Yet, he did not stick around to take back his words. In a flash, he disappeared from the field.

Shen Ying: “…”

Shen Ying looked at the mountain of items he left behind. Would it make a difference even if he did not leave, given that there was so much evidence of his presence?
