Chapter 139 Plentiful Harvest

Long Chen’s voice was very gentle as if he were just greeting an old friend . His bright smile was extremely sincere .

But in their eyes, that smile was even more terrifying than a vicious Magical Beast . Who could possibly ruthlessly beat people like this and then still speak so gently to them immediately after?

“Long Chen… you… don’t go overboard!” fearfully cried out the cross-eyed man .

“I never go overboard . I just want to have a conversation . I have my own secret problems . You can only blame yourselves for growing faces that were just asking for a beating . If I hadn’t beat you, I would have been afraid the heavens would strike me with lightning,” helplessly sighed Long Chen .

“You…”

“Well, let’s get to business . Continuing on from where I left off, I’m very happy you guys are here . On my own behalf, I warmly welcome you three with my heartfelt congratulations . ” Long Chen even clapped a couple times for them before continuing:

“I was lacking manpower, but your arrival totally fixes that problem! I just happened to need some people to help me make some fish cages .

“And two, Mr . Cross-eyed, I really must thank you for bringing me such a gift . I really must apologize for my previous crudeness . So I hope you won’t make me feel any more guilty about that beating . You understand, right?”

Long Chen extended his hand, his meaning obvious . If he didn’t hand over his life ring, Long Chen would have to be make himself feel even more guilty .

“Please, that’s my ancestor’s… ok, I’ll give it to you . ” The cross-eyed man had just been about to refuse when Long Chen began to shrug his shoulders and legs as a warm up . He immediately threw over his life ring .

“Hehe, ah, brother Zhao’s sincerity is really too much; I really can’t accept . Ah, well I guess I’m just becoming soft-hearted . No need to thank me,” Long Chen sighed as he took the life ring .

The cross-eyed man’s vision darkened as he became so dizzy with anger than he almost fainted . This person really was too shameless! Who would thank someone for robbing them?!

“Long Chen, you’re also from a powerful family . How can you be such a scoundrel? This is the conduct of a small person,” indignantly said one of them .

“No, I’m not from a powerful family . So being a small person is just in my nature . Being a scoundrel is my virtue, robbing is my profession, and beating up others would have to be my greatest hobby . ” Long Chen tried using his divine sense to enter the life ring .

The three of them turned green from rage at this shameless display . This completely toppled their understanding as n.o.ble disciples . Long Chen didn’t care the slightest bit of his status . That both infuriated and terrified them .

In just a couple breaths’ time, Long Chen broke through the life ring’s original spiritual imprint and managed to see what was inside .

What surprised Long Chen was that a life ring really wasn’t the same as a spatial ring . Instead of being a neat and square area, it was the shape of a sphere .

It had an area of around thirty meters . Inside were some small gardens . In the middle was also a small pond . Around it were a couple small shrubs and plants .

“Interesting . ” Long Chen took out his Immortal Chrysanthemum and placed it into the life ring . Using his Spiritual Strength, he dug out a small hole and planted it within .

Originally the Immortal Chrysanthemum, despite him leaving some of its original soil around its roots, would have died within three days in his spatial ring . That was because living things couldn’t be stored within a spatial ring . Even living plants could not be stored without them dying .

But at this time the Immortal Chrysanthemum had yet to die . Although planting it here wouldn’t allow it to continue growing, at least it wouldn’t die .

A living Immortal Chrysanthemum was much more useful than a dead one . That was because once a precious natural treasure died, a part of its essence would be lost just like that . That was something that could not be avoided .

But now with the life ring, this Immortal Chrysanthemum could live for longer . It was just unfortunate that this life ring’s quality was too inferior . Otherwise the Immortal Chrysanthemum could have continued to grow within the life ring .

“Due to this ring, I won’t steal your tiles . ” Long Chen nodded his head contentedly .

They relaxed when they heard that . But only the cross-eyed man was filled with pain .

Although he had no major use for that life ring, he had always acted as if it was some divine item . That was because such things were incredibly few in number and few people had ever possessed or even seen one .

No matter who he was with, as long as he showed off his life ring, he would immediately become the center of attention . With his bragging skills, he would speak of his ancestor’s glory .

Furthermore, because the life ring wasn’t that practical, it wouldn’t cause others to go rob him . And so it had never been s.n.a.t.c.hed away .

But now he had run into Long Chen . And it had just happened that Long Chen was in need of such a thing . That caused the cross-eyed man’s heart to bleed blood .

“Mr . Cross-eyed-”

“My surname is Zhao!” retorted the cross-eyed man .

“Brother Zhao Cross-eyed-”

“My name is Zhao Tianhao!”

Slap!

A ear-ringing slap landed on his face as Long Chen raged, “Now your name is Cross-eyes! If you dare interrupt again, I’ll throw you into the water to feed the fishes!”

The cross-eyed man glared at Long Chen but he didn’t dare open his mouth again . By now he was completely terrified of this shameless scoundrel .

With a wave of his hand, Long Chen suddenly covered the three of them with a white powder . The three of them were taken by surprise, but they didn’t sense anything immediately odd from the powder .
