Chapter 45 – I am Hot-blooded!Translated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
In the contest for the mayoral position between the Bai and Yang family, the Yang Family had only gotten the one energy core from the Scarlet Tailed Fox and it had granted them victory. To the whole of Poplar Town, this was a piece of hot news that was fervently discussed during meals.
Everyone felt as if they were in a dream.
“If my family’s youths had been granted the opportunity to enter this demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion and successfully dodged the youths from the Bai and Yang Family, then our family might even be holding the mayoral rights now.”
Many people thought that way.
Although they had already known the results, the Bai Family members’ faces still turned ashen when Lord Lang announced the results for the right to the mayoral position.
Bai Sheng did not say another word and left the stage to join his group of Bai Family members, coldly looking at Founder Yang who was standing in front of Lord Lang.
At this point Lord Lang’s crisp voice sounded: “The Yang Family has now obtained the mayoral rights, and hence hold the governmental role in Poplar Town. Yang Cangqiong will be the first mayor of Poplar Town. Poplar Town is a town governed by my Lingwu Family, and the mayoral position represents the authority of the Lingwu Family. If any of you were to challenge the authority of the mayor, it would be akin to challenging the honour of my Lingwu Family!”
With the protection of the Lingwu Family, Founder Yang could be considered the overlord in Poplar Town right now.
Although he wore a cloak, the frosty look in Lord Lang’s eyes still sent shivers down Bai Sheng and the others’ spines. They knew that Lord Lang’s words were more or less directed at them.
“Giving me a warning, huh, but if my Bai Family was to have 3 members in the Deity Dan Realm, wouldn’t these mayoral rights just become meaningless? Also, if I were to kill Yang Cangqiong, would the Lingwu Family even remember this small place called Poplar Town?”
“Oh well, you guys already know about the Soul Diffusion Fruit, so let’s just have a battle for it. If you were to die in Big Barren Mountain, how would the Lingwu Family know that we were the ones who committed the deed?”
Thinking this, Bai Sheng eyes revealed a vicious expression and Bai Li, who was standing beside him, also revealed a smiling face which harboured evil intentions towards Founder Yang.
At this point, Lord Lang took a dark yellow coloured cloth pouch, which actually had a blood red coloured seal engraved on it and a mysterious spirit energy emitting from it.
Seeing this strange pouch, both Bai Li and Bai Sheng’s pupils contracted, and the others too let a coveting expression.
“It’s actually a cosmos pouch!”
Yang Qingxuan, who was beside Long Chen, also let out an excited gaze and seeing Long Chen’s skeptical look, he then said: “The cosmos pouch has a magical effect and can contain things, don’t belittle this small pouch. The s.p.a.ce inside is probably as big as a pavilion, it is a cultivator’s necessity when they travel! This cosmos pouch, can more or less fit in all the valuables of our Yang Family inside.”
After hearing Yang Qingxuan words, Long Chen had then finally remembered that there was such an object like this.
Indeed, if one were to travel outside while carrying so many valuables, it would definitely be more convenient with the cosmos pouch. Long Chen recalled how much of a ha.s.sle it was when he had to carry the 500 spirit jades on him that time.
At this point, all of the gazes were coveting the cosmos pouch. Lord Lang continued announcing: “The Yang Family has become the government in this town, and this is all conferred by my Lingwu Family. If the Yang Family are able to bring forth some achievements and manage the mayoral position well, the Lingwu Family may have more to confer!”
The Lingwu Family’s rewards will naturally not be petty, and although many people have already acknowledged that the Yang Family should hold the mayoral rights in Poplar Town, they were still rather envious of the Lingwu Family’s conferment, especially the Bai Family members. After seeing that what originally should have been theirs land into Founder Yang hands, the armrest of the chair Bai Sheng was sitting on was crushed into pieces.
Right now, the t.i.tle has been conferred and rewards have been given. Lord Lang then said to Founder Yang: “If you work to your utmost, there will definitely be reciprocation! I will return to this Poplar Town at a later date.”
Seeing that Lord Lang was about to leave, Founder Yang hurriedly said: “I bid you farewell, Lord Lang!”
However, he never thought Lord Lang would turn his vision towards Long Chen and then say: “You follow me.”
Long Chen was stumped. He then followed Lord Lang behind the plaza and into a small alley. Over ten thousand people looked blankly at Long Chen as he followed Lord Lang, not knowing what Lord Lang had in mind.
“Could it be that Lord Lang wants to bring him back to Yuanling City to nurture him after seeing his innate talent?”
This possibility was what everyone had on their minds.
Even Founder Yang had this thought right now. But deep in his heart, he would be extremely happy if Long Chen was able to receive better nurture.
As for Bai Sheng and Bai Li, they both looked at each other and furrowed their brows.
“Second Brother, do you think Lord Lang wants to bring him along?”
Bai Li smirked and then said sarcastically: “You are thinking too much, he is merely at the seventh level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. In Yuanling City, that is only considered trash, At his age, there are already a ton of cultivators at the late phase of the Dragon Pulse Realm, and Lord Lang is a super genius in the Lingwu Family. That runt only has the role of a clown in his eyes.
Only after hearing Bai Li’s words, did Bai Sheng heave a sigh of relief. However, when he recalled that the rewards were conferred to Founder Yang and that Yang Cangqiong became the mayor of Poplar Town, he was extremely unwilling to accept it.
Because Lord Lang did not say he was leaving yet, these ten thousand people did not dare to leave, and so they waited anxiously.
Lord Lang only took off his cloak after walking into the alley, revealing a face with beautiful features. And after removing his cloak, the stern and cold demeanour had instantly vanished, and what replaced it was a childish aura.
This change was a little too abrupt, and Long Chen could barely react. His thoughts were rather obscene, and since he considered himself to be slightly familiar with Lord Lang, he did not make do with any formalities, smiling and asking: “Why did Lord Lang look for me? Could it be that you have fallen for me?”
Lord Lang’s expression suddenly turned to stone. After a while, he then smiled bitterly: “Do you always speak so disrespectfully all the time? Don’t call me Lord Lang, after listening to you guys calling me this the past few days, I feel extremely uncomfortable. I am called Mo Xiaolang. You can just call me Xiaolang.”
