Chapter 535 - Ever-Changing Situation (1/2)

After Bai Ruocang was done setting up the Vitality Sealing Formation, he glared hatefully at the devil in front of him, dressed in his ancestor’s skin. He had the urge to just bite him outright, but he was still rational, thus he repressed himself from acting impulsively, from avenging.

He knew that demons had many tricks up their sleeves, they were able to shift their souls and change their bodies. He did not want his hatred to make himself a fool who let the demon escape instead.

After checking the formation thrice, he left but turned to look back at every step he took.

Throughout the whole process, Cang Gongzi seemed to be in slumber, he did not utter a single word.

Perhaps he decided to avoid getting involved in this like an ostrich…

The moment Bai Ruocang wormed back to the office of the city being built, Dragon Carp leaped three feet high, and said arrogantly, “Where did you go this time? You’re always away from home. The construction period is very tight now, and I’m the only one watching over it, I don’t see you helping at all.”

Bai Ruocang suddenly became alert after being yelled at to his face. There was a problem that did not seem like a huge one but was, in fact, a very important one.

Although he had set up the Vitality Sealing Formation, his revenge was only half complete. He must not let that old demon escape at any time throughout the process, or all his previous efforts would be wasted.

In order to not let him escape, he had to quickly build the city, so that the vigilante would come for inspections regularly.

As for himself, he needed to cultivate as soon as possible, and must at least break through to Pond-level. By advancing all the way up, he would need to live for at least another two to three hundred years for the old demon to die from being drained.

The latter was the easier one. After all, he came from a family of cultivators, due to the influences from his surrounding, he had long built a solid cultivation foundation.

However, the former was a little tricky. He was still a nineteen-year-old youth with limited time, and he was already finding it hard to manage his cultivations, how could he have the ability to deal with construction work?

One should not be fooled by Cang Gongzi’s cowardly character, he was truly a young master of a renowned family in the upper realm. Since he had lived for hundreds of years, he was far more knowledgeable and experienced that Bai Ruocang was. After descending to this realm, he often took in the fruits of human culture as well.

All along, he was the one in charge of construction work in the city, whereas he only tagged along.

Now that he was falling out with him, and that Cang Gongzi had hidden like an ostrich, the outsiders would not bother about this, they only looked for him to bear all responsibility.

This was all because both of them shared the same body.

Given the current situation, it was natural for him to be unwilling to beg him for help.

Fortunately, he had once lived in a reputable family as well, so when Dragon Carp mentioned something like that, an idea sprung in his head.

He looked for a while then removed an anklet from one of his hind legs, and told Dragon Carp, “Brother Dragon Carp, I”m really sorry, you’ve worked hard for the past few days. I’ll gift this interspatial anklet to you as a token of appreciation, I’ll need to rely on you for many things in the future.”

“Uh…this, I feel abashed.” Though that was what Dragon Carp said, he still took the anklet away with its mouth as swift as the lightning, it was not concerned about the smell on it either.

There was nothing it could do, It wanted to use its hands too but it had not regained its magical powers, so it could not form them even if it wanted to…

After Dragon Carp acquired the interspatial anklet, it quickly kept its gold bars.

It said pretentiously, “Little Cang, look at you, why are you being so polite? We’re both serving the host, there’s no distinction between us, you don’t need to present me such a big gift.”

“Oh don’t be, it’s just a tiny gift. Senior Dragon Carp, you’re very well-informed, I’ll be seeking help from you in the future.”

“It’s my pleasure, do look for me if you need any help.” Dragon Carp rejoined generously.

Upon hearing that, Bai Ruocang felt more at peace.

From the way he looked at it, Dragon Carp had been around longer than Cang Gongzi, so he knew a lot. Regarding the city’s construction work, Dragon Carp indeed gave many suggestions, it was an expert in this.

As a matter of fact, he had no idea that if Dragon Carp could not portray itself like a professional in the city’s construction work, how could he be able to intimidate some people, and collected an enormous amount of gold…

…

A couple of days later, Bai Ruocang was caught up with familiarizing work related to the city construction, it could only watch over the Demon Suppression Monument occasionally.
