Chapter 861 - Black Pot (1/2)

A river laid beyond the grasslands.

Silvery fish glided through the flowing river, each one lively and vibrant, leaping out of the water occassionally, their motions as alluring as they were tantalizing to the eye.

“I’ve sinned, how could such erring thoughts cross the mind of a person who has mastered the True Bodhi Tactic as I?” Fang Ning sighed and shook his head.

Ignoring his pretentiousness, Sir System walked into the river, and all the silvery fish vanished just like that.

“I see that you’re not going to be satisfied until you’ve cleared this entire place out!” Fang Ning exclaimed, almost with a hint of admiration.

“It’s a shame that I won’t be able to do so even if I wanted to, this place is disappearing quickly, looks like the Culinary God’s powers is so limited that he can’t even create a long-lasting grotto-heaven bequeathal.” Sir System lamented.

“I apologize if I’ve disappointed you with my paltry powers…”

“Who’s there?” Fang Ning called out, startled by the sudden voice.

All his conversations with Sir System had happened within the realms of the System Space.

“Stop looking around, the guy’s in the blacksmith’s forge.”

“Huh? What’s going on?” Fang Ning asked confusedly as he ran into the mentioned location.

Upon entering the scene, he immediately realized what was going on.

A black iron pot was lying on the floor of the blacksmith’s forge…

“You don’t have to keep staring, this is where I’ve been residing all this time. Sigh, fate is indeed unpredictable, the bequeathal has just begun, but I’ve fallen into this mysterious realm, and here I thought this place would be a safe haven.” Black Pot made a helpless sound.

Fang Ning was in shock and surprise, did this mean that the bequeathal was already half-way in their bag?

He was still somewhat hesitant, however, seeing as the other was still a God, no matter how much power it has lost, his knowledge, experience, and wisdom were all still there.

“I apologize, Culinary God, by mistakenly bringing you here, but please do make yourself at home as much as you can. This place may not be suited for humans, but it’s perfect for souls.”

“Why are you being so courteous with him? What sort of things can you offer, Culinary God? Hurry up and them over…” Sir System demanded unabashedly, “By the way, this isn’t a robbery. I’m just collecting rent, you have to pay rent if you’re going to stay here.”

“So this person is also a tenant here?” Black Pot asked with its handle pointed towards Fang Ning.

“Of course he is, he’s running errands and chores for me in exchange for his stay, otherwise he’ll find himself locked up in the other side, and you don’t want to know what that place’s like.” Sir System said threateningly.

Fang Ning had no words but he could not refute Sir System’s words either, he could only nod along.

“I see, this place is indeed a wonderful place, if there existed such a place in the Upper Realm, perhaps the inexorable destruction could be avoided, such a shame.” Black Pot sighed.

“Well since you understand how good this place is, the rent won’t be cheap either, now don’t dilly dally and pay up.” Sir System urged him.

Obviously, Black Pot could not be as easily deceived as the lesser beings like the green-skinned frog, he was a god who had lived beyond 10,000 years after all.

Of course, age did not necessarily guarantee wisdom either, tortoises were one of such examples.

It also depended on their physiology and their adaptability.

Clearly, Black Pot qualified for both.

Thus, instead of paying immediately, Black Pot unhurriedly said, “Since I’m paying rent, I should at least be provided with a proper house, this place is filled with smoke and fire like a blacksmith’s forge room, it doesn’t look like a place meant to be lived in at all.”

“Damn it, you’re a cunning old pot aren’t you, to be able to make reconstruct this place, you’re the second one.” Sir System huffed annoyedly.
