Chapter 56 – A Generous Gift (2/2)

*Clatter* Two beer glasses fell on the table, splashing onto Liu Hao and Nuo Hu. The three girls showed a confused expression while Liu Hao and Nuo Hu had no reaction afterwards, their eyes about to pop out of their heads.

A short while later, Liu Hao asked while stammering, “ma… master, you… you aren’t joking with me right?”

“Right, little Yu, you cannot joke around with this. This item is something that all cultivators in Tenglong dream of having, how can you say that you don’t need it?” Nuo Hu had to forcefully swallow the lamb meat before asking.

“It’s a secret.” Lei Yu smiled, drank a mouthful of beer and then said: “Anyway, this thing is not much use to me so how about this, since you and Liu Hao both like it so much, then you guys take turn using it.”

“Master!” Liu Hao forcefully sniffed in his snot, “my admiration for you is like the Yangtze River…”

“Enough, enough! Don’t make my hair stand on end, it’s decided then.”

Liu Hao and Nuo Hu’s excitement made them reach for their glass of beer, even their hands were constantly shaking, thus toasting Lei Yu and draining their glass.

Such a bead in the eyes of ordinary people were similar to a decoration, but for cultivators, it was a priceless treasure. Able to purify the energy in their air for their absorption, this was equal to taking a shortcut. You don’t need to waste your own internal energy to do this time-consuming and labor-intensive work, so how can Liu Hao and Nuo Hu not feel excited about it?

But this thing for Lei Yu was really not much use, the Spiritual Energy Bead could only attain a basic purification level, still requiring one’s body to remove some the remaining small amount of impurities. As for the Spiritual Bead of Longevity inside his brain, it could easily purify all the impurities before it entered his body. Just this one effect of the Longevity Bead exceeded the ability of the Spiritual Energy Bead.

This group of people were happily enjoying their food and drinks, the most invigorated being Liu Hao and Nuo Hu. As for the three beautiful women, though they did not know what the guys were talking about, but at least they knew that Lei Yu gave them something precious causing the two to be so excited.

“It’s getting late, it’s past midnight already.” Lei Yu stretched his neck, “it’s time for me to go home and cultivate.”

They paid their bill and began to leave. The boss was generous like before, giving them a 20% discount. This group of people weren’t ordinary people so the boss wanted to curry their favor so they would return again.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you home.” Nuo Hu patted Lei Yu’s shoulder.

“No need, you go home with Ai Er, I’m going to walk.” Laughed Lei Yu.

“It’s so late already, don’t go off for a one man tour, just come with us.”

“It’s fine, I haven’t exercised at all due to this past three months spent in the hospital. I will feel more comfortable moving around a bit. So just go home first, when you get home, give me a call.” The last sentence was said to Ai Er.

“Fine, then be careful. This place is pretty far from your home, if you don’t feel like walking anymore, get a taxi to go home, don’t stay out too late, okay?” Ai Er said this with concern out of love. In reality, Ai Er was not worried Lei Yu would encounter any danger, rest assured that such a powerful man could take care of himself.

“Then we’re leaving first!” Liu Hao, Cui Ying Ying, and Fang Yi Ke those three were the first to leave. Lei Yu walked in the direction those three left in, while Nuo Hu and Ai Er drove away in the opposite direction.

Lei Yu looked up to the sky and didn’t see any stars. He noticed the street had become empty, only a few night market stalls still had some customers left sitting there.

“Enemies, my enemies, I must become stronger!” There was nothing in Lei Yu’s mind except for these two things. He wanted to know who his enemy was. Until now, the death of his grandfather was still a mystery, and the only way to solve this mystery was to become stronger.

As he was walking, his mind was constantly thinking about all his past memories: there were bitterness; there were resentment; but there were also happy events. But all of these were in the past, the most important thing was to look towards the future.

Walking for about half an hour, he walked by a small dark alley. Lei Yu suddenly heard some screaming noise and some shouts. Narrowing his eyes, he peered inside.

“Agh! Go away! I’m begging you, let me go!” A girl’s voice was screaming hysterically, and the next thing you could hear was a man’s excited laughter.
