CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 30: VISIT FROM THE NETHERWORLD KING CLAN_2

Luo Wencheng stroked his beard and said with difficulty, "The Divine Son marrying this old woman might be quite a challenge."

Upon hearing Luo Kuisan’s words, Ming Huayu felt quite proud. However, as soon as Luo Wencheng spoke, Ming Huayu immediately felt uneasy.

I’m an Immortal! And this little brat thinks he can marry me? What a joke! Don’t be fooled by the Asura Divine Son’s high status; there have been instances of Divine Sons falling, even failing to break through to Immortality.

Chen Jiuge’s lips twitched. I just appreciate beautiful things, that’s all. I’m not some stud who pounces on everything he fancies. These two old geezers really have no sense of propriety.

Perhaps because of Luo Wencheng’s words, Ming Huayu’s expression turned somewhat frosty. She tossed over the details of the cooperation they had planned long ago, saying, "This is the general agreement our clan has settled with the Myriad Beasts Sect. The Myriad Beasts Sect demands a resource-rich territory; the rest of the resources will be ours."

"Take a look."

Chen Jiuge examined the agreement carefully and immediately instructed Mo Yu to come over through telepathic communication in his divine sea.

Mo Yu, who had already been arranged to be in a side hall of the palace, came quickly and took the cooperation document from Chen Jiuge’s hand.

Seeing Ming Huayu’s slightly furrowed brows, Chen Jiuge explained, "This is my Spiritual Beast. For matters like these, I usually let her decide."

Ming Huayu’s eyebrows relaxed as she said, "It’s your affair; there’s no need to explain."

Chen Jiuge smiled faintly. If it weren’t for the Myriad Beasts Sect, I would’ve let Luo Kuisan beat you up by now.

After a long while, Mo Yu put down the cooperation document and said, "Overall, it seems fair, but I think the specific resource distribution is somewhat unreasonable."

Ming Huayu showed her signature smile and asked, "What’s unreasonable?"

"The even split of the Law Crystals is fine, but not all of the surviving races can be handed over to you; we also need them. We need to discuss this point again."

"Is this your opinion, Divine Son?" Ming Huayu turned to look at Chen Jiuge.

"What Mo Yu says reflects my thoughts. I’m short on manpower as well, so I can do with a little less territory," Chen Jiuge supported.

Ming Huayu’s expression turned slightly grim. What good is territory if I have no people? Don’t Asura Divine Sons always prefer vast lands? Since when did they start gathering other races? Could it be they really intend to participate in this great chaotic war?

With countless thoughts flashing through her mind, Ming Huayu eventually did not say much more and tacitly agreed to the cooperation plan that would split all resources garnered from the war evenly.

"The agreement is reached. The Myriad Beasts Sect will set the specific timing for action; I am not clear on that."

"I was wondering if we could stay and enjoy the city for a few days? Rest assured, it will be just the two of us; no other clan members will enter the city," Ming Huayu said, sensing Chen Jiuge’s hesitation.

"Hahaha, why not? As long as you don’t cause trouble, Angle Shadow City welcomes anyone," Chen Jiuge laughed heartily.

Seeing the conversation was ending, Luo Wencheng pulled Luo Kuisan, about to leave.

As they were about to exit the great hall, Luo Kuisan paused, challenging Ming Yijie with a provocative glance, "We’re going for drinks. Dare to join us?"

That disdainful look, as if sizing up a woman, instantly infuriated Ming Yijie. He slammed the table and declared, "Who’s afraid of who!"

Chen Jiuge watched Ming Huayu smiling complacently in the great hall, and then waved to Mo Yu, saying, "Mo Yu, take Miss Ming Huayu to Yue Meng’s beauty shop to have a look."

Ming Huayu frowned and asked, "Can’t the Divine Son accompany me personally?"

Seeing Ming Huayu suddenly adopt a coquettish demeanor, Chen Jiuge shook his head. "My apologies, I’ve recently reached a critical juncture in my Cultivation and it’s inconvenient for me to go out."

With the conversation at this point, Ming Huayu naturally couldn’t insist and could only leave with Mo Yu, slightly disappointed.

Once they left, Chen Jiuge finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That was terrifying! Even as Immortals, they still resort to honey traps. The major clans of the Star Sea Realm really play dirty," he muttered.

Sigh, I already told them I was in seclusion. Looks like I’ll have to stay in the Qingmu Realm for the next few days.

「Seven days later」

Chen Jiuge, bored out of his mind, was cuddling his Second Senior Brother on a lounge chair, sipping juice through a straw. These were all Da Bai’s masterpieces.

The ultra-comfortable lounge chair was refined from various soft spiritual materials. It was guaranteed to massage and relax your physical body as you lay on it, making it your second bed. It ranked as a seventh-rank Magic Artifact.

The infinite straw could stretch and shrink at will. This allowed one to drink without using hands to insert it into a beverage—truly an essential life Magic Artifact for the lazy.

OINK OINK.

His Second Senior Brother, now as big as a small fragrant pig, let out a childish call. Chen Jiuge opened his eyes slightly, and the straw in his mouth unconsciously slipped out.

"How did you get here?"

Ming Huayu smiled and said, "Divine Son, weren’t you cultivating?"

Chen Jiuge gave an awkward smile and quickly pulled Yue Meng into a corner, asking, "What’s going on?"

Yue Meng looked perplexed. "Sister Huayu is a good friend of mine," she replied. "She got an Era Card at my beauty shop and deposited enough Spirit Stones for a hundred thousand years! I was just planning to tailor-make a Beauty Immortal Pill for her, wasn’t I?"

Chen Jiuge gave Ming Huayu a strange look, wondering to himself, Most people get annual cards, but you get a hundred-thousand-year Era Card. Are all Immortals this bored?

"I’m not here to see you. Yue Meng, my little sister, weren’t you going to tailor-make an Immortal Pill for me? Don’t waste any more time," Ming Huayu said; she was indeed not there for Chen Jiuge.

Women are very particular about their appearance; even Immortals are no exception.

"Okay, Sister Huayu, I’m on it."

Cuddling his Second Senior Brother on the lounge chair again, Chen Jiuge shook his head and said, "Strange things happen all the time, but they seem to happen a lot around my house."

As Ming Huayu left the small courtyard, she glanced back and remarked, "I didn’t expect your master to be the Asura’s Divine Son."

Ming Huayu hadn’t expected that the master of this endearing little girl was actually Chen Jiuge. It was quite a surprise.

Yue Meng said, puzzled, "Yes, he is. Didn’t I tell you?"

"You didn’t say. But outsiders have been saying that your shop is owned by the Divine Son."

"How could that be? My master is lazy to the bone; how could he possibly run a shop? He did open that bar, but hasn’t he just dumped it on War Song to manage now?" Yue Meng said, shaking her head repeatedly.

Speaking of the bar, this inevitably brought up Ming Yijie.

As members of the Netherworld King Clan, skilled in Divine Power Techniques, their physical bodies weren’t weak, but compared to an Asura, the difference was immense.

Ever since being provoked by Luo Kuisan seven days ago, Ming Yijie had begun his dazed life.

In the bar, one was not allowed to use any methods to dispel the effects of alcohol. Initially, Ming Yijie was somewhat apprehensive. However, after drinking beer and red wine, which were of ordinary strength, he began to feel more at ease.

Who would have thought Luo Kuisan would switch the drinks midway to high-strength liquor? They were already deep into the contest, so naturally, there was no backing out, especially with so many people watching.

And so, Ming Yijie sobered up only to get drunk again, then woke up only to drink more. He spent seven days in the bar, completely befuddled, drinking continuously.
