Chapter 384: Blackmailing the Heavenly Stellar City Lord (Part 1)
Returning to Heavenly Stellar City, Ye Tian Xie impatiently rushed over to the Heavenly Stellar City Lord Palace.
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord Palace.
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord had always been a fan of literature, reading in large amounts whenever he had free time. He increased his knowledge of the Lost Continent’s history and also molded his own character. At this time, he was currently leaned back in his chair with a book that had a colourful title page in his hands…..He had a concentrated expression on his face as he was lost in the sea inside these books.
There were a pile of books by his hand waiting to be studied. Looking at it there was «Guan Yu versus the gourd dolls», «The old man and the teacher’s must tell story», «The nun and the daoist’s stories», «280 positions and in depth analysis», «The world moving, Xi Men Qing», «A generation’s fierce woman, Pan Jin Lian»…..
With the special toke in hand, Ye Tian Xie was not stopped and directly came in. When he walked in, he looked at the Heavenly Stellar City Lord and shouted, “Sir City Lord…..Oh, are you studying?”
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord was focused on his book and did not notice anyone coming in. Hearing this voice, his body trembled and he almost fell off his chair. He quickly stood up and found something to cover the books on the table in a panic. He said to Ye Tian Xie with a serious expression on his face, “Ke, ke! The great Gao Er Ji said that reading is the human’s method of progression. Reading many books will not only increase your knowledge, it will also enrichen your mind, and will purify your spirit and soul……I was reading some profound books and there were certain things I didn’t understand. Ke, ke…..Brat, what did you come see me today for. That’s right, how’s it going with that Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder I wanted you to find last time? Thinking about it, about half of the time has already passed. Have you already come here to give up?”
“Give up? Why would I give up? Ye Tian Xie looked at him and said.
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord looked at him before taking out something that seemed like it was accidentally buried by the books. After ensuring the pile of book was still properly covered, he waved his hand and said, “Young man, come over here first.”
Ye Tian Xie tapped his nose as he walked over.
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord sat down in his chair. He first let out a sigh like he seemed to be regretting something before slowly saying, “Young man, you are a talent that appears once every hundred years. The things you have done are already enough to shake the world and you have wiped out two laten disaster for my Heavenly Stellar City. You are the most outstanding young person I have ever seen, so I have some things I must tell you.”
“What do you want to tell me?” Ye Tian Xie’s eyes filled with confusion. Seeing the Heavenly Stellar City Lord’s serious tone, long sigh, and vague expression…..It seemed like he was about to say his last words.
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord said with a deep heart, “You are very powerful now and would easily win against your peers, but your potential is very hard to estimate…..However, even if you are much stronger than your peers, there are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons on the Lost Continent. There are many people that are stronger than you, so you mustn’t think of yourself too highly, become too arrogant, and complacent. You can’t look down on everyone else in the world because of your constant success, understand?”
“This….Sir City Lord, you are indeed correct, but you telling me all of this…..”
“It’s good that you know. This means that you are not a person who loses himself in his arrogance, that way I can be assured.” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord said in a relaxed voice. His expression became serious as he continued to say, “The other thing is to learn what you can do and not to grit your teeth to do something that is impossible. That will not make others look up to you, but rather look down on you, allowing others to say you are overestimating yourself…..Ai, young man, you really are too young.”
“…..Ke, ke.” Ye Tian Xie fake coughed twice and said, “Sir City Lord’s words are truly great, truly worthy of a person who reads “profound” books, but what is the meaning fo you tell me all this today?”
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord looked at him and snappily said, “If you really understand, would you still be asking me what it all means? I had you look for the Undying Monster Dragon Gallbladder last time…..You clearly knew it was in the Tower of Destiny and it’s strong enough that you’re not a match for it, but you still accepted it. Even now you’re still not giving up! Hu…..” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord let out a long breath. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it, forget it. I gave you this quest because it was a reminded to you that there are many things in this world you can’t do even with your strength. I hope that you can restrain your arrogance and face your true heart……But it seems like with your personality, you won’t give up until you see the yellow springs. A man should be proud to his bones, but he should never be arrogant!”
Ye Tian Xie: “……”
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord’s long speech made Ye Tian Xie twist on his inside.
He worked hard to say that this quest for the Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder was just a lesson to him…..But the premise for this lesson was that he believed that it was impossible for him to retrieve the Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder. If he were to take it out now, wouldn’t he be wounding this middle aged uncle’s pride?
How could he do that……
Ye Tian Xie came forward and patted the Heavenly Stellar City Lord’s shoulder like an elder as he said, “Sir City Lord, don’t be too excited…..That Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder you wanted me to get before, does it look like this?”
A grey and green dragon gallbladder the size of a ball was taken out by Ye Tian Xie and placed on the table. The Heavenly Stellar City Lord looked at it casually and snorted, “This brat really is too arrogant, he can’t afford to lose….He actually took this entire gallbladder to convince me.” But immediately, his body shuddered as he quickly jumped out of his chair, looking at the dragon gallbladder with his old eyes.
After a while, he said with an incredibly difficult voice, “This is…..This is the Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder.” He looked up and used a pair of incomparably shocked eyes to look at Ye Tian Xie, “You……”
“You……” He could not say another word after this first word. He was completely caught off guard.
“Ke, ke!” This time Ye Tian Xie’s expression became serious. He pushed the Heavenly Stellar City Lord back into his chair and locked gazes as he said, “Sir City Lord, you are an outstanding city lord. You are above the other city lords and it is hard to estimate your potential…..However, even if you are considered strong among city lords, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons on the Lost Continent. There are many people that are stronger than you, so there is something I have to tell you…..Ai! The heavenly cycle and the changing fate, anything can happen in this world and any quest given has the possibility of succeeding. One should never assume that one has perfectly understood someone and one should never assume that something will not happen. Sometimes even the recognized truth could be false……Hu, sir City Lord, you are still too young after all…..Eh, ke, ke, pretend I didn’t say that last line.”
The “lesson” the Heavenly Stellar City Lord had given Ye Tian Xie had been returned to him by Ye Tian Xie word for word. His face turned livid, before turning red, white, and then green……
The most direct feeling was……He had lost all of his old face.
He had worked hard to lecture for so long…..
He actually dared to say all that!
He actually brought the Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder.
Then what he said before…..Was he just saying that for himself?
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord was silent for a while, not saying a single word. There was an indescribable anger in his stomach that was called being aggrieved. Being taught a lesson by Ye Tian Xie like this, he could not say a single word in rebuttal. Ye Tian Xie’s lesson was based on the current facts. As for his lesson to Ye Tian Xie…..Damn, his facts had been immediately overturned.
The Heavenly Stellar City suppressed the impulse to slap himself in the face. He looked up and forced himself to reveal a calm expression as he said, “This is indeed the Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder……How did you obtain it?”
“Of course I killed it and obtained it.”
“You went into the Tower of Destiny? This Undying Monster Dragon, I personally saw it being sealed in the Tower of Destiny!” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord stared at him and said.
“That’s right, of course I entered the Tower of Destiny and killed it.” Ye Tian Xie revealed an “isn’t this obvious” look.
“……” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord was completely speechless.
Ye Tian Xie raised a brow and did not continue attacking him as he said, “Sir City Lord, I have already brought the item you wanted…..Speaking of this, why did you want this dragon gallbladder? Since you needed this dragon gallbladder, why did you seal it in the Tower of Destiny?”
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord’s eyes never left Ye Tian Xie’s face. He was silent for a while before finally asking, “First tell me, how did you enter the Tower of Destiny? With your strength, they would never let you go in.”
“This…..is a secret.” Ye Tian Xie said with a faint smile.
“Alright.” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord did not keep asking. He grabbed the Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder with his hand and said, “I do indeed need this dragon gallbladder very much. In the past, when the Undying Monster Dragon appeared in the swamp to the north of my Heavenly Stellar City, it gave quite a bit of trouble to my Heavenly Stellar City. My wife and daughter came under the effect of the Undying Monster Dragon’s death aura, but I only noticed after the Undying Monster Dragon was sealed inside the Tower of Destiny…..Even now it still affects them. Later on, Kong Xiu told me that because we noticed too late, the death aura had already entered their bones, so it was difficult to eliminate it with outside power. To cure it, we had to use this Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder……”
The Heavenly Stellar City Lord hugged the Undying Monster Dragon’s Gallbladder and excitedly said, “I thought it would be impossible for me to see the Undying Monster Dragon again in my lifetime, but I never thought that its dragon gallbladder would appear in front of me…..My wife and daughter finally no longer to need suffer from the pain of the death poison, this is too great…..Young man, no matter what, I really don’t know how to thank you. First wait a minute, I’ll have him use this as a medicine and I’ll be back immediately.”
“Ai, ai!” Ye Tian Xie walked to the side to block the Heavenly Stellar City Lord and took back the Undying Monster Dragon Gallbladder before putting it back in his inventory, “Sir City Lord…..As for the matter of the reward……That Execution Celestial Emperor’s Royal Bow we talked about…..”
