Chapter - 3 The Pure Heavenly Crystal

The former owner of this body was a real weirdo, and so was his friend… Look at this fellow with an indisciplined personality, wearing a thick hat on a sweltering day, actually considering himself romantic with an immensely proud attitude…

“Come on let’s go! Last night before I left, I put some drugs into Zuo Wu-Ji’s drink. I have to check on him in any case.” Lan Lang-Lang laughed loudly with a grimace, “That bastard has always been opposing us. He’s too rebarbative really. After he lost the jade ruyi [1] of his father, he had been put under house arrest for like centuries. He has been released recently and I will never let this chance slip by…”

“I am not going… Wait. There is the possibility…” As Ye Xiao was worried about the poison being difficult to eradicate, how could he be interested in hanging out with this guy. Then he cheered up. In his memory, this Zuo Wu-Ji was one of of his disreputable friends that was drinking with him the night before, so he could be the guy who had poisoned him.

This Zuo Wu-Ji, as far as he could remember, was also a weirdo. Although he was called ‘one of the three lords‘ in town alongside Ye Xiao and Lan Lang-Lang, he always opposed the other two, fighting against them every time they met. It was hard for them to make peace.

‘The three lords in town’, was of course a derogatory term.

There was a even a doggerel created describing them:

If anyone from the Qing-Yun Realm saw this situation, they would certainly pass out with heartburn. And if said person had a short temper, it would be a very easy decision for him to kill every resident in the city and burn everything down.

Take our Xiao Monarch for example, he was frozen solid after witnessing such a colossal waste.

It was like a pie that suddenly fell from the sky into the hands of a starving man.

He needed to consider his actions which would enable him to take a bite. He didn’t need to be greedy, just one bite will do…

There must be something over the surface of the The Pure Heavenly Crystal, covering its true exterior.

And, according to where it was placed… they truly seemed to treat it as something trivial…

“Only if they can give it to me… no, not necessarily give the whole piece to me… just only one bite, even if I just scrape a bit powder for myself, it will be enough to cure me and be the bedrock of my super power, at once!” Ye Xiao murmured, while being completely thrilled.

What a treasure!

It was good to be the son of a privileged government official.

But what should he do to get this thing?

Such a challenge!

Sensing the high security in the House of the Minister, Ye Xiao was agitated… His body was as weak as a drugster, so either stealing or robbing… was not a possible option for him.

“Ye Xiao!” Lan Lang-Lang and Zuo Wu-Ji were yelling at him, “What are you smirking for, you fool? What beauties are you imagining?”

No wonder they were astonished.

They had quarreled fiercely for quite a while. They even had spit a bit when they quarreled and had become really thirsty. And when they turned around, they found Ye Xiao was smirking, daydreaming and even drooling…

“What’s wrong with him?” Lan Lang-Lang and Zuo Wu-Ji both felt weird, “Why is he suddenly smiling with a goatish look…”

“Wake up dude!” Zuo Wu-Ji waved his hand in front of Ye Xiao’s eyes.

“WHAT?” Ye Xiao settled back, annoyed.

“Come on my dear Lord Ye, this is my house…” Zuo Wu-Ji, looking at the ‘fool’, eccentrically said, “What the hell are you planning? Do me a favor all right? Don’t make the satyr-like look again. We don’t have any women here!”

“Well, there are still guys. I think Lord Ye might be interested…” Lan Lang-Lang laughed wretchedly, eyes rolling around. What he said just now had drawn the fury of Zuo Wu-Ji.

Ye Xiao also scolded him while rolling his eyes. Suddenly, he came up with an idea.

“Oh hey, Zuo Wu-Ji, I heard that you had sold the jade ruyi recently. Is it true?” Ye Xiao asked, blinking.

“Shit…” Zuo Wu-Ji rushed forward and covered his mouth tightly, with a panic stricken face, spoke with a low voice, “Damn you! Fxxk you dude! How dare you talk about this thing… How could I know it was worth that much? I was really out of money that day and I just took whatever was nearby to get some. Then I was enjoying it with a bunch of people for days… I didn’t know it was my dad’s treasure and was for some medical use until I got home a few days later… Come on man I have been through a rough time for it… The whole family treated me like a sandbag… Don’t even mention it man, please. It will get me killed…”

“Hmm… hmm…” Ye Xiao’s mouth was covered. He struggled quite hard to free himself. He planned something in his mind and said, “It was said that there will be an auction in Ling-Bao Hall the day after tomorrow, and… there will be a jade ruyi in the auctions… hah, it even looks just like your father’s, no, it’s of even better quality…”

“Yes! Yes! There will be one.” Lan Lang-Lang nodded unceasingly, “In the auction the day after tomorrow. I will be there, to enrich my experience.”
