Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The appearance of this stone chest was a huge revelation for Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal . As for why it had been in the hands of the Shadow Stream killers, it actually wasn't hard to guess after careful consideration . After all, the stone ghost mask was something that opportunists scrambled madly for in a bid to obtain great power within a short time frame .
It wasn't just Mo Immortal Castle that was looking for it; dark forces were also carrying out their own investigations, which wasn't anything odd .
But the fact of the matter was that with the annihilation of Shadow Stream's headquarters, there was no opportunity for international killer organizations to rise up . This was also true of the dark forces within Huaxiu that had initially been stirring restlessly . The saying that guilt made cowards of people was really true . Through the Shadow Stream incident, these dark forces could clearly sense that in Huaxiu nation, there was an expert whom they were incapable of touching or detecting . . .
His mastery over spatial magic, the fluctuations of which even the space tower couldn't detect precisely, was really too abnormal .
Later, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal left with this mask chest . Wang Ling had never wanted to become involved in this matter since the beginning, so it was best to leave it to the other man . . . before the latter left, Grandfather Wang also praised him for the quality of the broccoli which he had planted .
Then, from the window on the second floor, Wang Ling saw this idiot bounce off with a face full of excitement as if the kindergarten teacher had awarded him a little red flower .
. . .
After leaving the villa, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal went to Midnight Dining Hall . Before midnight, the small, shabby shop was as wretchedly dilapidated and desolate as usual . Boss Tan was still doing the dishes inside . When he saw Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, his expression was blank for a bit before he lifted his eyes slightly . "Yo, come to have noodles again?"
Frankly speaking, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had felt that Boss Tan's beef noodles was nothing special . But today, he had come with a question again . Now that he was here, it wouldn't be nice to start asking without ordering anything .
Pondering for a while, he asked, "Are there any other dishes . . . ?"
"Ah . . . yes, there is . I learned a dish from my shifu recently called elk velvet antlers and pine jellyfish soup . Are you interested? It's made from imported ingredients, so it's a little expensive, but it definitely tastes better than when my shifu uses local ingredients for the soup," the boss replied after thinking for a moment .
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's expression was blank . "Er, aren't elk velvet antlers and pine jellyfish local ingredients?"
Boss Tan threw up his hands . "They used to be . . . but Aoxiu nation applied earlier on for these two soup ingredients to be declared cultural heritages . They're just as shameless as Nanhan nation, which claims that everything originated with them . "
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: "Then I'll order one . . . "
Anyway, if it wasn't good, he wouldn't pay for it!
"Go on then, why are you looking for me?" Boss Tan looked up at Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal .
First time strangers and second time friends; this routine of asking questions while ordering was something he was quite familiar with .
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal didn't beat around the bush; with a flash of spirit light, the mask chest dropped on the table with a "duang" sound . "This thing, boss, have you seen it before?"
Boss Tan didn't say anything and only lowered his head to concentrate on the ingredients in his hands . He chopped the elk velvet antlers into pieces and sliced the transparent pine jelly . After washing them in the colander and then putting them into an earthenware pot, he added some spice and then covered it with the pot lid . After doing all this, Boss Tan raised his head and stared at Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal . "Do you mind if I smoke?"
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal shook his head, but secretly used his spirit energy to control his nose hairs and modify them for filter mode . Nobody would expect that this Great Death-Courting Senior was someone who didn't smoke . Furthermore, he had developed this simple spell for controlling his nose hairs himself; it was an effective way of reducing the harmful effects of passive smoking .
Boss Tan took a drag on the cigarette . "The truth is that this chest was indeed made by one of my friends . "
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's eyes instantly sparkled — this was very important information!
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's eyes instantly sparkled — this was very important information!
Actually, Boss Tan had recently started feeling concerned about the stone ghost mask . Although he had chosen to live a secluded life, it was undeniable that the mask which he had originally made with that little girl was creating unpredictable waves in this world . The government and light forces were looking for these two masks to seal them, while the dark forces wanted to use the masks to become a power to be reckoned with .
"Back then, we spared no effort to make this thing . " Boss Tan sighed deeply . "Unfortunately, I have to tell you that the maker of this stone chest has passed away . "
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's eyes dimmed . Although he badly wanted to ask how that person had died, it would be a little abrupt and rude .
He had known that this Boss Tan's identity was definitely a complicated one; given the way his aura waxed and waned, he was very likely a great senior whose level he had no hope of matching . . .
Of course, this was all just speculation .
But Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had ineffable confidence in himself, since his sixth sense tended to be accurate!
Boss Tan fixed his eyes on the stone chest for a long time . It was clear that he didn't want to share the reason why his friend had passed away . He was silent for a while before he finally gave Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal a warning . "I suggest that you give up on following this lead . If you continue, whether it's you or your genius friend who can write songs, it'll go very badly for the both of you . This isn't something you can touch . "
He touched the knife scar on the right side of his face . "Do you see this knife scar . . . ?"
He touched the knife scar on the right side of his face . "Do you see this knife scar . . . ?"
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal frowned . "Judging from the wound, you were hurt by a magic weapon?"
"It's easy to join a sect, but it's hard to get out . Sometimes, if you sink too deep into the muddy water, it's difficult to pull yourself out," Boss Tan said . "I got this knife scar back when I left the sect . At that time, fighting had broken out, which was when I got this scar . . . "
Saying this, Boss Tan was heartbroken . "This injury was caused by a holy weapon . Given my realm at that time, even if my body was cured, there was no way to heal this knife scar . I've tried so many cosmetic beauty institutions over the years, but all in vain . When I think about back then . . . I was the sect male beauty, and there were so many sect female beauties who were waiting on me . I used to be an idol type! I earned a living with my face!"
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: " . . . "
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: "Was this scar a blade wound?"
"Oh, not really . "
Boss Tan shook his head like a rattle-drum . "When I was fleeing the sect, I accidentally tripped and fell, and my face was slashed by a knife that happened to be on the ground . . . "
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: " . . . "
