Chapter 1099: Chapter 501 Shen Ye’s Counterattack

When Shen Ye and Xie Lan entered the room, they immediately saw the dinner laid out on the table.

A beef hotpot sizzling over charcoal.

A stir-fried pork intestine dish, and scrambled eggs with chives.

Also spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and quail eggs cooked with pork belly.

“Care for a drink?”

Uncle Qi opened a bottle of white liquor, filled three glasses, then took out his phone to take a picture with Xie Lan.

“I didn’t expect to have dinner with the Movie Emperor, it’s truly an honor.”

After the picture, Uncle Qi laughed, eyes narrowed, and started editing the photo.

Xie Lan quickly said:

“Not at all, you’re the big shot from the Void, it should be my honor.”

“The Void is the Void, here is here, it’s different.” Uncle Qi laughed.

“Can’t just eat your meal for free—I brought a little something for you, hope you like it.”

Xie Lan placed a gold toad ornament holding a copper coin on the table.

“Wealth from all directions?” Uncle Qi asked.

“Uncle Qi, this is pure gold.” Shen Ye said from the side.

Uncle Qi’s smile grew even wider.

He took the toad ornament, fiddled with it in his hand, and a layer of majestic white light surged from his body.

The white light lasted only a moment, then wholly sank into Uncle Qi’s body.

“Gold is the most proper sacrifice; it’ll help me recover faster—you’re thoughtful.”

“If you like it, I’ll sacrifice more in the future.” Xie Lan said.

“Thanks a lot, also, could you sign your name, I’ll go find that cultural shirt.” Uncle Qi got up to fetch the shirt.

Xie Lan carefully signed his name.

Took another picture together.

“There’ll be plenty of time for photos later, hungry, let’s eat.” Shen Ye said, rubbing his stomach.

“Alright, let’s drink together first, and then you can taste my cooking.” Uncle Qi said.

The three of them clinked glasses.

Shen Ye used to be a teenager, never touched alcohol.

Now back as a young man, with one sip, countless memories flooded his mind.

Not to mention—

“I’ll wash my hands, you guys start eating.” he stood up and said.

“How are you progressing?” Uncle Qi continued pouring wine, casually asked.

Shen Ye walked towards the bathroom, saying:

“Originally planned to continue exploring, but haven’t rested in too long, a bit tired—and I need to think about my next strategy, so I came back first.”

He left the living room.

The sound of the Water Dragon tap soon echoed in the bathroom.

Seizing the moment while washing hands, Shen Ye opened his phone, logged into the bank, and entered the password.

A line of information appeared on the phone screen:

“Your available balance is: 1,000,001 yuan.”

One million.

Shen Ye steadied himself.

On real Earth, this was.

He could buy the latest, trendiest sneakers!

Eat at the top-floor restaurant in the mall!

In-game, spend lavishly!

Shen Ye suddenly slapped himself, whispering:

“No ambition…”

“Why are you slapping yourself?” the Parasitic Empress asked curiously.

“Just a million and I start daydreaming—after all, this is the real world, I’ve never had this much money in reality.” Shen Ye transmitted his self-mocking words.

“With your talent, making money should be easy.” said the Parasitic Empress.

“I was just thinking casually, now I have more important things to do.” Shen Ye shook his head.

“By the way, what about the Chaos Ship?” the Parasitic Empress asked again.

“I left it over at the ‘Barrier'”

“Left? Do you think it’ll agree with that excuse?”

“Whatever it thinks, I’m the only one who can cross the ‘Barrier’ anyway—it’s to prevent it from realizing you’re still alive.” Shen Ye said.

“Hmph…lucky for it.” said the Parasitic Empress.

“What did you do?” Shen Ye asked.

“When it used the ram to sneak attack me, I controlled a critically important piece inside its hull—that piece should be destroyed now.”

“I want to take its life while it’s down.” said the Parasitic Empress filled with killing intention.

“Fighting outside the Eternal Brain will trigger real Destruction Tribulation, everyone will get wiped out.” Shen Ye advised.

“Bring it back.” the Parasitic Empress commanded.

“Have a match on Earth? Sis, I beg of you, let’s kill it when we have a chance in the future, just let Earth continue existing, okay?” Shen Ye pleaded.

“For your sake, but remember, when it’s time to kill, I will handle it.”

said the Parasitic Empress.

“Alright.” Shen Ye agreed.

In the living room.

Xie Lan picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks, finished eating, then took a sip of white liquor, and praised:

“This dish is really good, I need to have two more bowls of rice.”

“Tired today?” Uncle Qi asked him.

“I haven’t done anything.” Xie Lan said casually.

“Ha, doing nothing indeed was your wise choice.” Uncle Qi said.

“That can be considered wise?” Xie Lan asked curiously.

“From the Combat Ability perspective, you’re currently useless; improving your strength is paramount—you’re quite wise.” Uncle Qi raised his glass.

Xie Lan followed suit, murmuring softly:

“Is that a compliment or criticism…”

Shen Ye returned at this point, sat back down, ate a few bites of food, and clinked glasses with Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi put down the wine glass, laughed:

“Busy today?”

Shen Ye slapped his forehead, stood up, went to the bathroom again.

“He’s truly busy.” Xie Lan watched Shen Ye’s back, said thoughtfully.

“Better busy, the current situation isn’t great, if he gives up, I think we’d all die.” Uncle Qi said.

Xie Lan was silent for a few breaths, suddenly took the bottle, poured full for Uncle Qi, then respectfully said:

“Uncle Qi, can I follow you in training?”

“What’s up? Your Yaksha Skill is quite interesting, the heritage is long-lasting, why mess with my old self?” Uncle Qi asked.

“The Yaksha heritage I got from the Truth Void is actually only a part held by humans.”
