Chapter 1340: Chapter 35: Shou Zhe Delighted with the Acquisition of a [Dao-level Item] Chapter 1340: Chapter 35: Shou Zhe Delighted with the Acquisition of a [Dao-level Item] âŠ
âReally, truly?â
The Blood Spirit asked weakly.
âAbsolutely, absolutely,â Wang Zongchang, who was prying up floor tiles on the side, chimed in. âOur Wang family is a warm, big family. Once you move over, youâll get to experience what liveliness really means.â
âAs if you needed to say more, out of all these people, youâre the worst,â the Blood Spirit retorted angrily. âNot even sparing a single brick.â
âMy Fourth Uncle always said this is being eco-friendly,â Wang Zongchang, well into his years, naturally had thick skin. âEvery brick and tile from the Divine Martial Era is extraordinary, their kiln-craftsmanship is anything but common, itâs such a waste to bury them in water.â
Meanwhile, as they spoke, on the other side, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Luo Jing were also sorting through the Blood Venerateâs inheritance.
At this moment, the Sacred Gu Codex had no way out, feeling utterly unwilling, but seeing Luo Jingâs resolved will, it ultimately opened the [Secret Treasury of the Blood Venerate] inside the research lab.
It was a hidden Storage Space, similar in concept to a storage box, even more akin to Wang Shouzheâs Portable Space.
From the outside, it just looked like an ordinary wall, which required a specific method to activate before a slightly twisted spatial passage would appear.
The passage was dark and profound, where any light and energy, upon touching it, got instantly swallowed, making it impossible to see anything from outside.
Wang Shouzhe and Luo Jing stepped into the passage together and soon disappeared into the dark corridor.
The Sacred Gu Codex hurriedly flapped its wings and followed, with even Emperor Longchang shamelessly scuttling after them, ready to broaden his horizons.
Following closely behind Emperor Longchang was an unobtrusive old Yao.
The Wu Family of the Cold Moon from the Immortal Dynasty was also a formidable clan, whose ancestors had once excavated a True Immortal Ruins. In his early years when Emperor Longchang studied travel in the Immortal Dynasty, he had seen records of it at the Wu Family of the Cold Moon, and even paid his respects to the statue of the ancestor Wu Panpan, but he wasnât so lucky himself, never having encountered the Void Realm Ruins.
âShouzhe, I did contribute this time, you have to give me a share,â Emperor Longchang said somewhat excitedly.
âYour Majesty, all these are inheritances passed down to Luo Jing by her past-life Master,â Wang Shouzhe said leisurely. âYou, a Great Emperor, really have the face to ask for things from your junior? Besides, you only came to enjoy the bustle, what contribution did you make? Itâs Old Yao whoâs been wholeheartedly helping and taking care of the younger generation all the way, exploring the dungeon, really going through hardships.â
âHa ha~ Master overpraises me, this servant was just running errands as instructed by Madam Ruolan, doing some basic operations,â Old Yao said beaming with joy, âItâs not at all âhardships.'â
âYou stingy little brat! We should stop calling you Wang Shouzhe and instead call you Wang ShoucaiâŠâ Emperor Longchang, once again irritated, his eyebrows stood upright, âAlthough I didnât make a move, my very presence is a form of deterrence. Without me, would Jiang Qingsnow be so obedient? You should at least share a token with me, to let me pay off my gambling debt.â
Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, looking oddly at Emperor Longchang, âYou gambled again? How much do you owe this time!?â
âWell⊠it wasnât really gambling, just some family entertainment,â Emperor Longchang said awkwardly, rubbing his hands, âIâm short by a hundred and some thousand Immortal Crystals now, just half the price of a Divine Spiritual Treasure. I was about to make a comeback this time, I won quite a bit at midterm, itâs just the latter part⊠sigh! If only I knew when to quitâŠâ
âCould you few pay a bit more attention to the influence you have? There are so many young ones in the family, leave some positive and healthy images for the kids, set a good example, okay?â Wang Shouzhe was exasperated.
âWhat are you talking about? Iâm a semi-retired Great Emperor, and for Da Qianâs billions of subjects, Iâve been working hard for thousands of years. Whatâs wrong with playing mahjong in my old age?â Emperor Longchang, fuming with anger, his whiskers blowing.
âDonât worry, Master Shouzhe, the younger generation at home all use His Majesty as a negative example for study. Gambling is very harmful, and everyone takes it as a warning,â Old Yao added laughingly from the side, âBut His Majesty has a point. After all, heâs been hard at work all his life, itâs hard to find a hobby⊠And there arenât many years left to live, heâll soon be a former emperor, so let him be.â
âYou old thing⊠are you really my man?â Emperor Longchang almost popped his eyes out, âWhat exactly has Ruolan given you?â
âYour Majesty, I also served you my whole life,â Old Yao said, âNow that there arenât many years left to live, I need to earn more money for retirement, right?â
âYou old thing! Youâre implying Iâm brokeâŠâ
âEnough, enough, you two donât fight,â Wang Shouzhe, utterly helpless, stretched out his hand and pulled out a stack of Wang familyâs treasury cheques from the Storage Ring, stuffing them into Emperor Longchangâs arms, âYour Majesty, Iâll pay off this debt for you with my private funds.â
âShouzhe, you actually have a secret private fund?â Emperor Longchang immediately took the cheques with a beaming smile, giving Wang Shouzhe a knowing look, âDonât worry, given our father-son relationship, I wonât snitch to Ruolan.â
Thanks a bunch.
Wang Shouzhe was rather helpless with Emperor Longchang.
Mainly because he was shamelessly thick-skinned. When he heard the news, he insisted on sticking around to âhelp out,â helping to explore the Bloody Dawn Temple dungeon, all for the sake of a little gain, right?
After settling Emperor Longchang, the group had already reached the inside of the Secret Treasury.
