Touba Ye made a face at Hei’s head peeking out of the stone house.

“How did Flood Dragon Hei get in here? The tomb’s entrance is all the way in Cloud Province’s Bronze Mountain.”

Qin Huoshui noticed Hei as well and asked, “You know him?”

“Hei is a Myriad Mountains’s Demon. No matter how you look at it, he shouldn’t be here. There’s a bigger chance that it’s just an apparition.”

Qin Huoshui said, “Then kill it.”

She raised her sword, ready to strike, just as a Hei left the house full of joy as he called out. “Touba Ye, over here!”

“Please don’t attack, Senior. What if it really is him?” Touba Ye rushed to stop her.

He came over with Qin Huoshui and the old woman puppet, killing the grotesque creatures of the black river on the way.

Hei noticed the glaring and overbearing aura the two women let off and was scared stiff.

When the trio arrived, he said, “Touba Ye, what are you doing here?”

The ox Demon picked up the familiar aura from Hei and knew he was in the flesh and not some apparition.

If he were a moment too late, Qin Huoshui would’ve cut Hei in half.

Touba Ye was mighty curious about his presence here as well.

“You took the words right out of my mouth.” Hei said.

“I came to the tomb with Ah’Miao for an immortal inheritance. Speaking of, Young Master said you were carrying out a task outside Ghost Province.

“And weren’t you with Hong Yi and She Zini? I don’t see them.”

“The Futu group took them, and we three came to get them back, but the tomb is so huge we’ve yet to find a lead.”

Touba Ye noticed Ah’Miao inside the house, the fancy light show, and knew she was getting the inheritance.

“Hei, when did you get to Cloud Province?”

“Why would we go there for?” Hei cocked his head.

Touba Ye frowned. “The entrance to this tomb is in Cloud Province. Are you saying you came in from another place?”

Hei rolled his eyes. “We got in through the tomb in Everlasting Jade Lake.”

Touba Ye flinched. “There’s another entrance in the Everlasting Jade Lake? That means the tomb in Cloud Province’s death zone is connected to Ghost Province.”

Touba Ye told his mission to Hei, making him frown.

“So that’s what happened. Have you found anything about Futu in the tomb yet?”

“The tomb is overly complicated. We’ve met with nothing but dangers on the way but found no trace of Futu. I don’t know if Hong Yi and She Zini are even alive.” Touba Ye spoke with worry.

“The tomb is way too dangerous. Once Ah’Miao finishes getting the inheritance, leave this place at once.”

Hei wholly agreed. He and Ah’Miao had met with plenty of deadly perils on the way here, despite surviving them. But the next one they met might very well be their last.

This was why Hei planned on leaving with the cat girl the moment she got the inheritance.

Qin Huoshui glanced at Ah’Miao and said. “The immortal inheritance she’s getting is strong. I’m guessing the body inside the jade coffin had to be from a Celestial Immortal. You’ll need to wait for the baptism to finish.”

Touba Ye paused, “Senior, should we rest here for now, at least until Ah’Miao finishes? We could continue Young Master’s task after we escort them out.”

Qin Huoshui nodded. “My job is to protect you. Whatever becomes of your task or what you want to do is none of my concern.”

…

The bright new dawn marked four days until the disciple contest.

The hustle and bustle of Glorious Heaven City picked up with the rising sun.

Even more so, now that the disciple contest was so close, as more and more geniuses traveled over. It was sure going to be lively.

With how many they were in Glorious Heaven City,  Myriad Mountains had to have way more!

In downtown, Chen Changan and Mo Wentian left the Scarlet Lounge with wide grins.

Chen Changan stretched, feeling full of life.

Mo Wentian did the same, especially since he was patched up of all wounds and aches, making him feel brand new.

“Brother Jiang, how was last night?” Mo Wentian asked.

“Brother Mo, the delicate-looking girls had more strength than I thought. The massage was so relaxing.”

“It sure was, Brother Jiang. Having those girls work out your muscles has its perks, but it doesn’t come cheap. You really surprised me there, Brother Jiang. I never took you for having such vanilla hobbies.”

“Playing hard all the time gets stale. Going slow now and then changes the pace.” Chen Changan smiled.

The real reason was that this body was an avatar, a product of Mirage.

[And we’re men of principles here. If we said we’re here for entertainment and music, then that’s what we’ll have.]

[Playing hard? That just wouldn’t do.]

Leaving Scarlet Lounge, the friends went for noodles.

“Brother Jiang, only four more days until the disciple contest. Will you be joining?”

Chen Changan shook his head, joking. “Why bother? With that supreme existence as your dad, Brother Mo, a good word from you is enough to be his disciple.”

Mo Wentian grew embarrassed. “Brother Jiang, I won’t lie to you anymore. He isn’t my dad. When we met, I was in grave danger and had no choice but to trick you. I ask for your forgiveness, Brother Jiang.”

Chen Changan gasped. “Brother Mo, you led me by the nose!”

Mo Wentian was regretful, taking a secret Immortal Equipment as a way to make amends.

“Brother Jiang, I was wrong. Take this as my token of apology.”

Mo Wentian was no longer as decked in that stuff as when he first entered the city. Each item was crucial for the upcoming contest.

Chen Changan chuckled. “Brother Mo, you keep it. Did you forget about the one you gave me last night?”

“That is one debt, this is another. You saved me by taking me out of Myriad Mountains, and now I’m giving this to you for saving me a second time and to apologize.”

“Brother Jiang, please take it. As a Golden Core cultivator, even if you can’t become that supreme existence’s disciple, the two secret treasures will secure your future.”
