Chapter 42: Chapter 42: I Just Killed it! (Seeking followers and monthly tickets) Chapter 42: Chapter 42: I Just Killed it! (Seeking followers and monthly tickets) At this moment, Chen Yuan, was bathed in blood, his skin and flesh torn. He looked indeed somewhat fierce. As the two men looked at each other, they were first interrupted by a cry of urgency. “Sir?” “What happened to you?” Old Man Wu had always been concerned about Chen Yuan, seeing him turn into this shape. The worry in his eyes couldn’t be faked, and his complexion had changed. Chen Yuan assured him it was nothing, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked the robust man with curly whiskers. “May I know who you are?” Qin Hu carefully examined Chen Yuan, with a trace of astonishment. Then he pulled up the corners of his mouth, “From the Prefecture, Qin Hu!” “I presume you must be Chen Yuan!” “It seems you have just experienced a fierce battle, severely wounded, do you need help?” He smelled a strong demonic energy on Chen Yuan, and seeing his appearance, he suspected Chen Yuan had encountered trouble. Towards the end, his gaze carried a bit of seriousness. Chen Yuan clasped his fists, his originally ferocious eyes quickly softened. “Thank you, the trouble has been resolved by me, and the injury is not a hindrance.” “Since we are colleagues, I, Chen, shall perform the duty of a host.” Saying this, he looked towards Old Man Wu. “Old Wu, please prepare some dishes and drinks!” Old Wu hesitated as he looked at Chen Yuan’s injuries but eventually nodded. And hurried off. “Please!” Chen Yuan gestured with his hand. Qin Hu could feel that Chen Yuan was not merely being polite. Coupled with his appearance, it instead had a kind of indescribable fieriness and ease. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of liking. “Perfect timing, I, Qin Hu, have traveled over a thousand li from White Emperor City, and I’m indeed hungry.” He laughed heartily and followed into the inner room. Chen Yuan invited him to sit down in the main room, then excused himself to wash up and change clothes. After a short while, Chen Yuan, dressed in new clothes, came out; Old Wu had prepared the dishes and drinks. Chen Yuan took a seat and first toasted Qin Hu. “Brother, you have come from afar, I’ll drink to you first!” Qin Hu also drank. Praising with a word, “Good”. Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed with a silvery light, sizing up this robust bearded man, his aura steady, concealing his sharpness. In his movements and posture, there was power without form. He must be close to achieving Profound Body Great Success! He didn’t beat around the bush, putting down his cup, he got straight to the point, “I’ll just ask directly, you’ve traveled a long distance from the Prefecture, are you looking for me for some matter?” After drinking, Qin Hu seemed to change his demeanor, exhaling a breath of alcohol. Putting down the cup, looking at Chen Yuan. “Let’s not indulge in those convoluted formalities.” “I think you, young man, are to Old Qin’s liking.” “Let’s cut the long story short.” “Recently, there was a disaster caused by the Feixian Sect in Yunlu County, your matter was known by the Prefecture, the higher-ups investigated the records, and found no record of you, continued the investigation, knowing you were originally the Mountain Patrol Military Officer recruited to internship from Qingshan County...” “So, the Prefecture sent me to verify!” “That’s it!” Saying this, Qin Hu flicked something from his sleeve. Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed and he caught it. He fixed his gaze upon it. A black gold token! A piece of white jade. And a small green bottle. The black gold token was identical to the one he inherited from his predecessor. “This is the Banshan Tiger Talisman, the Prefecture has instructed me, Old Qin, to verify this and then give this talisman to you; every Mountain Patrol Military Officer has a designated Tiger Talisman as a credential.” “Just drop your blood on it, and it shall be activated.” “Every time you slay a demon, use the talisman to absorb a strand of the demon soul to earn the corresponding Contribution Points, which can be exchanged for Martial Arts Skills, elixirs, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and so on.” “That piece of white jade scroll is a Divine Power Refining Method recorded in the arsenal of the Prefecture, and as for that bottle of elixir, it is the Xuanming Pill, which can accelerate the breakthrough of the Profound Acupoint.” “These items are sent from the Prefecture in appreciation of your solitary effort to quell the demon disaster.” “Although our Sky Patrol Department has lost its former glory, our foundation is still profound; we shouldn’t treat our own people unfairly.” Saying this, he paused and looked at Chen Yuan, recalling how this man, despite his fierce appearance, had dealt with the situation calmly, and lightly added, “Old Wu has told me all about your situation!” “You’ve been through a lot during this time!” Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing these words from this bearded Great Han. Then he silently touched the items in his hand. He tried to think that all he was doing was merely to survive in this era. Slay demons, accumulate luck, and strengthen oneself. But there was also an undeniable touch of the worldly society spirit! He deserved these. He smiled and secured the items. The feeling of being remembered was unexpectedly pleasant. He lifted his cup with both hands, said nothing, but toasted. Military Officer Qin Hu seemed to sense this and laughed heartily. They drank together. It was all in the wine. At this moment, this Great Han from White Emperor City sighed deeply from his lungs, “Not sure why, but I feel a particularly strong kinship with Brother Chen today, probably a bit talkative, maybe seeing a new face among this generation of Mountain Patrol Military Officers makes me happy.” Remembering many of his comrades who had fallen, he stopped himself from saying more. Chen Yuan’s eyes twinkled as he said: “I am aware of your care, Brother; say whatever you wish to say.” Qin Hu nodded, his expression solemn, and he couldn’t help but lower his voice: “Brother Chen, take care of yourself!” “Be wary of the Feixian Sect, these guys are colluding with the demons of the Ten Thousand Mountains and have already taken over eleven counties of the Prefecture, aiming to break through the Prefecture and plot against the Central Plains.” “Also, those noble families, craving chaos for the chance to fight for luck and reshape the world, would love nothing more than to see the Court fall and to create turmoil from it.” “In dealing with these families, the Prefecture has suffered heavy losses, limited in manpower, only able to hold the Prefecture, and your two counties might face retaliation from the Feixian Sect, do you understand what I mean?” Chen Yuan certainly understood what his elder brother meant. He couldn’t help but clench his teeth. “I understand.” Qin Hu knew that these words might be untimely at such a moment, but with the current tense situation, it was better to plan ahead. “Alas, the affairs of the two counties may fall on you alone, it’s indeed difficult; you have just broken through to the Profound Body, and the Feixian Sect might send those who have reached Profound Body Great Success or even Perfect to kill you, if you encounter any, send a message to the Prefecture immediately, I will definitely come to help.” Chen Yuan however shook his head. “No need for elder brother to make the trip.” “Uh?” Qin Hu’s gaze sharpened. At this moment, Chen Yuan flicked a piece of fur from his sleeve. A piece of black tiger skin, still stained with speckled blood! The surging demonic qi lowered the temperature of the room. It emitted a heart-throbbing aura. This was what he had collected after slaying a Mountain Lord who was about to knock at the Fourth Heavenly Barrier. The fur of a Third Realm Great Demon, comparable to treasure armor, even carried a hint of Divine Skills from Mountain Lord himself before death, having the Beast Breeding Technique, he naturally wouldn’t let it go. “This is the demon I just killed!” Chen Yuan declared. And Qin Hu immediately stood up, his gaze intently fixed on the tiger skin. Damn, this qi, even stronger than his!
