Chapter 107: Is This Human Language?

Lan Ti said again, "But with that Magical Treasure gone, the Xiang royal family’s fortune will decrease by more than half, and may eventually be replaced by other families." "As for the person who seizes the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron..." "What will happen?" "They will be protected by the Power of Faith." Jiang Cheng was still waiting for more details. But Lan Ti’s answer ended abruptly, with no follow-up. "Is that all?" What use is the Power of Faith, it can’t directly increase cultivation, nor can it enhance the divine soul. That cauldron itself is just a lower-grade Magical Treasure. Not being from the Xiang Family, he wouldn’t receive the royal fortune’s blessing either. Using it in battle wouldn’t yield much power. And as for the protection from the Power of Faith, for someone like him who dies every so often, it was utterly useless. Was it really worth all that effort? "You stayed by Ningti’s side just to use her to get that cauldron?" "That’s right." "She’s of the Xiang royal family, how could she possibly help you?" "There’s a reason for that." Lan Ti sighed, "Unfortunately, even she couldn’t get close to the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron, and my plans have had no progress for three years." "So you thought of me this time?" "I thought of the Three-Eyed Tiger behind you. If it was willing to make a move, it would be easy." "Why should I help you?" They weren’t even acquaintances, why should he put in effort for someone else without any reason? No matter how beautiful Lan Ti was, Brother Cheng wasn’t a simp. Lan Ti naturally understood this logic. "As long as you can help me obtain it, you can name your terms." "Really?" Brother Cheng’s eyebrows raised, his smile becoming a bit unscrupulous. "Name my terms?" Lan Ti’s cold eyes were full of determination, this Four-direction Primordial Cauldron seemed extremely important to her. "As long as I can manage it." "Alright, if you agree to become mine, I will definitely help you." This woman looked young. Yet her power had reached the Eighth Layer of the Daoist Palace, with heaven-defying level cultivation talent. With her strength and talent, the system’s price for her would be very high. If she were to become one of mine like Ji Linghan or Lin Ning, how many points would that bring instantly? Eight million? Ten million? Twenty million? Brother Cheng almost drooled! "You..." Lan Ti’s heart skipped a few beats. Whenever a woman hears a man say ’be mine’, the first thought is ’be my woman’, in other words, marry? To help just once and ask for her hand, this guy was too much. "You’re taking advantage of the situation!" "Won’t agree?" Jiang Cheng shrugged, "Then forget it, goodbye." Seeing him actually leave, Lan Ti took a deep breath. "Wait!" She ground her pearl-like teeth, wishing she could stomp this hateful man in front of her a thousand times, right on his face. "I agree." The Four-direction Primordial Cauldron was too important to her, without the protection of the Power of Faith, her lifelong pursuit would be impossible to fulfill. Brother Cheng turned back with surprise. "Really?" These are vast points! "That’s right!" Lan Ti nodded firmly, having made up her mind. Thinking carefully, this person, in terms of looks and talent, was the most outstanding she had ever seen. Even among the young talents of other branches of the Immortal Remnant Race, there wasn’t a man like him. Despite the lack of feelings, a temporary marriage didn’t seem to be a loss. Anyway, when the plan succeeds in the future, she wouldn’t be in the Lower Realm anymore. She had thought it through, but Jiang Cheng wasn’t happy. Since you agreed to be part of my group, why hasn’t the system made that "ding" sound yet? Without that "ding", you’re not one of mine. This woman, did she think she could fool Brother Cheng with just empty words? What nonsense! "You really have no sincerity at all." "A deceitful woman with false affections!" He was expectantly preparing to embrace mass points, but now the disappointment almost broke his heart. "Too much!" Lan Ti, who was originally a bit flustered, was now confused by his words. "What do you mean?" Her exquisite face was instantly covered in frost. I even agreed to the excessive condition of marriage; what more do you want? Do you know how significant and difficult this decision is for a woman? And yet you call me deceitful? And cunning? "What do I mean?" Jiang Cheng sneered coldly, "Just reminding you, don’t take Brother Cheng for a fool." "You, you go to hell!" Lan Ti stomped her feet angrily. Just like that, the two parted on bad terms. As soon as they separated, Brother Cheng started plotting. Regarding the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron, he said it was just that, but he was honest in his heart. After all, it was a Magical Treasure! He didn’t even have something of that tier yet. Even if he didn’t use it, bestowing it to disciples or converting it into points would be worthwhile. What a pity, he should’ve asked more questions just now, like where the cauldron was kept. Otherwise, should he really call over the Three-Eyed Tiger? With its power, a single divine thought sweep should find it. No, no, just thinking of that tiger’s boastful and smug face, he immediately dismissed the idea. "The achievements I, Jiang Cheng, have today, are all earned through my own hard work, never relying on others!" If relying on system exploits counts as hard work. ... After killing seven great experts and over ten thousand Blood Radiance Army, it completely shook the entire Qianxing Dynasty. For a time, Jiang Cheng’s name was mentioned by countless people. In a certain sense, his boastful wish to make a name for himself was fulfilled. Such is life’s irony. Earlier, he killed a bunch of noble young lords and was besieged by various families, branded as a criminal. Now that he killed even more people, no one pursued him anymore. Killing those seven great experts, Emperor Xiang Gaoye knew what it meant. He assigned someone overnight to arrange a new palace for Jiang Cheng, with even more grandeur than before. Ningti, whose Princess’s Mansion was destroyed, also moved in, sharing the same roof once again. Three nights later, this Princess quietly approached him. "Sect Leader Jiang, please save this humble girl..." As soon as she entered, she knelt down with a thud, crying her eyes out like a rainy flower. Brother Cheng was startled; what was happening? Previously, Ningti was always all ’I, the Princess’, ridiculously high-class and cold, he had never seen such a scene before, it almost felt like a complete style breakdown. "Get up and talk." "I won’t, if Sect Leader Jiang doesn’t save me, I won’t get up!" Ningti started acting spoiled. With her national beauty and tearful eyes, she was truly pitiful, few could resist. Too bad, Jiang Cheng had recently seen the even more beautiful Lan Ti. What’s more, Ji Linghan at home wasn’t any less than her. "Alright, since you don’t want to get up, I won’t force you." He initially planned to help her up, but sat back down instead. Ningti, who was kneeling, was stunned. Is this guy human? Are these even human words? However, she really couldn’t get up now, having decided to kneel, she could only continue acting out her role. "Sob, sob, sob, I’m a dignified princess, Sect Leader Jiang must think I have everything and live worry-free, right?"
